Following on, Count T has made this post on the ISS forum. Basically;

we have taken the o/post in F4r and are keeping it.
POS assaults against IAC have ceased and the POSes in rein. in JBY will be allowed to recharge shields
ISS is authorised to maintain raiding parties into IAC space, with the aim of stopping ratting and resupply

No mention of the AAA fleet, although I assume that this is in part a result of that + perhaps needing a bit of a breather from a solid 2 week's gate camping

but there we are;

Go 5punkfleet Go!!!!

Update:

Negotiations with IAC for a peaceful settlement have failed. ISS offered to hand back F4 and conduct a phased withdrawal, returning to a NAP and the status quo. The offer was rejected out of hand.

We are back on a war footing as of now. Although there are no plans to assault their other stations at this time, we will be conducting numerous POS assault ops to test their defences of the coming weeks.

Meanwhile Alliance logistics are working flat out to get ahead of the game. We should be doing the same. Have a few ships of various types fitted and ready in Tycho for rapid deployment. If you can stretch it to a bs then so much the better. Good luck!

Update on current protagonists

Them:

IAC
Goonies
SoD
KIA
AAA?

Also of note since the effect us our our immediate allies, although not directly involved in the war: RA, IRON, CVA, Mordus Angels

Us

ISS
U'K
LV
FIX
TYC
SERA

P-2TTL and EC-P8R have been hit by D2 and friends. All the towers there are in re-inforced

KDF-GY and F4R2-Q were hit overnight. KDF towers are in re-inforced.
F4R2-Q 2 towers are in re-inforced, and due to treachery, another 4 towers were placed offline and destroyed. This was a coalition of Goons, AAA and IAC.

Jacob Majestic, who's been in ISSN for over a year, turned traitor and offlined a bunch of POS's in F4. He robbed most of the ships and modules from the ISSN hangar in Tycho and was offlining the Navy POS's in ZX when he got caught.

Meanwhile, I've been doing what I can to move the high value stuff out of Tycho (I'm the only one online at the moment

) Anything we can't move we'll bung on the market.

Prohibition channel will no longer be used for defensive ops. Join channel PROVDEF for defensive ops. We're working with U'K.

Get yourself and some ships to ISS Fabrica in QR- to rally for further ops.

Thought it worth putting this convo up. Just some questions people asking and figured if one person's asking, everyone needs to know

[12:05:04] Friznit > I don't believe they expected us to lash back quite so hard and fast, but it escalated things pretty quickly when we did

Oh and ISIS is down permanently. Turns out Simon Illian, the guy who wrote and hosted it, was a TCF spy. Yay for ISS spies

wtf!! this shit getting really annoying! dam i so want to sell my freigther ot do some pew pew :/

If they need bailing out with a killboard get count or whoever to convo me.

They can pay me in ISK after this mess is sorted out and all that. During war it's a favour, so long as it doesn't hurt my bandwidth too much.

Edit: I am not offering them any design work, just a killboard like the one at http://kb.moarty.co.uk. They can customise the graphic at the top and have full admin to it.

Thanks for the offer Fear, however:

Until we can recover the killboard we should use this killboard as a temporary measure.

It works ingame and out of game. When you add a mail on the In Game Browser click Update portrait to add your luvvly mug.
Password for today is xxxxxx (see alliance mail)

Looks like someone did the exact same thing

These are the times that the pos will come out of reinforced. We will get together what horses we can in both Calico and Tycho, and see what the hostiles bring. If they bring 400 again then I doubt that we will even be able to engage them

KDF times are good in so much as the enemy will be at work/school (more likely primary school in the case of IAC) Tho I suppose it is also true that the defence will be at work/school also.

Any updates? I'm curious to know if ISS can pull it back.

Theer have been several flame wars running in the ISS forums recently. Many of them (although not all) have been cleaned out so it's starting to look more like the ISS forum and not the eve-o one.

Upshot appears to be that not enough people turned up for the 5am this morning tower defense so it was decided not to engage. Not sure coz I wasn't there myself, but it looks like we are largely on our own at the mo.

See you all tonight

we on are own and the POS are going to go down tho. Atm ISS had a gang of 15 and there 100+ hostiles! So because of a crap time its getting attacked ISS are unable to pull some sort of horse!

1 down another about to go. I on now for lunch until 13:15 but i siting there thinking no point! we cant do anything at this time

Exactly why we tweaked the stront levels in pos 4 to come out at 22:00, at least we can attempt a defense, and if not, we can see it go boom

well have fun guys I'll be in school for another 4 and a half hours at that point. Mondays just suck for me in the school semester. I hope all these illiterate IAC members become intergalactic garbage men.
