GNN Article on Battle (With the footage of the fight)

Final Update

Seriously don't understand the point in overtly making up a story when there already is a story to tell. FYI, for those reading, this is the account Grezkev setup for me (Olivia) to use on the forums and in-game. Grez will prolly be mad at me for posting this but whatever....

I don't usually get into this GNN v Dusters crap (because, let's face it, it's stupid....hell they still use OUR name but whatever)...this however is just beyond my ability to fully comprehend.

The battle was waged on Ashged III. It was not in space. The battle was a corporation battle between PRO and PFBH, agreed through the corporate purchase system. It was not a random interception.

What's the point of changing the story, when a story already exists? What's the point of trying to make up drama when there already exists a good deal of drama? At this point I have to call in the definition of the word "news":


In this context, I don't see how making up an event and reporting on the generalities of an ACTUAL event somehow breakdown into the concept of "news". This is the issue the REAL GNN has had with Dusters for years, especially back in the MAG days....changing reports (back then it was our reports) around to fit some sort of "general storyline" that Dusters made up. Heads up Dusters: CCP Makes the story, not you. The Community makes the drama and the development...not you.

Sorry, didn't mean to start drama and I know we'll hear more in responses about this....but I just felt the need to say something. The truth is available for anyone who takes the time to read it, and the MAG community all know it as well. Our posts are still up! History of the GNN Corporation.

u have got 2 be the most pitiful person on the internet. no one cares about your claim to GNN. if u have a copyright sue them. this is all for fun.

I for prefer the RP aspect and what they bring to this very bland, boring game. u pretend to be a real news organization and take things super cereal in this videogame? ITS ALL MAKE BELIEVE!! go get a life plz.

If this was in space (EVE, not Dust) 600mil ISK is worth nothing. Not even the space used to "report" on it.

So yeah...another score for the Duster's Blog...

go get a life plz.

Hmmm... last I checked we are playing dust... so what's your point?

Last I checked, cruisers aren't present in Dust...

EDIT: And I re-read it..."Normally this amount (300-600mil) of ISK is escorted by a flotilla of ships"....um...no. Just LOLno.

It doesn't matter who reports on it or even how they report it. CBJ+PRO still took probably the biggest "L" of DUST thus far.

The battle was a corporation battle between PRO and PFBH, agreed through the corporate purchase system. It was not a random interception.

Your article was just as guilty of sensationalising and misreporting the issue as Dusters Blog.

'Sources are reporting that last night a Planetary Response Organization cruiser shipment carrying between 300-600M ISK to a holding corporation facility, was intercepted by a striketeam of highly trained PFBHz operatives. No one is sure how the PFBHz obtained the intel or intended route of the cruiser, but within minutes they boarded the vessel, killed the entire crew including the protection detail and made off with a considerable amount of currency. Normally this amount of ISK is escorted by a flotilla of ships but for some untold reason PRO chose to go with a skeleton crew and small protection detail of mercs.'

Um... Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but ISK is an electronic currency.

You cannot transport ISK directly.
