Short notice? We started reaching out to you guys 12 hours before we finally played.

We're going on 3 days now, still nothing confirmed. 12 hours seems like awful short notice now, doesn't it?

This is what they do. I'm sure if we let them, they will end up throwing another hissy fit and pretending like they've some how gotten a raw deal again...

So look, here's the deal GIANT.

You've called us out, after already losing to us. We are supposedly scrubs with nothing to offer, right (again, disregarding the fact that we've already beaten you on your terms once)?

So, it can be assumed that you can beat us on our terms right? I mean hey, anything we can do, you can do better.

So, here are MY terms since you don't seem interested in taking Outlaw's terms (Outlaw's terms were designed to FAVOR YOU, no us):

NEXT WEEKEND

Starting SATURDAY, March 23 1700 GMT (12:00 NOON EST)

Ending SUNDAY, March 24th 1700 GMT (12:00 NOON EST)

10 overlapping Corp battles per hour, for 24 hours straight.

The Corp that wins the most battles is declared the winner

No ringers, legitimate corp members ONLY.

We'll make it cheap to make sure you guys can afford it without issues, only 100k per battle (24 Million total on the line per corp).

You'll only need 80 guys online and playing at all times for 24 hour, surely any corp seriously intending to make a dent in New Eden can handle that, right?

You've got 24 hours from now to give us a definitive response. (deadline is Thursday March 14th, 20:00 GMT).

You I shall ignore as requested by dent, cause dent seems like a good guy and I have a policy of not picking those that carry a steel lunch box and ride the short bus to school.

I'm sure we've got some more newbros who would be interested in another corp match with you guys. For the record, we would have been perfectly content with a DQ, to act as if we were trying to somehow manipulate the situation is, at best, disingenuous. We weren't being manipulative, we just didn't really give a **** about the hokey little tournament and were perfectly fine taking a DQ over fighting a meaningless match that no one in corp at the time cared to participate in on short notice.

I guess you're not as confident about your guys as you pretend to be.

For him, "**** talking" means not saying "thank you" and inflecting his voice upwards a bit at the end of his sentence when he tells you how much he likes you. :)
Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 892	Posted - 2013.03.14 07:00:00 - [5] - Quote Your boys are the ones that stirred the pot, not ours. We haven't even heated up yet. You guys wanted to call us out, and now we have responded with a call out of our own. Your corp fights battles, my corp fights wars.

Subreddit too, is a noteworthy corp. We haven't called Subreddit a bunch of "scrubs", not sure why some of you think we said that. The last match we had against Subreddit, we had a screwed up start, and we think we both deserve a good match with everyone putting their hardest game out, without dealing with technical errors, within reason. All CookieStein did was state some facts and intentions. No need to get vitriolic over anything. lol Smacktalk is a part of competitive sportsmanship, of course, but lets wait for the results shall we? :) Yes, let's keep it civil. We are not a bunch of sweaty-palms teenagers are we? Whatever the outcome of the match if there is after-action talk, I am expecting all of our guys and all of GIANT members to keep respectful attitude toward eachother in the forums. Agree, unfortunately your guys have made that hard to maintain since the OP, your level headed mature attitude seems to be in the minority for Subdreddit, at least within this thread anyways. Why so passive aggressive?

I say good luck to us all and lets battle. As for the verbal battling and trolling, I personally have expressed my enjoyment witj having good matches witj and against stb through in game mail and the like, I enjoy a really good fight against a rival corp. As for subdreddit, haven't talked much but Ive seen u often in battle. In any case, words are words....all will be settled on the field.LETS GET IT ON! Too bad you guys are afraid to fight us for real. There's still time for you guys to save face and accept our challenge.
Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 940	Posted - 2013.03.15 01:13:00 - [8] - Quote Well, technically your TIME IS UP, GIANT. It's a bummer too, our guys were looking forward to getting in a real fight for once. It gets old watching everyone posture over these bush league 8v8 patty cake matches. So, here's the deal, when you guys are ready to put on your big boy pants and step up to our level, we'll be here waiting for you. And just a little tip: Next time you want to step out of the kiddie pool and wander into the deep end, you might wanna make sure you're wearing your floaties boys.

We aren't kings wagering our serf's crops you knucklehead. If you want to make a wager like that with my corps money, my CORP needs to get to participate, not 8 dudes. I'm not Mel Gibson and you're not that German guy that hosted SNL and always plays bad guys. Men don't fight with other people's money kid.

If other corps find it ridiculous, it just means they aren't yet on our level, plain and simple. Most of these corps are preparing for battles, we've been preparing for wars. If you other folks think 10 battles an hour is a LOW number, I think you're going to be pretty heavily underprepared for the game ahead.

Corps wanna talk trash about 8 guys and imagine they have an army, it's freaking ridiculous. who is talkin trash? u hurt my feelings assuming such things all i suggested was a revision of ur idea based on what the dev blog presented because im bored. why do u assume we underprepared? Why do u assume CCP will turn this game into a zerg = autowin game? thats pretty boring tbqh especially for an FPS and pretty sure in EVE as well based on what i constantly read. U have ur ways of recruitment i have mine. This game wont last forever and i sure as hell wont hav a bunch of numbers on my team just for the hell of it like PRO. We build tight knit grps that enjoy playing with each other and competitive by nature We wont break our philosophy just cuz some game requires zerging to hold some virtual land. We will find ways to make our way work and have fun doin it. Whether others deem that successful or not i really dont care what matters most is that we get fights and we have fun. Sov is just a means to get fights. my point is that people all want to challenge and judge us on the terms that THEY are preparing for, and then can't seem to fathom that maybe some corps simply have different priorities. So, we have begun challenging people on OUR terms, to show that, we too, have things that make us powerful and cannot me matched by most other corps. It's a reminder not to so narrowly define victory, but also a legitimate challenge we are making in an attempt to get more of our guys involved. Other corps may be able to claim the strongest 1-8, because that's been their goal, but I'll put our 50-300 up against anyone's and I think we will shred through them like bitter. If you don't think Subdreddit is going to be hitting an average of 10 district battles per hour, you don't know us very well my friend.
Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 944	Posted - 2013.03.15 17:26:00 - [12] - Quote Lastly, I know I've come off like a real pit bull in this thread, but it's because it was clear GIANT needed some persuading to get going. There was a lot of talking, but not a lot of walking. I still wish someone would take us up on a real fight that utilizes an actual corporation size of participants, but it's seeming more and more clear that such an endeavor is beyond the scope of most other corps as of yet. In all seriousness, best of luck to GIANT tonight. I wish you guys no ill will, even if I do think you're afraid to fight a war rather than a battle. I know Dent thinks most of you are good guys (I haven't had any real exchanges with you folks outside the aptly titled "war room"), and Dent's assessment of character carries a lot of weight in my book.
Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 944	Posted - 2013.03.15 18:06:00 - [13] - Quote Something to be aware of: BLACK SCREEN BUG There's a pretty big bug that has surfaced with today's build. A lot of guys are getting black screens, a lot of the time. The bug forum is full of these threads, our own guys are experiencing it regularly. So, expect a likely very buggy match and prepare accordingly. I don't want you GIANT guys being surprised when a couple of your guys end up incapacitated, we want a fair fight. I haven't checked it out, but I'll be on in a few hours to see how bad it is. If it's actually as awful as it sounds and you guys want to reschedule, we are willing to entertain the idea. If it's not a concern, so be it. I'm down either way really.
