    Warping out was the right move, actually. Sometimes it's best to save your ship for another day.

    As for the p3en/ipay fights in p3en, pretty sure everyone in GENTS felt some respect for IEGEX for being willing to go all-in with their carrier squad (even if their carriers were totally shitfit). Sometimes that's what it takes to defend your home, and you guys rose to the challenge.

    And damn those EC drones!

    Yeah, Mittens said we needed to find some new space since he was making room for PL to move into Cloud Ring, so welp! I guess everyone else in GENTS likes running The Maze more than I do. :-/

    cuz we all need/like a bed-time story:

    CTA 9/24/11 - Roughnecks vs Gentlemen. Hooraah

    « on: September 25, 2011, 04:08:57 AM »


    After a week of harassing by GENTS using cloaky faggy ships and hotdropping a single drake with 30 guys, onlining SBU's in KRUN/K8X/P3EN (which we shot down again) and shooting our POS modules and incapping them (which we repped), it was ready for the 3rd timer on the IHUB in P3EN. First, let me explain that this was planned. Orders were to not engage them while they reinforced our IHUB and wait on the final timer. This gave us time to plan strategies and set them in motion.

    While I was away on a small and deserved break in Germany, I check Eve Gate to see what was going on and I saw that Cizani called for a 100% participance CTA (which basicly means, non-combat alts should log the fuck off) to defend the IHUB in P3EN. While blasting my way over the German and Dutch motorways (I think I'll receive a picture from the cops in NL. I wonder how much 160km/u will be. Hmm...), I was just on time to participate. The main fleet were allready shooting a new onlined GENTS SBU and I decided to not burn to K8X and switch my cynabal for a pest, so I just stayed with the fleet and do some damage. Some GENTS were able to bring some bombers into MY and managed to kill some guys who were not orbiting the gate at the desired range as ordered. After bringing the SBU down, we onlined ours and made our way to KRUN to regroup.

    After regrouping, our 60+ fleet made their way to P3EN where I was able to change to a PEST. The IHUB came out of reinforce and we started repping it, while hearing our scouts about the GENTS forming up at their titan bridge. We just waited for them to come and soon their known cyno-pilot came into the system. After a small while he decloaked and lighted cyno and to bring 60 guys in. Our own cyno lighted up and in came a number of capitals to assist us if needed. The fighting went down, Cizani and our logi's managed to die rather early in the battle. A new FC stepped up and announced primaries, while our carriers were providing reps and finally GENTS decided to warp out to Obe and make ready for round 2. After the fight, the people who lost their ships went back to their station systems so they could replace their losses, while the rest were getting back to repairing the IHUB. After this fun fight, it was time to move the rest of the support fleet to KRUN and regroup for round 2. Result round 1: 31% efficiency.

    The 2nd round happened while GENTS lighted another cyno in P3EN and decided to bring in +/- 80 people. While still waiting on their movement, GENTS decided to jump into IPAY and wait for us there. In the mean time, I arranged some new Liquid Ozone for the cyno, so that our capitals were able to provide support if needed. While we made our way to IPAY, our scout informed us that they put a bubble at range from the P3EN gate and we decided to fight them there. As soon as the fleet landed on the bubble, the scimi's got out of range and people were burning to the P3EN gate. Primaries were called and in the mean time I jumped in my alt to light the cyno so that the capitals could provide support. Their and our fleet were having a great and fun fight on the P3EN gate. Because we lacked logi's at the time, Cizani's decided to put his carrier into triage and provided the logistics to keep our fleet alive. The downside is that he managed to lose another ship... A 2nd carrier was getting primaried after he went down, some brave pilots gave him the armor and cap to stay alive. Eventually we got the upperhand and their 9 scimi's weren't able to keep up with our damage and they warped away, while making their way back to Taisy we regrouped and started repping the IHUB again. Result round 2: 52% efficiency.

    Our scouts were still informing us on that GENTS were again getting ready for round 3 and a lot of guys were getting ready on the Titan. At the same time, our scout in MSHD told us that a neutral lighted a cyno and around 80+ guys from Pandemic Legion decided to pay us a visit with an abaddon/guardian/carrier fleet, including their titan. While being alligned, moments later a new cyno opened in P3EN and PL brought in their fleet and started shooting us. The majority of the fleet got safe and the rest managed to kill some guys from PL, but it costed us 2 carriers.... After this, we exchanged some o/ and gf in local; and they rewarded us by shooting down the GENTS SBU in P3EN

    After this went down, we onlined our SBU and made sure that the IHUB was getting repped again. From this moment, it was rather quiet and GENTS tried some bombruns. But that was it. Our IHUB and JB in P3EN got repped up and the same goes for our jammer and JB in MY. Mission accomplished \o/

    Overall, I believe we had much fun. Both of our systems were in the top 10 violent 0.0 systems and personally I thought the fights were really good and fun to do. Yes, we lost a good number of ships, we only had like 38% efficiency, lost 3 carriers but we managed to complete our mission and were able to have 2 very fun fights. Personally I think this CTA was one of the best CTA's since our encounter with WRECK alliance.

    Thank you all who came and I hope you had fun. Be sure to send your losses to your CEO/Director, so that we can reimburse them ASAP. Many thanks to the FC's and let's hope we'll get even more people!

    Confirming I was on the other side of some of these fights, I have to admit I expected a heavy slant on IEGEX's part. I didn't notice it much, and of course some numbers are skewed a bit, but the story is relatively unbiased. Respect dude, you earned it.

    I am unironically delighted that no supercapitals were necessary in the course of this campaign.

    GENTS never even used capitals outside of logistics and titan bridges.

    We never reffed a single tower. We shot a small tower to ref it but it didn't have any stront so our ref-less streak continued.

    We did ref p3en ihub into armor, ofc, and did that with tempest and 60+ assigned fighters.

    Wasn't that bad. Just load 20k EMP M into your welpcane's cargobay and follow targeting instructions. It's not as terrible and boring as you'd expect it to be. Does take a while, but the comms chatter was good enough to make it go by faster.

    So Gents is still here. I think I have won at least 3 bets on our longevity.

    So today marks the first anniversary of the founding of the Gentlemen's Agreement. I wrote a post for our forums recounting our exploits during this first year of our existence, praising my members for their efforts. It's definitely intended for internal consumption, but it also contains the factual highlights of GENTS Year One, so I thought it would be worth crossposting here.

    Today, December 31, 2011, marks the one year anniversary of the founding of GENTS.


    The alliance was founded by Lake on this day in 2010. We'd been kicking the idea around for months beforehand; we'd both had a great deal of experience in leadership in EVE, and we really wanted to take all the lessons we learned and try to do thinks right this time, with a fresh start. Thanks to a combination of diplomatic connections, savvy negotiating and the fact that the fall of IT Alliance was looming near, and that EVE was in a state of considerable flux, we had the opportunity to jump onto the galactic scene despite being an alliance more in theory than in practice.


    The alliance went online properly on January 1, 2011, when the first corps other than PRAX joined. For the first few weeks the alliance was barely more than a hope, a prayer and a shoestring budget, but even so within the first days of our existence we were on the front lines of the war between the IT bloc and what would soon become the Clusterfuck Coalition. I'm having trouble thinking of another new alliance that was founded in such intense circumstances, bootstrapping itself up from nothing in the middle of a war. GENTS in that regard may be unique.


    Thanks to the Siege of 6VDT, Fountain was soon pacified, and GENTS took pride in being the first alliance to secure 'our' space, the constellations of Wyvern and Taurus. Thanks to the trust and faith of our membership, we were able to deploy an outpost in BYXF-Q in the second month of our existence as an alliance, giving us a station to call home.


    The next few months were a crucible of a different sort, as GENTS did the soul-searching required to finally develop the "chill but competent" culture we know and love today. It was a time of flux as we sought to strike that balance and develop a solid core of corporations that were willing and able to hold themselves to the standards of capability and conduct that we demand. There was controversy and strife, as there always is, but it was a necessary part of becoming what we are today.


    Then came the abrupt changes to anomalies making our Fountain space less attractive than it was; combined with the abrupt departure of Pandemic Legion from Delve, GENTS and AIF cooperated to take several prime constellations in Delve from the remnants of IT Alliance. This effort was contested, in a gentlemanly sort of way, by the alliances that would go on to make up the 'Delve Thunderdome', ushering in a brief but idyllic period of ~goodfights~ between alliances who enjoyed a friendly rivalry with one another. This was our earliest taste of the joys of operating independently, as many of these conflicts were either all-GENTS or at least GENTS-led.


    All good things must come to an end, however. With Morsus Mihi and Brick making a last stab at relevance in Delve on the one side and Pandemic Legion striking for the heart of Deklein on the other, GENTS decided to abandon our precarious holdings in Delve and deploy in full to support our allies in Deklein. We acquitted ourselves well, and were rewarded for our efforts with space in Cloud Ring that GSF fondly regards as one of its spiritual homes. Life in Cloud Ring suited GENTS very well: its proximity to NPC 0.0 mean there were many smaller entities to spar with, and with the completion of the first alliance titan, GENTS was soon hotdropping everything that moved within three regions. We had just settled into this rhythm when we were approached by GSF leadership, who politely suggested that we might want to keep our skills sharp by doing a solo deployment somewhere else in EVE.


    We whined, we cried, we stomped our little feet and shouted "But we're keeping our skills sharp sitting at home and murdering everything in sight!"


    And then we went and deployed anyway, and it was an insane amount of fun, and probably the most educational, essential experience that GENTS has ever had as an alliance. We knocked our deployment out of the park; the target we had been messing with just for fun actually failcascaded on day 12 of a strictly limited 14-day deployment.


    That's when we truly captured the attention of the CFC, and gained the respect we deserve as an alliance. From there we have gone from strength to strength, deploying to Cache on a moment's notice, doing over ten billion isk worth of damage in a single weekend, then rapidly redeploying to Branch to help conquer a region from our once seemingly all-powerful Russian foes.


    Here at the start of our second year, things have never looked better for GENTS. We have gone from nonexistence to being seriously talked about as one of the most capable alliances in the Clusterfuck. We have formed a powerful identity and a strong bond as an alliance. We've changed the map time and time again, influencing outcomes in every situation we find ourselves in well out of proportion to our size. We have a (well-deserved) set of nominations for being the Best New Alliance of 2011. There is no alliance in EVE that should be more proud of its accomplishments in the last year.


    We couldn't have gotten to this point without the effort, pride and commitment every one of you has brought to this alliance. You've refused to settle for anything less than excellence. From following fleet doctrines to the letter to deploying on a moment's notice, from giving pro warpins to snagging enemy POS passwords, it is you, gents, who are the heroes of the alliance today. I am honored to fly with you, and I'm humbled by your trust and commitment to this project. Here's to a great year to come.


    Have a favorite memory from 2011 that you'd like to recount? Want to give a shout out to someone who particularly impacted this year for you? Post below so we can remember the good times.

    Lake runs the show. Kesper is the face.

    It has always been so, ever since Majesta when Lake ran the show and Kesper was the face. Although Mjed was more involved back then than he is now.

    Ahhh history.

    Also that post can only be internal propaganda which I think is exactly what he said to me in the kugu jabber channel It gave me a fairly solid laugh and much

    But whatever it takes to keep your activity up brosef.

    good posting is highly overrated and requires too much time. I may come across as a coarse individual but I am actually a very sophisticated gentleman, I just prefer to lay the facts out straight if you know what I mean.

    As Lake and Kesper say, Always be posting... I am pretty sure this doesn't relate to Kugu, but I was very *sad panda* when I realized that this had no activity in the last 4 weeks.

    Looks like GENTS won the Biggest Faggot for "New Face". The lack of gay marriage in my state notwithstanding (Come on California, I mean even Washington State assholes are going to allow buttlovers to get married) I have never been prouder to be a "New Face Fag".

    With the most recent move to branch we have had lots of opportunities to play around with :goodfighters/badposters: RDN and friends. Some of our friends have had poorly timed towers due to stupidity and now RDN and friends are starting some interesting kiting games.

    Our coalition experience in the past has been strategic and utter steamrolling (Ragecamps, IGEX, etc) so this new warfare style (Reminds me of the Mongol tactics of ancient history) is keeping Eve interesting and pushing back my layers of "bittervet:. We continue to do our regular roams/cleanup ops as well.

    When we first came to branch, I was very much part of the :fuckbranch: crowd as I deal with the logistics and markets (Mo' money, Mo' Money, MO' MONEY). I have started to change my tune however. While the space we occupy (I hesitate to say "our space" as it is full of FA/FCON/and other bro's who for whatever reason rat in our space instead of "theirs") is a pain for moving in and out of highsec, it puts us very close to the action, its a great jump-off point to where the "real" action will be in the coming months. I was also a bit nervous because if history teaches us anything Branch is where alliances go to get fat and bloated (WN/SP and others). I think we have a plan to make sure that doesn't happen.

    In short, active participation is up, x's for fleet are higher, people are starting to settle into our new "home" and with our new award (which I plan on trying to find a place in my CQ to place such a auspicious award, cause you know... I always load CQ) we are looking forward to the next big thing.

    Winter is over, Long live Summer....

    I could be convinced to use one of my votes for DurpDurp if he had a sane chance of winning, the comedy value of him sitting on the CSM might be worth the price of admission.

    I would be honored to accept the endorsments of such esteemed gentlemen as yourselves. During my first day on the CSM I pledge to you, my loyal followers that I will propose to CCP the following items to be added to the agenda:

    A) Expanded 0.0 space
    B) Further fixes throughout the universe of EvE.
    C) Last but not least, stemming the tide of updates which are reducing our ability to extract the maximum amount of pubbie tears from their unworthy owners.
