Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy And blessed are those who hear And who keep what is written therein For the time is near
It has been said in these forums that freedom is an ideal and nothing more. It has been said in these forums that freedom is a mutable thing with various definitions. There are those who in the name of a nation, of a people, of a race, or of a God will fight against other men for the freedom of themselves, of their countrymen, or of their souls. Freedom, they say, is the cause of their fights; freedom, they say, is the only goal they espouse; freedom, they say, is worth fighting for; freedom, they say, is worth dying for.
He is coming with the clouds And every eye will see him Everyone who pierced him And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him
And we have heard those words. And so out of the depths as Leviathan have we risen, the not-at-all-holy and not-at-all-idealistic Goonswarm Federation; nay, we are not holy men. Nor are we seekers nor sayers of truths, nor mystics nor wise. We descend upon the world as locusts; we surge forth as a plague of filth to make dirty the clean and to defile the holy; we set forth unto the people to corrupt them, to destroy them, to tear apart their very souls. We shall make war on war itself; we shall fight all who would fight, and in the name of peace shall we bring swift death to all who would stand and fight, for land or faith, for virtue or for greed, for peace or for suffering. And when we are finished the whole of the world shall have been remade, for we shall have stuck down with great vengeance and furious anger, and you know know that we are gods but mere men who for no good reason have wrought destruction for the pleasure it gives us.
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads And a blasphemous name upon its head And the beast that I saw was like a leopard Its feet were like a bear's And its mouth was like a lion's mouth And to it the dragon gave his power And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder
Today we begin our assault on Delve, and we shall burn it to ashes. There shall be no God and no Religion, no State and no Master, no Sovereign to claim it. It shall be a shattered wasteland, and within its boundaries there shall be no boundaries. Freeport Delve shall be known far and wide as the anarchist's paradise, as the great freeport, as the marvelous thunderdome; it shall stand in broken pieces as a replica and a monument to the hubris of man and as a monument to his virtue. There shall be no law, there shall be no tax and there shall be no control. There will be blood, and there will be suffering, and there will be a complete freedom of all parties to which everyone except Jade Constantine is invited. Come, friends and enemies; join us, join against us, or take no side at all. But come. Delve is waiting.
And he said to me: "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is near Behold, I am coming soon" |

Good luck with that! Oh, but leave at least one Blood Raider station with cloning services intact? Even after shooting them up I still am authorized to install jump-clones at their stations. So....that'd be nice. That way, you know, I could jumpclone down into Delve and watch you all have your jollies. |

I was wondering how long it took on the new IGS before that name got thrown around.
Took a lot longer than I expected though.
As we discussed yesterday Captain Nairn, the issues of Nullsec and their odd affairs struggle to make sense to me, but I do like your idea of dealing with oversized egos and kicking their sandcastles down. Good hunting. |

In my archeological research there is occasional reference to a place called "Tortuga" or "Tortooga" - not sure which - about which this announcement reminds me of, in reference to anarchy and prosperity.

Why? Don't you think for one second about the people who live in those stations, in those ships and on those planets?

He farted at you on camera. What part of that is supposed to be 'serious'?
I don't think Tarryn does 'serious'.

The part where he attempted to call out someone and take the high ground. Perhaps "serious" is not the correct word, and I'm the victim of a reverse-meta troll. If so, then hurrah for all involved. |

Because if one does not hide from the swarm one shall be consumed by it. Try it and find out Tarryn, stand in front of the gates of Fortress Delve and you will find out that regardless of whether or not we matter to you, your ship will still melt in the face of the swarm.
You shouldn't assume that we are different from you planetside. But whatever you have planetside is irrelevant to what happens to you in space. Your friends and and lives outside of the void of space will not save the people of Delve from the coming swarm so you are still impotent. That is all. |

(( Due to game mechanics, it is not actually possible for us to relieve another party of their station ownership without taking the station ourselves; instead, the best the game mechanics allows us to do is to set free use of docking rights and station services. You will please forgive us for the fact that CCP did not code things in such that allows us to do what we want to do. )) |

I thoroughly endorse this.
While I've been more inclined to shoot goons in the past (they taste nice...) I will however support anyone that brings the fight to Delve and causes chaos among the incumbent sloth-like alliances that cosy up there.
I'd never call myself a friend of goons, but I admire what they're trying and wish to do here.
Wonder if I should poke Cyshade and come down to Delve for a bit to join in...

The current inhabitants of Delve have been notified and given the choice to freeport all the stations under their control willingly and with the blessing of the swarm. Unfortunately it seems that many have already chosen to resist the freeport initiative. In which case punitive action will be taken against those who would seek to greedily keep Delve for themselves. |

I liked Goons better when they were honest about their own self-aggrandisement, and didn't try to dress it up as something deeper or more intellectual. What happened, guys? You used to kill people for being half as pretentious as this.
You sold out! No Gods. No Kings. No Senators. No Directors. No Men. Only me.

UPDATEGÇö05.10.YC113
As of the date of this post, seven star systems in the Delve Region have been liberated from their previous owners and stand now with their docking rights and facilities open wide. This has been accomplished through the sustained efforts of the Right Honourable Goonswarm Federation of Space Planets and our allies in the Clusterfuck Coalition. This post recaps the highlights of the last couple of weeks.
In his grace and mercy, Dear Leader offered the olive branch of peace to Brick Squad on the condition that they cooperate with Operation Freeport. During initial talks their leadership assured the Goonswarm Federation diplomatic team that compliance would be forthcoming; but, intelligence reports from within the organisation revealed this to be a blatant lie intended to "stall for time". This tactic fell flat, as the war machine did not pause while the terms of peace were on the table. When next our diplomatic team spoke with the leadership of Brick Squad, the truth of the matter was presented to them and in a lame cop-out they claimed that they had been intending to deceive us all along; meanwhile, the war machine continues to grind along the path towards NOL-M9. In their dying breaths as a sovereignty-holding power, Morsus Mihi declared that they would defend "their island" to the last breath and give up not an inch. This has not reflected reality. Morsus Mihi, previously good-weather allies, has been trod over and expelled as so much refuse on the war path.
Thousands of capsuleers from the Goonswarm Federation and its Clusterfuck Coalition descend upon Delve; in our wake, we bring Freedom to those who would reach out and take it.
