Hopefully, we've anchored the replacement structure (not a keepstar, but NOL's conquerable outpost, now a faction fortizar) such that bounces won't happen. I can't tell you personally if that is the case or not, though.

Unfortunately, the Sotiyo in T5ZI never generated a killmail, so we'll never know.

After Delve 1 there was a dispute on access to complexes between us and Russians. Nync, who helped us through the siege of 9-98/JV1V/XGH/G-DON, turned on us and formed RED.Overlord with sympathetic Red Alliance corps. They were joined by Stain Empire (neutralish Russians until that point, lived in NPC Stain), and -A- (second best Russians up to then). Directorate had a story about how they turned on us because an extremely rich Russian aluminum tycoon wanted to play eve and spent a lot of IRL money on it paying off Nync, etc. Anyway we were actually losing that war until Haargoth Haargoth'd BoB and we said "ok bye enjoy Feyth"

Wow, blackflag has really fragile egos

Well, I did it. I got my 10 man pubbie corp wardeced by blackflag. I wardecced a holding corp to shoot a bunch of highsec pocos and blackflag showed up with like 10 leshacks, 8 guardians, and like 20 other battleships. Whatever, I sent a surrender and they accepted. Naturally, we couldn't resist shittalking them in local while they repped the pocos back up. They really did not like it. One of them said something like "I hate watching a fellow SA member act like this" which was pretty funny. Our CEO then mentioned that he used to be in SC. As if on cue, like 20 SC jump into the system and go red like 10 seconds later. We look at zkill and see that they suicide ganked the sleipnir that the CEO of the holding corp was in (I assume it was probed in a safe?). Now we are for real in a war with blackflag and its very funny.

Yeah that war was a slog at the time , possibly the worst I'd seen of the pos warfare trenches

I also remember Bob at the time was starting to form up to the north so we were starting to fight a two front war , but then we 0wned their dread fleet hard when we baited them once with them in a short range setup and we bubbled and hit them hard at sniping range with effectively a zero losses fight shortly before Haargoth Haargoth'ed.

I always wonder how much the 0-W slaughter helped play into bob's complete failure cascade when Haargoth hit as they were already pretty butt hurt over that loss being the ~elite pvpers~ they were, and dread fleets were still a pretty big deal at the time. I remember them pretty much entirely pulling out of 66- after that one fight. Delve was pretty drat defensible even without the level 5 sov

I am no one. Just an ordinary line member who is an industrialist. I have an out 200+ Alts in eve just for venture mining and manufacturing. Another 25 alts for discord and many more for market orders.

When the war began, I bought into the whole grandiose delusion that Goons are bad and must be exterminated. I devoted a substantial amount of money and resources just to ensure supplies were running good. I helped newbros. I gave some T1 Faction frigates because I was way very rich back then. I rarely did PvP because of my busy life but I believed in my own coalition leadership and I believed they were competent and experienced enough to lead the war. I only did PvP on discord, reddit and in game emails. I tried to contribute in whatever way I could. I never hated Goons, I only saw them as opponents in game.

However we failed to see that Vily & Friends were effectively wiping out very single small group in eve in their quest to make eve good. This became more evident as Fraternity was focused on The Freemen of the North. Wherever any small group from high sec tried to enter null sec, all that was waiting for them was the inevident recursion of renter space and paying rent.

For 1.5 years, I was loving lied to. And drank the Kool Aid. I even went to far ahead to use immediately use my stockpiles for war efforts. I even gave ships for free.

I exhausted myself and my everything for that loving Vily, ProGod and others who didn't even told us to evacuate. I lost my everything because of them. How many newbros I helped, they too all left the game. The small corporations I tried to support in the coalition are just AFK.

These pieces of radioactive shits evacuated their everything and told us that we were about to win.

I hope, pray and wish that TEST burns. Horde Collapses. I pray that these pieces of poo poo are remembered as the most pathetic losers in all of eve and gently caress Manfred loving Sidious. gently caress Gobbins and Lady Scarlet. Triple gently caress that loving Progod. I hope you all burn in the depths of hell. gently caress you. You ruined this game for me.

Haargoth Agmar was a BoB director that was disillusioned by BoB. Originally he joined us as part of a recruitment scam, but people ended up liking up. When we found out he was a bob director we almost banned him, but he defected to us. Then he disbanded their entire alliance, removing claim over the entirety of their space. You'd think it' a bad mechanic that a single person could destroy a multi thousand person organization, but here we are. Anyway BoB reclaimed their space under a new name within a day, but it reset the 30 day timer before you got to have a bunch of toys that made it impossible to attack you (like jammers that keep capitals out)

Their first 4 titans were Shrike, Chowdown, Orange Species, and Hegemon Rast. After losing 2 in rapid succession to PL/NCnodotte, he took Hegemon Rast's. After he lost that he eventually got Chowdown's, which died at B-R. Last I checked he's lost 5.
