So how long have you run this blog anyway? Whats your viewership? Its one thing to say you have a massive amount of readers/influence and another to actually have one. And how do I know its you that oversees the whole thing?

That's easy. I'm the person who posts and approves everything. Even the writers have no idea who I am. There are rumors but no one really knows for sure. Ever so often I plant stories out there that point to people just to keep my scent clear. Our next three stories after the ROFL/SyN piece are New Dust Beta Trailer, GameTrailers footage and E3 stage demo. I have access to all the articles that are scheduled to run and in rough draft form. And just so you know EON is another ally I can easily manipulate they'll be infected shortly as well as their leader is already under my thumb.

Well, I cannot say much about the total numbers... but one person I know said something that summed it up nicely.

"MAGVETS is the go to source for everything that goes on in this game" I can alter the perception on any event that takes place and I have enough dirt on MAG players to fill the blog for five years. I created a forum where even the writers have no clue who I am but I can give them a topic and have an article written on any subject I want in 48 hours.

I played MAG. So who and what? What if I needed proof? You're talking a big game now but can you deliver?

Ok, ok.... I'll throw you a bone....I singlehandledly made ContraBanJoe a laughingstock by putting his surrender on our top ten list and then turned him into a legend by putting his 128 player stampede on our blog as well. CCP noticed it and called him a "FPS legend" in their newsletter....my blog did that. I had a source within the Flock (nightshade83) feeding me info when everyone thought they were impenetrable and most recently I put together a faux alliance of corps who I am the leader of.

fine. we'll see what you have to offer. there aren't any guarantees of course. This is EvE and the investment is real. Internet spaceships is serious business.

I can understand what your doing, as I know you've had to fight your way to the top, but you do realize that you have more to gain by working with our wishes than against?

Our blog is the most important media in the galaxy for FPS players right now.

You can feel free to underestimate me all you like, but that would put future alliance in jeopardy, and force you to deal with only average FPS players. If you know my work from MAG you know full well how good I am at organizing players. I can deliver the best of the best at your doorstep, and you can even sacrifice them if necessary. I know you weren't pleased with the "Burn New Eden" rhetoric and I can point out groups like ZionShad, Global Conflict, SyN and everyone else who participated.

As the person paid to be the voice of the EV and Dust FPS community, I definitely prefer SUBTLETY rather than direct interaction. If you know anything about 6D9 being ex-communicated from Valor after defecting you know that was my doing as well. TBA were cool with those guys before they lost their way. We did a story on Yamo the traitor that basically tore that clan apart after they left Valor. TTT that zade, yamo and kushmir constantly take credit for? All planned by me and thought up by yours truly. If you consider my entry into your corporation, I think that it would be mutually beneficial.
In reference to the EV, I created a Virus. Not an alliance. We are taking the game to a roleplaying aspect, and as such, I can get the members of the EV to do my bidding anytime I like. I also did the one thing that no one would expect by giving the appearance of the EV and blog as enemies. SUBTLETY yet again, no one suspects that we're actually on the same team. Even the members of my alliance. We watch everyone else full of bravado but never once participate in the ego stroking interviews that alliance CEO's like to indulge themselves in. Still, I created the EVE as a disposable entity. I'm ready to leave the chains of FPS behind and ascend to something only EVE players can offer me. Games like MAG were only a stepping stone to real power for me.

----------

The concept of the Entropy Virus is based on a sickness that is spreading around and reducing productivity in assembly stations around the galaxy. One piece I wrote has Rise of Legion, in fear of an outbreak, begun attacks on any mining vessels caught carrying signs of the virus. In total 9 frigates were destroyed, and that has seemed to have done the trick, as infection reports have gone down significantly since the attacks.

After launch i'll do news stories that have protest groups saying that ROFL's brand of "containment" by attacking the EV was just unjustified slaughter, sentencing those to death before treatments could be procured. mercenaries were hired by certain human rights groups to protect the miners from further attacks.

-=-=-

Basically how I wrote it up: the EV has a few ships in Eve, just doing simple mining operations. ROFL came and attacked unprovoked and killed 9 ships. We hired some mercs to chase them off.

A local expert, a Doctor Spankit who is charged with working on a vaccine, was reached for comment, but only had this to say:

(next i'll provide comments on the excentric behavior, and then adlib some impressions on the crazy doctor)

The story has the Minmatar paying me to create a virus, to purge the Amarr for their sins.... the Gallente pay me to purge the virus. Now you come in paying me to TALK about the virus? For such a meaningless infection that only affect a small mining corporation. Next your going to report that I am being paid BY the virus! Such nonsence! You see where i'm going....

Also if you need any misinformation or stories posed on the blog just let me know. It does what I created it for. To provide a news source for that we could use for our own purposes whenever we liked. our next project is organizing a coordinated attack on ROFL after launch for their arrogance. I tried to stupidity behind us but they continued with childishness internet hate.

Sorry if I drifted back and forth from role playing my character and talking to you as a person... hahaha.

Its fine. Those are some pretty lofty aspirations. I'll have to give your application to leadership to consider. You have to keep in mind there are a large number of EvE players who dont think Dust will be integrated for a very long time.
