You don't play monopoly with no money and ask for boardwalk at the beginning. Some alliance will own this planet but it wont be Dustbojouni

I see the logic in that but see the logic in this: http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/04/an-update-dev-blog-for-planetary-conquest/

The attrition table states that clone movement on the same planet regardless of laboratory is 100% Survival rate. If we let other corporations on the planet, wouldn't that be an enticement to conquer it, as they lose no money in the process of even starting the campaign? Even a 5% attrition rate is good for us because in the case of invaders, looking to hunt on easy prey rather than grow cahones to play with the big boys, it would give us a homefield advantage. Even though 5% isn't much of attrition rate, it's the only attrition rate that can be achieved in one solar system.

School: Filled with new players, learning to play. Corp: Out for money and fights. I have a school, we're not full of bloodlust mercenaries out to make money. We don't fight with you guys because we focus on training. We are admitting that we have weaker defenses than other corps, we're not built around fighting. So it's a pretty low brow move to take candy from a baby in layman's terms.

Merc's don't work for free? Why the hell have people been playing corp battles then? *Say it in Buk Lau voice*

I never considered BSOTT Neutral, that's DUNI's thing. And BSOTT is not joining any alliances.

Too many people not enough land? You'll tell me that when all of New Eden is open to mercs, and we like our food when it's hot.

EDIT: That came off as mean....what I want to get at is that Training Corps are inferior to other Corps in terms of ability to defend, and we're aware of that so we're just asking the big folk to lend a helping hand when/if space invaders arrive to take from us because we are easier prey. Those invaders would be taking the low road in my opinion that does not matter.

Maybe we should all stop talking about it and just wait for the opportunity to settle it and remind you how much worse your bark is compared to your bite.

Kadlina was considered. Unfortunately, it is part of the Tartatven-Elfrard megapocket. This megapocket will likely become the province of one or two of the kaiju corps within a month or so of Uprising.

From a district number standpoint, it is also too small to support the four combat TZs that DU is looking to host. Last I heard, the leadership of DU felt that they would need three districts to supply the clones to supply those four battles per day.

That is seven districts right there.

Wait... Kadlina has TECH MOONS...?!

Who says we don't have to pay ISK? Who says we won't have to fight? Who said anything of the sorts? I think you're point will be received as being lesser, because your corp in doing so will skip out on the planets of real worth.

Erm, I'm not a very good translator, but I think the theme of this post was closer to, "The imps are complete pricks, so we know they will try to take our planet just for ***** and giggles, so we would appreciate it if corps likeminded to us will lend a hand to us against them."

No offence, of course.

Actually, no.

Since we have no means of getting cash from outside, we have to grind ISK for Gen Packs, same as you.

We will end up fighting, perhaps daily, same as you.

What we are asking for is a pledge from anyone who wants to be taken seriously as a kaiju to leave us alone and perhaps to help us if we need assistance running off griefers and/or sharks.

Any corp that is worth fearing has absolutely nothing to gain by smacking down the colleges.

Any "big name" corp that attacks a college has proved that they are either too incompetent or too chickenkitten to fight the real badkitten kaiju corps. Everybody knows that a corp like Imperfects could roll either college. All that doing so would prove is that the attacker is completely unable to stand toe-to-toe with Noir, Orion, or the other kaiju alliances.

Honestly, given that some of the kaijus have their own colleges, maybe it makes sense to go for a different planet and pack `em all in- each school gets one district as a "campus" and everything else is a battle zone.

Personally, I'm not wedded to Hageldnofarbenabelfraggingumptiboop either. I gave a bunch of reasons why it made sense, but I was a bit surprised when DU and Bojo ran with it as THE planet. I figured that we should reach out to the kaijus and get their hit on things before we made any announcements about a particular location.

However, the value of a college planet to the overall progress of the game is considerable. One of the reasons for The Blue Donut in EVE is the lack of good learning opportunities. If you are not in a kaiju alliance, you have no hope of learning sovereignty except by blowing a few trillion ISK learning the hard way. If you are in a kaiju alliance, you have no hope of learning sovereignty because you will never get trusted with the power and even if you were, your NAPs prohibit invading your neighbors.

I'm finding this whole exchange fairly amusing.

Schools: Hey everyone, we want to be here, which is basically a terrible place for launching attacks on anywhere.
imps: **** YOU! WE WANT THAT NAO!
Schools: It's basically useless.
imps: **** YOU! WE WANT IT SPECIFICALLY SO YOU CAN"T HAVE IT!
Schools: Okay then. Anyone want to help us out here?
imps: **** YOU! YOU SHOULD HAVE TO EARN EVERYTHING!
Schools: Like you do, with AFK'ing?
imps: ARGH! WARDEC WARDEC!

it's honestly kind of sad, you imp guys are supposed to be good at this game, but all you seem to do is AFK, protostomp randoms, and now threatening to wardec schools? that's just low.

I'm still wondering why your corp is not in the Negative-Feedback [DEVHX] alliance.

Neither the DEVHX alliance description nor the description of its executor corp (IMPPP) list you as a diplomatic contact or spokesman.

The fact of the matter, Mr. Regnum, is that you and your heretofore unidentified-as-a-spokesman "director" came in here looking for a fight. You came here looking for reasons to beat up colleges because you are terrified that people no longer take you seriously. Hence the board spam the last few days and all the necroing of Imp threads.

Mr. Spero I respect. He does a lot of work for the community, participates in RP, and still manages to be tough.

On the other hand-

You, sir, are a troll and the sooner that DEVHX officially disowns you the sooner the rest of Dust will start taking them seriously again.

Why? Because threatening to beat up colleges is about as awe-inspiring as picking a fight with Ralph Wiggum.

You don't care about ISK. You just want to watch the world burn.

Bojo. Send me a mail in game and add Adanu on PSN if you want to talk defense contracts with the MSF. If you're paying, we'll defend.

Not really, you'll have to actually leave the MCC to fight them I've seen one imp do that. even a proto can't stop a zerg rush on their own, and I've seen dust uni(but no bojo's yet) those guys are not slackers on the field.

I'll give you nothing and light you on fire. Deal?

Neutral doesn't mean they have to like you.

You're forgetting the part where that defense is double sided, basically preventing them from attacking anything without developing specifically towards it, and last I heard, it was 12 districts with them wanting a total of 6 between the schools on that planet, as a maximum.
