Terrorists! And not good people!

So first thing in the morning...looks like Zenith Labs is getting frisky..

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10444063

Obvious trap was obvious...tackler setup and incoming drake. Funny, the drake doesn't seem to have a warp scrambler or disruptor. Provably so actually.

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10444061


A bit later in local:

Zedrik Cayne > Circuit Sorcerer you may want to ralk to Joe Phoenix
Circuit Sorcerer > how does one "ralk" ?
Zedrik Cayne > We.ve been at war in one form or another for a while now.
Zedrik Cayne > I've got a baby in my lap...I'll tend to make typos :)
Circuit Sorcerer > Zed, your intimidation tactics, your cohersion, your basic harrassment will NOT work with me. You might as well give it up.
Circuit Sorcerer > I nothing left to say to you, except at the end of my smoking gun
Zedrik Cayne > I don't know about that.
Zedrik Cayne > Your corp numbers are dropping a tad.
Circuit Sorcerer > read above ^
Zedrik Cayne > Keep undocking in shuttles....What kind of 'gun' do you fit on there?
Zedrik Cayne > Or even better...run away from an iteron while it actually kills off one of your corpmates.
Circuit Sorcerer > just keep spitting your venom or blakened toungue one... it will be your undoing
Circuit Sorcerer > *IF* you want to talk to me .. pvt me
Zedrik Cayne > This banter isn't for your benefit. Its for your corpmates.
Circuit Sorcerer > ^^^
Zedrik Cayne > You are clearly outmatched here...even by just me. (And I'm not that good)
Zedrik Cayne > Yet you continue to show bravado.
Circuit Sorcerer > local switch set to OFF
Zedrik Cayne > Inappropriately.
Zedrik Cayne > And that is quite possibly the worst idea ever.
Zedrik Cayne > You consider yourself a leader and CEO. Ignoring local is the worst idea ever in times of war.
Zedrik Cayne > I certainly hope your corpmates don't follow your poor advice.
Circuit Sorcerer > zed opinions are like assholes... everyone has one.
Circuit Sorcerer > I respect  your right to have your own opinion, hell I would go to war (irl) to defend that freedom... but I disagree with you.
Zedrik Cayne > Unfortunately, your poor opinion and decisions, are going to get your guys killed repeatedly.
Zedrik Cayne > I look at some of your corpmails about this war...
Zedrik Cayne > Talking about logistics.
Zedrik Cayne > And I realize that you have no idea how this particular facet of eve life works.
Zedrik Cayne > Unless you are on the ass end of nowhere highsec...logistic supply is not a problem.
Zedrik Cayne > Even the station here is relatively well stocked.

In a private convo: (I went afk)

Circuit Sorcerer > What seems to be your fucking problem dude?
Circuit Sorcerer > Why are you such a hateful man?
Circuit Sorcerer > Seriously speaking, why are you so hateful?
Circuit Sorcerer > In all honesty, I have never ever done anything to you.
Circuit Sorcerer > neither good nor bad
Circuit Sorcerer > Also, I know you are recording this for your BLOG... so let the record show that I am a reasonable man... talking in a calm civil tone, asking legit questions.
Circuit Sorcerer > Zed, I am talking to you HERE not in local... not broadcasting our convo for all to see.. Now who is the more civil person?
Circuit Sorcerer > and you refuse to reply
Circuit Sorcerer > I think I will start a blog of my own... and I will put all that venom that your so-called friends have been spewing for all the internet to see.
Circuit Sorcerer > turnabout is fair play
Circuit Sorcerer > Does that sit well with you? Are you comfortable knowing that your "friends" are foul-mouthed venomous vile persons that spew thier venom for hours on end?
Circuit Sorcerer > and you refuse to respond once again
Circuit Sorcerer > Well, Zed ... we have proved who is more of a man, a decent person. .. Actually YOU proved it by your lack of response. You know you are guilty, you know your friends are guilty... you don't have a leg to stand on regarding that issue.
Circuit Sorcerer > So since you refuse to talk to me ... refuse to defend your position.. I brand you GUILTY!
Circuit Sorcerer > Think of what you are teaching that little child sitting in your lap.
Circuit Sorcerer > I bid thee farewell.

When I get back:

Zedrik Cayne > I'm sorry, have too many conversations opened and didn't notice yours. :)
Circuit Sorcerer > What now? I was just setting up my new Blog..
Zedrik Cayne > And I do not suggest posting that blog, you can do it if you like, but you will be ridiculed for it.
Circuit Sorcerer > well, you do it ...
Zedrik Cayne > Yes, but mine highlights idiocy and stubbornness beyond a certain point.
Zedrik Cayne > Yours will appear whiny.
Circuit Sorcerer > again opinions
Zedrik Cayne > Yes, but mine will be closer to the truth of the matter in most cases.
Circuit Sorcerer > I only intend on highlighting the venom that your "friends" keep spewing
Circuit Sorcerer > just the facts my friend... just the facts
Circuit Sorcerer > let's call it an expose'
Circuit Sorcerer > gotta run... stuff to do :)
Zedrik Cayne > Be my guest. They will helpfully provide context.
Zedrik Cayne > I look forward to reading it.
Circuit Sorcerer > and you are most welcome to
Circuit Sorcerer > see ya!

When I come back...there's an extra tidbit in local:

Le Soltueur > well good morning circuit
Circuit Sorcerer > good morning..
Circuit Sorcerer > You mean you are not going to go on for hours on end insulting and berating me and my corp... you are actully civil?
Le Soltueur > I can if you'd like.
Le Soltueur > But this present tone of conversation is how I communicate with most targets. I'm fairly certain taht we've more than made our point, wouldn't you agree?
Le Soltueur > When you're ready to discuss an amicable ending to this adventure, Circuit, feel free to convo me.
Circuit Sorcerer > unofortunately, I do NOT give in to the demands of terrorists. Our corp is dead set against this also. I do agree that you have made your "point". That point is terrorism, and it is against our very fiber.
Circuit Sorcerer > *if* you want to talk to me I suggest you pvt me
Circuit Sorcerer > I will not add to the circus.. in local.




War with BLAST starts in a few hours...So let's see what happens then.

Saturday, May 29, 2010

How...Embarrassing.

Today has not gone well for our friends at Zenith Labs.

Today. The IEEE camped them in using, the Iteron of Doom.

Circuit Sorcerer had undocked earlier in a Nemesis...And not a minute after the iteron undocks...one of his corpmates undocks a rifter, and tackles the itty...The nemesis decloaks at 60km and MWD's into a 42km orbit...

I'm still waiting for my target locks to resolve as a couple volleys of torpedos come in. Caldari Navy Bane Torpedos...huh? Someone can't read. Finally, the rifter locks up and I let him have the full fury of a light neutron blaster.

It takes a while. Their CEO actually warps off during the fight?!?! An armageddon shows up on station. It doesn't fire...just sits and watches. But finally.

After a warp off and back..The geddon comes out to play.

Tachyon Beam Laser I belonging to mkultras barely scratches you, causing 133.6 damage.
650mm Artillery Cannon I belonging to mkultras hits you, doing 399.2 damage.
Warrior I belonging to mkultras lightly hits you, doing 13.1 damage.

Lolwhut? Start a tight orbit around the geddon...And here comes everyone else. The tank on the iteron is good...but enough destroyers, frigates, and a geddon is a bit much for it. So, I dock. They've come out to play? Have a go at a drake.

As I undock, its a ghost town outside station. Oh well. The iteron of doom draws first blood during a war.

Friday, May 28, 2010

Zenith Labs expands...to BLAST

So, during out investigation of Zenith Labs.. We have run into a certain J Black. CEO of Born to Kill Corp, member of Black Star Alliance. Who, over in Solty's blog threatens war.

Now, this is one of the more egregious violations of good operating practices and standards. So, let's just have a conversation with their diplomatic core...

KynthiaMitaxi > o/
Zedrik Cayne > Good evening.
Zedrik Cayne > I hope I've not caught you at an inopportune time?
KynthiaMitaxi > hi
KynthiaMitaxi > its fine
KynthiaMitaxi > how can i help you ?
Zedrik Cayne > One of your member CEO's has been volunteering your alliance as a wardec stick.
KynthiaMitaxi > ?
Zedrik Cayne > A certain J Black ceo of Born To Kill Corp
KynthiaMitaxi > a wardec stick?
KynthiaMitaxi > forgive me but what the hell is a wardec stick?
Zedrik Cayne > He's threatened to wardec Orignal Sin in response to a wardec against Zenith Labs
KynthiaMitaxi > o.0
Zedrik Cayne > Seeing as he is in BLAST, I was assuming he meant to bring the might of the alliance down.
KynthiaMitaxi > he is a member
KynthiaMitaxi > thats it
KynthiaMitaxi > and is it a high sec war dec?
Zedrik Cayne > So you allow your members to throw the weight of the alliance around that cavalierly?
KynthiaMitaxi > no i dont
KynthiaMitaxi > im asking if its in high sec or low sec dec
Zedrik Cayne > It would be a highsec dec.
KynthiaMitaxi > then unless you dec a blast corp i dont give a heck
Zedrik Cayne > Kor-Azor region mostly it looks like.
KynthiaMitaxi > if it was blast corp then  yes our alliance would be that big stick
KynthiaMitaxi > but we wouldnt convo and threaten we would just be there :)
Zedrik Cayne > I realize that....did a touch of reseaech.before opening this conversation.
KynthiaMitaxi > np
Zedrik Cayne > We here at the IEEE are mostly concerned with the proper operation of alliances and corporations.
Zedrik Cayne > And consider frivolous use of wardec threat to be contrary to good operating standards.
KynthiaMitaxi > are you ccp alts?
KynthiaMitaxi > because im totally confused, on why you are involved , with the exception of checking out his threats
Zedrik Cayne > Not at all. We do however have the heavy burden of investigating corporate and alliance behavior when it is egregiously in violation of good operating standards.
Zedrik Cayne > This ts the opening phase of a possible investigation.
KynthiaMitaxi > excuse me ?
KynthiaMitaxi > as i said we do not threaten as a wardec stick/ that player did that on his own with out alliance knoiwledge or backing
Blurtmaster > o7
Zedrik Cayne > I have to afk a short while to feed the family. But would like to know if the pilot in question will be sancioned or at least informed about his bad practices through diplomatic channels?
KynthiaMitaxi > so ive no idea what you are threatening as a possible investigation , he did nothj9ing agains eula
Blurtmaster > zedrik please explain your issue, i am a senior FC of blast and would like to know the charges brought to my alliance
Zedrik Cayne > I apologise...must afk for a short while.
Blurtmaster > ok no problem. enjoy dinner

In the ten minutes it takes for me to serve dinner up in a bottle...I get disconnected... Now. who is this Blurtmaster guy?

KynthiaMitaxi > o/
Zedrik Cayne > Sorry about that.
KynthiaMitaxi > its fine
Blurtmaster > hello again
Zedrik Cayne > Been more unstable than usual post patch.
KynthiaMitaxi > true it has
Zedrik Cayne > I'll start over for Blurt's benefit then.
Blurtmaster > so to business - what charges have been brought against my alliance and players, by whom and for what
Zedrik Cayne > Against J Black
Blurtmaster > by?
Zedrik Cayne > The IEEE. For poor operating standards of an alliance
Blurtmaster > who are the IEEE
Zedrik Cayne > By threatening to use hisalliance in an intimidating force that he apparently has no place in even assuming.
Blurtmaster > thats still not telling me who the IEEE are - nor whome he used this "threat" against
Zedrik Cayne > We are the keepers of good operating standards and practices of corporations and alliances in new eden.
Blurtmaster > CCP endorsed or alts or what? members of ISD?
Zedrik Cayne > No sir, we cannot claim that.
Blurtmaster > so you are essentially - a small corp?
Zedrik Cayne > Yes.
Blurtmaster > ok....and you are telling me you have an issue with a player of mine threatening someone - who u havent told me - with a war dec
Zedrik Cayne > We have often gotten concord sanction to investigate corporate and alliance entities for poor operating standards.
Zedrik Cayne > Of, I'm sorrh. had not gotten to that.
Zedrik Cayne > Sorry.
Blurtmaster > concord as in - the npc police with no power in 0.0 and only can do anything when u break some rules in highsec?
Zedrik Cayne > Allow  me to link a conversation?
Blurtmaster > feel free
Zedrik Cayne > http://podlogs.com/sins/2010/05/24/zlabs/#more-5
Zedrik Cayne > If you search forward for j black you will find the conversation in question.
Blurtmaster > ok so
Blurtmaster > lemme get this straight
Blurtmaster > we threatens to war dec some dude who has war decced some other dude - and you are complaining that he has threatened to war dec this dude
Blurtmaster > so what exactly are you here to do/say?
Zedrik Cayne > I am not complaining. I am wondering if you consider this good operating practice in your alliance.
Zedrik Cayne > And if not will there be sanction vs the pilot, or at the very least a conversation to happen to more or less say 'Don't do that again, its not your place'?
Blurtmaster > its fine - we havent actually war decced them....he's just a little pilot beating his chest...
Zedrik Cayne > Actually, that is the point. We would not be having this conversation if the war declaration had happened.
Blurtmaster > ok so what you are telling me how to discipline my pilots?
Zedrik Cayne > No, you may do as you please with your pilots.
Blurtmaster > there is no wardec - there is nothing to even talk about
Blurtmaster > did these dudes pay you for this service?
Zedrik Cayne > Unfortunately not. We run on a rather shoestring budget for our investigations.
Blurtmaster > ok - so they have complained to you?
KynthiaMitaxi > Unreasonable rates for corporate investigation and consulting services. Contact any IEEE member for details.?
Zedrik Cayne > I am friendly with  Le Soltueur the ceo of Original Sin...part of the conversation.
Blurtmaster > ok - but have they complained to you about this?
Zedrik Cayne > They have pointed me in this direction. The investigations happen as situations develop and poor practices are revealed.
Blurtmaster > ok and you are looking for assurances or something? or do you as a corp plan on taking action or what?
Blurtmaster > see here is where i am confused
Zedrik Cayne > We may take action depending on interviews. You gentlemen seem reasonable and at the very least organized.
Blurtmaster > i have absolutely no idea what you do, under whose authority you do it, nor what you CAN actually do about it.....as well as this i dont understand how you think it is your place to interefere....nor do i understand what or how you plan on investigating
Blurtmaster > aswell as what 'action" you are going to take?
KynthiaMitaxi > main things here  1) we dont threaten  2) if we war dec you , you will see the notice and us in local 3) unless you are ccp and eula was violated which if you were ccp you would have to tell us, so you are not
Zedrik Cayne > If an investigation is deemed to be warranted official notification from CONCORD will be forthcoming. A series of investigations will occur.
Blurtmaster > this still isnt telling us what will happen - concord cant do anything because they are a fictional highsec npc police
KynthiaMitaxi > 4) how we deal with our pilots internaly is none of your business tbh
Zedrik Cayne > Records will be made public, bad practices shown for the amusement of the masses. Its typically a rediculous affair.
Blurtmaster > ah ok i've heard enough
Blurtmaster > to me it seems like this
Blurtmaster > IEEE is merely a small corp
Blurtmaster > desparately trying to inflate its ego and or importance, by pretending to investigate so called incidences
Blurtmaster > which are actually totally unimportant and irrelevant
Blurtmaster > you try and wield power against alliances and corps far higher than you hoping that ignorance will actually make u seem important
Blurtmaster > i have a few words for you - do not bother any BLAST corp or member again, you hold no authority or respect
Blurtmaster > thank you for your time
Zedrik Cayne > Ignorance typically makes for a very good investigation.
Blurtmaster > no ignorance typically makes a small person seem much larger
Blurtmaster > where infact, they are bery small
Zedrik Cayne > Thank you for your time.
Blurtmaster > thank you :-) and take care
KynthiaMitaxi > where was i
Blurtmaster > lemme repeat what i said kynthia
Blurtmaster > see if you have anything to add
KynthiaMitaxi > k
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > ah ok i've heard enough
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > to me it seems like this
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > IEEE is merely a small corp
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > desparately trying to inflate its ego and or importance, by pretending to investigate so called incidences
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > which are actually totally unimportant and irrelevant
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > you try and wield power against alliances and corps far higher than you hoping that ignorance will actually make u seem important
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > i have a few words for you - do not bother any BLAST corp or member again, you hold no authority or respect
Blurtmaster > thats all from me
Zedrik Cayne > Zedrik Cayne > Ignorance typically makes for a very good investigation.
Zedrik Cayne > I put that bit in there
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > no ignorance typically makes a small person seem much larger
Blurtmaster > Blurtmaster > where infact, they are bery small
Zedrik Cayne > afk to change a diaper...
KynthiaMitaxi > well Blurt summed it up well, I was nice to answer you questions, then you start throwing our investigations ect  in the convo. we have said what we will and no more  BlAST is not your concern so move along
KynthiaMitaxi > blurt we are thru here
Blurtmaster > agreed
KynthiaMitaxi > 07
Blurtmaster > o7 Zedrik

Obviously...they do not know the IEEE very well. We may have to drop a current investigation to pick up on whoever this Blurtmaster is assosciated with...Hope Joe doesn't mind a vacation.

The next IEEE Adventures. Zenith Labs

So, the IEEE has been looking for a new investigation for a while now. Soliciting suggestions from friends, and we think that we have now found a winner.

We would like to introduce you to..Zenith Laboratories. We are also happy to reintroduce you to Le Soltuer. Former head of the Underworld Excavators who has shut it down and started Orignal Sin.

Out of the blue a few days ago, Original Sin. declared war against a random target. Zenith Laboratories. This began a flurry of eve-mails from various interested parties.

From the CEO of Zentih Laboratories:

Subject: Bring it on
From: Circuit Sorcerer
Sent: 2010.05.18 06:21
To: ZLABS Directors, Le Soltueur,

Obvoiusly you do not realise who you warededced my friend.

We will fight you and will destroy you every time you want to engage... We are veterans of Providence wars, and love 0.0 battles ... but since you have brought it to us in a high-sec place it makes it so much easier... as we have ll our ships and modules and ammo centralised ... You have totally screwed your self...

Let the fighting BEGIN! I will take pleasure in destroying your best ships and your best pilots...

Thanks! We needed a littele distraction from our current waiting period between 0.0 space...

I hope your little PvP pilots will prove wothry adversariees... not a bunch of pussies... .. oh dont't tell me you are a bunch of uk pussies ... that log off or cloak in the middle of battle..

ha ha ha

GANK ya Later!

-Circuit

And another:

Subject: wardec
From: Circuit Sorcerer
Sent: 2010.05.18 07:37
To: ZLABS Directors, Le Soltueur,

I have thought this over....


we will offer nothing but obliteration to you... reconcisder your actions...


This is your last chance to back off...

We want this war... we want the opportunity to destroy the likes of you. You are little men. You do not have the opportunity to walk with the walks of like us.

This is your final warning... Take it to heed... or risk the outcome. WE WILL NOT back DOWN.... We will hunt you down like animals.

Fly Dangerously!

Circuit

Quite the attitude from a veteran of the Providence wars...on the CVA side...

Right.

A few days later, after the opening of the war, in Solty's public channel:

Le Soltueur > o/ Circuit
Circuit Sorcerer > 0/ and you pulled mein here why?
Le Soltueur > Just wanted to let you know that we've up and moved to Amarr to be a little closer to you
Devilous > o7
Devilous > Amarr?
Le Soltueur > just for this war, Dev.
Circuit Sorcerer > well it would be difficult to wage from DoDixie, no?
Le Soltueur > Figured if you were gonna hunt us like dogs, Circuit, we'd make it easier for you to find us.
Circuit Sorcerer > rgr
McNutter > not if u keep sending vexors at me :Blush:
Le Soltueur > That -is- what you said, didn't you?
Le Soltueur > wait... let me look at the mail..
Circuit Sorcerer > In a rash moment, yes I did
Le Soltueur > "Let the fighting BEGIN! I will take pleasure in destroying your best ships and your best pilots... "
Le Soltueur > "I hope your little PvP pilots will prove wothry adversariees... not a bunch of pussies... .. oh dont't tell me you are a bunch of uk pussies ... that log off or cloak in the middle of battle.. "
Le Soltueur > so...
Le Soltueur > where and when?
Circuit Sorcerer > will get back to you on that, but not now.
Le Soltueur > I see...
Le Soltueur > so your standing orders are "dock the hell up" then?
Devilous > lol
Devilous > sound plan
Circuit Sorcerer > I must admit that the rash words were ... ummm unprofessional
McNutter > we dont have to take a damn number do we ?
Le Soltueur > people say things in the heat of the moment.
McNutter > i hate those ques
Circuit Sorcerer > for that and only that I wish that I had not uttered them
Circuit Sorcerer > but alas, the deed is done, and what is done cannot be undone.
Le Soltueur > I understand, of course. Spending a year in the merc business going after 3600 man alliances and such...
Le Soltueur > people say things that they don't mean all the time.
Zavulon Sukkot > Circuit, is your regret sincere?
Circuit Sorcerer > for my words yes
Zavulon Sukkot > Perhaps an offering of isk could indicate your sincerity in this matter.
Circuit Sorcerer > not gonna happen
Le Soltueur > He's not ready for that Zav.
Le Soltueur > Not yet.
Zavulon Sukkot > Ah. Forgive my suggestion then.
Le Soltueur > Maybe in a few weeks he'll want to sit down and chat, civilly.
Le Soltueur > But for now, those words REALLY fired up my team of rapists and savages...
Le Soltueur > and they raging hard ons.
Le Soltueur > they have*
Circuit Sorcerer > I am intriqued at the tactic of inviting me into your pub channel but not suprised.
Le Soltueur > tactic?
Le Soltueur > lol
Le Soltueur > mate, it's no tactic.
Le Soltueur > It's a public chanel.
Circuit Sorcerer > i c
Le Soltueur > that's what it's there for.
Michella > I was told there would be cupcakes.
Devilous > believe me Solty is like adog with a bone, just keep looking in your rear mirror mate.............
Circuit Sorcerer > Well with that said I will go back to role of observer. I trust this sits well with you?
Le Soltueur > The last time some asshat popped their mouth off before engaging their brain cost their alliance 100 members, 4 billion isk in damage, and the inability to move anywhere without wondering when the gank would happen
Le Soltueur > you're more than welcome to idle here.
Le Soltueur > Just try to be more ... thoughtful, before running off at the mouth, hmm?
Le Soltueur > btw - loved the convo from the friend of yours in BLAST that's been with them for what.. 12 whole days?
Le Soltueur > (this time around)
Michella > That broke my heart. Here I was hoping it was a real BLAST diplo, and we were going to go make secksy time with them :(
Le Soltueur > I know Mich.
Le Soltueur > Ah well.
Le Soltueur > Words.
McNutter pats mich's back there there lil one
Le Soltueur > For now, we'll just have to wait on baited breath and filled boots
Le Soltueur > "This is your final warning... Take it to heed... or risk the outcome. WE WILL NOT back DOWN.... We will hunt you down like animals."
Le Soltueur > Please don't turn out to be a liar, Circuit.
Le Soltueur > Lord knows there's enough of them in EVE.
McNutter > LOL we've been scammed of a war... hate that shit
Michella > plus then we have to call the IEEE and report it, and noone wants to become the next Joe Show.
Le Soltueur > oh gawd...
Zavulon Sukkot > maybe he's joe's alt.
Le Soltueur > you wouldn't sic Zed on them..
Le Soltueur > that's just ... cruel.
Michella > I would Sir, I would

So I get these eve-mails forwarded and the preceeding conversation forwarded to me.

Analysing the killmails, the conversations, the IEEE has determined the Zenith Laboratories very poorly run, a lack of standards amongst its pilots and leadership. Poorly run training programs, and a high tax rate for the level of service the leadership appears to hand out to its members.

So, I begin the investigation with the traditional conversation with the CEO.

Zedrik Cayne > Good evening.
Circuit Sorcerer > so funny.. .I am actually a I.E.E.E. member...
Circuit Sorcerer > so what's up Zed?
Circuit Sorcerer > I.E.E.E. (irl)
Zedrik Cayne > We here at standards and Practices have become aware of some strong deficiencies in your corporations operating standards as of late.
Circuit Sorcerer > let's cut the pleasantries... what do you want?
Zedrik Cayne > Correction of your corporation's operating standards to bring them into alignment.
Circuit Sorcerer > Brother I am not into role playing ... just be blunt
Zedrik Cayne > I think you misunderstand. We have noticed several kills showing up on public killboards in reference to your current war.
Zedrik Cayne > Obvious mission fits during wartime.
Zedrik Cayne > And the likes.
Circuit Sorcerer > and?
Circuit Sorcerer > your point is?
Zedrik Cayne > We would like to see this behavior corrected, and are willing to start a full investigation into your corporate practices to ferret out any other poor practices and failure of adherances to good standards.
Circuit Sorcerer > well, I have no time for the likes of this. goodby.

A very busy and rude gentleman. So, I time my war declaration to take full advantage of my wardec with the imperial commonwealth. In doing so, I act like a bit of support for le Soltuer's cohorts. Trusty Helios. They've collected in a safe spot in Kor-Azor Prime.  Pick one, and warp at 20km.

Well, they're a tad spread out. And I get decloaked on one of them. Holler in fleet to get everybody in and...they light me up. Not just targetting...guns were appaently hot and the pilots intent on ignoring the concord warning. Three explode in very short order. The rest of them still yellowboxing me. (Apparently smart enough to heed the big warning.) And the original sin guys show and mop up everybody too slow to warp out.

The next day, my first loss of the war. Passing out at the wheel. My poor vexor dies to a small fleet.

Reconnecting, and looking around in Nahyeen. I find an abundance of wartargets. Some of them even undocked. Peering around..a griffin. A plethora of others. Let's see what they think of it when there's someone at the helm.

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10384509
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10384508
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10384508
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10384507

And that was before Original Sin got in on the act. They were a bit busy earlier in the day with Zenith Lab's POS.

During the ensuing fight....their CEO seems to rage quit...while in space... With aggro...

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=10384688

Soon afterwards, during a nice sleep time, I get a nice private conversation:

Circuit Sorcerer > Greets
Circuit Sorcerer > I am here to negotiate the terms of your surrender.
Circuit Sorcerer > Our Terms are a total cease of hostilities towards my corp, and an ISK payment of 1.5billion isk.
Circuit Sorcerer > I will take your silence as a rejection of my offer. I do warn you it will grow in value, week by week. I urge you to end this madness that is being brought onto you and your corp as quickely as possible.
Circuit Sorcerer > goodbye

I'm not certain that the man gets it. And today:

Zedrik Cayne > I would like to formally 'reject' your 'offer' as such.
Zedrik Cayne > I don't think you quite get this part of our interactions...
Circuit Sorcerer > very good then
Circuit Sorcerer > I accept your rejection
Zedrik Cayne > And I certainly hope you did not make the same offer to Le Soltuer'
Circuit Sorcerer > not yet.. he is not quiet ready for it yet
Circuit Sorcerer > quite,
Circuit Sorcerer > When you are ready to negotiate our terms I will be inclined to listen to you.
Circuit Sorcerer > until then we have nothing to say to one another. Good Day.

Now I am certain he does not get it. Welcome to the next installment of the IEEE Adventures.

Fresh Joe Show (tm) Another Jita Local version!

Fresh Joe Show...Yes indeed. So after laying the war off for weeks...WEEKS I say. In order for other folks to try their hands at corp thievery. (I'll let them tell the tales of having to listen to Joe...) Its time to get back to open warfare. But LO! What do we have here, Joe's down to a pittance of folks in corporation. No alliance mates...

And he decides to chat in Jita Local (tm) with one of my new guys.

(Chatlog heavily edited for comedy value and length)

TL;DR: Joe knows scams! Joe's Alliance is *not* a wardec shield..nope. The reason he's alone in his alliance is because he's doing a 'purge cycle' happens all the time. Zed's wife is a hippo.. Joe admits to lying, but only in the past tense. Zed needs to be castrated at birth along with anyone who interacts with him.
