Anecdotal Hilarity - A story of a rich Russian Sugardaddy I've been alluding to this particular tale for a while now. I had to wait for a bit before sharing this as, to be frank I found it a bit difficult to believe. I've become quite a bit more convinced about it recently and am quite certain about at least one part of this particular tale of space hilarity and the lengths that some particular people will go to in a spaceship game and to be frank whether it's all one hundred percent true or not I feel a need to share it with you. I provide it to you not out of any real concern, but because this story is an excellent motivator for me and I believe that you too will gain enjoyment from it.

As many of you know this whole thing started back when we spent a month asking a particular group of Russians not to run a plex that was never anything but ours. They gave us the finger and hostilities began. Now there's some interesting backstory. LETA apparently has a rather affluent Russian gentlman as its resident sugardaddy. What may very well have caused the rather violent angst of LETA in particular is the fact that not long before we began these hostilities both the corp and the space were purchased from Nync for a pile of real life cash. Our hostile actions against these interlopers, who had apparently purchased rights which weren't theirs to sell, apparently fucked up Nync's loltacular financial arrangement. The reason for these original misunderstandings? It may very well be because many of the accounts of the names you remember were also purchased by this gentleman, and they had no idea about existing arrangements nor care, because I mean hey, what can't money buy?

So titans are still changing hands for real life cash. We decide to hit LETA who then forms ROL and Nync starts chestpounding on the Russian forums about how we're terrible racists and we hate Russians and blah blah blah. It becomes apparent that ROL cannot do a thing to us, and SE, who were without a titan one week magically are back in the fray and back in a titan. No gigantic flocking to their banner despite their newfound sense of nationalism because, quite frankly nobody buys their bullshit. This is a familiar tune with Nync who doesn't give a fuck about anything but his wallet and every single Russian knows it. Even those under his banner.

Now long before this AAA had been talking about hooking up with BoB, whether seriously or not. Somewhere in this equation Evil Thug is paid a large, think tens of thousands of dollars, chunk of real life money. Wham Bam AAA is no longer our friend but suddenly filled with the desire they've never had to engage in territorial conquest against an enemy who quite frankly, outclassed them by a wide margin. Not only are they willing to do something they've never shown a single sign of being interested, but lo and behold they're on the side of ROL and SE… You'll notice from my conversation with Evil Thug yesterday that there was no denial of him being paid. So this is how AAA chooses to go out, not with a bang but with a ka-ching!

BoB may or may not have been paid cash or with a titan, and across the intel channels are whispers of a rich Russian gentleman offering astounding levels of real life money in order for people to fight us.

So this may very well be what you're fighting gentlemen. A mish-mosh of disparate Bad News Bears alliances who have absolutely no connection whatsoever aside from the fact that some of them speak Russian and all have been rumored to have been paid off enormous sums of money by a rich Russian sugardaddy. Their dream is to have bought themselves a coalition that can seriously not just take a station or two, but to actually defeat us and push us out of conquerable space. They will take any fags they can get, AAA's original protestations aside, that will increase their numbers. Why would AAA change its story and leave its balls at the door? $$$

I for one am going to get a huge kick out of knowing that I personally contributed to some dude on the other side of the planet spending a few years of an average person's salary buying a space army that still can't get the job done.

Enjoy. Standing orders will be posted shortly.

Recently (Summer of 2012) with the HBC & CFC invasion of D/Q/PB ROL was a staunch ally of Against All Authorities, also known as -A- or AAA. With -A-'s secession of active sov-war against the HBC, ROL began to assault Tribal Band who had recently moved into Period Basis. They were, however, unable to take any systems in Period Basis, and TRIBE went on the offensive. With the HBC now controlling vital entry systems into Paragon Soul ROL sought help from their allies, Against All Authorities. -A- by this time, however, was weak and were unable to muster sufficient forces to slow down the HBC. The campaign to take Paragon Soul effectively ended after the HBC aborted multiple titans belonging to English speaking ROL corps, leading to their formation of their own alliance, Unclaimed. in September 2012, also known as TROLL. As of this time ROL has retreated to their innermost holdings and is licking their wounds.

ROL were one of the larger SoCo alliances, and often comprised a decent portion of SoCo CTA fleets.

ROL. has typically advertised itself as a PVP alliance, and as such has installed renters in significant portions of their space. Renters of theirs include Red Citizens and Inver Brass.
