we're back, baby

War activated - see first post.

I was copying and pasting the names in the first post to create my war target buddy list last night and was getting one of them as being not found. I think it was Lokiedo.

[17:09:25] Emperor Dano > what was the motive to war dec us?
[17:09:36] Bhodii > well, we wanted a little pvp skirmish
[17:09:58] Bhodii > and our base is about this area, so we looked around this system for some people and you guys seem a likely bunch
[17:10:10] Bhodii > you'd have to talk to irek for specifics, I am just a grunt..

[17:14:08] Emperor Dano > cant pod in high sec

[17:14:51] Bhodii > that's kind of the point of a wardec
[17:14:55] Emperor Dano > then come out =)
[17:15:09] Bhodii > er, no? I have 2M sp. What the hell do you think I'm flying, a carrier?

Either one of these alone would make me think "is he clever and bluffing weakness or does he really believe that and bluffing strength?" Together, he is either convincing or chuckleworthy.

Hopefully i'll be on later. I'm intrigued to find out which he is.

Add:

Emperor Dano
DEMONICUS 666
Lokie00
Lillegutt

Bhodii was away, so I had to take this.

Nelke Cronspect > Y HELO THAR!
DEMONICUS 666 > lol
DEMONICUS 666 > hi
DEMONICUS 666 > invite <url=showinfo:1383//378521914>Bhodii</url> in chat
Nelke Cronspect > I believe he is not present at the moment.
DEMONICUS 666 > ahh
Nelke Cronspect > Anyway, how does this concern me or can I ignore this?
DEMONICUS 666 > ya it concerns u
Nelke Cronspect > Elaborate, please.
DEMONICUS 666 > ur in bed with this pvp corp that wardeced us
DEMONICUS 666 > so we are war deccing u
Nelke Cronspect > Splendid. I understand your reasoning. However, I don't really see a point.
DEMONICUS 666 > so tell ur miners to get ready for a nice little party
DEMONICUS 666 > ull see our point soon enough
Nelke Cronspect > I'll try to do that.
Nelke Cronspect > Wonderful. I like parties. I hope there is cake. Anything else?
DEMONICUS 666 > nope cya
Nelke Cronspect > Farewell!
Nelke Cronspect > Oh darn, he hopped off so quickly I couldn't even wish him luck : (

Does he realise that goons and tri are also linked to this? Will he wardec us as well?

I undocked and had a look. Heavy hitters indeed! No less than three ravens after my little inty. One of them had T2 hammerheads. An Onyx shoved up too.

Is it rude to take out an Eagle and snipe at their drones do you think?

FOF missiles for the win?

FOF missiles for the win?

You maybe thinking of falcons, or rooks or blackbirds?

Quote from: gimpyone on January 12, 2008, 02:27:37 PM

Ravens in Pvp? awesome, for real

Actually ravens make a good heavy hitter at close range with the changes to torps from my understanding, the only problem is they need tacklers.

Wow, apparently we wardeced the most arrogent corp on Empire. Ohhhhh, I see.

Getting camped @ Sankkasen VIIm6 by

PHOENIX DARKANGEL
Ti Tar
Johny Blaze
Emperor Dano
Jane's War
Raytian

Yeah. We need more people.

Pfft, let 'em camp for a couple of days. We know how to play that game.

(If people don't care about this stuff I won't post, but it's kind of funny to me anyway)

[02:57:26] Bhodii > Hello again!
[02:57:32] Emperor Dano > why wont your corp fight us?
[02:57:48] Bhodii > What a silly and pointless question
[02:57:55] Emperor Dano > this is beyond boring

[02:59:35] Emperor Dano > so we can actually DO something
[02:59:55] Bhodii > I kind of like the station simulator I'm playing right now
[03:00:10] Bhodii > and it seems to annoy you, so there are bonus points there. I think I'm going to Ding! soon.
[03:00:10] Emperor Dano > why war dec if your not going to fight?
[03:00:42] Emperor Dano > thats ok with us
[03:00:47] Emperor Dano > your the ones paying for the war
[03:00:55] Bhodii > Indeed.
[03:01:06] Emperor Dano > hide as long as you want i guess
[03:01:27] Bhodii > I'm just happy I'm wasting 4 other people's time by camping my little self. It makes me feel all important
[03:01:38] Emperor Dano > your not wasting our time

[03:05:28] Emperor Dano > nope just that im going to personally blow you up =) "noob" or not ill still brag
[03:05:51] Bhodii > Righto, you enjoy that. This is my main, with 2,023,712 SP and counting

Looks like you guys hit the mother lode this time! And please don't stop, want to see more chat, this is almost as entertaining as the WAR thread Thumbs up!

Dear god, I think I got a headache reading that...

Indeed, this thread is full of win.

If you only blow up one ship let it be that fucktard that thinks he doesn't have to spell because he is European!

Let's never stop wardeccing these guys. Seriously. I was going to be flying a HAC on the Groundskeeper within two days, but change of plans: I get into a mega today, and should be doing decent damage in a couple more days. Those ravens they have are making me salivate. I'll bet they're using rigged, t2 ratting ravens.

This wardeccing is more fun than I ever imagined!

It's also very interesting to see how different the aces and the eagles responded to it. Oh, and I vote Bhodi as head diplomat.

These guys rule the intarweb.

Hey, those are the Ace's and Eagle's. Those apostrophes don't run.

To be fair, they've come up with a tactic that is keeping them safe: everyone into battleships and sit on the undock, smacking from safety. However, it is also counterable if they make it predictable. And when they get bored of it and start running missions again...

Sure. They're likely reading our forums though. It'd be cool to get the war forum up again for that kind of thing.

Their corp name is the Ace's and Eagle's. We are never told just what the possessive form relates to. Ohhhhh, I see.

Sure. They're likely reading our forums though. It'd be cool to get the war forum up again for that kind of thing.

I agree completely. I think the thread I posted is the only one for the best part of a year, though.

So, I undocked in a shiny new domi. And 'lo! There's a Maelstrom sitting like 10 km away. It has a red star on it.

I wonder what that means?

Actually, two more battleships, Ravens I think, show up as attack the Maelstrom so I take a bit of damage, but manage to kill the Maelstrom before warping off to a planet and then a safespot with half my hull :).

BTW, they use torps on the ravens and they hurt a bit. Range might be an idea.

edit: Look at that WEIRD fitting on the Maelstrom? What is that?

Quoted in full because this is awesome you are awesome.

That fitting is glorious, and everything I expected of them. Two different sized autocannon, two different sized artillery, assault missiles, standard missiles... target painter spotted! And a 200mm plate on a battleship?!? I was wondering how you took it down with only 28439 damage dealt!

Some additional names -

Demonicus 666
Tyrfing IV
Ti Tar
Lillegutt
Lokie00
Emperor Dano
Binnsman

I googled them just on a whim, and their name came up on some killboards, and also of Emperor Dano selling GTCs for 360 mill on Eve-O.

Here are the killboard links. They have interesting fittings there as well.

Btw the values on the board still seem odd. The solo kill of a BS is only worth 35 mill.

Perhaps they subtract the insurance?

Oh good, I was looking at it thinking, "WTF" Then I started wondering if Eve had changed so much in the last year that this is, somehow, a pvp fitting now. Glad to see I was right in my initial reaction.
