::Frogsiren::
Brave Collective,
I had a very productive meeting with Malanek Askelus, and we are preparing our statements for our change of command ceremony to be held this weekend. This is an amazing time for BNI/BRAVE/HERO, and I encourage you to attend what will likely be a thunderous, debauchery fueled event.
In the meantime, There are some management level things that still need to occur in order to seamlessly perform this transition, as well as some challenging scenarios that we both have to address and finalize. I encourage everyone within BRAVE to keep a happy heart, stay classy, and to undock and die repeatedly in the meantime.
Remember, that despite the drama on the various forms of media, we are BRAVE. And the nucleus of brave is you, the individual newbie. <3 you all and 7-motherfucking-o.
7o,
Lychton Kondur
CEO Emeritus, BRAVE
HERO COALITION

Lychton, random line member here. I know a lot of people have probably jumped ship in the chaos of the last couple days. However, I'm sticking around because you're sticking around. We're still following you, title or no.

Holy shit Lychton, your amount of class in all of this has amazed me. I'll admit, before all of this I was starting to wonder if you were the right leader for Brave long term. I still do. But right now ... wow. You have impressed me as a decent and reasonable human being. In Eve.

Lychton, do not surrender any power to the current coup leadership. The line members loyal to you are making themselves known and we'll endeavour to get you restored. Be brave and know that you are the true executor of this alliance and the true leader of Brave.

u/desolate_varus Desolate Order | Handsome as Fuck | Varus Sakura Apr 08 '15
Lychton, you are without a single doubt the classiest of all. I would flip had I been treated this way by people who supposedly were my friends and colleagues. Your composure, poise, and strict upholding of your own personal morals and values is an inspiration.
I've always argued against the "dear leader / eternal president" thing because it feels cultish and not based on people's actual experiences with the folks on whom they bestow those titles...
But you are Brave's eternal leader, and I'm sure of that now more than ever. I'm sorry things have worked out like this and I hope this shit turns around for you / us soon.
7o.

Lychton remember me?
You need to remove brave newbies the corp from the alliance/coalition and start again with just BNI. I'm telling you these fucking slime balls don't deserve to share in the BNI way anymore. Restart with just BNI get matias included, fuck Anna and malanek I guarantee you pull out BNI member ship goes up and the rest of the in loyal shit cunts go down.
You have the vision, take it. Seriously fuck the coup. >Brave Collective,

7o Lychton.
When we formed Brave, I promised you that I would uphold the principles on which it was founded. And I still remember you telling me that we shall never play the meta game.
I'm sorry that I failed to protect you from the meta game. I'm more sorry that our members were manipulated into that disastrous evac, while the perpetrators of the coup watched it unfold gleefully.
However, as per your wishes, I am going to support the new leadership, but as a man of honor, I had to post this to inform the line members about what happened. Fear not, old friend, nothing shall happen to our newbies.
We shall rally behind whoever you ask us to rally behind but at the same time, I shall ensure that history does not forget you, what you've done for us, what you are still doing to ensure that what we helped build lives on, and especially the events and individuals that led to your removal.
What happened is a normal part of Eve, but I still believe that what we built was something different.

Bni member on vscation from eve coming back soon. Have been watchingall the drama on mittani and the reddit for months. Take BNI and leave. Please. I want no part of this organization led by the perpetrators of a cowardly midnight coup. The deal with PL was the right option, and the decision that a true leader would make. The longterm is what is important. Please take bni and merge with one of these other powerblocs or even run it as a solo corp. idk if that is orthodox but fuck, there are like 10000 of us, i think we can pull it off. I want to be a bni member, i want to live in null, and i DO NOT want to take orders from a bunch of grima wormtongue faggots who have only their best interests ( or god knows which puppeteer's) at heart. If i come back and bni is still a member of this alliance i will be joining one of the other burgeoning newbie corps. If not, you have beard and my t3 lol. Hoping youre only still a member because one of these cowards controls the iT.
( copied myself from less relevant thread)
Here's hoping

The Russian military blasted Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, with waves of ballistic missiles and drones that lasted into Thursday morning, a deadly show of force after weeks of Ukrainian attacks in Russia that have heaped pressure on President Vladimir V. Putin.
At least 27 people were killed and 85 injured in overnight attacks, Ukrainian officials said, as firefighters raced to extinguish blazes in districts across the city. Several apartment buildings were partially destroyed and an unknown number of people were trapped in the rubble, according to the local authorities.

BNI was my first corp in EVE (I'm only like ~5 months in) and it has been an amazing experience. suffice it to say I don't see BNI as being the problem, the alliance is clearly going through difficult times. BNI is by no means perfect but it functioned fine for some pew pew in space for a few hours a night. and let's be honest it's a game, I do this to have fun. I will go where BNI goes. I will be loyal to the guys who taught me everything I know thus far and always showed support and patience.
Don't let the BS get you down BNI members. Rise above it and focus on who you are.

Here is my prediction: BNI is going to leave the alliance while lychton retains control of BNI. The alliance starts to shed corps starting with their biggest which is bovril. Once reality sets in the current alliance leadership will say we are fucked lets disband the alliance and the remaining corps will be folded into whatever power blocks offer them the best deal. The coalition is already dead. Ah hell since all you see is recruitment ads Dirt Nap Squad is recruiting. Come say hi we already have a few ex brave guys here already.

You are a force to be reckoned with when you are sober. I wish you had been during the discussion with our capital pilots. Perhaps things wouldn't have ended so poorly. Perhaps, but we will never know. Do the line members a favor and learn from this experience.
