The most interesting thing about the ZS and DB1 situation is that it moved to mass POS spamming. It certainly threw us for a loop but we have adapted and strive to fight on.


Let me preface my next comments with the fact they are my own opinion and I do not speak for AWE or IRC as member of HC.

Now, as far as second guessing? Not in the least. Dragons Rage and AWE corporation built the two stations in ZS and DB1. As the ASCN war wound down we were in a "fight to the end" mode and as such left all of our assets in the area. The last days of the war happened very fast with most of ASCN taking deals to leave the area or having left the area earier.

An offer was made to keep our stations and as a result our rather large amount of assets, for a price in the billions of ISK per month. We essentially had a gun to our heads if we wanted to keep our assets. Our HC made the right call, pay the blood money until we can get ourselves organized enough to re-assert our sovereignty and stop paying the blood money. Our deal was simply to hand over ISK for living in our personally built stations, it never included a pledge of loyalty or some agreement that we would be part of "the BOB empire".

As anyone who has had a conquering enemy move in understands, when the opportunity to free yourselves shows up, you take it. We took ours. We knew BOB would come. There is no regret, none, regardless of how things turn out. We will not live as renters, slaves or meat shields. We have been fighting and will continue to fight to the last ship, POS and ISK. Win, lose or draw, IRC to a member understands that in EVE there are real consequences to choices and we fully accept them. It is what makes EVE great.

This weekend should prove to be interesting, good luck to all involved.

When ur mining in jita and all ur members have left and joined BOB empire I hope you don't regret ur decision.

As previously stated, BOB cannot be beaten.

Nice universe....

the future is bright, apparently its orange...
