Our upper limit for training requirements is 3 districts. One as a sovereign where we can regroup if needed and two that will in no doubt be in perma PC combat for our students to practice in a friendly fire enabled environment. The reason that we need 2 extra to Bojo's one is that we have a few more players that require the training.

It has been mentioned that we should stick to faction warfare contracts and were it not for the lack of friendly fire in them we would in all likelihood be doing just that. If CCP announced that friendly fire was to be enabled in all game modes save for pub matches, we would certainly rethink our strategy.

Some have said that our motives are nothing more than an attempt to gain ISK wealth with no desire to fight for it. Well, that wealth would come from selling excess clones but with a self imposed limit on districts and the fact that we expect very high clone attraction rates from training, we'll be lucky to break even. We're not in this for the ISK.

We have also merely asked for the community to respect our plans and for its support in our endeavour, we haven't demanded it. Any corp is entirely free to do what it wants in this regard.

We are a training corp. Our students may very well be your comrades when they wish to make their own mark. If we train as many as we can to the basics and beyond, then that only benefits us all. And as a training corp, we've no objection to have ads and links from any corp who asks, for our students to read and apply to. Even those that wish to attack us.

If you feel our goals are not laudable or worthy of your support then you must do what you feel you must. And we will defend ourselves to the best of our abilities. It's all training after all. I would urge caution however. Strategically speaking, I'm sure that there are many other corps waiting to see what happens on and just after 6 May. Attacking a University of new players maybe fulfilling a need to make a point or simply be just a laugh. But others may just be waiting to take advantage of the situation. I'd watch your flank while spending resources on attacking us or Bojo.

Its what I'd do if I were in their position.

If there was a little winky eye emoticon after that last line one could infer that there have been out of forum discussions on all of this. The Blue Donut Coalition will likely ensure your stability for the first month anyways with their misguided protest efforts.
