Posted by: Havohej : Category: This is likely to be the last out-of-character chronicles post that I make regarding PotBS. I haven’t quite decided on how to go about writing Chronicles posts for Stephen MacKenna; I don’t know if I’m going to make it conversational the way I made the Havohej posts, third person like I were writing short stories or perhaps in the “Captain’s Log” format, which would be first-person but not conversational. I’ve yet to decide, and if anyone cares to offer your opinion you’re welcome to!
I’m also curious to see how many of my original readers will continue to follow this blog despite the dwindling amount of EVE-O related content. I just hope I can make the PotBS stuff at least as entertaining. I will definitely miss having killboards to link; in PotBS it truly is a matter of SSDH: “Screenshots or it Didn’t Happen”! And speaking of screenshots, with that invitation for input out of the way I’d like to share with you my first PvP experiences in PotBS.

¶ Alright, so… Readers of this blog already have an idea of how DFIAS has progressed, from High Security empire space, to Low Sec, to Zero Sec with alliances. Venom was established, but was very poorly run. Anthrax Death was a start-up outfit relying heavily on GoonSwarm to ensure its existence. But the fragile nature of such an existence is evidenced often by threads like this: Anthrax Death Eviction Notice by Zapawork, GoonSwarm diplomat.
¶ When we left ANTX to join DEFI4NT, it was with the understanding that DEFY was to be led by ms kypp and that it would be a PvP alliance working toward its own goals. In my last entry, Ambition, I explained why this did not work out. The alliance we joined, Code Red Alliance, didn’t work out much better…
¶ It’s been a hell of a long time since I chronicled the progression of my corporation’s development in EVE, and I apologize for that. So much has been happening, and so quickly, that I’ve been kept pretty busy. And when I have had time to make an entry, the things that I would have to write about have been of such a sensitive nature that they couldn’t be spoken of so publicly.
¶ That said, I will do my best to bring anyone who has been watching this blog develop up to speed. Note that any inaccuracies or vague statements are due to my not being able to disclose every detail for security reasons.
¶ I think that by the time you’ve got 5 hours of flight time in EVE-Online, every capsuleer knows that there’s a war going on. Everybody knows that the tens of thousands of pilots involved in this struggle, and the sheer vastness of the territory being held and contested by the four main powerblocs (The Southern Coalition, The Northern Coalition, The Alliance, and Superfriends), means that even if you’re not fighting in this war yourself, you are affected by it. This war, and the territory (and therefor resources) being fought over have a universal effect on the EVE-Online in-game market. Issuesin gameplay and balance that arise during this conflict lead to nerfs that effect all players (drone nerf, nos nerf, nanonerf, what else?).
¶ Last night, I flew for my first time in a large fleet op that was organized with the sole intent of doing a little damage in the Great War in the name of VENOM Alliance and the Southern Coalition.
