I feel it is needed to clarify on a couple of issues discussed within this thread. The dyst0pian Corporation has NEVER once used ringers before this, period. We have fought against great corps like Betamax, D3LTA FORC3, and What The French all without ever calling in a ringer.
I and my corporation have actually existed in game since closed beta (it feels like just yesterday PFB's were recruiting in my local). During closed and opened beta i managed to get my corp member numbers into the mid 40's, half of these members were on just long enough for me to recruit them and then never played the game again. Then i lost more members when Uprising was deployed. Right now my active member count is in between 8-14 people on a good day. So I felt it was in my best interest to join up with an alliance while i worked on getting my active member count back up. KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND are part of that alliance.
After fighting those awesome matches with the above mentioned corps my clone count had gotten dangerously low and I hadn't made any ISK off the district in about two weeks and was looking forward to getting my clone count back up because after locking a couple of my comrades down on their districts my corp was very low on the ISK. Then here comes MSF, they attacked my district and within five minutes of getting Concords notification I was in a private chat with VicBoss. I told him I was busy with other projects at the time and if it would be alright to reimburse him for the clone pack if he would not show up, but let him know he was more than welcome to attack me at a later date.
I told him i would deposit the 30 mil ISK after the battle had finished and I had confirmation that no one on their side had shown up. He agreed to this and I thanked him that was the end of the conversation. Then the next day about an hour and forty-five minutes before the match I received an email from a director of MSF that the price was 40 mil ISK to be deposited into the corps account before the match.I explained to him this was not the agreed upon arrangement and that i did not even have the 40 mil ( I only had 33 mil) I received an email back pretty much stating that the deal had changed, I told him I did not have the funds -- and even if I had had the funds I would not have paid anything but the reimbursement for the clone pack -- and also that I would see them on the battlefield.
So I set off to rally the troops and after we got some people up we realized we were short by 6 players, that is where
STB comes in. KNIGHTZ told me they had hired some STB for a match they had earlier that day against the same corp and said they could see about getting me a squad of them for a small price to help out in my PC (and to be honest both matches only cost me 20 mil which was 10 mil less than what i was going to pay MSF and 20 less than what MSF was wanting). After the match had ended I was re-attacked by MSF immediately and and so iI contacted an STB member again -- as even though I was on Oddelulf I feared they may "try" to take the district from me and I just wanted to stop them right in their tracks and send a message to back off -- the member suggested a full 15 roster of STB (but at a price of course). This sounded like an excellent idea to me and at the time was unaware of the rule about ringers in Oddelulf battles.
To say it was "protection" money when I have faced far better corps than MSF is laughable. And Vic you weren't even present in that second match, but i remember your personal stats from the first one -- and I figure 'hey lots not leave anybody out' right? --you personally came in 12th in the first match which happened to be the same position as me although I had you beat in war points. |
