Abaddon Rising (RIOT) declared its intention to take EVOTECH to war unless a ransom was paid. Although this ransom demand was offered to us, the smack recieved throughout negotiations meant that a physical response was the only method available to us. EVOTECH then declared its intention to join ISS in order to put us off this course of action. It has not.
ISS through Serenity Steel was warned that the encompassing of EVEOTECH into its ranks would be considered a direct insult and war would be brought to them accordingly.
These are the results of the first weeks battle.
RIOT Losses: 1 Megathron (50 mil) 1 Celestis (10 mil)
Kills: 3 Cruisers 6 Frigates 2 Tech 2 frigates 1 Industrial ship 1 Barge 1 Shuttle 5 Pods
Not including ship cost, loot from the kills totals 130 million ISK.
As well as the kills 1 freighter was caught, he was brought to ransom and paid 400 million ISK to not be destroyed. The ship was allowed to warp to station where it was harried until docked so as to disrupt operations.
Freighter screenshot
Total operation profit for this week: 470 million ISK
Due to the fiscal success of these operations, the war will be continued until we are in a state of net loss, until evotech is removed from ISS, or until evotech pays a ransom of 150 million ISK.
It should be noted that we have every respect for ISS, and what they are trying to achieve. Although sorry to take this action to them, not least due to the poor quality of "pvp", we cannot back down from such a bunch of smacktards as EVOTECH.
PLEASE keep this opinion and smack free, especially if your not involved.
Preferably i'd like to see a *click*.
Unless a diplomatic solution is realised, we'll see you next week.

Well Capt 69, you doing this ransom thingy and not immediately ganking any civilian you see.. respect for that.

I actually thought you were the REAL skillz and was bothered then .. then i realised your not and dont care. READ THE POST, i didnt dec them,they encompased a corp we had decced already. And as for win and lose? from a purely ship point of view i'm far from proud. It wasn't about that, just a report on results.

I didnt say he couldn't post tyvm. I'm not that pretentious, and regardless of what you may think, neither is most of BoB. If however you need clarification of my pre-edit intent, I was remarking that on a contract you shouldn't ransom, you should kill. I then realised it wasnt a contract, it was just killing. So I removed my comment. But thanks for making sure I can't post MY opinion with BoB tags without being harassed.

I wasnt referring to you at all and I just singled you out cos of the RKK chap. Was just asking people to go easy on the guy, people have to start somewere
Edit: is this even a contract, looks like a corp ransom

Yeah, I realised that a moment to late too.
From the look of the title, I thought I was reading merc contract results. I was wrong.
But I must point out that if you post results in this forum, people are going to answer honestly. If they are impressed or not. If someones opinion is that this is not impressive, theres nothing saying he can't post that.
Regardless of what alliance they are in.
Anyways, no offence, none taken.

Just as a personal comment here, ransoming a freighter pilot for every penny they have, and then doing large amounts of damage to it after a fair ransom was paid is, in my mind, dishonourable. I have no personal problem with ransoming someone, but once you do you should let them dock without interference. Continuing to do some further 40-50 mill worth of damage to the ship is just petty.
Don't get my wrong, this isn't a winge, but it does mean that I'm not sure we can trust any future ransoms and or offers of 1v1 engagements.
Btw, said freighter pilot is in my corp. Yes piloting a freighter through empire in a war is pershaps foolish, but she only joined our corp a while ago and hasn't had the freighter long (it's a personal ship, not a corp owned ship). These things happen and I think she's learnt her lesson ;)

We could have done, but that still wouldn't remove the structural damage. Besides, I don't think we have any pilots in the corp capable of doing so anywhere nearby. Repairs were funded corp wallet and were really not that big a deal in the grand scale of things. It's just the lack of honour when ransoming that gets to me.

I peronally knew I would not be able to take down the ship. The structure alone is far too much for my thorax. So, your pilot was safe...otherwise, I would have continued my attack at the gate, and not allow her to warp to a station. What bothers me most is, that whole ordeal took about 15 to 20 minutes. More than enough time to mobilize something at least to help out your corp member. While she herself has learned a valuable lesson, I believe you and your members should also learn a lesson, and that is always look out for your members. When one needs help..be there.
Whether you feel ransoming/pirating/ etc is fair, dishonorable, etc...matters little. Its a war. Our goal in the end is to get ISS to kick out evotech, and they pay up. War is war..and a lot of crap happenns along the way.
BTW, tell ur pilot I hope her kid gets better (if her story is real). I don't jokingly say that. Eve is a game, real life is more important. good day.

ISS is meant to be a *civilian* alliance. As such, they don't win wars by fighting you off, but by not getting killed. If they all followed the instructions for operations during wartime (and god knows they get posted often enough, I used to post them every so often myself) ... you'd (a) get bored, and (b) lose money on the deal, and you'd go away.
The more time they waste actually trying to fight you, the worse this war will hurt them. ________________________________________________

That statement just never gets old...lol. You know, it matters little what you think..in the end, we all pay to play eve. We all play to have fun. Besides, evotech is more than just some afk mining corp. We didn't ask to fight ISS, they joined ISS in the middle of our war with Evotech. Anyway, doesn't matter, I pay to play how I want to..just like you do.

wtb: t2 tissue for my bleeding heart
grow some balls and ransom a corp that can defend itself. I would doubt that ISS would give in to ransom demands, and you know it. as for evotech, they themselves are industrialists; ransoming carebears has no honor.
Perhaps Evotech should take the 150mil you want for ransom, and buy some mercs to turn your tiny trashy little corp into scrapmetal?

This is not intended as a flame (though it will undoubtedly come across as one), just an observation I have an honest question about.
Baldour, why is it that I see you posting on "behalf" of ISS or whatever, yet every time there's an active war on ISS you're always to be found in Aliastra? I mention this merely because it was true when we were at war with ISS as well as now.

I like how this man thinks..
I bet there is a ton of good corps out there that would pick that job up.
