Originally by: Kella Armatage What happened:
Exanimo inc. left triumvirate to go back to empire merc routes. One director got into talks with MC about a possible future together. Our CEO got under-taken by illness, and passed CEOship on to another director.
etc...
Close. Actually Cptblood expressed to some of the directors and myself privately that he was having serious second thoughts about the move because he was sick of alliance life... but that he didn't want to **** off BB. Then suddenly got sick and left the game, passing on the leadership to Eagle (again, for the second or third time...not sure); (in actual fact he was just bored and playing MTWII afaik), passing on leadership to Eagle. Eagle reflected what he believed to be Cptblood's intention which was, (after the TRI thing), to remain an independant corp, free of alliance life.
Some new guys were ****ed because they wanted to be associated with MC and saw their plans scrapped. So on my advise they formed thier own corp, presented themselves to MC as the same guys by a new name and were accepted based on Exan's reputation. I'm quite proud of that tbh . At this point we were blue to each other, and I personally thought everyone had the option available that they wanted...go to a well-known alliance or remain an independant merc corp. Good deal no? Apparently not...
Cptblood comes back, apparently all enraged because the corp had split up and subsequently admits to orchastrating a corp-theft using two easily influenced and not too bright kids in the corp in an attempt to get back at Eagle and the other directors. Directors that he appointed and that were good enough for several years, but suddenly were backstabbing incompetent fools.
At the end of the day, so what. Like was mentioned earlier, the bottom line is that the blueprints were dust collectors in Exan anyway and frankly I could buy thier equivelant value back by myself, let alone everyone else in the corp; the isk stolen is less than a few weeks of earnings and Cptblood is content because he feels vindicated. Cptblood's been a good friend to me over the years, and I think someday he'll look back and regret it, but frankly, given his RL issues I think he *****ed a bit in this instance. It's a game and if 'blood gets some joy out of all this than it was worth 7b or so in assets.
On a different note....kudos to Mirrorgod and my apologies the other night for the uncharacteristic smack in local...it was a trying day as I'm sure you can imagine. Was looking for SOMEBODY....ANYBODY to fight and when I was done re-enacting the 'charge of the light brigade' in 93 and Nann I pressed on in local. It's not me and I'm embarrassed. 
You almost have to feel sorry for people whose real lives are so empty that they have to commit corp theft and make others miserable to feel anything at all. They must be closely related to empire can flippers.
