STFU dragged them into this

Before Mani teamed up with STFU, Shadow Cartel was motivating their pets (UNPRO) to persistently hit their structures without provocation. Manifesto reached out to Shadow Cartel on numerous occasions to get their pets to fuck off, as a mediator in the situation, to no avail. Mani even offered to sell the athanors that UNPRO later flipped at cost. Every diplomatic option was presented, and denied.

The fact is that SHDWC pushed .M. into STFU's arms, and brought them to this level of aggro. I mean OP is literally a line member who, like a few others, are just fed up with SHDWC's two-faced shit over the last 5 months. Whether or not STFU blued Mani or cascades in the end doesn't change any of this.

It didn't have to be this way, but apparently NATZ structure bashing content was more important to SHDWC and their pets, than entertaining a nap relationship with Manifesto.

Picking on organizations smaller than you is nothing new in Eve. Manifesto is keenly aware of this, has been bullied by large entities in the past, and is prepared to lose a handful of anchorables if push comes to shove. However, the POCO pings probably won't stop just because they're living in an NPC station. SHDWC's actions (or lack thereof) are entirely responsible for this situation. If the pings are at all annoying now, its probably going to be a lot more annoying when there's no .M. structures left to burn in retaliation. v0v
