War status update

At February the 1^st around 1900 EVE time WeR4 alliance managed to make our high sec alliance Silent Company vulnerable for war declarations with a mechanism that I won’t disclose in here. As the result all of the corporations that were at that time in were declared war on.

As a standard procedure in an event when the Silent Company alliance becomes vulnerable for wars all corporations in the alliance will be booted, unless the source of the war vulnerability can be figured out right away. This will restricts wars to last only 24 hours, or they should if they would not bug.

As the war vulnerability status was changed on a non traditional way (still not telling you) it made the wars bug out. In any normal situation there will be a 24 hour preparation period before the war starts (unless an corporation JOINS an alliance). In our case something different happened.

The war bugged out on SEADC Corporation making it start almost instantly. We had around 10 minutes of warning until the war suddenly went live. As of the result of this some people were caught while traveling and killed by war targets.

This bug only happened on SEADC. Other corporations that were dropped out from the alliance did not have this instant war happen on them. As of now at February the 2^nd at 18:41 the wars on these corporations are scheduled to start at 19:40 which is 24 hours from the declaration of the war.

As SEADC war should also be starting at that time bit is actually already live we can’t know what will happen as normal war mechanism seems to be out of the window. If all goes well SEADCs war should end at 20:00 as indicated on the war information window.

If the war on SEADC doesn’t end it is likely that we are in a hard locked war bug which will require CCPs intervention. A ticket has already been created but due to the DDOs and connection issues we are assuming it will take a good while for replies to come back from CCP on this matter. All we can currently hope for now that wars will drop out when they should drop and not go into some type of second level bug loop.

All corporations that were removed as per protocol from the alliance have been transformed as “full coalition corporations” meaning I have done my backend magic and made sure nothing changes on the member level. Each corporation still has access to all of the same services and channels as before as well as are fully part of the Silent Coalition.

This concludes our report for this moment. Please keep on following the mails and discord notification channel as we get closer to the times when the wars should and or stop.

Here is a summary of what happened:

1 Feb 19:26 – Alliance was made vulnerable for wars
1 Feb 19:27 – War was declared on the alliance
1 Feb 19:27 – Alliance became again invulnerable for wars
1 Feb 19:29 – Emergency boot protocol was activated and corporations were removed from the alliance
1 Feb 19:30 – All corporations inherited the wars from the alliance and the wars were scheduled to start in 24 hours.
1 Feb 19:56 – Multiple events happened resulting into SEADC going thorough the bug and starting the war immediately. Events occurred in this order based on notifications: War suddenly went live without warning, corporation became ineligible for wars, corporation became eligible for wars
2 Feb – War on SEADC has been going on almost 24 hours and should be ending as per of the information provided by the client ingame war info at 19:56
2 Feb 19:56 forward -> Wars for the other silent company corporations should go live for 24 hours
