Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.11 20:44:00 - [1] Edited by: Joshua Calvert on 11/03/2004 21:53:39 I am getting exceptionally frustrated and annoyed by tactics that certain war enemies are engaging in. Namely, using non-corp alts to persistently harrass and annoy Con'Mal and I using such tactics as pictured below: http://www.frothy.org/images/petition1.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/petition2.jpg Excentrica Gallumbits and Iwan Iwanoswitch are the most common offenders but I've included images of only one offence that I've managed to screen grab. They (our war enemies not the above-named idiots) also spam Con'Mal and I with gang/convo invites whenever a colleague is trying to get beyond our camped gate. We have auto-reject switched on at most times but it's amazing how often one of us will switch it off to make a gang and virtually EVERY time we get convo invites - it beggars belief that they are trying it so continually. I have also received numerous evemails from immature members along the lines of: http://www.frothy.org/images/baldourtinaka1.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/baldourtinaka2.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/baldourtinaka3.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/baldourtinaka4.jpg I realise baldour tinaka may not be an alt but his behaviour is so alt-like it's hard not to believe he's a 3-day old n00b (killing his cruiser with a cruiser was not "ganking" or "unfair" so I cannot understand his stupid evemails). Also, a number of our war enemies pilots have left their corporation in order to continue working for their corporation un-molested. Is this fair? Force alt characters to be in the corporation of the character with the most skill-points, CCP, or give us some way of ridding ourselves of pesky annoyances! LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.11 21:06:00 - [2] Edited by: Joshua Calvert on 11/03/2004 21:08:53 I've submitted petitions (and so has Con'Mal) for the cases listed above. I understand someone will consider that I'm being whiny and a "cry-baby" but I will not have my gametime ruined by other people's lame actions. I have no other recourse but to move away when the "locking and warp-jamming a can" thing happens and that's not how I wish to spend my time playing Eve. Orbiting players who are obviously camping a gate is also becoming a nuisance and it means I hardly dare use missiles even though cruise missiles caus less splash - I'm not risking 65M isk worth of battleship on causing 360dmg to some idiot who throws himself in front of my missiles. I am now going to petition EVERY single instance of locking me, orbiting me, or anything else which hinders my gameplay without myself having the ability to take severe action against the offenders. I don't care what anyone thinks of this - this is MY gametime and I will not have it wasted by dumb idiots. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Petitions take time to answer - these idiots can harang a player for hours before anything is done. I point blank refuse to put up with it anymore. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.11 21:23:00 - [4] In 0.5 and above you shouldn't be able to target any pilot you're not at war with. That's a nice simple solution for one of the problems, eh? LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.11 21:26:00 - [5] Quote: Looking at the patch notes, cruise don't cause any splash at all anymore, so they are 100% safe in empire. They still impact on someone flying into them and, if sufficiently damaging enough to pod the player, CONCORD spank the crap out of you. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.11 21:53:00 - [6] Baldour, done. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.12 17:48:00 - [7] Quote: Joshua Calvert is shield tanking with an MWD Do you get podded alot or do you run alot? A fine example of why alts should not be able to post on the forums. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.12 18:26:00 - [8] Holy Logical Discussion, Robin, there could be an ability to only lock corp. mates/war enemies in 0.5 and above? LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.12 19:37:00 - [9] JarJar, Sally B just talks like an alt because there's little wrong with my setup! LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.13 13:21:00 - [10] Further proof that the current war system is for carebears: http://www.frothy.org/images/techell-loser.jpg Idiots like Jayloh leave their corporation and spend time scanning/orbiting us and we can do nothing. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.13 14:26:00 - [11] http://www.frothy.org/images/2.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/3.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/4.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/5.jpg http://www.frothy.org/images/6.jpg 4.jpg is Jayloh repeatedly unlocking/locking us The other pictures are of a character called ups ups who uses the strange game physics to "stick" her Industrial-class ship to our battleships - this makes it harder to get warp alignment and also runs the risk of incurring splash damage (from a direct hit from our fired missiles rather than normal "splash) and the attention of CONCORD. Both pilots have been petitioned, just like I said I was going to yesterday. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.13 14:32:00 - [12] How would I like to see these issues resolved? Leaving a corporation takes 2 weeks regardless of whether you were kicked or left - during these 2 weeks you are still a war enemy and can be fired upon. Locking becomes an "aggressive" act and, while not attracting the attentions of CONCORD, anyone locking you can be shot without penalty from CONCORD. The ability to fire on someone who has locked you is "open" for however long the "locker" is in the same area as the "locked" - this would prevent frigates locking and unlocking Battleships to try and exploit that. Fix game physics so that battleships don't get stuck onto or pushed aside by much small ships LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.13 17:37:00 - [13] Siddy, Done. To the Dork Cartel guy, Thank you for your constructive post. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.13 18:41:00 - [14] Quote: is it just me, or does a MWD do little "damage" to a shield tank ? its not that much, as long as u can run it for a good ammount of time :p i dunno, im not flying a scorp, and never have It's offline until I need it LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.14 08:53:00 - [15] Quote: maybe if you move away from yulai once in a while and head out to 0.0 you can kill whoever you want and it won't be an issue. you want to fight a war in the middle of empire, deal with the untouchable alts. Yulai is where the enemy is - why would I go to 0.,0 where there are no location agents or resources I can use? LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.15 17:10:00 - [16] I'm not whining about your spies - I'm whining about how they orbit us and try to get in the way of our missiles. I'm sure the people doing this aren't all STK-S/X-Trading alts, though. I'm also complaining how more than a few of your pilots have left your corporation and continue to go about their business. You're really a dumb ** if you think Con'Mal, Madcyborg, and I are still working for EV - we three players are more than capable of backing up our claims as you've no doubt seen. We've got over 34M skill points between us, have been in the game since beta (or day of release for me) and can easily replace our losses. We're not n00bs. Unlike you guys who resort to trying to get CONCORD to do your work for you LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!**
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.03.15 17:12:00 - [17] P.S: The links in my original post will no longer work - I've overshot my bandwidth allowance this month by over 2GB and can't afford to let it go too high. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
