Today the Northern Hostilities got put on brief hold as joint null cartel HAC fleets were called up to defend their highsec Tranquility Trading racket from a small group of sweaty multiboxers/input broadcasters, who after establishing their own monopoly on most of Pochven's krabbing sites, decided to try for additional business ventures in highsec. Apparently these guys were too slimy for the usual guns hired to keep runaway botters like them in check, so a full-on assault of their wardec'd HQ fort commenced this morning with Imperium, Phorde, and Frat all gating a fleet each into Amarr highsec to collectively rub their ship tips on the offending structure until it crumpled https://zkillboard.com/kill/107963335/

However, prolonged exposure to Empire or as one fleet member put it "Space Catholics" is known to drive space bees mad, and it was too much for this one fleet commander who had to be euthanized by highsec cop https://zkillboard.com/kill/107963623/

There are lots of great examples of his diplo and leadership skills my personal favorites being:

Sharing a screenshot of 95b in plex he purchased as a threat to CVA that he could find more faction dreads to lose.

Sending abusing Eve mails to Geese line members demanding payment for faction dreads said members were on the KM of.

When it was pointed out one of his members had 1488 units of isotopes that was of the wrong type in the fuel bay of one of the lost faction dreads and how that is a white supremacist symbol claiming that it was just our opinion and an honest mistake/the isotopes were in the fuel bay when it was bought of contracts.

Nearly daily I have people he has reached out to in Provi and try and get them to bandwagon against us come to the diplo channels and ask if we want their help getting rid of him.

Then LS FW bottom feeders who got a hard on for killing CVA in Provi who then lost a bunch of faction dreads and got mad at everyone who shot them including some of the Amarr FW people.

Now are NS bottom feeders taking systems that are more or less abandoned and dick waving about taking space from Geese and getting dropped on by Bigab routinely.

They are buying out the 10% interest a year bonds and creating new 5% interest bonds.

The most profitable thing to do is to hold on to your 10% bonds for as long as you can until you're bought out. Unless you really need liquid isk now.

While u were away all ur warbonds have been carefully seeded across the various ESS reserve banks in Delve for enhanced safekeeping as well as to stimulate the local economy. But following last week's string of grand heists with hostiles syphoning off over a trillion isk from these reserve banks, it was agreed upon to that the vacationers who wouldn't login to defend them should bear the entire cost of this mishap, so now ur stuck flying T1 cruisers sry bro.

It looks like that depends on if you had the sigma or gamma series. The gamma series at least is closing.

quote:

The corporation used by Goonswarm Federation to distribute Gamma-era warbond payments is closing operations.

This means the corporation is no longer issuing dividend payments to shareholders. No payment will be made to Gamma shareholders on April 1.

To reclaim your shareholder principle, open the Jabber room shares@conference.goonfleet.com and speak with a finance director. They will walk you through the process of a final buyout.

Lol. We get a lot of corp apps that are along the lines of "I told linknet/silent company/etc I wanted to do FW and they said talk to you"

They used to live next door in high sec and we were only allowed to shoot them on Fridays (they were blue but would do a thrasher roam for new bros)

Then they moved away, all their high sec structures went abandoned and there was a massive loot fest. I remember trying to find ships and warp them off to a safe so we could get back to grid quickly and get more stuff

It was all very strange but fun

10 percent a year? Based on the profit margins from manufacturing I would have thought interest rates in Eve were several percent per day.

During the last great war, the Alliance funded the war effort by creating bonds that paid out 10% per year (on a monthly basis) with the value guaranteed by the Alliance itself. So they were considered pretty secure compared to regular Eve loans that usually charge 10% per month.


But that war was.... 3 years ago? It must be pretty frustrating to still not have paid off the war cost yet. Especially if a similar future war ever happens.


The current 5% bonds were estimated to run until 2025 I believe. Which could mean that it took 5 years to pay off the war debt.

Bonds require no :effort:, manufacturing does.

As far as I've talked to the finance team, they're working pretty hard on getting rid of that debt.
