I like the mythos behind the whole Red Vs Blue thing, the story goes like this: The BLUE Republic and the RED Federation had been in constant war declaration since 2008, abiding to somewhat questionable rules of war, these two warring factions have been showing there is no need to head null-sec for constant good-fights. Also they seem to have a perk for engaging Eve University fleets. Since am not the best person qualified person to untangle this web of intriges I would recommend reading Poetic’s earlier post for a better disclosure on motives/drama.
Red versus Blue set the Eve University on Fire.
Anyhow, the RvB fleet formed up around 16:00hours, pulled a ragtag fleet of armor midrange BC’s and BS, with a wing of around 20 long range drakes plus scimmies.
They poked the E-UNI fleet in Funtanainen (Lonetrek) where all they got was a blue balling.
Then intel arrived of a 25+ Eve University gang in a nearby system, poked again and the blue-balling repeated.
The RvB fleet spammed the Funtanainen local with ‘NO FIGHT NO CSM7 VOTE’ to encourage the Eve UNI leadership to deliver a fight… another 20 minutes and still nothing. The RvB fleet disbanded and calls on the “EVE-UNI fags” were thrown on local as the RvB headed home to pew-pew each other.
Thirty minutes later call goes out that on RvB comms; a form up is in order again because the EVE-UNI have found an FC and WILL fight. Back comes the rag-tag fleet, mostly consisting of shield canes and drakes, with a mass of the usual RvB and a splattering of BattleShips and Hacs and a whole four scimmies. vOv
They moved out and held on gate into Funtanainen, the EVE-UNI fleet refused to jump into them and RvB refused the urge to jump into them since EVE-UNI was in a short range fleet. Our battle-reporter elaborates on what happened next:
RvB got bored… Leeroy happens….. We burn off gate while taking out there known FC and hitting all their ECM in about 20 seconds flat, they fell apart ….but props to them mostly staying on grid, and even a few coming back in cruisers and rookie ships to whore up the mails
They died in a fire and we lulzed and went home with that fuzzy feeling you get after decimating unistas.
Shame it took almost 6 hours of pissing around and poking them until they would actually bring a fight, but in the end it was worth it even though they then had the audacity of posting on one of their loss mails stating they had been waiting 6 hours for us D:<
We want to give you guys the best possible intel, to post as fast as we can confirm it, but Eve being :Eve: is quite confusing. If we messed up with our intel, please contact us directly riverini@gmail.com, provide the proof of it and we’ll correct it immediately noting the change and bringing the correction on top of the article list.
