The North Reloaded
Ladies and Gentlemen of EVE, it is with great pleasure tonight that I present to you the results of the Mercenary CoalitionĘs largest contract to date:
CLICK ME -->THE NORTH RELOADED<-- CLICK ME
Within you will find a detailed account of our activities and even commemorative wallpapers. We hope our client is satisfied with our performance and the casual reader enjoys it as well. Special thanks to Loxy for helping me pull all this together at the last minute.
Three months ago, if someone had told me that I would be sending this report as my ship sat safely outside of the station in BKG taking on suppliesą well, I doubt anyone would have believed it. The fact is that we never expected to be in the position we are today. In my eyes, it really came down to a question of will. We were relentless in our task of seeing this contract through. Our targets really left us no other choice.
It started out simple enough ū weĘd give BoB a hand here and there, maybe do a few Empire war decs and hope that somehow our client would be on the winning side. In the beginning, that was most certainly not a foregone conclusion. Then our priorities changed. ItĘs one thing to fight a war as a paid soldier, but when the war comes to your front door it changes your perceptions.
We knew that the possibility of MCĘs home space being attacked existed, but the reality of it actually happening awoke something inside my alliance that is hard to describe. I am, of course, referring to the attack upon our capital shipyards and the loss of a Mothership under construction there. It awoke a sense of purpose and a terrible anger. Far from being a ęwarning to stay out of itĘ, the Northern CoalitionĘs actions against us only lit the fires of vengeance in the eyes of MC pilots.
In less than a day, our priorities shifted. I informed our client that we would not be just ętagging alongĘ. IĘm not sure what Molle and the rest expected because, to be honest, we made most of it up as we went along. Like any smart client, BoB cut us loose and waited to see what would kind of return their investment would yield.
Our success is attributable to several factors, foremost in them being that the pilots of the MC believe in what we are doing in EVE. When we invaded P-2TTL there were no guarantees ū it was us against the North and we never blinked, not once. Our commanders, our logistic teams and our pilots are simply amazing and I take my hat off to each and every one of them.
Above all else, we owe a large part our success to the corps and alliances who saw what we were doing and willingly rallied to our banner. People IĘd never worked with or even spoken to put themselves fully under MC command. They put their own disputes aside and held up the ęAllianceĘ flag. They shared the risks, the defeats (there were a few) and the victories. You need not ask who they are as most of them are now prominently displayed on Joshua and PaladinĘs maps.
Victory Defined
In the last 143 days of combat operations, the MC sustained an 83.5% efficiency ratio with regard to ships. We speak not of our allies in the campaign, simply of ourselves.
Battleships: 1719 killed / 160 lost
Carriers: 36 / 10
Dreadnoughts: 36 / 7
Freighters: 8 / 0
Capsules: 4431 / 295
Large Starbases: 144 killed / 2 lost
Medium Starbases: 19 / 0
Small Starbases: 14 / 0
Motherships in Build: 2 killed / 1 lost
In eighty days the MC-led invasion of the North resulted in the takeover of twenty-three enemy stations and outposts and the displacement / destruction of nearly a dozen alliances, four of them major claimers of territory.

Its been so hard being semi-out of game for the last months, watching this unfold. Congratulations go out to all the people on all sides of the fences for the fights, the explosions, the debate and the fun.
Its been really interesting watching perceptions of the campaign change along the way.

Whatever side you're on, you can't deny that MC does it's job with class, precision and dedication. Even at that, they have something else that just plain puts them a cut above the rest (maybe the motherships).
GJ guys, that contract sounds like it was pretty grate.

This war got started but a few weeks after I joined the MC and Eternity, and it was everything I imagined it could be. I could say that I stayed up long hours, missed a few days at work to see this all through, but it would be a lie. Its great to be part of a team of people who can rely on each other to get things done.

A victory well-earned and (I hope) hard-fought. There's really no shame in being defeated by players with the resources, skill, and determination of the Mercenary Coalition, and I have to say that you people are wonderful to fight against - smack-free, honourable and challenging. Plus you all have cool sig pictures - that counts for a lot in my book.
So congratulations MC. I'd say you earned this victory in blood, plasma and ISK, even if the k/d ratio does make it look more like a cakewalk for your side....

It's been a hell of a ride and it's been a big test for our alliance.
MC could not have done this without all the other alliance that were with us in the various Regions. It's been great to be part of this accomplishment.

Flamers aside, Nice stuff.
This makes the third time DEFY have participated in some sort of MC-lead operation(9UY war, F4R IAC/ISS conflict, and now the north) and they always deliver when they're there. Its always good to fly with people who can enjoy their job and still produce results. Hell, if I didn't love my corp, I'd attempt to join.

good work MC, was fun flying on a few ops with you but...
your obsession with Buffy is disturbing, so you had this one coming:
Seleene: I touch the North and it freezes me
I look on to the map and it's black
Why can't I feel?
My Nyx should cr@ck and peel
I want the fire back.
Now, through the comms they call to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess it's all the same
So, I will fly through the fire
'Cause where else can I turn?
I will fly through the fire
And let it-
YouWhat: The torch I bear is scorching me
Seleene's laughing I've no doubt
I hope she fries
I'm free if that b.itch dies - I better help her out...
Northern Coalition: 'Cause she is drawn to the fire
Some people never learn
YouWhat (joining): She will never learn
YouWhat & Northern Coalition: And she will fly through the fire
And let it-
SirMolle: Will this do a thing to change her?
Am I leaving Delve in danger?
Have my Mercenaries too far gone to care?
Joshua Foiritain: What if Seleene can't defeat it?
Aftermath & M.Pire: Beady Eyes is right
We're needed!
Or we could just sit docked and stare
Chorus: We'll see it through
It's what we're always here to do
So, we will fly through the fire...
Seleene: So one by one, they turn from me
I guess my Allies can't face the cold
FATAL: What can't we face...
Seleene: But why I froze, not one among them knows
FATAL: ...if we're together?
Seleene: And never can be told
M.Pire: She came from the clone grave much graver
YouWhat: First, they'll pod her, then I'll save her
FATAL: Everything is turning out so dark
Seleene: Going through the motions
YouWhat: No, I'll save her, then I'll kill her
Sparta: I think this line is mostly filler
SirMolle: What's it going to take to strike a spark?
Seleene: These endless days are finally
Ending in a blaze
Chorus: And we are caught in the fire
The point of no return
So we will fly through the fire
And let it
Burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn!

One thing ill always remember is the week long lockdown of OE at the end. A lot of us never even left the system the whole week and were bored for hours on end.

It's a great write-up. It's also crashingly biased, glossing neatly over many (not all) negative details and puffing up the MC like a good brochure should. Which is fine of course, especially given ultimately the magnitude of their achievement, but those of us who were there (in Tenal's case, my dears, *are* there, whatever this glossy says) know better. Alas that none of us are as elegant writers, or as motivated to write, as Seleene is.

I think the real question in my mind is, if motherships weren't so inherantly broken with the current game mechanics, would MC have done so well?
If they were actually capable of losing their motherships, they might not of had the complete ability to *****the north's battleship heavy fleeets.

D2 had many more Mom's then us, 14 I think? Plus 2 Titans.
Mom's are a terror weapon. Most of the time we would have maybe 1-2 Mom's in a fight (if even that) but always had multiple Carriers. Moms are quite easy to take down with a well executed plan as shown by RA, ISS/LV and us. I know a few times we almost lost a Mom in this Campaign.
Mom's did not win this war . . . Terror in our Enemies, our willpower to fight on and the anger in our eyes and allies who were beat on for 2 months before hand won this war IMO.

Slight nit pick on the details concerning us.
Quote:
For the past couple weeks, Terror in the System and Triumvirate had been attempting to invade and take over OE-4HB. On at least one occasion, Alliance Motherships had jumped in to lend assistance but there was no formal relationship in place. As we continued to conquer Branch, TITS and TRI found themselves the focal point of the entire Northern resistance.
As TRI decided to pull out of the area, talks were opened with TITS
TRI was never at any point invading Tenal, we were there on a few major fleet nights and stayed in the vacinity to back up our then allies. Couple of weeks is a gross exaggeration. It was perhaps a couple of weeks by the time TITS had allied with the alliance formerly by which time TRI hadn't been in the area for a week plus.
TRI didn't pull out because we were never really there.

While I hate getting into tit-for-tat arguments here, I would have to point out that the north had no shortage of motherships.
Solely from my perspective, I think this war has cemented the status of capital ships in EvE. Carriers & Moms were long known to be the workhorse on which any large force was carried, but now they can be seen as the mighty cavalry and leading edge of any assault, capable of tipping scales when conventional forces are outnumbered. I am not saying in grid carrier fighting was pioneered here, but it lent itself to a scale never before seen.
And if Carriers are the cavalry and the workhorse, then the Dreads are artillery that makes or breaks soveriegnty. More than ever have I become convinced that its not the amount of towers you anchor, but how many dreads you deploy and how you will use them.
Some say that conventional ships are becoming less relevant. I believe nothing can be further from the truth. Without them carrier's targets would escape and dreads would be reduced to rubble. Cudos to Seleene and MC leadership for making it all work together in a great symphony we will not soon forget.

Didn't it take RAGOON the same amount of time to take over LV space? JW.
We took 45 days from the time we broke the POS NAP we had with LV until they had pretty much dissolved. I'm not even going to try and pretend that killing LV is equatable to killing D2 and their dozen allies. I doubt that the taking of Scalding Pass, Wicked Creek, Immensea, and LV's space is even really comparable frankly, and we took much longer to do that.
Was not even trying to compare it. Two different types of fights. I just thought that it was roughly the same amount time it took.
BTW get that damn bear back were it should be, when you qouted me you didn't do it right.

Great write up, though I missed many of the larger battles I enjoyed flying under MC command whenever I had the opertunity, the discipline, dedication, and cooperation shown by the dozens of corperations and alliances involved was simply amazing and has givin me huge amounts of respect for the leadership and brunt force the MC provided.
I joined PANIC seemingly just as the war really started kicking off with D2s attack on Fountain. Coming from a smallish low-sec corporation where we though raising a couple dreads, a few carriers, and a 15 battlships was a massive blob like fleet the scale of this type of warfare is amazing, and it was quiet crazy to find myself in the middle of it. The past 3 or so months have been some of the most fun parts of my EVE life.

Congratulations to the MC, a well won contract, was really entertaining following your progress and every now and then opening the map to see the geography change yet again.
You guys have really shown the force that you can bring to bear, probably like that of no other alliance. You really deserve the due kudos your victories will not be quickly forgotten.
And damn I hope you were well paid...

Awesome report grats on a good campaign, enjoyed flying with u -again.
I must agree with Phrixus on what he said. I was personally involved in the Tenal adventure (all aspects) and u depict it wrong.
We lend assistance but were never invading and certainly never for a few weeks. T!ts was forced to NAP and find additional allies cuz they couldnt do it alone and TRI was never ever committed to take Tenal space and claim a outpost.

Well who cares anyhow, its no more than a footnote, Hip Hip For the MC and excellence in combat!

I would have to say after fighting night after night with the late night crows that MC's motherships are in fact not the deciding factor in there puching the northern alliances out. I have lost alot of ships to them and have taken some but all in all they execute there plans very well and there support is wuite percistant in its determination to keep fighting. After killing the same intercepter pilot 2 times in the same night he was back with T1 frigs still tackling for the larger ships. I was just a pure miner before this whole thing brought itself to my doorstep but it was a fun fight with very honerable adversaies. My hat goes off for you for a very exectuted game plan on your part and some of the funnest times i have had in eve. Even though i am still trying to piece together my pod.

I'm not suggesting you wouldn't of won, you used your resources way better than D2 ever could hope for. I'm ex d2 and fully aware how they are at using their potential.
I just don't think MC would of had such an easy win if motherships were actually balanced.

Good to see ISSN's favorite angry Scotsman continues to do what he does best.
I've long felt that if i was to leave ISS, it would be to apply to MC, not because they win, but because they do their job so well. I would love to learn from such a great and focused group of people.
MC provides the hard hitting shock troops, and excellent planning, but none of it is possible without reliable and willing corps/alliances to help them with support and such.
Well played MC, and congrats on taking MC Borealis in the bargain.

For my part I honestly had no idea how this whole cluster fux would turn out in the end. I knew we'd have a solid run. I knew we'd give our best just like always. I didn't know how much firepower and determination the other side was going to bring. As just another grunt it was a bit unnerving to see the story unfold while just trying to ride through it.
The MC gained so much during the course of this war. It goes way beyond the victories or the stations or the fanfare. Our gains are much cooler.
Our then newest corp, Eternity, had just finished its growing cycle as well as its growing pains. They were then dumped into a trial by fire the likes of which not many in EVE can say they've gone through. These guys passed their stress test with flying colors. If anyone doubted that an MC born and raised corp could make it they only have to look to Eternity for proof. These guys kick as much ass as any other MC corp. Keep a close eye on them. ;)
SERA. Who the hell are these guys? To be honest I had no idea when I first met them. First impressions combat wise were along the lines of "Holy hell these guys are nuts.". Afterwards there's an internal thread "So what do you think of these guys?" quickly followed by a "We're giving them a trial run in the MC.". It's funny, you can hang out with people for years and not know them. Fight along side someone on the other hand and you get to know them very quickly. These guys are hardcore and impressive to watch in action. I'm very, very happy to welcome SERA to the family. :D
I've seen new FC's come out of no where and take the reigns of not only MC pilots but allied pilots as well. In the year plus I've been in the MC there hasn't been a single time that I haven't trusted our fleet commanders with my ship. That is probably the single biggest compliment I can possibly give you regarding your performances. You guys inspire those under your command and it doesn't go unseen.
We've gained a wealth of knowledge over the course of the war that you simply can't put an ISK value on. Logistics, capital warfare, anti capital warfare, communications, fleet tactics ... the list just keeps going. We may be good at what we do but we're always learning, always adapting and always trying out new things out just because they haven't been done before. The phrase "fight smarter, not harder" comes to mind and it's something that rings true in this alliance.
Finally this campaign (like many others before it) took all of these elements and tempered them into a harder, stronger element than it was before. I'm looking forward to seeing what is next in store for us.
To all of our allies I would like to thank you for putting your trust in us and for laying it on the line damn near every day for weeks on end. I hope you guys keep the fire burning and defend what you all fought hard for.
To those we fought against I would like to thank you also. For keeping us on our toes, for bringing some seriously epic battles and for keeping the fights smack free. I honestly wish you guys good luck in your futures.
Anyway, enough rambling from me. 0_o7

God where to start.
Just before i joined MC i nearly quit because i was bored as hell, but when i got in here and i got sent north i found what i like doing alot more,KILLING! but at the same time i was happy to fight people that were kind and honorable in return.
I would like to thank all the people we have been fighting over the last 2 months and its really changed how i play.
I would like to thank The other alliances that helped us as well up here, without you guys this would have been hard to do.
Also a small thanks to Nubiam for telling me to go to sleep beause i was to hooked up on killing stuff! (5am is a bit late tho >.> )
Ps. Grats you guys in SERA =) you may be small but you sure as hell know what your doing and i cant wait for the next contract that you guys are on with us =).

This just shows how overpowered a capitalblob is. Considering how much space changed owners, there wasn't that much fighting.
Piling up so many caps needs diminishing returns, Revelations 2 won't help at all.

But I thought MC wouldn't even consider offers from clients that did not come to them with a well thought out plan? 
have the train try and blow up another super capital and see what you get.

Did we take your main's space? So sowwy.
At any rate, there was a plan. Circumstances changed, however, and we came up with a new plan to meet the circumstances that gave us a personal stake to add on top of the professional one we already had. BoB leadership simply decided that it was worth our fee to let us take an enormous risk with potentially huge returns. Pity that didn't work out...

It's a great write-up. It's also crashingly biased, glossing neatly over many (not all) negative details and puffing up the MC like a good brochure should.
Biased? Hell yes. This is the story from our perspective, told in a manner to provide both entertainment and a sense of accomplishment. However, I did try to convey a sense of the desperation we felt in the beginning and awe at the sheer magnitude of the task we were presented with. It wasn't all roses by any means and there were several times when the odds we faced and the time involved had many of us questioning our sanity / commitment.
While I would have loved to try to write things up from another pespective it would be an insult to those we fought against to try to surmise their feelings on the war. What's more, I simply ran out of time and energy. The section on Branch and Tenal could have been fleshed out a bit more but, then again, so could a few other chapters as well.
All in all, I figured after a week of working on this thing on an off it was just time to post the damn thing.
Originally by: Phrixus Zephyr
TRI was never at any point invading Tenal, we were there on a few major fleet nights and stayed in the vacinity to back up our then allies.
TRI didn't pull out because we were never really there.
M8, my telling of the tale may simplify certian happenings but that's mainly due to time contraints. I hope you didn't take offense to anything written. I'm aware of TRI's role in what happened and how they played their cards.
Honestly, this report could have easily been twice as long with much more detail and background on certian events. Perhaps the next time we embark upon such a venture I'll make it a point to take some time and write things up on the fly a bit more.

The fleet support commander (you know who you are) is the best FC i have ever had the pleasure of working with. I'll never forget hearing u say "I want my lights and my lights only, to jump through and kill those battleships" And the contests??? LOL brilliant
Would do it again, any time, anywhere.
Thank you for the experience MC. Oh and of course the new house

Huge welcome to our new brothers in SERA. As fine a group as any in eve.
Many thanks to the alliances that fought side by side with us day in and day out. We could not have done it without your help and dedication.
To our foes, thanks for making the past few months all the fun that it was. It takes two (at least) to tango in this game and you folks danced well.

Well done to MC and all the alliances that took part. Having been an Alliance grunt on the ground for parts of Deklein, Branch, and Tenal, I have to say I was absolutely astounded by the pace, the relentlessness and the sheer effort that MC and allies put in to steamroll over the north like that. The energy was infectious!

Hi All
I'd just like to echo the comments from other Fatal members. I've lost about 9 ships so far I think and had an absolute blast flying with our friends in the North. I'd like to thank all the FC's. They know who they are, they are very very good indeed.
I'd also like to thank RzR and D2. I was sorry to see D2 fold, I don't think an alliance biting the dust is ever good. I hope they continue to bring the fight (I'm sure rzr will, their destroyer fleet of doom last night was funny as hell). I hope to see you in space and enjoy some smack free action soon
Cheers
Daco.

It was a hell of a time flying with you guys the few times I got to in this campaign.
You guys have come a long way since the first days I faced your pilots, back in the early days of ASCN. Then you were an auxiliary gank force, most contracts being empire wars, considered an annoyance (though not a small one) rather than a real threat. This campaign has certainly cemented your growing reputation as one of the most efficient, coordinated, and strongest fighting forces in Eve.
I look forward to flying with or against you in the future.

Nice write up and looking to the conclusion awesome work and victory.
But what will be next will MC be the north concord to protect the new entities or will a time will come for the new entities to prove themselves to protect their new regions from other alliances which want to take a 0,0 place or old alliances take tomorrow what they built up yesterday.
Will MC take care of the conquered regions defence further this point ? Or have a plan of carrying his homebase to North ?
Also an other question is if a corp or alliance or a grou of alliances (no matter ) can pay MC well enough would they write a new histroy in EVE by conquering BOB space.
Now North is like the middle Europe after prestoroika many little entities that have space and also other entities having thought of they had rights on those regions to take back ?
If i form an alliance and want to invade North to have a region for my alliance what will i face with a NAP fest of alliances with the support of MC and BOB or will i face with the owner alliance/alliances

Everyones very impressed but I'm even more astonished by the Northern alliances lack of vision and inability to effectively use there cap fleet. Though it may have something to do with this:
Cell phones woke people from their beds and over the next 48 hours the MC went home en masse.

This is the 1st time i have used cap ships in anger and when we got the call to move to Lxw i promptly bought a Moros (thanks waywatcher) and got it to Lxw ready (well i thought it was ready). I joined my 1st ever cap ships fleet and assisted the rest of the alliances in putting Pos into reinforced at the same time wondering wth is siege time 9 ??? then to top that off on the jump out i go to the wrong cyno and find myself under fire from a friendly pos. All in all not the best start for a new dred pilotgod knows what the fc was thinking.
My next experience was stoppng the assault on a tower as a large hostile force was incoming and to change to carriers wtf ??. Having done so we were cyno'd onto the gate in the middle of a very large hostile force . Much fighting ensued but thanks to some excellent Fc'ing we held the field.
Thanks mc for the training :) the fun on ts and the awesome FC'ing and for not screaming at the noob dred pilot
Respect

It was slightly dramatized though.
48 hours is "rushing" it in MC terms, but we've deployed in under 24 hours before. All it takes is a couple of people that are almost always online at nights to put some cyno chars in place and be online the next two nights and a post on the forum for capital ships so they know when to log on, how many topes and from there on it's a go.
The way Seleene put it makes it a lot more heroic though! Cellphones, yarr! :)

Great contract with alot of fun - this war had everything! Small skirmishes with small gangs, medium sized encounters and hughe fleet battles. This war is right up there together with the very best memories I have from Eve.
Big kudos to all the FCs who tirelessly kept on going OP after OP, and to all the pilots who fought for so long without hardly ever complaining or looking back.

I have to say thanks to MC for an amazing experience.
During the fight for Fade I learned countless new tactics and strategies.
Then for the time I was in Branch I had the pleasure to be Fc'ed by Nubiam, whos competitions (janus rake anyone? )
relieved the boring 'waiting-for-hours-on-end-in-a-pos' part of the campaign.
It was a plearue to fly with you guys

One of the more amusing parts of this war for me was when we we're attacking an offline FLA POS the support gang we're brought in to speed up the attack, someone decided my nag looked like the minmatar control tower and spent a good 2 minutes shooting me before I mentioned if they would mind hitting the tower and now me
Oh and FLA get the award for most colourful POS setups

Flying alongside MC pilots, is something i am sure many of the alliances pod pilots will remember, as a learning experience, an experience in patience, an experience of expert fcing, an experience in writing Haiku's while camping gates for hours, and simply put - as an experience itself.

We speak not of our allies in the campaign, simply of ourselves.
Battleships: 1719 killed / 160 lost
Carriers: 36 / 10
Dreadnoughts: 36 / 7
Freighters: 8 / 0
Capsules: 4431 / 295
Large Starbases: 144 killed / 2 lost
Medium Starbases: 19 / 0
Small Starbases: 14 / 0
Motherships in Build: 2 killed / 1 lost
In eighty days the MC-led invasion of the North resulted in the takeover of twenty-three enemy stations and outposts and the displacement / destruction of nearly a dozen alliances, four of them major claimers of territory.
If you dont include your allies your stats are false and therefore a lie which is surprising from MC.
However, how do you call this a victory when you are the biggest entity in eve (bob, mc, fatal, tri, axe and a whole host of losers)? While you hide behind bob, etc your achievements are meaningless, grow a pair and cut the leash, or join BoB otherwise STFU
Bitter much?
First of all why would they include other entities that have helped them out? There not MC's stats are they? No. If the other entities decide to make a report on there attack on the north I am sure they will include there stats for you.
The alliance was not the biggest entity in the game the coalition WAS at the start of this " great war ". MC have no need to hide behind bob, they where hired to do a job, they did it and did it well how exactly is that hiding behind bob? Infact I think the only people from bob who went up north where an RKK roaming gang and a titan now and again. The capitals behind d2, rzr, MM etc was a capital fleet much larger than MC but yet MC had the balls to actually use theres.

All weekend DoSing the forum server hitting F5, and Sel posts 4 minutes afer I logoff.
Fantastic work - raises the bar for these kind of reports.
The game at this level is 100% a sandbox, and we all combine to create the game content we pay for.
The past few months have been intense, and sometimes insane. They've also been the most fun I've had in the game.
With that in mind I must thank the guys below for providing this game content:
- My corp mates in Eternity, and alliance mates in MC. Is always an honour flying with you, look forward to the next one.
- Our FCs. You guys know who are you. You number amongst the best in the game. <3.
- Our allies in AXE, F4T4L, Corellum, ****, TRI, RIOT, YW, without whom this could not have happened.
- Our "enemies". Eve's a lot more fun when you are shooting at people / people are shooting at you, so I must thank our reds, those guys who played the Indians to our Cowboys. D2, RZR, FLA, Sparta. Thank you for the fights and the memories. It wouldnĘt have happened without you.
Now? Primary is Kaikka Puenato, and his evil legions

You can joke about it all you want, but considering that in the past most entities have been flamed for just posting their own stats and not including any of their allies (which MC used plenty during this campaign if I understand correctly), why would MC somehow be immune to that? I recall John McCreedy being flamed for just posting EDF stats which turned out skewed because EDF was just one corp in ASCN. In a similar vein, MC here was 'just one alliance' among quite a few alliances on their side.
Now that is not to say that MC provided anything but a stellar performance, but if you post these kinds of statistics for only one part of the Alliance, then the simple fact remains that your stats will be skewed and I would consider it only logical that people point that out.
I bet if we post the stats for only your corp, Eternity INC., it will show that your performance as a corp is even better than the performance of MC as a whole, why not do that?

Congratulations to a very well planned and executioned campaign.
Just from my own perspective the WAR was lost in the battlefields of Fountain/Delve, but if this campaign would never happened D2 would still exist and the face of the north would still be the same, so, dam nice work from MC+Allies.
Just one remark regarding the Jita Express: none of the northern alliances is in Jita or in Empire

We speak not of our allies in the campaign, simply of ourselves.
Battleships: 1719 killed / 160 lost
Carriers: 36 / 10
Dreadnoughts: 36 / 7
Freighters: 8 / 0
Capsules: 4431 / 295
Large Starbases: 144 killed / 2 lost
Medium Starbases: 19 / 0
Small Starbases: 14 / 0
Motherships in Build: 2 killed / 1 lost
In eighty days the MC-led invasion of the North resulted in the takeover of twenty-three enemy stations and outposts and the displacement / destruction of nearly a dozen alliances, four of them major claimers of territory.
If you dont include your allies your stats are false and therefore a lie which is surprising from MC.
However, how do you call this a victory when you are the biggest entity in eve (bob, mc, fatal, tri, axe and a whole host of losers)? While you hide behind bob, etc your achievements are meaningless, grow a pair and cut the leash, or join BoB otherwise STFU
Normaly after much sweating and thrashing around I would offer to share a post coital cigarette?
Edit: Spelling
You can joke about it all you want, but considering that in the past most entities have been flamed for just posting their own stats and not including any of their allies (which MC used plenty during this campaign if I understand correctly), why would MC somehow be immune to that? I recall John McCreedy being flamed for just posting EDF stats which turned out skewed because EDF was just one corp in ASCN. In a similar vein, MC here was 'just one alliance' among quite a few alliances on their side.
Now that is not to say that MC provided anything but a stellar performance, but if you post these kinds of statistics for only one part of the Alliance, then the simple fact remains that your stats will be skewed and I would consider it only logical that people point that out.
I bet if we post the stats for only your corp, Eternity INC., it will show that your performance as a corp is even better than the performance of MC as a whole, why not do that?
First of all Seleene makes it clear in the OP (see what you quote) what the statistics represent. There is no need to "point it out". The comment was therefore, in fact, an opinion that the statistics are "false and therefore a lie", which implies that they are not representative of our performance.
King Fury would, perhaps, have been interested in all of the northern alliances' performance, but regrettably this is an MC contract summary and report, and therefore the numbers presented only involve us. Whether or not the numbers would be more impressive (which itself is a matter of point of view: ratio or total number of kills for example) we don't know, because that is irrelevant. Furthermore, consolidating data from several killboards would in all probability lead to less accuracy. And vice versa someone could then contest that the numbers presented do not represent our performances because there are others involved.
Therefore the accusation of us lying is without basis and uncalled for. Everyone can interpret the stats the way they see appropriate.

I went to the north and all I got was this epic fight
Seriously, this was an incredible contract, and without a doubt the largest and most involved contract ever. I went from an auxiliary support FC that did some POS ops in my dread to one of our Mothership pilots, terrorizing BKG and LXWN.
I have two groups to praise for this contract: First, our fantastic leaders who helped organize this whole thing, and our allies who saw this as an opportunity to change the political landscape of Eve. I also have a ton of respect for our enemies who fought well for their homes.
Nice Alliance. We'll kill it.

In most threads you will always find some that claw through a pile of crap to find a piece of corn and after eating it convince themselves they have eaten their vegies for the day.
The MC stats are just that, stats to give you a general idea. Everyone has access to everyone elses KBs so go find out for yourselves if you really want to know exact numbers and try in utter disbelief to discredit what MC and allies have accomplished here ... just wash your hands when your done.
Stats or not, in the end it really comes down to this ... ... the North is SPLAT!! The Alliance is still alive and kicking the CRAP out of the enemy for them to bathe in afterwards.
The OP's before and after maps shows that perfectly. Good contract results MC

I didn't call it lying. I'd call it presenting a table with known flaws. Working a lot with statistics, one becomes acutely aware of how flawed they really can be. Or in other words, with a lot of statistics its very hard NOT to 'lie' when you present them unless you are willing to write a whole book with tables, explanations and disclaimers.

Do not speak the name of the beast McCreedy too often, lest he rise up and show his face where it is unwanted!
Flaming in this case is just silly. MC and friends won, and they didn't just win a fight where you can pick apart stats on who killed what, they UTTERLY DOMINATED. They were the alpha and the omega. This is a postmortems not a battle report. Its not up to selenee to look at everyones KB in every fight to see how many non-MC ships went down in a 4 month period.
McCreedy was using the stats to show somehow that EDF was 'beating' BoB. It was HOW he used them that was flamed, anyone with a brain knows how KB stats can be skewed.

I was not referring to you. I apologise if it seemed that way.
The point is, the statistics are there without ambiguity of what they represent. The accusation that they are intentionally chosen to be represented that way for bias lacks evidence and argumentation.

This is an excellent piece of history. Im not agreeing with the content completely but I can understand why you would only post your own stats. All history is written with a level of subjectivity, a level of abstraction. I do not condemn this piece because it too is subjective, rather I condemn those who would assume that it should be gospel. It is up to the readers to make of it what they will, to juxtapose this with other "reports" to garner something approaching historical "fact". What I can say is that you should be proud of the quality of the report. Despite the fact that we are currently in opposite trenches in this virtual no-mans-land, this "great war", I have nothing but admiration for this work. It is the dedication we see in this work that makes eve so enjoyable. If this level of dedication filters through to your commitment in game, than its no wonder you were so successful. Hats off to you.
See you on the battlefield to write the next piece of history

Your campaign was truly amazing and will go down in eve history as one of the greatest victories ever. This campaign seemed to take your whole alliance to a higher level.

Why are people so concerned about stats?
The stats don't quite matter folks, its the actual 'job' done by MC and allies that matters. The fact that they dismantled and took over the lands of the northern coalition is what matters. The stats are just for viewing pleasure.
Good job to MC and allies, I must say that was quite speedy ;o

Nice write up and looking to the conclusion awesome work and victory.
But what will be next will MC be the north concord to protect the new entities or will a time will come for the new entities to prove themselves to protect their new regions from other alliances which want to take a 0,0 place or old alliances take tomorrow what they built up yesterday.
Will MC take care of the conquered regions defence further this point ? Or have a plan of carrying his homebase to North ?
Also an other question is if a corp or alliance or a grou of alliances (no matter ) can pay MC well enough would they write a new histroy in EVE by conquering BOB space.
Now North is like the middle Europe after prestoroika many little entities that have space and also other entities having thought of they had rights on those regions to take back ?
If i form an alliance and want to invade North to have a region for my alliance what will i face with a NAP fest of alliances with the support of MC and BOB or will i face with the owner alliance/alliances

Are they still hostile to BoB?
Have the negotiated a settlement?
Any details please.
Yes, we (Morsus Mihi) are still hostile to BoB as they are still hostile to us.
Morsus Mihi negotiated nothing with anyone among the forces arrayed against us.
We fully expected to be the next to receive MC's thoughtful attention and were prepared to fight for our space. Apparently, we have a short reprieve.

In my humble opinion, The Band of Brothers now has an equal in this universe of ours.
Good work to all MC pilots, from top to bottom. You were the backbone of the attack on the north that pushed D2, Iron and so many others aside with ease. I hoped one day, I would be the one taking back BKG, the heart of the North. Fate did not work that way, but I can honestly say I am just as happy to see MC have her now, and cannot think of any other group that deserves it so much.

Who cares about what went wrong, or right, or statistics, or what they represent, when looked at under the harsh light of the sun, on the 38th of Febtober...
The simple fact of the matter is that MC, coupled with a handful of eager corps, did... exactly what they did.
As far as how they did it, what they did right, or whatever, it isn't magic.
A grunts tale:
I came into the war on the tail end of it. No, it wasn't bandwagoning; it was actually a critical make/break moment of my future in EvE. It was either do something, or find a new game. So I rolled the dice, and landed smack into the thick of things.
The first time I ganged in a fleet capacity with the Northern Alliance, was in LXWN; I got a few tackles in, pinched a few killmails, and just because I find the star-map fascinating, managed to voice up about a new cyno up, two systems away. Instead of getting berated, or called a nub for trying to rely on something like that for intel, the FC for our particular gang had it checked out, and hello Janus Drake...
One enyo later, we were in BKG, and the FC had gotten themselves into a bind, so a small gang went out to get him out. They got him clear, but got trapped themselves by a counter gang. That particular FC, if I recall, grabbed <generic tech 1 ship> threw together a new gang, and we rolled right back into the lions den, not because someone was flying something valuable... but because it was "the right thing to do" Needless to say, every pilot who went in, came out.
S-EVIQ was, in my mind, the culmination of what made MC so successful. The fine folks in S-EVIQ *knew* we were coming, and had prepared a fine welcoming party for us. The FC at the time (I think it was Nubiam) layed out a very simple, precise plan for the tackling group, and when everything was set, we crashed the gate. We were outnumbered, and outmaneuvered initially, but the clear, calm manner in which targets were called provided the edge in that particular encounter. I found out what primary by Alpha meant, as I was primaried on at least four different occasions just at the initial gate fight.
I probably could have left at any time after that night. My ship was on fire; I was out of railgun ammo, AND missiles (how you run out of missiles on a single launcher enyo I have no idea, but it happened)...
My little fire engine red ship burned... for four days. (I've since retired it, fittings and all.)
Yes, there are more places, but that isn't the crux of the tale. See, I had no vengeful need, no dark desire to crush X, Y, or Z. So why in the hell would I risk my cash, time, and nerves, for the pursuit of so-called "justice"? There are multiple reasons; listed below...
1. There was no caste system, no "elite squad" no clique gangs. When you flew, you flew with skilled, and well equipped people. Because of that, even though there wasn't a ranked system, non-MC folks brought their personal best to the field with them.
2. FC's listened; chided where necessary, and knew the value of praise, and understanding. In other words, the FC's were genuine leaders. Flying with them, you didn't want to let them down.
3. Risk: MC risked as much (or more) than those who flew with them. They put it on the line, even when they didn't need to.
4. Micromanaging, where needed. Gate Camping is horribly boring. The FC's/Leaders were constantly on the move balancing forces on each gate, and herding the "wrong" ships off the grid. During the gate camping in BKG, the FC's should have been given brooms and dustpans. That's how tidy they were.
So yeah, not magic at all really. They have a great attitude, excellent leaders, and when you fly next to them, you bring out your best. Because they do. And you risk it all for them. Because you know they will do the same in turn.
So a fine salute to MC. It was awe-inspiring to fly with/next to you, and I hope we get to do it again in the future.

We speak not of our allies in the campaign, simply of ourselves.
Battleships: 1719 killed / 160 lost
Carriers: 36 / 10
Dreadnoughts: 36 / 7
Freighters: 8 / 0
Capsules: 4431 / 295
Large Starbases: 144 killed / 2 lost
Medium Starbases: 19 / 0
Small Starbases: 14 / 0
Motherships in Build: 2 killed / 1 lost
In eighty days the MC-led invasion of the North resulted in the takeover of twenty-three enemy stations and outposts and the displacement / destruction of nearly a dozen alliances, four of them major claimers of territory.
If you dont include your allies your stats are false and therefore a lie which is surprising from MC.
However, how do you call this a victory when you are the biggest entity in eve (bob, mc, fatal, tri, axe and a whole host of losers)? While you hide behind bob, etc your achievements are meaningless, grow a pair and cut the leash, or join BoB otherwise STFU
Bitter much?
First of all why would they include other entities that have helped them out? There not MC's stats are they? No. If the other entities decide to make a report on there attack on the north I am sure they will include there stats for you.
The alliance was not the biggest entity in the game the coalition WAS at the start of this " great war ". MC have no need to hide behind bob, they where hired to do a job, they did it and did it well how exactly is that hiding behind bob? Infact I think the only people from bob who went up north where an RKK roaming gang and a titan now and again. The capitals behind d2, rzr, MM etc was a capital fleet much larger than MC but yet MC had the balls to actually use theres.
I know of several mixed gangs, the point stands the stats are tainted and are therefore incorrect.
MC always has been and always will be BoBs pet, they can fight on there own but still like to hide behind bob, they must have one hell of a deal and be happy to be second best to Burn Eden and KIA, who actually have the balls to remain an indepedent entity.

2nd second best behind Burn Eden and KIA wounld make em 3rd best at least when i was in school

At the start of this war, when the Coalitions train was assembled, the numbers (accounts not players) stacked up like this,
Coalition - 26445
BoB & Allies - 12723
Figures taken from this thread Linkage and were correct on 10/03/2007.
Those numbers have obviously change now (I should really run them again just to see how much they changed) as alliances and corps have fallen, on both sides. However at the start of the campaign the Coalition had over a 2-1 advantage in terms of accounts, so to rubbish MC's achievements because they are now part of the biggest entity is pretty stupid.

This campaign was also the first time I had used my shiny new capitals ships in anger, I had expected for the dread to sit there for months.
Instead when the call came to work under MC up north it was in trepidation, how would a newly hewn capital pilot fare against the capital fleets of the north? I have to tell you I fully expected to lose both the dread and carrier within the first week.
I cannot tell you however overjoyed I was at what we accomplished under the leadership of MC and I must thank Mynas Atoch, Seleene and Waagaa for keeping my cap ships alive and well and for their excellent leadership.
While I have flown under MC before (under different guises) this was the first I had been with them in a major campaign and would like to thank them and all the allies in showing me how warfare 'should' be conducted in Eve.
True Professionalism at it's finest.
Thank you MC and thank you Fatal.

Great report, as usual - thank you Seleene.
I really enjoyed the P-2TTL portion - I kept thinking "I was there.. Yup.. I was there when we undocked from the station.." (I was in CORE. at that time). I still don't know how my scorpion made it out of there alive that day, but it was epic!

Exceptional write up - reading that post makes you realise why this game is so unlike anything else.
Congratulation to MC for a well played campaign.
Read this makes me wonder if I should not cease my break from the game and rejoin my corporation assisting MM.

TRI was never at any point invading Tenal, we were there on a few major fleet nights and stayed in the vacinity to back up our then allies.
TRI didn't pull out because we were never really there.
M8, my telling of the tale may simplify certian happenings but that's mainly due to time contraints. I hope you didn't take offense to anything written. I'm aware of TRI's role in what happened and how they played their cards.
Honestly, this report could have easily been twice as long with much more detail and background on certian events. Perhaps the next time we embark upon such a venture I'll make it a point to take some time and write things up on the fly a bit more.
I understand that you had to scrimp on detail to save space. My gripe however is the picture you paint of us "attempting to take Tenal for two weeks before MC came to the rescue" is false and looking at the wording, deliberate.
Now you have all the reason in the world to blown your own trumpet, i'd just rather the one and a half paragraphs where we're mentioned isn't our failed attack on Tenal that never happened.

It is interesting to note that it is the swing in perception is a huge determinate in alliance level warfare as a truly staggering amount of people simply hurry to join whoever the apparent winner is in any given conflict.
Watching alliances scramble over themselves to 'make friends' with MC once MC had the perceived advantage swelled the MC ranks. All sorts of entities that wouldn't put a ship in space under normal conditions, suddenly start showing up in significant numbers when assured they'd have the safety of MC support.

That is the miracle of charismatic leaders. They give their troops confidence. It sounds like the command ship modules, MMO number crunshing like 20% boost to troop strength, but it really works in RL too. A good leader can change the balance of power. The Alliance has quite a few charismatic and well known leaders. That, and the fact that they after this victory seem even more invincible will further increase the respect they will instill in their enemies and the confidence they will give their troops in the future. I personally wouldn't hesitate a second to throw my most expensive ship into a suicide run if I were ordered to by my FCs. One of the strong points of the Alliance.
The Coalition had strong morale and support in the Beginning. It's like armies of warriors shouted into the woods to intimidate the enemy and get the adrenaline pumping. They were many and shouted loud, but somewhere on the way they lost this confidence.
On the other hand the Alliance probably had quite a few members that were intimidated, and looked into a grim future. Now they are in the rush of victory, after many won fights against a once frightening enemy. Who wouldn't want to grant them that after this conflict. They have earned the victory through hard work.
The war is still raging on the southern front tho. Who knows what will happen. Here is to many more awesome battles. Cheers to the northern allies and the MC!

As usual, you are entirely mistaken.
Leadership works on all levels, but is not the phenomenon I am referring to. MC can happily claim that they fight harder and better for being well led. You'll find us 'gank jockies' are also perfectly aware that ops run smoother or choppier depending on who leads them.
No, the real item I was calling out there is that many people are basically gutless swine, looking to pile on for the easy win. The ever-growing swarm of people rushing to kiss up to MC and co. isn't because MC's leadership was amazing. They may or may not be, no its simply that the vultures wanted to be on the winning side when the end rolled around.
This certainly isn't the case merely in the larger wars, you'll see it all the time in disputes all over EVE. Heck, even the recent Providence scuffles had that as well, with various gutless groups rushing to kiss up to whoever they felt currently had the stronger chance of victory.
I consider it more an ugly display of human nature.

Heh, amusingly enough I don't think you are wrong. There was definitely a rush to join up against BoB when it looked like the other team might get big enough to blob you out. I think it was a more cautious rush simply because not as many people were convinced BoB was actually beat at the time.

This is one of the best reports i see on this section of the forums . For a long time MC and spechialy seleene have added style and class to this game . The real sense of RP mercs has always been a trade mark of MC and not just in their Battle reports but in their vids as well . Would like to thank all the MC guys for this huge work and i realy admire and inspired by it since imo this is what EVE should be all about .

The last time I saw an MC pilot was sometime around October or November of last year when they had a contract to fly interceptors around Insmother. I don't know whether it was a good fight or not, but if you want a goons opinion it looked like a rather boring one sided fight with an untouchably large capital blob that only took 3 months because of the time built into POS mechanics. Whenever it looked like there was potential for a good fight, they would bring in your Titans as a crutch.

However at the start of the campaign the Coalition had over a 2-1 advantage in terms of accounts, so to rubbish MC's achievements because they are now part of the biggest entity is pretty stupid.
Lieing on the forums is pretty stupid also, so selennes the new mccreedy, or just dumb with stats?

Did you forget to plug-in the family brain cell before typing that post or are you simply misguided on how this war started and played out? Whatever you think or say it doesn't change the fact that the Coalition had over a 2-1 numbers advantage at the start of the war and as such MC did a fine job against superior numbers.
Also for your information - MC received little no help from BoB during their Northern campaign. We gave them Titan support on a couple of occasions to nullify the D2 Titan threat - apart from that BoB had nothing to do with the Northern campaign. So again, trying to rubbish MC's achievements because 'they are nothing without BoB' just makes you look stupid. If I were you I would gather some facts before spouting your opinions, otherwise you'll continue to look ignorant.

The Northern Coalition says MC are nothing without BOB. The Southern Coalition says BOB are nothing without MC.
Maybe they are like, you know, friends that help each other out? Everyone in this conflict have friends.
Though, I think MC will take a much deserved month or two break before going into the south, else they can kiss their motherships goodbye. Overworking their members is reaching it's toll. Participation is down, and FC's are making silly little mistakes they should be well past making.
During this relaxation and carebearing, BOB will continue to loose ships and whatever little morale left. I base my opinion on my cross-killboard analysis tool, that shows BOB participation down, and a sudden and steep increase in their use of T1 modules and even t1 frigates and cruisers.

I've marked off the relevant paragraphs with numbers, so that they can be addressed in kind.
1. How is posting stats a lie? Because they didn't include the non-MC people as losses? If that is the way you honestly feel about it, then about 90% of EvE would be considered dishonest by your book. They posted THEIR kills, they posted THIER losses. MC reported for MC. If you want to see what I lost... we DO have a killboard.
2. I hardly think it's brown nosing to pay someone a compliment. There were many D2, and Razor pilots who warrant, as you call it... "brown nosing" too. In fact, much "brown nosing" has gone on between the two factions; you're just missing out on it, or completely ignorant of it happening under the very forum you're trolling in.
3. Stand alone against what? A conglomeration of alliances? You're attempting to cheapen/lessen their accomplishments by denigrating the very thing that MC squared off AGAINST. So you can look at it either way. A. You're wrong. B. Everyone including you... is wrong.

Selennes isn't the new mccreedy. you must be on some new type of drug somehow.
About the posting only MC stats. Mc can control only it's own Killboard for accuracy. Alliance kb's might omit some loses and they you start whining again why not posting that and that and some more.
And about KIA indepenet. Yeah that's why they lived in Syndicate and didn't take contracts againts the goons. Now let's be serious.

An epic contract, summed up with an epic report.
It was a true pleasure flying with both my MC colleagues and our allies in executing this contract. Special mention has to go out to Nubiam for his superlative FCing and to Mynas for his contributions which are too numerous to easily list.
I hope all, friend and foe alike, are left with good memories of fun fights from our time in the north. I know I certainly have plenty.
Suppose it's now time to go strap some Miner Is to that bantam of mine...

I wish the best of luck to MC in whatever they decide to do and would like to say that any time we can help all you have to do is ask and the same to all the other corps alliances that helped us in our goals.

Much respect to MC for their accomplishments. I really find it funny how personally people take which side they are on in this game. I have fought against them (MC) twice and have found it a very uphill battle, and quite professional. Alas they were on our enemy's side during this war, but hey, nobody's perfect.

Your point is flawed in that your assumptions based upon the text are wrong. TRI did, in fact, invade Tenal alongside ****.
"As TRI decided to pull out of the area..." says nothing other than the fact that you did, in fact, go off to do other things / leave. TRI does what TRI wants to do. Everyone knows this and people respect you guys for it.
I find it odd that you are trying so hard to take offense to something that wasn't even implied in my mind when I wrote the text, as if there is some sort of veiled insult buried in the words. Whatever you are seeing is your own perception, not my intention. Okay?

No insult. I have nothing but respect for the way you knocked them over. It is besides the point however.
Perhaps it is my perception. What i see is "Tri and Tits attempt to take Tenal for a couple of weeks before Tri pull out and MC come to the rescue." If we were invading Tenal we would have taken a wholely different set of tools.

You see, there you go. You try to be funny and fail there too. Suffice to say if you'd come to us with a serious offer along those lines earlier this year, rather than binding yourselves in group think, then you'd be dining in NOL when the server starts up. Either that or we'd ALL be back in Jita waiting on Molle's victory post. Who knows - I guarantee that either way it would have been fun.

ok so 450B is at the low end ok say we came up with a 700B ISK offer for u to grind away at bob until they died. Would u have taken it , not being funny if one could come up with the funds would MC take the job or not.

No matter how many threads this will never stop will it? *sigh*
Get a clue (reg. "usual employer comment"), change your name, get in the game and find out what it takes.
Just a hint.
Sorry to come off harsh but this is like the onehundredandeleventh time this comes up.
And guess where it leads?
But you are right about one thing though, its most likely too late now, it will probably
be a year or two before any resistance worth the effort will be built in EVE.
This phase aint over yet but its not what it was 4 months ago.

I finally got the time to read through through the write-up from MC's point of view. I read with special interest what was written about Tribute.
Very well written all the way through, but I was a little disappointed that there was no mention of the fact that when you guys were camping MSHD, 90% of Tribute's residents were in Querious. That would probably explain the complete lack of resistance you guys met with while there.
Maybe the result would have been the same, maybe not, but in all honestly, I think it bears mentioning.

Whole weeks spent waiting at pos's or on gates waiting for something to shoot. It was worth it to watch the north crumble
MC I would have loved to spend more time on all your ops. I managed to attend quite a few of them from C4C onward.
My favorite moment was Nubiam utilizing the channel spy to nuke/DD almost an entire hostile fleet at one point with a few support losses as trade. I laughed for a good 20 mins after that.
My only not so valid whine is, I wish you guys would have risked my ship more.

I can come blow you up if you like.
Also, for the umpteenth time, MC can not take BoB on by ourselves. I don't think anyone who pays attention has delusions to the contrary. What we could have potentially been is what we were for the Alliance forces up north, the galvanizing force that made the plans and called the shots, of course, from what I hear, that wouldn't have worked out so well, anyway.

I first took MCMS Immortalis (Aeon Class Mothership) out on the 2-2-07, having obviously never flown any ship with such majesty and strength as the Aeon, I was quite terrified when Sel gave the order to jump in. I had no idea what we were jumping into and I pretty much crapped myself when the MM capitals jumped in. Those MM pilots had 'some'.
Some more time passed and for well over a month the Aeon was out of the lime light. Then as we approached the end of March and as MC stepped up its campaign into P-2TTL. Two very good corp mates of mine Otto Bismarck and Arkezxa went out to find targets of opportunity. I told them that if they fitted a cyno generator if they got into any ętroubleĘ I could jump in and help. They found a Myrmidon who left C4C-Z4. While they hunted from him in a surrounding system the Myrmidon pilot organized a gate camp for them to jump back into. Little did they know my corp mates had me as backup. The following minutes were at little bit one sided as the support scattered and the few that stayed behind were destroyed.
Just after the cyno field went down and we were discussing leaving and trying to organize a return cyno for me back to P-2 the residents of C4C re-engaged us and once again those that were caught at the gate were destroyed. Still being relatively new at this and not wanting to get the Aeon killed we played it very defensively and as soon as my capacitor was starting to get low and with the numbers at the gate not diminishing but rather increasing with amount and the size of the ships we decided to call it a day for the time being. Seleene opened a convo with me on MSN and asked me what was happening. We told him the situation and then continued to monitor the situation. With my Aeon still cloaked within C4C, we noticed that bubbles were being anchored at the gates and the use of interdictors. Sel with his balls to the wall attitude wanted another fight and unfortunately Erilynn was lost in the jump in of SeleeneĘs Nyx. The fighting continued at the gate until the field had been won again.
If you go to the Mercenary Coalition kill board and search for me you can see a lot of the fights that I was involved in. I think I can be fairly safe in saying that the people who I flew with all thought I was insane and the people I flew against probably thought I was evil griefing bastard. My good friend Sivona once said to me ōThere are 44 people outside the station here.ö I replied ōOh come on only 44, those odds arenĘt even fair.ö
IĘd like to thank all the people who flew side by side with and against my Aeon. I know it was definitely a pleasure to fight beside and against you. More than once you guys had me quite worried. This 4 months that I spent in that ship were some of the best that I have had in EVE ever and I hope that those who I interacted with enjoyed themselves as well. Unfortunately RL circumstances made it difficult to see out the end of the war and I would have loved to jump into BKG with the other MC Motherships.
Seleene you are a visionary of EVE. I look up to you whenever I need a hand or the chips are down and your there for us. 2 years ago if you has said to me youĘd be flying a Mothership and our alliance with friends would be taking down D2 by force IĘd have called you a dreamer.
YouĘre a legend. DonĘt ever quit mate.

MC have always been good fighters just dont have the balls to stand alone, because they know they are nothing without bob
Selennes isn't the new mccreedy. you must be on some new type of drug somehow.
About the posting only MC stats. Mc can control only it's own Killboard for accuracy. Alliance kb's might omit some loses and they you start whining again why not posting that and that and some more.
And about KIA indepenet. Yeah that's why they lived in Syndicate and didn't take contracts againts the goons. Now let's be serious.

No just the same argument you used against ASCN in your acid tongue attacks against McCreedy and Cyvok, etc. But to say MC achieved this alone is a lie. But hey MC are BoB and therefore spout the same propaganda on the forums

hmm... "guilty by association" wow what a cool phrase thanks i think i will use that in my next signature,
may i just point out that even though you where not even involved in this campaign of destruction (well at least i never saw you), in no way does sels post make it appear that we did this alone,
to all our allies well done and thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us, to our reds good showing well done,
to all the flamers post with your main and if you are posting with your main come back when you actually have the ability to use that razor wit of yours for something constructive, E.G. loading ammo into your guns.
special thanks to FLA you put up a damned good fight bravo

2. What would you say was the deciding fight in your northen campaign?
1. The work of our graphics artists are probably the most highly guarded secrets in MC. You will know when the banners are released, not before.
2. There are five key battles in MY mind. But the one after which we KNEW it was there for the winning occured in C4C. The North had four motherships and one titan to our three motherships - we had a slight advantage in other capitals, but they were carrier heavy to our dreads, also their BS and support fleets outnumbered us. Yet we still entered siege at their armed POS which had just come out of reinforced, expecting untramnelled carnage - and one by one the pride of the north's industrial might jumped out.
From that moment our planners' objective was no longer to bring the North's fleet to an engagement and destroy it - it was to wipe them from the sovereignty maps of EVE. We were later to discover they had TEN motherships and two titans at the start of our campaign, to our three motherships and a vague suggestion that we could borrow one occasionally for logistics.
Its not about the supercaps .. its about the will to risk them.

within the early days we attacked L-C and C4C i always expect "THE COUNTERSTRIKE" of D2...but after theyre scout-alts didnt log on anymore in P-2TTL i was sure that theyre will to fight is broken
i cant remember how many POS ive shoot on or even how may cap-engagements i had...but it was always risky, pure adrenalin and even i lost several cap-ships it was absolutly FUN
what we have accomplished is more then ive ever expect and compensate all the losses

Well
Great fighting to everyone around. RL has mainly kept me out of this fight but I know both sides had alot of late nights and early mornings
GJ to all involved. Sad to see D2 go the way it did. To the Coalitions on both sides... i forsee a very long future of warfare, contract over or not.
to the ones that changed loyalties(alliances or corps) mid-conflict. Must feel good to be a pet. everyone knows how strong your "loyalties" really are
MC enjoy the hard earned cash. See ya in the battlefield of eve, MM will be here.

To the E-O population:
Do not let their consistent denials discourage you!
Do not let common sense or lack of tangible proof get in your way!
Do not let them call you a gullible just because you treat favorable rumors like undisputable thruths!
You know what you believe is the truth and donĘt take no for an answer!
MC cannot succeed where so many have failed!
MC must be lying and cheating because you know nobody is that much better than you!
MC must bow to somebody!
You know you are right, donĘt give up posting!
But to a more important matter. What is up with the Sarah banners
The Hugh was not only a banner pic, it represented something beautiful about the MC. The winning smile, impeccable class and complete arrogance. Not the everyday arrogance or even the plain american ōwe are the biggestö arrogance but refined british colonial inbreed aristocracy arrogance.
But what does Sarah represent?
MC, we are pretty?
Or is it suppose to refer to Buffy the vampire slayer?
MC, we have teenage problems too!
Or we kill monsters on our spare time?
But it makes no sense since IĘve seen the pictures and letĘs face it the scary monster that ate the slayer is the MC.
So yet again why do you have Sarah on you banners?
Awesome report sel, looks like you guys are having a kickass time.
you make me wish I could pause RL and just play!

What i wonder the most is this. How MC are going to keep thier mercenary style now that hold space in the North. Should they start having politics and Nap/Hostile/Ally neighbours automaticaly they cannot be assigned to attack everyone and they loose neutrality (supposing they still have some).
And how thier combat abilities will be reduced since other alliances might pay a visit to MCs land while MC are on a contract venture.
Has the time came where MC should announce the end of thier mercenary career?

Think thats the understatement of the year.
Thanks for the report, Seleene.
Btw since this contract was an epic one - do/did any isk go to each member or did all go into a pool for each corp - to continue and support the cap program? Will we see MC Titans as well?

As a follow up to the above report, I am also proud to announce that a corporation we have flown with for several months and who has proven themselves time and time again are now full members of the Mercenary Coalition. We welcome our German brothers in Seraphin Technologies [SERA] and honor them with the long awaited Joker card.
NEW MC ALLIANCE LOGO
Congratulations to CptDelta and his dedicated crew of pilots. You and yours made this campaign even more successful.
Loxy, get to work changing all these logos!

Whose MSN do you need to keep changing your logo ingame ?
Or am I missing something and CCP reversed their stance on people changing their logos?
Maybe I'm missing something and your old logo wasn't ingame, and your new one won't be perhaps ?
Anyway it would be good to know, because I don't know of any other alliance that has a logo that contains each member corp in them...

Our current ingame logo is still the four aces w/ BDCI, CONIN, FRICK, and ETNY, which I believe was put in a few patches ago. A new logo will be put in with an upcoming patch, I would assume.
On topic, this contract was an epic exercise in combat, logistics, patience, and preservation of sanity for me. It really took EVE to a whole new level that I'd never thought I'd be able to take a part of. I would personally like to thank all the MC and allied pilots that I had the fortune of flying alongside in this campaign. Everyone was a pleasure to work with at any time, either under my lead or with me just tagging along. MC couldn't have done what we accomplished in the manner in which we accomplished it nor at the speed at which it happened without the support of the other alliances present in the North.
To Mr. Fury, I honestly wouldn't get too hung up on the fact that Seleene posted just MC's stats. The intention is only to show what our killboard shows, for the sake of information. We're well aware of the fact that the stats are not indicative of what MC did as a solo entity, and I for one am rather curious as to what the alliance-wide stats have been these past few months, I'm just too lazy to actually compile it. The fact is, however, that in the end it wasn't the killboard stats that defined how we ended up in our current position, it was the battles won, the POS's destroyed, the stations taken, and the regions conquered. Whether it happened with 90%, 80%, or 60% efficiency really doesn't matter when you look at it in a big-picture sense.
Overall, this contract really showed to me what "MC Unleashed" really is capable of. It's one thing to have a group of highly skilled pvp'ers that can win individual battles, it's another to have an entity that can take the reins of an entire operation and lead a group of alliances effectively into region-wide conflict. I for one look forward to what our next contracts hold in store for us.

I understood it more as a reference to buffy.
Buffy was introduced, when MC's home got under fire in the beginning of this BIG war afaik and MCs position seemed to be in danger for the first time. Was it after RAT declared war on MC ?
Then Hugh had to disappear, because he was just to nice, and some bad ass Buffy was needed. Everyone knows, she kicks ass and always wins against the evil threatening forces.
And well, she doesn't look bad, so I'm fine with her, like with the outbreak and hobo sigs or they guys, who have Jessica Albar there.
Maybe Hugh is allowed to have a comeback soon, after Buffy has done her job in the North.

As a long time Battletech nerd, I can't help but equate MC with Wolf's Dragoons and BoB with House Davion. The parralels are there. BoB gives MC their own space, similar to Davion bestowing Dragoons their own homworld. The working relationship is even similar.
I've never faulted MC for being with BoB. BoB pays the money. MC does the job. Sometimes it's not even BoB, but an individual with similar interests. MC receives income for services rendered. It's not politics. It's just good business.
Oh and great read.

I cant be bothered to read the whole thread. however i'd like to congradulate MC for being the cream of cream as far as bob pets go. they have certainly been there the longest, right beside bob from the begining, and they deserve gratz whereever it can be found. I'm sure your client, bob, is very proud of you accomphishments. I'm am equally sure the entire eve population outside of bob/mc/pets views your actions as yet another example of how meta-gaming, cheap tricks, COAD manipulation can "win" the game. big, uber, stiff, and totally irrational congratz on a crappy job to do nothing but ruin my life and those that care about me. I love and more importantly hate you at the same time.

The North Reloaded
Ladies and Gentlemen of EVE, it is with great pleasure tonight that I present to you the results of the Mercenary CoalitionĘs largest contract to date:
CLICK ME -->THE NORTH RELOADED<-- CLICK ME
Within you will find a detailed account of our activities and even commemorative wallpapers. We hope our client is satisfied with our performance and the casual reader enjoys it as well. Special thanks to Loxy for helping me pull all this together at the last minute.
Three months ago, if someone had told me that I would be sending this report as my ship sat safely outside of the station in BKG taking on suppliesą well, I doubt anyone would have believed it. The fact is that we never expected to be in the position we are today. In my eyes, it really came down to a question of will. We were relentless in our task of seeing this contract through. Our targets really left us no other choice.
It started out simple enough ū weĘd give BoB a hand here and there, maybe do a few Empire war decs and hope that somehow our client would be on the winning side. In the beginning, that was most certainly not a foregone conclusion. Then our priorities changed. ItĘs one thing to fight a war as a paid soldier, but when the war comes to your front door it changes your perceptions.
We knew that the possibility of MCĘs home space being attacked existed, but the reality of it actually happening awoke something inside my alliance that is hard to describe. I am, of course, referring to the attack upon our capital shipyards and the loss of a Mothership under construction there. It awoke a sense of purpose and a terrible anger. Far from being a ęwarning to stay out of itĘ, the Northern CoalitionĘs actions against us only lit the fires of vengeance in the eyes of MC pilots.
<Blah blah blah more role-player crap>
Nutshell:
99% of EVE aren't role-players and realize theres no difference why you fight for their enemies. Be it money or honor, wtf is the difference. MC and BoB are married either way. Goto war with BoB, that includes MC. Don't act all surprised and victimized cause you were attacked and had 'mercenary' in your alliance name.
Incoming denial bomb!
P.S. stop role-playing, nobody is buying it (BUT BOB LOL)

As a long time Battletech nerd, I can't help but equate MC with Wolf's Dragoons and BoB with House Davion. The parralels are there. BoB gives MC their own space, similar to Davion bestowing Dragoons their own homworld. The working relationship is even similar.
I've never faulted MC for being with BoB. BoB pays the money. MC does the job. Sometimes it's not even BoB, but an individual with similar interests. MC receives income for services rendered. It's not politics. It's just good business.
Oh and great read.
A very good analogy.

Of course, if you keep running with this analogy it get's more fun!
House Davion is eventually hammered, the FedCom broken up, by an alliance of enemies, one of which had been left for dead after a major war. . .
And then the Dragoon's get nuked into basically non-existance, along with a good chunk of the rest of space.
Which means I guess I'll have to put up with RaGoon's shouting Xin Sheng(or was it fofofo).
(Honestly, it's a very valid analogy, I'm just annoyed you compared BoB to my BT faction of choice in Davion ;)

You remember what happens later? What Wolf Dragoons do When the Clans invade?
