What the hell am I supposed to do!
This guy is a killing machine against what is mainly an industrial corp. |

I've already tried that. He's taking it out on the corp because of what I've been saying on the forum. Is that against forum rules? |

Nope, saying stuff has consequences.
This is actually the first time I've heard of in-game retribution over forum posting. You must have really pushed his buttons one way or another. Good job.
Your options are:
- Talk to him and figure out what you can do to make the wardec drop (sounds like it isn't working)
- Hire allies to help
- Fight him
- Avoid him (there are plenty of ways to do so, no matter how industry-oriented you are)
- Disband corp, form new one (doesn't solve anything if he wardecs you again)
- Dock up and don't log on to Eve until he gets bored and drops the wardec
A tip, though: the last option is very un-fun, wastes your money, and is equivalent to surrendering to Kane. Take the fun route and do one of the other things. Rifterlings - small gang frigate PvP - lowsec pirate operation, newbie-friendly, free ship program; Join today! www.rifterlings.com

Try to learn from this war dec. As an industrial corp you will get war decced by random people on a semi regular basis, some who has a reason for the war dec, others that just picked your name out of a hat basically.
And who knows, maybe if you and your corp members show a good attitude about this Kane will be willing and able to give you valuable advice on how to handle future war decs that might have crippled your corp even more then this current war dec does.

When I was a young pod pilot we got decced and one of our guys just went 20 jumps away and kept playing (he was a mining pilot back then). The guys attacking didn't want to bother coming after him because they didn't want to waste an hour getting over to there. He happened to have a jump clone and could have skipped back to the originally site if they had actually tried. It ended up being quite entertaining in the long run as he ended up documenting a lot of it.

unlikely
there is only 2-3 people who are actually have any expereince in pvp (including me) all the rest are entirely industry and mining. In other words this entire corp is going to have to hide tommorow because one guy wants to beat me up.
And when is Kane going to show his face in this thread? |

Your only option then is to stand your ground and fight. Challenge him to a duel at high noon in a neutral system with the stakes that the loser has to leave town forever. There is a good chance that your show of sudden fortitude will scare him off and he won't show up and you'll be free to build your wares in peace for the rest of your days. Always remembering the day you bested Cannibal Kane. |

No. EVE is a game where actions (even if that action is saying stuff) have consequences. For what it's worth, for all the forum whining you've done about stuff you don't actually understand (making threads complaining about balance when you've barely dipped your feet into PVP in particular...), I'm surprised he is the only one to wardec you.
Regardless, it's far easier to avoid a fight than force a fight. If you make proper use of the tools at your disposal (station insta-undock bookmarks, smaller/faster ships, local chat) then you can successfully avoid getting ganked all while making him pay a nontrivial amount of ISK ot maintain the wardec. Another option is to simply convo him and see what it would take ot resolve the issue. |

You do realise that whining and bitching on the forums about getting wardeced is going to encourage more people to wardec you?
p.s. It goes on minimum a week. The deccing corp then gets the opportunity to renew the wardec for another week |

War targets feed off your tears, so nut up and feed them your blood instead. Have everyone in your corp fit out a ship and take to the field. Fit out some DD, Logis, EWAR and tacklers and go after him. you may die a lot, but you will learn, and you might actually have some fun.
Next, Learn how to move around while at war. Set up station Instant warp out's, instant docks, gate bounces and system safes. Carry on mining or exploration or whatever it is that you do, just be smart about it and have someone picket the site, keeping an weather eye on D-Scan and local. Quit moving industrial's or have an out of corp alt move stuff around for you. Don't use autopilot, and check out gates before jumping. If you have enough people, train one to be a scout and report on any war targets in the immediate area.
And lastly, for the love of all that is holy, do not develop the mindset that you are a victim. Fight back. You may lose, but you will feel better about it. |

There's also one tactic that involves safe spots and cloaking device. Extremely annoying against those hisec pvp corps that actually want to kill you. More wars they have the better. Longer you can keep their attention the better. |

I've been in contact with him and the only way he'll withdraw the dec is for me to fight him in my battleship. The one I spend -ú15s on to afford via plex and can't even use in missions. I'm not going to waste that kind of money on nothing. |

Sounds like you personally are being punished.
You can either take this as a learning opportunity on metagame mechanics and have some fun with it, or complain about how unfair it is and start walking down washout lane (Starship troopers anyone?? ) |

Use it to keep yourself from having to grind ISK in an asteroid field. Personally, I wanted to PvP so I have spent it on ships and skillbooks.

Ah... memories.... great memories....
Cannibal Kane is a great guy. I also met him in the same way you did. The man is powered by bacon. Unfortunately for you, he has a woman at home that constantly feeds him bacon.
My suggestion is to either pay his fee or inform your corp not to login for 2-3 weeks. See Bio for isk doubling rules. -áIf you didn't read bio, chances are you helped fund those who did. |

Fair Enough. The thing is, even though you are running PvE missions, you can lose a ship. There is a very real reason why you don't undock with a ship you do not want to lose. I personally won't fly anything that cost more than 10% of the cash I have on hand. I am only just now moving into Cruisers. Others may disagree, but that is what I go by.
If I am running missions, or mining, I want to make sure that my ship can pay for itself in 3 runs. 3 trips to an asteroid belt will pay for a venture. 3 missions ought to pay for a new dessie. I am not talking primo fits either, just enough to complete the mission.
Don't sweat being wardecced. Use it as an opportunity to learn. Learn how to function as a target. |

Gonna butt in here. You clearly said something that pissed him off, and now you're being butthurt about it on the forums which is only going to make matters worse for yourself.
I have spoken with Kane in game and he's actually a really nice guy. Ferocious, PvP orientated and deadly, but a reasonable guy none the less. As a noob myself, the guy actually helped me out and gave me a lot of sound advice and stuff. I hope to one day meet him on the field of battle.
Best thing you can do is to earn the guys respect. Hell, show some innitiative, take your battleship meet him on the field of battle but hire a tonne of players to fly by your side and fleet with you. When he engages, you fight with your allies. You'll probably all die a nasty death but at least you will have attempted to actually do something about it...
He has given you a way out of it... Use your head and do something about it... If you're fighting in a "fair" (lol) one on one fight, then you are doing something terribly wrong! Learn to do things that will give you the advantage... Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

Yeah and? Not being funny, but if the OP shows some innitiative and takes the guy head on and shows use of tactics and ways to gain an advantage, that would probably stand in his favour... But instead no, he just creates this post instead...

It's how rookie griefers work. They feed on easy kills. If they don't get any kills they usually give up and move to grief other rookies. |

War is one of several game mechanics meant to prevent high-sec from bring 100% safe. The only way to avoid a war is to disband your corp and stay in an NPC corp. Setup a chat channel and get all your corpies to join it, probably will give you most of the game benefits your current corp does. Otherwise, war is one of the risks of being in a high-sec corp.
A word to the wise. If you don't want to be war dec'd, keep your head low and don't call attention to yourself or the fact that you have expensive ships you don't know how to use. I am not trying to be mean, just pointing out that Eve is a place where the strong take advantage of the weak. Better to put up your poker face. |

Yea, but that won't protect you from peckerwoods like me who like to gank NPC corp members just because of that. I think anyone older than a month should be in a player corp.
I excercise my patented "gank and greet" against brand new players less than 2 weeks old when i catch them mining from time to time though. New players get several positive things from this.
1. an isk payout of between 25 and 100M isk depending upon their attitude. 2. the first death mail 3. kill rights to learn about 4. generally an invitation to fly with myself and more experienced players to help the new guys learn the game faster 5. ship fitting advice 6. opportunity to be a part of the eve community. |

Although I agree with what Kane is up to (sorry man, your foruming is terribad) I can offer some advice.
Kane and his boys are high sec pirates. Move to low sec. It will shake them off of your back...most of them...for little while...as well as giving you the experience that you desperately need to stop sound like a jerk on the forum.
Take it for what you will. Also, since he is killing you over forum posts maybe consider not posting to the forum. You are feeding the wild animals. |

I don't doubt it, but the point still stands. People can do things to mitigate the risk. They can learn to not be afraid to fly around and get on with the business of playing eve while wardecced. And say what you want about Ivy, but we do fly when wardecced. |

Standing out can be dangerous in EVE, thing is that people seem to think that, like other MMOs, there's nothing keeping you from spamming, shouting real loud, trolling, having a big mouth or generally just being annoying. In EVE that can have consequences and for some people the only way to learn that is the hard way.
So yes, OP has been annoying on the forums and generally that'll cause certain people to do a check on said annoying person to see if his biting is actually as good as his barking (it almost never is) and if he'd make for a nice target. It's mostly the retards who do unfunny stuff that gets them noticed and they perpetuate that retardedness when they're put to the test in the form of a wardec. It's funny to wardec a bigger corp as a one man entity (plus alts) because at first they laugh at you because they have X people on the roster and you have just one but very soon their smugness turns to anger, crying and vile hatemail. Each and every time.
Tbh I don't really give a fck about the OP because he's been annoying so good luck to him, but to any newbie out there who reads this; you don't have to hide and be scared of stuff like wardecs (in fact you should embrace them) but if you join a "we're clueless on pvp" corp and either you, one of your corp members or your CEO (it's almost always the CEO) has a big mouth he can't keep shut then expect this sort of thing to happen quite regularly and you should probably start preparing or better yet; find a better corp. |

Since I started my career in EVE at the beginning of June of this year, it's become starkly apparent that jumping straight into PvP after the tutorials is not a very good idea.

The missions are great proving grounds for your skills and ship fits. More importantly, you gain valuable experience.
I've noticed that some players initially equate skills with experience. Nothing could be further from the truth. Persisting in that notion will be an exercise in frustration and failure. You've got to be smart about what you're doing in the EVE universe, no matter what. A pile of skill points is no substitute for experience and perseverance.
EVE demands a lot from its participants. In return, you get an unforgettable experience.

Since I started my career in EVE at the beginning of June of this year, it's become starkly apparent that jumping straight into PvP after the tutorials is not a very good idea. There's an amazing amount of knowledge one must have in order to properly fit a ship for a particular purpose or even a particular opponent. PvE teaches some important lessons there. The missions are great proving grounds for your skills and ship fits. More importantly, you gain valuable experience.
I've noticed that some players initially equate skills with experience. Nothing could be further from the truth. Persisting in that notion will be an exercise in frustration and failure. You've got to be smart about what you're doing in the EVE universe, no matter what. A pile of skill points is no substitute for experience and perseverance.
EVE demands a lot from its participants. In return, you get an unforgettable experience.
The PvE does teach some lessons, it certainly gives you a start on tanking, damage types, resists, the ranges that you can engage opponents etc; what it doesn't prepare you for is the actual PvP experience, and the potential for an adrenalin rush that comes with it. That's where the buy 20 frigates and die hilariously advice, RvB, Brave Newbies, and people like OUCH or Agony come in.

oh my god. I thought this only lasted 24 hours. Now for a week we're going to be able to do nothing.
Who the **** thought this was a good system! probs the same people who thought you'd stand and fight and then gain some PvP exp. you never know maybe if you quit complaining about it and talked to him, he might have some things to teach you.
Maybe you should check Paul's killboard. It's not like he is trying to hide in safety of hisec like some players. |

Hello Ideal Member, i used to fly with you guys too :), Britomaris says hello to hells.
P.S. Well Said on your post.
Thanks! IM's good crew to fly with. Laz and Hells and the gang have been tremendously helpful to this newcomer. Thanks to them, I've gotten a solid footing in the EVE universe. We do a bit of all of it - PvE, mining, exploration, PvP lowsec roams, etc.
Hells sends his regards.

Waiting in an instalocking T3 for a frigate is as engaging as waiting in a belt for a mining laser to finish cycling. Then again, with your next level Autocannon Vengeance and Autocannon Harbingers, what should I have expected? Please stop by Kinnaka and pay us a visit. We could use a good laugh. That kind of stupid is forever. Begone F1 monkey. And thank you for pointing out those fits when I was.... was 3 months old ingame. Besides... That AC Harby/Vengenace killed more ships solo then you ever have killed anything solo.
Three months into the game I knew better than to fit autocannons to a Harbinger. Your armor Talos and RC1 1400 Nado concepts are only slightly better. I eagerly await your entrance into low/nullsec so that I can explore the hilarity of your modern fits.
I wonder what further validation you have for spending your time shooting pods, mining barges, and unfit destroyers with a Legion in highsec. I'm sure it will vastly outweigh the hundreds of fights I've taken outnumbered and against larger ship classes, both solo and in small gang. |

Yea, but that won't protect you from peckerwoods like me who like to gank NPC corp members just because of that. I think anyone older than a month should be in a player corp.
I excercise my patented "gank and greet" against brand new players less than 2 weeks old when i catch them mining from time to time though. New players get several positive things from this.
1. an isk payout of between 25 and 100M isk depending upon their attitude. 2. the first death mail 3. kill rights to learn about 4. generally an invitation to fly with myself and more experienced players to help the new guys learn the game faster 5. ship fitting advice 6. opportunity to be a part of the eve community.[/quote]
You sound like an amazing player. I would imagine there are several skilled EVE players that continued to play and thrive because of your "gank and greet" method. This game man...... |

This is why so many corps have a rule about not posting with your main.
C'mon people, get smart. You have three character slots in a game full of people that want to make you cry. Use one of those slots to make a forum alt if you feel the need to express yourself through the written word. I have usually four to eight characters training on four accts and have yet to post in the forum with one.
Never has one of them been wardecced. Although I have a few times. It's funny to log into your forum alt occasionally only to find out you missed a perfectly good war. LOL
