The Butterfly Effect

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

The Captains Log 7/1

Solarsystem: Irnin; Domain Region

 

We have all seen the Butterfly Effect trailer that promotes the idea that single person’s actions can affect the lives and game play of everyone one around them. Well let me now tell you a story about the butterfly effect.

It all starts with a corporation called the Disgruntled Postal Workers Union, who happens to have an undefended POS with some tasty labs anchored around. Naturally, this a great target for CPR so we war dec them with the intention of reducing the POS to space dust. However, an Atlas member convos me and explains that Disgruntled Postal Workers Union is a alt corp for Atlas alliance and if we don’t drop the war dec they will war dec us. So after a bit of haggling we come to an arrangement and they pay us 175 mill to drop the war dec. Then they find out that Prometheus09 is in Systematic Chaos, who they are blue to and therefore they want a refund. I have always stated that CPR was not an alt corp of sys-k and therefore their blue standings done apply to CPR. However, Atlas didn’t think so strangely enough. Anyway after a little bit of thought I decided to put the 175 mill away for a rainy day.

We then we went to Inrin where we had located a nice POS worth 1.6 billion which gave us all itchy trigger fingers and a very real desire to blow it up. While doing some further scouting in Inrin we found some POS owned by Chribba and thus we found a use for the 175 mill ransom we got from Atlas; war decing Chribba. Now a lot of you know the story from here. We managed to steal one of Chribba’s POS by bumping his Orca off the tower after he had conveniently unanchored it for us which resulted in Chribba smack talking me in local a little bit

Epimithius09 > thanks chribba
chribba > enjoy
Chribba > couldn’t care less about the towers themselves
Epimithius09 > we like towers : )
Chribba > yep I know
Chribba > question is if you like it because you fail at pvp or if you just enjoy taking on defenceless stuff?
Epimithius09 > i do fail at pvp : ) and it is fullfilling work
Chribba > aye then look forward to two more towers tomorrow then
Epimithius09 > we do indeed
Chribba > great

Then Chribba turned to the denizens of the Crime and Punishment forum for help in fighting of us big bad POS greifers.

It made a lot of people hate us.

A lot of people came to help Chribba.

We killed them.

They killed us.

They war deced us.

All up we received nine war decs and then we joined Privateer Alliance. An alliance that welcomed us with wide open arms since we were bringing lots of free war decs and we payed the fees. As it turns out the majority of corps were quite willing to attack a small alt corporation but once we were in privateers a half of then dropped their war decs quick smart. In the words of Zedrik Cayne:

Zedrik Cayne > No, your little alt corp won’t be worth the 150 mil it would cost per week. I’ve got better wars to spend that on.

Prometheus09 > wow you make such a big issue of it then say were not important. I’m hurt now

 

However the real issues started cropping up when the Sys-k alliance leader, Liam Freeman, came back from vacation and saw Chribba’s thread.

He was not very happy.

He kicked me from the alliance

Then he kicked my corporation, I.M.M from the alliance.

Now no one will even trust me in a diplomatic position, I can’t figure out why. There’s nothing wrong with my diplomacy skills. However, it should be know it wasn’t just me war decing Chribba that made him do this. There was about 11 other reasons, my actions were just the last straw.

So there you have it. The actions of one person managed to piss off half of Eve which then pushed my alliance leader in kicking me from the alliance along with another 300 people in my corp. There you have it, the butter fly effect.

I have to say so though I’m sorry that my actions did affect my corp in the way that it has. Still it was fun (apart from getting kicked from the alliance).

Attacking the King of Veldspar

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

This press release has being distributed in response to the recent actions of CONCORD Preservation and Recovery against the Alliances Otherworld Empire and Otherworld Empire Productions. 

CONCORD Preservation and Recovery is a corporation that aims to protect lunar bodies from the geological damage they sustain from POS’s. In particular offline POS’s provide a real danger to lunar bodies due the hazardous chemicals they release, which results in damage to the geological formations found on moons. Online POS do not offer as much of a threat to moons as offline POS but they still attribute to the geological damages found on moons, thus CPR will take out online POS when it is deemed viable. For more information on the mission statement of CPR please follow this link) 

While scouting the system of Inrin an offline POS, as well as two onlined POS’s, was located by CONCORD Preservation and Recovery that were owned by the New Eden Celebrity Chribba. CONCORD Preservation and Recovery does not believe that a person’s POS should be off-limits due their position in society as an offline POS, irrespective of the owner, is promoting the destruction of lunar environment, thus the offenders POS has to be removed and the owner prosecuted. To this end CONCORD Preservation and Recovery placed war declarations on Otherworld Empire and Otherworld Empire Productions, the two alliances owned by Chribba. 

In response to this Chribba proceeded to online the offlined POS and then began the process of unanchoring one of his POS’s in an attempt to avert the course of environmental justice. This resulted in some of the CONCORD Preservation and Recovery pilots to waiting at his POS until the unanchoring process had nearly finished and then bumped his orca of the POS and used our own industrial ship to confiscate the Dread Guristas Small Control Tower that he quite thoughtfully unanchored of us to help pay for the war declarations. 

With the knowledge that unanchoring his POS would result in its confiscation and with the war dec going live in a short period of time, which would result in their destruction, Chribba proceeded to advertise his predicament on GalNet. The residents of New Eden rallied to his cry for help and proceeded to help him avert the course of justice. When the war dec went live some 60 Chribba supporters turned up in Inrin to remote repair the POS in Pospreys. The pilots of CONCORD Preservation and Recovery acknowledged that the support Chribba was receiving would make it impossible to kill the towers. Therefore, our pilots proceeded to attack the neutral reomote rep, which resulted in number of Posprey being killed until our glorious martyrs themselves died in the protection of the rights of the lunar environment.

Placing the war decs on Chribba also resulted in the chest beating of many  corporations on GalNet who threatened to war dec CONCORD Preservation and Recovery and never let us live in peace. So far only 10 war decs have being placed with Noir Mercenary Group retracting theirs shortly after. CONCORD Preservation and Recovery also retracted their war declarations shortly after due to the realisation that it would be impossible to take down the offending POS’s. This is of standard practice for CONCORD Preservation and Recovery as the goal is to destroy POS’s. If a POS can no longer be destroyed there is no reason to keep the war dec active as there are plenty of POS out there that need to be removed due their participation in the destruction of the lunar environment.

tl;dr 

We war deced Chribba 

We stole one of his POS’s 

He made a forum post and lots of people hated us. They threatened to war decs. Some of them even did. 

Some questions people have 

Why did we war dec Chribba? Because he had some POS’s that would be easy to kill and make us a nice profit. Also, because it would be fun. 

Did I know who Chribba was before I placed the war dec? Yes I did. 

Did this influence my decision? Yes it did. Normally I won’t war dec an alliance as it is too expensive to do. I made an exception here as it was Chribba
