Just because we are winning is no reason to give up
If we pay, the word gets around. I would hate us to be viewed as a milking goat for the wardeccers.
They are not making profit either with the war. They thought they'd extort money from us yesterday after they had blown us to pieces.
In fact, despite Bethors opposite opinion, I view yesterday as another great victory for us. They were camping (properly this time) us, and they got practically nothing to show for it. We on the other hand got some very good experience at speed un-docking and keeping silence on coms. They blathered on in Local and did show their mental capabilities are not very high (and that they believe us to be similar retards).
Yet again, I fail to see the sanity in giving up when we are so clearly winning this. We need the good reputation we can get from this, and we certainly do not deserve the bad reputation we would get from folding at this point. If the good reputation does cost the corp 300 million ISK in lost mining, then so mote it be, if you ask me that is
Let's get all the experience we can from this, it is after all going to last just five more days (unless the enemy is even more retarded than what they have appeared to be so far).
