Edited by: Liu Lijuan on 16/06/2006 07:28:13 Edited by: Liu Lijuan on 16/06/2006 07:27:55 Yesterday I recieved the mail that we have been war dec'd by Cruel Denim. Cruel Denim are a Merc corp and were, apparently, hired to go to war with Ecosse.
No reason has been given for this war and the client was not named. There has been a settlement fee of 25mil Isk issued if we want to stop the war, that we will not pay.
Everyone has there job to do, but since we are all indy based with 0 fighting skills then this war will not be fun for the merc corp, I take this opertunity to have a holiday from mining and sit in my lovely station reading those skill books.
If the client wishes to discuss the reason behind this war then please contact me.

cheaper than 25m?!?
btw your "We are carebears and can not fight so there will be no fun for the merc corp" attitude sucks. get into some disposable ships, gang up and start fighting back. you might actually learn some real pvp skills.

Please keep this post smack free.
25mil is maybe little for you people but its a lot for a small corp that has not long started and 25mil would take use weeks to earn back.
I dont care about how many replies I get, rather than trying to contact the "client" to find out why this has happened. These forums are not only just for the big guys, us small fish need a space to talk too, and simply want to find out why this happened.
So, yeah, taking afew frigs out to be popped everytime does not sound like fun. I simply have 0 combat skills up against a 2 year old char. Once I have the indy skills I have then it will be different as empire life sucks so moving to 0.4 or less is much better, but those are long plans.
So please keep the forums smack free.

Well you shouldnt worry to much. If the settlement is 25m isk then the mercs cant be state of the art ;) So dont be afraid to have a go at them. Try to engage them a few times and see how you do. I bet it will be fun. It wont be 2 years old players. 25m isk says it all. Hell, id even fund some t1 frigs for ya hehe.

Judging by the amount demanded and your corp history, it's likely that Cruel Denim aren't mercs at all, or wannabe mercs at best. They more likely high-sec pirates that pick industry corps to extort. There is probably no client to settle things with.
How you deal with it is up to you. Growing some nuts and fighting back is a popular thing to suggest, but not always so easy, depending on how your collective SP and wallets add up.
Paying them off means they succeed and go on to another corp, possibly using you and others as trophies when claiming to be successful mercs to real clients.
Playing station simulator will ruin your gaming for a while, you could always have some chars quit the corp and go mine their brains out. You'll obviously be called cowards by the high-sec pirates who want easy kills, but it's a nice middle-finger gesture to their tactics.

Hi
i'm sorely bored with EVE. Helping out newer players though, that might be fun.
If you want help, EVE-mail me the name of the corp (because i have a crappy memory) and the names of all the people from that corp you've seen so far. I will do some checking, and if i think i can do something i will contact you.
Obviously, this is not my main.

Well thank you for all the kind comments, and for those who say why post here. I posted here to see if the "client" would talk, as to the reason why. I have done nothing except build and sell stuff...ok I may under cut people and take less pofit but surely thats not a good reason for a war
I have decided to fit up a few frigs just for fun, but I kow it will bee pointless

Nice move there Liu, this place is a discussion area and as you quoted, this forum does deal with "conflicts", for "Corps, alliances and organisations.
I see your only 3 months old and looking at the ceo for cruel denim he is 2 years old, but corp only a few days, so cant relly see how good they are. As for no reason for the war, then I would simply ignore them, or fight them. In the long run it will cost them more to keep the war going.

Since you use industrial ships, you have at least frigate skills, so it does not take too long to train basic gunnery or missiles skills
You've been war dec'ed by a 4 men corp, so just jump in your frig and have a go at them. 5 or 6 frig with T1 gear in it will crush any ship upto BC. Honestly , you can squeeze them like a mouse , the only thing you really need is the will.

So could many of alot of the other alliance/corp posts, and as he is saying he allowed to post here. Go smack some alt thread instead please.

I think the main point here, is yet another small corp getting war dec'd
No matter how big or small the ransom, what fun is there in picking on targets that are obviously going to get ganked in combat?
MercÆs should by nature looking for harder kills to show how good they are not at how good they are at spanking carebears, thats not something to be proud off is it ?

If the settlement is 25mill, then it's not the mercs. No merc corp would even read a proposal if it's only about 25 mill ISK. You can get in combat ships and engage them. Soon, you'll see that they will be playing station sim game

1) In all liklihood there is no client. You have a bored pirate corp that wants to pretend they are mercs, and extort money from you
2) If there were a client, chances are A) The mercs wouldnt offer a buyout of the contract or B) it would be way more than 25 mil.
3) If the "mercs" that war dec'd you are willing to go away for 25 mil, they probably suck. 25 mil is like half a frigate and fittings for most experienced players. Just get yourself into some disposable frigates like kestrels, griffins, etc and fight back. You might even inflict some losses, at which point this problem will probably go away on its own.

Glad to hear that, honestly its all good for you, it will provide you and your corp free training and no sec loss ( pod them while you're at it ). The only reason they take on you is because they think you're weak and wil be afraid to fight them back.
PS : use of EW is good, fit a few frig with tracking disruptors, dampeners and ECM on it.
Good luck and have fun

This sir is one of the big problems eve has. The attitude of people like you, and I am not talking about BoB in general here. The post was valid and appropiate for this forum and there was no reason to be mean. I for one would love to see more smaller corps post about their problems and come to the board, but they don't, because they get always talked down by people like you. I am sure it wont be a mistake to show a bit more class and maybe give advice or just shut up and do not make ANY comment instead of a negative one. Posting here about things like that should be encouraged and not discouraged. Currently we have a VERY small range of corps and alliances posting here and to be honest the majority of eve cares more about the things the OP posted about then BoB whatever. These things are way closer to the average eve player then most of the other stuff being posted here.
I hererby ask all smaller corps to post their press releases and things about their corps here WAY more and i would like to ask the "cool guys" to show a bit more class and think more often before posting and especially think about the consequences.
Sorry for making sense =( i will make a stupid post again next time.

Did i anywhere say that i dont care? If i wouldnt care would i reply? NO, i care because the expressed "We are carebears and can not fight....." attitude is just wrong. If you never fight back you will never learn how to fight. PvP is not about ingame skill(point)s, it is 90% about experience. And it will never be "cheaper" to aquire that experience than when you are still young. Cheap Frigates, cheap clones......
Far too many peeps think they need more skillpoints first..... then they have their head full of implants..... are too scared to lose them..... and NEVER pvp.
good to hear you changed your mind liu, you'll have lots of fun and learn loads of new stuff every single day during the war for sure.

In a universe as big as Eve, one little voice can make changes. Yes all smaller corps should post here as it makes a difference. The situation that has risen now, may not have come true if it wasn't for my origonal post.
Cruel Denim are not a Merc corp, rather a pirate corp who have went after 3 other smaller corps looking for cheap ganks I suppose.
No we plan to fight back with some help.
I urge all small corps who have problems to post here, all it takes is a small voice to make a difference, we will pull together to crush these pirates. Every voice is meaning full, every voice makes a ripple in the sea that grows out to others, combining all the ripples from all the small voices can and will make a difference. Make yourself be heard, and ignore the flamers/smackers in this forum.
To wa rwe go, for fun will be had....
