Aladar, Here's the story.
Earlier in the day, we opened up into Jaded's wormhole. They had a few guys online and we had a few guys online. After a bit of coaxing, Jaded began to play. Then suddenly, out of-the-blue, a legion warped to 50 and proceeded to burn for the WH we were waiting on. By the time it jumped through the hole it was fully nueted out and bleeding plenty of armor. It held it's cloak on the other side, then jumped back into its own WH. This is when a Falcon and some other ship (stealth bomber?) de-cloaked to support their Legion. Unfortunately for them, we made quick work of the Legion and forced the other 2 ships off-grid.
Why would a Legion burn through a small fleet and through an Armageddon's nuets, only to sacrifice themselves? The easy answer is they had a bigger plan, but that plan fell through. Our small group soon realized through the local smack-talking that they didn't have a plan at all... so Blue-Fire turned it's attention to WH's further down the pipe.
An hour and a half later, one of our Sabre pilots lost their ship, third-party style, to Jaded.
Believing that we were going to get a fight, one of our pilots was speaking with Audi in local-chat, and at some point during the local smack, Audi suggested that the best way to get a fight was to put up a tower in their hole. It could have been that our guy could've helped with that suggestion, but regardless, the challenge was accepted by our content-generating pilot. And the first-steps of planting a tower was initiated in the hopes for good-fights.
After a bit of trash-talking in local-chat, some Jaded corpies began bitching at themselves, and then Jaded slowly became an WH of activity. Over the course of the next couple of hours, they had logged in 4 Capitals, 9 T3's, and roughly a mix of 6 BS+BC, and a few tackle along with at least 3 scouts. Blue-Fire had a fleet of 6 Ishtars and logi. We also learned that they had the bat-phones out to all of their contacts (without even a semi-engagement) and assumed that someone had accepted the call. When our spy network confirmed that the bat-phone call was accepted, we figured that we'd soon be up against a fleet that would easily out-match ours.
As a bit more time ticked on Jaded had 7 Capitals, more T3's, roughly the same BS+SC, and a significant increase in tackle ships, Yet their fleet was still unwilling to tangle, they were still obviously waiting on their bat-phone fleet to arrive. This is when we realized that we were not going to get a fight without being out-manned 3-1. Then one of our WH connections became reduced. Which happened to connect to one of our exiled members. So our fleet gave up the ploy and proceed to change over to a "Bring in a Capital" operation.
When Jaded noticed that our fleet left. They brought a small fleet to guard one of their exits. And that is when one of our scouts decided to have fun with them and preformed a "Rooks and Kings" maneuver while they were bashing the POS we left behind.
Just keep in mind how long this recollection of events spanned. This literally was an all-day event. And even take into account the "ramp-up" time when things started to get serious, their "ramp-up" spanned the course of 3+ hours. |
