man.. ISS is your primary employer.. in the PM he says MC are cowards and would not fight AAA for love nor money?

Did you even read what one of your ex-Leaders had to say?
I believe he left before you joined for some very specific reasons, which are shockingly similar to what I am saying.
Coincidence? I think not.

Seriously, ISS would not have come into this, and that screenshot would never have been published if Count had not lied about me.

I don't work for ISS, I work for MC, and right now MC isn't working for ISS.
I have acknowledged the screenshot and the contents within. I am well aware that someone's reputation may be in question. What I'm saying is, wait until Count makes a statement before jumping to conclusions. Let the man defend himself before jumping at his throat.

Interesting claim.
We have openly done a lot of work for ISS, sit eggs, latest contract in F4R, etc.
Not that I'm 100% informed, but I think the "single very rich bored player" at least spent as much on us during 2006 than ISS did. ISS are and have been a good customer, but nowhere near our "primary employer". :) -

Mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness. The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifle of stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you.

Oh god, now you're just trolling.
No-one is ridiculing me here. All my points stand, pretty much uncontested and with proof. I've quoted my sources.
You'll notice several people who are NOT MC are actually saying that they like what I'm saying.
I would like to refute every single one of your comments. And would like to point out that I have been doing so since I came into this thread.
About the only thing we can agree on is that MC didn't want to fight AAA, a point which we agreed to on page 8 or so, and has never been in contestation.
Now where is your proof, on issues like say, the non-client in the last IAC contract. A point which pretty much everyone in this thread has been contesting, and in which you havn't brought the slightest shread of evidence for, save for 12 pages of rambling insiting your right.

At this point I would like to offer an IAC perspective.
We're not interested in ButterDog, MC's performance, decisions, tactics whatsoever, that's entirely between ButterDog, ISS and MC.
For IAC, what this 20 page of joy shows blatently to the EVE Community is that Count Tasessine is a liar and two faced operator. Before this entire conflict started, I personally highlighted Count as a deceiptful, disrespectful leader who'd done nothing but sour the ISS/IAC relationship for the past 12 months.
What we see now is, that he will sell himself to his cause and also respective audience no matter what.
What LV and MC did for ISS in the last 3 weeks, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. To be thrown aside, as 'lacking guts' when the force and military organisation ISS actually commands is nothing short of 'meaningless' shows disrespect of the highest order.
If I had come to the aid of ISS (paid or not), I right now would feel cheated and hung out to dry. For ISS' members, its only a matter of time before the same fate becomes of you.
Count, you and your reign as the leader of ISS is now in the firing line of the greater EVE community. Good luck and may you get what you truly deserve.

I suspect you are all being manipulated by IAC/GHSC. Butter Dog, are you really sure the entity you were in contact with was the Count and those hateful evemails were from the MC? And if the were real MC, well then, I think Seleene just found the GHSC operative in MC.

Personally im not at all angered at count. ANy quote taken out of context looks bad.
I doubt count meant offense. Look at the quote I posted above. its pure fact, tbh.
LV and FIX were not paid to be there and had every right to withdraw. they were not cowardly for doing so, as count said. they had something to risk losing to metagame logonski cap gank fleets.
and, as count said (in context) about the MC is 100% true. we arent cowards. we are buisnessmen. Sel is a mercenary captain. To know what that means, you have but to read the machiavelli quote count referenced and which I posted above

TBH I suspect most of the MC won't really care, isk is king.
If those were the true thoughts of Count (and no I'm certainly not calling fake on the screenie, looks fine to me) then there are one or two options open I guess.
1. Never use MC again (you don't use a service in RL if you even suspect you're not going to get what you pay for) but in return if you got a crappy service for your cash you'd be getting onto the boss about a refund, not moaning to your mates down the pub about it. Lets face it, this is a game, I'm certainly not afraid to say what I want, it's not gonna mean bad men on dark nights now is it?
2. Debunk the whole thing, write butter off as a raving loon.
At the end of the day, people still have a choice whatever they think or what someone else would like them to think, some would never hire MC anyway - no loss, some that will would just look at the kinds of post that n sx just wrote (as an opposing entity it should be added) and still hire us anyway - no loss.
Fact is we're very effective at what we do, to deny that in the face of enemy praise is just plain silly, and to call foul on any previous contracts is just disrespecting our contracted enemies.
In fact the whole thread is pretty much win/win and a great community read.

lol @ mc
Your forum skills seem to have weakened considerably.
You failed in your contract objectives to take all three outposts, and your employer was dissapointed. Deal with it. Admit you're scared of AAA. Admit you won't take tough contracts. Admit you are risk averse.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that. Everything I have personally claimed has been done so based on evidence, which I have provided. Thats how my opnion is formed. I didnt just suddenly wake up one day and think 'I hate MC'.
The problem people have is that, in truth, you are simply not as special as you claim to be, you are just very good at spinning events in your favour. You can't lose because you don't accept a contract you MIGHT lose. And even if you do fail, you just publically lie and state the objective was something other than it was.
FACT: You were contracted to take three outposts. When you failed due to your fear of AAA, you then publically claimed, as I did to support you, that F4 was the only objective. You lied. You lied publically for the sake of your image. The truth is you will do pretty much ANYTHING to protect that image of yours, to the detriment of anyone around you.
But now that I know your true colours, now I have seen your chronic lack of nads first hand, I lose all respect that I once held. The catalyst for all of this was one of your members evemailing me and telling me to 'STFU' - just remember that. This isnt some pointless campaign, I'm not one of your victims - I saw what you were like, I flew under your command, I looked at the evidence to hand, and I made the only logical conclusion I could.
No amount of forum spin, PR, or repetitive postings from you which dodge the issues is going to change that.

The right price and a PLAN. No amount of money for a contract would be enough unless it ended with the ultimate destruction of BoB. Otherwise it's nothing to gain, everything to lose. No doubt the ensuing battles would be one hell of a time, though :)

umm your corpmate just said that they would "never attack bob, end of story." So seems pretty straightforward right there

Although I hate to be drawn on this one (it's been covered many times already)
1. Since when did mercs need to be neutral about anything? Did you make that rule up? 2. If you have the isk to cover the costs of the infrastructure/relocation/time and effort and a viable plan I'm sure we'll be on-board You don't do you? 3. We're all BoB alts anyway so you'd be paying us to kill ourselves.

I thought the whole point of mercenaries was that they did what they were paid to do. And thus had no political affiliation. How can you claim to be a mercenary coalition when you're admitting that being hired to fight BOB would be not conducive to your continued existence?
This can be extended to the contract from ISS. You were paid by them, you were hired by them. If you didn't want to do what they wanted you shouldn't have taken their isk, or ratified your contract better. Professionalism at its best tbh.
You take what is offered. And that must sometimes be enough. |

I'm pretty sure there's a recent thread discussing just that. We're not required to take any contract, we can pick and choose. As far as the most recent contract against IAC, Seleene already clarified in an earlier post, as did Count. No further explanation necessary, we're on a new topic now.
