Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Anyways, I'll lead a gang, big or small - suicidal or homicidal - tomorrow evening from 7ish going forward.
So guess this will be a station camp in Inari, smacking in local and such?   :D

Could do - give it a couple of weeks - let the less well off guys in corp make some money, let people get JC's etc (still lots of people to get them I know).  Although lets scout them out a bit more (with alts so its not too obvious) and also, if they dec anyone else in the meantime ;)

The war between Merchants Trade Consortium and Ma'adim Logistics is coming to an end. Merchants Trade Consortium has retracted the war against Ma'adim Logistics. The war will be declared as being over after approximately 24 hours.

 ;D

Guess we bored them into giving up?  :P

Haha, they realized they wouldn't make a profit no matter what. Have a feeling they probably faced some annoyance in their own ranks due to only loosing valuable ships while not getting any tears in local.

After the war is officially over, it is time to capitalise on the propaganda, so that at least corporations considering a war-dec against us would reconsider :)  CAOD is the asylum of EVE, perhaps there is some other forum where possible high-sec war-deccers read forums? No bragging, but make it clear we did like the opportunity to fight. Perhaps something along the lines of:

"On 15th of February 2009 Merchants Trade Consortium declared war on Ma'adim Logistics. The intention of MTC was to extort money from MAADI, ie the usual business in high-sec wars.

Initial clashes on February 16th saw MTC lose ships worth an estimated 200 million ISK, while MAADI lost ships worth an estimated 14 million ISK. After this the war cooled down to a trench-war, and eventually MTC retracted the war declaration. Hostilities between MTC and MAADI ended in the evening of February 19th.

Ma'adim Logistics wants to thank MTC for the opportunity to once again hone our skills in high-sec war. Our newer members are unaminously happy to have recieved valuable lessons in high sec war, while the gritted veterans in our corporation had a chance to try out new tactics in a laid-back manner."

Exactly why I think it shouldn't be a big fuss. Just that we had fun fighting and didn't fall for the extortion attempt.

maybe we indeed did scare them. when i was in inari i had a shot at an interceptor of them. to bad i slacked off a bit due to watching star wars. haha. wel 10 mins later all were in inari watching me. prolly they now just don't know what we are up to and are afraid we hired mercs. since i am in corp just before war-dec. and some more new players if i am not mistaken. just a possibility.
well lot uf us were outside docks scouting and trieing to get them. or just doing their stuff, so they saw we are not afraid anyway.

anyway. wankers. haha

and what now? let them just end it? or are we gonna try to get them tonight? else i would say go mine in inari, let them flip some cans or so and shoot them with stealthers. and idd ofc try to get them in low sec.

War is still running till 23.20ish. So having a pop at them tonight it still something to do.


After that - I'd like to focus on getting newer members JC'd, getting money coming in for them, as well as getting our industry back up to speed until the next war with whomever throws one.  ALso I'll be finding offices in other places and having stashes setup.

Personallhy i think they ended the war becouse the expected a group of newbish miners.

Since we have no real big mining ops in the corp they couldnt hurt us by hampering mining ops.
Also the fight we put up 1st day helped a lot.

If/when we would have had real production/mining a war like this would have hurt a lot. you can ask sin what a prodction/mining crop (so that is excluding individual gains of players) makes a day.
