    Couple of points since the thread has exploded in the last day.

    1. Not only did GS offer OWN a constellation/aid in Cobalt Edge, as Endie says, but I at one point offered to give OWN full ratting (non exclusively) throughout the region. Teredrum insisted that he wanted his members in a dense, controllable pocket such that defense fleets would be easier to form up. This is a bit odd, because in each instance Redrum was offered a deal that would make his membership vastly more wealthy, and in each case he recoiled. It's probably for the best from a GSF leadership perspective because 'shared ratting' is a drama-magnet, but this was months ago and I hadn't formulated that view yet. There's no doubt that my offer (which was without any quid pro quo) could have roughly quadrupled the wealth-generating capabilities of the average OWN member.

    2. TNT is great. We get along wonderfully with Wibla, have given them rights to BCA's old space, they show up on Dek Co fleets, hang out on jabber and are in general Cool Dudes. I didn't even ask for them, and TNT sent over their director apis and said 'audit us, why not'. They'll probably need some more love/attention/care when the OWN drama is over, but I think that'll come in time.

    For people who steal all the isk was it really a surprise that they wouldnt give up moon goo and bounties for shitty drones? its obvious they only care about monies and couldnt care less about general membership

    A misunderstanding. TCF used up their 3 guest slots for the north and Stella agreed to let BCA <-- take one of their slots. OWN was a TCF tenant from the get go.

    Looks like Varion Galactic has either voluntarily left or been kicked from OWN Alliance.

    For reference, this is the corp run by Proclus Diadouche and RiseOfFilth, two of the chatporn superstars quoted incessantly throughout this thread, such as when the geeks defeated the persians, and while we goons were allied with Molle.

    I wonder if they're going to apply to join TEST?

    http://standings.morsus-mihi.org/ Own are guests of TCF. But as TCF is no longer around(and collapsing ) they can be assumed to be guests of GSF, and we won't be great hosts much longer if they want to keep shitting on the carpet like this.

    Of course GSF isn't part of the NC, so you could see it as OWN having no hosts. TNT are chill as fuck and earn their keep.

    If RiseOfFilth joins TEST I am going to rape the shit out of him with my amazing, vastly superior to anything you can fly Ishkur.

    Rise is actually pretty chill and just likes to troll (something you could appreciate). You got trolled yo!

    They can't really fail cascade because at the end of the day the presence of the Deklein Coalition protects their space (it's not like they can hold it on their own), the OWN leadership has lots of (free ISK!) reasons to keep the alliance going and there's always more innocent corporations wanting their first taste of 0.0 they can recruit to prop up numbers. They effectively charge their member corps rent and will kick any of them who ask too many questions about where the isk went anyway. Or put another way they don't actually have to do anything useful to continue to exist.

    As long as they make token contributions to appease their neighbors and don't mindlessly aggravate them.... oh, oops.

    As long as the article talks about keeping TEST from eating paste and poking people with pencils, I'm happy.

    Also, I'm not sold on Bluephies. Couple of buddies of mine had shitty burgers there.

    Wouldn't know, the most interesting title I've ever browsed over on my way to Mittani's windy posts was, "How to fly your badger.". DurrHurrDurr is obviously the foremost expert on flying PvP Badgers. I doubt a TTN article would cover that level of expertise.

    Apparently, Badgers are the new meta-EWar. There may even be a bonus to propaganda effectiveness that the devs forgot to put in the description & attributes.

    OWN alliance is being evicted from Deklein for their leadership's repeated refusals to submit api keys to explain their breathtaking financial malfeseance. Vuk will be finding them a new home on the eastern front. Over the past two months the leadership of OWN have demonstrated a persistant resistance to working with us in the region when not outright conspiring to try to poison us to the rest of our allies. Despite weeks of patient restraint on my part, my tolerance has reached its end. OWN will be decamping to Venal, or wherever; I don't give a fuck. They have a week to evacuate their membership's assets and must commence de-sovving their territory immediately. If they resist or attempt to fight they will be reset and purged with extreme prejudice. Please be prepared to ensure their safe exit from Deklein should their leadership continue to display their signature disregard for our ownership of this region.

    Let me be the first to leak something (that everyone has probably already read):

    Over the course of our time in Eve we've lived in a great many regions. I started back in the original Syndicate days and loved it, then rejoiced as we invaded Cloud ring as it was fun and our first step into the great realm of conquerable 0.0. We lost but moved on to the south and conquered pretty much the whole thing, it was fun. We all know the story behind our collapse in Delve and our eventual rebirth amongst our friends in Deklein. TCF opened their doors to us and when they decided the time was right they granted their realm to us to manage and care for as they reached their twilight years. We have been good stewards of this region and have rebuilt our empire from its riches while making some really good friends and expanding our future possibilities.

    Inevitably as we solidified operational control of Deklein and the formation of the Deklein Coalition there were inevitable problems, namely existing tenants who felt the power vacuum presented an opportunity for self advancement at our expense. This thread is naturally about our former tenant OWN alliance.

    We have exercised herculean restraint over the course of our repeated attempts to reach a diplomatic solution with OWN alliance. Normally when faced with contempt and disobedience we have reacted with force, but we tried a new tactic of negotiation and patience with OWN and gave them every opportunity to buy into our plan for the region and to get on board with our greater plan that would enable every member of the DC to reach success and advancement in their place in eve. They have rejected every attempt to coexist and instead obstinately continued to express that they were our equals and not a member of the coalition we lead. They would continuously thumb their nose at our military adventures while touting their deployments with the NC as some sort of measuring stick for their worthiness to hold the little strip of Deklein they squatted on.

    We tried but sadly we failed. Our best diplomatic efforts were not enough to convince them to be a part of what we are building so we have asked them to depart our region for locales unknown. They have one week to get the fuck out and then maybe they will help the NC maybe they will fly off into the sunset.

    So with a heavy heart I retreat to the cold comfort of the 90's superband Semisonic and leave you lyrics to express my sorrowful feelings

    ~closing time, You don't have to go home but you can't stay here~


    Get the fuck out OWN, you're dead to us.

    Let them depart, don't harass them, but if they aren't gone in a week we'll be revisiting this post.
    Oh God please let them tell us to fuck ourselves.

    How are you counting it? GSF 1st, TEST 2nd, or is it GSF takes up no slot, TEST 1st, WIDOT 2nd? I'm a little fuzzy on whether Wildly Inappropriate. is really part of the Deklein Coalition or not.

    From the TEST forums:



    In a shocking turn, OWN's main station has been cordoned off by officials, late Friday night.

    I keep doing that. My apologies to the brave pilots of TNT.

    Oh, hey, good to see. Last time I saw it the Deklein Coalition wasn't separated out, I think. Either that or I didn't scroll down far enough with my netbook.

    If you checked prior to today we (GSF/Dek Co) weren't even on the tribute list page, it had been that long.

    Nice work TEST! I hope we get some juicy forum leaks, things must be pretty entertaining in there. I'm sure pretty much everyone is hoping they wheel out their "8 battleships!" and start shooting.

    My understanding is that Goon relations with TNT are very friendly and positive at the moment. Which may have helped make it clear just how hostile and unreasonable OWN were being. Why the NC would want to retain OWN while it has the current leadership is a mystery.

    To an extent though TEST has picked up some of the better corporations from I think both BCA and definitely OWN already (those TEST guys are energetic and expansionist) whereas the goons have pretty much become a federation in their own right with Russian and now French allies joining up. In both BCA and OWN cases most of the hatred was for the leadership and not the membership.
