Have I miss something good? :lol:

Frustrated Goons, and a thankful Ishukone. :D

Then let me second that emotion.

+1. I heard about the Goons' failure just before leaving for work. Made my day. :lol:
-
Poor Morwen :P

Poor Morwen :P
Graelyn's reading-slave didn't get that far down. :P
(It's worth noting that Seyllin was technically my idea for a jump system, too, but I'll take the mention of Hearth and Home and be content with that.)
-
Props to both!
-
Not bad.
WTB Ishukone Watch Scorpion, though.
-
+1 sounds like a fun event!
-
Owned!
-
Pretty cool, props to both.
-
yay
-
Fuck yeah. Fuck Goons.

It was my idea to use the jump drives in the first place :cry:
It's alright, I've gotten my name in articles more than enough :P
:cube: To you guys though for doing the things and stuff.

This is an accurate depiction of me reacting to this news.
-
Awww shucks.
Seriously though, the only bit of the credit I can take is flying there and lighting a cyno
-
Yeah, you weren't the one trying to co-ordinate between two different sets of event actors and four different fleets :P
(Protip: Never do this.)

Nice job guys!
-
Hopefully I'll remember to read up when I get home and stuff isn't blocked, but would anyone like to give me a brief rundown on what happened so that I may applaud too?
-
tl;dr Stitcher and Morwen made Goons look like idiots by using a cyno to jump freighters around the blockade that, I assume, Vea set up to fuck with the event. Freighters jumped, aligned to the high sec gate, entered, without event. We win.

The Goons purposely setting up a "special" gank for this event I think is a bit of a stretch. Uedema, a system along the route, is known for being a ganking spot. Its the lowest sec system on the high-sec route between Jita (and the State in general) and the Federation (Gallente markets).
Was the option for jumping planned on CCP's part or a serendipitous occurrence since the Rhea is an Ishukone-skinned freighter?

Basically, Grid and Andy started screaming (asking) for lowsec systems that were within JF range of Kamio and near Luminaire because there were a number of Goons in Uedama ganking things - whether they were there specifically for the Ishukone convoy or not is still unclear to me, as they actively took criminal flags at least once while I was monitoring Uedama.
I suggested Seyllin, the Ishukone convoy leader (Kaus Siainda) decided it was worth going for, and then he asked Stitcher to get a cyno over there ASAP.
When the JFs were forced to undock by SuVee, they jumped to Stitcher's beacon, then made their way to Luminaire.
Op success with no critical losses. :)
-
In short: The whole fleet was stopped while people where talking in hushed voices about this huge Goon gankfleet that was seen - I think - on killboards ganking a few stupid freighters a bit earlier.
Would we've simply moved to Uedama gate and send a scout through, nothing would've happened. But when you spend 15 to 30 minutes idling a few jumps out, talking about how seriously bad it would be if the goons would gank these freighters in Uedama one could think that this might draw more attention to the thing. But in the end the cynoing was successful.
-
Yeah.
It was pointed out a couple times that as soon as a bunch of them took GCC from ganking something else, we had more than enough time to get through Uedama before they could do anything else, but I'm not sure why we didn't.
I remember hearing something about another gang -in- Kamio, but I never got that far because Andy and Grid told me to stay in Uedama and keep eyes on the gankers in there.
-
Nice work. Emergent gameplay is go?
-
Eh. Even if the whole thing was a case of jumping at shadows it still makes a better story than "Ishukone freighter convoy travels from Malkalen to Luminaire without incident"
I'm quite inclined to agree that we probably would have been fine to forge ahead anyway. I scouted both gates and saw nothing that looked a suicide gank fleet and with the goons docked with GCCs we were as safe as safe gets anyway.
Had I been FC I'd have probably dismissed the goon sightings on the intel I had and just gone ahead anyway. I wasn't, and I don't like when fleet members argue with the FC over course of action, so I just kept quiet and followed orders as they came through and thanks to 4th district watching the highsec gate in Seyllin everything was fine and dandy.
I definitely feel like I got good PR out of this, but I'm not even being modest when I say that literally all I did was do as I was told. I don't recall that I ever actually ventured an opinion on what our course of action should be.

Goons, pwnt

To be quite honest, a number of them are probably sitting scratching their heads thinking "wait, what jump freighters?" However, if they had seen the cargo scans (and they actually were carrying Ishukone Watch Scorpions) they would have chased them past Uedama for sure. Next time though, it would be much simpler if we were all in the same damn fleet. :p

I got a mail from The Mittani the day before this happened, with his opinion on RP and live events.
Tasted of tears.
-
Uedama is always a target of Miniluv, because there are a lot of idiots flying freighters loaded to the gills with expensive goodies through there.
If you haul it, they will come.
Not to say that they probably wouldn't have made a special effort to fuck with a live event, but I doubt very highly that they were there JUST for the convoy.

Seconded. Poast.
-
I can pretty much imagine how that went.
Mitty's opinion on such things is precisely and verbatim what you would stereotype a goon's opinion on it to be.

You have that backwards.
-
I just have to come out of retirement and offer my heartfelt congratulations to StitcherNMorwen. In the end it doesn't really matter if Goons were aware of the freighters or their contents. The freighters got through. The IC speculation about the Goons made sense. Stitcher and Morwen look like big damn heroes.
And Eve starts to look like a game that has interesting things going on, again. Nicely done! :D

What Graelyn wrote is true.
And I think Rule 7: Respect privacy. Do not post for public viewing any emails or Private Messages unless you have the explicit written permission of each person involved in the exchange.
prohibits me from posting the mail now, at least until I ask Mittens and maybe the other recipients, I will try to get some clarification on that matter.
