Well, what can I say other than it's going nuts round here! A combination of frequent large Caldari fleets and plenty of pirate gangs has lead to a week of many skirmishes and accompanying explosions. On top of this we currently have a war dec going with Haters Gonna Hate which has yielded a few scraps and yesterday we had some notice that a large pirate alliance may potentially be moving into Nisuwa... aiiieeeee.

PERVS leave Factional Warfare
Amarr Militia and former Caldari Militia corporation Space Perverts & Forum Warriors have announced they are to leave Faction War for good.
The Gallente serving pilot in me screams for joy, huzzah! The most annoying, irritating and successful enemy militia corp that I have ever had to cross swords with are gone, viva la Gallente!
However for the person behind the character, the one that sees the wider picture of FW, this is a pretty sad moment and a bitter sweet goodbye.
From the moment I joined the Gallente Militia I became aware of the pain in the ass that is the PERVS. Their prolific (but entertaining) use of spys, their unbelievable dedication and efforts on plexing, their reluctance to fight unless they had a nasty trick up their sleeve, their tyrannic smack and frustrating forum trolling has made them one of the most challenging Caldari corporations in FW history. They constantly thought outside the box and as such are both admired and detested in equal parts and amongst all militias.
PERVS members are also largely held responsible for the Caldari taking ALL systems by Plexing on the Gallente Side about a year ago. I don't wish to downplay the incredible efforts of the dedicated Gallente plexers but it is telling that we only started to take systems back when the PERVS first defected to the Amarr militia many months later.
So why would I be downhearted about their departure? PERVS pushed boundaries, discovered holes, manipulated them and constantly tested the walls of Faction War mechanics. They irritated, they annoyed and they worked hard for what they believed in. They constantly highlighted issues for CCP (sadly in vain) and forced all of us, especially the Gallente militia pilots, to up our game. The PERVS were a constant challenge and their departure will leave a hole no other corp, that I know of at least, will be able to fill.
I'll simply finish this post with the infamous Disco video...

Impromptu Delights
I'd had a very busy day planet side so had not particularly intended to go fleeting on Sunday night but somehow I still ended up camping the Nourvukaiken gate in Tama.

Turning tides
It's been a slightly random week, my own activity stifled by rl comings and goings and a sudden surge in new recruit interest has kept me largely in station rather than in space. I'm still trying to work out what exactly I did whilst finishing 2 bottles of red between Monday and last night, meep.

The Faction War Interviews
Ahh Faction War, that black sheep of the Eve family. A pointless activity? A playground for noobs? Is it all blobs and role-play? Why DO people still join militias? More importantly what is it that keeps them playing? Why on earth do people fight over system control when it offers no rewards? What sort of players call the landscape of Faction War their home?
In an effort to answer questions like this and diversify this blog I am conducting a series of interviews/questionnaires with the familiar faces in Faction War. Initially Gallente and hopefully Caldari militia. Eventually I hope to include Minmatar and Amarr militia pilots also. Participants are invited to reply as in char or out of character as they wish.
If you are interested in being interviewed drop me an email at eeliskiy@googlemail.com.
Enjoy!
1. Gallactica (Gallente Militia)
2. Julius Foederatus (Gallente Militia)
3. Aurora Nyx (Caldari Militia)
4. BacardiDesire (Minmatar Militia)
5. Lacco (Caldari State)
6. chatgris (Gallente Militia)
7....more to come!
