- [03/11/2015 13:44:53] *** gobbins would like to add you on Skype
- Hi Sapporo Jones, I'd like to add you as a contact. ***
- [03/11/2015 15:08:35] *** Sapporo Jones has shared contact details with gobbins. ***
- [03/11/2015 15:08:57] Sapporo Jones: my keyboad died earlier and i am using a temp until tomororw
- [03/11/2015 15:09:05] Sapporo Jones: sorry for the delay and spelling errors
- [03/11/2015 15:09:09] Sapporo Jones: this keyboard is awful
- [03/11/2015 15:15:39] gobbins: God bless
- [03/11/2015 15:15:59] Sapporo Jones: yes may the lord bless you and keep you
- [03/11/2015 15:16:24] gobbins: DHD sang me the take of a CR showdown
- [03/11/2015 15:16:35] Sapporo Jones: so here's the plan
- [03/11/2015 15:16:37] Sapporo Jones: actually
- [03/11/2015 15:16:40] Sapporo Jones: can you mambles?
- [03/11/2015 15:16:47] Sapporo Jones: cause I am on a temp keyboard and this thing sucks
- [03/11/2015 15:16:50] gobbins: I just went to work
- [03/11/2015 15:16:54] Sapporo Jones: crap
- [03/11/2015 15:16:55] Sapporo Jones: ok
- [03/11/2015 15:16:58] Sapporo Jones: nbd
- [03/11/2015 15:17:01] Sapporo Jones: so
- [03/11/2015 15:17:12] gobbins: Type slowly and we can talk tomorrow if u want
- [03/11/2015 15:17:13] Sapporo Jones: we are planning a fountain war reunion tour
- [03/11/2015 15:17:42] Sapporo Jones: what we want to do is to basically reform N3ST and fight cfc over cloud ring
- [03/11/2015 15:18:10] Sapporo Jones: cfc will announce tomorrow, is my understanding, that the reunion war is content ring based and will take place the 12th through the 15th
- [03/11/2015 15:18:20] Sapporo Jones: we will be fighting over tcus in cloud ring
- [03/11/2015 15:18:31] Sapporo Jones: possible ihubs depending but I would rather keep it to tcus
- [03/11/2015 15:18:36] Sapporo Jones: and just do a big push
- [03/11/2015 15:19:01] Sapporo Jones: on our side will be just like it was, test/pl/n3(whats left)/horde
- [03/11/2015 15:19:12] Sapporo Jones: and on their side will of course be cfc
- [03/11/2015 15:19:37] Sapporo Jones: it's a shadoo style wargame for control of content ring
- [03/11/2015 15:19:43] Sapporo Jones: a fountain war reunion tour
- [03/11/2015 15:20:29] Sapporo Jones: with any luck it will attract attention to the new book
- [03/11/2015 15:20:30] Sapporo Jones: but
- [03/11/2015 15:20:56] Sapporo Jones: even if it doesnt it is an interesting experiment given where all of ys are at now relative to where we were at during the fountain war
- [03/11/2015 15:21:35] Sapporo Jones: my uinderstanding is that durr talked to you about us moving out there in preperation for this
- [03/11/2015 15:21:43] Sapporo Jones: again sorry about the keyboard and potential errors
- [03/11/2015 15:21:56] Sapporo Jones: but that we want to deploy the alliance prior to the start date
- [03/11/2015 15:22:11] Sapporo Jones: and get anyone and everyone we can ready and in place prior to the 12th
- [03/11/2015 15:22:28] gobbins: I heard it from durr first and that was after I contacted him about wh s
- [03/11/2015 15:22:36] Sapporo Jones: ah
- [03/11/2015 15:22:51] gobbins: Are you sure the rest of the players are down with this?
- [03/11/2015 15:23:21] gobbins: PL just left and I very much doubt they are interested in coming back given how badly they cried
- [03/11/2015 15:23:50] gobbins: Like who made this plan so far
- [03/11/2015 15:23:54] Sapporo Jones: I'm not. mittens said he would talk to vince, I plan to talk to some ncdotte dudes irl tomorrow about it and have them talk to vince
- [03/11/2015 15:24:00] Sapporo Jones: well
- [03/11/2015 15:24:18] Sapporo Jones: mittens is planning to talk to grath and elise from the pl side, and vince if he can
- [03/11/2015 15:24:32] Sapporo Jones: if he can't I am getting ahold of every ncdotte i can to talk to ncdotte leadership
- [03/11/2015 15:24:38] Sapporo Jones: and get the reunion band back together
- [03/11/2015 15:25:39] Sapporo Jones: topmorrow I am meeting with some evol dudes irl to get the ball rolling
- [03/11/2015 15:25:45] Sapporo Jones: cause I can't reach ncdotte nerds in game
- [03/11/2015 15:25:49] Sapporo Jones: vOv
- [03/11/2015 15:26:25] gobbins: He really wants to sell that book direct he holy shiy
- [03/11/2015 15:26:35] Sapporo Jones: I do too
- [03/11/2015 15:26:40] Sapporo Jones: if we do it right
- [03/11/2015 15:26:45] Sapporo Jones: it can actually draw people to this game
- [03/11/2015 15:26:55] Sapporo Jones: in ways that spaceship slap fight youtube videos cant
- [03/11/2015 15:27:05] Sapporo Jones: but even if you take the book out of it
- [03/11/2015 15:27:06] gobbins: Yes and money to pockets sapporo
- [03/11/2015 15:27:11] gobbins: Not my pockets though
- [03/11/2015 15:27:13] Sapporo Jones: a 2015 version of the fountain war
- [03/11/2015 15:27:19] Sapporo Jones: in cloud ring
- [03/11/2015 15:27:22] Sapporo Jones: sounds dank as hell
- [03/11/2015 15:27:39] Sapporo Jones: no I mean
- [03/11/2015 15:27:44] Sapporo Jones: I don't profit off htis
- [03/11/2015 15:27:56] Sapporo Jones: but it has potential to attract new players to the game
- [03/11/2015 15:27:59] Sapporo Jones: and we need that in the game
- [03/11/2015 15:28:07] Sapporo Jones: well
- [03/11/2015 15:28:27] Sapporo Jones: new players that go to horde or karma or dreddit and don't just attrition out in brave
- [03/11/2015 15:28:41] Sapporo Jones: so this kind of shit is beneficial to all of us
- [03/11/2015 15:28:45] Sapporo Jones: but more to the point
- [03/11/2015 15:29:04] Sapporo Jones: a shadoo style war game involving the fountain war players in a 2.0 version of the fountain war
- [03/11/2015 15:29:09] Sapporo Jones: holy fuck that's compelling as fuck
- [03/11/2015 15:29:23] Sapporo Jones: and nullsec is dead right now
- [03/11/2015 15:29:30] Sapporo Jones: there's nowhere that is exciting
- [03/11/2015 15:29:37] Sapporo Jones: shit's just tits as shit
- [03/11/2015 15:29:56] Sapporo Jones: and if we do a fountain reunion war we make real content people want to take part in
- [03/11/2015 15:30:08] gobbins: What y mean attrition in brave
- [03/11/2015 15:30:30] Sapporo Jones: I mean the problem with brave is people joining and then quitting the game
- [03/11/2015 15:30:37] Sapporo Jones: rather than joining and then leaving for other places
- [03/11/2015 15:30:54] Sapporo Jones: like 'churn' is ok for the game, attirition is not
- [03/11/2015 15:31:17] gobbins: I think that problem has been solved several months ago
- [03/11/2015 15:31:45 | Edited 15:34:07] gobbins: Brave *does not get that many new players these days
- [03/11/2015 15:31:50] Sapporo Jones: horde/karma/b0rt tend to churn
- [03/11/2015 15:31:56] Sapporo Jones: and everyone benefits from it
- [03/11/2015 15:32:03] Sapporo Jones: rather than players attriting out
- [03/11/2015 15:32:08] Sapporo Jones: and nobody benefitting
- [03/11/2015 15:32:50] Sapporo Jones: meh
- [03/11/2015 15:32:57] Sapporo Jones: brave is doing brave things
- [03/11/2015 15:33:08] Sapporo Jones: but we have an opportunity here to create a hell of a war game
- [03/11/2015 15:33:16] Sapporo Jones: and we should take it imho
- [03/11/2015 15:33:47] Sapporo Jones: hell I'm so committed to this that I am about to have my alliance that is still licking its wounds after all of our shit to move across the map and be a part of something big
- [03/11/2015 15:34:00] Sapporo Jones: I really think there is a lot of fun and potential in this wargame
- [03/11/2015 15:34:12] Sapporo Jones: and that it will be something we will all benefit from
- [03/11/2015 15:34:15] gobbins: Edited
- [03/11/2015 15:34:22] Sapporo Jones: ?
- [03/11/2015 15:36:53] Sapporo Jones: oh i see the thing about brave
- [03/11/2015 15:37:18] Sapporo Jones: no not now but ccp still mentions them frequently etc etc
- [03/11/2015 15:37:20] Sapporo Jones: anyways
- [03/11/2015 15:37:31] Sapporo Jones: how are you feelin about this
- [03/11/2015 15:38:19] gobbins: I find it very unlikely that PL will join
- [03/11/2015 15:38:38] Sapporo Jones: for fountain war 2.0?
- [03/11/2015 15:38:54] Sapporo Jones: their line members tell me they have little if anything to do right now
- [03/11/2015 15:38:54] gobbins: Yeh
- [03/11/2015 15:39:32] gobbins: Line members don't matter for shit in PL it's the fcs
- [03/11/2015 15:40:00] gobbins: Sapoo u realized PL deployed to cr maybe 3 weeks ago
- [03/11/2015 15:40:09] gobbins: And left in a hurry?
- [03/11/2015 15:40:26] Sapporo Jones: ?
- [03/11/2015 15:40:46 | Edited 15:50:38] gobbins: I'm the one who organized it and promoted the last CR deployment to the FCs
- [03/11/2015 15:41:00] gobbins: It lasted less than 2 weeks
- [03/11/2015 15:42:26] Sapporo Jones: what is pl doing right now
- [03/11/2015 15:44:57] gobbins: Nothing
- [03/11/2015 15:48:50] Sapporo Jones: fair enough
- [03/11/2015 15:50:48] gobbins: Man fucking auto correct
- [03/11/2015 15:50:55] gobbins: I edited the thing above
- [03/11/2015 15:52:10 | Edited 15:53:07] gobbins: Grath doesn't really play or FC ATM. If you and mittani want this to happen you need to talk to the active fcs
- [03/11/2015 15:52:39] gobbins: Ron mexico, kilkahbee, Farasoloni, penifsmash
- [03/11/2015 15:52:43] gobbins: And Elise ofc
- [03/11/2015 15:56:02] Sapporo Jones: yeah that makes sense
- [03/11/2015 15:56:22] Sapporo Jones: what if we move up there and just fight with you guys for fun shit
- [03/11/2015 15:56:37] gobbins: Yeah man ofc
- [03/11/2015 15:56:45] Sapporo Jones: ilu
- [03/11/2015 15:56:53] gobbins: That's what I told dhd
- [03/11/2015 15:57:15 | Edited 15:57:24] gobbins: Rather than setting blu and working on some kind of campaign
- [03/11/2015 15:58:02] Sapporo Jones: tbh I would rather set blue standings and just work with you to take horde cloud ring
- [03/11/2015 15:58:11] Sapporo Jones: well not seriously taking it but like fighting with you
- [03/11/2015 15:58:14] Sapporo Jones: to take shit there
- [03/11/2015 15:58:25] gobbins: There's tons of fighting in the area. In fact W-4 is the only null sec system on zkills kills per week list
- [03/11/2015 15:58:35] Sapporo Jones: and like lets honeydick the region
- [03/11/2015 15:58:44] gobbins: It's not like the old ge- but getting there slowly
- [03/11/2015 15:59:06] gobbins: Thing is
- [03/11/2015 15:59:14] gobbins: I like the region how it is
- [03/11/2015 15:59:26] gobbins: I'm not in a hurry to take it if at all
- [03/11/2015 15:59:36] gobbins: See what I mean?
- [03/11/2015 15:59:53] gobbins: I don't need space I need (more) content
- [03/11/2015 16:00:28] gobbins: But having said that we can temp blue for big brawls vs goons
- [03/11/2015 16:00:39] gobbins: That's what we are doing with NC and TISHU atm
- [03/11/2015 16:00:55] gobbins: And it's awesome
- [03/11/2015 16:01:54] Sapporo Jones: I mean we can temp blue that's totes cool
- [03/11/2015 16:02:10] Sapporo Jones: but we would rather just be blue to you and just fight things together
- [03/11/2015 16:02:52] Sapporo Jones: in addition without moving a titan or super up there we lack a certain level of mobility
- [03/11/2015 16:03:10] Sapporo Jones: but just in general
- [03/11/2015 16:03:19] Sapporo Jones: it would be dank as hell to be blue to you and just fight over shit together
- [03/11/2015 16:03:32] gobbins: OK then give me a detailed plan
- [03/11/2015 16:04:23] gobbins: Blu can be done but I need to know what you guys plan to do, where to stage, for how long, what doctrine u wanna fly ecc that shit
- [03/11/2015 16:06:39] Sapporo Jones: ok so basically we want to stage in w-4n with you. the idea is generally to spend officially a weekend but possibly longer depending on how things go staging with you and adding numbers and ships to your ops. we want to shit on the same things that you do and we want to fight the same things you do, we very likely fly similar enough doctrines that this could work fairly seemlessly and effortlessly
- [03/11/2015 16:07:35] Sapporo Jones: officially a weekend means getting standings set up early so we can move shit or seed shit we need early because test is fucking slow as shit to move, so the easier we can make that move the faster test is ready to go
- [03/11/2015 16:07:58] gobbins: For seeding do you guys have your own market duders? Cuz we're kinda stretched atm
- [03/11/2015 16:08:14] Sapporo Jones: yeah we would seed our own shit not a problem
- [03/11/2015 16:08:39] gobbins: When would you plan to move in?
- [03/11/2015 16:10:07] Sapporo Jones: as soon as possible
- [03/11/2015 16:11:08] gobbins: I'll explain this to waffles, be fr and the other horde dirs. If everyone is cool then we can do it.
- [03/11/2015 16:11:40] gobbins: What I anticipate though
- [03/11/2015 16:12:30 | Edited 16:12:48] gobbins: Is ppl asking why you don't just stage in low sec and temp blue for big fights, then later perma blue if the partnership works really well
- [03/11/2015 16:14:35] Sapporo Jones: I mean basically we can stage out of lowsec if it comes to it, but it seems like it would be easier for us to throw numbers at a strat op if we were staged with you and in addition we want to work more closely with you and that is more difficult to accomplish when staging apart from you
- [03/11/2015 16:15:53] Sapporo Jones: there is a lot to do and fight and accomplish in cloud ring, and we think that it would be better to do with you on a regular blue basis for the duration of our time in cloud ring
- [03/11/2015 16:17:39] gobbins: So how long you plan to deploy in CR then
- [03/11/2015 16:18:41] Sapporo Jones: prolly just a few weeks to start, if it lasts longer for whatever reason than thats fine but for now this seems like a 2 to 2.5 week thing
- [03/11/2015 16:18:48] Sapporo Jones: counting today
- [03/11/2015 16:22:41] gobbins: This is a strange conversation you are basically offering help we don't ask, for strat opses that don't exist
- [03/11/2015 16:23:12] gobbins: Horde already had the spaces it needs in cr and the rest is just good fights
- [03/11/2015 16:23:54] gobbins: You can enjoy all this without being blu. And I mean for your own ppl that would be better too
- [03/11/2015 16:23:59] gobbins: Lot more content
- [03/11/2015 16:24:25] gobbins: To work closely together require a lot of steps
- [03/11/2015 16:25:15] gobbins: Like firstly convincing the other allies to blue u, especially waffles
- [03/11/2015 16:25:55] gobbins: Then getting your guys on the horde comms/sub forum to see ops
- [03/11/2015 16:26:41 | Edited 16:26:50] gobbins: And lastly dealing with all the little issues when 2 big groups share a staging
- [03/11/2015 16:27:10 | Edited 16:27:24] gobbins: All of this for 2 weeks worth of deployment?
- [03/11/2015 16:32:30] Sapporo Jones: I'm ashamed to ask this but my keyboard died earlier tonight and I am using a really cheap replacement usb keyboard that is cancer to type on, would it be acceptable to hit you up later about this?
- [03/11/2015 16:36:20] gobbins: Sure m8 no worries
- [03/11/2015 16:36:45] Sapporo Jones: outstanding thank you very much
- [03/11/2015 16:37:34] gobbins: BTW before you do
- [03/11/2015 16:37:59] gobbins: What did you discuss with mittani so far?
- [03/11/2015 16:38:19] Sapporo Jones: just the concept of a shadoo style war game
- [03/11/2015 16:38:50] gobbins: OK did you tell him to talk to those PL guys?
- [03/11/2015 16:39:03] gobbins: Or is he already?
- [03/11/2015 16:39:28] Sapporo Jones: I did not tell him to do anything, I believe he said he may talk to them to see if they are interested in it
- [03/11/2015 16:39:43] gobbins: Ok rgr
- [03/11/2015 22:02:38] gobbins: im home if u wanna mumble
- [03/11/2015 22:02:49] gobbins: I guess ur sleeperino
- [05/11/2015 00:09:11] gobbins: are you awake?
- [05/11/2015 02:15:10] gobbins: buncha duders wanna move to CR and raise hell
- [05/11/2015 02:15:20] gobbins: we shud talk to mittani
- [05/11/2015 08:08:53] Sapporo Jones: ya this should be a bunch of fun
- [05/11/2015 08:09:05] Sapporo Jones: sounds like grath is down, I'm gonna be hitting up vince as soon as I can
- [05/11/2015 09:13:08] gobbins: Did you not read what I typed the other day
- [05/11/2015 09:13:30] Sapporo Jones: which part
- [05/11/2015 09:13:30] gobbins: Grath doesn't really play atm
- [05/11/2015 09:13:37] Sapporo Jones: sorry it's been a busy few days
- [05/11/2015 09:13:51] Sapporo Jones: oh ok, sorry I heard from the mittani that grath was interested in participating
- [05/11/2015 09:14:20] Sapporo Jones: regardless, getting the band back together for a weekend reunion should be a really fun time
- [05/11/2015 09:26:18] gobbins: I have a feeling neither you or the mittani understand how PL work
- [05/11/2015 09:26:48] gobbins: If you want my help add me to the chat with mittani and I'll see what I can do
- [09/11/2015 22:00:56] gobbins: are you still up for a mondo brawl in CR?
- [09/11/2015 22:01:10] gobbins: I wanna talk to mittani I got something which might be interesting for everyone
- [12/11/2015 01:36:33] gobbins: so it took some doing but I managed to get a response by elise, vince and the goon diplos
- [12/11/2015 01:37:15] gobbins: the first 2 didnt even know about the plan and goons didn't confirm the part abou horde
- [12/11/2015 01:37:48] gobbins: Neither elise or vince were contacted
- [12/11/2015 01:38:04] gobbins: And the stuff you meantioned about bluing horde and fighting in CR didnt check out with goons
- [12/11/2015 01:38:26] gobbins: So it seems you bullshitted me Sapporo, I dont really appreciate that
- [12/11/2015 03:19:12] Sapporo Jones: As far as I know mittens was going to announce that the State of the Union address, as far as I know Elise hasn't been contacted and neither has Vince.
- [12/11/2015 03:19:48] Sapporo Jones: We decided to punt a week because of the fall out 4 launch
- [12/11/2015 03:30:27] gobbins: And the stuff you meantioned about bluing horde and fighting in CR didnt check out with goons
- [12/11/2015 03:30:32] gobbins: what about this part
- [12/11/2015 03:39:13] gobbins: I mean you asked me to blu up test and let you guys stage in w-4. You insisted we do this even after I suggested we just stay neutral and brawl is that right or did I imagine this?
- [12/11/2015 03:40:16] Sapporo Jones: I absolutely did try to get you to set us blue for this and i still think it's a good idea
- [12/11/2015 03:40:58] Sapporo Jones: Also mittani hasn't announced yet so I don't know who in goons knows and who doesn't.
- [12/11/2015 03:42:53] gobbins: There's also a bunch of [NOG8S] guys sitting in w-4 all day in garmurs picking on newbeans and talking shit in local:
- [16:36:05] Crixik > Your mentor is either shit, or you're just a lost cause
- [16:36:37] Crixik > Hey Horde, he's one of you )))
- [16:36:42] Crixik > I hope you are proud
- [18:16:45] Eren Akiga > when will you transfer sov to us? apparently this is ours now.
- [12/11/2015 03:44:23] gobbins: Personally I dont mind but if the plan is to work together its gonna be a lot harder to sell it to the memberbase when all they see is smacktalk from test
- [12/11/2015 03:46:27] gobbins: im off to bed, peace
- [16/11/2015 14:51:40] gobbins: So lelob says you guys wanna deploy?
- [16/11/2015 14:51:51] gobbins: Is it the book promotion thing?
- [16/11/2015 14:52:19] Sapporo Jones: yeah sounds like the wargame will start this week
- [16/11/2015 14:52:34] Sapporo Jones: I still gotta find a campaign commander for PL and chat with vince
- [16/11/2015 14:52:50] Sapporo Jones: mittani was talking with laz and grath yesterday so grath may already be looking for one
- [16/11/2015 14:52:52] Sapporo Jones: idk yet
- [16/11/2015 14:55:55] Sapporo Jones: I'm not sure what date he was looking at to kick it off since we punted but I would guess thursday
- [16/11/2015 14:56:55] gobbins: You remember what I told u about Grath?
- [16/11/2015 14:57:10] Sapporo Jones: fair enough I will start poking around to find one
- [16/11/2015 14:57:26] Sapporo Jones: do you have any idea who would make a good point of contact or are you able to help me close with someone?
- [16/11/2015 14:58:33] gobbins: I mean if this brings Grath back it'd be great
- [16/11/2015 14:58:45] gobbins: Otherwise try penif
- [16/11/2015 14:59:12] Sapporo Jones: is penif on skype or should I try to contact him in game
- [16/11/2015 14:59:17] Sapporo Jones: and also what tz is he
- [16/11/2015 14:59:34] gobbins: Us
- [16/11/2015 14:59:42] Sapporo Jones: cool
- [16/11/2015 14:59:51] gobbins: Penifsmash
- [16/11/2015 15:00:57] Sapporo Jones: if I search for penifsmash in skype I see two
- [16/11/2015 15:01:00] Sapporo Jones: which one is his
- [16/11/2015 15:02:41] Sapporo Jones: http://i.imgur.com/bCXYW5r.png
- [16/11/2015 15:04:20] gobbins: The goku one
- [16/11/2015 15:04:30] Sapporo Jones: rgr
- [16/11/2015 15:19:32] gobbins: Did he respond?
- [16/11/2015 15:19:50] Sapporo Jones: no
- [16/11/2015 15:20:39] gobbins: Did u read this http://evenews24.com/2015/11/15/imperium-ordered-to-prepare-for-war/
- [16/11/2015 15:21:08] gobbins: It literally says 'not a wargame'
- [16/11/2015 15:21:43] gobbins: Are you sure mittens isn't just luring test out of your home?
- [16/11/2015 15:22:13] Sapporo Jones: well that's certainly not outside the realm of possibility
- [16/11/2015 15:22:41] gobbins: What do you make of that link
- [16/11/2015 15:23:23] Sapporo Jones: I can't tell if he's just trying to hype nerds up for something that he will just position as a wargame later
- [16/11/2015 15:23:31] Sapporo Jones: or if something changed and suddenly it's a cloud ring purge
- [16/11/2015 15:23:55] gobbins: When did you last speak to him
- [16/11/2015 15:24:10] Sapporo Jones: normally I would read that and expect the hammer coming to us but intel indicates reavers are recalling
- [16/11/2015 15:28:59] gobbins: So when did you last speak to him
- [16/11/2015 15:29:36] Sapporo Jones: saturday
- [16/11/2015 15:29:40] Sapporo Jones: so yesterday
- [16/11/2015 15:29:55] gobbins: That's odd
- [16/11/2015 15:30:19] gobbins: Can u link what he said to make u think he wants a wargame?
- [16/11/2015 15:30:32 | Edited 15:31:00] gobbins: Cuz it's very far from his announcement
- [16/11/2015 15:34:36] Sapporo Jones: [11/14/2015 3:06:26 PM] TheMittani: Hey dude, any ideas about the Reunion War concept? Grath and Laz suggested we consider some fun restrictions in terms of doctrines etc so it's not just another t3 shitshow
- [11/14/2015 3:36:37 PM] Sapporo Jones: that's a really kick ass idea actually I hadn't even considered
- [11/14/2015 3:37:00 PM] Sapporo Jones: yeah keeping it to fun stuff will really get people hype about it not being just an ever evolving escalation
- [11/14/2015 4:26:39 PM] TheMittani: Have any ideas about ground rules? We can announce it tomorrow or something but sort out rules/find participants over the week, initial idea is just to see who can capture the most of CR starting from zilch by the end of X period
- [12:12:44 AM] Sapporo Jones: we would really prefer to not have to fight supercapitals, but to be fair PL may want to bring supercapitals so we respectfully defer to the wider group of participants
- [12:13:22 AM] Sapporo Jones: other than that we see nothing to try to "ban" from the wargame
- [12:14:22 AM] Sapporo Jones: sorry for the late reply, was watching the debate with nerds, and compiling and responding to hc nerds with ideas for bans that were dumb
- [12:14:35 AM] Sapporo Jones: well and drinking fits in there somewhere
- [16/11/2015 15:35:47] Sapporo Jones: so prolly agitprop to get them spun up about what they plan to do after the shindig
- [16/11/2015 15:36:02] gobbins: He seemed honest, was there more?
- [16/11/2015 15:37:06] Sapporo Jones: that was the entire conversation we had yesterday
- [16/11/2015 15:37:15] Sapporo Jones: like I said I think he was talking to laz and grath at the same time
- [16/11/2015 15:38:35] gobbins: Cool then could you ask him what's up with the ping and why his announcement says not a wargame?
- [16/11/2015 15:49:32] gobbins: Sappo?
- [17/11/2015 07:38:37] gobbins: sapppooo
- [17/11/2015 07:38:40] gobbins: did u ask mittens?
- [17/11/2015 07:41:01] Sapporo Jones: no I'll ask but I'm sure the answer will be the same that it's a wargame
- [17/11/2015 07:41:17] Sapporo Jones: I hit up ron mexxxico last night and am waiting to hear back from him in getting a campaign commander setup
- [17/11/2015 07:41:17] gobbins: yeah plz ask him cuz this is contradicting
- [17/11/2015 07:41:30] Sapporo Jones: also am chatting up vince draken to see about getting ncdotte involved
- [17/11/2015 07:41:40] gobbins: did u talk to penif? I spoke to penif and he seemed down
- [17/11/2015 07:41:42] Sapporo Jones: my understanding is their line aren't thrilled about the geminate thing
- [17/11/2015 07:41:50] Sapporo Jones: yeah he hit me up early this morning but I was asleep
- [17/11/2015 07:41:51] gobbins: geminate ?
- [17/11/2015 07:41:55] gobbins: kk
- [17/11/2015 07:42:00] Sapporo Jones: yeah ncdotte is moving to geminate last I heard
- [17/11/2015 07:42:11] Sapporo Jones: most of their nerds are unhappy about it
- [17/11/2015 07:42:21] Sapporo Jones: we have a bunch of dudes in test with dual citizenship
- [17/11/2015 07:42:48] Sapporo Jones: so hopefully I can jump in and get them involved before they get too far involved in their plans
- [17/11/2015 07:43:04] Sapporo Jones: aside from PL and NCdotte can you think of anyone I should chat up to get involved or anyone you would like to see involved?
- [17/11/2015 07:44:22] gobbins: brb 5 mins sry
- [17/11/2015 07:44:28] Sapporo Jones: ya no worries
- [17/11/2015 07:58:27] gobbins: ok im back
- [17/11/2015 07:58:58] gobbins: I have some ideas but first I wanna know the people arent just getting trolled lol
- [17/11/2015 07:59:11] Sapporo Jones: honestly, it's a coin flip
- [17/11/2015 07:59:24] Sapporo Jones: I don't know if mittani would tell me if this was all a ruse
- [17/11/2015 07:59:33] Sapporo Jones: he and I don't know each other well enough
- [17/11/2015 07:59:46] Sapporo Jones: all I know is it sounds like he wants to position this to help the kickstarter and do a fun thing
- [17/11/2015 07:59:51] Sapporo Jones: but the kickstarter ain't doing well
- [17/11/2015 07:59:56] Sapporo Jones: so it could be a ruse idk
- [17/11/2015 08:00:05] Sapporo Jones: on the offchance that it's a ruse, I'm reaching out to FUCKING EVERYONE
- [17/11/2015 08:00:09] Sapporo Jones: in defense of cloud ring
- [17/11/2015 08:02:00] gobbins: all I am saying is
- [17/11/2015 08:02:12] gobbins: I would really appreciate if before I try to ask in favors to bring people in
- [17/11/2015 08:02:25] gobbins: you confront Mittani about the disparity between what he is telling you
- [17/11/2015 08:02:35] gobbins: and the loud announcement to his 40k coalition
- [17/11/2015 08:02:52] gobbins: can you do that please? I would imagine mittani is awake at this time
- [17/11/2015 08:04:52] Sapporo Jones: sure thing
- [17/11/2015 08:05:12] Sapporo Jones: though, to be fair, I'm a bring an umbrella and hope for sun type of guy
- [17/11/2015 08:05:28] Sapporo Jones: so I am just gonna prepare and do THE FULL MONTOLIO and hit up FUCKING EVERYONE to dog pile in on our side
- [17/11/2015 08:05:45] Sapporo Jones: regardless of the answer we are gonna need all the dudes to pull this off
- [17/11/2015 08:07:13] gobbins: I agree
- [17/11/2015 08:08:36] gobbins: while at it, if mittani isnt responding could you ask Laz opinion as well since he is normally a less manipulative fella?
- [17/11/2015 08:15:19] gobbins: any luck?
- [17/11/2015 08:32:28] gobbins: I gotta go to work soon did you get an answer from anyone? incl PL/NC ecc
- [17/11/2015 08:56:23] Sapporo Jones: I rounded up a PL campaign commander, still waiting on word from vince
- [17/11/2015 08:56:45] Sapporo Jones: heard back from the mittani, it sounds like the wargame is off and cloud ring is a real target now
- [17/11/2015 08:58:03] gobbins: nice! who is the PL campaign cmdr?
- [17/11/2015 08:58:48] Sapporo Jones: penifSMASH
- [17/11/2015 08:59:21] Sapporo Jones: my understanding from test intel is that the CFC staged supers last night somewhere nearby cloud ring in preperation to attempt to glass the region for reals
- [17/11/2015 09:00:55] gobbins: so the wargame is off right?
- [17/11/2015 09:01:00] Sapporo Jones: sounds like it yes
- [17/11/2015 09:01:05] gobbins: then what is the point of talking to penif?
- [17/11/2015 09:01:10] Sapporo Jones: I haven't
- [17/11/2015 09:01:21] Sapporo Jones: I got him rounded up as a campaign commander before I found out that the game was off
- [17/11/2015 09:01:50] gobbins: what made him change his mind?
- [17/11/2015 09:02:01] gobbins: has he given up on the kickstarter thing?
- [17/11/2015 09:07:53] Sapporo Jones: I honestly don't know but I have my suspicions that the CR thing has to do with rumors of people he heard you may be working with, and the lowsec thing I hear a rumor is about TISHU
- [17/11/2015 09:08:00] Sapporo Jones: I'll keep digging in to things
- [17/11/2015 09:08:21] gobbins: is he that butthurt about the kickstarter?
- [17/11/2015 09:08:49] gobbins: I mean dirty dan's posting
- [17/11/2015 09:08:53] Sapporo Jones: I don't think it's about the kickstarter, I think it's more to do with how people acted when they decided not to support it. but again, I don't honestly know this is just what we suspect
- [17/11/2015 09:26:24] gobbins: what about test, still planning to move down?
- [17/11/2015 12:01:03] Sapporo Jones: no, we wouldn't get numbers, and I don't think we would be able to provide adequate assistance in the manner that your other allies would be able to
- [17/11/2015 12:08:22 | Edited 12:08:31] gobbins: How so? I thought you wanted to be a part of this coalition?
- [17/11/2015 12:13:42] Sapporo Jones: for a war game yes, but against the cfc in full on sledgehammer mode there isn't much we can offer you
- [17/11/2015 12:19:06] gobbins: Everything helps. Is this conversation opsec sappo?
- [17/11/2015 12:19:20] Sapporo Jones: yessir
- [17/11/2015 12:20:15] gobbins: What if I told you there is a large coalition forming to shut down goons in CR and push them back?
- [17/11/2015 12:21:22] Sapporo Jones: I feel like you would need to push them back beyond cr and either install allies in the buffer space or have diplomatic agreements with the cfc to hold the space if you got that far. not to say you can't do it, if PL commits to it in full and gets allies it's possible, it just seems like without a full commit from power blocs it's a tough thing to do
- [17/11/2015 12:21:36] Sapporo Jones: like it looks like CR is practically bordered on all sides by cfc
- [17/11/2015 12:21:37] Sapporo Jones: or it's allies
- [17/11/2015 12:22:05] Sapporo Jones: so I would think you would need buffer space between you two in order to hold it for longer term, and agreements in place to sustain
- [17/11/2015 12:22:26] Sapporo Jones: or this would need to be the military offensive where everyone galvanizes finally and pushes the CFC out of everything entirely
- [17/11/2015 12:22:31] Sapporo Jones: which
- [17/11/2015 12:22:33] Sapporo Jones: tbh
- [17/11/2015 12:22:45] Sapporo Jones: if you have full pl support in such an engagement sounds entertaining as fuck
- [17/11/2015 12:22:59] Sapporo Jones: but that is not going to be an easy war, especially with the ihub changes
- [17/11/2015 12:23:13] gobbins: What changes
- [17/11/2015 12:23:26] Sapporo Jones: being able to offline/online ihub upgrades at will
- [17/11/2015 12:23:44] gobbins: How's that a big deal?
- [17/11/2015 12:23:50] Sapporo Jones: the cfc used to do wartime/peacetime ihub packages in space and would just swap onlined ihubs as needed
- [17/11/2015 12:24:03] Sapporo Jones: well it significantly reduces the maintenance cost of sov until you need it to do something that costs
- [17/11/2015 12:24:20] Sapporo Jones: and enables them to rapidly change the purpose of specific systems at will
- [17/11/2015 12:24:42] gobbins: CFC is hardly strapped for cash
- [17/11/2015 12:25:00] Sapporo Jones: I don't think they have as much as we all like to think, but I also don't think they are poor sure
- [17/11/2015 12:25:12] Sapporo Jones: war is expensive, and cfc doesn't fly cheap shit
- [17/11/2015 12:25:18] Sapporo Jones: they also do a ton of srp
- [17/11/2015 12:25:29] Sapporo Jones: so a sustained engagement is really costly
- [17/11/2015 12:26:09] gobbins: Nobody is gonna like it if we start this and then test bandwagons in after its already rolling
- [17/11/2015 12:26:41] gobbins: Is not like you have to commit caps but even some small fleets help
- [17/11/2015 12:27:25] Sapporo Jones: I mean for us it is more about how invested the rest of the team is. we have to come in from across the map and import stuff to make it work for us, that's not a huge ask but it's an effort that we don't want to undertake unless there is real commitment involved
- [17/11/2015 12:27:43] Sapporo Jones: the last campaign I saw against the cfc was ncdotte in fountain and it didn't go super great
- [17/11/2015 12:27:53] Sapporo Jones: but they didn't fully commit to it, nor did their allies
- [17/11/2015 12:28:20] Sapporo Jones: if a group like PL and/or NC actually fully commit to such an engagement that's a much different picture than just poking at random sov nobody cares about
- [17/11/2015 12:28:57] gobbins: Alright I understand
- [17/11/2015 12:29:13] gobbins: There's another way you can help tho
- [17/11/2015 12:29:38] gobbins: We'd like to understand mittanis motives
- [17/11/2015 12:30:35] gobbins: Could you link me the convo you had with him about this no longer being a wargame?
- [17/11/2015 12:35:49] Sapporo Jones: all he says in that conversation is that the wargame is temporarily off and he's gonna go for cr
- [17/11/2015 12:35:57] Sapporo Jones: there's nothing there about motives
- [17/11/2015 12:38:27] Sapporo Jones: I can't ethically give you the rest of the logs because most of it is just chat between execs
- [17/11/2015 12:38:35] gobbins: If it doesn't say anything else why not link it
- [17/11/2015 12:38:39] Sapporo Jones: and there's nothing in there really relevant to this situation
- [17/11/2015 12:38:49] Sapporo Jones: because it's exec to exec chat
- [17/11/2015 12:39:22] gobbins: Fair enough
- [17/11/2015 12:39:38] Sapporo Jones: like I wouldn't give him the full logs of this conversation either
- [17/11/2015 12:39:44] Sapporo Jones: I believe in executor confidentiality
- [17/11/2015 12:39:48] Sapporo Jones: and diplomatic privilege
- [17/11/2015 12:39:52] gobbins: So you don't wanna help with numbers unless we are already winning
- [17/11/2015 12:40:01] gobbins: And don't wanna help with Intel
- [17/11/2015 12:40:15] Sapporo Jones: I didn't say already winning
- [17/11/2015 12:40:29] Sapporo Jones: I said I want to know who is actually committed to prosecuting a full on war against the cfc
- [17/11/2015 12:40:34] Sapporo Jones: because that's what it would end up being
- [17/11/2015 12:40:44] Sapporo Jones: and that is not a small ask of a small and poor alliance that lives across the map from you
- [17/11/2015 12:41:15] Sapporo Jones: and I didn't say I wouldn't help with intel
- [17/11/2015 12:41:19] Sapporo Jones: I have been providing you intel
- [17/11/2015 12:41:24] Sapporo Jones: I won't leak convo logs
- [17/11/2015 12:41:26] gobbins: Honestly man I am not sure I can trust you at this point
- [17/11/2015 12:41:39] Sapporo Jones: I'm sorry you feel that way
- [17/11/2015 12:41:40] gobbins: Fair enough
