The drums of wars are beating again and you happen to be in Against All Authorities alliance – the order to withdraw to the Stain region has been issued for some of their corps:

Blob Incoming
From: Perseus Kallistratos
Sent: 2012-09-30 17:40:00
To: The Maverick Navy

Make sure to evac all non-combat essential assets to LGK.

Don’t have 50 ships sitting in 4-07 or GE- or RNF-
Chances are PL and the rest of their blob will be hitting our space sooner than later.
You guys know the drill.

MVN Leadership

What this means

Many of you might recall when WhiteNoise. issued their intention to evict Against All Authorities from the south, this was back when Super Capitals ruled the day, -A- did the same move back then, took refuge in NPC space and waited until the storm was over.

For Pandemic Legion / TEST it could be seen as the “go ahead” to make a full sov invasion of Catch, as the evac could be read as a sign of weakness and neglect to fight.

Time will tell if -A- is simply being paranoid or whether the goonies will actually take over the region.

        Well, CFC has reset Tribals, PL, not to mention being red to Init and Raiden, since you can't expect reset from two friendly alliances (TEST & GSF) and TEST has been (or will be very soon) reset by the majority of CFC, you can continue to delude yourself that we are one big happy family.

      1. precautions

        There have been reports of PL moving supers to Stain, which would point to a possible invasion. Whether this will happen I don't know, but as already mentioned by others, this is standard routine in -A-, whenever there is a possibility of invasion. There have been already 3 or 4 such orders during this year, most have already moved most non-PVP assets out. As a rule I always keep only one carrierload of ships for PVE anyway, together with my reserve carrier, so if anything happens I just sit in the carrier , load it up and jump out. Then I don't have to worry about that and can dedicate to PVP.

      It´s even worse and outdated then that…

      PL come in supers (surpise…not !), reinforced G-Mdon´tremembertherest and took the system. For us, ROL, it seemed that thing would be very bad in no time. Then they reinforced the second system and, when the final timer came out….nothing hapenned !!!! No, really, we had a defense cta, but no fight happened at all. The second system is under atack, but far from being taken, while the first system took just stay n their hand, but taht´s all. We keep ratting, just with more eyes on intel channel, small skirmishs happens every day, but no BIG fights are happening. Testies/PL/Trbal are just that asshole neighbor, that bothers you from time to time, but you manage to live with.

      I honestly can´t understand. PL alone have enough firepower to devastate all ROL and AAA systems easily. But they just stopped. We did not outmanouver then, or did anything that justify that. It just seems that they lost the will of fight, or as they can´t organize, i really don´t know.

      My own corp cancelled the evac non-pvp assets order. Right now, we have pvp assets focused in AZN. Other then that, sure, we´re ready to pack up and jump to stain, just in case. But it´s not like there is panic among the pilots.

      Go figure.

            So Lee Chanka took 51 guys on a roam to k-6. TEST fc convo's him and says, "we want a fight so could you please move your fleet off the optimal of the gate and we'll fight". Lee does of course and TEST brings a 110 man fleet in, now we're ready for a fight. Instead, they dodge around until a 60 man Init. gang came to join the fight. TEST tried playing it off in local saying, "we didn't know they were coming" but whatever at this point. 160+ v 51 isn't a good fight no matter what alliance/corp you claim to be. Did we whelp? no..Did we run? yes..Was it fun for either side? Not really..

  19. I really don't know why people are making such a big deal about this. I think many of us who've been in 0.0 for a long time have been on that end of things at some point. Despite being part of the HBC, I agree with their position. I see this as just being precautionary on -A-'s part and it makes sense.

    If they believe their space is in imminent danger of invasion and they know they can't defend it, is it not prudent to move all non-essential assets to NPC / Empire space? They think they'll be losing their space, so there's no point in keeping anything but the bare essential PvP assets in Catch while moving their money-making ships and other belongings out to keep them safe.

    I may have a lot of serious issues with -A-'s leadership, FCs, their general practices and treatment of their allies and pets, but I think this is a smart move on their part and is in the best interest of the grunts and regular line-members. I won't fault them or laugh at them for it. If I were in -A-'s position, I'd would have already evac'ed my non-essential assets weeks ago.

    "Make sure to evac all non-combat essential assets to LGK."
    - These are ships that you don't use to fight, the ships we use to fight are still on the front lines, and continue to farm test, et all

    "Don't have 50 ships sitting in 4-07 or GE- or RNF-"
    - Due to the farming of Test, et all, many members have over stocked ships, and are lazy (me included) and violate a simple -A- policy, stay light and nimble

    "Chances are PL and the rest of their blob will be hitting our space sooner than later."
    - You heard it first on EvE24/Kugu – people might attack -A-

    "You guys know the drill."
    - yes, we know the drill. If 1000+ ships are on the undock, we don't take the fight – large numbers of stupid people can do amazing things, look at America's politics.. lol

    Say what you will, but -A-'s ability to place the proper emphasis on sov ownership has served it well over the years.

    To -A-, sov is simply a tool to be used when times allow it. Other less flexible alliances have quickly cascaded when sov was lost. Even once mighty alliances, in the pursuit of sov at any cost have sadly ended up as the gutter sluts of Delve, prostrate to test, all for a few constellations.

    without an irrational attachment to sov, -A- has the unique ability to say fuck off to just about anyone in EvE. It's a freedom that simply doesn't exist within groups the CFC (north or south). They are bound to sov and thus bound to the indentured servitude of Mittens.
