Originally by: Smoking Mirror Actually "market pvp" WAS cited
Since no one has pointed this out:
Prices were and are consistently better at the IAC stations across the board on all products, modules, and ships. Availability was better too... so if there was any "market pvp" they were winning it.
Beleive me I shopped there all the time.
I believe some annoyances were over ISS people being *****s on our market. You know, 1m isk shuttles, mineral sell traps, etc. But don't take my word for it; I'm not "in the know" when it comes to our carebearing stuffs. ----

I agree thats annoying, and people do it, and theres really nothing you can do to stop people doing it (as they can just use a trade alt).
But is that really a good reason to go to war? I think we both know its not.

Interesting post, Eddz.
My advice? Find two people in IAC who can make a decision. Count and another ISS person get with them on TS and talk very blunty about options. So long as no one lets their egos get in the way, I'd be willing to bet they could solve this whole thing in 10 mintues and come up with a solution that actually works. -

Why should IAC call this whole shebang off now? Seems to me they have plenty to gain from the conflict now that the situation has changed.

Better yet, having 2 CEO's of enemy corporations (MC + KIA) ask for a peace-deal can easily be interpreted as a sign of weakness by IAC.

Unless you can take back the station very quickly, then you are going to regret saying that.

No, but prolonged activity of that kind is what gets people ****ed off enough that when the vote FOR war finally comes along, they press "YARR" and jump into their battleships marked for pwn.
This war was, at least in part, brought on by a whole lot of "little" things, things that by themselves were not sufficient casus belli, but together made alot of IAC grind their teeth. ----

for mercenaries who supposably get "paid" to go to war (i know it's silly to assume mc are true mercs but whatev i'll roll with it) you guys are sure asking for your business to dry up. Peace is for the weak, i know mc are missing their roids but seriously this isn't the north. We handle our problems like men, by shoving a gun down your opponents throat and blowing his insides against the wall.

Originally by: Smoking Mirror IAC didn't give up. They got beaten. Their invasion of ISS space was repelled in under two days.
If IAC persists in this kind of Alliance-level suicide, expect more of the same. Seriously, are there any grownups left over there to even talk to?
Make your deal and end this foolishness.
Invasions start with poses, not gank squads. Does this mean that SoD have been invading ISS space for the best part of a year? Sure, they were put on the back foot when 5+ alliances decided to blob their closest outpost; name an alliance that WOULDNT. As for MC / ISS attacking the other systems, I think you'll find all posses that were placed into reinforced have come out and been boosted back above 50% shields, leaving the systems secure. Since LV (at least) has pulled back, the numbers are slightly fairer towards IAC now especially with their new allies.
Interesting how the pleas for a deal to be made come at the same time as it starts looking a little better for IAC 
As for -A-... they'd probably be much better neighbors than ISS ever were 
As for alliance level suicide, this has been discussed before. The majority of IAC (as far as I know) stand behind the decisions of their leaders, and are having fun (should be having more of it now the numbers are better).
funny you guys keep saying that. you attacked on a monday. This was because you wanted to gain control of the pipeline by thursday when you began moving pos into zxic.
You dont shoot pos on mondays. you want them to come out of reinforced on the weekend, so you shoot them thursday evening/friday morning. You dont try to place your own pos in a system writhing with hostile enemy and fighter drones. You subdue them first, keep them from undocking, and the put up POS unapposed. just good tactical sense.
whether this was what you were planning or not, a smart tactician would do exactly this, and thus why count asked your intentions I bet. by not answering definitively, but rather in a vague fashion which easily SEEMS to indicate a strike on ISS stations, you have dug your own grave, so to speak. Additionally, your common membership (all of them) were all making comments about iac taking iss stations frm them, expansion, and new names for the iss stations. Obviously, anyone who ignores such blatent threats from an enemy based 1j away, would be an ostrich sticking its head in the sand.

Originally by: Miss Overlord this is really an interesting one wonder where CVA and a couple of others sit as wel
CVA is not directly involved in this conflict. We are involved in as much as we are at war (for over three years now) with the Minmatar terrorist Ushra'Khan alliance who have given ISS support - but as it stands ISS remains neutral to us.
Funny thing is since this conflict started we have had VETO in R3 shooting us (albeit only once), LV has also popped in and shot at us with with a mothership (albeit briefly) and MC helped the Minmatars recharge the shields of a terrorist POS we had put into reinforced. Hwever, on the other side of the coin AAA (IAC's new ally or maybe it's better to say ISS's new enemy) has been pirating in our space today killing some CVA and neutrals (and being killed in return)...
Interesting times
Any peace agreement is down to IAC/ISS to negotiate. With my personal (non-CVA hat) on I would suggest that this is something both sides could consider.
We know IAC and they will not backdown even if their Outposts are removed. While ISS can always pay enough people to defend their Outposts they cannot protect all their 'average' playerbase in 0.0 and particularly in Empire.
When CVA declared war on ISS a few months back for planning to put an Outpost in our claimed space we killed a huge amount (over 100) ISS ships (mainly in Empire) with minimal losses (under a handful). A protracted war would not be good for business and therefore not good for ISS. They need an exit strategy and simply taking IAC's Outposts doesn't provide them with one - in fact it just gives IAC more reasons to continue attacking them.
On the other hand IAC have also lost a lot in this conflict and could lose a lot more. I don't doubt that IAC have the fanaticism to continue to shoot ISS even if they lose their Outposts - but it will be a high cost to pay.
Personally, and again I must stress I am not talking for the CVA, I would suggest that ISS would be wise to come to some agreement with IAC and that IAC should consider any such proposal carefully...

Edited by: Del369 on 23/12/2006 11:48:02 about the market pvp, shuttles for a mil thing, if you dont want something scrutinized you shouldnt have gone down that route any way, besides i remember shuttles on sale for a "lot" and it wasn't iss selling them, it wasnt me either, but i know who it was, and all i can say there is nuff said i can understand why the bad feeling came about, as someone said in a different thread, "it all started with a little seed planted 8 (?) months ago that has now blossomed into a beautiful flower" right Raid ?

Bingo Hardin, you've hit the nail on the head. I was going to say something similar towards iss a few days ago, but everyone has been so busy strutting round like pea****s dripping all those male ego's all over the place, it's enough to make my inner ***** spin in her grave i tell ya eeuuuww  it's kinda ironic how fast the tables can turn though eh. and iac werent going for the stations, but now ? who knows. i dont think its nesassarily the wisest thing they can do, but just like the count wanted iac grovelling in the gimp mask, maybe its time he considered a bit of grovelling to iac to resolve the situation. i mean you can ramble on about this forever, but the ultimate question is, does either side posess the maturity to resolve this conflict amicably for both sides ? my inner lezbo has some serious doubts

Originally by: Hardin Personally, and again I must stress I am not talking for the CVA, I would suggest that ISS would be wise to come to some agreement with IAC and that IAC should consider any such proposal carefully...
What started as a little good old-fashioned 'pew pew' from IAC's side, has turned into a war of extermination by ISS. Their first "peace proposal" (the hand over of all IAC outposts to ISS and the removal of our entire fleet to some distant & harmless location in space ) revealed that they were in it to destroy us permanently. So we're basically fighting for survival here.
Of course now that the situation has changed, ISS (i.e. Butter Dog and other propagandists) are trying to put a different spin on it, as if they we're only after F4. However from where I'm standing it seems we ain't buying that. We know what this war is about. And it looks to me like a very large fraction of IAC are prepared to wage this war a very, very long time.
I mean I sure don't play EVE to make isk, I play it for fun. And a long lasting war (maybe six months, maybe more) with a neighbor like ISS sounds like a lot of fun. Nothing personal here, it's just good times ahead. 
However if ISS - as a profit based industrial alliance, that's all about making money - isn't looking for a war of attrition, they should make us a peace proposal that is a) something that IAC might actually accept and b) so generous, that it could restore the good will between our two alliances. They way things are going, I'm quite sceptic though. ISS has been bragging about their deep pockets and how they can easily afford to hire MC and other merc corps for months on end. I guess now it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
Anyway, no matter how things turn out, I'm 100% honoured to fly under IAC colors (amazing bunch of people). And I could not care less "who started it"...

Whats changed, exactly?
They lost an outpost.
AAA turned up wanting to fight MC/LV cap fleet head on. When that didnt happen, AAA logged back in the next day and left. They were looking for a fight.
IAC are weaker now than when the war started, I don't think anyone is denying that. They've lost a lot of credibility too, and even old allies like No Quarter are saying they don't want anything to do with them now.

It (among other things) is what caused Huzzah to pull ISS' blue standings a long while ago, ISS are ****ty ****ty neighbours ISS basically have/had 3 main neighbours in catch: HF, IAC and CVA ALL of these entities have at some point pulled blue standings and in the case of IAC and CVA have had an all out POS war (although CVA vs ISS was very brief), i suspect the only reason huzzah didnt set ISS red is because we had quite enough reds back then although there was still a lot of support for making ISS red rather than just neutral and not letting them in our space 
At least with neighbours like FIX and AAA you know where you stand, not so with ISS
