When you go too far...

War 1 – Day 9
I logged on today, expecting the same thing we got the past few days, us staring at them in their Drakes. While we did get this, what also happened destroyed any remaining respect I had for these corpies. I’m not judging all their members with this, but some of the stuff which has been said is disgraceful.

Before we get onto the juicy gossip, we have created another plan. To combat the ever increasing use of Drakes, and the new escalation of battleships used against us in our war we have begun “Operation Level Up”. The plan will take 2-3 months to properly complete, phase 1 can be completed within a day, but we have agreed to do it right first time, so we expect phase one to be implemented within 2 weeks, depending on how the current situation develops.

We have sourced contacts to make the required equipment for a good price, and also allow us to return to replace equipment when needed. Sounds sweet.

  Patience Andy, soon you will be camped in a station.

So, our engagement today was mostly stand offs. We were several hundred km from the gate, and we where aligned away from it, so we basically drifted while we watched them trying to figure out how to get to us. I was impressed once, because I thought they were thinking outside the box with one attempt, but I was quickly corrected, as they warped to the gate at 100km. Ah well.

This went on for a good while before one of them went to get a rifter. The rifter had a MWD installed so was travelling around 3km/s. I tell the fleet to stop the after burners so he could catch us quicker. He get within 30km and we lock, drones, guns and point him. He’s dead within 30 seconds. I was too quick with the fleet warp though as we left our drones behind. No big loss though, only T1 stuff. So, we are in a safe spot now, and who should come into local but their old CEO, our supposed contractor.

Their CEO announces himself on local and the channel erupts with smack talk from our war targets towards their old CEO. I face palm at some of the stuff, comments on this sexual preference, how he’s a coward. Actually ASKING him to war-dec them. Athlon himself states that he has had nothing to do with us war-decing them, that along with our own statement that he is not the contractor still does not seem convince them that he is in fact, not the contractor. Ah well.

Athlon seems to be cool headed in this engagement over local, taking all the smack talk with ease and still appearing civilised, even after comments on his kids. This is a step too far I feel, I can understand people like to smack talk, but there is no need to get personal. Perhaps these guys should remember their own advice of “it’s just a game”.

“Public fights is better than tv”, a bystander on local came out with this comment, very true. I left half way through it, and rustles decided to sit with pop corn and watch the disaster unfold all over local.

When I leave I hear that the conversation takes a downward spiral. Here are a few of my favorite, well, most pathetic, quotes. They are ranked of course:

1. [ 2010.08.18 22:10:23 ] xXWarpJumperXx > ATHLON, go look after your kids, before the end up like you
2. [[22:54:29] Ferox Heth > No palistians are cool. They got their country taken off them by the robbing theiving, c**ts that is the jews.
3. [22:53:37] xXWarpJumperXx > KILL THE JEW!
   [22:53:41] Frank Lonehorn > I hate them too
   [22:53:46] Ferox Heth > Hitler had one thing right
4. As athlon leaves local
   [22:50:34] xXWarpJumperXx > go get hit by a bus

It is disgraceful comments like these that can lead to a very long war-dec.

Of the entire smack talkers (from our war targets) who were participating, a special mention has to go to andy for keeping within the boundaries of smack talk, good job.

I have censored this a little bit from what the original had (none), to make it appear a bit more civilised. Of course this shameful log is saved, if anyone wants to see the whole unadulterated version send me a mail in game or leave a comment and I will send it to you.
