Big Changes, in Little Slice of Heaven...

So, as anyone who actually read anything on this blog (all 20 of you guys, you rock!) will tell you, the ramblings of Minuit Soleil sort of dropped off into static a while back.

I still logged in, now and then, ran a few sleeper sites with the P2AS crew, checked on the latest gossip over in ORDR, ran fuel, sold sleeper stuff. The usual, enough to keep the accounts open and keep plex on hand.

About a month and a bit ago, all that changed. Katt and I took a weekend off from EVE, didn't log in from Thursday till Monday, and when we did, I discovered a distinct lack of a POS bubble.

That's right, ship-wreck fans, POS Gone.

Had a nice gloating EVE-Mail from the folks that destroyed our tower over the weekend, sitting out the reinforcement timer and all that schnazz, waiting in Katt's inbox.

So, what's a crew to do when everything goes pear-shaped?

Get the most valuable stuff, stored in your offline Orca, the heck back to High-Sec!

So, after pointing this out via EVE-Mail to our antagonists, and being certain to leave a few scanning alts spattered around J162010 for later fun, P2AS pulled out of Wormhole space and returned to Empire.

It was a surprisingly invigorating move, and in ways I have to thank the POS-Bashing boys for knocking us off our rear ends and back into the game. (Not that we won't be thinking of using those alts anyway....)

I've dropped IT and ORDR, which "reformed" (read: Disbanded) into a "super-corp" (read: I dunno... whatever the heck that was supposed to mean) and have joined up with P2AS for the near future.

If you have taken the time to read this ramble, and have any suggestions on where to go from here, I'd love to hear them! We're taking steps to get back into the game, and are enjoying ourselves, but I don't like to be without goals...

Expect more soon, and Fly Straight, they'll never expect it!

ORDR Takes Sovereignty

So, as anyone who reads the news knows, ORDR (Sodalitas-XX), the Alliance to which IT (Imperium Technologies) belongs now has it's name on the map.

In fact, we have our name on the map in... *googles 'Seven tuplets'* septuplicate!

That's right space-fans, ORDR has annexed a constellation just inside Providence, as part of AAA's continued offensive in the wake of CVA's refusal to accept terms, ORDR has stepped up and after some diplomatic discussion accepted AAA's assistance to take their own constellation.

Now, the cry of 'Pets, pets' has already hit the news-stands and there's a lot of derision and scorn being thrown ORDR's way. Which is giving everyone a lot of smiles and chuckles. While Sodalitas is new, do a check on the employment history of some of our top pilots and leadership sometime. You'll note that little glitch in there where CCP acknowledges they weren't keeping employment records back when these folk rolled their characters. Some of the Corps are in the same situation, having been created prior to employment record keeping.

While I don't have nearly the kind of play-time that I would like, roaming out there and joining in the action, I can comfortably say that what comes next is well expected by ORDR leadership, and anyone who decides that having intelligent leadership with an understanding of how diplomacy works is a weakness, is in for a bit of a shock.

Fly Straight,

Big Happenings, No Time

Big things are happening in ORDR, most of which I'm not yet well informed about enough to give great detail on, and the remainder of which is not yet available intel for the public.

Unfortunately, I have no time to capitalize on these changes, gather the intel I want, or blog about the goings on! (I have been accused of being an information ho, and it's not inaccurate...)

Real Life, tm. pty. ltd. has reared its ugly head in the form of medical leave for a coworker, increasing my work schedule from 4days a week, 50% from home, to 7days a week, with no increase to my work-at-home time.

So keep an eye on this space, and I'll be bothering you with excessive posting soon!

Fly straight!
