Well I just lost Regenald which has pissed me off a treat so from this point on I have no interest in fighting at all. Especially not if all they are doing is sitting with those bloody cruise frigates.
Not fun at all. Maybe if I had the money to replace them with ease then I'd enjoy it more, but I get a lot of emotional attachment to my ships so until I can solve that problem I'm avoiding pvp.

G'Day from Down Under. I am "the enemy", a situation beyond my control (I've been out of town all week, unable to play). First, and foremost, I'd like to apologise to you all in regards to your losses. I find this type of war dispicable, and will not be taking any action against you. I have spoken today with Atedar (our CEO) and he has agreed to retract as of this afternoon (my time), so you should all be getting the confirmation Concorde letter if you have not already done so. Please understand that while we do enjoy honing and practicing PVP, how this war was allowed to take place is entirely beyond me. I am merely a member, not of the hierarchy, but since RoninStorm is refusing to enter a private chat with me, I felt it necessary to visit here and get this off my mind.
As an aside, and for your information, Trinity Supernova is my other account. While both are in battleships (Tempest/Raven), I assure you again that unless attacked, I am completely harmless.
Once again, I apologise sincerely for any loss of life or ship which has occurred. Please consider me a friend. Fly safe!

Sorry about that. I only just noticed when I happened to spot Atedar's chat box pop-up. I'm only idling in game listening for "skill training complete" while I work so I'm usually not watching the window.
Thank you for visiting, though, and sharing your thoughts. I certainly appreciate them. Also, feel free to stick around on the forums if you so desire. THN is an open community and we play all sorts of things, not just EVE.

Hi C4LYP50, thanks for posting. From my understanding your CEO thought we were a little more experienced than we actually are (surely the downside to re-activating trial accounts years later!), so perhaps wasn't deliberately looking for a corporation of new players (although that depends on how evil he actually is 
).
Anyway, one of your members, Kilette Dark has kindly donated 2,000,000 isk to each of us who incurred losses and so alleviated some of the financial pain. Still, it was an experience; I'd certainly never faced a stealth bomber before and am now more aware of their power and the tactics involved in using them. Perhaps the situation has even stimulated an interest in getting one for myself in the months to come!
But, it'll be nice to be able to just potter about in space again.
Though it does strike me as quite a harsh Eve mechanic that in secure space I can be put at as much risk as 0.0 just for being affiliated with a corporation! Especially since the victim corporation has no say in the matter to begin with. Damn Eve and her harsh environment!

Hello everyone
There's 2 reasons I stopped the war. I realized that you are all noobs. (The good kind of noobs) and you seem to be a cool bunch of guys.
I hope that you didnt loose too much money. If you are interested I would like to do some stuff with you guys in the future. Maybe some lvl4 missions and friendly pvp training... the kind of training where you dont loose your ships
The reason I thought you guys would like a little fun war, was because we noticed you got some pretty old members... wich werent that old after all.
Im sorry guys
Wont happen again

Thanks for dropping by and clearing that up. We would like to have some shooting wars at some point, we're just not ready for it yet. As you can tell.
Keep in touch and feel free to drop by whenever, or even hang out here, as you wish.

Hi,
Well first thanks for ruining my rep with the CEO by letting him know I was Paying you for ship kills.
Hes convinced that I must have been doing that for all my WAR kills
As some of you may have gathered although we WERE using this war as practice, it was specificly Stealth Bomber practice. (Having said that tho, I will also add that we only have two good PVP players, and the rest of the corp do need general practice)
They was some seriours worry that we would loose this war, (ie we did setup our fallback sites) becuse of the seemingly older players and the fact you DO have the whole clan to call apon for free trails. (That might sound far fetched, but we got two ppl for 14 days from a clan in BF 2142 that the CEO was in, for a war agaisnt us). The NO Podding rule was infact for OUR benifit, incase we started to get kicked across the systems
Advice:
You did very well to manage to field as bob put it a "blob" that had 2/1 numbers , unfortunatly your lack of practice (or even concideration when it comes to SBs), means that you where at a loss to do anything. So.......
SB) A Stealth bomber is paper thin, they put a lot of alpha strike out but really not that much Damage per second, a resonable Crusier should be able to cope with 6-7 vollies min, so close them down. If you have Afterbruners or micro warps use them. Once you are in locking range, and get a lock, the SB cannot then re cloak, and is toast.
For the frigates and destroyers, look what is behind the SB, the SB pilot has warped to where they are from somewhere, so warp to a point that makes a line from the SB warpto target (last night it was your HQ), and the SB. Warp to this distant point, then warp back to 100km from the target (ie your HQ). This will put you, if not on top of the target, at least a lot closer.
The drake) First two crusiers CAN kill a drake, but it need two good crusier pilots who work well as a team.
With your level of PVP you really should only think of shooting at a drake when you can hit from +55 km. The drake has one of the BEST tanks in the game it has like +5 Magic resist Shield just as one of its basic skills but its the slowest of the BCs. So.... dont fight them unless you really really have to. It was physicly impossible for me to catch any of you last night with the drake, yet one by one you let me do just that. IF all your fire cannot be brought to bear on the one target at the same time, leave/get distance, till a time that it can
Anyway. Good luck with your Corp.
DONT STEAL SALVAGE. (Thats not why we picked you, but from your boards I get the implication that some of you members are doing this, and I would advice you that with the corps current level of PVP you are just asking to be killed)
DONT FLIP MINING CANS. ( I dont think you are doing this, but dont unless you again dont mind a war)
If you avoid these two and dont smack-talk local, the you will probably be adle to avoid a war until some "protection" corp stumbles on you.
IF you are war deced by a fullon PVP corp, remeber that yesturdays Enemies can be tommorows friends, and Call us. The worst that can happen if that we comfirm that you are in trouble

Hey Kerane, Kilette, Calypso,
Thanks for dropping by the forums. As others have said before this is a gaming community site and we play more then just Eve together. So if you're ever up for some AlienSwarm, Battlefield, TF2, etc... just drop in and say hello. There's always something on the go.
As for the PVP stuff it's a shame you picked us up so early on. If it was a month or 2 later we would not be in this situation and I'd have probably lost my BC by now.
As for tactics et al, thanks for the advice Kilette I'm sure it will be listened to.
You are right that we are a BLOODY CLAN and we can be organised when required but our lack of experience is going to hold us back for a while. This is where we need help and is why I "personally" was really up for fighting.
We will need to train in the near future and some people are already starting to get itchy trigger fingers for pvp and so I'm sure we'll be pestering you for friendly fights (initially) maybe ramp it up to tournaments or arranged engagements and see where it goes from there...(I'm just gonna throw that out there and see if anyone picks it up)?
All in all a bit of excitement and a load of new friends/enemies/allies...the lines get blurred amongst the Nos/scramblers and missile explosions.
It would be good to see you guys on and around these boards from now on (I believe you don't have a site specifically so why not come chat here) and maybe we can organise some future events etc...
Cheers,
pHatBambi (Kaneda Suul).

The war will still be on 'till some time tomorrow morning.
We wont be attacking you guys anymore, do dont worry about the wt's in local. And I really hope that you will cease fire as well
Im gonna change our corp standing to you guys to +9. And maybe raise it to +10 soon wich gives you acess to some nice stuff. But only if you also set our corp to +10
In case you dont know how, its in the Corporation>Politics menu
