Edited by: Reknaw A''ru on 02/01/2007 20:34:35 I would suggest that those believing ISS to be the peacful entity it claims to be and that Counts original post was one of peace, can I just ask that you remember what Butterdog has said many times. ISS wanted MC to be contracted to take down all of IAC's outposts.
This thread was not started for an offer of peace it was started as a PR stunt, plain and simple. After already recieving a response to the negative in a convo ISS leadership elected to "announce" this offer then add details of a private convo. All in the name of good PR.
Well I'm not buying it, and to me it demonstrates the lengths of deciet(sp?) and manipulation that ISS will go to. Remember, IAC initiated a reset of standings not a full declaration of war.
This gave ISS the perfect oppurtunity (read excuse) to close IAC down for good. They went for it and it looked as though it was going to work for them. Now if they had just left it and gone for shooty-shooty all this may be resolved by now. However their plans of domination has now back fired, they're actually in quite a hole and they know it (even though it appears ISS hold the bargaining chips). They're attempting to back down in a good light, unfortunatley the IAC members realises what ISS are about and that ISS does not want IAC to be their neighbours.
This to me is an intresting conflict, which could either just peter out to nothing or serve as a catalyst to something much more massive. Intresting days and months are ahead for sure.

AAA arrived... MC mysteriously vanished
Hmm ... sure i predicted this in another thread somewhere recently, will have to dig it out later
Enjoy Spanking ISS please.
I assume that RA/Goon joining up with IAC/AAA(/KIA?) would be most agreeable also!

MC can't stand up to AAA. They would be WTFBBQ'ed if they went head to head. AAA can bring as large a capital fleet as the MC. More importanly, AAA could bring a competent fleet to actually support their capitals couse of their numbers advantage.
Tbh, I dont think AAA fears MC in the slightest
ISS will be overrun soon enough, shareholders or no shareholders..

Is this what IAC leaders are telling their members now?
IAC didn't just reset standings
IAC INVADED ISS OUTPOST SYSTEMS WITH A LARGE FLEET.
Beyond that, they threatened ISS stations. It was IAC who started the war and it was IAC who put POS fighting on the agenda. To say anything else is a lie.
But we've seen plenty of lies from IAC. Their leadership is, to put it politely, erratic.
It's clear from their insulting and juvenile response to the OP that IAC leadership intended to conquer ISS outposts all along if they could, and simply lied about that here and to their own members.

Originally by: Nez Perces This is a very strange post by ISS.
Don't these kind of 'genuine' offers take place behind closed doors?.. you know between the movers and shakers away from the prying eyes of a ravenous EVE-O public?
Lets call this out as what it is...
ISS want to make an offer publicly.. that on the surface of it seems acceptable. Only ISS really suspect IAC will not take it.. or else it would have been offered in private or already has been?
IAC then have to explain to the rest of EVE, why they didnt take such a 'nice' offer.
This is an e-peen post.. make no mistake about it. Who's e-peen is bigger ISS' or IAC's?
We shall see.
Having read all 9 pages, this pretty much sums up the gist of it.
So ISS made an public offer for everyone in the EVE Community to read about it, and IAC have come out and publicly denounced the offer and said that they wish to continue fighting.
Seems to me like there isn't much else to discuss.

Originally by: Ranura Eynara AAA arrived... MC mysteriously vanished
Those that are saying that we moved out or mysteriously vanished the moment AAA moved their cap ships into the area are completely and utterly wrong. We remained in and around F4R well over a week after AAA logged their cap ships in that area.
Why do people like you and Butter Dog just make these things up and then state them as fact? Having an opinion (whether it be based in fact or not) is one thing. What actually happened is another thing entirely.

IAC INVADED ISS OUTPOST SYSTEMS WITH A LARGE FLEET.
Please, before saying something wrong check the history of the affair.
We entered ZXIC 5-10 minutes after the announcement of hostilities. We entered with 30-40 people. We entered in FRIGS, now I know IAC doesn't hold much of an image as a pvp alliance but surely we are not so stupid as to siege an outpost system with t1 and t2 frigs.
We only entered the system with Battleships after ISS showed their willingness to fight, so we obliged, grabbed our BS from next door, and proceeded to have a good ol' slug fest on the KDF gate in ZXIC.
After the fight was over, we voluntarily left system. We did not camp your gates, we went back to F4. The next day saw much of the same.
This is not meant to be a whining, "omg we were wronged" post. It is however enough in my eyes to make you shut up, and if thats all this accomplishes then I, have won the forums.

After ISS's wonderful response to a question I had about lost ships plan on see'ing me up there blowing the heck out of them as well. This is my thoughts and not alliances, but I am sure some of the alliance will follow up there with me.

If you're referring to the ones from the FIX outpost conflict, they haven't all been moved over from our old killboard yet. We're missing quite a few kills as well as losses. ----------------------------------------

You, the official spokesman and declarer of war for IAC stated
Just to clarify a few things for our members and others. We are not at this moment actively engageing ISS's stations or POS's.
More fights like the one we ad to day are what we seek, though time will only tell who will own what station when.
That was on the 11th. Check when MC arrived.

Anyone saying otherwise is guessing... because they know nothing of what actually took place. Period.
We did not bring a cap fleet.

If IAC's allies are going to use their capitals to attack ISS POSes, why have they not done so already?
I think the answer to that is that IAC is not of sufficent value to expose a capital fleet to potential heavy losses.
If IAC's allies won't use their capitals to attack ISS POSes, and IAC does not have enough capitals to do it themselves... What reason short of absolute and utter suicidal stupidity do they have for not taking the peace offer?
My opinion is that the only thing IAC gets by prolonging the war is an invitation for disaster to strike them. As soon as AAA has their attention drawn elsewhere for even a nano-second, MC will attack and IAC will be dead and the war will be old news.
Thumbing your nose at a stayed headsman while you dance under his axe is pure foolishness in my opinion.

I'm sorry, but who are you?
I don't see anything resembling ISS or IAC in your alliance ticker. Oh, thats right. Your one of One of these people.
The reasons for not stageing attacks on ISS POS's are our own. Rome wasn't built in a day you know.

Back on topic, I can understand why IAC wouldnt want to take the 'peace offer'. At the end of the day its just as much of a statement by ISS that they are the ones in the position to negotiate as it is an actual peace offer.
I'd Like to know what IAC would accept as terms for peace, although im not naive enough to think they would disclose it to everyone on these forums.
Taking the offer, to me would be perceived as loosing. A more acceptable offer would have been if neither side had anything to bargain with at all, and it was just a 'cant we all just get along' style offer.
At the end of the day ISS has the most to loose from all of this, if they were to actually loose a station, then the change in the way potential investors viewed the level of risk involved with any new IPO could have far reaching consequences.
Its in ISS's intrests to either make peace, or to make a decisive effort to get rid of any and all of IAC. Justnow the market probably looks like its doing better than ever, but I would suggest thats just through people replacing losses etc. What happens once they can no longer afford to do so?
And if people beleive that IAC dont have the ability to actually comitt capital ships to this fight, then was there any reason to fear them taking ISS stations in the first place? Having regular, fun fights on your doorstep, when you reap the benefits from increased market activity sounded like a manageble situation to me.

I, for one, would like to hear about this alleged "bad treatment" of IAC by the ISS.
From where I stand, IAC is simply refusing to bend their pride after losing a war they started. Past grievances keep being brought up, but not elaborated on. ------------------------------------------- "Sarcasm and irony are not to be used by the uninitiated."

There's 2 options;
- shoot stuff till your eyes bleed and one of the 2 will be crying, where (as it stands) it will be IAC who is doing the crying. - come to the conclusion that things might look good from a pewpew point of view, but are looking rather bad from an alliance/outpost point of view so accept this as a fact, take the epeen shrinkage with some pride and negotiate a peace which will actually ensure IAC keeps in business.
As it is right now there's a lot of whining, he said/she said and people going to great lengths to keept this war fueled for their own fun/reasons. The less PVP minded IAC aren't happy and get the shaft from the more PVP minded in their alliance.
IAC started it, IAC was purposely (perhaps in jeste, but some things you shouldn't do in jeste, it's a bad business decision and I'd hope alliance leaders/spokesmen would understand that little fact) vague about it being an outpost war or not. Right now things aren't looking so hot for IAC and the whining and pointing fingers to others it just embarassing.
Accept the fact that you misjudged the situation and take it like a man (but make sure the MGRL isn't in system), prolonging things won't be in either's interest but IAC doesn't even have a pair while ISS holds a flush. Either call and hope to bluff or fold.
