Originally by: Valkazm one thing though what about the KIA policy that only KIA corp gets all the loot from kills .. i know its a small matter but i mean not really boosting morale that all loot goes to once corp .. im not trying to be critical i was just shocked that it worked that way .. i have full respect for KIA ..
I am not sure why I should defend KIA on this, as the pilots within KIA know this is incorrect.
KIA Corp COLLECT all the loot, as it makes it easier to keep track of it all, get it all into same corp hangar etc etc, but at end of contracts etc, all loot is gathered in one place and one the KIA Alliance Corporations is charged with selling the loot and the money is split equally down between the Corps.
Trust within the Alliance is total, it has to be. |

Good read, write-up almost seems too nice for CAOD. Good Luck. If the north were ever a really good "Co" and worked well together, mainly with a few worthy FCs and a good plan the monkeys could have easily taken the bobbits especially with Tortuga AND Goons, I just don't see how BOB could have handled that. Pretty sure in fountainSmash and Bruce were blue to each other then and were being wasted by FCs throwing blobs into bob capital gatecamps. Just too many mistakes against bob and welp, Anyway what's the saying "almost only counts for horshoes and handgrenades" ?

The project failed but it wasn't a failure for KIA.

Good write up Eddz.
KIA are a great bunch of guys to have had the pleasure to work with as are all that I have played alongside these past 6 months in Tortuga. It's been a pleasure.

Originally by: gazthenailer good post m8.
Nice to see people honor the fights we all are part off, instead of just smacktalk. Even when the result is not to your favor.
I know KIA this is not the end of KIA and it will be fun to see what you guys decide to do in the future.

It's forum threads like this that keep me reading in this forum. Just when I think there will never be another intelligent / enlightening post, I see an Op like this.

Edited by: Cadman Weyland on 02/05/2008 12:34:53 Lovely write up.
I left MC due to rl and missed pretty much all of the Tortuga story and all of the recent goings on in PB. Your post has filled in many of the gaps for me.
Thank you Eddz, gl on KIAs future journeys.

I wonder who was wrong.
Wonder if now is a good time to post about someone claiming th.. are no goons.
Everyone makes claims, not all are true.
Then again, BOB have been ridiculed enough for that one already.
So I guess you guys can enjoy this moment too |

I remain amused by those who thought they knew the mood of BOB and its allies through these last few months. Contrary to what you think,....our morale was always high, we were never down, and we were never out.
The End Game has shown this to be true. In real life and in game, treachery begets treachery. You reap what you sow eh?
All the best, Theo |

The basis of what went wrong is very simple. BoB.
BoB used the epic betrayal, and the leadership made it something it wasn't. They needed it, they needed the spark, and through clever management of people and PR, BoB now are stronger than they ever were.
Gratz to them, I mentioned a quiet admiration for them, and it is mainly because they achieved what no one gave them hope of doing, they stood on the threshold of death, and brought it all the way back.
All the credit cannot go to only them of course, their enemies through inner fighting let them slip through the net when it should of been closed, the coalition wasn't very "co-", much more ego, and MC let it all get on top of them.
BoB was strong before they left Catch to go to PB. They had an initial surge in numbers when they were convinced they were going to get an epic capital fight out of you, but then their numbers dwindled back down to nothing more than what GS and IAC were fighting in Catch. BoB really didn't get noticeably much stronger until during and after NOL.
There also really wasn't any coalition infighting. There were certainly some moments that were fun, but overall the fighting in Delve was just a lagfest that usually didn't go our way. It's hard to upset with other alliances for not showing up for that crap when they live on the other side of the universe with absolutely nothing of their own at stake. Pretty much all standings resets in the coalition were on good terms.
The only two entities that I think people were upset about were BRUCE and Tortuga. Both of them took their space without significant resistance (sans y-2, but even that I think was mostly done by northern guys) thanks to GS and Razor going straight to Delve after a month of 2-3x daily POS ops in Catch in Querious. They both had the most at stake being neighbors with BoB; everyone that was fighting in Delve had nothing immediately at stake and were keeping two large freeloading alliances alive. They both also had a HUGE amount of potential, but instead they just carebeared or even took "contracts" while things were getting ugly in Delve. Neither of these groups would be where they are now if they had put some serious effort into helping the coalition when they had the chance. |

labels are just so unfair, I feel all sad now.
But, the fact your proud about helping take PB, does this have anything to do with the pathetic statment that details the hostile forces pulling out of the fight till BOB where pre-occupied in Delve so as not to risk loosing ships in real PVP wile taking space?
For the record, I aint smacked in this thread yet even though I have a rather open disslike for eddz. |

While it's nice of you to call MC what they are - traitors, one has to wonder if you freely shared this opinion during the first successful months of co-existance as well. Or are you doing that only because that "Renowned Mercenary Corp" ended up failure-cascading on such a massive scale?
Maybe that's a part of the reason why the first line of your essay contains a semi-apology for writing it in the first place.
Still, don't think many people in BoB will have any hard feelings towards your Alliance. Good luck I guess... |

Funny that coming from a RA member who fcked off the moment they took BoB's Dyspo/Prom moons. Not to mention your alliance actualy split up because of it, Karma |
