As a primarily highsec PVP alliance, we have become greatly disturbed by Goonswarm's recent threats to cause Jita to burn. The biggest complaint that carebears have about so-called unconsensual PVP is the false reality that there is nothing they can do to fight back. I want to show carebears and hisec dwellers that this is wrong. As a result, I intend to organize a resistance against Goonswarm in their pre-planned Jita interdiction.
While many people will no doubt be content to simply ***** onto Goonswarm killmails as they go GCC, we plan on taking a much more active role in defending Jita against these self-proclaimed nullsec griefers. From what i've seen on the forums, many other people seem interested as well and as a result, we will be organizing a SAVE JITA campaign. While our
fights against TEST this past weekend might not seem like it was that impactful, I guarantee every hauler that came through the gates while we were fighting was thankful. Once we get enough additional groups that are interested in assisting in this crusade for justice, I will create a mailing list and organize a formal coalition that we can all coordinate efforts through.
Why this impacts youAs highsec dwellers we resent this incursion of nullsec players upon highsec, who seem intent on imposing the ways of elite PVP upon people who have absolutely no interest in fighting and just want to go about doing their business. While many people may be against the Jita interdiction because they don't like Goonswarm, I urge you to think about the implications if this event is allowed to go on unhindered. I urge you to think of the innocent hauler who was only going to Jita to sell assets that would secure his corp's financial future, weeks worth of worth, instantly gone. I urge you to think of the Goonie that forgets to change his clone location and gets podded back to nullsec. If you are primarily a hisec dweller, this affects you directly whether you would like to believe it or not.
Just because there are no TCUs doesn't mean the sovereignty of hisec doesn't belong to the mission runners, miners, industrialists, and Incursion runners that populate it. Hisec must stand united in order to show these nullsec pubbies that we are NOT the easy prey that they think we are. With the proposed changes to war dec prices, it will be extremely cheap for large nullsec dwellers prey on small alliances without fear of being dec'd themselves due to their built in dec shield.
What can you do to help?If you are serious about helping out, please contact me in-game for details. Anyone and everyone is welcomed and encouraged to help. This includes PVP and PVE pilots alike. Experience preferred, but not needed by any means. As long as you can fly something with guns, please get in contact with me and we will let you know our plans and what you can do specifically to help when the time gets closer.
I guarantee you a free-for-all the likes that hisec has never before seen for all that choose to join in. People have long doubted the carebear's ability to fight back and defend themselves, calling them easy targets. While this may have been true in the past, I intend to show how deadly they can be with a little direction.
April 28th 2012 shall be remembered as the day that hisec stood together united.EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that some people would like to offer prizes for various achievements. If you or your corporation is interested in donating ISK or ships for prizes, please contact me via EVE-mail and I will let you know who to contract or send the prizes to when I get that sorted out. I assume many groups will most likely be wary of scam, so I will need to find a trusted 3rd party to hold the items until the event takes place.
