I think it's a great idea to get more people into the corp, and would love to see Endie recruiting people with chats/posts/etc. He strikes me as having a real knack for exciting people to try Eve PvP.
The more the better I say, but I'm just a flunky.

Damn you all for piquing my interest again. 0.0 life sucked, but your Empire wardecs sound somewhat fun. It's making me consider signing-up to play with my Minnie Battlecruiser/ BSer agagin.
Damn you.

I think the recruitment post sounds like a great idea too, Endie.

Damn you.
This would be brilliant: our tactics have been slightly constrained by the fact that they decided to fly the biggest ships they could find and our alts are just moving up through the hierarchy of ships: when we jumped in on them outside the Sankassen station they outnumbered us in ships, battleships, tank and overall dps. We won, and amazingly even held the field at the end of the fight (and i don't want to say why on the open forum) but if we had another big ship or two we could begin to dictate engagements like that, and try out other stuff. I've posted some theorycrafting in the super-sekrit war forum about ideas on that front. And yay I'll try and write a recruitment post for the main forum tomorrow when I should be working. It will shamelessly rip off Stahlregen's SA recruitment posts.

Is someone working on finding us a moderator that can approve people for the super sikrit forum? Or can someone just make Irek a local moderator for that forum? Must schild be bribed with anime and a mario game that will run on the PS3 for that to happen or what?

I've been lurking in the boards for a few months, and just started eve yesterday. Any chance i could get in? Computer kinda blows at the moment and probably couldn't handle too many ships pew pewing at each other at once though.

I think we have to do some sort of qualification period: a month, say, with a decent number of posts?

I usually only post places when i have a reason to. I usually just read.
I don't really know what i'm doing. Just flying around shooting missles at stuff right now.
If you want to message me my name is WhoFlungDoo. (My guy looks oriental hehe.) If not i'll just go back to lurking.

I got a good laugh out of that. But I still think you're a spy.

Feel free to join the F13 channel and chat with everyone. Who knows? Maybe they'll decide you aren't a spy eventually.

I've been thinking about resubbing and maybe joining f13 corp as well so this might be a good time come out of the woodwork I can fly BS and was thinking about checking out the trinity visuals. I was wondering if F13 corp is active during the euro evenings? oh, and I'm a spy too.

Since war has been declared on F13 as well have we given any thought to just merging the BAT members back into F13 since thats where we all were in the first place?

I thought that the F13 members would be happy not to be wardecced some of the time, whereas those in BC desire a 1984-style constant state of warfare?

Yah the idea is that BC is going to be more aggressive on the wardecs than F13. F13 will get wardec'ed in retaliation (as we have seen this time) but I don't expect them to be bothered most of the time as there are plenty of folks in BC who actually want to fight and will seek out fights.
But, that means that I really need folks to post any PK deaths to the killboard so we can make sure they aren't bothering the F13 corp.

Bah, I dl'ed a 14 day trial yesterday. Stupid Pew Pew. Someone PM me what to do to get in on it. I'm following the goon wiki on building a tackler and I just finished the tutorial 10 mission thing last night.
I've PM'ed you the goonfleet survival video links, which includes tackling 101 amongst other stuff, as well as two videos on fleet warfare which are a bit larger scale than we do, and slanted towards 0.0, but are still very useful. Thanks Endie. I'll be on tonight see if I can get into -BAT- and help raise some newb <1M SP hell.

I find it amusing when people in a wardeccing corp get pissed that you're not fighting them the way they want you to. My corp got empire wardecced by 3 different corps this weekend. They seem to get upset that when they're sitting outside the station with 5-6 battleships, we don't really see the point in undocking. When most of them logged or left the system, we undocked, found a Deimos, Taranis, and a Rapier and managed to kill the first two but the Rapier got away. We went back to the station where we started and redocked. The Rapier came back to the station and started taunting in local about how we suck and only fight when blobbed and how he'll take on all 8 of us. After listening to this for about 10 minutes (our corp has a rule about no talking to the enemy except for Good Fight), we all undocked and started blasting him. Unfortunately he insta-docked and logged.
It seems so much of Eve fighting (and probably all fighting) is choosing the battlefield. If you can choose where, when, and how to start a fight, most of the time you will win. These griefer wardec corps hate the fact that they can't fight us they way they want.

Yeah, our current targets, after unwisely deciding to try moving around the system in smaller groups, have now stuck religiously in large groups of battleships on the station undock. That's cool, and like i've said, very clever. It's a challenge to us (in younger characters, with less numbers, in smaller ships) to work out a way around it. If we don't, then we've killed more of them than they have of us, against the odds, and we'll pick on someone else next and maybe come back to this lot when we have more tonnage and a nano-BS to bump them with in a few weeks

Well my corp has a current lack of target corps - if someone wants to PM me the target corp name and the system(s) most of the action is happening in I'll see if my lot are up for the rumble (obviously for free )

Ok, so my corp just got wardecced by someone and we're located in the empire. What are the rules of engagement now then? Can we just shoot at each other anywhere without Concord intervening (near stations, jump gates)? Can we pod freely?

Once the war goes live (24 hours after you get the email) both side can engage and pod at will Concord look the other way

Yup, engage at will. They can camp your station, camp stargates in your home systems, track your missionrunners and kill them, etc. You can do the same.
You should all keep the Local window open, and add any of their members that you see to your Address Book. That way, you'll get a green pop-up if they're online, and a red one if they're not, even after they leave the system you're in. You should also show info on their corporation, and if they have a recruitment channel, join it and grab the names of everyone in there, add to address book and set -6 standing. It may be another way to find the names of some of their corp members and their hidden alts.
Try to set up safespots in your home systems, locate the nearest manufacturing hub where you can buy replacement ships from, stockpile whatever ships you can use in PVP and their modules, etc.

Is there something special about -6? Why not -10?

I think its a funky orange color...more distinguishable than the red -10 (since war targets are the same red with a star)

Just a reminder to keep war chat in the WARf13 channel.
Emperor Dano has been hanging out in the public channel all day.
Not even as an alt to hide himself, but openly taunting.
(Falconeer should have some good logs of the idiocy.)

Yeah, if you happen to -6 someone who's not in the corp that has declared on you, it'll be orange, not red. May be an alt, may be someone who wants to join them, or just wants to chat with them. In any case, if they're not ganged up, shooting them will get you concordokened, so I prefer different colors just in case.

This is important, people often forget that F13 isn't even sort of meant to be a secure channel, just a place to talk w/ everyone and get basic tips.

I'm looking for a new target to wardec. Keep your eyes peeled for a likely candidate.
May even consider a small alliance, but that would eat into our corp funds quite a bit.

Well, there's a rather stupid -- but well equipped -- band of pirates operating out near Arranon called "Pay Now, Inc". Can't say for size, though. Might just be one or two rich idiots.

Getting a fight with lowsec pirates isn't hard though. We need to wardec some small mission running corps. We could always run some bait ops on Pay Now considering how intelligent they seem to be. @Llyse & Merusk: You should come fly with us because you never know how long one of these f13 runs will last. But right now we've got a solid mix of player types and decent enough activity that its a decent amount of fun. Feel free to just start a new character on the trial and come fly though to check it out. Can never have too many frigates ^^
