War Target First Contact
This is the mail we send to all of our targets, some of the words are linked to pictures but the links are safe.
Greetings kind Sir or Madam! (probably Sir)
Congratulations !!!
This is an automated message sent to inform you that your corporation has been chosen at random out of the thousands of corporations in EVE Online, to be the next target of Dread Space Inc.! Within 24 hours your ships will begin to explode against your will, or you will be unable to undock for fear of your ships exploding against your will! If you wish to participate in this war, we will gladly explode your ships for you, If not you can pay a one time only fee of 150,000,000 ISK, and the war will be retracted immediately upon payment, and your ships won't have to explode!
This is the one time the 150,000,000 ISK "No Explosions Please!" fee will be offered, if you chose not to pay the "No Explosions Please!" fee, the cost to stop combat will increase by 25,000,000 ISK per day that the war is Active. If you were to allow the War to go its full duration of one week, the cost of the "No Explosions Please!" fee will be 325,000,000 ISK! So it may be in your best interest to simply pay the 150,000,000 ISK or the fee may reach a level which you cannot pay at all, and the war will persist as long as Dread Space Inc. desires it to, perhaps even months!
Please make your "No Explosions Please!" payments to Joseph Dreadloch.
Please direct all other inquiries to our office.
This message has been brought to you by Quafe.

A Target Already Under Siege
A few hours later a 24 hour vote had finished, and I started a new wardec. We started moving ships and scouting targets when I received a convo from the target CEO. This conversation was literally painful, Its like this man came home to see that his dog was dead, and a few minutes later I knocked on the door trying to sell him a puppy.
[05:23:30] *WT CEO* > hi your war deced us and we dont want war
[05:23:44] Joseph Dreadloch > understandable
[05:24:27] *WT CEO* > so how can we solve thes i gave your man over 300mil and he will not leave
[05:25:06] Joseph Dreadloch > what?
[05:25:59] *WT CEO* > i do not want to call in friend ship aliances and we have a lot and they know about this and are willing to come in so i would like your men to leave like they said they would
[05:26:33] Joseph Dreadloch > we haven't started the war yet, but if you're offering 300m, for the war to end, i'd gladly accept it
[05:26:39] Joseph Dreadloch > i'm not sure what you're talking about else wise
[05:27:46] Joseph Dreadloch > i think you may be associating my corp with someone else, this is the first contact i've had with you
[05:27:53] *WT CEO* > you have 2 members that started a war with us cuz they want isk from us and we are a ship building corp that dont like war and dont want to be in one
[05:28:10] Joseph Dreadloch > ok
[05:28:24] Joseph Dreadloch > so, if you give me 300m, i'll retract the war right this second
[05:28:41] *WT CEO* > win i tryed to surender it said i had to talk to you
[05:29:05] *WT CEO* > i have paid the other man already
[05:29:15] Joseph Dreadloch > what other man?
[05:29:25] *WT CEO* > they said they would leave and the dint
[05:29:40] Joseph Dreadloch > i don't know who you're talking about
[05:30:34] *WT CEO* > hag on and ill link them for you
[05:32:05] *WT CEO* > *Linked Character*
[05:32:17] *WT CEO* > that is the one that was paid
[05:32:41] Joseph Dreadloch > he is not associated with us, you're interactions with him were random
[05:32:50] Joseph Dreadloch > i represent dread space inc.
[05:32:59] Joseph Dreadloch > and have just declared war on you a few minutes ago
[05:33:45] *WT CEO* > that is the corp that started the war if you dont know this man then why you go to war with us
[05:34:00] Joseph Dreadloch > it is 2 separate incidents that happened to happen within a short amount of time each other
[05:34:17] *WT CEO* > he had a friend dont know his name though
[05:34:19] Joseph Dreadloch > i have no association with them, we are going to war with you because we chose your corporation at random
[05:34:24] Joseph Dreadloch > as my mail stated
[05:34:29] Joseph Dreadloch > we choose our targets randomly
[05:34:47] Joseph Dreadloch > i have no association with these people you're talking about
[05:34:52] *WT CEO* > that is not fare
[05:35:07] Joseph Dreadloch > if you pay ME right now, the war will never happen
[05:35:10] Joseph Dreadloch > and you won't lose anything
[05:35:13] *WT CEO* > it says they in your corp
[05:35:21] Joseph Dreadloch > who is in my corp?

[05:35:51] Joseph Dreadloch > i honor all of my ransoms, and i have for the years i've been playing this game
[05:35:59] Joseph Dreadloch > you can only trust my word, but my word is good
[05:36:23] *WT CEO* > is there any one that can back your word
[05:36:26] Joseph Dreadloch > if you pay me, no 'Dread Space Inc.' member, will engage you
[05:37:01] Joseph Dreadloch > our last targets paid the ransom, and we did not engage them
[05:37:06] Joseph Dreadloch > let me see if the ceo is online

[05:38:24] Joseph Dreadloch > *Former WT CEO* is the CEO, unfortunately he is offline
[05:38:55] Joseph Dreadloch > we only ask 150m, and you will lose nothing
[05:39:58] *WT CEO* > ok creature will pay it and if your men attack then what

[05:41:06] Joseph Dreadloch > and it will ruin the reputation of my corporation
[05:41:38] Joseph Dreadloch > NO ONE, from 'Dread Space Inc.' will engage you AT ALL, if you pay me.
[05:42:13] *WT CEO* > i dont want your corp to look bad you seam nice but if these people dont stop i need to do some thing and it said they were from your corp

An Unlucky Target
An hour or so later, a WT from another corp who we had assumed was a ghost corp now, with most members having left, and the remaining members perpetually offline, finally logged on. We scouted her location and moved an Ares and a 500+ DPS hound into position on the outgate from her system. It took her about a half hour to finally undock but our scout was semi-afk and didn't give us notice. So I was surprised when a Maelstrom appeared on my overview, and I started screaming for the corp rookie to tackle it in his Ares. To my dismay the Maelstrom warped off as the rookie returned to his chair and scrambled to put his headset back on. He had gone afk without informing anyone and I thought we had lost a juicy target. I preceded to chew the rookie out a bit, and told him I don't mind AFKing when you need to but be sure we at least know you're afk.
Meanwhile I was stalking the progress of the Maelstrom WT in my Hound and noticed she was heading towards Providence, but it didn't seem she or her corp would have any standings out there, so essentially she was backing herself into a corner, with her back against 0.0, and her only exit through us. So the rookie and I sat on her outgate, the rookie determined not to fail again, and sure enough a few moments later we had her tackled. I pounded her with my hound but the cap stable tank fit on the maelstrom was too much for my explosive damage to break, so the WT began trying to shoot us and after learning she couldn't actually hit us, she returned gate, and jumped back into the dead end.
Knowing I couldnt break her tank I called for the scout to log out, and log on his Tempest, a heavy hitter who did EM damage, the whole in the Maels tank. The Mael came back out a few minutes later, and again we tackled her and I opened up with my hound. The Tempest pilot informed me he was nearby, and we called for the rookie to de-aggress and we let the Maelstrom warp to the next gate in the pipe. The WT convo'd me, confident in her tank, unaware of what was on its way.
[02:49:36] WT Maelstrom > 07
[02:49:44] Joseph Dreadloch > o7
[02:50:00] WT Maelstrom > i dont understand why your still fireing lol
[02:50:16] Joseph Dreadloch > i don't like these missiles, want to get rid of them
**I can't break her tank, and she decides to linger**
[02:50:29] WT Maelstrom > hahahaha
[02:52:12] WT Maelstrom > so why the war deck
[02:52:24] WT Maelstrom > are you just looking for lol barge kills ??
[02:52:38] Joseph Dreadloch > just need to get rid of missiles
**She warps to next gate, with Temptest waiting**
[02:54:37] Joseph Dreadloch > and ammo....
[02:55:32] Joseph Dreadloch > o7
**I close the convo**
The Mael lasted about 30 seconds after the Temptest arrived.

Dread Space Log
So after last night I was convinced to start keeping a log of all the crazy things that happen to myself and friends in EVE online. I have hatemail logs, crazy conversations and such all saved in the notepad, but I'll just start with what happened last night, and maybe add some of my old stuff along the way.
So the night started with one of our wardecs going active, with several WT hulks and other smaller ships out in space. We were wondering if they were truly oblivious or what was going on. So we made a move and had a rookie in the corp sit on a gate a little ways down a highsec pipe that a retriever was traveling down, small stuff but I wanted the guy to get his first kill in the corp.
A few minutes later the retriever was dead, the corp rookie was happy, and I had accepted a convo from the WT CEO. Apparently they had paid the ransom we offered overnight, and when I logged on and immediately went hunting for targets, I hadn't even noticed. Now I've always at least been pirate affiliated in EVE, I've been an outlaw 3 times and ratted back, I've received my fair share of ransom payments whether its a fool I catch in a lowsec belt, or an industrial corporation in highsec, I always honor them and do not fly with anyone who doesn't.
So I apologized for the retriever kill and offered to reimburse the loss but the CEO didn't care too much, he was very brief and just wanted the war retracted. The ransom we asked for was probably pocket change for an established cap construction corporation, and a 10M ISK retriever was the equivalent of a nickle. Honoring this ransom was one of the hardest ransoms I've ever honored. A few moments after retracting the targets undocked all their exhumers and barges again and went back to work. I was sitting on gate in my Hurricane and literally watched as a hulk passed by, wondering if a character as old as the hulk pilot would be faction fit or not... eventually I warped off and started moving ships back to home base. If I stayed too long I might give in to the temptation of juicy... trusting... defenseless targets.
