Post whatever excuses you want - bottom line is you don't want to risk you assets. Fair enough, I don't think anyone blaim you. However stop digging the hole, you're already in, deeper. I don't expect you to admit to anything, just try to look objectively on things and you might realise how stupid you guys look when you keep shouting the same bad excuses.
What excuses? We're essentially saying the same thing as you. If someone comes to us with a credible plan to attack BoB that leaves us with our assets intact, we're all ears. If they come to us asking us to sacrifice our assets for the sake of a few bil or even a few tens of bil, we'll tell them to bugger off. We're not idiots.
Neither are our comments about alts an excuse. Do you realise how many contract offers we get? Far too many for us to ever take on, or even explore fully. Our contract negiators have limited patience and limited time. We have to adopt some rules to sort the wheat from the chaff. Our experience has been that most alts end up being timewasters, and therefore we dont deal with them.

So, would the 'true mercenaries' please stand up?
It can't be us, because we have a business relationship with BoB.
It can't be KIA, because they have a relationship with the Goons.
OO? I know that as CoC they used to have a relationship with Bladerunners and PA. I'm sure they still have people they wouldn't attack. Would Mitch or anyone like to comment?
The point I'm trying to make is that the idea of 'true mercenaries' is a silly one. The current state of the game requires any mercenary who wants to compete toe to toe with alliances to own a large fleet of capitals. Owning and maintaining a large fleet of capitals requires either claiming your own bit of 0.0, or building a relationship with someone who does - both of which seem to disqualify an entity from being 'true mercenaries' in the eyes of the public.

Derailing team in action ? 
We can get back on topic easily enough! How about you tell us who you think the 'true mercenaries' are?

People, who have no stong bounds with any alliance. Ready to strike without "give us plan" or "we are afraid of losing station" at their client will.
Name names.

Don't even bother. A lot of people have made posts like yours and we still get the same thing thrown back - MC need a plan. Yet everytime I ask what exactly kind of plan they expect, I somehow become invisible/ignored 
I replied to you last time, did you miss it?

eh.
plus i remember p.ex for the IAC campaign you left good friends with IAC no? much respect etc "nothing personnal".
but that couldn't be done with BOB?
It might happen with BoB, it might not. Who knows? We like our targets to think that it's nothing personal, but that doesn't always happen. Why should we bother finding out what BoB would do when we have 20 other well-paid contracts that have less potential to cause hassle for us? It's just common sense.

well the other contracts are against alliances wich are much weaker than BOB and wich won't come bother you in your own lands as you have BOB near your house.
But again, understand me well - im seleene's #1 fan same for lots of the MC guys. I'm not here to cause trouble.
You know what im capable of and i'm realy staying civil and constructive without any efforts :)
Thank you for staying civil Omeega. You know we all <3 you (especially Waagaa) :)
As to your first point - yes, we do mostly fight against people weaker than BoB. So do almost everyone in the game (including aAa). It's not always about the biggest challenge all the time, or you'd be fighting BoB right now instead of AXE ;).
