Hello guys,

I will throw my 2 cents in here X1 terribad FC \o

I was the FC for most of the bash and it was my first time FCing such an op...it's not that tricky every time is it?!?!? :-o

It was difficult really, we knew that the Dust modifier had been swinging thru-ought the day so when the system went vulnerable I chose to build a buffer of Plexes instead of immediately attacking whilst you were out. Perhaps a mistake, in addition before your guys started harassing us we had visitors from Already Disbanded. One of their FC's is an ex Winmatar guy who still holds a grudge and is happy to use his corp mates as a crutch to prop up the Amarr Militia. Whether the Amarr know this or not the effect is the same every I-HUB bash recently we have to see them off or get forced out of the system whilst they bodyguard 24th IC guys to d-plex.

Anyway by the time we had countered them you were back and ready to go, I have to say I'm a bit stunned at how deadly Mystical Might is in that ******** Garmur! Pulling in the region of 8,000 kmps we really couldn't counter it. Then we started having the issue of some Periphery guys trolling us by bodyguarding their 24th IC alts and having them run Plexes. It took me a little bit of time to figure that out as your guys appears to be killing Anarr Militia as well during the bash. Anyway once a plex or two got capped the Dust modifier started swinging and we lost our progress due to the lost buffer.

So then more of your guys started harassing the bash after you logged, anyway we ultimately had to ship up to Cruisers w logi to counter Mysticals Garmur etc which hurt our dps a lot. Anyway your guys got organised and shipped up to counter - breaking our reps etc.

We were still under threat of Dust swinging again and knew someone had an Amarr alt being baby sat running Plexes despite the heroic efforts of our plex runners in frigates. So we had to stay at the hub, anyway whenever we shiped down out came the jury Garmur etc and when're we shipped back up again it was Long Range Cerberuses etc

We knew we were running low on time and then a PY-RE fleet show up and start running the other Plexes with Mystical egging them on in local. After seeing that The Periphery were going to be Plexing themselves and helping a PY-RE fleet plex in the system without interference we called it a night at 2AM.

It did appear that The Periphery were deliberately forming to counter our bash and certainly later on were certainly not engaging the Amarr. It can be a bit frustrating that the ex-Amarr guys give a helping hand to their old comrades whilst the ex-Minnie's either leave the WZ or go full pirate killing indescriminaty.

Anyway I have apologised to my Hoplite comrades for screwing it up and that apology extends to our allies who came and helped. If anyone has any advice as to his to do better next time let me know. I am taking a rest from EVE for a little bit - You Guys have litterally knocked me into a few days from now! Gf to The Periphery I know you are just playing the game. Thanks to Agha and Harkon for taking over at times when I became too unstuck! I will hopefully be back soon, I may even FC again...in a quiet system...without stations....or pirates....on a Timezone where no one is awake! o7
