All other corps in S2N Citizens' alliance have been kicked and due to wardecs cannot do anything for a week. The former director in S2N Holdings who did all this has joined Circle-of-Two (A CFC alliance).
A lesson to all alliances, if you don't know the players in RL, that is exactly what can happen.
And since this is the playbook (think BoB) you know it'll happen again, too.
Not exactly clever, considering it's just history repeating itself and folks letting it. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

I mean if he was, MAN did he ever forget to prepare for a lot of things, like dropping tcu's there directly after the fact for example. I would be surprised if he didn't know, but but seems someone else (maybe more than one person) was involved in helping that guy get to, and push, the button.
That he was allowed to push the button in the first place was the problem.
It's a lesson (in all games really) that officers are to be trusted only so far, due to this potential. In WoW it's not deleting the guild bank and taking the gold (that all can be replaced), it's splintering the guild and taking your best players away. Which is why officers are best to be RL friends and/or family, as you have to meet that guy/gal in RL...and no game is worth destroying both being friends and having a family.
Like BoB, Solar trusted random strangers on the internet. That's like giving someone your pin number to a total stranger. If you can't recruit offline with friends or family to protect assets, you really shouldn't have an alliance. As you will get hit like this, especially in a game where crime is allowed.
Street smarts is needed, and geeks better get with the program. There's no cops here, and fun and games can end pretty badly. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

It's pretty well planned when it goes very smoothly.
It's just history repeating itself. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

The only work those thousands ever did was slave away in the isk mines of their masters.
Blue doughnut became the prey.
Like with James and crew selling "miner protection".
Why to play with RL friends and family, because of what "pubbies" like to do. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell
