Another day and another leak. This time showing you The Initiative.‘s Alliance update! Enjoy!
Leadership Update #29, 18/04/2014 “Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn“
There’s never been a better time to return to Eve; the world is on fire and it’s a glorious sight to behold; I’m literally licking my lips like Audrey Horne.
Previously on Initiative…
5 months ago we returned to Curse with our ramshackle nomad caravan, fresh from renovating the refineries of Querious to sample Phoebe and have some fun harassing the local N3 populace.
While they hastily reconfigured their space and retreated into core territories, the regions of Scalding Pass, Wicked Creek, Insmother and majority of Detorid fell to the combined forces of Gorgon Empire, Red Alliance & Dream Fleet along with some timely intervention from ourselves. A variety of N3 associates (pls pay your license fee) bailed or simply imploded when their willpower evaporated (INK, breakers of our double-cocked cherub hearts). [Edit: no-one cares about this shit]
Stepping in to the new year we started assaulting GCLUB, COW (V7-MID 4 LIFE) and THOR outside the regional limits of Curse in the true wastelands of Immensea. The filthy degenerates proved a cheerful and willing bunch, bringing the fight and assuring some great content, flinging rocks and crude clubs at our gleaming Ishtar exoskeletons.
Regrettably, and as we found success with stacked victories, violated corpses and systems captured, tactically-deep USTZ timers became a cruel response, dousing the flames on our catherine wheel of destruction. With some help from CFC [Imperium] Reavers and a Laz USTZ deployment (thanks friends <3), the fun briefly resumed for a few revolutions before a full N3:1 deployment rolled back our gains and N3 space was secured.
Weeks later, and rudely shunning the ceremony of Fanfest, N3:1 charged into Fountain with NC. at the helm, steering their coalition unconsciously to disaster. GCLUB deployed their Eagle fleet to soar high above the heavens of Delve alongside their Raven brothers, leaving the marshes, moors and badlands of Immensea wide open for pillaging.
Delivered over Easter sermon, INIT. forces brought forward the gift of resurrection, destroying 40+ GCLUB and allied towers at a stroke. With our hearts filled with primitive joy, we reinforced an additional 14 systems in one passing to sustain the suffering. GCLUB returned home to their burning homes, as NC. began the long march of exile from the ruins of Delve and Querious.
Our mission well accomplished in the eyes of The Imperium, we are now making plans for the next chapter.
tl;dr: Job done, mission complete. It is over, and it never really began.
Coming up…
- A whole fucking shit-ton of stuff has changed in the last couple of weeks and we’re busy planning to take advantage of the summer release. Prepare to be more mobile and in full attack mode if our hopes are to be realised. I know everyone is anxious and excited to know what we’re doing next….we’ll have some news on this very soon(tm).
- Skills wise, make sure you have trained Advanced Infomorph Psychology to IV and Infomorth Synchronizing to IV. This is a pretty old ask so please make sure you have done it.
- A full refresh of all our doctrines is being worked on along with new guidelines and instructions on Fleet Configs
- In the meantime, we’re going to continue setting up scenarios in Immensea just for good fights. Props to GCLUB and their guys for being good sports (Mister Toucher, Chucky Badboris) <3.
- Keep your eyes on the horizons, plenty bads are inbound to Curse area (NC./Nulli etc.).
Other Stuff…
- Logo Submission (COMPLETE!) : Thank’s for all the positive feedback, I’m surprised and pleased at the response. We have submitted to CCP so let’s see if there is any feedback or changes requested. Only 6 years late…
- Garst-POS (LAUNCHED!) : We’ve a brand new alliance-wide POS tool and alpha version timer board which just went live. Huge thanks to Ravengus who has been working on this, the app is awesome and will be a big boost to everyone.
I’d like to thank a number of people for the effort they’ve put in over the last period, particularly the FC team, IT team and Diplo’s, your contribution has been amazing. I’ll cover a bit more on this in an upcoming post to make sure I capture everyone.
On a personal level, it’s great to be back (almost), although in many ways I was never fully away. The whole of last year was quite difficult to keep up and stay engaged with the alliance while I was living and working in the US (mostly out of a suitcase).
It’s great to be back home and starting to get into a normal(ish) routine again. I’m looking forward to getting back into fleets with everyone and blowing shit up.

Euro-Zulu, comin’ through
