Kail Mako Capital Acquisitions LLC 224	Posted - 2015.11.09 09:20:00 - [1] - Quote I haven't been around since the beginning, but I can give a brief history of what I remember. When I joined, NS was on top. They were a goddamn powerhouse. No one could even hope to touch them. I didn't really see much activity in MH until I joined Capital though. Being the first corp I joined that actually bothered to PC I was blown away by the skill of these guys. This isn't just me talking out of my ass either. Capital actually held the most MH for a period of time, but we'll get to that later. At some point in time ERA took the most of MH. I don't really recall exactly when, but I know that a lot of the big corps were in the same Alliance. "Big blue donut" it was called. **** started brewing when AE. left the Alliance though. Whether or not they were kicked, or left is not known to me. I just know that a lot of the corps left. Later on Capital started getting into a lot of fights with O.H. I hear that at the time O.H. was on DL's payroll. It was never very serious though, and rarely were districts actually flipped. However, somehow the fighting forged a bond, and the two corps teamed up to wipe out ERA. We took 13 districts in one day. I personally participated in 5-6 PCs that day. After that, nothing really happened that was noteworthy for awhile. Capital lost it's leadership, and we were dormant for the longest time. I don't know if it was before or after we went silent that we managed to take most of MH, but we started giving it away to smaller corps. Now, AE. has returned, and I honestly don't know the future of Dust. To me personally, it seems like corps are rising and dying faster than ever.

I didn't really see much activity in MH until I joined Capital Acquisition though. Being the first corp I joined that actually bothered to PC I was blown away by the skill of these guys. This isn't just me talking out of my ass either. CAP actually held the most MH for a period of time, but we'll get to that later. At the most pivotal point in time related to FF 14' (The Rouge Wedding), DNS took 98% of MH. I don't really recall exactly when, but I know that a lot of the big corps were in the same Alliance. "The One True Empire" it was called. **** started brewing when AE. left the Alliance though. Right about when Zatara and Fatal Absolution followed through on their original plan to kill DNS internally prior to being bought out. (LARGE FU+ºKING GAP BUT) long story short Fatal Absolution takes over 36% MH while in General Tso's Alliance... Later on Shep Grey petitioned to Zatara for Fatal Absolution to give up land to TSO's equally; Zatara approved by reducing down to 10%. On the surface, Cap was getting into a lot of fights with O.H. I hear that at the time O.H. was on DL's payroll. It was never very serious though, and rarely were districts actually flipped. However, Shep and OH leadership, alongside TOP and KEQ, struck a chord that would send Roman's boat crashing into ruin, Fatal Absolution and OH into an un-ressolveable blood feud, leading to the remission of Fatal Absolution, and the death of Murphy's-Law and Molon Label; TSO Alliance was defeated. We took 13 districts in one day. I personally participated in 5-6 PCs that day. After that, nothing really happened that was noteworthy for awhile. Capital lost it's leadership, and we were dormant for the longest time. I don't know if it was before or after we went silent that we managed to take most of MH, but we started giving it away to smaller corps. (ANOTHER LARGE FU+ºKING GAP) long story short FA awakens to war with OH... OH almost wipes them out Silly Rabbit breaks off FA to save FA by (becoming FAAAAaaaAAAmous ) resurrecting Negative-Feedback with Kane Spero OH almost wipes out FA (again) FA asks NF for help NF allies with FA to stop OH's warmongering OH is losing at this point... horribly NF decides to spare OH NF takes in OH refugees NF implodes due to this and fractions off to become a new AE, others return to FA AE takes in the same refugees it imploded over to wipe-out OH for good, as well as exhort peaceful corporations. Radar comes back and mercy kills OH Meanwhile...Capital was in Egbringer VII, sipping on mimosas... untouched I honestly don't know the future of Dust. To me personally, it seems like corps are rising and dying faster than ever. FTFY. It seems your a little off in some notes. Thanks for that. Tbh, not being in a leadership position, and ignoring a lot of the Dust politics I had no clue what other corps were doing if there wasn't a large movement. It's good to hear that there was actually a lot more backroom politics, and friendships than I realized. Or is that bad? I still think that NS was dangerous. At their height all of my channels would start lighting up warning me to stay out of ambush because they were stomping. No other corp has ever inspired that sort of fear.

Ask him yourself. For him to deny it would be an outright lie. Even he had to start somewhere. While you may well have been listening in on their convo, the greater context and implications at that time you are very obviously unaware of. Which is okay, it's probably better that way. Oh my god, does it matter? No! The point is, the general history, not backroom politics. At some point DNS was in charge. It died, and Tso's took over. It died. Somewhere along the way FA had the most districts, and then Cap had the most districts. Let's make sure we all agree on the big points before arguing about who did, or said what.

Whether bought, bartered or battled over the transference of ownership in MH is all political. The starmap is the illustrations to the story. You seem to think that the history of MH is the history of dust. While the most visible part, there's a lot more to it than that. I'd rather read something compiled by a bunch of mercs about their way through Dust, than something written by a bunch of mercs about MH. That could be a chapter, but everyone who's even been half paying attention knows the history of MH. Also, quit being a rage-quitter, and get your ass back in Cap when 1.3 drops.

His recollection matches up pretty well to my admittedly biased perception( except for discounting PFB... They were pretty good, even if they didn't realize the talent that they had in their depth). It is a mistake to discount PFBHz. The 16 that they played in early PC were all very good shooters, even if they did subscribe to the Pdiggy school of Tac AR and REs. Teamplayers picked up at least 6 fantastic geoup members from their split, the vast majority of which were PFBHz "B/reserve team" that they didn't realize were excellent. The leadership of that Corp placed too much weight in a certain skill set which included proficiency in a weapon that was bound to be nerfed and underestimated ability to function in a cohesive group as an arm of a command structure. I'm still curious how they didn't realize the potential of The Spinner though... Dude had everything they were looking for AND everything we expected of our team. There isn't a 16 man team that he wouldn't have make better, but I don't think they included him in their A team. Their loss. I was involved in every major war/conflict in PC for the first two years. From day one all the EoN wars and through DNS and up to Romans boat. Consider me a PC historian :) DNS was when I first became active in PC. It seems I missed all of the really good stuff. Well, except for absolutely destroying ERA. How do you destroy a corp? Take away 13 districts in one day, that's how. Officially recognized for advancing the science of getting bent.
