Yesterday RONA Corporation gained access to the Jericho Fraction private forums by means of an old account membership that had not been removed. As a result of this all private chatlogs held there were compromised and are now matters of public scrutiny. Amongst the pages and pages of information now in the public domain there are references to the Curse Alliance.

I ask these questions purely from from curiousity in the main, since in other relations and public representation you guys seem quite proud of your reputation for "bad boys" and hence its a surprise to see you labelled in once-private comms in such ways.

(NB: note I am not looking for any improvement in relations with Curse, for any intervention against our enemies, for any change at all in your relations with you. This is purely to satisfy curiousity)

*** Chatlog Segment from PA Leader Halseth Durn.

[ 2004.05.10 03:09:05 ] Alexandra Belani > ok NAP with ca....
[ 2004.05.10 03:09:14 ] Alexandra Belani > done out of fear?
[ 2004.05.10 03:12:52 ] Halseth Durn > WEll, we have this Alliance that we have never had a problem with and kisses our ass and offers help all the time. Shiva is just around the corner and they are offering a NAP. We think that our alliaes in RKK, FU and CoD are only fighting FE remnants. CA says that these FE remnants are rogues and we can fire on them where ever we want. SOOOO, we take the NAP. Next day we find out that all of our allies feel betrayed and hurt. we talk about it for 4 days, and tehn I have to go against my word for the first time ever in EVE, and break a deal I made just 5 days earlier. Fear had no part in it.

This an accurate chatlog and its content is not questioned by the PA.

So it begs a couple of questions (if you don't mind answering)?

1. Has the CA in fact ever "kissed the PA's" ass?
2. Have you kissed the PA's ass more than once?
3. Do you in fact offer the PA help?
4. Would you be prepared to tell us what kind of help? (does it involve ass-kissing?)
5. Was this NAP offered a mutual arrangement? (or was the PA in driving seat?)
6. Is it true that CA considered its members in the north rogues and freely targetable? I noticed a lot of corps with CA flags, Backwater, Paladins of the Red Skull, and others in the north. Did you tell Halseth they weren't really CA corps at all?
7. Did you really bend over backwards and kiss ass to get this NAP with PA?
8. Were you upset that PA broke the NAP?
9. Do you agree with Halseth that the NAP breaking had nothing to do with fear?
10. Would you consider NAP'ing PA again (and/or kissing their asses) now you appear to be on the same side?

***

NB to everyone. I am asking questions here based on issues raised in an in-game political dialogue now brought into the public domain by PA war espionage. I don't want ridiculous flaming and I am not that interested in hearing what the PA say (we had 12 pages of Bobby Wilson repeating "we are right" yesterday thank you).

If PA posters ask sensible questions I will answer them. Flames will be ignored (and I mean real flames Bobby Wilson, not just questions that you can't answer).

What I would really like to hear is the Curse Alliance official position on this, since I believe the import of this chatlog is that diplomatic relations between PA and CA are actually very good (and quite intimate with the amount of ass-kissing that seems to go on ;).

Obviously this question is a bit tongue in cheek so lets keep a sense of humour, but I honestly would be intested in learning if we are about to see Eve war one for real, and CA and PA vs the rest? I think you will agree from reading about the politics on this board it could well go this way.

(please please please mods remove the personal attacks and flames and not the honest responses, I will be on my best behaviour also)

So, can anyone from CA provide the answers to the questions (please answer all ten points if you can in list form).

Thank you.

It's really kinda funny.

The whole Jade enigma. I agree Jade is a strong presence.

But the way I see most of EVE respond to Jade posts amazes me!

It's really classic to watch. You'd think that the whole of eve clung to Jade's coat tails. Get a grip people.

Jade doesn't lead this "war" vs PA. When it comes right down to it - Jade is a CEO like any other.

The other alliances/corps ALL speak for themselves. They all have CEOs/Councils with their own voices. They are fully capable of making their own decisions

All of them HAVE made their decisions too.
