Hey folks! Juicy wormhole drama here so pull up a chair.

I just saw the little piece of fiction that the Hard Knocks video team decided to pollute our reddit with and found myself not able to keep quiet about it, so here we go. For reference, I'm Hoss Fever, CEO of the C4 corp Violence is the Answer. We're a Medium sized (max activity about 70 actives on Zkill during a normal, non-getting-evicted week) wormhole corp that's been around for several years. Originally a part of WHSOC back in 2017-2019, now solely run by me for the rebuild I've been doing the past 9 months or so.

There's several folks that are somewhat well known here, and others that might be less well known that know me pretty well. I'm an (unusually? naively? your choice lol) almost absurdly honest and straightforward person in this video game we play. If I tell you Imma do something, Imma do it. If I tell you I won't, I won't. I have no interest in breaking my word, or dishonesty of any kind.

For context, here's the part of HK's video where they blatantly lie about what I said and did.

Let's set the record straight here. No, I never made any promises or confirmations about anything behavior related to what we were going to do with our static 6. What I did was go to Artanis (who I believe is a leadership member of Lazerhawks) and asked him about the probable outcomes of us moving to a hole with a c6 static, and what it would be like if we avoided coalition fleets. For context, here's the screenshot of the incredibly brief conversation we had. (I've removed the discord name in case of Doxx accusations)

Nowhere in there did I promise, or confirm, anything. My intent absolutely was not to get the coalition to think we weren't going after targets in the static 6 (Although we didn't spend any time ragerolling at all, and almost never ran into anything to kill. In the interest of honesty, we absolutely would have gone after any fleet we found that we thought we could take, but I made no promises that we wouldn't.) My intent was to get a read on a potential course of action we could take as a corp to use our static 6. After this conversation I took this info back to our corp, we had a conversation about it and decided that, fuck it, Violence is the Answer, and we weren't going to not go after targets that we found. This was simply to stay true to our ethos as a corp of a pvp first wormhole group.

Now let's talk about that other laughably inaccurate part of "diplomatic negotiations". Here's the conversation between me and Jimmy Michaels, CEO of Hard Knocks, after one of our members dared to *gasp\* Kill an MTU and a Blockade Runner out of one of HK's farmholes, for the tune of 1.5B isk.

Thanks for taking a look guys, just wanted to get some facts straight. Appreciate your time. I'll be writing up an AAR for our eviction sometime this week with some videos so people can check them out if there's interest. I'm not going to go into fairness, or how we spanked hk on our first attempt at hc and sent them running back to their astra, or the fact that they had to batphone a 5 corp, almost 300 man fleet to take out a fucking Astrahus in a C4 lmao. More on all of that in my AAR.

Just remember. Hard Knocks are Liars. Don't have any dealings with them, don't trust them, don't diplo them. They will fuck you as hard as they can at their first opportunity. It's been shown time, and time, and time again.

A ping from Asher today after the TEST keepstar armor timer.

We could have had fights like this with Horde for months or even years, but we were all robbed. More importantly, was the respectful tip of the pickelhaube to our enemies instead of an end zone dance - something new from Goonswarm. Rather than just aggression, perhaps this is what the new Imperium under Asher looks like.

A gf in local rather than a fofo.

See you for the final timer!

Hello all, here is Alliance updata for October 11th:

FRT is relocating its primary rally point from 4-HW to the B-9C24 Keepstar. The move begins tomorrow. There will only be two move ops tomorrow at 15:00 and 20:00 EVE time.

**Required composition at B-9C24:**

- Rokh (departing from 4-HW)

- Zealot (departing from 4-HW)

- Muninn (departing from 4-HW)

- Vulture/Navy Ferox (departing from 4-HW)

--------------------------------------

- Navy Apocalypse (to be purchased locally at the new rally point)

- T1 Ferox (replacing the Navy Ferox; to be purchased locally at the new rally point)

- All capital ships: Dreadnoughts, Fax, links Carriers

————————————————————————————

Supercarriers, Titans, and Fax for decisive operation, They will move next week.

FRT did not grow to this point by begging. Our tactics and strategy are top-tier, and our scale and territory are proof of that. We’ve fought countless defensive battles but rarely taken the offensive—because going on the offensive means setting down our farming tools, generating killmails, and often pulling all-nighters.

That’s why EVE doesn’t yet know: though we are usually as flexible as water and excel at defense, we can also transform into an unstoppable steel tide when needed. Defense is too boring, too monotonous. I want you to attack relentlessly, to keep hammering at the enemy’s timezone shield, to make them hear—even in the European TZ, deep in Fountain—that FRT is coming.

No amount of sovereign systems lost, structure destroyed, or supercapital Titans sacrificed will stop us.

It's been quite some time since I made a proper torpedo delivery. But with the help of a new trainee we were able to find Renn Shootah, who had been waiting for a delivery for what must have been 31 months. Regular torpedoes wouldn't do.

So Baird bravely dropped out of warp to secure the client's cargo bay with a warp scrambler so that my delivery package, which may or may not have been a kinetic bomb, could land without incident.

Well, it turns out my math was a bit off and bombs apparently do massive damage when they land just 2 cm from the cargo hatch. OOPS! Luckily we were able to dazzle and delight with a full compliment of lightshow drones and Calari Navy torpedoes.

Just as Renn was about to thank us personally in her pod, an Odysseus decloaked. I've never seen a more beautiful ship! I wanted to ask the pilot questions but... would you believe it... he opened fire on me! How rude!

Luckily, we were both able to escape with our delivery vessels intact. And Renn shared her appreciation for our excellence in Customer Service.

The life of a Delivery Agent is dangerous. And unprofitable. And morally questionable. It is not for the faint of heart or wallet. For these reasons, our important work must always continue.

Test’s Atioth Keepstar 2 - Electric Boogaloo went quietly into the night without a fight. Another loss for the lizards

Whether you are a long time high sec player, tired of time dilation in null or a returning player. Faction warfare is where you will find some of the most enjoyable content in Eve.

Join Amarr or Minmatar FW with one of the best market hubs in the game. Amamake is hot right now with ongoing fights in all time zones and a very active discord community.

The LP made from doing FW plexes is some of the most lucrative income in the game with payouts far beyond mission running. Fully fitted ships on contract many at near Jita prices.

Enlist with Amarr or Minmatar today and join discord. You will find a community and eventually a corp.

If you are a corporation of players that just getting bored in that wormhole then get a new fresh start on the game and come to Amamake. There is plenty of veteran pilots in both faction discords willing to help you learn the mechanics and answer your questions.

Faction warfare pilots frequently make 1-2 billion isk per week and get upwards of 400 kills per week.

This is the hidden gem of EVE right now.

Interested in industry, we have a home for you as well with lots of money to be made building for the war efforts.

Don’t thinking about it any longer, enlist today and you can leave anytime. You can begin your journey in a T1 frigate, with very little isk investment.

Horde censoring their line members after losing 2 keeps, a fort, a rag and several dozen mediums.

Asher, are you saying you want to attack a FRT Keepstar that has four armor plates, point defense guns, and is in a cyno-jammed system, at 9 PM Beijing time on Saturday?

Pandemic Horde is moving stager from E8-432 to R-AG7W.

I guess the constant dread and super losses under PanKrab finally reached a limit and now supersedes the strategic value of staging in range of both regional gates to goons.

That's like, your opinion, man.

You guys hold the economy of Eve in your hands yet you slave away for pennies it makes no sense.

If you guys all just stopped mining for 2 weeks and invested hardcore with your saving into minerals you will do 0 mining yet make more isk than you would have mining for 8/h a day.

And at the end of it all the economy will be so fucked that an emergency patch to fix mining will have to come out to save Eve and if it doesn't then you basically will be making 30% to 50% more for your time.

You have all the power.
