Edited by: Le Skunk on 24/04/2007 05:15:12 This is intended as a player driven - galactic wide EvE 'event'. Come hunt a privateer... we will be hunting you 
Thanks to all our regular 'clients' .. you know who you are
Thanks to all who have supported us on the forums and elsewhere - I know its unfashionable to show support when your in a big alliance 
Thanks to all the cool people we have fought with, and fought against
Thanks to all the Privateers.. past and present
Oh yeah.. for all those people who commented on us wardeccing ourselves....
2007.04.24 04:08 Privateer Alliance has declared war on The Privateer Alliance. After 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved.

A LOT - Ill calculate it later
Though i was very suprised how few of the big alliances actualy are at war. So we got a lot on the cheep (50mills)
70% of the isk came from privateer members. 15%-20% from our regular clients who stuck a couple of extra decs in for fun. 10% from last minute panic jobs where people realised they would never be able to get a cheep dec on their enemeis again. And 5% donations from neutrals who felt the 'nerf' decision was a bit harsh.

You can't wardec someone, then tell them to come to empire and teach you a lesson. That's just retarded. Also, there may be 721 of you, but there are also probably 700 of you docked at any one time. You're not cool because you wardec a lot of people, you're not cool because you try to smacktalk people into fighting you that honestly don't give a crap about you. You might have a lot of PvPers and many of them may be good--but you obviously don't like the odds, you're just doing this because no one else has. Fortunately your time will be up soon.

222 decs, astounding. I can say I'm proud to have been part of privateers, although I took waaay too long to finally join them. There's nothing better than vilification simply due to a little tag. Everyone i've flown with in privateers has been fun to play with, all good sports who care more about pew pew and a good time than system sovereignty, who gets to mine the arkanor, and zomg cloaked macoratter fleets.

Damn right i'll be there this week, ganking, getting ganked, and having a ton of fun. Privateers, you made empire your playground, and this free-for-all is the perfect end to your legacy.
Just don't disappoint us guys, no running, no hiding or docking. Pop, refit and come back for more. Screw the K:D ratio's. Let's fight, fair or not.

I hope some alliance gets a fleet together and hunt the jita 4-4 muppets. I bet we would see hundreds of them taking a speed record in docking.
And when the week is over, what then? Camping a 0.4 system and killing haulers should suit you just fine!

Many thanks for all the positive posts, especialy our 'enemies' 
Trolls ignored - for the answer to all your points please use the search button and reference threads 1-99 about the Privateer Alliance. Ive answered the same attacks about 50 times. As have my collegues.

Only thing you did was,that people that didn`t had a second acc now have one. CCP thanks you for all those thousend extra accounts.
I thought we were ruining CCP because of all the people quiting because we ganked their ibis and stole their shuttle BPO :)
Originally by: Natalia Trade Truly an epic thread, and one that cost the PRIVS lots of ISK :) Does someone have an Alliance I can join so I can fight some more as well ? I like the pew pew... And I didnt get any love this last bash go around :(
Yeah sorry I remembered you at one point but something came up and i forgot to wardec you. I tried to reach out to all our 'regulars'.
Originally by: Varban II Mr. Le Skunk for Gallente President!It's been fun while it lasted. Good luck.
LOL. Nobody would vote for me. My avatar has a receding hairline.
Originally by: Zaphod Jones So this is why you decided not to renew your war with us ? hmm strange 
The war dec mechanics mean you cannot dec someone who is in the 24 hour cool off period after a war. I was unable to dec a couple of people we would have liked due to this. Also the occasional "you cannot war dec these people they are disbanding/have just joined an alliance" message popped up on alliance for no apparant reason and prevented the dec.
Originally by: LiBraga Oh noes... I forsee the empire nodes crashing whilst people come to you. Or is that the point ?Just like when that corp spammed Jita with shuttles in protest. That was an exploit, this is a clever get around.Just proves that some Privateers have brains 
Everyone know we have no brains. We aint gonna spit the dummy (though the temptation was there) Were justing doing what we always did - have a blast and play by the rules.
EVE UNI:
Originally by: Auri Hella Was fun while it lasted. I've always enjoyed fighting PRVT. Flying around with a blob of wide eyed uni students will never be the same again.
Originally by: Zaolen Ying Edited by: Zaolen Ying on 24/04/2007 12:44:30 I'm sad you didn't wardec e-uni :( I for one would have loved to pew pew you lot one last time :p -Z
Its like i said time and time again. Most of the people whining about eve uni decs were not even in it! The few times we decced them they came out in force activly looking for a fight. They camped their hom systme and lessons could go on as usual.I recieved lots of mail from them syaing how much peeps enjoyed it and whens the next one. I had a particulaly memorable 1 vs 8 with a small gang of em gogin round looking for trouble.
Im suprised the E Uni didnt make a corp up out of the alliance to war dec us and their students could flip into it for some pew pew. I think the students were terrified of saying anything bloodthirsty or out of line - i understand they are quite heavily moderated by the management.
Our ex CEO stated in public he admired the work you did. So we didnt dec ya.
Hmm thats an idea I wish id thought of a few months ago- start a privateer corp called The EVIL-UNI. Poach all your bad seed students and teach them the ways of the scumbag.

LOL - We set up a one man alt corp called The Privateer Alliance so we could war dec 'ourselves' like everyones been commenting on for so long. Purely for a joke - Though mid week im taking the alt out in an ibis with some expensive goodies in the cargo hold and im gonna buzz our own guys.

Originally by: Patient 4127 For me, the privateers were always about that. Pew pew in it's purest form, unshackled from politics, with no assets to defend of space to control, and conducted in full sight of other players in the middle of high-sec.Flying around high-sec with half the world out to get you.Throwing ship after ship into blind engagements purely for amusement value, burning up 100m isk in a week, 5-10m isk at a time. :)I learned to PVP in the flaming cauldron of Privateer warfare, and if I could spare this alt from the war effort, I'd be back in a flash.
The magic started to fade when the Privateer Corp stopped taking new members, and a forum psuedo-ban went into place. The original "Join When You Like, Leave When You Must, No Rules" that Infinity put into place started to fade.The freedom was gone.
But a huge thank you to all the Privateers I flew with, and the crazy fights our enemies got us into. It was a blast.
And if it happens that the original spirit of freedom the Privateers represented dies today, a little piece of me dies along with it.
Hi mate. Well as we became bigger - it became harder to totally maintain the anarchic start up. The only rule infinity set up was "dont grief an alliance mate". We got the odd tard coming in causing grief and someone had to step up to take both sides and boot the bad guy.
Also - the unrestrained forum posting lead to a LOT of work for our then CEO - with idiots complaing to him via mail and convo in game. The unrestraind forum posting was in fact 'griefing' our CEO. He didnt ask for peeps to not post - just dont be a douche.
Apart from that the freedom was totaly intact. Go where you want, gang if you want, pirate if you wnat, mine if you want. No commands to meet here and do this. No ego trips from the three 'command' figures - who were mainly all about admin to enable the fun to go on. People could still come join one of our sister corps in the alliance who acepted people of all skill points, abilities, and employment historys.
Anyhows - sneak back in for a day of pew pew if you like - gimmie a prod
Originally by: WisdomLikeSilence After the nerf, lets all war-dec Privateers alliance. Hurrah!
LOL. Nice idea which i would welcome. You wont be able to though. The nerf applies to anyone wanting to wardec us as well. One or two corps/alliances will be able to do it - but then the cost becomes extortionate. Great isnt it. Good thinking from concord - who will in fact be making people less accountbale for their actions on all sides

Lol - Ive lost so many ships its not funny. The beauty of it was though - that one lucky score (which i got) and im still ISK up - even though i fit out ships and throw them into odd fights i like the smell of. Dropping 100 million to smart bomb a swarm of 15 assault frigs an intys (i got and podded two before they cottoned on to increase their range)

I've always enjoyed fighting the Privateers, and I congratulate you both on taking your nerfing with good grace and going out in style.
Originally by: Le Skunk

i understand they are quite heavily moderated by the management.
Our ex CEO stated in public he admired the work you did. So we didnt dec ya.
Many of the Uni's students enjoyed the wars, and many of Ivy League's more senior pilots saw them as excellent training opportunities. But there were other students who genuinely resented the idea that newbies were being targetted, and those who were more carebear orientated no longer felt safe enjoying their chosen style of play. And faculty always finds it frustrating when class schedules are disrupted and recruitment limited.
So we needed a balance between no wars with Privateers (which IMO would have been a missed opportunity) and a war every other week (which would have just been too much of a distraction from the alliance's goals). We're grateful that you guys were willing to talk to us and work with us to keep that balance.
Personally, I do feel a twinge of sadness that we weren't included in your final extravaganza. Still, we managed to find other PvP training opportunities for our students this weekend.
I'll be watching out to see what the post-nerf Privateers gets up to. Good luck!

Lol im glad I was so memorable you remembered a convo I had with you three weeks ago It was obviously a joke - sometiems i like to play up to our image for a laugh :) Everyone knows i get pwned by noobs
You would have been wardeced there was a problem with wardeccing a few alliances in the 24 hour cool off period - plus a coupel of odd bugs popped up.
Sorry about the ratting time :(

Well we thought the biggest wardeccing ever seen in game or will ever be seen in game was worth an announcement - and the COAD is the place to put it.
Yeah well we aimed to have fun and have a laugh. I like the way you infer being in an 'alliance that actualy matters' means you dont have fun.

Wow Serious attitude problem. Get back under your bridge.
Yeah theres a war going on over who gets the prime bugged complexs or juicy roids or whatever floats your boat. Good luck to you with whatever side your on. I hope you are enjoying it. seriously i do.
I cant see how our avoidance of 10 hour POS bombardemnts and battles so laggy you cant even get in the system let alone fire should rile you so much?
One thing i did notice whilst deccing 140 alliances last night was how few actulay had a war dec on them already? Would have seemed to be the first thing i would have done in this 'war for the future' when you consider how much logistical stuff goes on thorugh empire.
Like some sort of weird old boys school corrupt cartel secret handshake thing going on.
We are involved in your war. Naming no names (many have not hired us so you wont know and never will knwo exaclty who) many of your alliances leaderships have been covertly hiring us to dec the others from day one.
Your leadership recongnised our uses (and our flaws) and worked out that we only needed to pop a battleship a week and that one less battleship shooting at them. All for 50 million. Considering the number of peeps we pop they had the sense to use us. You overlook that all the 'hauler killer' crud that is thrown at us by you guys is actually cargo that will filter up to the people firing at you.
But thats why they are leaders, they overlook forum trolling and biased opinions and see things as they are.

this may not appear unbaised but i assure you... i held this opinion long before privateers ever deced me.
i must agree that there are problems with 0.0 warfare. The lag is bad but then high sec isnt lag free either. The pos warfare is boring... but necissary.
but your solution was unacceptable. while i dont blame individual members for joining privs and enjoying your newly created version of 0.0 for yourselves i dispised the idea of being perma dec'd for no reason. Further that noobs and miners and those who ran missions in empire would be forced out of our communities to continue earning isk.
i can only call what you as an alliance did, greedy.
I have no doubt that there where some of you that did not camp jita 4 - 4 but by the same token your acceptance of anyone willing to fork out 50 mill a week landed you with some "questionable" to say the least members who would rarely leave jita. In their time in privateers i have no doubt they achieved their greedy goals and became vastly wealthy. at the same time gathering a level of hatered from the majority of eve that may have lead to this nerf.
However i'm glad you all got your little bit of fun while it lasted... but the effects on the larger community where not fair and never acceptable under any circumstances(dont ever try and say "we had inferior numbers" because the divisions caused by geographical locations on the eve map would never see many alliances work together to combat you. In individual battles you usualy had the larger numbers.)
i do hope you find fun pvp again but please... not at the expence of ballance in the game. Your signature <----- My awsome Sig

Originally by: Minigin this may not appear unbaised but i assure you...
To the contrary, in my opinion its the most balanced post youve had about us. As I said before - you can come out with very pertinant points, when its not shorouded in smack - but hey ill admit to indulging sometimes myslef when angry - and you were obviously 'passionate' about us.
'Our' newly created 0.0 was not ours. It was open to anyone to join in - no checking of employment history, no worries about sec status, no worres about skill points, no worries what you had for breakfast.
It was everyones 0.0 if they chose to indulge in it - and whilst i understand fully the point of view that not everyone is into pvp - any target was simply a click away from making themselves invunerable - by joining a noob corp. Corp ties and freindships could be easily kept with a chat channel (much as im told used to happen in the old days). We rarely if ever placed a dec on a small corp for longer then a week or so (and that would have been because of smack/loot thiefing or likewise). Ive lost count of how many mails ive got from small corps thanking us for gettign one over on people griefing them after paying us what they could afford for a dec. For the really poor ive kicked in for the dec myself.
I recognise we were also used occasionaly by 'griefers' but i think they were few and far between
Alliances who were decced should really be able to protect their guys - many did very succesfully. We were spanked by many. But often i would kill a guy when he had 30 alliance 'mates' withing three jumps - all ignoring his plight. These alliances deserve to go down.
In the abscence of the much vaunted and postponed 'factional' warfare - our business model provided the opportunity for the dissatisfied, the curious, the adventourous, the independantly minded and, indeed, some 'griefers' to participate in some of the bigest pew pew available.
The response from many of our enemys confirmed they were every bit us up for a fight as we were. Being able to fly around with your mates - with no fear of your expensvily fitted ship which you have flown 30 jumps being pwned by lag/a cap ship/a titan before you have had a chance to fire a weapon at best is far superior, at worst is an intersting alternative to 0.0 warfare.
Some were dissatisfied with our evasion tactics - i can understand that. We are vastly outnumbered so we dont do the meet youat the bikesheds for a fight routine. But rest assured - if there were no other WT about - we would always engage at fair odds. Some of us would look for fight where we were outnumberd - for the kick of it.If a single enemy ship came past a camp - it was toast to - dont get me wrong.
What I really detest - is the forum carebear whiners who have forced CCP to change this. First they came for the privateers and i said nothing.. then they came for me(or whatever that poem says)
Your smack posts have been often overly 'provocative' IMO - but you have also come looking for us in game to fight - and thats to your credit. I wish more did try to beat us in game... and not on some forum.

you make many good points and your case is well argued. i admit i tend to have a short fuse and it does tend to drag arguments askew however i believe that as ccp put it. "ballance needed to be restored." privs changed the game in a huge way, and while change isnt always a bad thing its not always welcome.
i do acknowledge that i may have been a little overcritical about privateers in general but i think the saying goes "a bad apple ruins a bunch" - and to me by accepting even a hand full of these oppertunist "griefers" privs ruined its name in the eyes of those who came accross these people.
i do wish you all the best post patch, and i hope you still get the chance to make youself felt in the community. But i think its good that now we dont all have to feal you all the time at the same time

Shame he is not gonna come back and try to troll this thread where even me and minigin are being nice to each other 
For those wondering at this severe attitude problem i checked our killboards. Seems he had a 1 v 1 interceptor battle on moday with one of our guys and lost some gistii and dread gurista fittings. Seems to have been podded a few times also. 
Luckily for him - the privateer alliance dont do 1v1 battles so he must still be flying around in his interceptor - and he wouldnt have felt the need to troll this thread so I wouldnt be responding to it so you are not reading this.

It's not the 900 other hostiles in the system, it's just you.

Anyway, Privateers rocked. Creative and fun adaptation to the game environment. They deserve a lot more credit then they get. They mattered a whole lot more than a bunch of chest-thumping 0.0 small fry like to think.

There's no more time for hiding in stations, no more time for logging and running. it's stand up and fight time. no matter what the odds. A lot of us came a long way to say goodbye to the Privateer way of life, and I guess it gets frustrating for them when noone seems to want to fight.

The constant war decs from the Privateers have certainly put a crimp on my regular empire operations, but something that mixes things up a bit and keeps the game fresh can never be bad. Fair play to you Privateers, I hope you find a way round the new fees, and I hope I get to rip you a new one in the next few days. -------------

Wow Serious attitude problem. Get back under your bridge.
Yeah theres a war going on over who gets the prime bugged complexs or juicy roids or whatever floats your boat. Good luck to you with whatever side your on. I hope you are enjoying it. seriously i do.
I cant see how our avoidance of 10 hour POS bombardemnts and battles so laggy you cant even get in the system let alone fire should rile you so much?
One thing i did notice whilst deccing 140 alliances last night was how few actulay had a war dec on them already? Would have seemed to be the first thing i would have done in this 'war for the future' when you consider how much logistical stuff goes on thorugh empire.
Like some sort of weird old boys school corrupt cartel secret handshake thing going on.
We are involved in your war. Naming no names (many have not hired us so you wont know and never will knwo exaclty who) many of your alliances leaderships have been covertly hiring us to dec the others from day one.
Your leadership recongnised our uses (and our flaws) and worked out that we only needed to pop a battleship a week and that one less battleship shooting at them. All for 50 million. Considering the number of peeps we pop they had the sense to use us. You overlook that all the 'hauler killer' crud that is thrown at us by you guys is actually cargo that will filter up to the people firing at you.
But thats why they are leaders, they overlook forum trolling and biased opinions and see things as they are.
SKUNK
One of the best responses I've ever read on the forums. People have no idea how much PRIV's did to either escalate or conclude ongoing wars. I would venture to guess not even PRIV's know. But one thing is for certain, though no 'respectable' 0.0 alliance wants to admit it...while all you boys were doing "REAL MAN" pvp 0.0 (spending hours killing pos's and blob warfare), it was the Privateers who disrupted the flow of goods through empire...and a substantial part of that was bought by YOUR isk.
Love us or hate us, the leadership of your cozy all-powerful 0.0 alliances realized the potential that was there and they took advantage of it. Though you condemn us on the forums, secretly, in the dark places of the universe where you can't talk about your outpost parties and death stars, you want us on that wall - you NEED us on that wall...
(Forgive my brief reference to Jack Nicholson's monologue in "A Few Good Men". For another analogy, refer to Nicholas Cage's monologue at the end of "Lord of War".)
Brilliant, Skunk...brilliant!

Aside from our many kills of combat ships - many of which would be on the 'eve war front line' firing on a few hours after, we have killed 28 freighters that I know of. And innumerable haulers. Thats a lot of gear gone up in smoke (and a lot in our pockets YARRR)- much of it heading out to the 'eve war' (if perhaps indirectly). One particular case had a large pos and fittings in heading for a system in 0.0 . As you say - we aint often in 0.0, but we certainly did/are effecting the balance of power out there - if not in the quantifieable same way as 'who owns this sytem' 'who killed what fleet'

Bad form on your part, NUTS may be a small and in your book a irrelevant alliance. But there is no need to start flame bait there. I will say this, we are still here. There were many alliances that started when we did and died quick, many of which seem to have held more promise.

That is hitting the nail on the head there.
Its all good though, I know a good fight or two will come. It seems my m8's lost a bit more though so far then what we have killed. Hope to turn that around on this campaign. http://kb.eve-nuts.com

So many war decs, yet noone is able to demolish the Privateers. Pretty much the opposite in fact, I believe all Privateers are having a blast. And if everyone posts their losses as they should, then Privateers are having a blast with a hell of a kill ratio!

We had 2 days of the fun but sadly had to pull out to attend to corp business, and boy we are gutted! At first it was impossible to move with 28 hostiles in Hek and many of them camping the station. Now I dont care what anyone says about fighting against all odds, but when you're in a 300mio ISK BS and there's 8 or 9 camping your station, quite simply put, if you launch knowing this your either stupid, rich, or both!
Once we did get out, it was fantastic fun. Just a shame that some of the 28+ hostiles called the 2 Privs in the system at the time 'cowards' for not launching lol.
Anyway, its been great flying in the Privs, and we're looking forward to being part of the new structure!

We took a little roaming squad yesterday as PA asked everyone to bring it. We roamed around in the high sec systems where we thought we would find them and after 1h roaming around we finally found a lilttle gatecamp. We killed the domi and the rest warped off but yeah in this case we had more ships than them so it was not a biggie.
We continued our trip through empire for another 1.5h hoping they would gather a nice fleet and try to gank us but during that time we only saw some lonely PA pilots docked in various systems. With the current lag in Jita we skipped that system which lead to the following question to the mighty PA: Where are you guys? Are the whole alliance camping Jita or where can we find you if you really want a nice fight?

Oh, I forgot to say, the reason i was given, as to why the losses arn't posted, i was told that withen privs, losses are joked about, and anyone that has a loss, and posted it, is made fun of.

I couldn't give a rats ass if they were bothered about posting losses or not.
I just don't see the point in making a big fuss about hugely inaccurate statistics. 27 losses sound right to you? me neither.  |

Personally I post all kills and all losses although I'm sure there are people not posting losses. Most alliances have a few like this, it's certainly not only PRIVS although I guess the problem maybe worse due to the free nature of the alliance.
I suppose it depends on what people joined PRIVS for, some are killmail *****s and losses deflate their epeens. I joined for some fun fights and losing can be fun to!!

Originally by: Uruko We took a little roaming squad yesterday as PA asked everyone to bring it. We roamed around in the high sec systems where we thought we would find them and after 1h roaming around we finally found a lilttle gatecamp. We killed the domi and the rest warped off but yeah in this case we had more ships than them so it was not a biggie.
We continued our trip through empire for another 1.5h hoping they would gather a nice fleet and try to gank us but during that time we only saw some lonely PA pilots docked in various systems. With the current lag in Jita we skipped that system which lead to the following question to the mighty PA: Where are you guys? Are the whole alliance camping Jita or where can we find you if you really want a nice fight?
//Uruko
The biggest problem we (Xizor) found is that due to the huge number of hostiles its very difficult to even get to where a gang might be forming. Many of us get locked down unable to move to a position were we can join up with others. Most of the main routes are camped. I would have loved to have gotten a PA fleet together, but reality makes it difficult. In the end we had to resort to hit and run type tactics and we still lost 3 ships in one night to superior numbers. Good fun though.

Our members are not required to do anything but not greig a corpie - this [plicy has also stood with the killboard. Many do not post at all. Our director chooses not to post any kills or losses (unless someone in a gang he is in wants it)for example - on the other hand many post religiously.Me personanly - i post em in bulk everynow and then.

I'm not chasing up loss-mails for you. I'm not your mother.
whether you post them or not is entirely your choice. but don't flout such impressive stats, knowing they aren't even vaguely accurate.
One of the flip sides of not having some nerd ordering you around and when and whether to post your losses is that you also dont get taxed, asked to create lag bombs, spend your paid-for eve time trying to get through gates and otherwise performing favours for self important Allinace big wigs who need fame/recognition or honour from a MMORPG to compensate for RL shortcomings.
This is a game that we in PA play for fun. We dont do it to demonstrate virual cahones or recieve binary adulation. As such neither Le Skunk or anyone else will be forcing people to post losses (Read ship setups - locations - Gang compositions) untill the person who laid the final blow decides to.
That said I posted all my loses except a borg loss due to stupidity, separate from any war decs.
CCP must decide how they want EVE to progress now, is there a place for non-capital fleet warfare in eve? Or do we all have to perform felatio on a few CEO's in order to experience the game as it was intended to be?

Admittedly, you're having a field day this week. and I'm enjoying being a part of it. I just feel gloating over ratio's is a little ridiculous, especially from a killboard that doesn't represent anything close to the real figures :P Like i said, nobody forces you boys to post, so be it. Most alliances etc post kills to get some kind of idea of how a conflict is progressing, and I recognise the need for that. (ignoring completely the chestbeating and competition bragging rights involved.)
Having had my little whinge about the killboard bragging , I gotta say, you boys/girls have some of the best attitudes towards this game, pure fun, smacktalk or no smacktalk. and I challenged one of your members to break the 50,000 kills mark this week. now THAT would be impressive. (he seemed keen )  |

Maybe because those alliances fighting in 0.0 actually face some risk to take a war to empire, because not just their enemies supply lines are there, but also their own supply lines are there. You see, believe it or not, some people(like 0.0 alliances, or smaller corps acting in empire) actually have, omfg, RISK to face when war deccing, to turn that risk into a reward they have to make accomadations for an empire war, which means they have to divert attention from the areas they actually care about.
Privateers just get free war decs, at no risk and having to make no accomdations as they're empire based, and it was an abuse of the system and nothing to be proud of, its like someone getting on here and gloating that they saved their pod once by logging out. So yeah, be proud of yourselves for taking on targets who have bigger fish to fry and could care less about you...real men indeed.

I know, I don't get it either. Having been a member of Privateers Corp and now in 0.0, it was a lot LESS safe in empire for me. 0.0 can be fun, but the whole "real men only PvP in 0.0" is just stupid.
Privateers was freedom to do what you want, fight how and when you want and have a blast. 0.0 isn't better, it's just different (and definitely more rules). While I like the corp I am with now a lot (good bunch of mates), I do miss the privateering way.

Again - seems like the bigger alliances are engaging in 'queensbury rules' - old school tie - jolly hockey sticks, 'not in the face' style tactics.
My comment was in response to the "the real war for eve is going on mannnnn" style comments. If this war was really so important, and from the smack ive witnessed it seems people are really 'passionate' about it -i would have thought cutting empire supply lines would be one of the things that would be a gimmie.
My first thoughts would be to establish an offshoot corp outside you alliance and get some of your pilots into it. Then dec the enemy without any risk to your own alliance. This corp can be recalled to 0.0 if neccesary to defend - but could spend time in tours of empire.
Dont get me wrong - i dont intend to tell you how to fight your war. But dont throw a fit when I question whats going on either 
Oh and Ive had risk. I lost nearly 100 ships. And ive had reward - a fun game and a couple of billion isk up overall in loot.

Oh and 13086 woke up in your new clone 
I was intending to post the results of the operation- to round off this thread - but the sorting facilty on our KB wouldnt allow specific dates to be entered. It was around 4000 kills i think this week.
Many pilots dont post kills or losses so the true kill figure I estimate would be about 15% higher. The losses I have not botherd to post as they are unreliable. As an estimate we got a maybee 4 - 1 kill loss ratio - but both are just estimates. Our previous killboard held a few thousand more kills before it was taken down - but that was Privater Corp kills only.
There were many opinions of us - and what we did. Hauler gankers, noob killers, Hardcore PvPers, always up for a 1v1, etc etc etc. These figures show that in truth, what we were doing was all of these - and more. Im proud of what we did - I think only in Eve would it be possible to have such a sudden and drastic effect on the whole game. I think a bit of Eve died with the nerf - first they came for the privateers - and then they came for you - but maybee im just being nostalgic 
I think the fact that 1 in 9 of you woke up in a new clone - his body left behind floating in space riddled with privateer ammo - has a lot to do with the bitter clamour for us to be nerfed.
For those of you who brought it - Respect. For our clients - Gracias. For those who have flown with us - Salute.
For those who prefer to fight on forums - 
Heres to the future.

Which brings to mind the question - what the hell is gonna happen to the markets. With 13000 clones popped over the last few months the implant market, which would have been inflated to a high mark, will crash, as nobody needs new ones?
The ship builders who have supplied, say 40,000 significant ships to us and those we vanquished - will have their profits smashed in. All those ships had modules in em -thats the t2 module market gonna suffer (even more then invention hit it) as well as the traders of these modules. And the ratters who put there stuff on the market.
I know I for one would often pay 30% over the odds for ships and modules just to get em quick without flying around half fitted. The amount of domis i was losing had an effect I could see on the station i was in in front of my very eyes.
Miners will be able to mine easier - so mineral prices might come down slightly due to volume But the reduced demand for ships and modules will dump them even lower.
Maybe it will somehow even itself out - but it could turn out to be that the nerf was a financial disaster for many of the carebears who were calling for the nerf 
Now THAT - would be ironic.

LOL i though you meant BS as in the stuff that droppeth from the cattles behinds.
Yeah would be intersting to find out.Seeing as they build most their stuff themselves though (i am told)I guess it wouldnt effect the empire carebears wallet as much. Especilay when you factor in all the BS we have lost as well as killed.

Congrats to PA, you guys may have been given a hard time on the Forums but your style of play will be missed for sure (not by many though ). It's an interesting point you raise regarding the Empire prices due to ship losses. Time will tell whether or not you had such an impact or not on the empire market. It's a shame you guys were nerfed, I think your idea was brilliant. It made Eve a little bit more interesting, you simply could not auto pilot 40 jumps. It brought PvP to the masses and to be honest, I don't think thats a bad thing.
You get all sorts of players in an Alliance, the station hugging gankers, the gate campers, the hualer gankers etc etc...sounds exactly like 0.0 . So for those people whinning they used those tactics, wake up and smell the coffee it's the same gargage in 0.0 and you know it. Someone said why shoot the shuttles, well they could have BPO's in them and it would have been blinking red you know you would shoot it if you had a chance in you home in 0.0.
Anyway good luck guys, I enjoyed the fights we had over the time you taught our Empire guys some good lessons and were a great tool for prepping them for 0.0 PvP mentality o7
