MC says "Just Say No!"
Quote: 2006.06.02 20:00 Mercenary Coalition has declared war on The Big Blue. After 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved.
Everyone needs to act surprised! No one was expecting this, right?
The greater EVE Community may now consider BWF-ZZ and the surrounding systems a war zone.
The Big Blue may now consider the whole of EVE a war zone.
Okay, game on. We are coming.

Originally by: ParMizaN The lag was still HORRIBLE even when we had a small gang of about 20 people, and i mean mods were taking minutes to activate. I think it's because that system has over 40 large POS and a whole lot of guns etc. Its not fun..
I've been in systems with 200+ people shooting at each other and experienced slight delays, but nothing like what I've seen in BWF. Even in small gangs, it gets boggged down.
It's not about hardware either. The lag appears to be pretty random. Several of us with monster PC's were crippled by the lag, whereas some of our US and Aussie players with 'normal' machines said they had minimal module delays.
The POS issue has been brought up as a consideration more than once. I don't know of another system in EVE with the number of fortifications Blue has online. There has also never been action on this scale in the area since Blue moved in so it's new for everyone.
I've been speaking with Big Blue on the side and we're going to both try to get some extra resources dedicated to the area. This is not going to be a quick or easy campaign and a war like this can be a lot of fun, but the last thing either side wants is for lag to determine the outcome.  -

Originally by: deadmanwalking The latest casualty in the war: In retaliation for FRICK's ganking of many innocent noobs, the innocent FRICK shark has been beheaded!
Noobs? It's scary out there, m8. Taken from MC Teamspeak last night:
FowlPlayChicken calls targets in BWF.

Originally by: deadmanwalking Film was promised. Here it is:
http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/0606/deadshark.png
One of the cans claims this brutal execution in the name of Zandramus and Super Twinkey69 of Eve University. If true, any guesses who FowlPlayChiken will be calling primary for the duration?
If this is true, you have just elevated the status of this war to something far beyond a simple contract. -

Originally by: Riddari Oh wow I can hardly believe MC.
MC use spies = mwahaha.. we are nber MC gets hit by spy = hey! no fair! this is detrimental to our operations!
MC whacks a newbie training corp = its the game dudes MC shark sign gets mutilated (or something) = oh wow dudes, that is personal
Seriously, you've gone past double standards and into the realm of the Twilight Zone.
Spies? No one in MC gave a rat's ass about information that got "leaked". OHONES, the target got 12 whole hours of advance warning. Big deal. We were ****ed that one of our own was pathetic enough to use an alt to do so. That was the issue.
And Big Blue is far from a "Newbie Training Corp". They've put up a better fight so far than most so-called PvP alliances. As a professional courtesy, our pilots are avoiding the EVE-Uni home empire systems and concentrating on BWF and the corridor leading up to it. We've been in daily contact with Blue leadership and they aren't exactly crying about recent events.
Riddari, seriously, WTF is your problem? We know you don't like us. You take every oppertunity to say so, be it here, in the video section or, your own forums, etc... We get the point.  -

Originally by: Irimi Nage Seriously guys, the cans were art, regardless of the corp affiliation, if you want to go commit random acts of stupidity, please go tag murals like every other half-wit chromer.
This is pretty much what it boils down to. This was something that's one of the more famous player-made structures in EVE. Hinik, the artist, is known for this sort of thing and regardless of people's feelings, it's quite the sight to players, new or old.
"Funny" would have been building their own can art next to the Shark, or maybe a giant harpoon going through it or something. That has style and we could respect that. Instead, the pilots in question behaved like kids throwing toilet paper across the lawn or bashing people's mailboxes with a bat.
Oh, and people need to chill with the whole "griefing noobs" nonsense. The EVE-Uni pilots we've run into in this war are not screaming, "OMFG Loser Griefers!!" in local. They are zerging the crap out of us and seem to be having a blast doing it. 
I know that my pilots have not engaged EVE-Uni pilots outside of the area local to BWF and the corridor leading to it. It's not our objective to grief people out of their desire to play the game we all love. We respect EVE-Uni and the role it plays in the game. TBH, I'm mostly disappointed that members of such a corp would do something like this and I'll be curious to see the official response from the EVE-Uni faculty.
As for CHSN, we just felt like shaking your tree a bit, guys. Don't read too much into it.  -

Originally by: Kingdoc So if you fight ôdown in the trenchesö itÆs ok because its war. But if someone messes with something you feel is important during that same war you take it personal?
TBB guerilla warfare tactic perfectly strikes MCÆs ego, wrecking it for untold damage.
The Shark has been there for a long time. Everyone knows it. We've fought more wars than I can remember ATM and no one else has done something like this. What do you think the Amarr Empire would do to someone who blew up that big statue thing outside the Emperor Family station in Amarr, m8? I doubt they'd be happy about it.  -

Originally by: Irrilian Hello,
May I first take this opportunity to apologise for this act of vandalism apparently conducted by two Eve University students. Neither Eve University nor The Big Blue would sanction such an act against a work of art, a public monument, something someone has invested time in for others to share.
Currently Eve University is launching an internal investigation to get to the root of this incident, hopefully we will be able to interview the students whom are apparently involved. Unfortunately no member of EU staff/TBB official has had the opportunity to visit the shark to verify the vandalism.
However I hope you can understand though why some of our students may have feel motivated to pull of such an act of defiance against MC, as I imagine such may have been the motivation rather than simply petty vandalism.
Whomever is responsible, after the hostilities between MC and TBB have ceased may I extend a personal offer to help to restore the shark to his former glory.
Eve University will never condone acts of Vandalism, Theft, or Piracy.
I expected nothing less of your corp, Irrilian. The above is much more in line with what people have come to expect from EVE-Uni. Thank you for the response and we'll be in contact with you directly soon.

Just as a random comment...
People who are not a part of this war seem to have a very interesting (low) opinion of BB and thier abilities. We didn't take this job because we thought it'd be easy. We took it because it looked like a nice challange.
The "n00bs" in question cost us fifteen battleships when we jumped outnumbered into a lagged-out, bubble-infested inferno of death in BWF on Saturday night. Yes, we killed more of them and held the gate at the end, but it's still the most costly "victory" I've ever been a part of in MC...
BB is doing just fine, folks, and quite a lot of them have told us they are enjoying this test of thier resolve.

This posting is far to good to be posted on the Eve forums. You might scare people away (but most likely it will be ignored). /me salutes Hooker.
Wow, you must really like run on sentences , that apart though thank you for the props, I hope it doesnt get ignored Id really like to hear a MC take on my thoughts.
Hooks
Hooker, it was a very good post.
I agree that this does add quite a bit of drama to the situation. In one way, it's one of the things that makes this game great. Things like this show the best and worst of people.
While the MC is "dedicated to bringing pain to others", we've also always tried to keep things within certian boundries. I suppose it was only a matter of time before something like this happened and now it's served to kick things up a notch for both sides.
If nothing else, the comming weekend should be very interesting.
Originally by: Alorin Tye *interesting post*
M8, it will take more than an hour to fix. Regardless, it's not something that requires a lot of explaination or examination. It was just lame and we're ****ed.

Originally by: LoxyRider I think MC members should now stop replying on this subject.
We are annoyed and disapointed. Thats it, this doesnt hurt us, it doesnt infringe on our human rights, we just thought some things would be respected not because it was made by one of our members or associated with us but because it was a special little thing in eve.
End of topic, will have to see if it can be fixed at a later stage, meanwhile back to killing .
Agreed.
EDIT - OMG, you have an England sig now?!

I would just like to thank the members of EVE-Uni who have spammed my inbox this afternoon with apologies over the "Shark Incident". It's smoothed a lot of ruffled feathers and we appreciate it. -
