Best thing I remember is they we're always up for a fight when our group "triad" was roaming the catch pipe, and they got better at fighting with every engagment :)

My first memories of Huzzah were of joining, having instas down the pipe, and running it in frigs before my trial membership had even expired. I got in dirty and fast, had some fun, lost some ships and even killed a few. Proud to have been with Huzzah, and proud to be fighting on with the guys in No Quarter.

SA attacked us, remember?
It brings up another interesting point though. When SA did that, Huzzah stepped back because they saw what SA was doing was wrong, and it wasn't what they agreed to. That took a lot more balls than joining in would have.
Attacking the guy who's already stated he's about to attack you barely counts as starting a war.
And Huzzah bailed when they saw a better position for themselves in an area now owned by more deserving corps 
But it's a matter I don't really care much about anymore, even though I like taking sides with deserving people. --------------------------------------

Edited by: Sacul on 21/08/2006 00:23:49 I had an hell of a fun time shooting HuZZzzzzzAaaaaHhh when i was in the Triad/Asuya. The Darwinian process we and others made u endure went a little bit fast and after a few months we actually had to watch out when we wanted to engage HF, that took some getting use to.....ghehe.. I had fun and Erik Kilson was the best jammer ever at that time( made me train up my skills just cause i wanted to outjam him).
Respect!! (which i briefly lost when Hans did his little cyno thing in H74)

To be fair, my first experience in HF was being ganked by 22 Triad (ASUYA and Co.) T2 frigs and HACs on I think the 9koe gate whilst I was 'scouting' in my geddon as our corp (Killson Corp) was moving its first assets to V2-VC2 in January. I kinda got greased, bad, and learned something there which I didn't repeat again

Heh. What balls are you talking about ? They betrayed SA, alliance, that gave them life in 0.0 Why they did that - because of fear of losing their part of 0.0 space, i guess. If your ally said : "A", you must say : "B". Or don`t ally at all. But hey, this is just my opinion

My first ever alliance and the people i cut my PvP teeth with.
Look snorri! Pirates! and off we would charge in our cruisers at the sniping BS Didnt work out too well.
Also got my first taste of POS's with them, back before you could moon mine (so this thing just eats our money and does nothing else huh? Lets not put up another one guys....guys?) ________________ What you do is you store up the rage, let it fester while you gain strength, then use it to gank those weaker than you... and so the circle of life is complete |

To be honest what people see in public and what happens behind the scenes can be two different things, when Trigger came back after a couple of days we had a public face where Huzzah had pulled out entirely but of course our friendship was still strong and we claimed the space that formed the entrance to SA so we could keep FIX out of SA space (they would have to cross ours to get there) as per the terms of our NAP as well as offer safe haven for SA pilots who wanted it. There was no way Huzzah could have kept the conquerable stations at that time so we (Trigger and myself) agreed for Huzzah to pull out and at least be in the region as an ally and providing the support it could do. Not to mention we all thought WTF as no offence m8 but OrcA you managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and no one was signing up to that as well as changing the NAP after it was agreed was wrong.
Anyway that is what EVE is about, a game with real politics and double dealings and I posted the above so that you can see what happens at the alliance level. As neither of the enitities really exist anymore it doesn't matter saying this now.

My former corp joined HF when the alliance was about to take FAT. We did a freighter move, jumped into the battle and placed a large tower the same day in FAT. This was a load of work.
I was really impressed by the strong will to fight by HF and we knew that this was the right place for us.
Huzzah rocked and with Hans we had one of the most inspiring leaders I was ever allowed to meet in my almost three years of EVE.

Edited by: Mahrin Skel on 21/08/2006 19:12:09 My first exposure to HF was "Who the hell are these guys?" when FIX lost 5-N to them during the first phase of the SA war. Generally, I thought they were okay guys with lousy taste in allies. During the long grind in Q against CODA, I knew that the day HF finally threw real numbers back into the fight (they were distracted by BoB's attack in V2) we were going to be hopelessly outnumbered (instead of just badly outnumbered).
Then they did, and we started scrambling to extract our remaining assets from 9CG, only to see BoB come in and over the next 2 weeks fight one of the biggest battles Eve had ever seen. Which was all good, we had reconciled ourselves to the notion that Q wasn't going to be ours and better to see BoB take it than the opportunists profit from dragging us down.
Then "Huzzah is primary." The residency deal with BoB, weeks of constant raiding into Catch, hours of playing "peekaboo" in a covert behind the lines. I missed out on seeing SA fold up and Huzzah's demise, due to real life commitments. I'm glad FIX allowed HF the opportunity to make an orderly withdrawal, even if it was something they never granted to us.
I have a deep and profound gratitude to HF for their part in letting me fight the good fight against impossible odds. In Eve as in life, the only way you really know what you're made of is when you're pushed against the wall.

God knows I like the old Stain guys but similar to the time I said that I would would never ever join SA again, I can say with full confidence that I won't ever join this corp.
Hell, I probably won't ever fully leave UDIE.. with members who are induvidually better than almost anyone in Eve (AND can cope with me messing around) it's just way too sweet to willingly let go of. --------------------------------------

My first meeting with some Huzzah where in 0.0 where me and some corpmates where hunting in the belt, they where hunting pirates and since we where not pirates we where left alone. Impressed me alot we had one guy in corp with negative stats so he was kinda nervous hehe but in chat with a huzzah guy he explained to us that unless we acted hostile towards them they would leave us alone.
Also got invitation to join the alliance, and to this day this is still one of the alliance I would consider joining.
Only problem is that we are very freelancers and so no forced gatecamps or miningops on us... (not that I know if Huzzah have it like that), we would however fight when alliance is under attack. Who knows.. maybe one day we seek out to 0.0...  ---------------------------------------------- "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things." 1 cor. |

Edited by: Zrevak Ashek on 22/08/2006 00:45:48 Arcticblue ..eh? Ure the crazy guy trying desperately to get Rune to make an artcle about Eve, arent u? 
Anyways, my first meeting with Huzzah was uhm..way back! Huzzah had almost collapsed..more or less and was down to about 100 members.If I remember correctly, we had a joint camping ops with CVA and *cough* Swedish Aerospace in R3. Alexander Drahl was in command of that fleet, and I remember he sounded like what I allways imagined a RL admiral would sound like! It was...like...supercool Eve felt almost real at that moment in time...
(At that time, Hans Roaming was a supernoob that apperantly had no idea what he was doing ...then he bacame a superforum*****. First on our internal boards and then on Eve-o ...next thing, he was president . The rest is history which the community is very familiar with )

That wouldnt happen to be The Priory huzzah war would it? but yea my first memory of huzzah was that war, running around with my all of 5 mil skill points tackling what ever i could in my little intercepter of doom. that war had some of the best fights ive had in eve and got me hooked on the pvp side of eve

I have to admit some confusion about the above statement. Betrayal is a pretty strong word to throw about, and even in FIX it wasn't really looked upon like that. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but...
-BoB members made some statements on these forums that made SA very nervous. -SA paniced, OrcA threw a fit and war was declared. -HF wasn't asked for their opinion on this bright idea. -HF basically said, 'you've lost your marbles', and said they weren't getting involved beyond what they had committed too already. <-conjecture
The rest of Eve considered SA to be declaring suicide when all this went down; would you expect HF to have hopped onto that particular bandwagon?
Anywho... First recollection I have of HF was the declaration that they would be fighting alongside SA against FIX. 'Who?' and 'How many?' were popular questions in FIX that day.

I am pretty sure it was the war against CoC and Captain Morgan Society. The Priory/TSBS and later on UK vs Huzzah war had not so a great impact on our membercount...

the one and only and as senior game reviewer in one of the largest newspapers in Norway I think he should think of other games too.. not only consoles and WoW...  So have sort of spammed their forum with EVE-Online stories and well bragging . But Rune won't review this game... claims they don't review old games, yet ... he continues to review every tiny bit of WoW... Also, did like his comment about eve.... "What am I suppose to review ? EVE is a great game, EVE is still a great game ... " so suppose he do like it somehow  ---------------------------------------------- "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things." 1 cor. |

Another thing worth noting: from what I understand, HF had apparently already agreed to the original form of the ceasefire agreement, which is to say the version proposed before OrcA did his, uh, "edits". The choice, therefore, was between dishonouring the agreed-to ceasefire before the ink had even dried or bailing out on our ally in their act of profound poor faith and political suicide; neither choice was particularly appealing. In the end, I suppose Hans decided to be a man of his formal word before all other considerations - at least until he decided FAT was awfully sparkly-shiny, anyways.

sa was dead when you came, but if it makes you feel like your right by saying they didnt come becuase we pulled out makes you feel better. thats fine keep farming dude eventually it'll catch up to you. and tbh these talks about who pulled out of who in who's home isnt on topic to the OP. might as well stop becuase its over and it cant be changed anyway
back on topic
my first memory of huzzah: i was still in my trial period and some real life friends joined a corp within huzzah and got me in. my whole 300k SP and all. 2 weeks later im in fat. thanks huzzah for the great times. thanks NOQ for the future

More complicated than that; go see my previous post as to why. Words and pledges were going to be broken no matter which way we cut it. Furthermore, just because you're allied with somebody doesn't mean you support their every single move, no matter how dimwitted - in your example, it would be more like "you walk into a bar just to see your friend drunkenly picking a fight with a half-dozen off-duty Marines." Well, hell, that's pretty goddamn stupid of your friend, now isn't it?
Furthermore, we were still fighting alongside SA during the re-invasion of FAT (flying under thebold was a sublime treat) up to and including the 9CG debacle, so it's not like that OrcA's bout of lunacy was the end of the HF-SA relationship. No, that only ended with the collapse of SA; we still worked together quite cordially up until then.
Quote: "United - we stand". We strangled HF in 3 weeks, and in those 3 weeks - nobody from their allies helped them - "what comes around...". May be leaving SA to fight BoB alone was not the brightest idea ?
We had assistance from both IAC and ASCN/AXE, although only IAC proved forthcoming with the capital assets that we desperately needed. Manpower and fleet assets were never issues for us; dreadnaught availability was. When it comes to modern POS warfare, you either have the tools necessary to fight...or you don't. We fell into the second category, and promptly found out that if you did not have the tools, all the morale, elan, or popular mobilization of forces in the world meant absolutely nothing.
Let our fate be a lesson to all the other middling alliance powers out there, I suppose - if you do not have the ability to mobilize a dozen-plus dreadnaughts simultaneously, you are only master of your own space so long as nobody else decides to take it.
Anyways. My first memory of Huzzah? Uhhh, I joined Huzzah alongside the rest of TBMH back during the summer of '05, which means it was right in the middle of one of the Priory/TSBS wars. My crash courses in PvP was therefore me flying Kestrels and Rifters, woo! I fondly remember playing cat-and-mouse with a TSBS gang in R3 for the better part of an hour until our gang leader (Russo, I believe - absolute ass of a man, but he's not a bad gang commander) tripped up the enemy gang with warp-in distances and proceeded to tear it to shreds. So yay for Huzzah for introducing me to EVE PvP!
Even then a peculiar characteristic of Huzzah was obvious to me - when pushed to a certain point, Huzzah would cease despairing and then begin to simply lash in a fit of insane determination. I found those moments to be immensely satisfying, and I always wished that such drive was present in more situations than just desperate ones. :P ------ Senior Member & Quartermaster, No Quarter "There is no problem that cannot be solved by the judicious application of violence." |

Well that depends. If my buddy was in the right I'd jump in without hesitation; however, if he started it, and had been a completely ******* ass, then I'd let him take a few shots before pulling his ass out of the fire saying that he'd learnt his lesson and that he deserved it.
Face it, SA messed up huge. In fact, what did they do right?
Btw Cadiz, you're right to include that, I actually forgot about that part when I was writing.

wrong. if your friend was an ass you still kick the sh*t out of the others because it's your friend.
then you can kick the sh*t out of your friend if you want to or just grab a beer and say how cool fighting with him was.
