who are they? just curious, new to all this political stuff
However. when i joined eve, it was after seeing a video of players building the first starbase, and all the details about this fantastic achievement
this starbase was ISS Marginis... and well if it is actually true it changed hands, thats a big page of history turning.
i just hope ISS lives through this. I wonder how many alliance pilots at war with them learnt 0.0 ropes in ISS stations, thanks to their public access ------

This isn't an alliance announcement in regards to IAC or our allies move to take this station however I will provide information pertaining to station services whilst under the control of IAC.
- IAC will NOT allow docking of known enemies of this campaign - IAC will NOT allow docking of those who actively shoot IAC or neutrals in our constellation in the past
- IAC WILL allow docking by ALL other EVE entities
For those who can dock, all station services will remain open, except jump clones which will be made available should the station remain in our control.
In the short term, docking will be free, until the station can be moved to the correct IAC holding corp under which time they will be set in-line with IAC's current stations fees.
All original office leases in KDF rented by entities that have nothing to do with this campain will remain valid. If circumstances change, you will be contacted.
As this war is most likely far from over, solar systems around the outpost are under NBSI rules. IAC will resume NRDS as soon as it is reasonably possible.
Should ownership of the station change again (we're expecting it), or circumstances change, IAC will inform the greater public.
Enjoy the free beer! :)

This really is sad. I always liked what ISS was trying to do but they have clearly spread themselves way too thin across the map.
I hope you guys can recover - Cassini was a constant thorn in your side and frankly you were better without it. But Marginis was the flagship.
Edit: Well, IAC are offering free beer so it's maybe not as sad as I first thought  -*-*-*-*-

Seems the offer Count TeSassine made a week or so ago and was too little too late. It was seen for what it was and maybe if he offered Tyrrax an Imp Apoc right at the start of this campaign like I suggested he might still have ISS Marginis (the shining star off ISS, their first outpost, a place that I visited many times in my IAC days).
Word was ISS were on their own and it was only a matter of time. Kudos to IAC who held firm at the start of the campaign under onslaught to turn it around to this current stage.

Congrats IAC.
Off course as an entity ISS won't die, they real strength of ISS in terms of manpower is tucked away down in Tenerifs and ever since they moved manpower down there the outposts at KDF and ZXIC have always had a limited future. TBH they do not deserve to die, however if i was a shareholder i certainly would be looking for a management review. ISS needs to move back to what it was and always should be. A strong public industrial Alliance. Count Tess do whats best for ISS, if that means stepping down step down.
While ISS maintained the image of being a public industrial Alliance they were neutral to all. The taking of Trust outpost set them down a rocky road which has lead them to where they are today, on the way to their current position they got a taste for the things that took away their neutrality - Large Scale Alliance Warfare - whether for good or bad.
You have to step away from that, remember your strengths not your current failures.
Most importantly remember your neighbours first and formost. They have to accept you under a flag of faith, your part in the seige of IAC first time around was a break of that trust, this has been the result. D2 secured its own border up north because it was no longer sure it could trust your neutrality. There was a distinct possibility you could be used as a staging point for invasion from another force and now IAC down south for that very same reason has taken control and a touch of revenge it felt it was due for several instances of that breakdown in trust over 6 months.
1 Year ago BOB themselves removed your PoS from their lands for that very same reason, history is repeating itself.
You have Providence - work with your neighbours there (i think CVA/UK balancing act might need some loving at some point if your not careful).
And you have your own corner of the world at Tenerifs which has semi protection from LV.
Enjoy your remaining space i honestly do hope you keep it.

I honestly don't fault the ISS ideology, they achieved what they set out to achieve and they did something that no-one else did.
The problem is partly down to casting their net too far and too wide, but that's not it. The problem was that they allowed political gangrene to set in; and rather than sever the affected limb, they only treated the wound. By the time that anyone realised the blood was poisoned, it was too late.
Passing intel between hostile entities, taking questionable ownership of outposts, providing safe harbour for those who asked first, some pilots firing on neutrals, and allowing some members to make very strong/wrong statements time and time again on the forums; are some of the elements of this rot. Whilst ISS have been open about this and have tried to stop it; they are examples of how political and mortal ISS actually is, regardless of them achieving something that no-one else had.
On a personal level, I knew ISS were doomed when Butter Dog was continually allowed back into ISS; culminating with his startling public attack on MC/ISS/IAC. I think any bridges that ISS had up until that point, had been well and truly burnt. It's not the fact that someone is lying, but the tarnish that someone had the potential to lie; that does the damage.
In my opinion, ISS needed to be regionally divided. ISS 'Pure Blind' cannot be as easily accused of passing intel to ISS 'Providence'; as has been mentioned in the past. ISS 'Providence' could negotiate favourable terms with neighbouring alliances, and so on. Yes, this would make ISS a more political entity, but each element would fit better within its geography; than hoping a 'catch all' alliance could. ISS could still maintain its Navy, or allow for each element to maintain its own fighting force.
I am not saying that loosing two outposts is the end for ISS. But they will have to take rapid and severe action in order to prevent the situation getting worse; and I don't mean in terms of military action.
And being completely honest, I will be sad to see them go; if indeed this is the end of them.
Oh, and please take this as my personal and official opinion of this all, not of my corporation or alliance. I am sure people will accuse me of getting facts wrong, or of having favouritism.
What I do the rest of the time - Vote for a Jita bypass! |

Indeed. The fate of ISS was sealed the moment you got maGz banned.
Everything since that point was inevitable.

Edited by: Dark Shikari on 09/01/2007 16:15:45 So is ISS going to try to actually take the station back once the bandwagon falls apart, or are they going to give up right now and not even try?
I sense a lack of balls.
Perhaps if it was ISS's money, rather than shareholders', they might care a bit more.

Congrats IAC for taking the station. Glad to see you've come out on top. Now where our kegs of Ale? 
To ISS - hopefully you have learned from this experience and will continue on and persevere. I have utmost respect for the amount of dedication you show in the game. Unfortunately, this is what happens when a self-proclaimed neutral entity tries to play the political game.

Edited by: Splagada on 09/01/2007 16:24:57 any "politics for dummies" sumup somewhere?
i see a lot of stuff there and well what happened, any summary exists?
didnt know iss had that many enemies
is this a isk thing or did they do something to **** off that many people ?
just curious, living around catch/providence and well never had a prob with them. nyphur and co were always nice, at least to us non-factors, helping and generally fun (even found french buddies in trantor corp).
but im not much into groups/politics so that could be why
any info or links about what happened to set all on fire like this? ------

Originally by: FireFoxx80 Edited by: FireFoxx80 on 09/01/2007 15:16:29 Edit: On the other hand, ISS cannot be held entirely accountable. Their war with IAC is down to IAC believing them to be 'too close'
I don't see where you got that from? My view of it is that the backstabbing ISS did time and time again, and the nonexisting control of ISS pilots is what have brought it to this, alongside with Count's nose up in the air.
And, yes, I'mm entitled to write about this, as I was a member of IAC a long time, and was a member when some of those backstabbings occured.

Where have ISS said they won't attempt to re-take marginis? And they do care, otherwise there woudn't have been a defence fleet in ZXIC last night. Further more, you might want to ask the goons if ISS have any military ability these days at all (even if it's not the best in-game). ---------- It's great being minmatar, ain't it |
