How I made 500m in under 30 minutes and started a legit war for 250m more...

So... I declared war on this guy becuase he flies a Rattlesnake....

They're a 23 man corp... all mission runners from what I can tell... I really didn't expect much of a fight... but was hoping to get to gank this guy's Rattlesnake at least...

Right before the war goes active... he convos me..

[ 2009.08.17 00:41:32 ] VictimCEO > Did we don something wrong?
[ 2009.08.17 00:41:37 ] VictimCEO > er do
[ 2009.08.17 00:42:24 ] VictimCEO > Just being elitist tbh
[ 2009.08.17 00:42:38 ] VictimCEO > tbh?
[ 2009.08.17 00:42:41 ] GenePool Chlorinator > to be honest

(Their Corp Description says something about having to have positive sec status to join with them... it's as good a reason as any)

[ 2009.08.17 00:42:55 ] VictimCEO > well we surrender
[ 2009.08.17 00:43:02 ] VictimCEO > you win

(Seriously? I'm kinda feeling bad for the guy at this point)

[ 2009.08.17 00:43:25 ] GenePool Chlorinator > unfortunately... it doesn't work that way
[ 2009.08.17 00:43:35 ] GenePool Chlorinator > not without hefty surrender fees at least
[ 2009.08.17 00:43:41 ] VictimCEO > yea I know I just thought I would try
[ 2009.08.17 00:43:52 ] VictimCEO > how much?
[ 2009.08.17 00:44:30 ] VictimCEO> and to ask, not that I expect an answer, but is this personal or have you been hired?
[ 2009.08.17 00:44:39 ] GenePool Chlorinator > 500m

(I figured that might be a touch high but I thought he'd at least try and counter offer)

[ 2009.08.17 00:45:02 ] GenePool Chlorinator > I can't reveal that information
[ 2009.08.17 00:45:21 ] VictimCEO> Thank-you for your honesty

(Right on... my.... Honesty... uh huh)

[ 2009.08.17 00:45:57 ] VictimCEO > for for 500m you will end the war?
[ 2009.08.17 00:46:02 ] GenePool Chlorinator > yes
[ 2009.08.17 00:46:56 ] VictimCEO > not that you are not a great person but how do I know you will end the war once I send the isk?
[ 2009.08.17 00:47:38 ] GenePool Chlorinator > we sorta have that trust issue I suppose.... I'm not sure how to reconcile that with you I guess
[ 2009.08.17 00:47:54 ] GenePool Chlorinator > Other than to say I'll end the war if you pay
[ 2009.08.17 00:48:02 ] VictimCEO > oh, good point
[ 2009.08.17 00:48:15 ] VictimCEO > how much extra to find out who?
[ 2009.08.17 00:49:48 ] GenePool Chlorinator > sorry.. in a fight atm

( I was ratting to fix my sec status.. which makes this whole thing funnier cause I can't aggress him now if I wanted to... Can't this guy do any research? Anyway... a Shadow Rat had just spawned... and I wanted to make sure I got the loot quick)

[ 2009.08.17 00:49:49 ] GenePool Chlorinator > one sec
[ 2009.08.17 00:50:23 ] VictimCEO > np
[ 2009.08.17 00:53:56 ] GenePool Chlorinator > ok.. docked now...
[ 2009.08.17 00:53:58 ] GenePool Chlorinator > dead targets
[ 2009.08.17 00:54:06 ] VictimCEO > nice

(Shadow Serpentis 100MN Microwarpdrive... not exactly 'nice' but not too shabby)

[ 2009.08.17 00:54:13 ] GenePool Chlorinator > I hate to reveal my sources
[ 2009.08.17 00:54:46 ] GenePool Chlorinator > It'd cost an extra 1000m (billion)


(if I'm going to ruin my "integrity" for him it's gonna cost him)

[ 2009.08.17 00:54:51 ] VictimCEO > well to be honest, I think I know and really don't care any more
[ 2009.08.17 00:55:28 ] GenePool Chlorinator > Understood
[ 2009.08.17 00:55:38 ] GenePool Chlorinator > confirmation is a good thing... but often unnecessary

(laying out the bait... trying to reel him in....)

[ 2009.08.17 00:56:03 ] VictimCEO > we have been dealing with then for months and this is a game, I would like to resolve this for you so you are happy, but we have already talked if we have to stay docked for a month and train that fine to

(I'm glad he wants to keep me happy...)


[ 2009.08.17 00:56:27 ] VictimCEO > er them sorry, tired
[ 2009.08.17 00:56:36 ] GenePool Chlorinator > understood
[ 2009.08.17 00:57:27 ] VictimCEO > since I assume you are in in for the money, then I offer a proposal, 300 now, when I recieve the retracted notice I send the other 200 right then

(Great idea... I wish I'd thought of that!)

[ 2009.08.17 00:57:34 ] GenePool Chlorinator > I assume you'd make much more isk in a month doing missions in your nightmare than staying docked?
[ 2009.08.17 00:57:47 ] VictimCEO > I cna't fly a nightmare
[ 2009.08.17 00:57:55 ] VictimCEO > caldari / gallente
[ 2009.08.17 00:58:51 ] VictimCEO > to be honest, we know of several of your members, I would be no match angainst 1/2 of one of your players and I am one of the better toons

(WTF? HOW is an alt corp... our MEMBERS?)

[ 2009.08.17 00:59:26 ] GenePool Chlorinator > you're right of course.. I had your name next to the wrong ship...
[ 2009.08.17 00:59:27 ] VictimCEO > we are baby toon compared to you
[ 2009.08.17 00:59:29 ] GenePool Chlorinator > Rattlesnake
[ 2009.08.17 00:59:50 ] VictimCEO > yea, well you are right, but I would not even try it
[ 2009.08.17 01:00:09 ] VictimCEO > we don't do pvp
[ 2009.08.17 01:00:26 ] VictimCEO > don't know how, can't even use most of the ewar stuff
[ 2009.08.17 01:00:59 ] GenePool Chlorinator > fair enough
[ 2009.08.17 01:01:05 ] GenePool Chlorinator > well.. we'll both have to trust[ 2009.08.17 01:01:18 ] GenePool Chlorinator > if you send 300m I'll retract the war and trust that you send the other 200m
[ 2009.08.17 01:01:25 ] VictimCEO > I make this easy for you, I have given my proposal, we have each moved to the 4 empires
[ 2009.08.17 01:01:40 ] VictimCEO > we will not fight either way
[ 2009.08.17 01:01:42 ] GenePool Chlorinator > if you don't send the extra 200m I'll re-dec you later.. if you do.. I will commit to not deccing you in the future
[ 2009.08.17 01:01:51 ] VictimCEO > deal
[ 2009.08.17 01:01:56 ] VictimCEO > send to you?
[ 2009.08.17 01:02:04 ] VictimCEO > and you will drop now correct?
[ 2009.08.17 01:02:18 ] GenePool Chlorinator > yes
[ 2009.08.17 01:02:20 ] GenePool Chlorinator > that's correct
[ 2009.08.17 01:04:10 ] VictimCEO > 300 mil paid
[ 2009.08.17 01:04:36 ] GenePool Chlorinator > retracted
[ 2009.08.17 01:04:47 ] GenePool Chlorinator > I'll tell my members not to shoot during the brief period they will be allowed to
[ 2009.08.17 01:05:09 ] GenePool Chlorinator > if one of them shoots, I'll cover all losses (but that better not be a problem)
[ 2009.08.17 01:05:12 ] VictimCEO > now you have other 200

(Blinky wallets are GREAT!)

[ 2009.08.17 01:05:24 ] VictimCEO > understand
[ 2009.08.17 01:05:24 ] GenePool Chlorinator > I mean.. my guys better behave

[ 2009.08.17 01:05:47 ] GenePool Chlorinator > Do you have any desire for confirmation of your aggressors?

(gotta hope the bait is taken so I can set the hook)

[ 2009.08.17 01:06:16 ] VictimCEO > I do, but not have that much at this time, sorry

(aww damn... should I offer for less? While I'm thinking about it....)

[ 2009.08.17 01:06:22 ] GenePool Chlorinator > Understood
[ 2009.08.17 01:06:33 ] VictimCEO > paying for this out of my own money
[ 2009.08.17 01:06:56 ] VictimCEO > but for 50 mil if I guess can I get a yes or no


(Awesome! He's right on his guess... I can tell you already!)

[ 2009.08.17 01:07:15 ] GenePool Chlorinator > yes
[ 2009.08.17 01:08:05 ] GenePool Chlorinator > your guess?
[ 2009.08.17 01:08:16 ] VictimCEO > there is the 50, my guess is "xyz pilot from abc corp"
[ 2009.08.17 01:09:01 ] GenePool Chlorinator > you got it...
[ 2009.08.17 01:09:11 ] GenePool Chlorinator > would you like to hire us against them?

[ 2009.08.17 01:10:37 ] GenePool Chlorinator > 250m a week plus war dec fees (6m a week currently)

(Damn... I still have to raise my sec status!)

[ 2009.08.17 01:11:49 ] VictimCEO > yes
[ 2009.08.17 01:12:32 ] GenePool Chlorinator > pay is half up front and half when the war goes into affect (to cover the time spent scouting)

(it's a 10 man corp they want me to dec... he sent me 5 of them and how they are specced for skills.... nice!Now I just have to run some locator agents to figure out where they live... but I dunno if i can afford it... agents are expensive!!)

[ 2009.08.17 01:16:16 ] GenePool Chlorinator > we won't communicate with them in the interim
