The Power of Vengeance

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. - Jules, Pulp Fiction (1994)


After the super alliance formed by the combined forces of Goonswarm, IRON, Razor, RA, Tortuga (debatable), and miscellaneous other alliances who attacked BoB's fortress in Delve and nearly killed them, it wasn't hard to imagine the simmering thoughts of death the bobbits harbored for their northern brethern. In recent months, the GBC has been conducting massive campaigns in Tribute, Vale of The Silent, Deklein, and surrounding areas. The dark horse Triumvirate has been working with BoB, leaving their own trail of destruction by eradicating Hydra. IRON and Pure were the latest casualties in the so-called napfest to fall to GBC advances.

Just yesterday, the GBC scored another impressive feat in the Tribute pipe: the systematic slaughtering of some 50 NC capitals and innumerable support ships. A battle report is given by both SirMolle of BoB and KIAEddz of KIA Alliance from opposing points of view (with propaganda thrown in for good measure). What was supposed to be an ambush on the part of NC backfired badly; they were supposed to gate jump their support and battleships into M-O, cyno the capitals in at the gate (??!) and titan bridge the rest in at the same time. The last time the NC tried to pull this on Insurgency, the same thing happened: the node crashed, NC pilots lacked the discipline to log on at the same time, and the result was a turkey shoot that yielded some 60+ kills for me over a period of 2 hours. This was no different except that the NC had capital ships that crashed at the gate in M-O, with predictably disastrous results as they all logged in one by one. It made me wonder if the NC fleet commanders ever learn from their experience, and if they knew how to play chess.

Battlefield in M-O from a bobbit's point of view. Red ships and yellow wrecks belong to the Coalition.

One by one, the segments of the train has disintegrated. It will only be a matter of time until all the best PVP corps are consolidated into Morsus Mihi as BoB and Tri continue their rampage through the North. Then and only then will we know if MM can survive an onslaught on the scale of the Delve invasion that Bob successfully withstood.

My only qualm is that I couldn't be there to watch the NC die, for Insurgency.

Searching...

I've been searching for a new corp to join since I left Game-Over a few days ago with a bunch of guys that I've been flying with since Insurgency. GAME had been suffering from inactivity ever since we left Requiem; the only guys who made an effort to roam were the guys that I am now with. We formed a 10-man corp named "Forged from Fire"; its ticker F4F was originally meant to be "Friends for Friends". We've been harassing the crap out of Huzzah, Red Skull, and various other small alliances out in Syndicate. F4F also joined the Gallente Militia for a few days, but it ended when I joined the corp with my ultra-low Gallente standings (I am loyal to the Caldari Navy hey, so I like running missions for them...). Also, good fights were few and far between in factional warfare - I simply had no desire to fly into low sec and be blobbed by an army of drakes and nub looters.

And so I am currently trying to figure out where I'd like to be next. I live for 0.0 fleets and frankly, have no desire to play Eve when I am not in a structured alliance. I am fairly picky about choosing the right alliance, so Triumvirate, Pandemic Legion, or the Northern Coalition are unlikely homes. I have a fair bit of reputation as a pvper and have little interest in traditional carebearing activities, so things like Atlas/TCF/IAC are out of the question. I'm also not considering start-up or small alliances. I could join Goonswarm, except that I'd rather keep my um... trade ventures, to myself. While I am very interested in joining BoB,I haven't flown with them enough to make too many acquaintances. So as I chill in empire with my little clique, I'll be performing some of my magic on friends, acquaintances, alliance recruiters and leaders... If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave me a comment.

P.S.: School life has been harsh on my time and my brain, which feels like it's about to pop any moment. So I apologize for my past and possible future tardiness in keeping my blog updated.
