Remember when some pubbie sent Mittens an EVEmail about an unknown proposal. The one Mittens forwarded to the entire alliance to laugh at, which lead to many of you trying making fun of this well meaning sender?

To: The MittaniI would like to ask you a question on the topic of Goons owning eve.
I have a proposition for you if your interested.
Please convo me or send me a mail.
Thank you for your time.
Well it turns out this fine lad wanted the CFC’s support for fighting PL. They were sad that PL raised their rent three times and after a disagreement Grath pleasantly told them to get the fuck out. After about 10 minutes of taking them seriously the red carpet was rolled out for me, an undercover middle man working on behalf of a shadow cartel of interested persons ready to take a stab at PL. While many thought this was a bad joke, some believed an opportunity existed. So I Scooter McCabe, 3rd year medical student from Johns Hopkins, was asked nicely to check up on them. I explained in order to verify their claims there would be several stipulations. First I had to audit them and be given roles in the executor corp. Second I would need them to gather their carriers in one station as a certain jumping off point. But what came next shocked me. They were prepared to surrender all SOV to the CFC as a sign of goodwill and contribution to the war effort.

[ 2014.02.06 15:53:06 ] Scooter McCabe > i will contact you with an alt shortly to apply and you can bring him in
How could I say no. Well actually I had to tread carefully at this point because of the parties involved. Namely not violating BOTLRD, causing World War III with PL, and having to answer a lot of questions from an enraged directorate. So I appraised two people of the situation, obviously Mittens and my CEO Roland Hova. Roland thought I was in the clear but said get the okay from Mittens to do this. The green light came and I had permission to torch away an entire alliance and damn them to obscurity and most likely Hi Sec.
So we were all set to transfer SOV and give me control of the executor corp at 10pm EST. That’s when tragedy struck, the shadow of Black OPs fell upon one their panic evacing jump freighters. So I had to spend then next 30 minutes on voice comms getting the marks to chill the fuck out. Which they did after promises of prompt compensation that were to never come. So I received control over 10 systems stations and all. Sadly the CEO had just paid rent so I was going to have to get my 30 billion I had projected from this scam another way.
So during this time PL was informed of what I was doing. And they were rather pleased we had no intention of keeping the SOV. So they wanted me to unanchor all the IHUBs and TCUs and for my trouble I’d pick up 4 billion. How could I say no?
So I had a little trouble finding the IHUBs until the mark politely gave me a list so I could start putting in CFC IHUBs. After a lifetime of flying around in a Velator and unanchoring all the things my bloody task was done. So now the time came to announce the charade was over. First I renamed J-D and W5- to some family friendly names. Then I announced over comms to the alliance CEO I had locked up all his stations and none of his members could get out, or get their caps out. I proposed a modest 30 billion ransom since he just paid SOV bills for me. The response included his claim that he needed to take his BP meds and lie down, and kicking me off TS with only the best message ever. Namely because I raised his hopes about some massive insurrection in PL, a SOV bill and a 30 billion ransom demand.

As of right now he has not paid, and has to explain to his entire corp why the majority of their carriers, rorqs, jfs, combat ships, mining ships and whatever else they kept in three stations is forever locked away. He will probably quit EVE leaving an entire alliance rudderless. Last we spoke he feels he has no choice but to have his people come and rent space from us….
And that is what I did for my winter vacation. Special thanks to Roland Hova, The Mittani, TheAdj for his SOV knowlege, and Grath for being Grath.
