ExplicitDeclarations of War Podcast Episode Nine! | Welcome to the Declarations of War Podcast Nine! Apologies for delays- as always, it’s Jimer’s fault. I’m being punished by not being allowed to be in tonight’s cast. So, no rant from me. Truth to tell, my computer decided it prefers to imitate bricks than spaceships, but a new motherboard is coming this weekend. Even more exciting, I haven’t listened to it yet! So I don’t have the agenda for you. It was edited by the inimitable Erichk Knaar, who gets nowhere near the credit he deserves for- well, for anything, really. It’s appreciated! Enjoy the podcast! I know I will. Quick edit: Go check out http://www.planetriskshow.com/Â because they freaking rule and are guests on this episode!

ExplicitDeclarations of War Podcast Episode Seven! | Welcome to the Declarations of War Podcast Seven! Got a nice meaty cast for you today. Be sure to tip your waitress. Tonight’s “agenda”:  -Scheduling “issues”. Delays? It’s Jimer’s fault.  -Shoutouts (with apologies to various Noir. member’s sisters).  -Results of “What would Noir. mean if it was an acronym?”  -Contract wrapup- Paladin Order OPFOR  -Contract wrapup- Malum Exuro.   -False starts.   -Carrier kills, nom nom nom nom.   -Epic wormhole gank.  -EVE News   -Dust 514- this time with actual information.   -EBANK Implosion- It’s a Ponzi scheme. Shocking.   -NC helping Goons get their former holdings back. Good times all around.   -Coracao Ardente closes its doors (:sadface:)  -This Week in Mercs   -We need theme music.   -Stealthfield Revisited (ed: Too many alliances with “X’ at the beginnng/end of their names)   -Sir, the Kraken! (Giant Squid Corp declares war on Noir.)   -Followup on joining/leaving alliances to avoid wardecs.   -GM Fail (AGAIN): Noir. gets a warning for leaving and rejoining alliances to avoid wardecs. It’s OK to laugh, we did too. And for the fourth time, we go over how badly the GMs mangle the management of this game- for example, by levering warnings against one of most active PVP corps in EVE for- yes- attempting to avoid wardecs. >.> Good game!  -In conclusion: A dramatic reading of local smack.   -In lieu of a Jimer Rant, we present Takezo Kenzei going off on Zedrik Cayne after Noir. ganked some carriers. Truly a goldmine of lol.   -Dramatis Personae:   Takezo Kenzei: Jimer Lins   Zedrik Cayne: Kan3r Blaze   Miscellaneous guy in local: Alekseyev Karrde  -Conclusion and Signoff If you like our dramatic reading, send us your best smacktalk logs and we’ll take the best ones and turn them into dramatic readings too! We’re looking for the best you can give us, so we can have a fun and funny segment for the podcast. Enjoy the podcast!

ExplicitDeclarations of War Podcast Episode Six | Hey! Here it is. The long-delayed Podcast Episode Six. First off, my apologies for not having this done sooner. The podcast was recorded the 17th of August and sat, forlorn, on my hard drive, awaiting the love of the edit, which due to my real life and workload, did not come in a timely manner. In fact, there’s some amusement value in this one- We discuss Dust 514- two days before CCP announced what it was going to be about! So you can look back through the lens of history- well, two weeks of it- and see what people thought Dust was going to be. Decide for yourself if we’re visionaries or just idiots. But don’t tell us which, I don’t think our hearts could take the truth. Tonight’s Agenda: * Alek is on vacation, so we have a guest host and Noir.’s newest officer (at the time) McCreary075. * Some shoutouts (don’t worry, it’s short!) * EVE News- Dust 514, ISK sellers spamming the hell out of the forums, mass hysteria! * This week in Mercs- “mercs” offering free wardecs if you pick an interesting target, F-OFF coming back into the biz. * Jimer has a few words to say about ISK sellers. In the future the podcast should be every two weeks. We tried for a weekly thing but the content just wasn’t there and frankly the time investment made it a lot harder to maintain that pace. Now we record every week and release the following week. By the way, Episode Seven is already recorded and awaiting its own round of editing love- expect it this coming weekend! Your frequently tardy, but never retarded host- Jimer Lins. Declarations of War Podcast Direct download iTunes Feed | 9/2/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Good info
One of my favorite eve related podcasts. If you want to know what its like to be a Merc, plus other eve goings-on, this is the podcast to listen to.
Always an interesting listen
Informative, well-paced, and an occassional rant. What's not to like? You don't have to be a merc or pew-pew fanatic to appreciate what these guys have to say.
Refreshingly different
The main difference between Noir. podcast and the others is their focus on mercenary aspects of the game.
They give reviews of previous contracts and also helpful hints for PvP sometimes.
Overall a very enjoyable podcast
