What are you willing to pay for this information?  

If the price is right, I might rat myself out...

Hmm that creates an interesting situation as the payment is satisfaction reading the battle report, and taking ownership of looted modules / resources.

Perhaps to make things simple, you could just simply blow yourself up, that way you keep the spoils and we all get a nice laugh from the report. What do you think?  


Seeing as thats not possible though We here at IMG have a Stellar Conversion Project underway... Once SirEmi gives the go ahead that Supernova's are possilble you can park your ships in orbit of the mined out planet and relay the scientific data to us as the Supernova occurs, that is until it hits your ship.  

Or I guess you could just line your ships up for me... and we can see how many ships I can hit with a single salvo...

To save space and so we don't start quoting 10+ posts, Im going to skip quoting this time...

Jam, re-read what I posted, Yes I know it is Kerbos with the "OCD" (was just leaving out the name as it has been well discussed on these forums), Wolfdoc is the huge donator. As I said Wolfdoc donates alot and you have a guy that has OCD, two different people. Anyways... Perhaps the cause as to why it is now taking alot more votes to be rewarded by a QP because this situation....

And no Im not a basic IT tech... My line of work is in IT architecture design. Extremely large networks (10k+ nodes) and large data centers (25k+ on-site servers).

--- Technical junk----
Also FYI the basic underlying protocols of the internet work the same all over the world. Yes you can change your mac address easily, but each extra step adds time so we are really pushing it. Change the mac, release IP, get new IP, vote for 5 sites in a 3 second window.

FYI the voting mechanism here doesn't recognize the vote till 1000ms has passed AFTER you clicked on something on the voting page, even with opening a new tab for each of the 5 votes, you now have to click each tab and click something... Don't know how fast your hand is but thats atleast 1-2 seconds. Better we not add-in a unplug / plug back in the router (and router reboot - tons of time). But lets just consider the network cable unplug/replug. That will add time to. Physical movements. OSI level of reacquiring a connection (its not instant). Try this out, unplug the network cable from your router and see how long it takes till the internet works again. 1-3 seconds and thats pretty good. But he was supposed to vote 5x in that time...  Anyways we could argue this matter forever. SirEmi has his reasons why this is ok, and I mostly am ok with them. Higher votes on the sites more players for us, better game for us.

--- End Technical junk----

Great for Wolfdoc donating so much. If I didn't have children and a college fund to worry about I perhaps would donate more... But I  also prefer to spend large amounts of $$ in RL.

Yes we have given you guys credit for banding us together. I will say thank you for that. Even though I was never a victim of piracy I heard the tales. I was lucky enough to be helped out when I started out and avoided the raids. I actually tagged along with the rest of our corp while they moved outta Sol and went deep space. If I didn't happen to be talking to them in Sol chat at the right time I would of missed the boat.

Ah HA, finally the admission of WAR    Anyways yes, its the most exciting thing happening here. Makes the game more fun just as our News Releases and our Shock & Awe opening salvo. Yes that was TOTAL overkill. How else do you start a war? Not with a rock in a sling shot.

Remember also we are miners so the cost of the nukes was free . We earned the resources to make the nukes with mining instead of buying them outright.

As for respect, well its a difference of opinion there. Respect is earned not given. Guess you could call Dadds & I bad cop/good cop. We work well together. I like to write long posts (just as you did) whereas Dadds shoots from the hip. I personally crack up at his sarcasm as well.

I look forward to the activity going forward. I look forward to how this conflict effects the other corps and makes us all more engaged in the game. Its no fun to play if the others aren't playing to.

So, to finish this out as I do need to get some sleep. I await your reply and the engagement it will bring. Happy Hunting to all

Have you been visited by PMI? Do you fear their next "peaceful" visit? Do you believe you shouldn't have to give up your hard earned minerals & gasses to a bunch of blowhards?

If so, IMG and our associate are here to help you.

We accept both anonymous & public reports of their contemptuous(1) attacks.

In game, please message Aysle (#925) or Dadds (#862). All reports will be kept in strict confidence. We and our Pirate hunting corp & non-corp  associates will make our best effort to intercept your attackers.

All intelligence of hunting grounds is also helpful as we can better deploy our collective fleets to intercept the aggressors before they are able to cause further harm. As you know this is a needle in a hay stack situation. Help us make the hay stack smaller.

IMG members will attempt to arrange for any spoils from your intelligence to be acquired by you.

(1) Contempt is a secondary emotion (not among the original six emotions) and is a mix of the primary emotions disgust and anger.
Contempt has been placed on the same continuum as resentment and anger, and is argued that the differences between the three is that resentment is directed toward a higher status individual; anger is directed toward an equal status individual; and contempt is directed toward a lower status individual.

lol right, coming from the group that has at least 2 donators...i believe u..but when ever ur ready...

Small donators, like you know buy VIP, and some officers, buy a titan to jump start.... not on the order of your $1500+ a month buy the farm mentality.

And lets not forget your supposed OCD I click every 3 seconds 18hrs a day guy that apparently has access to hundreds of IPs from home. Seeing as I work in IT, and work with ISPs that just not how it works.... give it a test, release your IP from your cable modem/DSL and reacquire. You have a 99.9% chance of getting the same IP back. Funny how that works...Because ISPs use DHCP to assign IPs and DHCP servers set a lease time for the IP (using your unique MAC address), if you renew your IP before the lease has ended you will most likely get the same one back. And just for fun, if you do totally release the IP. Unless someone happens to request an IP in the instant you have none, you will get the same one back.

But this as this is fair game in the game apperently... don't fret our 2 small guys and small donations.

As I said give me a bit of time, Ill get there...till then your small fries are our gravy when seen. Just as you guys say don't mine in Sol...perhaps you should warn your members the same... Perhaps Pirating in Sol as well for yours Matamaure001's strength and below....

so, if you are going to target me because of the clothes I wear or the friends I have, I have some news for you.  I am a miner (with sharp teeth).  If y'all really want to play, come visit me in sector (quadrant) 2,-2.  I'll be waiting if you let me know when.

Yes, we are going to target you for being a member of a pirating corp. Just as you pirating corp targets all of us miners they can get their hands on.

Care to be a bit more specific? Space is a BIG place...and as much as I enjoyed mining and completing com missions in quadrant 2,-2 its just a massive waste of fuel jumping from system to system hunting for a needle in a hay stack. All those solars are better used upgrading my ship to play with the big boys.

im at Alpha Sigma Draconis come play

Give me a bit of time to outfit my ship and I'll come out to play with you... We aren't dumb enough to take on someone who's ship power exceeds our total power. But we will be there soon with our own shinny ship and we will have earned it instead of bought it with QP.

well you used qp to attack didint you? so you could have just bought modules from sol 6,5k each ...

Yes I did, but still came out ahead $$ wise. And I smacked a pirate that had previously destroyed one of our member's bases.

On a side note, you should know better then to leave that much equipment in sol system when you are offline that long. I scanned you, considered... then attacked. I could of even waited out the entire 4hr count down as you werent back for much longer then that.

I await your pirating as is fair.

Thanks again

-edited to swap pirating for reprisal

Well what a pickle we have here...

As I see it now, there is no option for agreement. We won't take your deal, you won't take our deal. So we only have two options left.

War...not sure what exactly your reasoning is for war but to each their own. As far as I know we got raz that bad mouthed Jam. And me that profited off of Capt Bob (an Advanced Mining Module 9, that was a nice profit argue as you might).

Just as you claim our members are at risk from yours, your "peaceful" pirates are just as at risk from us. And a few of your larger members might be surprised what we can pull out of our arses.

The 2nd option would be a return to business as usual. You guys pirate, we mine & take pirate profits when they drift our way. No KoS's, No agreements about retribution. Just continue playing the way we have up till now. We have our miners life, you have your pirate life.

So, which option would you guys like? Its your final call Jam since our corp are all committed to doing it either way and you were the one with an issue with our stance posting to start this all off.

Good Day All

Well, Im not sure how this was sarcastic, or any of my other posts but ok... you have the freedom to interpret how you choose.

You can ignore Wolfdoc's post. There is no way I will agree to their terms. Wolfdoc I know we are both the leaders here but please just don't send any more replies to their messages. It is pointless. No matter what we say or do one of them will just give us a sarcastic reply. I have tried to be reasonable. Their leader in particular show's people no respect. Just look at how was treating poor norill before norill had even posted on this particular thread.  He never deserved to be treated with as much disrespect as Dadds has shown him. It is clear to me that Dadds head has become inflated since taking the throne.  After all he isn't just disrespecting me or my corp, but he is showing disrespect for others as well.

Dadds let me say this to you. I have been trying to be respectful in all my post. However with each one of your post you seem to grow more arrogant and disrespectful.  I am not the only one who had noticed this as well. I have spoken with other people in other Corps and they agree me on that.  Let me say this about my terms. They were reasonable. They would have benefited us both. I wasn't asking you to bend over and kiss my butt. I wasn't asking you to pay me any sort of resource. I wasn't asking anything as ridiculous as your counter offer. That was just downright disrespectful.  

So here is my final word as I am done talking here. I would like to borrow and modify a quote from a famous group.

We are Pirates. We are Miners. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

Not sure how exactly it was disrespectful for his reply to norill's post about a galactic law... It is just what it is. There is no law especially when pirates are involved. We have our corp law. Only attack pirates unless a non-pirate attacks us first. Heck even sargas agreed with him about this galactic law. You going to put him on the plank for speaking his mind?

As for norill's post in this thread it was unneeded, we have made ourselves clear from the get go. We have OUR stance, its not going to change.

Yes Dadds settlement offer was sarcastic, so what its a game. We didn't actually expect you to agree to it. I think you need to consider how worked up you get over some words on a game.

As for showing you respect. Why exactly? Your a pirate? You came in making your big bad threats, wanted us to change how we play to placate you. Expected us to agree to your "codes" of reprisals. Make someone apologize for some words before we existed.  As others posted destroying stations isn't just pirating... Pirates like to come back and farm ports. Destruction is about subjugation.

My terms above were reasonable. We could both continue on in our ways as we have. You prefer the war option. No skin off our backs. Sure a couple of us donate...not heavily. We like to earn and build what we have. Some may choose to buy their victory, we want to earn ours.

So we will see you in your backyards. We will relieve you of your previous booty from others. We have friends in other corps too. We aren't all that worried about what you guys think of us.

See you in my sights shortly.

Good Day

It was a juicy target from a pirate.... Thanks for the mods... took me awhile to pick all that up. Sorry about the station, I powered down as much as I could but as it was only a Class I station was unavoidable.

Well what a pickle we have here...

As I see it now, there is no option for agreement. We won't take your deal, you won't take our deal. So we only have two options left.

War...not sure what exactly your reasoning is for war but to each their own. As far as I know we got raz that bad mouthed Jam. And me that profited off of Capt Bob (an Advanced Mining Module 9, that was a nice profit argue as you might).

Well, as I stated before the stance of our alliance is simple. We are miners by trade but more then capable of defending ourselves.

We don't hunt pirates, but if we come across a pirate in our travels we are free to take the opportunity for some extra profit. Just as I did recently with Capt Bob (he was kind enough to leave behind a Adv Miner Mk IX for me). We leave all non-pirating alliances alone.

We will continue on with this. These are the rules in our alliance and we aren't going to change them just because some pirates dictate it isn't ok to attack a pirate. Seems you guys want the cake and to eat it to. You can't be a pirate and not expect others to eventually attack you in the fashion that you live by.

Perhaps most of you are. However you do have one member that I will attack and destroy on site. It is a little newbie called Razgr1z. As many people know, it is not uncommon for me to hit people in the Sol System. Usually it is for profit. But sometimes I like to clear out stations that have defenses on them  as well in that area. Hell I do that in the 0,0 area period. Just Sol more periodically.  Some hate me for this. Some become farms. Some learn from their mistakes and my attacks and become better players.  Razgr1z when he was in the Sol Corp, I cleared out one of his stations and what was on the surface of the moon. The next day looted one of his mines.  After that I received some messages from him.  I will go ahead and show you for yourself. All I can say from these messages though is that I am glad he isn't in our Corp and I can't imagine NHC would ever take him either.  Also note I tried sending a message after his last reply there at the bottom but I discovered that after I tried to send it he had put me on his ignore list.

Well... first he was in SOL corp then.. so by gones are by gones.

But then again, declared pirates are targets of opportunity for us miners in IMG.

Your big bad, go kill the little stations and undefended miners... scary you. Great job. Bet that makes you feel great....

We in IMG are not only miners, but we can also defend ourselves. I would go hunt you, but you wouldnt be worth the $$ or the effort...Perhaps if you show up during one of my jumps I'll show you what a miner can do. You can take your pirating big bad "scary" crew and watch them be blown away.

Good Day to you... catch you on another day
