FTune

Fortune Inc. : Battleclinic Engagement History

I came home one day after a particularly bad day of work. In-game we had been toying with a small corporation with only 2 or 3 active war targets and I had been keeping my eye out for new targets. So when I found FTune, and being in a particularly bad mood... I said fuck it this is happening now, and contacted their CEO on an alt with 5k SP.

After some polite banter with the CEO I knew their hours of operation and their location, the only thing left was to get accepted to the corp to get the memberslist. Unfortunately as stupid as the CEO was, she had been advised to ask for an API key... from my 5k SP character. So being in my terrible mood, I told her to her face that I had been lying and I was an alt representing a small highsec war corporation. The CEO went on to plead with me not to wardec them, and offered me 200m instantly, which of course means you don't take it, they have more. so I demanded 500m and 10m per week or we wardec them. The CEO then invited a senior member to the chat who immediately took over and essentially told me to shove it.

So I declared war on them, and went over to their base of operations to try and get what memberlist I could from local. Before I even arrived I had gotten a convo from an FTune member and within 5 minutes he had sold me the entire memberlist for 5m and said he was leaving anyway, he hated the corp. Shortly after arriving the CEO invited me to a convo and offered me a deal, an Orca to drop the wardec. I gladly accepted and dropped the wardec but it didn't stop there. The CEO then offered me a spot in her corporation... oh did I mention the CEO was a 15 year old girl? Anyway... she wanted me to take over the PvP division and would put 500m in the division wallet for me and pay my division 50% of the corps profits to defend them. After digging deeper I found out that she received 100$ a week in allowance and spends it all on PLEX and just throws ISK at people, which changed my perspective. I would have had no problem robbing some asshole of 500m and leaving, but this was an extremely naive 15 year old girl spending almost $500 a month on this damn game. It would have almost been like literally stealing cash from a 15 year old. I was tempted to take up her offer and actually try to help her, knowing that she was going to get absolutely EVISCERATED in this game if no one did.

It took me a couple days to consider her offer, by then I had realized there was no way in hell I was going to be able to protect her corporation the way she was recruiting. It was literally inundated with spies, had 3 other active wardecs, and she had detailed descriptions of how juicy a target they were all over the forums. So I advised her to give the corporation up and go join another with her friends. Apparently this offended her because she became quite hostile from here on out. In the midst of her hostilities someone infiltrated the corp, killed 3 hulks and left. She also told me that she wouldn't be paying the 10m a week in protection money, and that I should screw off. So... I wardec'd them, my feelings of pity had vanished now that she backed out on a deal and had become hostile with me.

We proceeded to demolish them, killing a few barges and even a mininglink fit Eos. After a few days the CEO contacted me again and told me how much she hated me, and how I was a 'faggot' and an 'Internet bully' and that she was going to quit the game. To be honest this is what I wanted to happen, EVE is no place for a 15 year old girl looking to spend her parents money. I think that many other 'pirates' in my situation would have taken her for all that she had and inherited a corporation of slaves and 50$ a week from a 15 year old girl. So as much as she now hates me I believe the CEO got off easy, losing a couple ships and 450m in the form of an Orca traded to me. As of now she's in a new corporation by herself, and I think she really did quit the game... but its honestly for the best.
