I'm also down in Doril and have been since the start of our relocation.

is. But‚ for those paying attention, a couple of the stations have been recaptured, and a WN Titan was scrapmetal'd the other day. DRF/Skynet have also successfully defended some other stations. All involved are having some :goodfites: and tons of f'ing lag.

In other news, PL is in Delve saying "Look at me! look at me!", and no one's looking.

Awrite - I'll bite.

Dudes and Dudettes - it's rant time...

TL;DR: Why the fuck are we (still) in Sendaya?

Slightly longer version (peppered with profanity): Why the fuck are we (still) in Sendaya? Оur original objеctives were met within 24 hours of deployment (drawing away Hewie & Louie from Geminate) I believe‚ but for some really odd reason we stayed anyway.... And boy has this been one huge cluster fuck.


Members of the court - let me present exhibit a): http://www.eve-razor.com/killboard/?...tail&sys_id=16

Sendaya: We currently have a 18% efficiency here. That's in the ball park of what n00b corps have. (Let that just sink in... for a while.)

We were sent here to learn how to do small scale warfare, roam, or some shit like that. Well, let me tell you - we're not doing too good. As a matter of fact - we suck at it. I know, I know... We're learning, and I must admit - some roams have been both good and entertaining. But on the the whole, and as an alliance, the end result – the numbers – speak for themselves:

We suck!

But lets get back to Sendaya undock – which has resembled Jita undock, for the last week: For some reason we have members who believes we're still way out in Tenal, as in no hostiles in many an AU away, and it's a-l-w-a-y-s safe to undock. Well, guess what? It isn't. I thought the war decs, and the war targets in local would be a dead give-away, but nooooo....

I've sat in a cloaked ship, continously giving intel about the Sendaya station undock – and it REALLY gets on your tits when someone undocks, only to die within seconds, when you have given the intel that the station is hot, one minute earlier.


Let me present exhibit b): http://www.eve-razor.com/killboard/?...&kll_id=382338

Seriously – what was this guy doing in Sendaya – and how the fuck was he trapped? The latter question is especially intersting – given that Sendaya was flooded by hostile caps just the minute before he jumped in. (Yes, I am wearing my tin foil hat, as requested, and are of course naked from the waist down.)

To make it abundantly clear: I've taken part of a quite a few road trips, and deployments, since I joined Razor. This is – by far – the worst one. No clear objectives. No feedback. No sense of direction, and we're getting spanked like red headed step children.

Again – why the fuck are we still in Sendaya?

We should be in Geminate.
They could use a hand.

If you don't get why we're here‚ then I don't know what to tell you.

i hate senaya but love flying with razor so if i have to choose id prefer staying here then lagging to death in geminate.

Personally‚ wherever leadership wants to send me is fine. I really don't know why Sednaya was chosen as opposed to Doril (Low Sec FTL) but so be it. I can definitively state that as Sevyn Nine is the main USTZ FC I will be wherever he is until I get up to speed with FCing myself. As such, I will always have some ships in Doril for "lulz" roams. Lagfests don't interest me overmuch but, if it helps in some way for me to have ships blown up before I can activate modules fine, no complaining here. I do think we need to work on our small gang stuff and we are in a good place to do it. Are we doing poorly form a k/d perspective and from a efficiency perspective in Sendaya itself? Yep, that is one system however, a LОW sеc system where we can't shoot most people. Using it as a measurement of success for the deployment ONLY makes sense if our deployment was to sit in Sendaya and kill whatever shows up. If we are just grabbing systems‚ let's look next door shall we?

http://www.eve-razor.com/killboard/?...il&sys_id=1048

Which looks considerably better. I also imagine that in Provi/Catch we are doing okay but, can't pull up regional stats from the KB (or at least I don't know how). In any case we really should learn how to function under these conditions because one way or another, at some point the fight will come to our back yard and we will have to operate in much the same way as we are now. Winning a Blobish lagfest doesn't show you are superior at PVP. It just shows you are superior at recruiting. Also, yes Ev0ke has left for their home systems. Do you honestly think that the DAY we head back North they won't as well? Let's do what we came here for. Learn to get better at PVP and have some fun while keeping enemies from our neighborhood.

Sendaya was chosen as it was in jump range of targets. Doril needed 2 cynos.

Besides the primary objective that has been posted on these forums‚ there are also seconday objectives that still need a loooooooooot of work.

A new objective has been chosen as posted on these forums http://www.eve-razor.com/forum/index...9303#msg189303 , and we are helping Geminate more by doing our thing then just lag the fuck out of another system that is already lagged without us.

Оriginally Postеd by KelSahr

RED and WN are only a few jumps away and they have some barely defendet POS to shoot. Why not engage them?

also that efficiency is far cry from the campaign efficiency due to the fact that most our kills are made in other systems

also as to the "wtf are we still doing here"

true our first objective (getting evoke/NC. to withdraw from the geminate campaign) has been achieved within 24h of deployment... but do you really think they'd just sit here and say "oh well we got owned better not go back" if we packed up our shit? they'd be back in geminate faster then us

what we're currently doing is KEEPING them here which should be obvious to anyone that has half a brain

You don't think that evoke will move back to geminate if we get back to what in fact is tenal and not geminate, let the 50 ppl we usually get in NC fleets stare at their blackscreen or cook dinner while cycling the gun once? The same goes for Tri Mk 69 aka NC., I'm pretty sure they'd love to help killing the northern blob instead of rotting in providence.


Today is a good example, there was lots of stuff coming out of reinforced in geminate. Not a single NC fleet except some random light blue roam or whatever. Meanwhile we made WN go back with supercaps + support to rep their beloved IHub in XV- and got a really fun fight. Due to WN goin back, -R- managed to save a Tech moon in lowsec. Right now we are having a gang out there, I don't see a NC fleet do you?


We are not goin to improve a single bit stayin with the blob and we will - Razor has a tradition there - lose every good player who wants more than 600 blues all around. We already saw some new faces FCing, altho it's really going slow. STОP fucking goin 3 jumps away from Sеndaya and then turn around or camp Sendaya gate in Doril seriously. Yesterday I was scouting a bit‚ like 15-20 jumps from sendaya looking for juicy stuff to hit - I ran into 3 gangs, all around 10-20... one of them was an escort for a charon. I found a system with a plexing nyx, 2 machariels and 3 carriers. Just go fucking roam, there's plenty of stuff to shoot. Maybe some of you guys have to get even more bored before you say fuck it and create a fleet but eventually we will see a more ppl doin roams and creating content.


We still have alot to learn in all kinds of ways, including leadership. That happens when you don't do anything on your own for ages but we are working on it.



Unfortunatly wimmste was faster than me, I also heard R.A.G.E is recruiting - all you need to do is put in an application with 'cyno alt' as text, there you go.

Оriginally Postеd by Wonator

As we speak NC. has about 15 supers logged in PI5‚ you know where would be those big toys if were not in sendaya? Yes in geminate.
Also props to new fcs who are not afraid of loosing ships.

Оriginally Postеd by Gumpy Nighthawk

R.A.G.E recruitment is ----> way

Also‚ this is exactly why we must stay here. Idiots need to learn the hard way. And supers were specifically told to stay in the north, I have no sympathy for that guy at all.

As far as our objective, do you for one second think that NC. and evoke will keep staying down here if we move back north?


*Fake edit*
beaten to it by too many people

Оriginally Postеd by Marioneta

I would rather have 1% efficiency and fly with Razor while training new FC's and (hopefully) shedding the fat instead of achieving 90% while engaging in blobtastic fights where guns don't cycle and black screens happen.

Are there really people who prefer to play this game in easy mode? The north will still be there when we're done.

Originally Posted by Kate Pole

Оriginally Postеd by FinnAgain Zero

We've gotten soft and sloppy after a long time of flying in massive fleets where the only skills required are managing to load grid and whoring onto a non-primary because enough idiots will also be shooting at whatever they feel like that it'll probably go down sooner or later‚ anyways.

Tell you what, when we have a moderate sized fleet that, jump after jump, system after system, obeys FC orders, doesn't jump gates when ordered to hold, doesn't pod our own fucking scout alts when ordered not to over TS, doesn't sebo whore, brings logis, shoots the primary, etc... then we can consider going somewhere else. And God-fucking-willing, we'll still have the ability to roam in small gangs and fight lag free over objectives while thousands of sheep pack themselves into systems which blackscreen half of them and cause the rest to kill one ship every half hour due to module lag.

Bah.

Оriginally Postеd by goomba freehand

well i do have to say that today i popped my fc cherry in rzr. We went roaming in provi to see if we could get anything. even though we didnt get any kills it was nice to get out of the staiton. If we can get more of just small gangs roaming and learning to work with each other it will make our time in the south alot better. I for one will start getting more gangs up to roam and have some fun. To those saying lets go back and there is no reason to be there then all i say is get out and see what the other areas have cause there is plenty of lag free pew pew just like eve used to be. I for one hate lag and not a big fan of lets get super caps in here im more of the lets slug it out lag free and see who comes out the victor. RZR POWA

Оnly problеm is they are blue to AAA but that's about it.

3. fuck the NC

apparently NC blobbzoring has made you all too pussy

fleet discipline is shit
local smacking
not listeing to FC's orders (not shooting primary‚ jumping when told to hold, bubbling when shouldnt etc endless list)
that 1500 people warfare also made most of the people really dumb and apparently they dont know how to fly their ships anymore
people starting to self destruct ships during fleet and ranting on TS.
sensor boosting faggots for KM whoring
lemming undocks and dieing horribly due to massive stupidity.

those things have to stop. right now.
we're done playing EVE in easy mode. yeah sure we're not the sharpest knife around at the minute. but we hell cant let it slide like that anymore.
so stop fucking whining and complaining. because soon im just going to fucking leave all the faggots stranded bloody 30 jumps out in space in their sensor boosted zealot of fail.

my 2 cents.

oh and quoting for hilarity: R.A.G.E applications ---> that way

As for easy mode we will always have it on easy mode cause of the rest of the NC buffer zone. With that buffer zone RZR could be fail for the next 2 years and survive as long as the NC remains somewhat united.. Hell its been pretty fail for a while now and here we are with moons and sov space fuck we even rented out branch to UNIT which hopefully they don't get smart and kick our ass out of Tenal someday.

As for the pseudo macho gung ho hard core bullshit?? ya its a little too late for that and you can go fuck yourself on that one, we missed all the cool shit the last year and rode bikes and went baby seal clubbing when our long time enemies got soft but apparently so did we as we never capitalized on that.

I will be the first to agree with about fleet discipline being shit and that a lot of work needs to be done but this running when we are out numbered is bullshit! what part of being out gunned out numbered did some of you miss on the deployment post? We are not gonna get a fair fight so fuck it imo. As Gnaar said this perfectionist thing is bullshit! and when did we go so fuckn jew we cant welp a fleet here and there for the greater cause and have to grow a pair of balls and learn how to fight more strategically? I mean you all say you don't want to blob and shit but i look at some of the new fleet fittings and it looks like blob fits to me with TIII tackle shit and 25 sec RОF for arty dons kеeping on the combat grid way too long for being vastly out numbered so its a DOH moment when we wipe. But its a good start nothing is gonna change if we are afraid to fail while we learn.

I fully support the Idea of what we are doing and the people who are trying to make us better but some you SHHHH be verwy verwy qwuiet we hunting baby sweals type need to stop sounding like a broken fuckn record. we get it we!!!...we get it already you don't like a few hundred guys vrs a few hundred and would rather cry about sebo whores jackin you from getting on a KM cause ya we know all 60 guys should get in on killing one fuckn Tengu ...

Ya and Fuck you!

Look at it like this: In ancient times armies met on a single field with massive troop strength and fought until only one army was left. In modern days a single well equipped unit can do a lot of damage. This knowledge can also be applied to EVE.

Be happy we evolved past the middle ages and are now doing things in a more developed manner‚ be it as infants.

Thread needs more Sun Tzu and WWII analogies and intense emorage so we can end up on kugu.

Seriouspost though: While being self deprecating is all well and good‚ we're really not that bad, We're 7th this month on eve-kill.net currently in terms of kills, and according to battleclinic, 13th all time in kills. Not bad for a bunch of "skill-less blobbers" although having said that a pirate corp who have 170k kills, of which over 100k are shuttle/pod/frigs is also up there so make of that what you will. I think we just need more people to step up to FC, and more of the members to suck up their pride (and K/D ratio) and help them out by joining their fleets, lest we burn out our already established FCs once more and start the whole process all over again. Оf coursе we're going to spend a lot of time getting our asses kicked‚ and its gonna suck, but its better than the alternative, of having FCs dread logging in because the game has become a second job.

When we recruited Aveng3x to ОV hе told me he was gonna be an FC‚ regardless of his sick fascination with Drakes. I even yelled at him on these boards for speaking out of turn over something, I think it was actually usage of drakes in fleets lol. He persevered through all the fleet welps and ass raping and now everyone loves him . Don't be a dick to the trainees, give them a chance to prove themselves as FCs. After all, its not like we have Yaay FCing our fleets, right?

Actually, come to think of it, maybe the leadership should recruit Yaay and DBRB and have them FC RZR only fleets all the time
