Oh yeah. Someone, somewhere, got so upset about something I said on the internet that it dropped 50 mil to get me decced. Now the key part here is that it won't even air its grievances. So this will have no resolution.

Happy 2015.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonably internet game solution to an internet game problem to me, in a general sense. At least within the context of EVE where wars, vendettas, and space-murders are pretty much what a large part of the game is all about.

But to try and be completely impartial here's my thoughts:

It happens
Rolled Out was perma-decced by Marmite thanks to a thread I made once, along with the input of a couple other pilots from the corp. It happens, I didn't take it personally, and nobody blamed me. In a game like EVE it's always the risk we take when we even login let alone anger some individual or some corp.

Someone
Unless you've been told, how can you even be sure someone even hired anyone. It's super common for "Merc" corps (or just "HS griefer" corps), especially the little or fledgling ones, to just randomly dec corporations that they see in highsec working, or have a small membership, or simply because that's where the dice fell. Had tons of such random decs over the years on my corp(s) or the one's I've joined. It happens.

Parlay
To get a clue as to the answer of the above have you tried speaking with the "mercs" involved? I'm kinda assuming you must have because you've pulled a figure out of the air there. I first met Tora Bushido when I was given diplo license for Rolled Out to try and negotiate an end to our perma-war. He had no trouble telling me upfront that it was a contract job, and so there was no point in trying to negotiate with him personally. That itself was good to know and hey, got to make a good acquaintance out of it who's services I've since used myself numerous times. You never know, you might find a lot of answers (or even solutions) by speaking to the deccers.

50m
I'm assuming if that's a legit figure then the mercs hired for that amount shouldn't be much to be worried about. Though granted it would only be a dec against a very small corp, but still ... 50m? Have you any idea how much Erica paid for that little dec against low-class, even with Tora's favor? Try one and a half billion. But in anycase if you're using such figures, and seem so confident some individual's done the Dec from spite, then I'm assuming you've also got some clues yourself as to who or what corp is responsible.

In any event don't worry about it. Use it for fun yourself or just ride it out. Alternatively pursue some avenue to try and negotiate, or even hire mercs against the mercs. You say it's pointless because these things don't effect you, but your posts are kinda saying otherwise. Don't let it grind you down in a personal way.

Wardecs are just part of EVE. Smile
