I'll give a small war report from an indie perspective:

TCD Toxicated (another indie corp) attacks one of our alliance corps; we lose the first defense but win the next. Our alliance goes on the offensive but TCD hires or gets EoN ringers to fill their team. We get crushed.

Now 187 is attacking a lot of the indie corps on our planet and in our alliance.

So much for large corps and large alliances staying out of the indie wars. Now, to be clear before the trolls come in, Se\7eN doesn't care one bit. I thought it would be good to report on what is actually happening.

This will be a ton of fun, people. It almost feels like the beginning of WWII.

Happy Gaming!!!

Explain this, This afternoon a person named "BobThe 844-1 CakeMan" ended up entering a squad i joined with a good player named "Vethosis". In this squad while we were chatting Cakeman brought up the idea to make a channel, and he named it "Cakes Pub". During this, he told us how he was spamming literally everyone he knew and added as a contact, whether he really knew them or not he didn't care. Shortly therafter it started filling up with people (I was one of the first to join wondering why he was making this). And over and over he kept on going on about how it was so amazing that his channel was getting so packed so fast, he must have said it at least more than 5 times in the conversation. Now keep in mind, people were asking why he even created it, and his response was simply "for pure awesomeness and cake!", just a fun, little response. After listening to enough of the blabbing on and on about nothing dust related, i turned my voice off of the channel and went into some matches with some gents.

But things completely changed in about 5 hours from then. Apparently, while i decided to just go play skirm and leave their chat, they had 87 mil donated to them from their channel. They never mention who it was, or why they were given that. And apparently right after they recieved that donation, they immediately used it to purchase a clone pack and attack Osvetur. Keep in mind all of this had to happen in around the 5 hours i wasn't in that chat, if it actually happened in that chat as they said it did. But after looking into it, i found that they are quite friendly with... 187. Many different 187 members are found commenting on their "the cake is coming" thread post. Keep in mind, 187 also has attacks planned for Osvetur, 3 of which have been reserved since yesterday. And after all of this happened, where does this "indie corp" named "Murder Cakes of Doom" attack? Osvetur. You made it way too obvious 187.

In many ways this is a loop hole to secretly have an alliance while still somehow not formally being responsible for their actions. They gave them the money, told them what to do, and they acted. 187 is not acting as an indie corp, instead they are practically organizing an assault on an entire half of a 14 district planet, and that's not an overstatement. I'd think in many ways this violates what a lot of people consider to be an "indie corp".

And then cake of doom is filled with 187. Ringers.

Well, they were the ones who gave all of the money and told you "cakez awesum1!1!1!" guys where to actually attack in PC so...
