Ok, due to a few technical difficulties with our hosting here is DOW Episode 10 in it’s emergency new home.

The links may change, but the time it’s taken us to get this thing published is just starting to get a bit silly, so we’ve had to take drastic measures.

As you’ll hear it’s just a wee bit out of date, so we’ll look to do a Christmas one at some point.

Declarations of War Ep 10.

Thanks to Chribba for EVE-files hosting services

News update for those that are interested: Alek has stepped down for the Chrimbo period and appointed Taram as the new Lord High Emperor of All That Is Noir.

We’re still accepting contracts over the holidays…

…so, if you have a problem, if no one else can help,

and if you can find them, maybe you can hire…

Ok all, I know that there’s been a lot of clamouring for information on the Declarations of War podcasts, and I wanted to try and answer the pressing question on everyone’s lips…

Thanks for your patience while we got this one whipped into shape. In the future our plan is to record every Sunday and release the following Saturday, which gives your crack editing team of Kan3r Blaze and Jimer Lins a week to sort their schedules and give the audio the lovin’s it requires.

So, without further ado, this week’s agenda:

• Opening- Weekly schedule? We’ll try!
• Shoutouts (it’s short this time, we promise!)
• Contract Review: Blue Sky Consortium and the Mercenary Event of the Summer
• Why aren’t we on R&R?
• What happens when you send nearly all the merc corps in the game to take out one tower and hire the rest to defend it
• Petitions about dodgy wardec mechanic manipulation.
• Missions are boring. So is ratting.
• A word to our “competiton”.
• EVE News:
• Scamming for alliance tournament slots? Fair or foul?
• What about if it’s a CSM member doing it?
• Northern Coalition vs the “xx<noun>xx” alliances
• Channel Four News Team does what is probably the best homage to a fallen comrade ever. Six motherships down, THIS. IS. SPARTA! style on a lowsec gate.
• lolgoonpropaganda
• This Week in Mercs:
• Duty. closes their doors?
• Night Wolves and xxx<something>xxx get their acronym on.
• What should Noir. stand for?
• The Little Black Ops Merc Corps that could or could not?
• Jimer has a few words about GMs and the fabled 3-second petition.
• Closing notes and signoff.
