Haedonism Bot Revolutionary Front New Creation Collective 201	Posted - 2013.02.27 10:11:00 - [1] - Quote Preemptive congratulations to the OP for getting kicked out of EVE University for posting dissenting opinions on the EVE Online forums. When you need a new home look me up. Anyway, perma-decs are perfectly fine and EVE University has benefited from them probably more than anybody else in the game. EVE is a game about doing stuff in hostile space. All the more so post-Crimewatch, where one impulsive decision resulting in a finger twitching restlessly towards the F1 key can result in a publicly available killright. All this is as it should be, of course. As somebody who was in EVE University not that long ago and keeps in touch with the community there I can tell you that the Uni under perma-dec is a better organization than the Uni under dec-shield. Mainly because it has forced them to relax most of their rules in order to be able to continue to undock and function normally. Back in the day the Uni was total carebear land - today they are encouraged to suicide gank and negative sec status is allowed. Join the Revolutionary Front and liberate New Eden from it's stuff.

We actually believe that our rules and WSOPs will save us by discouraging war-decs. - It's a don't feed the trolls strategy, we're hoping that folks will get bored and go away. It's carebear thinking... Thing is, it can work. If you are boring enough, it is unprofitable and boring for the wardeccers. And you have to be very...very...VERY boring. If your wardeccer gets any kills, or comments in local, at all...You are being entertaining. Since the university is obviously not being boring and providing entertainment. They will continue to get pummelled. That strategy definitely can work for smaller alliances with a good level of discipline, but it has never worked for EVE Uni. The Uni is just too big and too noob heavy for it. There will always be people who just ignore the rules or feel that the rules don't apply to them for some reason. People will still undock in stupid ships and do stupid things, feeding juicy kills to the war targets. Even in the old days when the war SOP was actually enforced this was the case. The directors used to spend all their gametime during wars running around chasing members flying exhumers, haulers and the like, and blowing them up before the war targets could get the chance. The offending members would also be banned for disregarding the SOP, but even so, there was no way to stop the foolish war losses. Managing a noob-friendly corp is like herding cats at the best of times. Also, for high profile corps like the Uni, even if they do everything with a perfect level of discipline, there will always be corps with enough isk that maintaining a wardec indefinitely is no issue. Sure, they can stay locked down and bore you for a week, maybe, but sooner or later they are going to have to undock and do things in space, or their whole organization would become irrelevant. Also, in a related note, Kelduum Revaan just quit as CEO of E-Uni. It will be interesting to see how things change. Join the Revolutionary Front and liberate New Eden from it's stuff.
