Wars and Random Aggressions

I've been playing the game a bit sporadically since my last update, so I'm not sure exactly where to begin. Maybe with my war against New Trade Republic? Sure, let's go with that.

New Trade Republic
You will recall that for the last month or so I have been stomping these guys at every turn. They seemed to be completely incapable of adapting to war conditions, losing two Orcas and numerous mining barges, as well as a few combat ships. Their one victory was when I decided to take a fight against a Thrasher and a Vexor on their home station undock with my Merlin.

Lately NTR2 has been a bit more cautious. They no longer are taking Orca supported mining ops out with me one jump away. When I log in, they seem to dock up and go afk. I did kill a Procurer or two, and an Exequror Navy Issue a few days ago. I got in an engagement with a Brutix on the BCF undock in Hek, but a Cynabal warped in when I had him at around 60% armor. I debated taking them both on, but it seemed a bit much for my Nearly Invincible Merlin, so I disengaged. Shortly after that, all of them who were online showed up in local. I wanted to see what they had, so I unlocked in my Hurricane. I saw a Megathron, Navy Cane, Cynabal, some other things. They scattered and ran as soon as I appeared.

Around that time, I noticed my wallet blinking, and found that I had received a gift of 50 million isk. Then I got an EVE-mail.

This week of war is sponsored by Edrissa Ikesric

Last week I forgot to pay the bill and the war expired. I might have left it at that, since it is obvious that they will never pay the ransom, but then they booted me from their Teamspeak as I was trying to reach out to them and have a reasonable conversation, so now the war is back on.

Other Wars
You will recall that last time I mentioned that I had wardecced an alliance called Rush Unlimited. It turned out to be fairly ill conceived on my part. The first issue was that they were based far from home. Having to make 20 jumps to go after them stretched my resources and made it tough to capitalize on opportunities. They basically went into bunker mode and didn't make many mistakes. I lost a Merlin and a Gnosis in foolish attacks in their home system, decided to chalk it up as a loss and let the war expire.

I also wardecced a corporation called Gangplank Industries. They seem to be down for some goodfights, but I have been too distracted to really participate. I lost one Merlin and killed a Procurer and pod. This war will expire soon and I think I will let it, but may dec them again when I have the time to focus my attention on it.

The story of how this war began is actually more interesting than the war itself. I was considering them as a target, kind of just poking around to see what they like to do in peacetime. As usual, I was flying a Merlin. I spotted one of their pilots in a Raven on a gate, and on a whim I sent him a duel invite. He warped off to a station and accepted the duel while in warp, so I called him out on it in local.

At this moment I put in the wardec.

[ 2014.02.08 21:23:56 ] Larah Chun-Lee > but you cant destroy stuff in station

[ 2014.02.08 21:25:44 ] Megan DeMonet > till its over
[ 2014.02.08 21:26:03 ] Larah Chun-Lee > You got one hell of a grudge there
[ 2014.02.08 21:26:32 ] Kalim Dabo > I can't abide breaches of space-etiquette in my system
[ 2014.02.08 21:27:04 ] Kalim Dabo > however, i will forgive them for the right price
[ 2014.02.08 21:27:12 ] Larah Chun-Lee > lel i never knew you could own systems
[ 2014.02.08 21:27:20 ] Kalim Dabo > of course you can
[ 2014.02.08 21:27:41 ] Kalim Dabo > i own Nakugard
[ 2014.02.08 21:27:55 ] Kalim Dabo > ask Oscuro Gancho, who thought he could challenge me
[ 2014.02.08 21:28:28 ] Larah Chun-Lee > owww you are not at gate anymore
[ 2014.02.08 21:28:38 ] Kalim Dabo > coming back for you

I warp back to the gate and find him there with his Raven, put in another duel request, which he accepts, and the fight begins. I got a tight orbit on him and began killing off his drones one at a time. The incoming damage was barely tankable with my MASB until the drones were gone, at which point it wasn't too bad, but I still needed to burn off a cap booster charge every 30 seconds or so. I reloaded the ASB twice, maybe three times, and used up all the charges that I had, then had to pulse it on cap alone two times. The last one killed my scram, AB, and guns, but luckily he didn't manage to run away, and picked that moment to stop shooting and give up.

Right after that he sent a lovely letter apologizing and sent 50 million isk, but I decided to let the war go in anyway because I wanted to kill more noobs.


Ninja Baiting and trying new things

Playing with the Incursus in Lustrevik

I've been flying Merlins almost exclusively in solo PvP for a long time. Just to switch things up a bit I figured that I would fit an Incursus and do some ninja baiting with it. My regular readers will recall that at one point I announced that I intended to master the art of mission infiltration, then got distracted by other things and never spoke of it again.

Today in Lustrevik, I managed to goad a mission Drake into a fight by shooting his Mobile Tractor Unit and killed him handily with my Incursus. Managing the active armor tank will take some getting used to, and I only remembered that I had a drone after the fight, but I think I like this little ship. I offered him very reasonable ransom terms, but he rudely cursed at me and dropped the convo.

The Real Kalim Dabo?
Where is he? He spent an evening heckling me in Hek local, to the amusement of the locals, then hasn't been seen again. His war against me expired uneventfully. Such a shame, I had high expectations of him.

The Real Kalim Dabo?

I returned from my brief vacation this week, and went back to the business of hunting New Trade Republic pilots in and around Nakugard. I was surprised to find that in spite of being at war and having lost an Orca to a safari last week, they had recruited several new members. Several of their old members had quit, and the rest seemed to be too terrified to undock with me online. Their cowardly "allies", Gekkostate., had abandoned them to their fate.

Hunting and killing

random screenshot

I saw that the NTR CEO, Oscuro Gancho, had replaced his Orca and was mining ice with his alt in
Barkrik, so I jumped over and warped to him. I was defeated by the fact that the warp to the ice anomaly was a solid 120AU, giving him enough time to align and get away. He docked up, and I went back to Hek and logged off. A short while later, my spies informed me that he had undocked a Skiff and headed back to the ice, so I tried again. Again he escaped me. This time I set a logon trap in the anom, but he was spooked and didn't try again.

Later on that day, I killed a few of the new members, who were the only guys willing to undock. I killed a Coveter and a Velator, and killed a fellow by the name of SterlinArcher Archer twice in Ventures, podding him once. Following the second encounter he convoed me several times, called me a "dickbag", then left the conversation.

After several false starts like this, finally he got around to telling me how he really felt.


[ 2014.02.05 04:23:35 ] Kalim Dabo > hello again

[ 2014.02.05 04:26:20 ] Kalim Dabo > since you have 2 billion isk in "credits", why don't you just pay the ransom for your corp

[ 2014.02.05 04:33:50 ] SterlinArcher Archer > yup bitch

The Real Kalim Dabo
This morning I logged on and didn't see any war targets online, so I was running a couple of errands when I received an unsolicited convo request from a character named TheReal KalimDabo KalimDabo. I got the impression that he was trying to "grief" me, but I can't help but think that imitation is the highest form of flattery.

More Wars
I've been a bit disappointed with the low number of targets online, so I picked a random alliance called Rush Unlimited from the recruitment channel, got in their own channel to pump them for some intel, then offered them a choice - pay me 100 million isk or face a wardec. They chose wrong. An hour or so later, I find that they have hired some mercs to fight me. It will be interesting to see where that goes.

As I was making some preparations for that war, I got another notification. It turns out my secret admirer has a corp, and wants to fight. I suppose you will need to stay tuned to his blog to see how that one turns out.

The real Kalim Dabo founded the real Revolutionary Front. Stay tuned for details.

War Report: NTR - Part 2

So my one man war against New Trade Republic for control of the ice fields of Nakugard has been going pretty well. I didn't plan to post an update so soon, since I've only been logging on for an hour or so each evening after work for the last few days, and today I get on a plane and head for warmer climes for my vacation. I didn't really intend to pursue my WTs until I got back. However, some times you just have to be an opportunist.

More Retrievers
For some reason, despite a number of lessons on the topic, NTR guys and their "allies"in GekkoState. still haven't figured out that it's a bad idea to get in a Retriever, wander 3-5 jumps from any possible assistance, and go mining while under wardec. It always ends in one predictable way. I had just logged on to check my skill queue the other day when my spies informed me this was happening again, and I felt obligated to go and do something about it.

Help from an Unexpected Friend
The next day, I was flying around running a few unrelated errands, when I received a convo request from a fellow Belligerent Undesirable. It seemed he had applied to and been accepted in New Trade Republic, in spite of being a somewhat EVE famous corp infiltrator. The convo was kind of confusing (because he was in the middle of murdering his corpmates and had his hands full, I soon found out.) The gist of it was that something was going down in Aderkan and that I should be there.

I flew that way, and found several NTR guys docked up one jump out in Ogoten. I wrongly assumed that this was where the action was, and tried to coax them out of the station. During the next few minutes, several more of them arrived and docked up, all flying pods. I thought this was curious, but am a bit slow to put things together sometimes. Then I decided to check what was going on in Aderkan. In the ice belt I found my BU comrade murdering an NTR Orca with a Gnosis in the midst of a field of wreckage.

Reminder of Terms
The war is approaching one week old, so I thought it would be best to make contact with the NTR CEO once again and reiterate my extraordinarily reasonable terms. Yesterday I sent him and other concerned parties a quick message from my phone at work to remind them that they can opt to end this at any time. What reply did I get? Total silence. How rude.

Time to Get Serious
My gentle lessons in internet spaceship etiquette had obviously been falling on deaf ears. Up to this point I had been fighting the entire war in a Merlin, taking goodfights against superior numbers and larger ships, giving the WTs a fair shake by any standard.

When I logged in last night and saw an NTR ice mining fleet in Nakugard with 5 Skiffs and an Orca, I couldn't believe my eyes. How little respect these carebears have for me and the military might of the New Order. How little regard their CEO has for his members, even providing the Orca boosts himself. Obviously, it was time to get serious. No more dicking around in T1 frigates. A little shock and awe was called for.

I hopped into my Hurricane, warped to the ice anomaly, and pointed the Orca, then since I had thoughtfully fitted a second point, I tackled the nearest Skiff as well. The other Skiffs, bizarrely, engaged me with their drones and stayed on the field for some time, rather than going to get in combat ships. Their drones, however, couldn't put a scratch in my tank, and the cargo-fit Orca and Skiff went down quickly in a hail of auto cannon fire. The other Skiffs ran away and docked up before they could share the fate of their CEO and friend.

As I only had a moment to play, I went back to Hek. On the way I encountered a WT Thorax on the gate, and put it down quickly. His pod for some reason decided to slowboat to the gate rather than warping off, so I locked it up with agonizing slowness and put it out of it's misery too.

To NTR
I know you guys are reading this. Accept the terms. Don't be fools. As an added offer of goodwill, after you pay the ransom and I drop the war, I will gladly sit down with you on teamspeak and tell you how you could have killed me in every significant engagement we had, and how to avoid being targets for this sort of thing in the future.

Accept the terms. They are the most reasonable offer to end a losing war that you will ever see.

War Report: New Trade Republic

New Trade Republic is a highsec mining corp, 30 members, which is active in Nakugard. None of their members possesses a valid New Order mining permit, so on several occasions our people, myself included, have suicide ganked them, then politely instructed them on the Code and on how they can obtain a mining permit. The reactions we got were less than polite and respectful. At this moment in time, Revolutionary Front consists of just me, a few alts, and a few other guys who rarely log in lately. For some time it has been on my to-do list to try my hand at Cannibal Kane style solo wardecs, and this seemed like as good a time as any. So I paid my 50 million isk to CONCORD and declared war.

First Blood
About 15 minutes before the war went live, my top secret intel network located a soon-to-be war target mining in a Retriever, about 4 jumps from his closest corp mate. My legion of spies kept an eye on this target, and when there were about 2 minutes to go, I logged in my PvP character, Kalim Dabo. Then I boarded my trusty Merlin, hopped over quickly from Hek, warped directly to the belt and made the first kill of the war.

Since it was getting late for me, I returned to Hek, played gate aggro games for a few minutes with a gang of vengeful WTs, then docked up and went to bed, satisfied at having a positive war record 7 minutes into the conflict.

NTR Batphones for Help
Shortly after the war went live, I was informed that an ally had joined on behalf of the defender, an alliance called GekkoState., 74 members and a few active PvPers among them, primarily in low and null. I then received a mail from one of their members.

I decided at first that I would basically ignore these guys, in spite of Django's disrespectful attitude. They were not my intended targets, and I had enough people on my watchlist to keep track of. Perhaps I would put them on my list and deal with them later on.

On the second day of the war, my legion of spies informed me of a WT off on his own in Caldari space. It turned out to be a false lead, but on the way there, I ran into a GekkoState. pilot  named Item 8, who jumped into me on a gate in a Tayra. He then immediately abandoned ship and warped off with his pod, perhaps in a misguided effort to avoid a loss mail.

Gee, I wonder what this anti-New Order alliance guy was doing along a trade route in an industrial with a passive targeter and cargo scanner equipped? What kind of people has NTR associated itself with in it's war against the evil gankers?

doel soon and MrBlood
My army of informants soon notified me of another war target off on his own mining. So I made a few quick jumps with my Merlin and blapped a fellow named doel soon in his Retriever, then killed his pod for good measure, then went back to Hek and logged.

Within a half hour or so, I was notified that another one, MrsBlood theBloods, was out mining in a Procurer in NTR's home system of Nakugard, with his alt, MrBlood Tivianne, standing watch in a Vexor. Incidentally, the Mr/Mrs Blood couple are the ones whose big mouths caused this war to happen in the first place. Several others were in system, but docked. A warpin was arranged, so I logged in and went directly to his position, melted the face of the Vexor without taking any damage, and pointed the Procurer. I was taking some hits from the drones, so I eliminated them and continued chewing through his tank.

MrBlood reshipped to an Atron and returned to the fight. I weighed my options but found that the dps from the Atron was so feeble that I could easily tank all of it with an occasional pulse of the ASB, so decided I would overheat my guns, kill the barge, then kill the Atron if it was so foolish as to stay on the field. It was all going swimmingly for me until the Procurer hit about 25% structure, and I realized I had forgotten to turn off the heat and burnt out my guns. I had no choice but to disengage and let the Bloods go.

NTR begins to fight
At some point late in Day 2 of the war, I warped to the Nakugard gate in Hek. A number of WTs both in Hek and Nakugard were online, but everyone except Gancho Ohi, of GekkoState. seemed to be docked. Gancho was parked on the gate in a Drake. I scratched my head a bit, wondering who was really there and who was afk, then figured ,"Fuck it, what I got to lose? A Merlin?", so I went ahead and engaged the Drake.

I got a tight orbit, warp scrambled him and began pounding with my blasters. He unleashed two Valkyrie TP-600s (medium target painting drones), but they only took one volley each to blow away, then I concentrated all my DPS on his shields. He had a formidable buffer tank, but I steadily peeled it back to about 50%. His missiles were hammering on my shields, but not so badly that my ASB couldn't handle it. At that moment, a couple more flashy icons showed up in local chat and an unfriendly Thorax decloaked nearby, so I disengaged and warped away.

Then I decided to warp back to the gate and assess the situation. The Drake was gone, but the Thorax and a Catalyst were on the gate. They both immediately engaged me, so I jumped through. A Thrasher was on the other side. Acting fast to take advantage of the aggro timer, I switched to Null S and burned to the edge of scram range. As the fight began, I took a couple of hard volleys before I found the sweet spot, then burned him down fast. Just as the Thrasher got to about half structure, the Thorax, Catalyst and Drake all jumped through to our side of the gate and began shooting at me. I overheated my guns, aligned to a celestial, and as the Thrasher popped, I spammed the warp button and made a clean getaway.

The Pain of Loss
Sometimes I'm a sucker for a good fight. It is my weakness as a pirate. One the third day, I decided to take on the same Thrasher pilot I had killed the day before, plus his friend MrBlood in a Thorax. The Thorax was at long range, so I figured I could kill the Thrasher, then burn over and kill him. I almost pulled it off, too, but somehow the Thrasher managed to escape in structure, and when I was well along into the Thorax's armor, he warped back into us at his perfect optimal range and opened fire. I attempted to disengage and failed, losing my Nearly Invincible Merlin after only 6 kills.

I redeemed myself the next day, when once again my enormous and secret network of intelligence agents located MrBlood a couple jumps away from help doing things he really shouldn't be doing under a wardec. In this case, he was running a mission in a Vexor.

When I warped in on him in a shiny new Merlin, the fight was over almost before it began. I melted his face, and then melted his pod's face. Then I looted all the mission loot I could carry, and melted the faces of all his wrecks for good measure so he wouldn't be able to come back and profit from them. I felt justly avenged.

Enlisted an Ally: CONCORD Police Captain
Just this evening, my omniscient order of secret agents noticed a WT Skiff and Orca in the ice fields of Nakugard. Seven or eight other WTs were online, but without testing them I had no way to know who was at the keyboard. So once again I popped up where they didn't want me to be, pointed the Orca, killed a few drones, and soon dscanned the whole gang of them, cruisers, frigates and battlecruisers, warping down on top of me. So I disengaged, warped to a safe, considered my options, then made for the Hek gate. Maybe four of them were there, including my old friend Gancho Ohi in his Drake. I let them get aggro and jumped.

As the gate effects start, I see the old familiar notice pop up on the screen, "Gancho Ochi, criminals are not welcome blah blah blah, prepare to be destroyed". I land in Hek and quickly burn back, escaping being blapped by a Tornado on the other side, and jump back to Nakugard, not to miss the spectacle of seeing a WT get CONCORDed in front of my face. I'm still not sure what he did, he wouldn't tell me when I asked. My guess? Smartbombed the gate maybe? zKillboard won't say yet.

In any case, it was a very satisfying thing to watch. I only wish I had acted quickly enough to get it on the war record, even though it probably would have cost me my second Merlin to do so. In any case, I know it was a win for the good guys, and Gancho knows it too.

Time to Offer Terms
I figured at this point that the war record, while lacking anything spectacular so far, could still speak for itself. 9 kills (counting Gancho) to one T1 frigate loss. I'm not claiming to be great at this, but I am obviously winning by any measure, not to mention having a great time.

So I reached out to NTR's CEO and layed down my terms for ending the war. I'm new at this sort of game, so I made a very reasonable offer. I am going back and forth between what can I realistically get them to pay, and whether I want the war to end at all, since it is so much fun for me. In the end I demanded 250 million isk plus any additional war fees that may apply.

Vacation
While the war continues, sometime in the next few days I will be going on vacation (in the real world). I will be heading out to camp in a cave on a lonely mountain in the desert, to fast and meditate on the Code. I could be gone for a few days, a week, a month, 40 days and 40 nights, who can say?

In any case, the war fees are on auto-pay, so when I get back I plan on turning up unexpectedly just at a moment when NTR wishes I hadn't and ruining their day.

A dead Mack and an irate wartarget on a tear about suicide ganking

Having achieved our objectives of bringing Solitude to 100% Code-compliance and annihilating all of our enemies there, the Revolutionary Front has deployed to Hek, to bravely confront the carebears of Metropolis. To this end, my alt hopped into Nakugard and executed a Mackinaw today.

Domnita Soim is the CEO of Portia Squad, who as near as I can tell is some kind of market hub camping white knight anti-ganking wardec corp. Not really sure what their game is - they wardecced us on our first day in Hek, apparently for talking in local about miner bumping. Since then they followed us around a bit, taught a couple of our newer members a valuable lesson about not afking at safe spots, and generally haven't affected our operations at all. Since most of our pilots are outlaws already, a wardec isn't the wisest way that our enemies can spend their 50 million isk, but they are welcome to it if it makes them feel better.

Since Domnita declared war, I hadn't had any occasion to speak to her until today. It seems that she was hanging out in Nakugard ranting in local about suicide ganking when I arrived in system. At first I thought that I had set her off, then I noticed that there were 15+ other guys in local who were blinking red, all of them with Russian bios, most belonging to null sec alliances.

A quick look at the battleclinic link that Domnita was angrily spamming in local revealed that these
happy Russian fellows had been on a suicide ganking binge, targeting the local mission running population in the area, and very effectively killing them with large numbers of Thrashers. I suddenly realized that I was in the presence of true heroes.

Will Domnita post a rage-thread about ganking in the EVE Online forums, as s/he has promised? Will CCP be convinced to "finally nerf suicide ganking" as a result of the compelling arguments that s/he presents? Will the heroes of Mother Russia be defeated by Domnita's clever meta-gaming tactics? Only time will tell...

Progress in Boystin

Our small but growing group has been making progress in our ongoing community service project in Solitude. Today the system recieved a visit from a self described "white knight" and anti-New Order guy, Hitamino.

On this occasion, the belts were filled with code-compliant permit holding miners, having recently been cleansed by our noble Knights. See how they tell him where he can stick his "anti-ganking service".

[18:22:37] Hitamino > i dont ever ask for payment for anything
[18:22:46] H3donism Bot > Hitamino the 10 mil fees are a drop in the bucket - just a symbolic gesture really

[18:23:48] H3donism Bot > Hitamino the fees aren't our means of support - charitable donations are
[18:23:52] Hitamino > gullible people that pay up only encourage you to do more
[18:24:12] H3donism Bot > so far over 170 billion in donations from well-wishers collected
[18:24:15] Hitamino > what they should do is what the rest of us do and tell you to fuck yourselves
[18:24:25] Hitamino > mmmhmmm

The Pacification of Solitude - Beginnings

Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant

The new Revolutionary Front has kicked off its first major community service project - bringing the remote highsec islands of Solitude into compliance with the New Halaima Code of Conduct. This region has always been near and dear to my heart as the place where I spent much of my time in EVE University and where I started FCing small PvP gangs (shout out to my Solitude Rifter Team bros). It made me sad to fly around and see the belts occupied with AFK miners, multiboxers with names like "Titan Miner 1", "Titan Miner 2" and so on, and unguarded enormous freight containers stuffed full of ore littered about all over the place. So I decided we should do something about it.

Welcome to Solitude
We set up shop in Boystin(0.5), the local trade hub, and began bumping miners all over the region.  The locals, sadly, did not immediately welcome us with open arms.


[ 2013.12.26 21:57:50 ] Gray Spike > Attention Solitude miners, gankers, and xoth, for every 1 billion in damages you do Revolutionary Front and any other james whats his face. I will give you 100mill for the lols, if you manage to pop large value ships up to 250mill per 1 bill. have fun!
[ 2013.12.26 21:58:08 ] Kalim Dabo > yelowfff trojan has been bumped
[ 2013.12.26 21:58:25 ] Kalim Dabo > Gray Spike  Revolutionary Front pilots are invincible
[ 2013.12.26 21:59:30 ] Kalim Dabo > Celebrate, friends,  weissfff  whitefff  yellowfff and company have fled the anom, another victory in the struggle of humans vs bots
[ 2013.12.26 21:59:55 ] Kalim Dabo > hail james 315!

Following this exchange, we were wardecced by the notorious alt-holding corp Version 2.01, who then proceeded to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of our elite combat pilots, and were utterly crushed and destroyed before the wardec even had time to go live.


First shots fired
As we got more resources into the area, we began some ganks, as well. The first miner to die was Cirle Lanart, whose failfit Retriever had been hanging around the belts since we had moved in. Three times he was bumped out of range, and three times sat there for 30 minutes or more before reacting. His crimes were many, and he refused all efforts to initiate communications. After being ganked, his pod floated in the belt for a full 20 minutes before I felt obligated to go back and put it out of it's misery.

The price of non-compliance

Pretty soon, our headquarters in Boystin was a ghost town, local population having dropped 50% or more, the belts littered with the abandoned drones left behind after mining barges and exhumers had been destroyed, looted and then salvaged for the cause.

Everywhere I went in the region, local chat was abuzz with word of the new order. The rebellious locals feared us, and tried to build up their courage with shallow mockery and insults. Some, however, could see through their false bravado to the truth...

[ 2013.12.31 02:16:27 ] jason Valdez > bro.  no one out here will pay you.  No one care.  the only reason i am talking about it or you is you are makeing my local blink
[ 2013.12.31 02:17:05 ] Haedonism Bot > jason Valdez you may not care now, but you will soon if you mine without a permit
[ 2013.12.31 02:17:17 ] Haedonism Bot > always cheaper in the long run just to pay
[ 2013.12.31 02:17:44 ] Socket Toomey > LOL almost no one mines out here. We are just screwing around. This area is a mission area. Good luck making anything.
[ 2013.12.31 02:17:58 ] Haedonism Bot > Socket Toomey i see miners every day
[ 2013.12.31 02:18:16 ] Haedonism Bot > so obviously you are wrong

[ 2013.12.31 02:18:39 ] jason Valdez > dont mine.  I actully make money now.  I have half a mind to now.  sense you couldnt possible stop me.
[ 2013.12.31 02:19:09 ] Haedonism Bot > Stormrayje it is true that miners are our primary focus, but all of highsec is our sovereign space, and we will enforce order however we must
[ 2013.12.31 02:19:13 ] Socket Toomey > I think they will get bored quick out here. It's been tried before. We've put up with a lot of shit over time in Solitude and the punks always move on.
[ 2013.12.31 02:19:57 ] Stormrayje > lol you live in hisec because you can take advantage of game mechanics to harass thats all there is to it
[ 2013.12.31 02:20:21 ] jason Valdez > Just letting you know i move through space afk most of the time.  feel free to try and gank me
[ 2013.12.31 02:20:49 ] Haedonism Bot > jason Valdez duly noted, thank you
[ 2013.12.31 02:21:15 ] Stormrayje > so sex bot, did you just rejoin your corp to avoida wardec?
[ 2013.12.31 02:21:16 ] jason Valdez > hell if you manage to gank me i will give you 100m
[ 2013.12.31 02:21:36 ] jason Valdez > you or you noob mates
[ 2013.12.31 02:22:44 ] Haedonism Bot > Stormrayje no sir, don't know why you would think that. I was on sabbatical with Suddenly Ninjas, and just returned
[ 2013.12.31 02:22:44 ] jason Valdez > i have been playing a long time.  I have had much more impressive try
[ 2013.12.31 02:23:25 ] Stormrayje > sabbatical?  so what like, taking abreak from being a dick?
[ 2013.12.31 02:23:43 ] Stormrayje > tired of being in the cross hairs all the time?
[ 2013.12.31 02:24:09 ] Haedonism Bot > Stormrayje how rude! Mind your manners when speaking to a law enforcement officer.
[ 2013.12.31 02:24:31 ] Stormrayje > you expect anyone to take you serious with that name?
[ 2013.12.31 02:24:33 ] Stormrayje > meow?
[ 2013.12.31 02:24:49 ] Stormrayje > go chug a bottle of syrup ossifer
[ 2013.12.31 02:27:05 ] Ekcim > All I've gathered from this conversation is that the New Order agents are polite gentlemen, and that miners are rude children.
[ 2013.12.31 02:27:16 ] Socket Toomey > Give em time he needs to pull the orange starpped ball out of his mouth to speak
[ 2013.12.31 02:27:32 ] Haedonism Bot > allright, gentlemen, as much fun as this is, I just logged on to check my mail, need to sleep, have a nice evening
[ 2013.12.31 02:27:50 ] Socket Toomey > gonight
[ 2013.12.31 02:27:52 ] Stormrayje > Ekcim keep telling yourself that while they politely bend you over
[ 2013.12.31 02:28:14 ] Haedonism Bot > Ekcim there is much truth to what you say...

One local rebel even saw fit to issue himself a forged mining permit and brag of it to one of our agents in chat. Don't be deceived if you see these, friends! While convincing to the casual observer, you can tell that the permit is a fake because it's bearer is a Code violating asshole.

Hints of Success
Not all Solidudes and Solidudettes, however, hate and fear the New Order and the Revolutionary Front. As we take action against the code violators and hopeless carebears, we begin to hear quiet words and hints of support for our cause.

[ 2014.01.02 01:42:15 ] Hero Avada > you bro.

We have noticed Catalysts and fittings mysteriously appearing on the markets at favorable prices in favorable locations, a quiet tip of the hat from the true EVE industrialists who understand that our cause is their own. And today we sold our first mining permits in Solitude.
