Why is it that some people think that by jumping into a public channel and harassing the owners of that channel they’re going to influence a war dec in their favour?

It was within minutes of our wardec against Primary. on the 16th of February that several of their members jumped into our public channels and started running off at the mouth about how things were gonna be so bad.

[ 2010.02.16 04:05:29 ] Leykab > i know i couldn’t hold a striaght face either

Wow. I am terribly impressed with their colourful use of vocabulary, spelling and grammar. I don’t understand what bundles of wood tied together with string has to do with eve, mind you.

So let’s take a look at where we’re at right now. It’s day 4 of the dec going live. We’re running at just under 90% efficiency against them with 1.5b isk of damage to them so far. Since yesterday, it’s been virtually impossible to get a fight out of them and they seem to have pulled back to their nullsec space in Scalding Pass.

Face raped? Yep. There definitely has been some so far – but it’s been very one-sided. I’m having trouble keeping a straight face. I guess bundles of wood can hurt…

*** UPDATE 20 FEB 2010 ***

Parandin and I were sharing some s’mores and toasting marshmallows when we got wind that a large gang of Primary. targets were a system away and heading to our location. We docked up our cruisers and started fitting up battleships, knowing we’d finally (maybe) get a fight out them.

The Primary. gang jumped into our system before we were ready. While still fitting up our battleships, they opened fire in local with another trail of smack.

At this point, Parandin, Scipio and I undocked in our battleships. I was primaried (of course) and it was game on. Our guys jumped in and brought the odds to 14 of them to 7 of us. They deagressed and started spamming the dock button. I swear I could hear the sound of butt-holes snapping shut. In the interim, we relieved them of 4 ships and 3 pods. Yeah, there were a few more comments in local.

So… they enter local and smack. They get their asses kicked and smack. About the only thing they do is smack. And even that (like everything else they’ve showed us so far) is half-assed.

Maybe they’ll learn about that whole smack thing… but I’m not holding my breath.

– Check back for updates on this contract! –

So he hired us.

Within moments of our war dec going through, the CEO of the griefer corp convoed me.

[ 2010.01.17 04:03:03 ] Le Soltueur > you rang?
[ 2010.01.17 04:03:11 ] hightempo > aight aight, just tell me how much he paid and whats your %

[ 2010.01.17 04:04:21 ] Le Soltueur > lol

At this point, he closed the convo. I did a little investigating and found some “questionable” information in his bio, which he has since changed. At that point, I invited him to another chat to make sure that he understood where I was coming from.

[ 2010.01.17 04:08:14 ] Le Soltueur > I saw your bio

Resolution without a shot being fired. The griefers leave the indies alone and hopefully learn a valuable life lesson. Bullying someone has consequences you might not be prepared to face.

Solty.

Only problem was that he was in a noob corp, which means, we couldn’t war dec him. But with enough patience, opportunity will present itself…

Fast forward… we’re in Misneden waiting for a war target’s pos to come out of reinforced. With about an hour left, Jon’s Hauler shows up at the pos in an orca and makes a run for the shields. And bounces. Oops!

I seized the opportunity and had four very handy pilots: Maddox Tau, Varesk, Denalak, and Takana all bump the hell out of the orca so it couldn’t align. For 25 minutes, they bumped and jarred the orca while 10 of us (8 x ravens, 1 x tempest, and 1 x brutix) fit up fully insured, t1 suicide fits and marched dutifully back to Misneden.

Result? One dead orca. Each pilot involved in the suicide gank netted about 2.5M isk after buying a ship, insuring it with platinum insurance, fitting it, and losing it to Concord.

Video of the gank:
Jon’s Hauler Meets His Doom (20 mb .avi file)

Moral of the story:
Even if you’re in a noob corp, we’ll still get ya when the time is right.

-Solty

Moments later, Lord Cernyar invited us into a conversation to negotiate an end to a rather brutal war – we were at about 75% efficiency at that point – so we laid down our terms. They didn’t like them. Oh well. Stuff happens. Now there’s a CEO some of you will remember – JerichoSteele – who then tried to dictate his terms of surrender and apply his will on us. We laughed, of course, and carried on with our assault.

Jericho suffers from foot-in-mouth syndrome. Unfortunately, this has affected the rest of his alliance mates and he can’t seem to see it. That’s fine. We’ve stated our terms clearly.

Now, to be fair, they’ve tried to put up a good fight, mostly.

Some of the more memorable fights were in Dodixie when they showed up with some 25 battleships and 7 or so support, undocked into our 16 battleships and 2 support, and wound up somehow losing that fight. Badly. What was the total? 13 battleships and 5 support lost to our 1 battleship and 1 blackbird. Meh.

So now, a few station camps later (let’s face it, they just don’t want to fight), we find Jericho’s pos in Grispire. Sent out a few dreads to reinforce it, and when it came out of reinforced, we sent a few dreads and a few battleships to finish it off.

SURPRISE! Cry Havok. timed their cyno perfectly as we came out of siege. (Well done boys, well done indeed) and we lost 4 dreads (well 3 that were ours anyway). Where were the L0J people? The 3 that were there sprayed and prayed (just to get on the killmails) and then hid behind their shields while Cry Havok. spent the next 25 minutes taking down the dreads.

Again, GREAT job goes out to Cry Havok. – that was brilliant mates. And good fight!

The battle summary is HERE.

Once Cry Havok. cleared out, we killed the tower anyway.

Now, back to L0J (yes, I know this is a long story)…

Jericho convo’s me again to negotiate an end to the war. Once again, I lay out our terms clearly. Jericho seems to think that the loss of 3 dreads is an epic, crushing blow to us. LOL. Not.

Jericho decides to take it upon himself to try and make things “right”. He still hasn’t figured out that we just don’t like him. But kudos for trying. So I enter the conversation with Jericho and some of my officers and the convo goes something like this:

Jericho: I want this war to end.
Me: These are our terms. <blah blah blah>
Jericoh: You are not in a position to dictate terms!
Me (with kick to Jericho from conversation): wanna bet?

Now Jericho can’t leave well enough alone. He has to pick at the scab just to see if it bleeds and sends me an evemail:

negotiations
From: JerichoSteele
Sent: 2009.12.30 20:57
To: Le Soltueur,

You once mentioned that you place a very high value on intelligence. We have gathered a goodly bit of intelligence about your unit, and your method of operations. Your spy alts, your out of corp remote reppers/buffers, things of that nature. Including the fact that you have concluded NAP’s with every major mercenary group in the game, and as such cannot be hired to attack a large range of targets.

You also seem to be quiet pedantic concerning negative publicity on the forums. So I imagine when we post your recent losses, as well as the other information we have on you, what little credibility you have left will literally evaporate. And of course the screaming hissy-fit you will throw on the forums will only make you look worse.

Now, even though you have behaved like a complete asshole toward me, we have tried to do you a solid yesterday (she COULD have saved your ships) and we are trying to help you now. Walk away before this war destroys what you have worked so hard to build.

Now, I am prepared to offer some concessions so that you may save face and claim victory . . . I will leave LOJ, for a single day. You will get no money however.
I strongly suggest you either accept this offer at face value, or contact me to negotiate. Your loses have been catastrophic and the longer this war continues the greater the chance that you will offend one of our nul-sec allies. Not to mention that your win/lose/isk effieciency is going to hell in a handbasket.

P.S. NEVER conduct negotations in front of subordinates, if things go wrong you look stupid.

Oh I forgot to mention: We can prove you alter your killmails to mitigate the amount of ISK destroyed. Of course no one will care, but you’ll scream and holler which is what we want. . . .and some people who may be interested in hiring you will believe us!

Again, putting far too much emphasis on the dread loss, he sends an evemail off to the guys that lost the dreads claiming that he would have called off CH and we could have saved them. We’d all rather lose dreads and die fighting honourably than making a deal with a twit. Here’s his evemail to my pilots:

Capitol Ship Losses
From: JerichoSteele
Sent: 2009.12.30 21:38
To: XXXXXX, YYYYYY, ZZZZZZ,

I feel that I should inform you that your capitol ships involved in the recent Battle of Grispire did NOT need to die. Once the Cry Havoc trap was sprung our on-scene commander could have saved your vessels. She attempted to contact Le Soltuer to arrange your withdrawal (in exchange for ending the war), but he refused to communicate.

While I understand that this is a game, doubtless you worked very hard and for a very long time to aquire those capitol ships . . . and to see that sort of effort casually destroyed, when it could have been avoided, is disturbing to us. We sincerly hope you bear us no ill will because your commander led you into a trap, and was too stiff necked to even attempt to get out of it.

While we are not sorry to see your hard work go up in flames, we can empathize with your loss.

Fly safe in the future!

So now where are we at?

Well the war is still on. And it will be on until Jericho and his corp leave the alliance. Permanently. Feel free to stay tuned for more episodes of lolfits from Jericho and his perceived sense of righteousness.

In the mean time, Jericho, if you’d care to send me any more love letters, I’ll be happy to post them up for others to read.

BTW: The contract link is located HERE. I’m fairly certain that you’ll agree this war is fairly one-sided.

**UPDATE** 30 DEC 2009 21:20 EVE Time

Jericho did it again. His loose lips have given up another pos for us to attack.

Fricoure Local
[ 2009.12.30 21:19:25 ] JerichoSteele > You know we have a large POS in misneden
[ 2009.12.30 21:19:36 ] JerichoSteele > Go try and kill it
[ 2009.12.30 21:19:47 ] JerichoSteele > you should have MUCH better luck than you did with the last one

[ 2009.12.30 21:20:48 ] Le Soltueur > considering that it’s dead anyway, I guess it’s a completed objective.

So… off we go yet again to rid EVE of another POS.

**UPDATE** 03 JAN 2010 00:31 EVE Time

The Golden Knights tower in Misneden has been killed. It went down rather easily and without any real attempt at defense. We’ll be sure to thank Jericho when we see him for giving us the pos location.

**UPDATE** 04 JAN 2010 00:46 EVE Time

After finally coming to the realization that we weren’t lying when we said that Jericho told us where the Golden Knight’s tower was, Lord Stargazen had enough and withdrew The Golden Knights from Legions 0f Justice. TGKN were a valiant bunch and we had MANY good fights with each other. We wish TGKN well on their future endeavors.

This sparked a bit of internal drama within Legions 0f Justice and Jericho was given the option to leave or be kicked. Which ever choice was made is irrelevant.

The Free Haven Group surrenders to Underworld Excavators
From: CONCORD
Sent: 2010.01.04 00:46

The war between The Free Haven Group and Underworld Excavators is coming to an end. The Free Haven Group has surrendered to Underworld Excavators. The war will be declared as being over after approximately 24 hours.

The Free Haven Group is now out of Legions 0f Justice and our job is done.

The client, an industrial alliance, hired us because the target are the biggest bunch of smacktalking retards you could ever imagine. They wanted damage done. The client also had two POSes, however protection of these POSes was not discussed as part of the contract.

The target, a 130-”person” alliance (I use the term “person” lightly), decided to go after our client’s POSes in a little island of high sec in the Lonetrek region. After destroying the poses and stinking up local with their smack, they decided to take it to the eve-online forums, first, polluting our merc-services thread, then starting their own after our thread was locked.

This is when the damage started. Damage isn’t necessarily reflected in kills. With just the right amount of spurring, just the right amount of creative license, and a LOT of happy past-client, merc associates, and a crap-load of friends, this target was completely assassinated.

The campaign started with pictures. Nothing fancy, just enough to illicit a response. Pictures speak a thousand words.

Of course, this charged up the smack fest and began the polarization of the Crime and Punishment community. Those who know us quickly jumped on our side, including the client who, now seeing what the damage campaign would be capable of, posted the following:

LOL! This thread made my day.

@Le Soltueur and the rest of the UE crew: nicely done. This was one of the most unpredicatable and yet enjoyable outcomes we’ve gotten from you guys yet. Keep up the good work.

After a bit more smack, even The PitBoss (Privateers leader) tossed in his support with a picture and a caption:

You may talk the talk BUT somewhere along the line … Your toughness made a wrong turn …

  

 

   

 

 After more C&P jeering at the target, one of the wartarget smackleaders posted up trying to save face. The community were not about to let this happen. Neither was I. The second picture in the campaign was posted.

Now the fun is on. People are laughing at the target. The target is smacking up a storm in local, in every channel, in game, out of game, on the forums… and making themselves look like even bigger retards than they already do.

More smack, a dismissive post by yours truly, and then campaign pic #3.

I was pleasantly surprised that the “gay” talk from the target started to take a nasty turn. So much so that a moderater deleted several posts from the thread. This, of course, charged me up to create the coup-de-gras picture in the campaign, targeting the leadership and lead smacktards of the wartarget.

After this post and a couple of retalliatory smack posts from the war target, CCP locked the thread.

Sometimes the killboard is the measure of success against a target. Sometimes it’s not. But when you have a whole community band together to school a bunch of retards, it smells like win to me.

Thanks to all of our friends, associates, and “alts” (LOL!) who helped to make this a successful campaign.

Our target was a griefer corp that had been going after some indies. Familliar story so far? We were warned in advanced that this particular target liked to employ neutral remote reps. We scouted them out for our first engagement, and they had settled in on a regional gate in Tash-Murkon Prime, connecting to Bhizeba (Domain). They were grouped together at the bottom center of the gate and were waiting for us to jump in. There were a “few” neutrals floating around, but nothing alarming. There were 7 of them on the gate (in battleships) there were 9 of us on the other side of the gate (in battleships) and, after forumulating a quick plan, we chose to jump into them.

The battle lasted about 4 minutes. As our “bait” ship decloaked, they took it and started full dps on him. The rest of us decloaked and bee-lined it to him to get reps on. We did bring a couple of “friends” with us that were already in position and the reps started – enough to keep the primary alive until we closed enough range to bring him back from the brink of disaster – he survived with 10% structure and full armor. When the wartargets realized they weren’t going to break his tank, and that our dps was superior, they started to deagress, many of them jumping through the gate for saftey, others that weren’t scrambled warped off. In total, they had 12 on the field, 4 neutral reps, 1 falcon, and 7 battleships. We had 9 battleships and a neutral guardian.

There were no kills. There were no losses. This was a true stalemate, interesting as it was.

Over the next couple of days, there weren’t any major engagements. Nothing spectacular until the 3rd day when they brought a fleet of about 10 to Amarr to taunt us in local. The smacktalk was fail, to say the least. However, we obliged them. As they were starting to bug out because our numbers were getting close to even, we gave chase. Right back to the same gate. Same positions. Same strategy. This time, we brought from friends from F-OFF. DamienEx, Major Riven, and a couple of others to provide neutral logistics to us while we engaged them. We couldn’t afford to jump F-OFF through the gate and tip our hat, so we chose to go with the bait again. Our neutral eyes on the gate confirmed that they had:

3 x Geddons, 2 x Megas, 3 x Domis (and an extra neutral domi), a cloaked Falcon pilot, and that was about it.

We had 3 x Geddons, 3 x Domi’s, 1 x Phoon, 1 Suicide Raven (max shield buffer for primary aggro), 1 interceptor.

Most seasoned FC’s would look at a RR gang and target the weakest armor buffer/high dps first, in this case, the Raven. Secondary would likely be the Typhoon. That was plan for decloaking. Plans fail. They didn’t target the raven. They didn’t target the phoon. Instead, they went after one of the oldest toons in our corp in a geddon. When they realized that we brought friends, they switched up targets… to a domi. Finally, they locked on the raven while we’d all been pounding one of their megathrons to dust.

Their falcon decloaked and tried to get jams on some of our ships. ECCM for the win. No jams and… while trying to get jams, we all targeted him and let our sentries scare the crap out of him while the interceptor screamed in for the kill.

Then they popped our suicide Raven and tried to deagress and run. We managed to kill a geddon in the process and held the field again, fighting on their terms with their tactical advantage.

Had they primaried the raven, the DPS may not have been fast enough to take out the mega, or perhaps we wouldn’t have had 2 battleship kills. Who knows. Fact is, gate warfare is tricky business and there are lots of things to consider, but I’ll gladly fight on a gate all day then have to play station games.

A typical scenario at the Dodixie IX-20 station. The undock games. The painfully obvious “test my tank” games. But this time… was different. A Paladin undocked and our guy on the station went for tackle and put a point on him… but the Paladin still warped off! <insert gasps here>

What happened? He warped off to some safe spot and … wait for it… LOGGED OFF!

Game Mechanic Lesson #242 – Logging off with aggression

If someone at a station locks you and puts a “point” on you (i.e. tries to warp scram/disrupt), or utilizes ANY offensive module (a module that would get you concordokkened if you weren’t at war / have aggression rights to the target), then you start a 15 minute countdown called an aggression timer. This is a yellow timer located in the top left corner of your screen that says “Aggression Countdown xx minutes” and counts down from 15 mintues until the aggression flag goes away. If you are the person that has had the aggression against you, you still get the same countdown timer (which can be reset over and over to 15 minutes under certain circumstances with, or without, your knowledge).

So what? I have an aggression big deal. I can just log off, right?

Sure you can. In a station, you’re relatively safe. But if you’re out of station your ship and pod remain in space until the aggression countdown is done. That means that even though you logged off (probably to try to avoid being ganked) you’re still a target that can be scanned down in space, tackled, and blown up.

This is what happens when you log off with aggression.

Nuff said?

*** Foot Note ***
Jack Dant convoed me up to explain that it wasn’t really a logoffski. The pilot had taken aggro from a domi in a mission, went back to station to switch out into his “domi killing paladin”, and thought he’d get by our camp at the station with warp core stabs. He did manage to get by, but had an unfortunate crash-to-desktop and managed to log back in just in the nick of time to save his pod.

Reporting should cover both sides of the story, shouldn’t it?

Here are some of their common mistakes:

• Organizing an assault against us at their station with pilots flying ships that they really have no business flying
  (References here and here.)
• Slow-boating (AFK flying) in a faction ship from Rens to Amarr with an active war.
• My personal favourite – missioning during an active war in a faction battleship (fully faction fit) with known war targets in the area and not paying attention to local.

Blewzman isn’t new to this loss, by the way. He’d already lost this and this to the Suddenly Ninjas. The only added benefit is that this time we relieved of his pod as well – amidst horrific pleas for mercy in local. We’re mercs, not missionaries. We kill people for a living.

Blewzmann’s running a mission with his CNR.
Creone jumps into the mission and gets a point on.
[03:30:56] Blewzmann > asshole

Blewz has a heavy neut, sucks Creone dry and gets away. He doesn’t dock, sits at a safe. We get his ass nailed, jump his rump, and perform an aggravated sexual assault.

*SQUISH* goes the pod.

I’m guessing with pleas like that, he had to have 2-3 billion isk worth of implants in his clone that are now little more than a distant memory.

And that’s pretty much the status quo with these guys. If I said they weren’t learning from their mistakes, I’d be far too kind. If I said they were acting “dumber than a bag of hammers”, I’d be considered unfair to hammers.

Solty.

We were contracted to do evil and nasty things to the Deadspace Society. Mission accomplished.

First, we were hired to “disarm” their pos in highsec. It was a medium faction pos. The results of that are HERE. Then, we were asked to just go on a killing spree. We did that too.

What’s so different about this contract than most of the others?

 Well, for starters, despite the amount of losses these guys took, they kept coming. No matter what they lost, they’d venture out and lose more. They’d smack up a storm, somehow justify in their mind that they won, and just keep coming.

Some people call that bravery. I just call it stupidity. There’s a point in time where you just have to accept the fact that you are outmatched. That the likelihood of winning is so infinitesimally small that it just can not justify the risk/reward. These guys did not figure that out. And that’s ok. We like our kills.

One of the biggest challenges that DEADS had was flying ships they really had no business flying. They had people in battleships that couldn’t fit them out properly. They had a guy in a strategic cruiser that really had no idea how to fly it. They had a guy out mining in a hulk with an active war going on. So many fails. So many.

There are two main golden rules to PVP that you need to either know, or learn quickly. They are:

1. Do not fly any ship or fittings that you can not afford / are not willing to lose.
2. Do not fly any ship that you cannot fly well.

What does that mean? It means, if you can’t fit out a ship with a full rack of T2 gear, you probably shouldn’t be flying it into combat. Guys flying battleships with heavy missile launchers, arties for a station battle are doing it all wrong. Guys flying hulks during an active war are either just stupid or suicidal. Or both.

Discretion is the better of valour. It’s good to be brave, but it’s better to be careful. If you’re careful, you won’t get yourself into a situation where you need to be brave.

Hopefully, they’ve learned. Then again…
