Silent Infinity Response to EveScribe Article
Back in April NC. attacked several CSAA's belonging to Silent Infinity. Eve Scribe wrote what was for the most part a well written review of what had happened like the vast majority of his eve news posts but towards the end he got a bit speculative. (Article Here). Needless to say AFK leadership was furious. After some attempts to get the article taken down or at least the false speculation removed Tasha of AFK has had enough and released this statement on the AFK website:
EVE Scribe Reporter Flees Providence After Reporting Inaccurate Facts
I'm TASHA DIABOLIQUE, CEO of Forging Industries, Providence Sov Holder.
In the early morning hours on April 15th one of my corps CSAA POS in null sec was attacked by Northern Coalition. The attack mail came in with no prior warning, as many of us were either in bed or about to be. CVA's senior FC Dyntheos asked me if I could adjust the strontium timer to peak CVA hours so CVA could help, but the tower was reinforced in minutes giving us no time to adjust said timer by removing some strontium. This is why the tower came out so much later than is normal for CVA fleet times. I checked at that time to make sure the CSAA was in fact empty of all but a tiny bit of temporary raw ore stored and heavy water used to compress it and the POS owners personal effects, and that there was no current job running on the CSAA. It was in fact not doing anything as intended.
Here are screenshots of what was actually in the CSAA, it was certainly a nice kill, but nothing showing a titan being manufactured or intent for one, only personal use:

www.silentinfinity.com/H-G_CSAA/POSFUEL.jpg
The use of CSAA in Silent Infinity space is not only allowed but openly encouraged, unless you are actually building anything with it. If you compare the storage space of 155mil m3 on this item to that of a regular Corporate Hangar Array, its not hard to see why miners would prefer it for large quantities of raw ore. For corps with only one or two Rorquals pilots who prefer to compress on the weekends or for individuals, the extra storage is very handy throughout the week to keep the miners busy instead of worrying about full hangars.
So what was said by Eve Scribe?
"However, contrary to these official responses, a claim was raised that the Capital Ship Assembly Array in question was not, in fact, lying idle until the moment of its destruction, but was actually in the process of producing an unknown ship, either a Mothership or Titan class ship. An information leak allowed the owners of the Tower to empty the Capital Ship Assembly Array well before the time of the attack, thus saving the materials from being lost.
Further more, it has been speculated that the ship in production was not intended for a pilot who is a part of the Providence Bloc, but a client outside the coalition, possibly either from the CFC or a former member alliance of the RUS Coalition. This theory can be given credence by the fact that there is little to no use for this class of ships by members of the Providence Bloc, nor readily available capital to purchase one easily."
Because these remarks are very inaccurate I asked the reporter to edit them out to include the truth, which he refused because he believes the claims from the enemies interviewed over the actual facts that have been told to him by myself, and my capital manager Nero Draconian. He interviewed Nero Draconian for the article, but threw out all his comments giving him two lines of text compared the the enemies twelve lines of speculation. He gave me the option of denying the allegations but given how he's already slanted things I prefer to do that through long time trusted sites. The simple matter of the fact is we do not support nor were we building anything for the CFC.
I mentioned that if he did not write the unbiased truth about what happened I would file a KOS to get CVA diplos involved, so the reporter who printed these false rumors immediately packed his things and fled Providence. He threatened to write another inflammatory article as you can see in excerpts of his mail below. He refused to talk to me about the misinformation personally, and asked to hide behind his CEO. I wrote his CEO to let him know that the KOS filing would not be to actually shoot them but the let CVA's diplos get involved, but the fear of CVA is evidently enough to send this journalist running for the hills. -------------------------------- Link to original article: http://evescribe.blogspot.co.il/2014/04/news-n3-coalition-destroys-providence.html -------------------------------- From: Salivan Harddin

As I stated to oakey1, I have zero interest in protecting the sovereignty of Providence at this date, due to repeated abuse by a few of the sovereignty holders. I am human, and have a moderate tolerance, but things have reached a point which made me basically quit the game for a whole week, something that I wouldn't have dreamt off just a few weeks ago. I evaccuated non essential ships from Providence and will continue to report the news, but I will only be fighting to protect the sovereignty of friendly sov holders only Alliance's that showed respect to me both on a professional and individual level.
Should a KOS request be filed against me, even if it is unsuccessful, I have informed oakey1 that I will be forced to report it on the EVE Scribe, and use whatever contacts in my disposal to get a wide print for the story "Silent Infinity Alliance Tries to Silence EVE Scribe Reporter". I admit that I have very few tools to retaliate, but I will report the truth, as it is revealed to me, and from my own experience if must be.
I can say whatever I want, I can write whatever I wish, but I have always, ALWAYS abided by the highest laws of Journalistic Ethics, even going head to head with EN24 and TMC writers. This is because I value truth above everything else, and will report anything of interest, so long as it does not hurt any individual or organization. However, I have been at times called to breach those same laws in order to dispel propoganda and give a fair and balanced review of matters. I weighed the value of the story against the harm that could come of it, and found that public interest was more compelling than AFK's good name. If called to do the same choice again, I would not hesitate to stick with it, regardless of the consequences.
The matter, as it stands, is closed. Do not contact me in the future, all communications between us should be done by third parties.
Sincerely,
Salivan Harddin
The EVE Scribe
OP: Apart from this article on the AFK CSAA Salivan has been doing an excellent job reporting events out of Providence. While this incident certainly tarnishes him in my eyes I appreciate the work hes done for Providence and continue to read his news reports. ~Hashu

Provi Bloc Notice: Mobile Tractor Units
Do not leave your mobile Tractor Units alone in a system. MTUs found with the owner not in system will be killed. This is because they currently loot ANYONE's wrecks and not just cans and wrecks belonging to their owners. This is, intentional or unintentional, a form of loot stealing. If you find an unattended MTU do try to contact the owner first before killing it and IF that person is in local please do not kill them.
Call for Creativity Winner
At the end of October corebloodbrothers from VOLT called for a creativity drive and offered monetary rewards for best poster and best fraps/movie. While there did not really appear to be any fraps/movie entries we had several pictures. After a month core picked the winner, submitted by Frostbyte from Yulai Federation.
To see the other entries see the competition thread (sorry, Provibloc members only).

KBP Local logs released from July 25th Incident
While many have seen the few lines of local logs released immediately during the friendly fire events, a great deal has been made about statements made before and after the fact. We finally got my hands on the extended logs. You can draw your own conclusions.

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

To: Equinox Daedalus, June Ting,
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,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.
XavierVE
Alliance Leader
Of Sound Mind
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...Several Edits: Combat logs adjusted after new logs turned in, added more local log.

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.

PDDC leave CVA
Hi CVA,
As you all might have noticed PDDC hasn't been very active last couple of months.
This is mainly caused due to lack of challange for us.
Most of my guys have been in and Providence and Domain for years now and in need for somethinge else, something new.
We're still unsure about what it is we are gonna do, but it will probably be away from Domain and Provi.
At this point there's no concrete plans about joining another alliance, but we are leaving CVA.
For now we will probably just be some random low sec NBSI corp.
Some of our members will leave PDDC and seak for new shelter some place else in CVA.
It has been an honour flying with you guys, chances are we will be back some day to fight for the good again
We will be leaving the alliance when we have moved our stuff, and have found a new home for our members that decide to stay in Providence.
We wish you all the best and see you in space.
o7
Frizz.
We wish PDDC the best of luck, whenever they aren't shooting us of course.
We Still Live

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.
This construction marks the 63rd outpost in Providence, reducing the number of systems without an outpost to 21.
C.F. Central Command Constructed (62)
The construction of C.F. Central Command brings the regions total to 62 outposts in 84 systems, leaving just 22 systems without outposts.
TETIC Moves On
On the 19th of January The Eden Trading International Corporation announced their plans to leave CVA and join their friends in Paxton Industries in another endevour. Hexentanz explained their plans in an announcement in the allied section of theCitadel Forums.
Hello Gentlemen,
As it maybe already came to your attention, TETIC is leaving CVA for a new offensive task.
We're happy with what providence became in the last 2 years where we were part of CVA.
Being a corporation primary up for supporting its alliance in war and offensives, we're not having much to do now, as operation deliverance is completed to what it is designed for - holding providence.
I want to thank Everyone for the great time, especially also Codo Yagari, XavierVE, Tasha Diabolique and many others. Special thanks also to Equinox Daedalus for keeping the wagon together in easy and in rough times.
Keep up the reunion of alliances to make provi bloc strong and pulling on the same rope.
In case you want to stay in contact, our channel "TETIC" is always open <3
Signing off
Hexentanz
CEO TETIC
With the leaving of the 100+ man corporation TETIC and the recent departure of the 160+ man Firestar Corporation, and the removal of the inactive corporation Humantarget, CVA has lost significantly manpower recently. However as many have reported such is the cycle of Eve, and with recent new additions in Catalina Operations and Logistics Division, and the recent resurgence of Polaris Project with the merging of active elements of Nihilistic Social Club, CVA is already swinging back.

(61) Basilica of Maxentius Finishes Completion Ahead of Schedule
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.
