lets stick this back up for folks to see for the weekend.
It's going to be exciting times this weekend. We have several 3rd party war targets active. There's a big purple roam planed and there will certainly be no shortage of small fleet and 1v1 action to be had.
Pick up a stack of you're preferred frigate and head on over. Or heck just come in your newb ship and bring a stack of isk. We have a pretty decent market over here and we're only 4 hops from Dodixie if you happen to want anything we don't have in the local market.
So if you've been itching to shoot at something other than AI controlled rats come on over and lets get down so some serious explody action.

Battle Report 5/14
No big arranged fights while I was on last night. We played cat and mouse with blues but they just couldn't seem to get it together plus Red had them massively outnumbered. Did catch a few at various gates and got a little action total of 5 kills for the night.
At this point since we had blues so badly out numbered we split our fleet leaving about half behind to play with blues the rest of us making up a fleet of about 10 in a mix of Battleships Battlecruisers Cruisers and Frigates headed over to one of our war targets home systems to see if we could stir up some trouble.
Broke out the neutral Covert Ops to scout a head.
We move over one system out and send in the neutral scouts find 2 War Targets in System, Right on now we know where they live. You can never be sure many corporations headquarters far away from their actual base of operations but this guys at least have some presence in this system. Quick check of the starbases locates them.
Now we send one of our guys in to stir up the nest a little.
Aha they see a red in local and a 3rd WT logs in and our scouts report 2 of them outside station in Scorpions. At this point we're not wanting to scare them off but we're trying to get a bit of a fight going so we send in a BC and a couple frigates to taunt them.
"Warriors.. come out and play" one of our guys smacks into local.
"it's my bed time" replies the WT.
Oh well no fun gank. Still gave us a chance to break out the big stuff and practice moving in a coordinated fashion. Plus I got to spend a little time with my prober and in order to develope some probing skills. I still suck but I'm starting to figure it out.
Back to base to do logistical crap before going to bed.
At some point I notice a note in Corp from one of our Newbs that he got podded by a 3rd party. Looking at the killboards it appeared that he was moving stuff from Jita and got popped. Not smart moving freight around AFK when under a wardec. Had another guy lost a golem earlier in the day when he thought he could sneak it off to do a little missioning.
So for anyone thinking of coming down. Here's some advice. Take care of your logistics first before apping corp. If you need to get stuff brought in either use a neutral alt or talk to one of the haulers already in RVB assuming you can't find everything you need.
We got people who can do or get just about anything you want. Including industrial characters who cut us nice deals on ships so we don't have to spend as much time out of corp making isk to blow up.
Another big one. Leave those pretty mission ships back at your home mission system. Just mothball em until you're done with RVB. That way you won't be tempted to take them out either in a fit of emorage or in the case of an attack of the stupid.
As always Fly what you can afford to lose.
The best attitude is to assume a ship is dead the moment it undocks that way if it comes home your happy and if it doesn't well that's just the way it goes. Just like the Samaria of old, Embrace death to survive.
So come on down US evenings need active blue pilots and FC's so I can haz targets.

Was a slow weekend for me (family stuff getting in the way of my pew pew)
Anyway word is the 0.0 Roam was a blast.
Sunday night was pretty slow when I got online. Well not so much slow as that Blue's were very light on numbers. (had three interested in fighting) and we reds had like 15 no real way that was ever going to be a remotely fair fight unless we just made 2 red fleets and invited them to join.
Word came that a GM was pretending to be concord next door in Yulai so not having anything else to do we popped over and checked that out. We spent the time doing some combat sites (massive over kill) and taunting the roleplayers in Local while waiting to see if something would happen.
Sadly nothing did and the GM sent the RPer's off to some low sec system 12 jumps away. We decided that was further than we wanted to go at midnight and some logged and those of us remaining decided to go do a frig free for all. (when we can't find someone else to kill we're always up for killing each other)
I didn't do so well this time I was experimenting with a new fit and well it didn't work out so good so I was the second out. Came back at 100 in a Velator and had it out with the first casualty in an his Ibis. I was disappointed to find that you can't overheat newb guns.
After dispatching the Ibis I went back to station to repair (No damned drones for sale in the system ) oh well back to watch the rest of the fight.
By this time the third casualty had gotten back in a reaper and he opened fire on me. We started fighting then the Ibis showed up again. Since the Ibis pilot was one of our hated blue's we agreed to gang up on him before finishing our match.
Alas the Ibis pilot had apparently went shopping. My Velator crumped then the Reaper Pilot is on comms going "100 damage wtf' Turns out the Ibis Pilot picked up some 125 ac's before coming back ).
By this time the fight peters out and I return to pick up my loot. Prizes are awarded and the ref/prize provider announces that we need to prepare a cruiser and that we'd be doing a cruiser FFA sometime this week.
Fun times.
Now if blues could just get some people online tonight so I can keep my kill stats up.
If you want fun casual almost instant action PVP RVB is definitely the ticket. Come on over stay for a day a week a month a yeah however long you want. No endless roams looking for likely targets no alarm clock ops. Fly as cheap or expensive as you like/can afford, leave, come back. It's all good.
If you haven't tried PVP and are interested in it this is the best place to get some rapid action. If you are an experienced combat pilot and are tired of lack of targets then RVB is for you too.

Unless Agony has a class starting tonight why wait?
You can do both come to RVB to get some combat time while you wait for an Agony course then either drop corp or just head on over to the Agony course when it's time.
The most important thing you can get out of RVB IMO is just getting comfortable while in combat.
Almost everyone gets the combat shakes and makes panicky mistakes when they start out and the only cure for that is to put yourself in the situation again and again until it becomes rote and you can actually think beyond "oh *#&$& I'm in combat".
My first PVP engagement all kinds of flustered, Now however I'm calm and can actually make some decisions, often some bad ones but at least I'm making decisions.
In fact what you might want to do if you plan on taking an Agony course soon but not immediately. Is train up a few levels of infomorph psychology go get a couple jump clones. Leave on in the RVB area and go put one over where Agony is having their classes with the needed supplies for the class when it becomes available. Then jump back to the RVB clone and get to killing/dieing.

I retired my other character, RVB has allowed me to restart a FC type alt - and I have to say its been a total blast!
Every fight on this guy has been fleet related primarily as an FC... RVB cant be beat for instant PVP in my opinion...
So you cant go wrong alt or your main -- No obligation required so it want hurt to just bring your main in really
Hope to see ya soon!

Daily bump and battle report.
After several slow nights due various fleet imbalances I finally managed to get a very good night in.
Now understand I consider it a slow night when I'm limited to 3-5 kills.
Last night things really clicked together.
Earlier in the day I had some daytime flight time and managed to lose 2 1v1's. It's all good though. I learned a couple valuable lessons
1. do fit T2 for 1v1's and 2. when fighting a Tristan orbit in falloff and kill the f-ing drone first.
Both were good fights , the first Rifter managed to melt my T1 fitted crap Rifter quite handily with a vanilla 400mm plated T2 gun toting buffer rifter. The lack of T2 mods really showed in this fight. they make a difference.
The second fight with the Tristan was even better I set orbit to 2500 overloaded guns and started pounding him. He released his drone and it was on. I decided that I'd do better to try and kill the Tristan fast alas I left my guns on overheat too long and when the Tristan was down to 12% structure they burned out.
According to the Tristan pilot his guns burned out too so his drone finished off the fight. Even losing the ship that was a hell of a fight and I learned some things about dealing with Gallente frigates in solo PVP.
That concluded my solo play for the day on to the fun fleet stuff.
After watching some TV with the wife I headed up and log on. There's a fleet forming up so I toss my X up in corp chat and join up.
These were 2 huge fleets going up. Close to 20 on each side obviously our recruiting efforts are paying off eventually the details are worked out to balance the fight people are shipped up and we rally up at a safe in Tourier.
Once the fleet is on station at the safe and our scouts confirm the Blue's fleet composition and locations we move on to Alenia and go setup on a gate to wait for the blue fleet to engage.
About the time we're setup with snipers in place here come the blues and it's on. For a change I'm not primaried at jump and start working through targets. This was a nice long fight by our normal standards. First target was dropped at 03:34 with the final death at 03:44 so a ten minute long fleet fight.
For the first time in an RVB fleet fight I actually had to reload my guns.
After killing the first Blue I just started working on targets, I stayed on the primary save for those times when I just wasn't going to be in range in which case I picked some likely target in range. Keeping points on what ever I could get.
At one point about halfway through the fight I appeared to have gotten primaried (or at least I started taking enough damage to chew through my shields and about 60% of my armor but then I guess who ever was shooting at my died or they changed primaries and my shield started recharging and I dodged my usual watch most the battle from my pod thing.
Then I got Orion scramed in his nice killboard stuffing Retribution and started hamemring on him since I wasn't close enough to engage the primary (and punishers are dog slow) then he was primaried and we burned him down.
Finally I scrammed a Maller and we started working on it. I started taking damage. the Maller was going down but so was I, I decide at this point to try and bug out and started to warp off.
Alas some blue saw me trying to take off and hit me with a point "poof" dead Punisher. But the Maller went down about the same time and that was pretty much the battle.
Rnd 2 a couple blue's were sent over to buffer our numbers to cover some folks who took off. This one I got primaried early on so not much to report apparently it was a good engagement with Blue's holding the field instead of us.
Refit another punisher and it's time for rnd3. Since I'm running out of space here I'll cover that in a little bit for another bumpski once my CCP's post inhibitor finishes cycling.

Battle Report continued.
So after the first 2 epic fights numbers started dropping off it was after midnight CST so most our eastern folks and many central time people started going to bed. Since I'm an idiot I x up for one last fight.
Keeping the 2 blue's who were sent over for the previous engagement and adding one extra from corp gave us an even 8v8 fleet. This time no cruisers just pure frig fest.
We gather up once again at a safe after reshipping from the previous engagement. Then we head back to Alenia for more fun.
We decide on a planet and warp to it to set up before notifying the Blue fleet only to find them warping in on us. hmmm..
No biggy Del starts calling targets and we start carving through the blues like a hot knife through warm butter. This fight I don't get primaried early so I get to have fun. We cycle through the targets until we're down to a couple of ships something I wasn't paying attention to and the Merlin I have tackled. I'm running out of armor so I start trying to open some distance between me and the Merlin who's tank is failing but not as fast as mine. I try to warp out but alas it's a mutual point.
By some minor miracle my ship stabilizes at 0 armor 0 shield and like 90% structure. About this time the fleet polishes off what they were working on and starts in on the Merlin.
Then a Blue Thrasher that wasn't a part of the fleet shows up about the same time the Merlin pops. Since I'm sitting there with a bit of aluminum foil between my pod and vacuum I warp off while the remaining Reds on grid kill the opportunistic thrasher too.
I warped to a safe an then docked up and repaired before heading home (already made the mistake of going to bed with out repairing a ship first. Cost me my pod and implants)
Was really a great night and illustrates why it's so important for us to have plenty of people online to make these fights happen.
My personal tally for the day was 16 kills to 4 losses and 2 of those were in the 1v1's earlier in the day.
Once again the only negative thing I can say about RVB is that you will run through isk like wine. But you'll have a damned good time.
So once again what are ya'll waiting for grab your frigs and come on down.

Great fights last night, and If im having to tell you this then your missing out friend BIG TIME!
Seriously, RVB is a total blast! I dont have time anymore to go looking for fights. When I get on i need action fast and Red Vs Blue has given me instant gratification for almost half a year now... I cant be more gracious about it than that.
Give this RVB a go, you cant lose we allow movement in and out of the corp totally to your discretion..
Two words ... TOTAL FREEDOM!
I hope to melt your hull down or focus your firepower very soon!

Originally by: PewPew McShooty Which side currently has more active targets between 00:00 and 6:00 GMT?
Honestly atm it seems to just vary based on random chance. Some nights blue's got the numbers and others reds are dominating.
I don't think it really matters much at this point. What Blue really needs is a couple more FC's to motivate their guys and get them organized.
Anyrate time for
*********************** *BUMPITY BATTLE REPORT* ***********************
Episode whatever..
Frig Feeding Frenzy.
As usual after watching a little TV I hop in my trusty pod and check out corp chat for action. Not long after that Morphe puts up an advert and people start piling in. We've got some serious numbers so everyone is instructed to stay in frigs and Dessies so I break out my new punisher fit check insurance and undock.
We rally up at a safe and once we have things more or less organized we set course to Blue Republic HQ in Alentene, By this point we have a 20 something frig blob of doom.
As we warp on station a lone rifter who didn't have the wisdom to warp out the second his overview went red and blinky was popped in something like a nanosecond then we moved over to the blue undock to see if we could stir them up for some fun.
We sat there for a long time popping anything that undocked and agressed. The only ones who escaped were the ones with good instas or beef enough tanks to survive long enough to deagress.
This went on for almost an hour we lost a few here and there but the frig swarm remained strong until finally Blue got together an organized enough force to push us off their undock. From there the fights move around to various gates in and around Alentene, No arranged fights just opportunistic skirmishes. With deaths racking up on both sides.
My trusty Punisher lasted pretty much the whole night I repaired it and docked up for more ammo several times. I got out of engagements twice in structure until the final big slug fest of the night Blues engaged us with several BC's and cruisers and a Scorpion on the Alentene gate in Morrales our frig force finally met its match and some of us started coming back in bigger ships. After slipping the begining of the engagement at 57% hull and repairing at the local station I high tailed it back to the Alentene gate.
I was too far from our main force who was taking down a Vexor so I scrambled a Myrmidon and started trying to kill off drones. As my armor was reaching it's end I tried warping out again alas this time the blues managed to keep me pointed and that was the end of my trusty Punisher, As my pod started warping back to Tourier the red fleet closed with the remaining hostiles on the gate. The cursed Myrmidon managed to deagress and slip the gate but the Scorpion decided to go down in a blaze of glory (another bit of killboard padding there)
I reshipped into a Vexor and headed back the theater unfortunately by the time I got there the battle was over, we held the field but at a horrible cost, Ok not really that horrible but it sounds more dramatic.
We headed back to base to regroup and pick up new frigs but by this point people were starting to run out of steam and log off.
Definitely one of the funnest evenings I've had yet in RVB.
My final tally for the night was 12 kills at the cost of one Punisher not too shabby.
So come on down if you want fast paced almost constant PVP RVB is the place to be.

As you can tell by reading the responses to this post, RVB can use pilots from any time slot and of any fashion!
The fact is, we fight a ton and the more the merrier in my opinion...
Check out R-V-B channell ask a few questions and then fly an armada of Frigs, dessies, Cruiser's and anything else your willing to lose right to Allentene or Tourier!
Its that easy, we would love to have more pilots ready and willing to bring the fights period... FC's are needed as well!
Hope to set your hull ablaze or focus your primary firepower as soon as possible!
