BUMP--- I was only in eve for a 6 months before Privateers- and there is plenty I havent appempted yet. But its the most fun I've found so far. LOVING IT.
The cost of a war to get us off your back is cheap imo. And I imagine it would be limited at some point, - so those wise allainces with some forsight might be stacking up a few months worth of decs before limitations are imposed.

Effective...hurmmm.. its not very cleary defind word in my head.
If you had a grduge with a single pilot - paid us to dec his whole allaince..and he got shot and podded. then it was effective and money well spent.
If you had a grudge agaisnt a corp, paid the 50m cost and we totalled a few of their HACs and BS.S podded a few folk here and there - your down 50M and they are down 500m. thats effective in my book.
IF we engage, and they have superior numbers we loose ships, they dont, you only loose 50m and IF we didnt pod a single pilot. it might seem uneffective BUT if one of our pilots takes a disliking to them and we carry on the war due to a Grudge request from our forums -- then it could cause some long term pain to the "offending" corp, and you then win. 
Yeah, I'd say Privateers has scope to be a very effective force for that parley some of isk. I dont think the effectivness of the War should even be considerd, just who you want us to shoot - and when do we start?

Originally by: Surreptitious
Originally by: Abyssal Angel I wholeheartedly like your concept, especially the part about fighting for war dec costs.
Would be fun to wardec ones own corp from a noob :)
Do you also do "racial" jobs? As in killing only caldari pilots, if so I'd really consider it, as I loathe the missile spewing trash.
<==== Gallente trapped in a CAldari body.
Of course we would do racial warfare. We are rp'ing this privateer concept so why not got involved in that area as well.
Syrup
LOL - Dont forget to send me the evemail about which corps Gal, Mimi and Amarr pilots we cant shoot. Rright Click and info every target will make me cry. How about I give a whole hearted appology if I "my finger slips"?

lol - maybe -- when we have 27 active wars it doesnt feel like we are issuing pilots with letters of marquee anymore.. it feels like we are handing out pirate flags lol.. every1 is fair game
Yarrr.. for the 07 bump

Its pilot preference dude.... some will gank the haulers and dodge the combat ships - some will take 3v1 odds and come out on top, your "hunting" the wrong people while (I presume as you haven posted your main - pls do) are causing damage to your group elsewhere.
Spend the ISK, use the locator agents - and look me up. dont forget to insure your ship too Or post with your main and let me spend the ISK - your surving mods better cover my cost though, or I will get the war funded myself untill my ISK is up

Originally by: necronarcosis Edited by: necronarcosis on 16/01/2007 20:15:51 i wouldnt hire you to dec a mining corp, what ive seen of your pvp prowess is franky pathetic. please come with more give us a fight make me lose ships it will be better than seeing you all hightale it every time were out and about, if you gonna dec us at least make it worthwhile us actualy taking you seriously.
We would of taken your Vaga last night if you (and your 2 other HACS and BS (Egale and Vaga phoon) had engaged our Vindi, Phoon and Drake. As it turns out after speed run games of cat and mouse Sadao caught your phoon pilot and you guys failed to help. POP. you guys are missing some faction mods eh? What the numbers like when you got the Raven?
I can appriacte your over willingness to leave system when another 3 BC's showed up to join us. I would have done the same at that point. BUT that being said:
Please edit your post to say. "i would hire you to dec a merc corp, what ive seen of your pvp prowess is franky pathetic - but as it was only in the rear view mirror of my vaga my opinion might not be accurate. please come with quicker ships and make me a engage when we have superior numbers - make me lose ships it will be better than seeing you all dissapear in my rear view mirror, if you gonna dec us at least make it worthwhile us actualy taking you seriously. omg" 
It was a smack free fight - but you guys could of saved Your phoon pilot from the loss if you had helped him.
See you guys in space eh

i didnt know the details for the Raven fight, nice tanking btw.
And it was a fun evening- I didnt do much tbh, just soaked up a few early hits. but it was a good fight - tried to give a warp point while sitting cloaked @200 a few times you very nearly passed at a valid warp point while checking us out in your vaga :)
See you guys again.
Good hunting.

Originally by: sariss Sorted.......mind posting your losses?
yes.
I mind posting my kills too...
I dont play to get ranked on a ladder - and i dont think its wise to give out my ship type/setups and locations.
On a note to that EOS pilot....I dont even remember seeing you. If it was the same day as the Vaga/phoon fights, then I was heading back to a busier hub before logging. and if I had seen you I would have been entering/leaving a gate - if you cant force an engagement its your problem. I wouldnt willingly engage an EOS and Ab with a drake and a Vindi. (especialy as it wasnt mine)

Then it will upset you to know that your losses can be found on our alliance board and about 60 other alliance boards that you have decced
No - not at all. I just dont intend to give the info out freely. And if I do decide to post again I will post kills and losses. btw, I still use the KB's to get intel on other pilots.

Originally by: Taurequis Edited by: Taurequis on 20/01/2007 22:19:42 Hi,
Surely with a flat fee of 50 mil a week to have your enemy wardec'ed the losses that PA take and post are irrelevant to the employer.
All i'd want to see for my 50 mil was an equivalant or more amount of damage or some indication of worth-while disruption to the target in the week period.
I really doubt you could hire any merc corp for 50 mil. It would hardly even cover the ammo costs for a more specific op. So why bother making the comparison.
Taur
Valid points, but I thnk the above poster (above you) would argue that if we shoot 3 BS's and give the enemy 40 kills on us then they are in profit. The killboards of the target alliance are usualy more accurate than ours (but rarley 100%), so I would look to that for effectivness, barwing in mind our fly cheap fly often reccommendations for out pilots. Some allainces come out on top, some dont - It does vary and they have to nab some nice mods from our wrecks to ofset their t2 ship losses.
However that being said - it makes empire life very difficult for alot of empire pilots, even if their alliance gets the upperhand on us. I have seen Privs pilots take a grudge from some of our WT and extend wars to exact revenage, so 50M in some cases can go along way.
at the end of the day though, its only 50m.

Originally by: Ffaide
And as far as the losses are concerned, it is an entirely relevant statistic. If your agent losses a significantly greater number of ships than your enemy, then all you are doing is paying a 50 million isk share towards increasing your enemies enjoyment of the conflict, boosting his morale and steeling his resolve. Which to me seems an entirely counter productive way to deplete your wallet. But, its a free cluster (mostly), and you are free to spend your isk in the manner that seems most beneficial to you.
IF -
I'm some cases this might be true, in many more its not. And lining the pockets of the targets PVP pilots will still not benefit the carebear types of the same allaince. I would look on it on a case by case basis.
But yes, our lack of promises and focus is not for every shopper. But getting the Privateer war Dec in the mail can upset alot of people in an alliance.

Originally by: Xeaon Why so much hate for privateer alliance?
I'm my opnion and not the allainces its because of:
The m0o post stired up some mob mentaility and alot of people jumped on the flame wagon and havent got off it yet. While it wasnt from Privateer officials it seemed to be taken as such.
Poor understanding of other hostiles: We have 65 active wars, and while you may be camping one of our pilots flying a Bs' in your Bs' you failed to notice the other 2 camps outside the same station wanting to kill said pilot.
Poor understanding of the stlye of the allaince: Why dont you come to 0.0 like real men. - Errrmm Empire PVP?
Misconceptions and no research: You only gank haulers in jita seems to be a common post. This leads to "you call your self a pvp corp - your nothing but greifers" with still no further research onto the % of haulers shot over PVP ships.
OMG you shot my hauler. Well we did, amoung other ships. and we'll do it again.
And with standard mob mentaility - one flame usualy leads to a few dozen more.
all that on top of the fact that every member has joined Privateers to shoot other people for fun. Empire Pirates/Privateers realy - but that was the idea from the start IFAIK.
Like I said - personal opinions --- but thats why I think we cop so much flak.

Originally by: zykerx i wonder how many afk haulers ya guys get to kill. im always amazed how many people dont pay any attention to whats gooing on in there alliance and then boom,
I don't hang in the hubs (Jita, Ours, Rens, etc) and can only speak for myself and have only run into two AFK boats the whole time I have been in the Privateers. One Hoarder, and (beleive it or not) a Hyperion. Of course the Hyperion woke up after a minute but he still died.
I have had dozens of AFK haulers I lub them. I also had an AFK command ship - that was nice too, although I was cautious about engaging as what the hell kinda pvp pilot would fly a command ship solo, AFK & empire while at war with a substainial empire war Alliance - TBH I thought he was baiting me - but nope... and POP.. I love it

Originally by: Neuraxis Aeon Just a side joke. I would be funny if a corp anonymously paid you to attack them so they could collect your kills and loot?
We have so many wars that its expensive for someone to Dec us. I bet someone wanting to shoot us as already hired us to shoot them instead lol. but it makes no difference to us, so long as they pay the fees i'm happy

Originally by: Sapphrine Must admit i was suprised at how fast you pulled your war dec on U'K. I mean really, whoever was paying must be laughing. They paid 50m and you war dec'd for 2 days then stopped then 7 days then stopped (roughly). In that time you took around 4:1 losses allowing for us losing haulers and almost all of the damage you caused was recovered in loot from the field :)
Do you only honour contracts when you feel you can win or do you accept them and just quietly shuffle them off the books when they don't work out as planned?
I dont believe it was a contract, I beleive it was retracted for reasons neither you nor I am privvy too. It certainly wasnt due to the losses on our side. The admin team doesnt feel any pain from our pilots losses, 1 pilots loss doesnt effect the rest of the corp at all either. It was definatly "something" else.

Originally by: BoBoZoBo So basically, pay us to do nothing because we wont actively do anything to forward your policy or objectives.
Awww.. Bozos upset?.. did we shoot you a few times? .. /me checks the boards..
LOL WE DID!
And we do on average 20 Billion in damages a day...spread accross the wars.
No we wont actively persue your objectives and goals. thats for you to do. Read the OP.
If you spent less time whining on the forums and more time in Eve you might be get a bit further in the game dude, stop posting crap in P.A threads coz you cant handle empire.

I know you dont get it, most of you PA guys have a problem missing the point, but there are 2 actually:
1) Your kill-board is inaccurate 2) The (real) kill ratio does not negate the fact you guys are still ****ers.
For the rest, if your are that curious... then go read the link i sent ya.
1)Our boards are inacurate yes, It does not dismiss your losses shown there. Some of our pilots dont post losses, I dont post either. WE have no rules for it, does YOUR allaince? 2) sad....go cry on ya mams sholder..
Cant wait to pod you myself.

Would you be willing to war an individual corporation with no alliance for the cost of the war?
Yes, the cost would be 50M/Week if they have no other wars
Is there any guarantee you would actively pursue them?
None
Would you send someone (if available of course) to attack them if I reported their locations?
No, but I would send out an allaince mail to inform everyone.
I'm an ore thief, and I run into foul mouthed high security miner corps frequently. It would be nice if I could just pay you for the war, and then report their location when I run into them.
Dont see any reason why not
Contact me if your interested. (I would leave it till Friday though, we are having a war party atm and have 150+ wars)

HAHAHAHAHA Ahhhh.. Im just having fun with you Sorted. I know you were in Hek, I passed you about 6 times while I was running around in my shuttle.
And How is a charachter from '03 (me), a nub compared to a charachter from '06 (you) LOL Man, you could realy take a lesson from some of your alliance members.. they are MUCH more fun. Your WAAAAY to wound up.
I like yout killmail better.. "Ibis of Doom".. "Basic Fake mail posting".. that is spectacular!
But really I would not lean on your killboards as a base for argument, you guys are missing quite a bit... very convenient... at least I dont post my lies as official kills.
heh, I dont post on the KBs at all - and its damage on the boards used as reference, which @ about 20Billion a day its not to be sneezed at - its not like we have Cap ships to shoot at.
And I only post while i'm in work - so yeah - usualy over stressed.
And I have met a huge number of Nubs with a long play time in Eve, some people just never learn. I meet plenty of old idiots in RL too , age does not dictate skill.

EDIT>> Yeah, Maybe I over react too much -- I'm much happier shooting people in game than posting on the boards
