Plave Okice Gallente Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.11 09:59:00 - [1] Edited by: Plave Okice on 11/03/2008 10:08:21 Yeah it's that Plave Okice with another RvB thread again, to be fair, it's about time the old threads died anyway. So I'm sure most of you have heard about this by now, Two Alliances in a permanent empire war, any corp can join either side to fight, any pilot can join any of the two main corps to fight (Red. and Blue.) Lots of people have been messaging me asking how it's going so I thought I'd write a proper update. Two months ago we started with 10 v 10, currently we're about 380 v 350, over 1000 pilots in total have been RvB members. Total kills is difficult to gauge as we use two killboards and of course overall stats were reset when the corps became alliances but there has been over 3500 kills to date. Total damage again is difficult to judge for the above reasons but there has been well over 50 billion isk of ships worth destroyed and of course much, much more if you add mods and rigs. We've enjoyed lots of third party wars (we get alot of other people deccing us), sometimes we fight them individually sometimes the alliances fight them together (as purple). Notable mentions in 3rd party wars are Crimson Order and Kernkraft 400 from the early days, more recently Capital Storm, Reavers and Mercenary forces have all brought fights to us and much fun has been had by all sides, I'm glad to say pretty much all smack free, just good fights. There have been many notable kills, losses and fights, the battleship brawls with Red/Blue, CAPS and MF, the mass RvB frig fights, the fight with Reavers Battlecruiser fleet, the various Purple Ops, the numerous interceptor dogfights and scraps were all great fun. A Kronos, an officer/faction fit Rattler, a Core X repped Hype, a Gist XL tanked Navy Raven and a couple of billion ISK Huginns have all been notable kills/losses that have dropped some juicy loot too. I know these stats aren't impressive compared to the scale of the big wars, but we're just a bunch of people having fun and hell, 50 billion ISK is a lot of frigs and cruisers. We have many more plans as yet, the two HQ's have moved for the fourth time and are now 9 jumps apart encouraging much more roaming, smaller gang action, we'll be looking to stay in our current positions for quite some time, recruitment is still open to both corps and alliances and our active pilot numbers are still on the increase. I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved, has been in either of the two alliances or who has declared war on us, you've all played a part. I won't start naming names as it's inevitable I'll forget someone but those who have been essential to the success of RvB know who they are. And while this is to celebrate our first two months it's also to say this is still the beginning, a new RvB website launches very soon where you can read the battle reports and stories around RvB, we're looking to grow all the time and have many more ideas and plans about what we want to do. 2008 - the year of the colour wars.

Plave Okice Gallente Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.11 10:29:00 - [2] Eh? Members corps don't have to fly in alliance gangs if that's what you mean, they're free to just fly as corps, we have open policies, people can do what they like. Red CEORed Vs Blue

Plave Okice Gallente Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.11 11:55:00 - [4] Originally by: decoherance Where have you moved to now? I've been amassing a large collection of ships and was going to head over to allentene to rejoin soon. Red - Hatakani Blue - Bei These are base systems though, it's not necceasry for all pilots to live there, we're recommending each side lives within a couple of jumps of their respective HQ in order to not be too far away from the action. Red CEORed Vs Blue
Plave Okice Gallente Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.11 13:00:00 - [5] Originally by: Riho sometimes its quite difficult when you have reds and blues in same local and you have decced them both :P makes for some crazy stuff Heh, yup. In the early weeks at one point Red had 6 active wars including Blue, not that unusual to have 6 wars, although we were all based in the same system which made it kinda hectic. Red CEORed Vs Blue

Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.15 18:56:00 - [10] Originally by: burek What would be really grand though if people posted all their losses inflicted by entities outside red/blue. Otherwise, it's been fun Let me know if there are any missing, I'll gladly post them. A couple of our kills are missing from your board, not that I care. CEORed Vs Blue
Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.16 08:53:00 - [11] Originally by: Cottage Pie this ** sounds wonderful, I can just make up a character and join up and blast away with you? done and done Yup, As Yarr says, just join up, anyone will be accepted, fight as much or as little as you want to. Leave to make some isk, return when you want, whatever. CEO**Red Vs Blue
Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.16 12:21:00 - [12] No policy, no combat rules, it's normal empire warfare CEORed Vs Blue
Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.17 11:42:00 - [13] SP wise we have everything from 900k noobs and noob alts to one guy with 85mill sp, we have many, many pilots in the 20-50 mill sp range. You'll see every type of non capital combat ship flown, gangs often have huge variation in ship types, all are useful. Pod killing is allowed, it's personal choice, I don't try to pod any blues but will certainly try and pod 3rd parties, most people follow this but not all. You can do what you like, what we provide is empire war targets to pew pew, if you want to go off and pirate, mission, kamikaze gank then feel free, many of our members do (ouch at the blue who got caught missioning in a 2 bill fit CNR tho). Purple effectively means that RvB fighting stops and is generally used when large amounts of 3rd parties are around or we fancy a change of pace and jump into 0.0 or wherever. You don't have to join in at all, it just means that during purple times you don't shoot reds/blues. CEORed Vs Blue
Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.18 09:25:00 - [14] Originally by: Vladmir Loki Have you given any consideration to ideas like these? We do have more plans for extending RvB, but four sides will give us considerable leadership and organisation problems, it's hard enough with two at the moment, so the likelihood is that we'll remain two sides. Eve's four factions have no relevance to our two. Everything else you've mentioned is what we do/have anyway, the only difference being the number of sides. CEORed Vs Blue
Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.18 15:37:00 - [15] Originally by: Terraform Thanks for this wonderful concept, it was about time someone accomplished something like this Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best CEORed Vs Blue
Plave Okice Red. Red Republic	Posted - 2008.03.19 15:01:00 - [16] Originally by: Polinus The 4 side idea has some credit. Might be a good thing for peopel with some sort of RP in their blood. 4 alliances each one only accepts a specific race. Minmatar and gallente in war witn amarr and caldari. Would be another very nice thing to do. Not necessarily by the RnB people, so.. RP that are reading.. start moving these rear ends of yours!!!! Would be impossible to balance, let alone the leadership issues involved with 4 alliances and the project. CEORed Vs Blue
