IT Alliance

Being in MVN in IT these days is hard. With X13 and Finfleet not deploying or doing anything for 3 months and then leaving, and now rumours that DICE was simply waiting for a titan to come out of the cooker so they could screw off too.

We have been fighting our tails off during USTZ against overwhelming odds to have the EUTZ do... nothing. Pretty depressing.

6VDT is a joke-sorry NC, but there aren't any assets in that system. We all evacced to Delve about 2 days before. Some random battleships is about it.
The funny part is-NC is going to chestbeat saying they brought down IT.

Funny because the corps in questions had plans to leave months ago. I know its good for propoganda, but IT was starting to crack at the seams 2 months ago. The CEO issues would have cracked with or without a Fountain campaign.

Sad that these corps who think they're hot shit don't even log in anymore. The new alliance formed by Finfleet and X13 made their debut by losing 2 titans and 2 supercarriers in curse :lol:

So they left for "greener" pastures and now the "new" "bob" corps are left holding the bag. Pretty rotten deal-an alliance is a bond where corps look out for each other. In IT its every man for himself, with the exception of some of the smaller corps. STK, NEXE, MVN, and SUITS (whos constellation is being hit in Fountain, and the old corps aside from RKK did fuck all to help them sadly) have been bleeding and fighting constantly.

Its a pretty rotten deal all around. Who knows what the future holds?

EDIT: On behalf of emo'ness, the people in Anzac who have been fighting (BUNDUS! :-) ) have also been doing pretty great too.

I received a response the next morning:

Your ban was only for 1 day and after this you will be able to log in again. If you do see any other players spamming in local or linking to offensive content then please do file a petition and we will investigate each case. The reason that you received the ban and not a gag or a warning was because of the previous gags and warnings on your account.

I think I've been gagged twice in the past 2 years. Oh well. To make matters even more comical after 1 day had passed I was still banned. So I responded to the petition again and got this:

 So.... with 50 people spamming local-mainly test and goons-PK gets a ban. I know the haters that read this blog (why if you hate it so much I don't know) will laugh. But the normal players of the game-I mean for real.

Is it even possible to outspam Goons or Test in local?

[QUOTE=The Mittani;161874]i checked this bad thread because i'm bored because all the it fanboys have vanished, too busy fleeing to empire to post
but yes phreeze is correct amidst wallowing in the agonies of thousands people who i love nothing more than to hurt in eve online, a bad game, i have taken time out of my sadism to be really angry about one of elendar's gangs
on this day, the day where we cascaded molle's alliance a second time[/QUOTE]

I laughed. The Mittani really got us, I can confirm that all my ships are now safely in empire :)

IT ALLIANCE IS COLLAPSING. oh wait...

Its pretty much standard news now-X13 and Finfleet are having diplomatic issues with some other alliance entities. If you have no idea what I'm talking about just visit Kugustumen.

The basic gist is this. During the Catch campaign some restructuring went on involving the command structure of the alliance. Power shifted around and those that found themselves with less of it were unhappy.

X13 & Finfleet were on one side while RKK & BNC were on the other side. MVN and other corporations stayed neutral. Finfleet and X13 have not deployed to Fountain (aside from a few pilots) and RKK was deploying to Fountain in some limited fashion (although as of late their numbers have increased).

This led to a serious lack of power in the EUTZ (as was pointed out time and time again by about everyone).

This came to in impass two days ago when X13 and Finfleet came up with a list of demands that had to be met or they would leave. Most of the demands were quite reasonable and fell in line with the way MVN operates already. Trim the fat, get rid of the useless, let the FCs run the military ops etc. Then there was one dictating the CEO of a corporation-something that only the membership of that corporation has a right to decide.

As a result of these demands it appears inevitable that X13 and Finfleet will leave IT. I personally agreed with most of the things they had to say; however, the manner in which they went about making their points was pretty childish. Refusing to deploy? For the past 2 months this refusal to help the alliance while other corporations certainly depleted credibility with the rest of the alliance to the point that when this list of demands was made no one really wanted to help them no matter how valid their points were.

So-if they do end up leaving for certain, the end result?

Two corporations that weren't even deployed or fighting will be gone and absolutely nothing will change. This makes the smack in local about us failcascading and crumbling all the more hilarious. I especially love the TEST local spam of "get out" and "leave our space" as if they don't really want to fight for it (thats the fun part, for reals). Despite the crapping out of TCUs in completely worthless systems just to say they have sov in Fountain the fight is far from over.

Oh and last night I took a snipe hac gang of 30 vs 30 Gentleman's agreement.

Gentlemans wouldn't fight and instead had 90 TEST bridge into the fight, which were scouted before they even formed up on their titan. Anticipating a fight I waited in RE- hoping for it, ready to start shooting when the cyno went up. Sure, we could have run at that point but I figured we would get some easy kills. Sure enough, Broadsword warps in (useless) and Rapier pops cyno. In comes the blob. We shot some, warped off, shot some more in the next system, and I would have continued a run and gun engagement, except for the inside intel the enemy blob was getting. When their tackle was on our out gate before we were and their main fleet landed at the same time I knew they had TS spy, and lost 5 HACs to that spy. OH NOES!

Small TS though-and personally I would never burn my NC spy for a 30 man HAC gang (maybe a titan)... so I laughed and used a fleet warp to get the rest of the gang out. TEST with their massive gang in system seemed to think that this engagement was decisive in some way... I just smiled and took the gang home. Sure we lost some but to burn a potential spy? Worth it. That and their tackle was complete fail, we should have honestly lost most of my fleet with the intel they were getting but they biffed it and instead I got several more kills before safing gang up. I was somewhat dissapointed in Gentleman's agreement though, I would have liked an even fight as they seem competent without the 100 man TEST gangs. That and Gentleman know how to communicate in local-similar to old Goons. TEST don't know how to-they CTRL C and CTRL V everything, no original content... no real thought into the smack, only really scrolling local up. Almost makes me shed a tear :)

To the cries of "run run run" I answer with this. How many times have I roamed 30 guys into Cloud Ring and never gotten a fight despite 100-200 NC online around Cloud Ring? Without 4-1 odds in favor of the NC my chances of getting a fight are basically 0.

Makes me smile :)

That is all.

Fights

Last night was a decent night for roaming. We tussled with gangs from various NC entities and Rote Kapelle.

Rote Kapelle was the most chill (even though some of them hate me), and NC was 2/3. By that I mean one gang hid in a pos, Gentlemans Agreement fought us but bailed when we dropped the hammer (props for the fight) and WI brought a large destroyer gang in and got face raped and then hid in a pos with whatever was left.

Roaming Cloud Ring we couldn't get any fights despite large numbers of TEST in 00TY- local. They fought in local chat rather than form up their awesome ahac gang :)

We burned halfway to a low sec tower and killed Prometheus Exenthal in a Domi. Hes a chill frig pilot whos damn good-just got caught in the wrong place. http://www.mavericknavy.com/killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=52130

Burned back to 6VDT as it was late and we had an op early in the morning (that I didn't make due to work).

If you hadn't heard IT had a rough time this morning. We held sub cap field but NC actually brought the whole gang to the fight including supers from Morsus Mihi and Majesta etc. etc.

ITs lack of show, especially from some of the corps who haven't deployed as they should led to a total lack of super presence and led to the death of two titans and some supercarriers.

Goons will chestbeat (its what they do) Test will try and chestbeat (they are learning) but the bottom line is-when you have 40,000 people it doesn't take a high participation to drum up numbers. With PL out of Venal MM and Razer are now able to move further south and help their "bros" out. The failure in the intelligence-not knowing that Goonies had batphoned all of their napped brethren-led to a messed up situation when Northern NC entities started dropping supers.

The other piece of the puzzle is the new patch. For those that haven't noticed yet, right clicking on your capacitor for jump beacons or cynos is gone.

Gone.

Instead you have to open your navigation window-which in many situations is a valuable tool. In a shitty ass CCP fucked laggy environment its a window that DOESN'T OPEN.

Hats off to CCP-you managed to attempt a fix on something that wasn't broken. Again.

and screwed it up royally.

So when the order to jump out was given-guess what?

No one could load the navigation window or fleet window = no one could jump out.

Y-2 Karma came and and bitch slapped IT. Not as hard but similar in that a new patch managed to pwn us harder than Goons (even with their giant nap-list) ever could.

GF.

PS Can't wait for EVE News to write this article!

Oops. Gentleman's Club can now be added to the list of people who made a booboo during DT.

Maybe Goonswarm should try for legal action on them too!
