Did you know that ...

In the Fall of 2012 a Mothership was purchased under an assumed name by the well known Pirate EarnestJ.
As a member of a well known society he started offering free flights until he and his crew shot down a friendly Mothership who was out hunting mobs at the time.

This started a large multi-page outrage against (and some for) such behavior from a service ship with the assumed name egging on and trolling the discussion using it to promote his Ship.

He then started trolling other Ships websites with pornographic spam while impersonating yet another Ships alliance name in an attempt to stir dissension amongst the owners.
It wasn't until he did this that people started putting 2 and 2 together and tying IP addresses together to find out they were one and the same.

It will be interesting to see how history looks back at this, a 10k+ usd investment used not for investment purposes, but for pvp and 'espionage' against his potentially high dollar passengers.

How many people were really in on the secrets or were they were all being taken advantage of?

I recall running into that thing, and it just looked at me and sent me to revival. If I remember correctly, it took a group of ubers in shadow and using mod faps and mod mercs a lot of effort to take it down.
