ISS are guilty in loss of stations. While they were engaged in trade, instead of war all it was good. As soon as they have attacked on IAC. They have signed to themselves the death sentence.

really a shame. The idea of non-allied deep space public stations was an awesome idea. Unfortunately, you are always going to get people who will try to destroy things they just cant grasp. GL Serenity in future adventures.

How does selling the only assets that can be attacked while maintaining the core business through the IPO count as a death sentence?
IAC can be destroyed, to destroy ISS would require huge, targeted manipulation of the markets over the long term to destroy the investment capital contained in the IPO, not an easy thing to do.

ISS you guys did a great service in laying the foundation for the south. IMO it takes a great deal of effort to remain neutral, a nearly impossible amount of effort. It is hard to be placed in the middle of a war zone and supply support to both sides, like trying to be Switzerland in the middle of a war between France and Germany. One aspect of a war is to stop the supply of arms to the enemy. In order to be that neutral party you have to prove to be worth your weight in gold to both sides. Soon as one side sees you being worth more to the other their loyalty will start to sway, and we all saw that happen over time, after that it took little to spark tension. And that led us to where we stand today. Bottom line, you guys did a great job to keep your neutrality for as long as you did. And you proved to be a great adversary when it came time to choose sides.

Ammm.... this is no disbandment of ISS... this thread is like Oh! ISS is gone... They are only closing their outpost corporations... ISS still exists.... Tho.. Algey has left ISSN?
As much as ISS caused their own downfall, its way too early to close the book.

ISS isn't dead, but they main part of what everyone was familiar with ISS (The Outposts) are dead. So, to most members of EVE, who wasn't friends, or talked to ISS, and only docked in their stations, ISS is dead.
ISSN is as good as dead. The Officers and then plenty of others left the Corp - I am surprised there is still a person posting in this thread in the Corp. It fell hard, and it fell fast. ---------

last i checked, officers stepped up to replace the ones that left and we are having a great time pvping. not very often we can get to fire our salvos into a Nyx that ends up a carcass!
not many of us post on these forums, doesn't mean we're not all active. i just have waaaaayyy too many monitors.. gotta fill the extra displays with something.

ISS is still fighting hard in C3-, with support from LV they have managed to hang on there for a good while now. I know KOS and IAC along with GOONs and others have been constantly harrassing ISS. ISS is still in 0.0 and still fighting. Not sure what is to come next. Eventually ISS may fall back out of C3-, (which i hope happens but give my respect to ISS for holding there as long as they have) or ISS may remain and be stronger as a PVP force due to all the constant combat.
On a side note: several non-IAC people in the Catch region have mentioned that the space is much safer with active Pirate hunting and all the stations there remain open under an NRDS policy. For the average joe spaceman in Catch they would notice fewer hostiles, and the same station services as before. I have no idea what the D2 Station and UK station are set to or the space conditions there.

I left the day after all the Directors quit. The morale was low, we were scattered all over space, and it didn't look good. I am glad you guys are back out there and fighting, good to see that the Navy didn't die despite what was going on. ---------

I personally wonder how much was siphoned off by "those in power" over 1.5 years of dealing with billions if not trillions of other peoples isk.
I wonder how much isk found it's ways into game cards for Serenity and friends.
I wonder how much still overflows their personal coffers?
I wonder how much changed hands via ebay.
I wonder.
Yes... ISS sure changed EvE. Just like Enron changed corporate America.
Unfortunatley there is no higher power in EvE like the criminal justice system to hold those in the ISS board personally accountable for ineptitude.

I'm guessing you can't say the same for Count T or did you just forget him? (Sorry had to do it)
On topic: I guess it was to be expected. The way the political landscape has changed lately hasn't really been good for the publicly owned outposts, so I guess this was the best/only outcome possible. I've had some good fights with ISS and hopefully I'll get a few more...

Seems to me the very nature of ISS foreign policy changed dramatically from it original inception. I am asking why.
Was this really a "whoopsie daisy" regarding relations with ISS's neighbours?
Or was it intentional misdirection aimed at pulling the wool over shareholders eyes to accept less than what is due to them?
Laughable Amith Silvermoon? I find laughing at the misfortune of hundreds of investors while a select few upper level ISS directors make off a literal killing to be mean spirited. For shame on you.
Was it ISS's leaderships intentional decision to implode ISS via **** poor foreign relations that is costing the shareholders billions?
I'd suggest that those that beneifted the most from ISS demise are those like Count T, and other high profile ISS members and directors.
They didn't make a mistake. THIS was a PLANNED course of action to fold ISS. Scuttle ISS, pay off scared and concerned investors 50% on their invested dollar and scamper off with the rest.
Thanksgiving came early for these select few. I am sure that they will never have to paid another cent to play EvE ever again with the isk amassed over 1.5 years of deception.

*SLAP* bad puppy.
ISS has not imploded, however the station companies have folded, with investors being paid more than the shares in those companies were worth (anyone say toilet paper). It was hardly poor foreign policy that was the problem, more getting targeted by the entire anti BoB coalition as one of their first acts. The amusing part of that is that it forced the whole of ISS into LV space, rather than leaving them neutral, but that is another thread.
The IPO is still very much running, and making people a lot of isk.
You sir need a tinfoil hat upgrade.

Not the response I expected One wonders...
EDIT: With that in mind - wouldn't it be wise to "remove" Count T.'s access to the ISSO funds (not even sure he actually has access, although I assume he has re. his position as ISS Chairman)? He has been deemed one of the main reasons to the way things have gone, and with a response like this from an ex ISSN pilot (officer?), investors might be better off knowing that he is not in any way able to get a hold of the ISSO funds.
I know this might be considered trolling, however it is a valid concern, especially since apparently (depending on how you want to read Amith's response) Count T. cannot be counted to be as trustworthy as Serenity Steele. ____________ Coming soon... |

Of course your main would have a 100% impeccible record. It is the activity behind the scenes with alts which would be most revealing.
Your assertion that you spent 1.5 years managing trillions of isk without a 1 isk compensation for your time, effort and energy which is all the proof that is required.
Any sane EvE citizen knows either you would have to be either Ghandi... or institutionalised if your statement was true.

Since you know **** all abut whats going on in the eve finance word, go get a clue here il explain it a bit for you.
Since the birth of ipo's SS have invested in quit alot of them, so much he is a major share holder in quit a few, he is also direktly involved in makeing isk for many of said corperations.
so to put it in a way you understand
the more mony he earns for the corps he got shares in the more isk he makes, bit like haveing employee shares in real life.

I was a senior member former officer, as yes it really how you view what i said. Its amazing how dropping the ISSN/ISS tag can get people talking about stuff you didnt know before, and open your eyes to thing they was formal closed too.
Count a great guy, he was alway pretty damm open with the guys in ISSN about stuff and didnt offen dance around the edge of a subject. I never asked him out-right " So Count how much ISS money s lining your pocket". I would guess he would have laughed and said none but meh.
But since ive left is read, seen and talked about thing that have lessened the respect i had for him.

Since we've left ISSN it has been suggested that we were cowards, traitors, scumbags, general tossers and people who throw out their teddies randomly for no real reason. All of us left because of the treatment ISSN received, yet we are all here vouching for the financial integrity of ISS.
Makes you think doesn't it.

This topic needs another Hobo.
The new ISS IPO is a bit different from the station IPO's. But anyone with half a brain and an interest in ISK should see it's a good thing. I know and understand the IPO pretty well, and somehow it resembles my business out of Pod life pretty good also. If I had the ISK I would invest, then again, I was doing other stuff then making isk.
now where did I leave that bin... Steamy If you only look at the road ahead, Life isn't worth the trip -- Dante

While evacuating stuff from POS in Pure Blind, I noticed that P-2 (the former ISS Borealis outpost system) was consistently virtually empty. It would seem that D2 has removed a neutral* buffer state and not managed to put much in its place.
* Yes, being shot at by everybody (including BoB) made me personally feel quite neutral....

After leaving ISSN, I've reflected on what happened to ISS. My conclusion was that ISS should not have had the Count as its military, industrial, and financial leader. He can only be an expert in a few fields and his "expertise" in the other fields lead to some poor decisions. However, I still believe in the vision of ISS and still find ISS management as group of trustworthy people who I doubt embezzled any of the IPO funds.
Good luck with your future, ISS.
