We have been challenged to a duel.
On Saturday, we will meet the mighty TEST alliance on a battlefield most glorious, in a RIFTER smackdown for the ages.
We will be going many jumps to a far off land of wonder, so pack a lunch.
That is all.

Not going all the way to Deklein, that shit is way too far.
It will be an entertaining destination though.
Good, good... *polishing 200mm AutoCannon I*
Onward to Deklein!

TEST should win this one single-handedly, and not am not trolling
Hey, should the 54Th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry win this honourable duell, could we get one of those OWN techmoons as a reward? I'm pretty sure good things will be done with that income including an endless stream of prefitted rifters and trashers for every brave soldier. Hell, we might be even in the position to use named instead of vanilla T1 modules!!!!!Originally Posted by Groundhog
I trust in Skymarshall Heath Ledger to lead us to victory... Or to get us all equally killed by a PL bombing run lead by that villian Phreeze.TEST should win this one single-handedly, and not am not trolling
The facts have a strong anti-A- bias.
God damn it, I have a date on saterday.
ITS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG TEST.

Crapsicle is go?
[Arrador] possesses a considerable understanding of ship configurations, strengths and weakness. He gives clear and purposeful instructions, is good at taking advantage of the fleet-composition he's dealt, and never loses sight of the main goal: fun. This, paired with an excellent tolerance for strong drink gives him an almost Churchillian capability to win, despite being completely pissed on booze most of the fleet operation.
I can't wait 'til some random goon/redditor/Phreeze warps his smartbombing battleship on top of the clusterfuckfight and kills everyone.
Also, can we invade Deklein? Rumor has it the Corrupt Confederate State of OWN Alliance have acted most dishonourably; and thus it's space, and people, is in grave need of liberation.
I'm going to try and shoot for 30-40 Test frigs for this, I don't want to completely outblob you guys as that would be no fun.
Here that boys?
We need 40 able bodied horsemen for this sortie!
If you think that's grave, what until you find out about the dire situation on the Gurista front.

HERE BE MARCH!

We will be utilizing our world renowned Flying V formation, I hope the 54th can come up with a decent counter or I may feel slightly bad.
By using the renowned ''rotation'' tactic we will never be locked.
You sir, and your merry band of newbies, will be in for a world of pain.

I have been commanded by my boss to go to his barbecue instead
no I don't repair hvacs
Haha, works barbeque?
They are always cringe inducing or stupidly over the top because people drink far too much because they are trying to have fun with people they see everyday and dont really like that much, but cant leave early because the boss is oblivious to the misery.
Extra points if you sleep with someone and have to spend the rest of the year avoiding them in the workplace.

Well, my wife is picking her dumb friend up from Jail right now. I'm hoping it takes longer than the next three hours or so so I can attend. Otherwise, she'll want me to get off the computer to tell me the story of how the dumb bitch got into a DUI accident.
I noticed Chribba claimed 9uy, we should say hi after the op.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
This starts in a little over than an hour.
We will be starting from our NEW OFFICE in Serpentis Prime.
Rifters will be provided there, so you can just podjump over.
If you need a special snowflake frig, you should do so early and put one together somewhere in fountain core.
Why not set the clone in Prime and form up in Thrashers in Nakah.
We will fly to our death so we end up in Prime.
It will be a good warm up for our death match.

Not all of us are using no sp alts you know :rageface:
They cheated first

I told you that rotation would win us the match.
Rifters out, Archon in.

Op success !

On the subject of the battle occurring the sixteenth of October in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Ten:
Our troops fell in at our newly established forward assembly area bordering the town of Serpentis Prime. After muster, we were found to have fourteen able bodied rifters ready to give their souls in defense of our Honor against the dastardly TEST alliance, who were winging in from their stronghold of Deklein to meet us on the field of battle.
After dispatching a local sentry and his accomplices (http://54thforglory.eve-kill.net/?a=...kll_id=7826830), we proceeded to footmarch to the neighboring citadel of MN5, and laid in wait for our hated enemy to arrive.
Some time later, the forces of TEST emerged from the woodline and marched in line of battle towards our formation. With both lines drawn, the bugles rang out and both sides charged into each other, with a clamor most horrendous.
The battle did not go well for the 54TH, as it seemed the TEST forces were better equipped with such madness as T2 modules, rigs, and even an ECM griffin, these all being against the rules of the agreed upon duel.
As our brave souls were extinguished, Skymarshall Phreeze suddenly decloaked and opened a cynosural field; The FIGHTIN' 54TH Capital Fleet ripped through the fabric of space and emerged to even the odds!
A wave of fighters launched forth from the mighty Archon, the U.S.S. Freddie Mercury, and swept over the offending TEST pilots like the hand of God, wiping out a significant portion of their forces and beating the scoundrels that remained alive back off the field, retreating like cowards from whence they came.
Casualty Report from the Doctors: http://killedby.dredd.it/?a=kill_related&kll_id=35822
Though our casualties were high, our brave men gave their lives in defense of the most important thing possible; The honour and glory of our intrepid unit, the FIGHTIN' 54TH
Also afterwards we died to some smartbombing battleships again. http://54thforglory.eve-kill.net/?a=...kll_id=7828507
Yesterday's battles were surely among the 54th's bloodiest trials to date. Indeed I cannot imagine a grimmer picture of war than that glimpsed in these records. Although our force numbered only 16 or so, nearly everyone died, and most died several times.
After podding ourselves to serpentis prime, we undocked in rifters and were engaged by the bellicose Huns who pollute the region. After some dicking around on stations, General Phreeze obtained a warpin on a hostile Curse, which was handily dispatched by the hale and hearty boys of the 54th: http://54thforglory.eve-kill.net/?a=...kll_id=7826830. The treacherous TEST slaveholders then arrived in yz- flying t2 fitted rifters and 1 ECM griffin (clear violations of our dueling code) and began to agitate for state's rights in local. As we prepared to engage them, several Huns warped in on our position, having reshipped into sniping HACs. A few of the slowest and most stupid members of the 54th were incinerated before they thought to warp away, but in their defense they had probably only been playing this game for a few days and had never seen zealots before.
With reduced numbers (a problem exacerbated by a couple of people randomly warping off in confusion), we finally engaged the rebels, but their greater numbers and illegal weaponry were poised to carry the day. General Phreeze had planned for this eventuality, cyno'ing in an Archon to even the odds; unfortunately, this overzealous "secret weapon" failed to distinguish between friend and foe, killing Heath Ledger himself, who was podded with a valuable set of implants.
Realizing that a few rifters remained in the corp hangar, the rugged survivors of the day's battles regrouped at Serpentis Prime and set out once again to face the Huns. We were almost immediately destroyed by a smartbombing megathron and typhoon that came though a gate in yz-. The fighting spirit of the 54th remained undimmed, and a noobship/frigate thunderdome began at the serpentis prime station, which ended when yet another zealot warped in. In conclusion, glory to the Union, General Phreeze, and Lincoln's beard.
edit: beaten again
I think the most viable lesson learned of yesterday's battle is the following:
Not the Confederacy nor TEST are the arch-nemeses of the glorious 54th, smartbombing battleships are.
The facts have a strong anti-A- bias.
I think bombs in general
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Guys, in clear FOTM fashion should we not be fitting smartbombs?
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
On our Rifters?
No-one would expect it. We could catch our enemies unaware!
Ans while they die laughing, Skymarshall Phreeze unleashes our Cap-Furies on them?
That's another skill to train. Bridle your expectations, lad!
The facts have a strong anti-A- bias.
smartbombs and cyno gens on rifter... make this happen. wait no don't - we'd forget to turn off smartbombs and SB anything coming through the cyno.

I am glad there was an enjoyable skirmish. Sadly I was not able to attend.
