i agree with the OP we can post what we want regarding topics of on topic ness.
the MOO topic is about our fast becoming like the early moo ( it will take us several months of growth but the anarchic nature is there to make it work) already plans are underway to expand 0.0 and low sec wt chasing but retaining mass murder within empire of juicy war targets.
with pirate coalation having a decline in its impact we are picking up many small to medium pirate and PVP corps who having been hit slightly with wtz changes are now realising that war decs are a interesting and potentially profitable idea
They pay for 1 dec a week i think this is added to the overall pool of privateer decs.
my bio has been changed to reflect all posts are my opinion views etc etc and not that of any organise or disorganised so called rabble that might exist over here at PA
All posts made by myself represent my personal opinion only - they do not represent the rest of the privateer alliacne unless they decide to agree with what im saying

Which bit of anarchy do you not understand?
I don't care whether he writes a post claim us to be the new BoB, a banana or small fish called Wanda!
If we aren't true to our anarchist values what are we? Another bunch of authoritarians, spin doctors and politicians. Thats what we offer to our comrades

Your members are fast KILLING your reputation.
If your reputation means absolutely nothing to you, then you have nothing to worry about, if it does I suggest your members start considering the ridiculous "we are the new Moo" or "you are log on trappiing us in Jita" style posts very soon.
Your fast becoming a large joke, and you have quality pilots and good corps in you, you should be building a fearsome reputation instead.

Fair enough that you let your members do whatever they want - but just from scanning ollo's posts today I've seen that people have complained to ISD about recruitment spam, been put off joining your alliance and taken the view that you're a bunch of deluded *****pots. Maybe this has come from one person and shouldn't reflect on the entire alliance - but it does.

I think we've realised that your alliance has no policy for the Eve-o forums. It's easy to understand by reading the posts of some of your members.
However invariably, no matter what you say, anyone bearing the Privateers tag under the portrait will effect the reputation of their alliance with their comments. It doesn't matter if in your sig you say 'These are the opinions of me and not my alliance'. When someone posts something, you immediately check what corp/alliance they're in and subconsciously or consciously you invariably start forming an opinion on the alliance.
Afterall, if it's not the members and their opinions that make up the alliance, what does?

You DO have a policy for these forums: acting like tards in every thread, making ridiculous claims and providing spam.
You DO have a spokesman on these forums, whether you like it or not. His Name is Ollo, he's a complete yokel and you associate yourself with this. Him = you. The end.

who cares? I mean really. If you want to act like retards in every thread, I think you should. ISD will take care of people abusing the rules. And who really cares about what people say or think about you? I think it's hilarious watching all these big alliances get so mad at you guys over forum drama.
At the end of the day all that really matters is how many you have killed and how many losses you have incurred. ----------------------------- Excuse me, I have to pew pew. |

QFT. That can't be changed and that's the one downside to the whole concept. I personally don't mind being labeled a retard in the name of greater fun.

... is nice joke.
You are member of corp/alliance and doen't matter if you like it or not, but whatever you put on forums, it will represent your corp / alliance.
With this in mind, i will post this: Privateers are joke. And bad one. -------- The BoB model is bad for business. Incidently the BoB model is more suited for a game such as WoW where as the ASCN model more suited for Eve.

Uhhh... we don't give a flying shat. That is the whole point and the thing I like the most about PRVT. In one of the recruitment threads somebody wrote something to the effect of:
"If you don't want a 40yr old fat ass, sitting in his brown crusted briefs and wifebeater stained with ketchup, yelling at you on TS to STFU... join the PRIVATEERS"
actually that shoud be our recruitment slogan...

Edited by: stoats on 05/01/2007 13:49:14 Privateer Alliance IS NOT a typical alliance. The wardecs and the possibility of requesting backup are the only reasons people join.
It would be easy enough to dec one alliance at a time with a small corp and a small band of dedicated people - those targets will tend to make themselves scarce if you start infliciting any serious damage though.
With as many wardecs as the alliance currently has it's very easy to find a fight (some would say, too easy).
You are free to call us a joke, I certainly don't care and while I don't speak for anyone other than myself, I'd rather be a joke than in some alliance that yells at me for posting my opinions, or not showing up to a call to arms because I had to perform a gastric bypass on Carnie Wilson (obviously directing at other alliances instead of a direct reply to LUKEC, BoB love to post their opinions and show up to the fight).
Some say we only gank haulers, indeed that is the primary goal as they carry the loot. Many other ships die as well.
Some say we only blob up, indeed that is sometimes the case, but take a look at the killboards - in general there is equal blobbing on both the kill and loss side.
Some say some of our members should be banned from the forums - I dunno if I would go that far, but it would be nice if they stopped with the posting. It certainly isn't painting a great picture of the fantastic group of people in the alliance.
edit: Yeah, so I just read through some of the threads by you-know-who again I'll agree with the banning now!
Others say it's not an original idea to have a bunch of wardecs, this is also true. How many alliances have had 40 concurrent wars in the past though?
In the end it's a game and you play a game to have fun - people in Privateer Alliance are having fun. You certainly can't fault us for that. Some have lost large amounts of isk chasing after this fun. That's just the way the game goes. However losing people due to overview bugs, unplayable lag and questionable game mechanics have led to disheartening losses for some. This is not fun.
Like I said, it's a game - sometimes a buggy game, sometimes a laggy game, but in the end - just a game. Play it like one, not a job.

Your alliance is a a big enough joke and a laughing stock, without your memebers claiming they are the best in game. You are nothing more then empire griefers. You can put on ape suits and beat your chests but you will still be nothing more then empire griefers that are completely disrespected and laughed at by all the other alliances.
But hey it is a game, designed to have fun, so your dellusion of granduer may be what turns you on, but soiling m0o's reputation by comparing yourself is an insult to everyone who was m0o.

I think its amusing that a post that merely states privateers is actually anarchist with regard with what is posted on E-O forums seems to embitter people is it because some of us are having a little freedom-envy?
Yes we can post a load of old toot Yes we will probably war dec your allaince at some point.

I always thought people just figured the Privateers weren't really an Alliance as such, but an administrative shell thrown together to have more empire based war-targets for whoever wants to try to gank there.
I wouldn't expect anyone, even Ollobrains, to reflect on the Privateers, because that's not the way they work.
Individual corps within the Privateers might be a different story. I can see why they might not like having a chump with their tag. The alliance as a whole though -- it's just a shell for more empire pvp-gankage, isn't it?

It was a diffrent time, and even if you were the super pvpTrs of all time time has changed so has wealth. m0o are one of the blocks of Eve history that is untouchable. Privateers might make a diffrent "special" in Eve history, in fact one can say you allready did with making a anarchy uber war deccing alliance, dont compare yourself to things of which you have zero in common.

I personally agree in part I think we are a new manifestation/idea props to Surreptious for this wonderfull concept.
However what I think we have in common with them is that we are a bit nasty/dirty/venal/plain wrong.

Hopefully as Privateers attract more new (and old) blood, their actions will speak louder than the forum trolls' words.

What would you rather, if you were actually vaguely good at PvP? Everyone you run into in empire thinking you're an easy kill, and so actually fighting you on vaguely fair terms, or everyone so terrified they dock, log, run or blob.
*shrug*. Always figured privateers was an interesting and new idea. Even if they do shoot at me, I get to shoot back, and that's all good. I've had a lot of 'good fights' against privateers. Some I've won, some I've lost, but it was so nice to fight someone who wasn't playing the traditional empire 'bait and gank' 'station hug' 'logoff' or 'stabs up the wazzoo' games that seem to go on all too often.

Originally by: Dekiri You might want to rethink that policy or non policy then, because you will be judged by individual members no matter what you post here.
Im afraid this is the problem of the alliance-heads not the Privateers. Again you judge something you dont understand by your own standards.
And there is only one recruitment thread.
I lose count of how many ISS IAC BOB ASCNM threads that pop up daily. But thats ok isnt it. Cos they are Proper alliances.
The reason Privateer threads are 'constanly in your face' is that alliance heads constantly post in them
This then bumps them to the top. Which means more alliance heads post in them. Which bumps them again. If you check Ollobrains thread about MOO - one in 7 posts is by a privateers if that. It is in effect your thread as you are keeping it active.
Ollos thread about MOO was TOTATTLY misread by 90% of the posters who posted in that thread. If you take it as it was intended "that the privateers are ON THE WAY to becoming A MENANCE that may go down in Eve History" then pretty much everone must agree. I dont know how many alliances have ever had 40 empire wars running simultaniously?
Perhaps the vets could tell me
In this alone we have already gone down in history. Maybe as a sidenote but pfft. IF we continue our curve and get a thousand pilots. Whos to say?
And seeing as 95% of alliance-heads i see in game are sporting and generally decent - where the hell do all the forum winkers turn up from?

Originally by: Nepereta I think its amusing that a post that merely states privateers is actually anarchist with regard with what is posted on E-O forums seems to embitter people is it because some of us are having a little freedom-envy?
Clearly you're right, everyone in this thread is under a forum gag from their alliance overlords and are envious of your great freedom to make asshats of yourselves.  Quote:
Seriously though, for a bunch of people who keep telling us how much you don't care what we think and aren't bothered about what your alliance mates post, you're posting a lot about trying to convince us that those alliance mates don't represent you and you're really a great bunch of people who are revolutionizing Eve.
Ok so we established our peeps can post what they want on the eve-o forums( within ccp rules) without the threat of alliance head carpal-tunnel man putting an arbitrary cosh on their illustrious eve alliance careers, like the queen of hearts in alice in wonderland.
OFF WITH HIS HEAD - FINE HIM 10 MILLION ISK AND RESTRICT HIM TO THE NOOB HANGAR!
As such, and bearing in mind the wide variety of people that a free alliance such as the one we share will attract, it is inevitable that different people will have different opinions. Thus, one person will tell you I DONT CARE WHAT YOU LOT THINK and the other will distance himself from Ollobrains posts. Although we can engender a fierce loyalty among some pilots, there is no 'us' in the sm way as BOB os ASCN is an 'us'
Whilst many people have cained ollobrains for his posts (which if you read and analyze are essentialy pertinant and mainly accurate) he hasnt griefed an alliance member so he stays in the alliance free to say what he wants.
This has been briefly discussed by us, the conclusion was any attempt to impose controls, even as small as some sort of PR mouthpiece on the eve-o forums, would betray the initial vision of the corp/alliance, and be a slippery slide into that which many people have fled from - A top heavy, ego-centric, hierarchicaly alliance which has an 11 year old shouting STFU ONLY I MAY CELEBRATE AFTER KILLING THE TITAN in teamspeak at you.
SKUNK
The problem with these long thread is people understandably dont want to read 300 posts so those of us in the beginning end up repeating themselves again and again untill they are sick of it then the thread dies a horrific death before being necroed.

so what you have is a dozen 11 year olds destroying your reputation.
We will have to wait and see what you do when you kill a titan.
I presume your remark was aimed at the only Titan kill when clearly someone above the age of 11 was trying to maintain battle discipline over teamspeak.
The sort of discipline that allowed BOB to kill that Titan on the way to destroying ASCN.
It is interesting that ollobrains situation is already being discussed.
The discussion itself shows a hierarchy forming within your alliance.
Hopefully they will eventually make some decent decisions for the good of your alliance.

With this in mind, i will post this: Privateers are joke. And bad one.
You and others like you seem to think that because you care about your reputation that everyone else should too. I, and privateers, and I'm sure about 85% of the EVE population don't give a toss what you, or BoB, or -insert alliance name here-, think of them or their reputation.
If every post on general discussion was "Nev Clavain is a joke" - you know what? I wouldn't care. In fact, it would be great. I know it must be hard for you to understand. My recommendation is that you take a deep breath, look out the window, another deep breath, and tell yourself "THIS IS A VIDEO GAME AND MY REPUTATION HERE IS WORTH IN TANGIBLE TERMS PRECISELY NOTHING"
The only possible value of a reputation in a game is that it provides you with entertainment, and in that sense your reputation is only worth what you want it to be. IF you really care about being known EVE-wide as a tough guy and general allround hardcore pvper, then i guess its important to you and provides you with some kind of entertainment. For me, as I have said, it would be far more entertaining to be a massive joke, than yet another generic online toughguy.

Well I loled when i saw that video & TS recording too, predictable to say the least. Maybe I'll never destroy an alliance or even a Titan, maybe i'm just not disciplined enough in this Game. I had christmas though which kind of makes up for it. No criticism intended for taking eve very very seriously indeed, but its just not a lifestyle that suits most people. Much criticism intended if you fail to understand that much.

The Titan kill came before the xmas break, which good.
As for the game, people play it differently thank goodness, it would be a dull place if we did not.
I might appear anti Privateers in these threads. I am not, the concept is great.
I am somewhat against "anarchy" coz it is a dead end.

The discussion was purely about whether we should have some sort of eve-o policy. Not specifically about Ollobrains. And the discussion was on our forums, where everyone is free to speak, and anyone who had any opinion was free to post. The general consensus was not to implement any control. Ollobrains himself was party to this discussion. Our CEO aggreed. Most people didnt care tbh.
The 11 year old quote and the titan were really a bunch of stories mixed into one and no age related offence intended to the actual guys involved.
Its obviously normal behavior in BoB however that is a prime example of what a lot of people hate about the big alliances.
Your playing a game - youve spent hours following some guy around, sitting on gates, getting blown up,fleet sniping, bombarding pos's YAWN.
Finally your enemy has a computer related malfunction/makes a human error. Which you take advantage of. You kill the titan.
This is huge thing in the game, and arguable lead to ASCN breaking up to some extent. Your happy! YAY WE KILLED IT! All those hours of tedium under carpal-tunnel man and finally something exciting.
So you cheer! Then some-guy says to you
"GUYS.... GUYS..... LET MOLLY GET EXCITED.... THE REST OF YOU CAN SHUT THE F**K UP"
And you defend it as "maintaining battle discipline". There was no battle - BOB were in a ss with a dead Titan.
This isnt a one off story, nor is it confined to BOB.
But its a main reason I like the privateers. No rank = no condescension.
