Critical News Alert: Of Sound Mind Ejected from Provi Bloc, Alliance Set KOS!!!

At 03:00 on July 30th Of Sound Mind was stripped of blue standings from CVA and purged from OOG Provibloc services.  Several hours latter after last ditched diplomatic attempts failed Of Sound Mind was reset again, this time to KOS for all of Provi Bloc.

Events leading up to this reset have been building over several months with Xavier XV, the executor of OF Sound Mind, becoming more and more tyrannical in diplomatic relations with neighboring allies.  The final catalyst, while seemingly insignificant in itself tipped the flood of issues over the edge.

The event happened on the 25th of July in the Severance system of KBP while hunting a group of pirate macharials who are known to use neutral booster lokis.  A Sev3rance fleet and a SOUND fleet engaged at the same time and members of the Sev3rance fleet tackled a loki that was neutral to them.  It happened to be a neutral alt flying in the SOUND fleet.  Cease fire was requested in local and done so.  However a VOLT member who was in the area and who had engaged (and disengaged) with Severance made some comments in local.

[22:45:32] Jenny Rims > severance, i am not red  (Neutral Loki)
[22:45:57] b4dg3r  Jenny Rims is blue
[22:46:03] b4dg3r > stop shooting
[22:46:08] Crumeth > kill the cunt  (Uninvolved Individual)
[22:46:33] Leylla Gainsborought > lol#
[22:46:42] Heinrich Hoss > lol i stopped like 30 seconds ago
[22:46:44] Heinrich Hoss > y u so mad guise
[22:46:46] Heinrich Hoss > rage much
[22:46:47] Heinrich Hoss > :D

Fire on the loki by Heinrich had stopped according to logs provided at 22:46:07

[2013.07.25 22:46:07 ] (combat) 14 to Jenny Rims[O I](Loki) - Valkyrie II - Hits

As a response to the comments XavierVE ordered Heinrich killed in local:

[22:46:55] XavierVE > Time to die, asshole

The kill order was given fourty-eight seconds after Heinrich had stopped firing.  Heinrich was killed a minute latter at 22:48.

While the order to kill Heinrich was questionable it was not the end of the world.  Several FCs within the bloc have voiced they likely would have made similar decisions and in this matter where supportive of XavierVE's command decisions.  The problems begin in XavierVE's next comment in local.

22:50:34] XavierVE > Heinrich, send me one of your diplos, so I can tell him to put his dick up his own ass. Fly safe

Normal policy on blue on blue incidents is to reimburse the loss.  Initial diplomacy seemed to start out cordially (Ignoring the comments in local) with XavierVE notifying Volt Diplos why he had made the call and a firm refusale to reimburse.  VOLT diplos pushed, requesting the navy omen being reimbursed and requesting a apology over his local comments and tone.  After this point things start to get heated with VOLT threating to name SOUND a public enemy and XavierVE calling VOLT a pile of shit.

With mails flying around it is at this point that diplomats from Sev3rance and CVA get involved trying to calm the situation down.  Early Sunday (28th) morning Equinox officially requested that SOUND repay the omen.  In other discussions he was growing concerned with XaviersVE's attitude towards other diplomats and was concerned that he was going ot have to expell SOUND from the powerbloc because of XavierVE.

Xavier firmly refused

Hello Equinox,
With all the shit-slinging and drama that VOLT has stirred up over our killing of Heinrich for attacking a neutral alt of CVA's who was in our fleet, we're going to decline repaying the Omen Navy Issue to them. He does not deserve a reimbursement and we will not be providing one.
And yes, we know what that means.

In response Equi made the decision to request that SOUND return sov for which they would be fairly compensated.  At the same time a notice was sent out to CVA CEOs to make sure corporations were prepared for a Sov War campaign incase it came to this.  A internal mail was leaked to SOUND which was than forwarded to Equi.

Xaviers final response:

Hola Equinox,
We've done nothing to provoke the situation. With hostiles on field, I defended my fleet from someone while he smacked at us in local. I would do the same in any situation, no matter who was aggressing. We do not believe in subsidizing bad behavior. 

Our sin is defending a neutral from a hostile, shit-talking, resident of a holder alliance in Providence. That's not the Providence I remember from being a rank newbie to EVE, it's not the Providence that Aralis would be proud of. We have opened our space to neutrals, only to see them shot at again and again when we roam around by "blues." You are going to reset and attack us for defending our fleet and not rewarding people shooting at neutrals. 

What you call abrasive to everyone in leadership roles, I call talking plainly. You don't have to guess with anything my leadership team has ever said. We tell your our position, bluntly. If you want a cadre of weak-kneed leadership types afraid to speak their minds, so be it. It's just not who we are. 

Our position is as it always has been. That we should be left alone to practice NRDS in Providence with the KOS checker as a loyal ally, as we have done for years... and that people who shoot at neutrals in fleets be given no coddling when they whine about the consequences of that act. I'd argue with you extensively about this, but I know your mind is made up. 

It is your right to reset us and attack us if that's what you want to do. We will be in our home until our home is no longer accessible. 

Best wishes,
XavierVE
Alliance Leader
Of Sound Mind

Four hours latter SOUND were set to neutral by CVA and purged from provibloc voice comms and forums.  While standings had been reset to neutral and SOUND had lost most access (they retained regional intel access and access to the internal leadership diplo channel) they had not been made KOS as there were hopes that there still might be a diplomatic solution.  However after the station name change was noted and the banner on their killboard was changed showing that they had an internal spy who was screenshoting comments made by CVA members KOS admins made the decision to finalize the reset and SOUND were set KOS.

As of this moment Operations are happening in the area to remove usability and assets from SOUND systems.  All Provibloc members are encouraged to attend CTAs announced in P-Fleet.

Altogether these recent turn of events have sadden a large number of provi-bloc members.  Many have fond memories of working with SOUND FCs and members.  In the end, a post from another provi-bloc executor probably sums everything up best.

For the record I must state that SOUND are generally great guys, they have done a lot of good around Providence and certainly deserved their place among holders. They have and will always have my respect for their tireless efforts. However, when it comes to the past (few) week(s) there seems to have been a steady decline in diplomatic relations and civility. I was not there to witness it all personally, but from the logs I have seen, the language used by Xavier was fairly colorful. Since then they have blatantly posted screen shots of secure forums on their website, they have renamed their stations to taunt us further... 

It isn't that we don't want to back down... I, and everyone else in leadership, want a peaceful diplomatic solution... However, the choice isn't ours. This escalated in such a way that the ball is now in Xaviers corner... CVA and VOLT diplos did all they could to prevent this... and I still wish they would have succeeded... However, it seems SOUND has their mind set on war... why? no clue... 

If SOUND wants this to end... then they need to return to the table, sit down, and negotiate in a civil manner. They claim that all they want is respect... but the thing is... the way Xavier spoke to his allies... is respect-less... so if they want the respect that they deserve for all their efforts in Providence (because yes, they do deserve respect for that) then they need to, like I said, return to the table, sit down and negotiate in a civil manner. CVA and VOLT are not evil, I know them to be fairly reasonable and respectful... however, when met with a respect-less attitude and verbal abuse for days without end... what else can they do apart from upping the bet? Apart from issuing the ultimatum that was issued... 

So, sadly, unless SOUND returns to the table with a clear intent to end the fighting... no one in this will back down...

Apocalypse Now Announces The Construction of a New Outpost (68)

Huijgen, CEO of Organized-Chaos announced the construction of a new outpost in X-4WZD today:

Yet again Apocalypse Now. can add another station to its name. This morning we
installed the 4th APOC station, a Gallente Administrative Outpost. With this station
we have a station of each race in a 4 system radius ( including the one in S9X ).
At first we wanted the station to be a suprise to the alliance. Thats why no other
people where put in the loop of this project. But after 1,5 week the info that we where
working on this station was leaked somehow and we came to the conclusion that
people where feeling left out and really wanted to contribute. So we opened the
remainder of the project for donations. After opening for donations it took another
1,5 weeks for the remainder of the materials to be collected. 

 So in the end gathering all materials only took 3 weeks. If you are interrested what 

and how many materials you need to build a Gallente oupost you can press the
following link to see the sheet that I used during the gathering and building of the
egg.
                         

After those 3 weeks (and for that he deserves a special thank you) Shockwaves2009
who also build all station parts, assembled and build the station ''egg'.'
 I also want to thank the following corporations for donating several billions worth of Minerals, Pi goods and time. 

 Farstriders - 5er3nity inc - Burning Skies - N.U.R.S.E - PMW POSworks - Center Haus and REFORD an alliance operating out of x-4

Also a special thanks to Sienna and his gang for providing the freighter escort from 

highsec to our pocket. And also to all who helped defending while installing the station.
                          
I hope everyone who visits our pocket, may it be APOC , Coalition or blues enjoys this
station and can make good use of it.

Construction of Imperial Haven Announced (63)

The construction of the 63rd Outpost in Providence was reported after downtime tonight by Rovern Hashu, CEO of Imperial Dreams, in CVA alliance chat.  Several months in the making, this project was financed by donations from Imperial Dreams members.

Initial deployment was tense as a rouge THORN alliance manticore pilot logged into system just as the Egg was beginning its anchoring process, luckily the bomber pilot did not investigate why the freighter had been in system and logged off with 20-30 minutes left on the anchor.  The egg anchored with roughly 30 minutes to move all the materials in from the neighboring station in 3GXF-U before downtime, with a fleet of two arks and two Providences IG pilots were able to move materials safely with the help of several Polaris Project and 4th District pilots providing security and webs.

The egg was filled with several minutes to spare and placed into build, ending a night of frantic and stressful last minute hauling trips and efforts.

We at IG would like to first and foremost thank ourselves for the long-drawn out resource gathering process as the project was delayed for several months due to outside issues.  We would also like to thank Polaris Project members for titan bridges and freighter hauling as well as 4th district and other CVA members for scouts and escorts during the construction process.  Lastly we must thank one Balder Con for his acquisition of plutonium.  We couldn't have done it (as easily) without you.

This construction marks the 63rd outpost in Providence, reducing the number of systems without an outpost to 21.

C.F. Central Command Constructed (62)

January 26th saw the construction of the 62 outpost in Providence and the acquisition of Care Factors 3rd Outpost.  A Minmatar refinery built in G-B22J, the outpost has a beautiful backdrop of the nearby Plasma planet, G-B22J IV.

The construction of C.F. Central Command brings the regions total to 62 outposts in 84 systems, leaving just 22 systems without outposts.

(61) Basilica of Maxentius Finishes Completion Ahead of Schedule

The Amarr Outpost "Basilica of Maxentius" was opened for business on December 20th, 2012.  Several days ahead of the previously announced schedule.  Tasha Diabolique of Silent Infinity made a press release

Silent Infinity [AFK] is pleased to announce the birth of our latest factory outpost in H-GKI6.  This Amarr Manufacturing facility has an upgradeable number of build slots with fitting, factory, cloning, and repair basic services.  

This outpost is named after the historical Basilica of Maxentius in Rome which was the largest building in the Roman Forum using the most advanced engineering characteristics.
Many thanks to the following who made this possible:

• Magic Crisp the builder of the facility, his director Aeryn Zarniwoop, and his corporation Amarrian Micro Devices [-AMD-], who obviously enjoys building the tiniest of EVE’s devices.  Amarrian Micro Devices members who hauled slaves (yes slaves) for the glory of the Amarrian empire to complete the build.  This third outpost build project completion was temporarily named “Another Micro Device” at birth.

• Knights Introna, CEO of Space Underground [SUPNY] the corporation that fully funded this project and retains ownership of the outpost.

• Our friends and allies in CVA for the support given to us to aid in our growth and development.

• Veldspar miners all over Providence and Domain.

Moons are freely available to blues with advance permission.  Neutrals must apply to be blue before consideration.  Please contact Raely, executor of Silent Infinity [AFK] about moon availability and standings by evemail with your request.

Magic Crisp also had several comments on the completed outpost...

This one went well, no messing up, no adventures, apart from sneaking freighters through KBP with reds, all around a good job.

With the completion of this outpost, 61 of Providence's 84 systems now have outposts.

December 10th Report

December 10th saw several important engagements across Providence and Lower Domain.

A Hellcat fleet was formed to assault the Tribal NEO moon in Ziriert but ran into problems forming up when the staging system in Providence was camped by a 100 man HBC Sniper Oracle fleet.  After some maneuvering the HBC fleet was lured over to i7s, allowing the fleet to fully form back in d-gtmi.  Using cruiser tackle, the Hellcat fleet than manged to engage the oracles in I7S.  After skirmishing the Oracles pulled out and were pipebombed by an unrelated RnK fleet a few jumps latter.

After the I7S engagement the Hellcat fleet moved on to its primary mission, the Tribal Neo POS in Ziriert.  While the POS was destroyed several of the modules became bugged, retaining their 99% resists that they receive in reinforcement mode even with he tower itself destroyed.  This forced the fleet to sit in Ziriert for over an hour, waiting for CCP GMs to fix the issue so that 4th could erect their own POS.  During this time Fleet Command was handed off to another FC.

Beyond this point the information I personally have is a bit sketchy.  For some reason the Hellcat fleet was titan bridged to 9uy were they engaged a PL Rohk fleet.  Out gunned and outmaneuvered, PL manage to severely cripple the Providence Hellcat fleet who were forced to withdraw.

November Reviewed: Increased HBC Activity in Providence

The last several weeks has seen a lot of excitement, action, and bruised nerves as South Providence has seen a heightened presence of HBC activity.

Things started at the beginning of November with several attempts by Tribal and friends to hit 4th Districts Neo moon in Ziriert.  The first initial assaults were defeated by Providence Coalitions in for the most part overwhelming wins but the tide turned when HBC jumped the repair fleet after the last Tribal hit on November 18th, destroying the POS and replacing it with a Tribe one.  Providence forces began pinging and incapping modules over the next few days before reinforcing the POS.  The POS came out in late US tz on the 23rd and when Providence only managed to turn up with 40-50 man fleet, they decided to try to skirmish with naga's instead of using a heavy doctrine to face the 150+ HBC man fleet.

After a bit of roundabout smacking and shitposting by various affiliated and unaffiliated individuals on the Kugutsumen forums, Providence rudely awakened a few days latter to a PL tower in the TETIC system of FSW.

On November 29th PL SBUed FSW resulting in the loss of two PL carriers and several thrashers.  On December 3rd PL once again SBUed FSW resulting in a BC flight between several Provi BC fleets and a HBC drake fleet.  The SBUs (the PL ones and the CVA ninja'ed SBU) were all destroyed.

On top of the hostile POS and SBUing several CVA jumpbridges have been incapped several times by PL supercapitals.  While the disruption to travel in Providence has been for the most part fairly minor, it is cause for concern as PL supercapital activity in Providence continues to grow.

As of right now Residents are advised to be wary of moving expensive cargo and ships through the jumpbridge networks and to utilize intel channels heavily when they do to avoid unnecessary losses.

In Response to the Mittani

In the article 'What's Going on Down South?" by Baghei posted on TheMittani, several comments were made involving CVA and the Provi Bloc.

Meanwhile, TEST’s Montolio and diplomatic team were hard at work making sure that -A- could not easily escape North through CVA space by conducting secret negotiations that led to CVA being promised ¼ of Catch to box in –A-.

In response Equinox Daedalus released an internal memo and a comment on theMittani denying these comments.

Well being as I'm the XO of cva its news to me : ).

TLDR - only merits/convo's with people in test as far as i'm aware were in regards to retaining our agreements with regards to "new" next door neighbors along the same lines we had with -A-.

CVA as an alliance strives to maintain our NRDS tenants as well as our goal of Operation Deliverance in providence, be it through diplomatic means or force if needed.

I'd assume if we had some sort of arrangement to drive -A- out of catch TEST and their associates wouldn't be removing CVA assets from providence on a regular basis that would only make it more difficult for us to do any task along those lines.

The Provi bloc runs a rather strict policy of neutrality in all major conflicts of New Eden.  While we are not above working with KOS entities for individual incidents (Goons Vrs -A- Dreads in HED, Goons vrs Tri in 09, IT vrs Provi Squatters, etc.) we try very hard to stay out of larger conflicts and to provide a place for people to fly and live without getting involved.

The agreement referenced but Equinox was a no-sov warfare agreement which was limited to not dropping SBUs and assaulting sov structures such as TCUs, IHUBs, and outposts.  Generally JB infrastructure was also not touched although there was an incident or two involving cyno jammers.

D-GTMI JB lost to HBC Bait Attack

Elements of the HBC reinforced the D-GTMI jumpbridge this weekend in an effort to prompt a fight.  Alas the timer of the jumpbridge POS ended up latter than ideal.  Regardless ProviBloc geared up to attempt to defend the POS with the key handicap intention of denying capital kills.  ProviBloc formed a 110 man Naga/Nado fleet with around 10 logistics.

HBC deployed over 150 (including 7 dreads and 2 supercaps for the POS kill) men including a Rail Rohk Fleet and a Geddon fleet.  While Provibloc attempted to skirmish the firepower and size of the HBC fleet was too great and ProviBloc was forced to withdraw and seed the field, resulting in the loss of the Caldari POS and jumpbridge.

CVA and ProviBloc elements thanks those who were involved and notes those who didn't show up for a bloc wide CTA.

Trouble in Voltland?

As many are aware, there was a bit of excitement last week in North Providence.  Last weekend, Snigwaffe reinforced a CSAA pos in the Volition Cult's system of SI-I89, prompting several days of CTAs, counter sieges, and fights.

The inital fight on the 28th saw the POS being reinforced with a rather evenish subcapital fight (http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=15015825)

On the 29th a neutral staging POS that provibloc had reinforced came out of Ref and was very quickly dismantled by a major Provibloc CTA (http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=15031301)

Things came to a finale on the 30th when the CSAA came out.  Around 15:00 another staging Pos was destroyed (http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=15043432).  Provi forces locked down the system with the newly installed cynojammer and a heavily bubbled entrance.  However hostiles brought a signficantly larger force.  With 150-170 hostile Fox-cat fleet using massed logis instead of triage carriers, they quickly forced the Provibloc fleet off the field and destroyed the csaa pos.  What was actually in build changes depending on the rumor one hears.  While a nyx bpc was reported to have been dropped by the csaa the report from the owners (that I am aware of) was that the supercarrier in build was a wyvern.  Regardless the loss was felt by the owners and our sympathies go out the the owner.

Despite the loss of the CSAA good fights were had.  The Volition Cult extends it's thanks to all those who helped participate in the attempted defense.

Hi guys. I just wanted to pass on my thanks for your support of  VC and VOLT in SI on Tuesday. Your effort and losses were appreciated by all. Good to know we have friends who will try to help even though the enemy can be overwhelming.  It will be an honour to fly with you all in the future.

~Goggles Deudigren, Volition Cult, The Volition Cult, TheCitadel Forums:Allied Discussion 

More importantly, those who failed to show up have been noted.

Edit Note: Thank you to the anon commenter who correct my mistake, hostiles were in foxcats, not slowcats (slow cats = sentry carriers foxcats= navy apocs).  Too many cats I say!

The 54th strengthen their Catch Holdings

With the falling of the main Red.Overlord systems and the mass evacuation of their assets from Null Sec, WildCard Trek of Corp 54 saw a potential opportunity to acquire the catch system of ERVK-P for Operation Deliverance.  After receiving official blessing, Wildcard approached the R.OL corporation who owned ERVK-P and offered to purchase the system (paying for the TCU and IHUB).  ERVK-P had served R.OL and other Southern Coalition alliances as a cyno chain link, providing a vital link for deep south entities to low-sec.

After quick negotiations the owning corporation in Red.Overlord agreed and on the 9th of October dropped sovereignty and seeded the TCU and IHUB to Corp 54 of CVA.  Within hours of the onlining process being started, north catch entity Cha Ching PLC took notice and began to interfere.  First by starting the online procedure on a TCU of their own in system and by bringing a 30-40 man drake fleet into system to begin engaging the 54th TCU.  Providence forces formed immediately with CVA fielding an armor oracle fleet and -7- deploying a reinforcing drake fleet.  Opting to travel conventionally instead of by the accustomed titan bridge, CVA forces arrived in system and drove the Cha Ching forces from the CVA tcu where they had been attempting to incapacitate a warp disruptor on the guarding POS.

The combined Providence forces quickly routed Cha Ching, inflicting over twenty causalities for now losses.  (http://kb.cva-eve.org/?a=kill_related&kll_id=249278).  Several hours latter Cha Ching made a second attempt at disrupting the onlining process of the TCU and were similarly beaten (http://kb.cva-eve.org/?a=kill_related&kll_id=249299).  After these two engagements the TCU and IHUB were safely onlined and the system secured, increasing the 54ths holdings in Catch to three systems.

ERVK: Update station was flipped at the end of October 16th.  System fully under CVA control now.

5KG-PY II - The End of the Line (60)

On October 7th, Firestar Inc. opened the newest CVA outpost, "The End of the Line" in the dead end system of 5KG-PY of the QBL pocket.

Reverend Cutter from Deus Fides Empire was once again there to preach and bless the new outpost.

*emote Activates the system wide coms from the small chapel deep in the hull of the Archon class carrier “The Will of God”*

Hello and good day everyone. We are here to bless this, the newest station in Providence number 60! and of course celebrate that once again we have proven that our way of life is the only way that one should live among the stars.  Happy in obedience to God, The Empress, the Theology Council, CVA, the Holders and our system of NRDS. These things are of course the legs or columns if you will, of which our way of life is built.  The call of reclaiming illuminates my heart every single day that I breathe and for sure that must be your goal also.  Service to God the Empire and the Empress is what we all strive for, whether you are Amarrian, Caldari, Gallente, or Minmatar!

We are showing today that we have reclaimed this space for the Empire and the Empress, for God and of course for the Holder union of alliances. We are doing what God has commanded us to do.  "I give to you the destiny of Faith, And you will bring its message to every planet of every star in the heavens:Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim that which I have given."- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 22:13

What does this mean for you?  As we all know, we live in trying times right now. We have seen great upheavals in the large coalitions of the north and the south of us, but I can tell you now in our present situation that we are profiting from these times.  They teach us to trust our Ways, humble ourselves before God, and the Empress, to turn with unfeigned Repentance and Praise GOD in every system we have.  God’s judgments, given to us through the Empress and the Council show us that no other way of life or system of determining who is hostile works, or is even worthy of our attention.

Maybe you do not believe me?  CONSULT your Conscience, and then tell me---Should we not hearken to the Voice of God, speaking to us in his Judgments, and calling us to our destiny of reclaiming?  Can we look for his Favor or Pardon, if we stop now or change our trusted ways?  Or expect his Blessing, if the Cry of our Sins continues to enter his Ears? Would it be right in us to repeat or multiply our Transgressions, when all that is dear to us, or valuable in this universe, is at Stake?

I TRUST that these Considerations will sink deep in our Minds, and produce suitable Effects.
Let us not defeat his gracious Designs to reclaim and save us all.  Sincerely lamenting our past Sins, which have been committed against the clearest Light, the dearest Love, and the most transcendent Mercy,  let us prostrate ourselves before God, implore his Pardon and then by his Grace, to amend hereafter, to worship him, and walk devoutly only in his Ways, do only his bidding so that eternal God, be ascribed immortal Praise, Glory, and Dominion, henceforth, and for evermore.

Amen.

This marks the 60th Outpost to be constructed in the region of Providence.

Eternal Evocations Moving On . . .

This past week saw Providence lose one of its holders.  After internal deliberations the membership of Eternal Evocations decided that they would like to try something else and to leave Providence.  After a peaceful evacuation E.E handed over their sovereignty.

With the loss of E.E Providence is experiencing a bit of a shuffle of the current holders and the introduction of a new holder.  Long-term NRDS extremists and Providence residents, Yulai Federation are moving into the bulk of Eternal Evocations systems, taking control of XHQ and the entire JEIV-E pocket.  Silent Infinity have inherited the H-GKI6 system within their pocket which had previously been E.Es.  And finally the alliance 'Of Sound Mind' has joined the ranks of Providence Holders and have been given the E.E system of 9-fob and the -7- system of 4B-NQN.

Currently it is planned for Yulai's previous systems to go to CVA, at least temporarily.  Potentially we may be introducing a new holder and Apocalypse Now. are likely to receive a system or two however no concrete plans or decisions have currently been made.
