How about we bump it up a bit... 300 Mill ISK is just pocket lint right

300M/1300=230,770 ISK.

Why don't you put it up again if its so meager and your're so sure of PRO, after all everyone else beside PFB would struggle for it right?


Awful quiet all of sudden....chirp chirp chirp.

I would assume it's because if they WIN, they win what is for them "pocket lint". If they LOSE some other corp who would struggle making that kind of money gets what is, for them, a big payday.

The risk/reward doesn't make sense from their perspective.

You mean potentially crippling us, or humbling us, or putting us in our place, or simply demonstrating that Joe's Legendary FPS skills can turn the tides of battle aren't reason enough?



Man you really should encourage your "friend"(lapdog seems more appropriate) to stay off forums and let damage control be handled by the real leaders of your organization.


You can talk about risk/reward seems to me im not the one making statements and unwilling to put ISK on the line to back them up

What makes you think anyone cares whether you get "humbled" or not? I agree with you that Joe seems to enjoy being flippant and irritating some of you little specialized corps, but I find it entertaining.

The reality is, when it comes down to 8v8, at best, any 1 corp vs another is gonna basically be a 50/50 coin flip sort of situation. That's best case scenario.
The best pro could hope for is to get their very best guys online and fighting your best, but the difference in corp makeup/approach means that even with that scenario, you guys will have the advantage. Your corp is so small that your guys at this point are much more prepared for very small specialized battles. That's your territory and it would be foolish to pretend otherwise.

Why would a good leader wage a battle that's pitched in favor of the opponent? I doubt you guys would be willing to fight PRO at 15 simultaneous battles for 20 MIL each, would you?

Yes, clearly I'm a TEST "shadow boss" with my elite 0 days of Eve experience. I guess I'll take it as a compliment though.

I think however, that you miss the point of my 50/50 statement. I said AT BEST an 8v8 is a coin flip scenario. Put two great 8 man teams up against each other and who wins will come down to fairly random and hard to define variables. Anyone being honest would agree that your corp performs at a reasonably high skill level. So, even assuming that PRO could field an equal team of 8 to your own, they would still only be looking at, in reality, a 50/50 shot of winning.

Lastly, if you think Subdreddit has any hand in PRO's decision making, you haven't done your proper spai work. Believe it or not, but Subdreddit is not a major player in TEST politics. We are mostly a bunch of console FPS grunts, just like most of you guys. As long as we aren't stepping directly on the toes of our Eve side alliances we are free to do whatever the hell we want, as is PRO. No one tells PRO what they can do or say, that's part of the beauty of TEST. I know from the outside it probably looks like we are some sort of borg-like entity, but in reality our strength comes from the very opposite qualities.

Contrabanjoe and his PRO boys are a giant travelling circus, for better or worse. Telling those guys what to do would be like trying to herd cats man.

Mavado, the first system being opened up will have 250 districts, and that's just one small portion of the star map. If you want to hold even a single system you're going to need to set timers for 250 districts. That's over 10 timers per hour. Maybe other corps have no intention of actually holding a decent amount of Sov, and thus they wont need 100s of guys on at all times, that's their prerogative. That doesn't mean other corps don't have bigger ambitions.

The tears of Zerg corps are going to be amazing.

And how will PRO hold any districts at all when they go 10-150 in every match?

Your assumption seems to be that the corps that are populated mostly by closed beta FPS veterans will somehow continue to improve to the same degree as a corp consisting mostly of players who have been playing for a few weeks. I'm not at all convinced that this is a good assumption to make. It's going to come down to their ability to organize long term, as well as how the game ends up being designed. Just because someone is new now, doesn't mean they will be new forever.

I assure, this response will be the most relevant sir.
Wait for it... wait for it :wink:

I don't know why everyone doubts PRO. Even if only 1% of their members are amazing, they're still going to wreck anything they set their eyes on. They have the numbers, the money, and the skill to put forth a damn good team whenever and where ever they want, with a little bit of forward planning. And I bet they have more players online than any other corp in the game, 99% of the time. For them, the other night is just a little bump in the road.

A pebble sized bump.
We have already recovered all the ISK lost last night.

And then some ;)
Cheers Cat on that super secret project you just took care of... your work will be remembered, but never revealed!

Joe no respond. We can corp battle for 5mill I really do not care.

Joe I really don't buy this reason. There are so many easier ways to move corp funds. We all make mistakes.

@ Cat Merc you are truly a Forum warrior and a good I might just point out. Now only if you used that time and effort on DUST you might actually be fun to play against.

*Lastly any PRO member who feels they want to improve , or just want take their gaming to the next level. Please send me msg or apply. NF is always looking for new talent.
