You need to make up your mind already.

Anyway, let’s have that list. War HQ already exists, as I own multiple stations; I just don’t use them for outgoing wars. I assume declaring war on BF (and winning, because _“real”_ PvPers are winners) is going to be one of your requirements? What else? Let’s get like a solid dozen of points in there. Taking away some sovereignty from Goons? Becoming a full-time null-sec FC? The world is your oyster, Dracvlad. Let’s have it.

Sure, one ‘can’ do all the other things you mentioned…but most in Safety that I have seen are the Two-Percenters, who strut about because they killed 1/50th of some hapless barge. Lone wolfs like myself would far rather kill all or die all…100% victory or 100% loss. If a little ‘noble warrior’ can be thrown in too then so much the better…but for me AG is a fight against the arrogance of Two-Percenters ( a lovely term I will increasingly use ) who strut about like God’s gift just because they broke the wing mirror on a barge.

I’ve never seen any gankers be truly arrogant. It probably happens, but certainly not in the way you describe.

Most of the arrogance and boasting comes from null-sec players, who both consider themselves to be "_real"_ PvPers, _and_ are anointed as such by all the carebears who are trying to find reprieve by shaming the griefer scumbags into leaving them alone and going somewhere where there’s "_real"_ PvP.

So if your issue is with getting only 2% of a kill in a 15-minute gank, imagine taking part in a 6-hour fleet operation with hundreds of players involved, and effectively winding up with only half of a single Muninn behind your belt.

You tend not to read what others say, you read what you think they say. Stating that requiring me to war dec you showed weakness as a war deccer. It does not mean that you are unskilled or unknowledgeable at all. Your Killboard indicates to me that you are a pretty decent small target war deccer.

Here is the thing, you have some people who will go for your war HQ when you go for it, but why does that bother you? To me you have to break that log jam at some point or force your way through it in some way. You are allying in on wars, but you want to be able to do wars, well make them work for it. And this reluctance on your part to accept such a loss is very much at odds with your forum rhetoric.

Personally I wanted the war dec system not to be restricted against entities with structures, on the other side I wanted all entities to be able to do three war decs, but to do more than three they would ahve to put down a war HQ, this was a much more sensible way to do wars and CCP always over reacts.

But this is the game, you just have to get past that. It just seemed incredibly weak to do a challenge like you did to get me to war dec you. All my war decs have been on specific strategic targets to destroy. WHich is why you wanted me to have something like that. At some point you might get your chance, but you have to wait for it.

You’re confusing not willing to accept losses with being unwilling to dedicate the effort required to scale up my gameplay in such a manner. I have enough going on in my life to not desire alarm-clocking citadel defense ops.

Money isn’t an issue, Dracvlad. I’ve got trillions of it.

You’re nitpicking again. I already told you that a war HQ isn’t even required for this. The only condition I will set is that both sides maintain war eligibility, that’s it. And that can be done by hiding a station or owning a single POCO somewhere.

The point of the challenge isn’t to expose anyone’s citadel to attack to troll them into taking a loss; it’s to entice you out of your rental hidey-hole and force you to actually be proactive, as opposed to sitting in a station all day and vomiting up an occasional smack line into local. That’s why the reward money is being put up for success. And I’m not waiting for anything. The offer isn’t going to stay open forever, and at some point only the history of it being made (and ducked) will exist in the form of linkable forum posts.

Anyway, why are you hijacking this thread with your nonsense too? We already have a discussion about this in the other one.

Here is the thing, it is nothing to do with nit-picking. The wars I have been involved in have specific strategic objectives, you want to prove something or other over hurt feelings in the forums, while to me this is a bit of a joke. You seem to think that I have to prove something, or that I am invalidated in some way by this, which is complete baloney. As I have said the alliance I am in can be war decced now, but you have not.

That is hilariously funny, I did not know I was renting from anyone for a start? That is a new one one me, seriously amusing, where do you get your intel from? Gix?

And what does that even mean, is this the issue with what you call slippery targets, because that is what I am, I guess that is a compliment, because I fight only on my own terms in the main.

And this is where I start laughing, you think it means something? Nothing is stopping you from war deccing me and trying to come after me, you don’t need this 10 billion. I have already told you that I think it is a pathetic joke and suggested that you just war dec and start trying to hunt and kill, what is stopping you? ANd to call it an offer too, just do it if you can…

So what if you are going to run around telling all that I ducked out of this challenge, it means something to you, but for me it means nothing, it is totally unimportant and irrelevant, I mean what I said, a war deccer wants me to war dec them as a challenge, yeah right… That fool Dom Arkaral tried the exact same thing by declaring a duel at the sun or something at a time and place, it was funny as hell, this is just a slightly enhanced version of that stupidity.

Yeah this challenge is nonsense, glad you agree.

You’re just straight-up straw-manning now. The only reason I’m doing this is because you constantly brag, and I’m calling you out on it. My feelings can’t be hurt because you’ve had literally zero impact on my gameplay, and I want you to prove to everybody here that you _can._

Except you staying permanently docked.

Anyway, you either fundamentally don’t understand the point and significance of a challenge (someone questioning your claims and honor, to which people in a competitive setting are reasonably expected to respond), or you’re _pretending_ not to, which is _considerably_ worse.

If someone challenged me like this, I sure as hell wouldn’t find every reason under the sun to avoid having to deal with it.

Hurt feelings over what you think is bragging. Your game play has been forum warfare for years.

Well I find that comment amusing…, when I came back it was late October, been away for over a year, when I got the end of year report on my activities in the game for my characters I was within the top six percent of people moving around hisec for that year after two months of play. Tell me again that I did not undock?

You think there is a point and a significance to it, but I don’t. Your challenge is like certain nullsec entities organising arena type fights, I found that pathetic too.

Well go and find the right person to challenge then, your target selection sucks big time. For a start I am not even in your TZ.

If you were a golfer, and another golfer challenged you to a game at the course, would you say the same thing? We can even say, hypothetically, that the other golfer is better, but they offered to start you two under par, and told you that they’d pay for a year of your membership if you won.

Would you likewise twist and turn your way out of it, instead of accepting and trying your best?

Fundamentally, it’s a _sport,_ Dracvlad. Maybe you’re not cognizant of this, but EVE warfare _isn’t actually real._ But you being a terrible sport yourself would explain this well.

It’s _nothing_ like that. The fact that there are no rules or predetermined confrontations of any sort has been reiterated over and over again. Once again, you’re just finding excuses.

I define myself in Eve as being competent and hard to kill. That I have detailed some of my successes when people try to tell me I have no experience obviously annoys you. Of course, your objective is forum warfare…

Your ignorance on that is bliss. Ignore as in in-game. What do I care about some one blowing up PH noobs on Amarr undock?

I have over 10,000 hours in games like DayZ, H1Z1, Rust, etc.

You can’t “play” a survival game by sitting at the trader in the safe zone, Dracvlad.

The challenge isn’t for me to be a threat to you, it’s for you to be a threat to me. So far, you’re failing at it quite handily, for someone who’s forced entire fleets to dock up at your mere presence.

This is obviously affecting him quite a lot, as is evident by all of the “I am laughing so much” comments, which are literally the #1 psychological marker for someone being upset.

But instead of responding to it rationally by saying something like “this particular type of gameplay just doesn’t appeal to me” (which is something I’d say for example if someone challenged me to join a null-sec alliance), or “I am currently not interested due to my activities, but might be interested in the future,” he instead went for the “I’m not doing this because you’re so weak and inexperienced with the game and haven’t played recently” angle, which are reasons that make _him_ look bad for not taking a heavily-compensated challenge from someone who _he himself_ labeled as the underdog.

This level of self-sabotage can only come from someone with an extreme deficiency of empathy and social skills.

🧐

Cilla, why do you constantly make overly exaggerated arguments, that make you appear totally mental, irrational, and inexperienced? Is it because you are a troll, like some people think, or are you actually just this oblivious to reality?

I’m not even going to explain what % of a barge I normally shoot, but I can assure you that it is normally a bit higher than 2%.

@Dracvlad @Destiny_Corrupted

I’ve been struggling to understand this whole challenge thing, but I finally get it.

Destiny doesn’t want to wardec Dracvlad, she doesn’t want to attack him, because he is IRRELEVANT. Dracvlad doesn’t do anything, doesn’t have anything, isn’t anything - there’s nothing to attack! Dracvlad is a vapid mist of words, a ethereal wisp of nothingness. He will just dock up and link a killmail from a decade ago.

Destiny is challenging Dracvlad to exist - to pose an actual threat, to become the dracula/vladtheimpaler he clearly envisioned when he created the character. Will Dracvlad seize the opportunity to summon himself into being, arising to fill us with dread terror, or will he hiss as he evaporates into the shadows?

Oh but it is. When a whinebaby is ganked, they get hit so hard that they end up back in WoW.
