No more. For this week's column, The Mittani gives a detailed account
on how a simple exchange of threatening emails convinced an invading
entity to stop attacking a Goonswarm-friendly alliance. The twist in
the story comes at the end, so keep your eyes peeled!

First,
steal everything not nailed down. A long-term GIA agent named
Gobblock masterminded a theft of a tremendous amount of assets held by
the executor corporation of IRC. A titan's worth of capital components,
an entire capital fleet, scads of blueprints and multiple jump
freighters were looted, totalling hundreds of billions of isk. Now we
had some influence, a card I could play. I sent word through Gobblock,
our now-burned spy, to ask the IRC leadership to contact me about
working out a deal. If they pulled out of Insmother and withdrew in
good faith, I'd arrange to give them their stolen assets back. If not,
I'd have to get cranky.
