I'll get the ball rolling with some Eve content/fights during the kugu blackout:
BL/NC. Abadongs brawling CFC Drake/Welp Fleet
BL Abadongs baiting xDeath with a dread at the sun and brawling their drakes
BL Tempests getting owned by Br1ck Abadongs (Rapidly escalates when capitals become involved in the fight)
BL/NC. ganking unsupported CFC capitals shooting structures (Like 100 caps got out because dictors were high)
The North was pretty alive this passed week from my small PoV in Eve.

I think that's his 4th Nyx so far? All of them terribly fitted as well. Do you know if it was stranded without fuel like one of his previous ones?
It was my Nyx. :c

Alright so I've got some pent up need to post so I'm going to detail some fights that occurred over the past few days in Geminate.
LR-2XT, 2012-05-09 02:42 - 04:48
Background
We got word from some bros in Giantsbane that Brick Squad had been reinforcing a Pinked station system. Now, from what I gather (we're not really involved very often in this theatre), Brick Squad has been being general grade-a d-bags and constantly reinforcing this one system off and on for the past few weeks. They reinforce one timer, Pinked reps it, they reinforce again, etc. Now Giantsbane is friends with Pinked and have formed some coalition type deal with other Geminate residents. As far as I know, there's a smorgasbord of alliances operating in and around Geminate these days and its been fairly active with different groups engaging each other in smallish gang warfare. Brick Squad has apparently stepped up their game and started to attack sov. This was how the stage was set for our evening of shenanigans.
Now, unlike most alliances who play in different time zones with different people from around the world, Black Legion is mainly a US TZ alliance with a few meth addict aussies and chronic insomniacs euros. We log in at our op times and go look around for people to fight. Initially, we got some intel that an aeon was being dumb and shooting pocos solo nearby. Forming sailboat tempests, we started the night by doing a bit a fishing. Unfortunately for us, dumbo decided to be smart and didn't bring out his shiny.
A new source gave us info that Brick were reinforcing an ihub with a few nyxs and dreads so we log in supers and start heading down towards Geminate. We got scouted 3 jumps from their system and the capitals got off the field. Mistakes were made when we jumped in, expecting to find Brick Abaddons at 0km, but were in fact at perfect scorch range. We take a few losses trying to get off the gate and are even having trouble killing tackle. We eventually get most of the fleet off the gate to a safe but one duder had hero'd ahead and got caught at a planet. So glorious King in the North Elo Knight, decided no man left behind and we warped back in to save him. At this point, we got really badly caught. Reps weren't holding and things looked very dim. Until, Brick decided to warp in a lone Moros.
Despite perhaps better judgement or prudence, the rightful heir to the throne of the north decided to push the button. Even though we were losing the subcap fight horribly and didn't have a hope in hell, we jumped in supers. The first Moros went down fast ~ http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13317429 under our fightbombers. And here's where all hell breaks loose. Brick squad jump in the rest of their dreads and 4 Nyxs. One of our nyx pilots is immediately put under the gun. We swapped to reps on the other supers and got to tanking. Next, we started by taking down their dps. Primaries were called and we started mauling their dreads.The goal was to reduce their damage so we took down Moros first. They tried to take down our fightbombers with their support fleet but their dreads were so close that we just recalled any fightbomber being targeted. As well, we used smartbombs next to our primaried Nyx to kill a ton of fighterbombers from the four enemy Nyx.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13317422 3nd Moros

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13317653 1st Nagl
At this point, our Nyx is down to 20% armour and slowly dying. We thought we could get a successful bubble on their supers so we bat phoned NCDot to come with their cap fleet to kill their supers. Unfortunately, all our support was either dead or no longer on the field and our temp blues were apparently too cowardly to go reship to more dictors in their station. However, our Nyx was dipping into structure at this point and we realized we needed to call in support or else we'd be one nyx short. The bat phone was rung and we lit a cyno on one of our aeons and in came the NCDot super machine to save the day. We managed to grab a few Brick support ships but the Nyx's got out when they saw the cyno go up.
I especially was glad to have personally grabbed this guy and held him for almost 35km with my overheated bonused rf point lawlz.

Today
We went back today and nuked their SBUs on final reinforce timer for the hell of it because Brick Squad tears are so salty and delicious. Apparently this will set them back a peg.

Kugu has returned just in time for me to ask a question or two that has been bothering me since the twenty man alliance roam I attended last night. We traveled through Venal and the Vale, entering both NCdot and Evoke space, and got not a single fight. It was mostly BCs of the Drake/Hurricane variety and only two logistics. It should have been a tempting non-blob opportunity for a fight, but neither alliances showed any teeth. I was very disappointed. Since I've been away from the game so long, I have to ask: is this typical NCdot/Evoke behavior now?
Secondly, last year Evoke was red to my alliance and the CFC (then under the name DekCo, I believe). Upon entering their pocket last night, lo and behold, Evoke is not red. I'm wondering what's been going on with Evoke since about November 2011. Would some kindly indulge me with a history lesson?
Atticus: I enjoyed your battle report and I humbly request you deliver more of such finely written material.
What time? Late USTZ/AU TZ you aren't going to get much in the way of formups, especially with 20 dudes.

@ Geminate.
An update from the POV of a brick grunt to help Atticus out a bit.
Geminate is currently split into 3 factions.
Solar
They have the best SOV in gem In the D-I and O2O pocket that they seem to rent out. They don’t seem interested in what is going on in the rest of geminate since as we know they have been pretty busy mopping up about half a dozen regions of systems out in drone lands.
Short bus Coalition
Currently consists of the following alliances;
Pinked
GIANTSBANE.
Broken Toys
Apocalyptic Legion.
The Irukandji
Soldiers Of New Eve
Jagged Alliance
Unthinkables
(Insert other random duders here)
They occupy 5 constellations of Geminate and most of Kalevala Expanse (where they are slowly removing bloodbound, who are putting up a decent fight for it).
Brick Squad & Friends
Brick Squad
Brosefs.
Mortal Destruction
(insert other random duders here)
Occupy the BWF-ZZ pocket.
____________________________
I started to write an account of the last two month’s battles but it’s a pretty epic tale of Eve Online low-level sov warfare that none of you guys probably want to read. Essentially it boils down to this, Brick and Short bus are pretty well balanced as opponents and this has led to many, many a good fight, with memorable whelps and victories for both sides.
After the sov free for all when UPS disbanded and Red/Legion vanished, Short bus (which then included the now disbanded controlled chaos) tried to invade brick space. They failed. Then they tried again so we decided to take the fight to them and siege LR and L-H to keep the fun fights coming. Then they tried to attack BWF again. And again. So we are hitting LR again. Does this make us douchebags? Well, if taking the fight to the carebears when they give up fighting you is being a douchebag, then yeah, and it’s fun.
We may be semi-competent douchebags but we can hold our head up high in this conflict. Almost every time there has been timer that Short bus gives a shit about they have picked up the bat phone to NC./Black Legion/Raiden or whichever bored-to-fucking-tears super cap/tengu blob is nearby. You can tell it has a negative impact on Shortbus morale having to rely on these professional gank fleets, as our standard response is to blue ball till they leave and continue to keep shooting. When we have engaged the super blobs its been on our terms and has been effective, wiping out a Black legion support fleet and getting Elo Knight’s nyx into 11% armour or Darius III making a deal with the devil to kill 6 Raiden supers, that shit is fun. Loosing 20 abaddons + support to a 60 man Tengu fleet is not, it does happen occasionally but we are not bitter about it since it’s to be expected because - meh, eve online.
Hope that helps give you some perspective on the situation. Also, thank fuck kugu is back - V- think of the lurkers - your punishing us for something we haven't done!

There was another good fight the other day in Geminate when the NBPH IHub was coming out of final reinforce. We (Brick, Brosefs, Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate) formed up about 20 BS, 7 logi and assorted tackle for the timer while Pinked and their Short Bus associates formed up their menacing brawler Apoc fleet with a tornado support fleet. Since we practically don't have any titans we flew to NBPH like common peasants. Upon arrival in NBPH we found the Short Bus fleet sitting in their tower. We entered the password and tried to bump some shit out with no success, however Pinked's friends warped off before the password was reset and when they came back we caught a few ships with bubbles.
We decided that we wouldn't get a fight this way and so we started attacking the IHub. Unfortunately our terribleness was showing when the Pinked fleet landed about 20km off our poorly positioned Guardians. The Guardians were ordered to warp out, which in hindsight might not have been the best idea, and the Guardians quickly scrambled off the field with one getting caught and destroyed leaving us with just 4 guardians and 2 oneiros. While the Guardians were trying to get back on the field we quickly lost 4 Battleships including Harvey's brand new Geddon Navy Issue. Luckily this was one of the few Brick fleets when we actually have a back up FC and we fought on. Upon our logi getting back in position our reps started holding, and we bolstered our reps further by cynoing in a single triage Archon. Short Bus ships started to go down swiftly and so they responded by lighting a cyno of their own. We held our collective breaths expecting to see Black Legion and NC. supers pour out of the cyno but instead a triage Archon and Thanatos materialized.
The fight went on with both sides repping pretty well. Deciding that it was time to put a stop to the carriers we lit a cyno next to the triage Archon and brought in some dreads. The Archon quickly melted and the tide of the battle suddenly changed. The Tornado support fleet quickly fled from the field leaving most of the Pinked fleet bubbled and being quickly killed aside from the Thanatos. Somehow we lost point on the Thanatos and he warped off the field. His elation of evading certain obliteration was short lived as it was obvious to everyone on the field that he had warped to the Sun. We sent some tacklers to the Sun and sure enough there he was at 0. We moped up the rest of the Short Bus fleet at the IHub and then went over to the Thanatos to officially end the fight.

I know you probably don't give a fuck but we didn't start the sov war, at least vs Pinked and friends. They attacked our IPS constellation first which culminated in this: http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=12908813
I can't get over this whole Short Bus Coalition and how they are able to hold space. Has anyone seen a worse collection of alliances with sov ever?
Don't get me wrong, I know there have been some terribad alliances with space in the past, but the vast majority of them rode the coattails of an alliance or coalition that was actually powerful. When your "coalition" is headlined by Pinked, GIANTSBANE. and Jagged Alliance, that has to be considered rock bottom, no?
In a word: yes.
To be fair though Pinked at least keep coming back just when we think they're all done. Part of the reason they still have their space though is them switching all their timers from EUTZ (they're a EUTZ alliance, so are we too mostly) to late USTZ so Giantsbane and Broken Toys could take care of their timers with little threat of our 10 guys in our USTZ doing anything.
Its worth noting that the tech moons in gem are split between evoke, Nc. a BL one and a PL one. None of us 'scrub's has anything of value other than the will to fight.
Yes we take on noobs, yes we have a lot of part-time veterans, yes this makes us in the eyes of the 'leet alliances' and the organized mega-blobs bad, but I beg to differ. It takes a lot of fucking effort to get Sov when your a small alliance in the face of veterans who play LOL until there is something worth logging in for and dropping 20 supers on.
The easy, truly shit alliance option to get sov of course is either to prove yourself *just enough* to get on the AAA or goon train and ride it like a donkey, or to be pets or renters, but fuck that.

When Milton said "better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven", I don't think he'd ever been to Geminate...
NC., why the logoffski? Are 60 terrible goons in prime euro beer drinking time that scary?
And lol @ the dude smacking in local before logging off and getting owned by Vee's elite probing skills
I feel sorry if we have hurt your feelings and we are so BAD?, Please look over here http://eve-kill.net/?a=top20
Worst ranked alliance with one Constellation and under 1k duders inc our Brosefs/Mode/IAC = 13th, So I look forward when we get a bit better than worst and make into top 10.
Why have Sov when you can roleplay Guristas?
I should log in my super one of these days![]()
I think he's from Brick or something?
If you can digest and read, I didn't say we where good, did I.

Hahaha! Christ you, Br1ck guys cannot put that shovel down. It's like you guys didn't learn anything during your time in Delve when your behavior literally made an entire region retch in unison to get you out. You had people setting aside their standings and past differences to combine efforts to successfully force you guys to leave.
And at the rate you're making friends in Geminate I wouldn't be surprised to see history repeat itself.

One poster does not speak for our entire alliance and most, if not all, of the ex RAGE, Majesta etc dudes that everyone hated in Delve have since left. The Brick in Delve and the current Brick are not at all similar, although most people won't believe me.
I don't know what the second line is supposed to mean. We have been pretty passive in Geminate and it's not like we've been screaming for attention or anything. In fact before the posts in this thread today I doubt a lot of people even knew we were back in Geminate.
Of course it's hard to believe you. Look at your posters' stances.
They claim that Br1ck are simply retaliating against Pink because they tried to invade your space, yet here Artjay calls them carebears because they stopped fighting/invading. But then later on describe how Br1ck relishes in blueballing. Hypocrisy at its finest. So if people blueball Br1ck they're carebears, but when Br1ck blueballs they're honourable space samurai fighting the good fight against the dirty blobbing hordes.
They complain about "super blobs" but then in a battlereport describe an even fight where Br1ck escalated to capitals, and when your enemy did the same they dropped 6 dreads on their carrier. Don't get me wrong, that's all fine and dandy. You escalated further than your enemy was able or willing, but you can't then turn around and call everyone who does the same to you "DIRTY DISHONOURABLE BLOBBERS" without looking like hypocritical retards.
And the worst offense of them all: "Who are you, Don Peyote?"
The point is that when it starts raining :getout: frogs on Br1ck in Geminate like you're reading a bizarre spaceship version of the book of Exodus NOBODY is going to be surprised.

He never said we relish in blue balling, he just said it's our standard response if we are in the wrong fleet and heavily outnumbered. Unfortunately we don't own any tech moons and a lot of our members have no idea how to make isk and so losing an entire Abaddon fleet is a bit of a big deal for us. We will almost always try and find a way to have a fight somehow though, so I sort of disagree with Artjay in that blue balling is our standard response (Woah differing opinions amongst alliance members worst alliance in eve)
I wrote the battlereport and didn't complain once about supers or blobbing so I don't know what you're talking about here. I suppose it's unfortunate in this case that I didn't completely base my posting around the opinion of another random, single Brick member in order to make my battlereport not so hypocritical.
Fair enough.
brick are honourable combatants
