War! Ludi Sacerdotales, Part 3 - Fin
This will be the post where everything comes to close, where all the fun stuff we've been storing up for later gets to come out and see the light of day. This has been delayed a bit, but we do have real lives... amazing, isn't it?
Our wardec against Ludi Sacerdotales is still active, but we have suspended most activity against them. Why? We reached one of our end-game goals: The target is disbanding. Ludi has shed more than half it's membership in the last few days and is down to 14 members from an original high of 40.
In case you think that I'm speculating about their disbanding, let me explain: We had an alt on the inside the entire time. Both Captain Charismatic and I applied and joined the corporation. When Charismatic's character was outed, Ludi believed they were in the clear and my spy character was able to follow every move they made. With my access to their corporate chat and Paul's new intel sharing tool, all of Jerks was able to listen in on the corporation in real-time.
We had a blast seeing all of the internal tears, horrible fits, completely wrong statements about game mechanics, and the reactions to our manipulating them from the inside. I will be posting a new series called "The Ludi Files" from time to time - because the amount of material is just too large to cover in any single post.
I'll start off the series now by talking about Ludi's attempts to determine our alts. They correctly identified a few of our very obvious alts, but they fingered a number of characters as our alts which were either (a) only people we were friends with or (b) characters that had no relationship with us at all!
This list has all of the actual Jerks members, but that's pretty easy to find. It has three of our actual alts and one former alt (character now sold); none of this is too difficult to figure out if you read this blog and checked out some corporate history.
Now the lols start: BM Dublyoo, Clantyn, Elias Tarmarr, Kel'airy, and Merktlhu are either friendly with us, or from our days in Suddenly Ninjas - but these guys weren't involved in our war with Ludi and most likely didn't even know about it. The real hilarity is the rest of the list: Britney Tears, Casiella Truza, Eliason Phasmatis, Miyamoto Mushai, and Novail. These guys are ENTIRELY UNRELATED to us in any way. At all.
Essentially what happened is that if someone in Ludi saw one of the Jerks on a gate, with a neutral also there, they assumed it was an alt. *facepalm*. They harassed some of these guys, including poor Britney who just wanted to ice mine in peace.
Finally, they missed a very obvious alt character. During our kill of the CEO's Scorpion we warped in one of my alts with ECCM fitted up. He was on the field long enough for the CEO to have noticed, and would have turned red to him. No mention of this guy ever shows up. Fail corp is fail.

confirming I will ruin Ludi by staying docked in Dodixie
I'm 14 hours away from wardecing a Corp that might be as bad as these guys. 7 people in there and only 1 person is over 3 months. They felt the need to bring 4 BSs and 2 BCs against my griffin. Should be a blast.
Oh and they didn't even pop me.
This whole series of posts was so strange. It's almost as though you don't understand the meaning of contradiction. Or hilarity. Or facepalm.
Is this the ass-kicking of which you were speaking, Paul? Jerks-only local chat, Velator killmails, and making fun of someone for not remembering the name of a neutral alt briefly on overview providing ECCM, of all things, to two targets who are killing him? Or, were you actually serious about Captain and Khalia being unemployed fatties?
On one hand I can watch a billion ISK go up in flames (in HD!) while listening to some decent music, and enjoying highsec griefing tactics on display. On the other hand I can read this asinine tripe.
Will subsequent "Ludi Files" posts end with two overused internet memes in one sentence like this one? If so, terrific!
You honestly sound like you're mad. People Enjoy certain aspects of the game no matter what kills they get. You can go spend all day on a gate waiting for a T3, Freighter, or some moron with 74 plex to come through while these guys get their LOLS their way.
You sir are the kind of person I LOVE to grief in game.
Hahaha. Okay, Ash. The character name is CLS Floze, and currently I spend my time in and around Fricoure between 4:00 and 6:00 GMT a few days a week. Knock yourself out.
Just remember that while you seem offended by my making fun of Khalia for some reason, I don't think you're correct in saying that I am the type of person you love to grief. Well, I suppose, unless you like suiciding Probes and Vigils and Rifters.
Oh, if you do happen to kill one (some) of my T1 frigates, maybe they'll let you guest post right here on mylootyourtears.com. It should fit right in with Khalia's outstanding series on corporate infiltration.
Surely you have better things to do. Let these men have their fun, and you have yours. This is EVE, it's fun if you make it so
As a second note, I personally find these stories hilarious.
[...] dropped the war against Ludi Sacerdotales yesterday. We’d got our laughs out of them and were doing more interesting things like taking down POS [...]
