Unless it's a tournament type deal, I really dislike the notion of arranged fights. Wormhole space, to me, is all about the surprise. Most fights will end up being one sided in those circumstances. This mentality is why we invaded you. You invaded us because we didn't agree to an arranged fight?  Not sure what happened after I went away from game, but I know for a fact we had a few fights with you guys before I went on break. They were pretty good iirc, so I am not sure why that would cause any issues. I'm guessing it's more an issue that you feel all fights should be one-sided instead of throwing caution to the wind and engaging even or worse odds for the hell of it. Oh Hai Galen. You mean engaging haphazardly like we did last night?  It did show me how much some of our logi pilots need practice.. 10 seconds in they failed to get cap chain up and I was like OMG!!!!! SRSLY???  However, no one who was there was mad about the spanking we got. It was pretty damn fun--next time, my friend, next time!
Hey Rall! Did your logi pilots cap out? I thought that was our ECM. Either way, was a good fight and a definite example of the kind of attitude wormholers should have: "Hey, I think we can take them, let's melt some face!" Arranged fights are for when you have 6 duders online and someone sweeps by with 20. Yeah, 14 of the larger group might miss out, but at least a fight was had and bob appeased. |

The issue is CCP has little interest in creating an environment that has a fair play PVP aspect to it, so you just have to meet people and hope for the best. Then do it again, if you get a chance.
I've read post after post of players suggesting a PVP arena, but they all get shot down with rants of sandbox this and that....
I don't think EVE will ever be fair or honorable, only players.
I for one would welcome a CCP sanctioned PVP T1 class 1vs1 arena and a nice little score board to make it interesting.
This is why I don't PVP, really because it is so rarely competitive.

Confirming arranged fights are a thing in W-Space and we will honour them.
We offered one up to a pretty large entity though a fortnight or so ago, I forget who, when they jumped us ratting but they said they preferred not to. Congratulated us on getting our PVE gang out intact, and rolled their conx.
Takes all sorts I guess.

Some people only have the "balls" to surprisebuttecks, unfortunately, which is why they resort to calling arranged PvP lame. |

We love doing arranged fights as we usually get outnumbered by people who roll into us. Usually we'll attempt to fight with what we have first, and when we inevitably get whelped, we'll ask whoever is there for an arranged fight at either the sun or on a hole. They're a great time and we've always honoured them, as have our opponents. If someone asks, we'll gladly oblige them with a fight. |

Eh, they failed to cap chain, and as soon as they did chain, your ecm took hold, so we were ******.
I don't intend us to farm or bear; I intend us to pew. It was a good day to die.

When we were barely two months old, we had an honor fight with Task Force Proteus following an unplanned fight a week earlier (just random hole connections). We fell completely apart in the honor fight due to an influx of new people who weren't used to each other and, to be honest, one of my worst moments ever Fc'ing.
Bad Fc'ing + leroying + people not listening beyond that = epically funny failscade in a fleet
It was SO bad.
The previous fight had all been mature pilots who knew each other. That one went on longer and was far more entertaining for both sides....
I learned the neutralizing power of sensor damps on a falcon in the first (unplanned) fight... my falcon buddy was useless to help us.

I guess the only way to find out who will actually honor them, is to actually test it and make yourself a list. Pretty sure i remember noho having an arranged t1 cruiser brawl with hard knocks for example a while ago.
If you have rolled into one of those corps holes or they role into you, don't expect it to happen if you don't ask though is all i have to say.
I cant remember if that was Hard Knocks or not but we had a stand off on the static with equal forces and the FC's arranged for us both to reship to tech 1 ships and have a brawl, there were a few battle badgers involved.
I also recall a fight with Exhale where our statics both connected to the same c6 so we both arranged to go balls deep in the static and more recently we were contacted by frozen dawn looking for a fight if we could roll into them.
They do happen occasionally and they're generally a lot of fun, I'd trust any wormhole alliance to honour such agreements. |

We've had arranged fights with SSC and E-UNI so far. In the first case it was to ensure SSC didn't blob us with capitals if we jumped into them, and in the second case it was to assure E-UNI that we would not use more than a single carrier for logistics if they jumped into us (since they had triple guardian and we had none). It takes some of the surprise out of it, but I get just as much of a rush out of a relatively even fight that's set up as I do those that we get lucky with.
Seeing all these posts from the larger C5 corps about Cruiser fleets at the sun I think I know what I'm buying my guy's for Halloween...

You hide behind an alt when posting.
You are Ok with other people not keeping their word.
No one knows you.
Of course most people are not going to agree to a fight. You claim to keep your word, but no one knows you so that cannot be established. Your claiming to keep your word is a worthless claim by your own admission. Every scammer in the game claims to be honorable until they have your ISK.
Most of the arranged fights we get are with groups where we know someone on the other side or have fought them honorably in the past. These fights can be a lot of fun for both groups.
I have flown with or against a lot of the people responding in this thread. Once people know you will keep your word, you find that arranged fights are more easily obtained.
A corp rule requiring that you do not post with your mains seems designed to create a level of distrust. The groups in wormhole space know each other. We will shoot at each other today and help each other the next. It is our way of life. :p
Man up and post with your main! |

Firstly, *I* am not hiding behind anything, as stated previously my alliance leadership doesn't allow posting on the forums. Secondly, I'm not "OK" with people breaking their word, I simply understand that this is EVE, and people DO that, so I don't get all butthurt about it when it happens.
You, and a few others like you, have made it abundantly clear that I was in the wrong type of corp/alliance. I am waiting for roles to expire and am leaving that group and am moving on to a nullsec alliance. You don't need to bother yourself with hearing from me on the subject any longer, my apologies for troubling you.

Obviously, you've never ran into us in our systems - if you offer a fight / to ship-down / whatever, we'll gladly fight in on an even field.
Hell, we'll send in a small (5-6 pilots) fleet of thrashers to die in a fire against a dozen T3s if someone's looking for a fight in our system. We may not always win, but we'll fight.
We pay our dues to Bob and because of it, we have a lot of fun without being complete douchebags.
And yes, we've even YOLO'd a dread before. |

I can honestly (lol) say that mature wormhole corps tend to be the most honest and trustworthy corps around. Your name is all you have in a wormhole, and keeping it out of the mud is always important.
Being banned from posting on the forums just says you have a bunch of immature runts in your corp that leadership is afraid of giving them a few black eyes. |
