The Gank

Hi Friends !

As we were bored because our system was camped by some IT-Alliance guys, we decided to gank someone. We chose to gank someone out of the leadership of the "Community of the War Academy" Alliance / "War Academy" Corporation just because they are mostly a bunch of helpless idiots.
- Could they wardec us ? Unless they are really suicidal, no !
- Could they have some mercs wardec us ? (Yeah baby, bring it on !) With the exception of Myzer that bunch is quite bankrupt and I doubt whether Myzer wants to throw his billions of ISK out of the window delivering us some fun.

Since they have no real option against us and since there would be a psychological internal pressure to do something, they would do something. Having no reasonable option, the stupid ones remain and behaving stupid is what they really are used to do.

So, we chose Lee Corbain's alternate Char, Tanya Morgan as target. That char was afk mining in Emolgranlan. In our plan it was important to kill the pod before CONCORD destroys our aggressing ships. We then created a highly effective setup and we successfully executed the gank including the podkill.

Since Lee Corbain had no intelligent option, he, as I predicted, started to use the stupid ones: He set us on orange/red with the consequence he and his kind is now red for us, too, making themselves valid targets everywhere we see them, especially in Lowsec and 0.0.
Myzer, as soon as he heard about the gank wanted to discuss with me and he did for hours. He wanted me to post an excuse or at least a neutral statement. But that was not what I wanted. I decided to take a further step and to post a clear threat in their forum instead. I wanted them to feel uncomfortable and I wanted them to take further steps.

As we do have some friends within their ranks, we are fully informed about each step they take.
We have identified primary targets if we decide to take further steps:
- Lee Corbain, because he is the CEO and he is responsible.
- Myzer, because he is an imposter with some ISK we want him to blow up by paying mercs against us.
- Nyrlin, because that guy is just a stupid asslicker.

I for myself feel that I have converted to the dark side.
I for myself feel that I want revenge against Lee Corbain.
I for myself feel that I want them eradicated.

But ...

since that bunch of guys leading the CWA really lacks reason, I won't have to do much except kick some of their asses from time to time. They won't survive internal tensions created hereby and destroy themselves eventually.

Greetings !

Negotium

Hi Folks !

Much has happened since my last post and thus I present you a resumée.

The Negotium Project was originally founded by Lee Corbain and me, Humpfgrunz. There was the idea of a double leadership with him focussing on training new players and me focussing on PvP and Wars.
Tensions arose when we planned a wormhole-trip to raise some ISK. He managed his personel to withdraw from that wormhole project and he sabotaged it wherever he could. In response I promoted the planner, Qor'Esch to the position of being my Co-CEO in the Passion of War.
Lee Corbain then started an unfriendly takeover of the negotium alliance which I harshly prevented.
We remained in a situation where in order to keep friendships among players, we didn't resolve our dispute and postponed it both.

With the beginning of the year 2010, Lee Corbain founded his "Community of the War Academy" and the War Academy left the Negotium Alliance.
We, the Passion of War had the luck to get EVE-Union on Board of the Negotium Project. The EVE-Union had its own problems at first, but in the long run, the partnership between Passion of War and EVE-Union was the best, which could have happened. They brought in some very experienced Fleet Commanders and we had some very keen PvP pilots.

Doing some Lowsec-Roamings at first, we started to occupy Doril (0.0).

Again tensions arose with the CWA/War Academy where Lee Corbain tried to intervene with our goals.
The point came, where enough was enough and so I decided to sack them if they didn't stop harrassing us immediately.
They left just before I would have ejected them right out of the Negotium anyway.

Since then a stream of players left them and joined one of our corporations.
Be it the Passion of War with high taxes and ship replacements, be it the Space Demolition Inc. focused on production and with no taxes, be it another corporation within our alliances.

Without any interference by some weird guys who lack real life, we now can handle things much simpler then ever.

The Negotium now is a coalition of alliances and corporations. The new leadership is the leadership of the EVE-Union and the Passion of War.

The wars we lead since had been a huge success and our players build a strong unity.
Without any tensions within leadership anymore, we have become attractive to other players which observed us for months and now decided to strengthen our forces with their membership.

We are in talk with alliances wanting to join the Negotium, we have Corporations in progress to join one of our alliances. We are a rising star !

What happened to CWA/War Academy ?
They are busy loosing their playerbase, by harrassing those who helped them, by commanding their remaining playerbase how to play EVE-Online and by ridiculing themselves with fairy tales about how bad the remaining Negotium is.
Since they fail constantly at critically looking at themselves, they indeed have pressed the selfdestruct-Button. Now those who had been angered and humiliated by toese idiots quite reluctantly watch them dissolving and shrinking to a bunch of offline-members and carebears.

The Negotium, as we call it now (we omitted the "project" to reflect the new situation), meanwhile will grow and we alltogether work on our goals.
We are building up logistics, a capital fleet, special abilities, etc.
We have much to do.

Greetings
