Tyyrax how about you bring 100 that gives you 2 versus 1 over MCFix. That should be a good fight and you still have odds in your favor. 300 is just ridiculous and I think most will agree. The Eve servers cant handle that. So lets be bigger and honorable men and fight within the constraints of the server.
You guys started this fight and now we're merely defending ourselves with the help of our friends.
We would love to drop a dread fleet the size of yours in there but frankly we just don't have the resources.
You guys have your high member logged in count, and now we have ours. We didn't cry about you being 'unfair' or 'un-manly' for doing so.
The fact that we've now been officially asked by a GM to reduce shooting at a Outpost to regain it's control is a little upsetting. We came to counter you, and we can't even do that

I agree entirely that we don't all want to sit at login screens.
The fact is though, essentially what you're saying is that because we dont have the same resources as you and the server can't hand what we've been able to muster, we are unable to defend ourselves, and thus should just handover our outpost.
It's the same as me saying sure, bring in 22 dreads .... and we will bring in 100 ships.

Hello to all.
A little update, IAC's retaken control of the outpost and 'The Distillery' is serving beer and spirits again!
We've taken a snignificant number of losses, but we are having a great time.
To clarify for the MC's, you were blue and your op in our space was less than 2 weeks ago. Blue standings were requested and I personally obliged. I even ensured you had outpost access. That said, its water under the bridge and everyone should just move on :).
In regards to the fighting, we're having an awesome time and being taught some serious lessons. MC is an amazing opponent and FIX are fighting well along side them. We do have the utmost respect for our opponents and cherish this opportunity to work closely with our alliance pilots. You couldn't ask for a better team building excercise  . We are also truly enjoying the opportunity to fly with longtime allies and also old hostile targets.
I apologise in advance for any IAC pilots yelling and screaming in local, its against our policies but sometimes people get a little emotional. In the same sense we would expect our enemies to be the same. On the whole we're a fun bunch who enjoy some friendly chat too :). Pew pew!
To clarify the whole CVA/Pirate thing, being long time friends we were completely aware of CVA's anti-pirate stance and we consulted them before proceeding with accepting support. They said it was our space and our decision, we thank them for that. The support from 'pirates' have been offered to us and we expect that all may ask for negative standings to be resumed but we truly thank them for their support thus far.
CVA, and all other pilots that have joined us in this engagement and have abided by IAC's rules of NRDS. That said, this is a warzone and I would truly suggest neutrals stay out of the way :).
MC and FIX .... we look forward to the next chapter!

To be fair, most of our kills in the last 48 hours have been while we've been significantly outnumbered in local and engaging numerically superior IAC-allied forces over and over again. These aren't solo ganks, not even close to it. There have been numerous small scale fleet actions with little to no lag.
Maybe you're just on the wrong sleep schedule? 
Agreed ..... the difference in skillpoint focus is pretty evident with your smaller fleets attacking. In most instances IAC ships can't even target you! The MC skillpoint factor is so different in fact that the absolute majority of our kills are FIX (if any MC at all)? Seleene, I wouldn't be crying fowl for being outnumbered given that fewer in our gang can actually target you guys than you have in your gangs.
That said, even if outnumbered you've never sat still, and always kept us on our toes.
This isn't an excuse, it's merely an observation and one that shows the dedication and focus of MC's pilots and their career. We just need to deal with it .....

I suggest you read Seleene's post again, three times if necessary. We're happy to be outnumbered - nobody is "crying fowl[sic]" except FPC, and nobody is crying foul either.
So come one, come all, bring another alliance or two into the fray and play "make the Merc's pay!" We're all too happy to get a good fight.... seriously. 
Apologies, rather than crying foul, I should say chest beating?

I managed to unchain myself from the dread last night and head down to G-7W in a Rifter for the first time since the contract started and I have to say it's been an absolute blast.
It's been a long time since MC's targets have actually 'brought it' in a significant way and with this contract and the resolution of the recent Unity contract, I'm starting to feel spoiled for pvp action.
IAC are at all times professional and courteous and have been making plenty of attempts to engage us. As Sel says, this is your land and you're fighting for it, rest assured that this sort of defiant attitude has garnered great respect for IAC.
Good show to all and I look forwards to more intense fighting.
It's great to hear such feedback from our current opponents. Thank-you.
I am glad that we're also all having fun :).
