    Wake up, see 3 new pages of posts, expect some massive shit to have gone down.

    See it's about a lost BC fleet and half a dozen dead T3's.

    It is well known that CFC alliances are judged on their small gang prowess and tight fleet comps by mittens himself. Our alliance fc's, the only ones that are allowed to form a pvp fleet(mining fleets are run by industry directors), are told to avoid losses at all cost. Alliances not meeting the daily quota for elite pvp lose a tech moon untill k/d ratios are within acceptable range again.

    So, heres for the opening rounds.

    Disclaimers
    - I’ve started keeping track from PL’s execution of the two Red Alliance Titans (15th April), if anything of note was killed before then, let me know.
    - I'm lazy, and possibly a little incompetant, let me know if theres any glaring omissions.
    - All data painstakingly hauled off Eve-kill. If they haven't got it, neither have I.
    - If I've put someone involved who shouldn't be (are HUN Reloaded officially SOCO?), again, yell (nicely). Yes, I know Black Legion aren't SOCO (yet?), but those ships were lost fighting for Nulli, so their in for now (and guys, get a logo!)
    - Come on southern propagaderists, lets see a coalition badge!
    Thanks to Lorren for pointing out a few mails that hadn't made it from PL's board to Eve-kill. I had underestimated Red Alliance's capacity to lose Nyx's in silly ways. And corrected a comedy typo (sorry Vera Cruz for showing you losing 20 dreads you hadn't).

    This war will be over when you guys decide it's over as we ain't going anywhere. We have moved to NPC station and can operate from there indefinitely.

    Better come to terms with a fact that we do not give up. We don't give a shit about sov. About anything really. You will be beaten and I don't give a shit how long it will take.
    So let me just check I'm catching you right: we will be beaten when we get bored of beating you and leave the region. At that point, strengthened by your months of not logging-in and full of a dreadful resolve, you will emerge to pounce on an empty region and set about humiliating us by retaking your sov and getting the area ready for the next person to take from you ?

    Um, ok.

    Let me say, though, that invading Delve and finding Bob castoffs crowing about their ability to wulfpax their way into the halls of eternity is really very reassuring and gives me a warm glow of memory, so thank-you for doing that for us. If you could consider occasionally sacrificing the odd Molle titan at our feet or posting that CSAAs were bulding components then that would just round things off nicely.

    It is hard for me to believe anyone can go and lead a fleet on a whim. If that is so, that's fine - my mind is blown I guess.

    Rydia is confused because a substantial amount of what passes for leadership in AAA (and more than a few of their friends) involves passing each other lists of "AUTHORISED FCs" from each corp: these being the largely fictional characters whom each corp pads out their lists with in order to appear to be pvp-centric special operations squads of death providing the military backbone of the alliance, when in fact several have barely joined a fleet let alone run them since some blue-balled 12-man vaga roam through Vale back in '09.

    Remove the first comma. Change "you're" to "your". Replace the first full stop with a colon. Remove the incorrectly-utilised apostrophe from "lokis" since it doesn't mark a contraction nor does "tasted" belong to it. The exclamation mark is fine, though.

    I'm nowhere near sober and there is no plural form of Loki so that part really doesn't matter. The best part is, I was much much less sober when those Loki mails came pouring in.

    What a lot of people don't realize, with the exception of maybe IRC and NCdot, is that we encourage everyone to lead fleets. If it gets 1.) a broadcast or 2.) had an op thread posted for it, it then becomes peacetime reimbursable. That means you can welp the fleet and people still get some money for what they lost. We put a lot of effort into training newbees not to be so precious about their ships. We hand out free rifters and thrashers so they can lead roams and die in a fire. My very first kill was a tempest: http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=11560546 The moron lost it to rifters. My second and third kills were from that same roam. We hit a drake and a myrmidon.

    My message to -A-:
    Our current skymarshal was leading daily rifter roams 8 months ago: http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=11506604
    And he's going to moonwalk all over your strategic cruiser fleets.

    -A- doesn't let you shine because they have a very draconian process for allowing people to FC things. Join a better alliance that rewards people for taking chances and having fun. Join an alliance that encourages you to challenge yourself, and your fellow alliance-mates. Join an alliance that values the line member, and not their corrupt leadership.

    Just in case you weren't trolling or whatever, Nulli Secunda is intended to mean "Second to none".
    What Endie posted is from the popular Monty Python movie, Life of Brian in case you didn't know.
    I don't know if Endie knows Latin grammar really, but it wouldn't surprise me, he never really does anymore.

    So can we end with the clusterfuck fights that happend yesterday (26th of july) - I can hardly tell where one ended and the next one began.

    Someone please make a public timers listing somewhere, I have NO idea if anything is actually in timers right now.

    Therein lies the problem. Now I'm curious though, what does it actually mean? All I know is that Secunda is the feminine form of Secundus vOv

    It does actually mean "Second to None", but the use of the feminine with secunda (instead of the masculine secundus, or the neuter secundum) implies that S2N is a bunch of women.

    Well, at least they properly used the dative with nullus.

    I wonder when people came to believe that the apostrophe means "WATCH OUT, HERE COMES THE LETTER S."

    I've actually suggested that any Dust 514 branch of S2N rectify this grammatical implication, but I've been laughed down. I guess S2N really does wish to be the little girl. I thought that was restricted to the residents of the Katawa Shoujo thread on their (absolutely fucking terrible) off-topic board.

    Punctuation goes inside the quotation marks, question marks sometimes outside it. Never not avoid space before punctuation marks, ellipsis is exempt

    Wouldn't be the first time they've been in a Götzendämmerung situation like this. One of the alliance's first experiences as a coherent entity was being an IT resident in Querious during the final death throes of Molle's dream. Compared to then, the situation looks a lot more favourable.

    I don't think you appreciate just how bad the office situation in NPC Delve is right now.

    I was snidely implying what is contained in the following quote

    One might say, quite literally.

    Well, at least they properly used the dative with nullus.
    So "Nulli Secunda" might be colloquially translated as "Best Bitches"?

    This happened in Fountain too - always nice to have office space where the fighting is happening

    I would much rather see a semicolon here. Reserving the colon for lists and having semicolon connect related, yet independent, clauses is more elegant, imho.

    Such is the colonial view. But in fact, it depends whether you follow English or American usage.

    I agree, but people overuse the semicolon ; it's annoying.

    I read it back and was aware that I sounded harsh, even unfriendly. I thought I risked alienating you Jimmy, and that I would never willingly do.

    All groups default to a masculine conglomerate, so it should really be Nulli Secundi.

    Let me introduce you to the words "syntactical-deductive colon" with an unlovably smug look on my face. The first clause, in this case, was the effect of the second.
