Well today when I logged into my account and checked my eve-mail I noticed that the alliance Fatal Persuasion and the corp Veto had declared war on my corp. In a panic I flooded the corp channel trying to figure out what is going on. Turns out that one of my corp mates had called someone a "dipstick" after having his industrial destroyed outside a station.
Heres the convo
ChowBoi > yes?
Naphtalia > Did you call me a dipstick?
ChowBoi > did you attack me as I was undocking the station?
Naphtalia > Yes
ChowBoi > then I suppose I did
Naphtalia > Then I suppose I'd like you to appologize
ChowBoi > oh, appologise for the unprovoked attack?
Naphtalia > No, I want you to appologize for calling me a dip****
ChowBoi > I did not call you a dip****, I called you a dipstick
Naphtalia > will you appologize?
ChowBoi > appologise for attacking me
Naphtalia > APPOLOGIZE FOR CALLING ME A DIPSTICK!
ChowBoi > you first
Naphtalia > Sent through evemail
*****At this time they declared war*****
ChowBoi > thats nice
ChowBoi > your maturity is quite astounding
Naphtalia > You started calling names, sir..
Naphtalia > will you appologize now?
ChowBoi > you laid the first blow
Naphtalia > I attacked you in lowsecurity space
Naphtalia > As is propper when two vessels encouter eachother.. you had profit I want it...
Naphtalia > You insulted me..
ChowBoi > but that is much akin to gate camping
ChowBoi > suppose I said I had a rather high opinion of dipsticks in general
Naphtalia > yes, we do that a lot as well
Naphtalia > Suppose you refund the 50mil and appologize, and we forget this ever happened?
ChowBoi > pardon me while I look at both sides of the argument
Naphtalia > you went to pirate territory and insulted me for being a pirate.. and then you failed to appologize..
Naphtalia > I have stated my terms, if you don't wish to take them I wish you a profitable week, citizen
ChowBoi > wait one second
ChowBoi > I did not insult you for being a pirate
ChowBoi > it isn't written that pirates have to attack anyone and everyone they see without provocation
Naphtalia > only if they are in fat profitable haulers
Naphtalia > and stuck in warp... ready for harvesting
ChowBoi > If I was out in a belt, I wouldn't have said anything at all (as I would have been attempting to flee)
ChowBoi > lol, actually, I was empty
Naphtalia > Anyways, I felt insulted, I simply wanted an appology, and now we are at war..
Naphtalia > I wish you a profitable week citizen
Naphtalia > You had nice stuff in your lowslots
ChowBoi > expanded cargoholds?
ChowBoi > did you scan the right ship?
ChowBoi > they sell for 25k each
Naphtalia > I see.. well it was worth the risk..
Naphtalia > 50mil to cover the declaration of war + an appology and we forget about it
Naphtalia > otherwise a profitable week to you citizen
ChowBoi > well, in the interests of galactic peace, I will retain the opinion that station camping is not an act that I approve of
ChowBoi > but, it is your decision as to your own actions
ChowBoi > I appologise for calling you a dipstick
Naphtalia > Thank you, I accept your appology

I think this highlights the need to increase the cost of declaring war. 50 million is a joke for anyone who has played the game for a decent amount of time. It should be like 500 million, minimum.
So, did they retract the war after the apology? Or are they waiting to get paid back?

Absolutely classic, this so completely sums up what EVE is about, CCP should include it in their marketing.
I especially loved the last part, nice twist at the end there.

You didn't send him the 50 million did you? For shame!
Funny stuff though. Bless his piratey socks....... Do you think he knows that a dip stick is the thing you check your car's oil with?

3 points of clarification.
1. My indy wasn't destroyed, just scratched. I was able to hop back into the station.
2. here is what I said in local that upset her:
[ 2007.02.13 18:01:00 ] ChowBoi > oh come off it
[ 2007.02.13 18:01:22 ] ChowBoi > lol, what a dipstick
[ 2007.02.13 18:01:29 ] ChowBoi > attack me coming out of the station
3. And the final part of the conversation:
[ 2007.02.13 18:18:34 ] Naphtalia > Thank you, I accept your appology
[ 2007.02.13 18:26:18 ] Naphtalia > as soon as you xfer 50mil I will drop the war
[ 2007.02.13 18:30:33 ] ChowBoi > Oh, I assure you that will not happen
There is a lot more between myself, my CEO, herself and her fiance but I don't feel that I would be correct in posting it.

I did not post our conversation, someone else did. I eve-mailed it to my corp so everyone knew the reason we were at war.
The funniest thing is that you never threatened war. You are like the person at the shopping mall that gets upset with someone for some small reason and then decides to shoot them in the head with no warning. Its totally irrational. But it was your choice.

We've declared war over less.
It is not Black Rabbits policy to camp stations, but if a target of opportunity presents itself while we are outside a station then of course we will engage it.
The target's response determines any further actions we may take.
We would be happy to arrange an instalment plan if a lump sum is insurmountable at present.

You have 24hours warning, and perfectly reasonable terms.

Yeah, I was in a hauler with nothing in it except 25k ISK cargo extenders. She admitted to lying about scanning me. She jumped me as I was lagged exiting a station trying to warp to a gate. She overreacted because she couldn't take a minor verbal assault after her major physical assault of me in game. You would think someone with -10 security status would have a thicker skin.

Whining? I don't think anyone has been wining. I have yet to hear one "Oh please don't attack us."
I think you are confusing 'whining' with people thinking you overreacted and they are laughing at your super inflated ego.
None of us wants to go to war, especially over something as asinine as your reasoning. But we will never pay you for your own stupid decision. So suck it up, admit that you overreacted, remove the wardec and go on with your life. Or, pursue a war that will waste your corp-mates time and money all over your fragile ego.

Is it? I didn't know that, sorry. don't do this then, but disband the corp until the war is over and wait it out in the npc corp, leave 1 member in the corp and open a corp public channel. don't tell anybody else about it and put all your members in it. then you can keep upto date with what your all doing and whoever gets the fun and honor of war decing a one man corp who can be just an alt who is keeping the corp open for when you all come back

This is excellent stuff. Silly to be truly insulted over such a small insult from someone you just shot at, not silly at all to declare war though, so many are just because people feel like it, it's interaction like this that Eve is all about.

that char prob has billions.
why do people always lie about pirating when all they are really doing is ganking for fun? i dont get it.
anyway why dont you guys just join privateers for a few days
the wardec should carry over and i think ends up costing alot more because its vs an alliance not a corp?

We're a roleplay corp. We pirate because that's what our characters are. Pirates.
Everyone "ganks for fun". This is a game. If it isn't fun then why play?

We already offered a mutual war to Privateers, they didn't want it.. and no.. Alliance->corp and Alliance->alliance = same price..
Also I think you can't join an alliance when you are wardecced (or when you have wardecced, not sure one of the two)
And about the isk remark, we actually do ransom and not collect killmails (well at least I try to enforce them) 50 caracels for 5mil = still 250mil and that is still a sum of isk in any currency

why do people always lie about pirating when all they are really doing is ganking for fun? i dont get it.
anyway why dont you guys just join privateers for a few days
the wardec should carry over and i think ends up costing alot more because its vs an alliance not a corp?
Aye, Napht does EMFI and AATP and various other carebeary things, then turns straight around and kills his alts compadres when he's logged into another account. Highly amusing.
Amusing, but I do wonder if most of his customers know about this side to the character. Maybe this is why everyone trusts him, cus he blatently goes "YARR" half the time openly as opposed to a quiet "yarr" as he runs into the distance with your isk and bpo's.

We already offered a mutual war to Privateers, they didn't want it.. and no.. Alliance->corp and Alliance->alliance = same price..
Also I think you can't join an alliance when you are wardecced (or when you have wardecced, not sure one of the two)
And about the isk remark, we actually do ransom and not collect killmails (well at least I try to enforce them) 50 caracels for 5mil = still 250mil and that is still a sum of isk in any currency
It's only cheaper if it is corp against corp. Which also begs the question of why you didn't wardec just the corp?

So if I send an evemail calling her a dipsick will my 1-man corp get wardec'd?
I'd find it amusing to be honest... I'm kind of tempted to try to irritate enough to make it happen... as my entire eve net worth is less than the cost of declaring war would be. But you could shoot up a few of my Rifters I guess.

Well I hope she's predictable (at least in some sort of internal way that you understand). Role playing is all about carrying out actions based upon what the character would do. If you can't come up with a set group of predictable behaviors that is the role you are carrying out, you aren't really role playing. You're just being a bit of a jerk and justifying it by saying you're role playing. Sort of like those who play dungeons and dragons and make all of their characters chaotic neutral because "that means I can do anything".
Kind of a dipstick thing to do.

If unpredicatable people exist in rl, why should they not exist in an rp setting?
Of course, the goals of the Guristas are central to our own goals, but that doesn't mean we're going to toe the line or be entirely stable.
Anyway, I'm even less prepared to discuss Naph's character than he is. Not my place.

An unpredictable person is only unpredictable to other people. Their actions make sense to themselves. It takes a truly mentally unstable person to not beleive their actions are logical responses to their environment. Your PC might choose to attack my ship because it looks like I've got some good loot... or your PC might hate all Rifters due to a bad experience in their childhood.... or your PC might just like pretty explosions... or you might not like it because my ship is named the SS Belgium.
Regardless internally the character would have to have some sort of internal reasoning behind their actions or be extremely mentally unbalanced. In fact most wildly insane people are pretty logical in their actions... the logic is just based on very odd starting points.
I don't care what anyone's character has for motivations or reasoning for RP... but saying you're role playing a brittle character as an excuse for a silly overreaction to being called a word that may not even have any relevance in the RP world of Eve does strike me as false. It sounds a LOT more like the player behind the character got upset at being called a name, and is just using character as an excuse... "because my character is unpredictable, so could do anything!"

A dipstick is any device used to measure fluids inside a non transparent container. I've got a feeling such a simple and easy to use tool would still be in wide use in anything from planetary vehicles to space ships.

Dipsticks are used in more then just cars, I suggest you look up, for example, planetary vehicles.

Now don't get like that. A dipstick is a measuring tool. Its just a tool, its evil or good is determined by the actions of the one that wields it.
Kind of like the Triforce in Zelda, only not quite as potent.

I think this highlights the need to increase the cost of declaring war. 50 million is a joke for anyone who has played the game for a decent amount of time. It should be like 500 million, minimum.
So, did they retract the war after the apology? Or are they waiting to get paid back?
I agree :)

Everyone knows our minmatar ships run on oil and they are only kept in one piece because of the fervent belief of the pilot that they aren't just a heap of salvage parts. So a dipstick is definitely a useful tool.
That said, I have nothing but respect for my dipstick.

Well actually i would not dip her into Oil, i rather tie her up on the bed, slowly cover her with nice warm chocolate before nibbling and licking it away. Slowly tracing her soft curves with your tongue while you can hear the mean little bunny gasp and squirm helplessly. Yes, revenge can be bitter sweet, cant it ? And if you finnaly reache her lip¦s, gently offering her a cherry you hold between your lip¦s she will promise you evrything,including not shooting you again, just to make you stay.

And what respect would that have been? I assure you that such rash action on his part has left me with absolutely no respect for him.
And throwing abuse? Come on... I think on the scale of abuse, dipstick is way way down on the list past Goof ball, silly head, curmudgeon and cantankerous. Based on his reaction you would think I said "Hey **** ** ** * ** ** that **** me ***** when I left the ***** station, you can kiss my *** you ******* low life, lilly livered **** **** and sit on a monkeys face *****,**** and your mother was a hamster I bet! Oh, and your a dipstick!"
This is space and not a tea party. The "pirate" got his feelings hurt. The "pirate" lashed out in anger. I know the war is on and don't really care either way, but I hardly believe I should be labeled a "kid throwing abuse".

Puhlease, I doubt I could fight him in my caracal vs. his kestral. I have some 2.5 months vs his 2 years. But that doesn't mean I would back down from a fight. I would most assuredly go down in flames. But alas, I have never been one to take smeg from a bully.
That's the attitude m8, get your corp in cruisers and come kill us in Otsasai. Just have fun!

This is eve.. eve has consequences.. I was kind.. offered to get of with just an appology.. you didn't take it.. then used the only tool eve offers which is the shiney wardec button..
now stop whining and grow a spine and bring it..
This is classic! A big tough pirates whose feelings are hurt by being called a dipstick! Personally I think you were just embarassed at missing the gank.

So now you admire Naph becuase you want to dip her in the oil of your mustangs crankcase? :P
Fight this war in eve please.. not on the forum...
*smiles lightly and nibbles on her lower lip before she whispers all inocently*
Well actually i would not dip her into Oil, i rather tie her up on the bed, slowly cover her with nice warm chocolate before nibbling and licking it away. Slowly tracing her soft curves with your tongue while you can hear the mean little bunny gasp and squirm helplessly. Yes, revenge can be bitter sweet, cant it ? And if you finnaly reache her lip¦s, gently offering her a cherry you hold between your lip¦s she will promise you evrything,including not shooting you again, just to make you stay.
Well that was an interesting responce Out of curiosity what lips were you refering to

It's also an exploit.
Actualy it is not an exploit and is 100% legal.
What is an exploit is when you change corp to avoid war dec, the person who created the war dec drops it and war decs the new corp and you all switch back to the old corp.
However eventhough this is a exploit as I found it will not be enforced.
My advise is to create a new corp and move all your members over.
repeat as above until the corp get bored of war dec'ing an empty corporation.

I havent read all the replies, tbh cant be fussed too. BUT if i read correctly the war was dec'd mid convo?? The proces to declare war takes 24hours before you can officially war dec someone(create a vote ect) then it's 24hours to fight.... i may be wrong or there is another way of doing it but it lookes like the ball was already rolling, so all that was needed was a reason for war! Or did i not read correctly?

In my old corp that was how we chose the next war decc, when you're pirating that's a very nice way to keep yourself occupied with deccs

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Let them war dec you, and let them come. They will try to extort money from you, say no. They will probably try to blob you for awhile, however, if you are able to take out a large number of their ships, they will mostly leave you alone... but still try to extort money from you.
Eventually, they'll get bored, and move along.

And if by sic then you mean station our capital assets there and occationally run around ganking people when we were bored, then yes. Unfortunately I've lost all my logs with the precious "capital = nub" smacktalk.
The Black Rabbits are a powerful and efficient corporation. It is amusing that you must act so defensively against somebody who only bothered with you as an occational distraction, of course, to a corporation with your low level of presence being ransomed for 400M probably made you feel all warm and important inside.

Our killboard disagrees. Of course yours is poorly maintained, with few pilots posting losses, and I can't link ours here to prove it. Its easy enough to find though.
We left Placid because the reason we were there (assisting SF in a campaign) came to an end. You can make yourself feel important by pretending you were part of that reason and also part of the reason we left, but you're fooling no-one but yourself.

Those are just the facts. The reason your "killboards" don't reflect the real damage is your allies kills (Sanguine Legion) aren't up on your killboard.
However, the fact of the matter is, you guys left placid (star fraction didn't,) we're still here... oh, and you're a dipstick!! *waiting for another "roleplaying" war*

I think Star Fraction and Fatal Persuation need a lesson in who Black Fleet is. Defeat is a state of mind, we have fun winning or losing. It's nerds who get angry over a game. We like to pull people's chains and irritate them into war deccing us because we know we can. We have some some amazing PvPers on our corp and some half decent ones. We win some, we lose some, but you kill our ships, we buy more and keep coming. No surrender and have fun in the process.
So in our own personal opinion (which is the only one that matters) we cannot be defeated, defeat will only come when you make us dislike this game that we love so very much.

lesson here: don't smack talk. better to ignore anyone you feel like taking out anger on. smack can lead to this bs and worse if you lack control and the smack target is a oversensitive petition-happy crybaby.
if you want to avoid decs, you just don't provoke people unnecessarily. if you really didn't lose much, there shouldn't have been a reason to be that upset. a simply fitted hauler aint gonna put you back more than a mil and a half, i'd expect.

Kills against an entirely different corp are not kills against the Rabbits.. Including them would make as much sense as including our Noobcorp kills in efficiency calculations against your corp..
At the end of our vacation in Placid, the Rabbits had a K/L ratio in excess of 5:1 against your corp.. The Rabbits inflicted over 2.2 billion ISK in damage against you.. Your corp managed a meager 450 million.. We left Placid, and you stayed, in the same exact manner that the victor leaves the battlefield with the corpse of his enemy left in the dust behind him..

Rabbits, drop Blackfleet from this conversation..
1) don't feed the trolls
2) this is an ooc forum and we don't discuss our 'combat results' oocly in public
3) Blackfleet is off topic
4) Everyone knows what happened
5) Karl just came in here because he is bitter. ignore him, he will leave
6) This thread is for the dipstick discussion and I hate thread hijacks, don't participate in it..
Karl, if you really want to discuss/gloat/whimper about Placid.. make your own thread, that is fair to the OP.
Thx.

No see what he means is that you'll charge Black Fleet ships with a mixed gang of you're corp and another separate corp, and when you lose say for example 12 ships, 6 of yours and 6 of the other corps, and Black Fleet loses 12 ships, its technically even but your corp lost less ships because you employed help.

I will end this discussion on my terms, not the Black Rabbits (just as we fight our wars.) Scound is correct. When your war "effort" employess mixed gangs, and you have access to their kills on your killboard without their losses, it tends to "skew" data.
This is neither here, nor there. In respect to the OP, it is our opinion, after having fought the Black Rabbits that there is nothing for them to worry about.
If, as in our case, if you engage them and destroy a large number of their ships, the will become uninterested in you.
Don't get me wrong, Black Rabbits are very good pvpers (personally I think the soon to be nerfed faction nano pilot is an exception,) they just don't have stamina for a long term, or costly war.
You can beat them by:
1. Killing a large number of them at once
2. You can wait them out, despite what they might tell you, they are the onces who lack patience

Seriouslly, I'm not sure, given how things go on this forum (like have you seen EVERY other thread on this forum), where the stay on topic warning is coming from.

True, however its Black Rabbits who are off topic here because they're talking about Black Fleet. OP is talking about Black Rabbits in a war context and as are we. So please Black Rabbits I implore you, stop derailing this thread.

I'm confused why a corp full of outlaws would pay ISK to dec anyone, and if they did -- what's the big deal? So the black rabbits decced some bears and the bears are emo about. Hey, bears -- head to the nearest .5 system with a bunch of a belts and set up shop for a week. Problem solved - you won't have to worry about any outlaws camping you.
Sure, with disposable income some outlaw corp might wardec over being called a dipstick, but you gotta ask if they're willing to grind their sec status up enough to be able to come get you in high sec. I doubt it.
Still though, stop smacking pirates in local, people. You don't get anything over on anyone and just look like a retard. You're not saving face, you're losing it.
However, the Veto. wardec is something else entirely. I don't know why you got decced by them (besides Verone's mention of RP and "target practice" or whatever) but you might actually have to buy your way out of that one. Oops. Maybe next time you'll STFU in local.

I hardly think that is smack talk. What caused the wardec was simply this one thing. Since Napht ATTACKED me first, I simply asked that he apologize for attacking me exiting a station and then I would apologize for calling him a dipstick.
That was it people, I said "you first" and he lost it and wardeced. This wasn't started by me calling him awful names and abusing him in local. At that time, I was not aware of anything other then the fact that HE SHOT MY SHIP. Napht was offended that I called him a dipstick, I was offended that HE TRIED TO KILL ME!
Yes, Yes, it was in 0.3 and anything goes in lowsec. But just remember, I didn't initiate the conversation demanding an apology because Napht shot at me. I knew I was in lowsec, thats why I also throttled back to the least offensive word I could think of, namely 'dipstick'.
And in my wildest dreams Napht, I didn't think I could upset you so badly in a short amount of time just by asking you to apologise first that you drop 50 million to wardec from your entire alliance. I didn't think you were that sensative as I expected alot more from a pirate. You don't even know how to threaten people. Here is how it should have gone down...
Napht> You sir, insulted me in local chat, I demand you apologize!
ChowBoi> You attacked me exiting the station, apologize first!
Napht> One of the dangers traveling in lowsec, now apologize!
ChowBoi> You first
Napht> I refuse to apologise for my actions, I am at home in lowsec and you invaded my home.
Napht> Now apologize before I bring the wrath of the entire Fatal Persuasion alliance on the head of your corporation.
ChowBoi> whoa... ok...
ChowBoi> I humbly apologize for calling you a dipstick". I will make haste to leave your region of space and never return!
That would have been RPing on your part. You didn't get into RP mode till after you wardecd. So don't play the RP card. You just lost control.
Oh, the few people in your corporation and in Veto that I have spoken with all seem very honorable, so you do have good people working for you.

How am I off the mark?
I said Napht was sensitive about being called a dipstick (obviously). That Napht didn't make any attempt to threaten me (as a pirate would), or to extort any money out of me (as a pirate would). I also said that in that interaction, Napht did not RP at all until after the wardec. So what part of that was off the mark?
And I apologize if calling the other members of BR and Veto honorable somehow offended them.

The wardec on our part was put in entirely on in character RP reasoning while we're off contact and moving HQ.
With regards to ISK, we asked in character for nothing but a mail of apology from the pilot who insulted Naph, and one from the corp's CEO. No money involved.
We were met with a wall of abuse.
Enough anyway... as the rabbits have said, it spoils the fun to speak about an IC situation on an OOC forum

Lets be realistic here. Most of the Black rabbits are -10 pirates. All you have to do is stay in high sec and you will be ok for a while. As for Veto., I don't know much about them. I still think the leet dot is retarded though.

I am not worried about the rabbits as much as Veto., as they are an established merc corp, most of them are less than -2.0 so yeah, they can come after us whenever and wherever they choose. Other than Napht, I have seen only one rabbit as they are almost all -10.

Naph plays a character who is 'out of control' an 'extremely sensitive woman' the problem being of course that roleplayers and non roleplayers are now interacting which doesn't really work.
Calling her a 'dipstick' in char would be seen as a grave insult, however you weren't in char (as you don't play that way)... but Naph as a roleplayer is really not supposed to come out of character at all, so she had to react and in char that is exactly how she would react. My own character is wracked with guilt for the things he has done and the fact he cannot stand up to Naphtalia to stop her doing stupid things like war deccing a corp that we cannot actually touch (as we are mostly -10 as you quite rightly said.
But Naph can't pick and choose when to roleplay and when not to, otherwise it doesn't work. Obviously OOC every man and his dog are going to be calling Naphtalia a dipstick in local and since we can't war dec everyone, she is going to have to swallow her pride and get corpses over a period of time.
A fascinating thread actaully, obviously the non roleplayers and new guys are going to believe we are either A. Utterly bonkers or B. Sad bully boys with nothing better to do.
The reality is of course, we don't actually care what you think, but this whole thread has certainly amused us and has found pride of place on our own forums (OOC of course).
Have fun out there and remember to you it's only a game, but to us, it's a lot less serious than that.

I remember someone in eve told me that if you wanted to fire the doomsday device on a minmatar titan you insert a dipstick into the gap in the control panel.. so i guess dipsticks are important
So THAT'S why Backdoor Bandit's Discount School for Supercapital Piloting was raided and shut down by the CONCORD authorities!
Err... That wasn't a control panel.. And you might want to get your dipstick checked at the nearest medical facilities...  |

Thank you for the insight, I hadn't thought about that side of things before. The RP vs non-RP conundrum is quite difficult to figure out. Some of us that do not RP are just trying to enjoy the game, and are rightly upset when they get jumped by pirates. The idea that "you should know better" and "you shouldn't smack talk" are irrelevant as all that matters is the perception of the beholder.
RPing someone that unstable (and doing a fine job of it) would ensure a bad reaction to anyone that Napht attacked. The slight could have been from me re-docking to the station, or the fact that I didn't stay there and let her shoot me. People may say "well that doesn't make sense" but we are dealing with an irrational person so technically anything could have set her off.
Now, if her Bio had said something like "**Roleplayer - out of control and extremely sensitive woman - you have been warned**" this may have played out differently as I would have though... how would my wife respond without large doses of chocolate to being called a dipstick?
I know that this whole thread has put a smile on many a faces as my fan mail (and I am sure Napht's) show. So it will just have to go down in eve history as you put it on your killboard "Operation DipStick".
Verone,
Though I don't agree with the wall of abuse comment, I do see that you wanted just a written apology. It was Napht that kept wanting the 50 million back.

Actually she was in a bad mood and you were there and said something to catch her attention, but I am unwilling to discuss my IC motivation and the reason for her bad mood at that time.. Though OOC I tried to be reasonable (giving 2 escapes, one before and one after the war) though ofc many will disagree ;P

Naph is getting mostly "you are a dipstick" fanmail, which is quite surprising to her and are adding to a lot of tinfoilhat theories that your corp are "up to something" becuase of course "noone reads this forum becuase it doesn't exist... o.O" <---- that is why I preferred the OP to be made on the IGS and we could have done this IC and actually maybe solved the issue there.. then again, JC and I couldn't have responded sensibly as we are doing here.

yes 2 wars, 2 different terms to end, and of course a good chance that if one ends the other might end as well.. but seriously we really don't like to debate/negotiate this ICly.. Send us a mail, open a convo, post on the IGS or CAS to reach Naph/Verone...
Or Rather, undock and kill us all and destroy our corps, hire mercs.. call your alliance friends you threathened us with... or meet the terms... no need to solve it here.. spoils the fun for all..

I will say this, I had been a 'carebear' before just trying to get the gist of the game, attempting to build up some ISK for bigger and better things. The one fight with Belwar was the first PvP I had been in where I wasn't just mining and was actually somewhat prepared for the fight (at least I knew it was coming).
The rush that comes along with it was quite intense. Even though I had less than 500K invested in my ship and meager implants, I got a serious jolt that I was even able to strip his shields away to nothing. It put alot of things into perspective as far as PvP. I can understand some of the prat mentality now (as scary as that sounds).
I will continue this discussion IG from now on or at least on one of the other boards (now that I know the names are acronyms).
Though I would still happily pull the trigger to destroy ship and do vile things to your corpse, I will say "Thanks for making the game interesting!"

I don't think the original poster has a leg to stand on.
To many of us, AND the developers, Eve was/is centered around PvP.
I really don't mind (these fake, fictional) wars over the most arbitrary thing, as that's what is great about the game. Real life, of course, is a different matter.
But, heck, I'm all for finding some small clueless corp dreamily mining, or NPC'ing, their mary-jane headed highs away, then declaring war against them just to bring 'em up to speed with the rest of us.
Carebears - you gotta love 'em - but, eventually, you gotta teach 'em right.

Sure makes for fun reading. A friends Corp has a similar situation at hand, but with a twist. Someone of his Corp allegedly insulted Gaven Blands, so Gaven joined an 8 day old For-War Corp (Excel Labs) with his pals Tia Organa and Elesaar, war started yesterday 18:47, the attackers got one unsuspecting miner and his alt (several of the target corps members didn't get the WarDec Mail, EVEmail at its best), but stumbled into a small security fleet of the attacked a bit later. Result: Gaven, Tia and Elesaar jumped corp just about 6 hours after the war got hot. Praise their bravery. |

Flapping? I just told the facts of last night and it fits this thread very well. I didn't insult anyone, did I? The only thing flapping seems to be your corp membership. Sorry, but that's very bad form, or no form at all. Some would call it exploiting, but hey, it's within the rules, and who am I to complain.

Don't really see what that has to do with anything?
It means you set your stall out in this forum veiling the truth. So anybody who thinks your word is gospel can be objective about it.

Praise their bravery. Spoken in sarcasm is an insult, which raised the exit bill for the war.
I called it exploiting until I found out it wasn't. VENUS' response to the immediate threat was to blob. We could respond with bigger blob. We however prefer to engage the brain and see what else can be done besides single syllable words.
Your respect for me is not desired, required or in anyway useful. Any respect you had was only through fear anyway, and it was us that taught you not to be fearful. So your lack of respect is logical and of no concern at all.
Getting at your one member who has serious problems keeping his thoughts out of harms way would be a bonus, but teaching him that his friends can suffer simply because he has a mouth he cannot control is the key here. The sad thing is, many of your members are running their mouths off in just the same way he does, which doesn't bode well for the ones with an ounce of common sense.
And the exit bill has just risen again. Until you learn to control yourselves, it will continue to do so.

Let's make one thing clear: I didn't respect you out of fear, but because you were in company of respectable people. Well, I was mistaken to judge you by that. You're actions are in no way as mature as your words, and it's your actions by which I now judge you and your companions.
RE Praise their bravery. According to reports at least one of yours was jumping corp while hunted, if that's not true say so, if it is it's hardly brave, is it?
I know, I know, the price has just risen again and so on. Until you learn to control YOURSELF you'll just repeat that time and again so I did i there for you.
