Like I said, you failed as a leader. As soon as there’s the possibility of PvP you run and hide instead of killing them back until they beg you not to make the war mutual and destroy their corp. You can hide behind excuses all you want, but in the end the truth remains: you are a coward whose only response to adversity is to whine on the forums and beg CCP to remove it.

And of course while you were hiding from your responsibilities your corp members undocked and died. Too bad they didn’t have their leader organizing support and protecting them, maybe they could have won instead of being slaughtered.

Lol what you call cowardice I call intelligence 🙂

I don’t see anyone dying now, maybe the issue is you don’t see that we actually did pvp, we docked up, and petitioned CCP until the problem was solved. I call that a GF.

No, intelligence would be recognizing that you have a massive member count and can overwhelm PvP threats with sheer numbers. Intelligence would be using the tools you have available to win the war by force, demonstrating the worth of ICANP instead of making it clear to everyone that without CONCORD you are nothing and nobody should ever join you. Intelligence would be understanding the long game instead of being so terrified of PvP that all you can do is beg CCP to make it stop.

> I don’t see anyone dying now, maybe the issue is you don’t see that we actually did pvp, we docked up, and petitioned CCP until the problem was solved. I call that a GF.

Docking up to protect your personal assets while your corp members die unsupported is not PvP, it’s you being a spineless loser. And petition spamming CCP instead of fighting is nothing more than a concession that you have zero hope of winning within the game and that nobody should ever join ICANP.

He didn’t say anything about telling his players to spam CCP with petitions, though, just that he’s refusing to fight back.

Wait, what does this even mean? Who is “they”? Are you talking about the aggressors? Why would they beg him not to destroy their corp if he’s not even fighting back?

What do you mean by calling it an exploit? Wardecs are part of the game.

He did tell them to spam with petitions when EC were nerfed, see [here](http://www.minerbumping.com/2020/02/forbidden-knowledge-part-1.html).

But @Merin_Ryskin said that he stopped playing and told Silent Coalition to spam petitions to change _wardecs_. That’s what I was asking about.

Though that article you linked has one hell of a dumpster fire in the comments section…

Well, then he said he stopped playing (but later redefined it as “staying docked”), but I don’t remember anything said by him to mass petition CCP about wardecs.

That’s true, but Psychotic Monk didn’t even need to try. He had it right in his bio what he was.

I think that was kind of like people that fall for scams in real life. Any corp that let him in was prime for awoxing.

It’s also part of the reason many of those corps back then didn’t deserve any sympathy. The empathy gap for them brought on by their own incompetence.

Simply docking when they come into system by having neutral alt scouts one system over is a pretty good denial tactic also and doesn’t involve abandoning a large corp.  
So yeah… Sabus is a coward and that’s a fair accusation to level.

The mass petitions, eh, it was an exploit, that’s clear, CCP don’t put all exploits onto the exploit list. Only the ones that are serious and can’t be easily fixed so have to be left in game for a while. And they normally only ban for the worst abuses of exploits.  
Still not something you need to spam a corp full of newbies about since it panics them and probably caused more to quit than the wardec itself. Just the leadership doing petitions should be enough to get it noticed.

Well yes, it is absolutely possible to make a public declaration that you are a PvE-only corp that can only function when protected by CONCORD. It does, however, contradict his grand claims about how he wants highsec capitals so he can launch an invasion of nullsec if he can’t even handle a basic highsec war.

I meant “taking advantage of new players” in the sense that he appears to be fleecing them to enrich himself.

Wanting to play alone is fine, but playing AFK in EvE is a _terrible_ idea and should not be encouraged.

I don’t know about petitions but he was trying to get corpies to brigade in forums and posted a link to the csm discord for the corp to try and get them to lobby devs and csm members.

He did ask his member to spam CCP with petitions. It was either by MOTD or corp mail, I am not sure anymore.
