Prosperity was attacked this week. This marks the boldest act of aggression by the Ministry of Destruction to date.
While threatening, the attack did little actual damage, however. AncientGuardian repaired the damage and has added additional defenses so we are in good shape once more.
MODs losses continue to mount as well. They lost three ships, including a battleship to Prosperity's defenses and Mort Eveson downed one of their pilots in Intaki today.
There are rumblings to form an alliance, more specifically to join the United Star Federation. Since that group has all but abandoned the Intaki System, I am hesitant to walk that path.
I have nightmare visions of a repeat of The Star League. That jackass Marcus Tedric and his betrayal of the Intaki people has left a wound from which I fear I will not soon.

Time to go home
Recruiting didn't go as well as I would have liked, but I did manage to get what I believe are a couple of quality recruits.
I'm not going to give up on trying to find some new members, but I'll do it through the forums and not in the rookie system.
I went home last night and it was good to be prowling those old familiar belts. I was joined by some senior ILF pilots and a couple of the rookies. Chemtar even made an appearance.
It was a very nice homecoming.

Betrayed
The Intaki Liberation Front has been betrayed by one of our most trusted allies.
Marcus Tedric has shown his true colors and will forever be known by me as a traitor to the cause of the Intaki people. He is a liar and a hypocrite of the first order and has proven himself to be as stubborn and obstinant as a jack ass mule.
(Marcus Tedric)
After pledging in March to support the Intaki Liberation Front in its efforts to bring peace and stability to the Intaki System, Marcus did just about everything he could to keep out of the system. Not only would the coward not fly in Intaki's defense he would not even part with a few isk to help fund those of who do.
No amount of effort on my part could convince him to play an active role in meeting the goals outlined within The Star League Charter.
I nearly gave up on the alliance, but was persuaded to stay and move forward by the other members who said to forget about Marcus and go on without him. I chose to stay in the alliance, but foolishly made one last attempt bring Marcus on board.
I was unable to do so, although I did manage to prove once and for all what a treacherous villain Marcus Tedric truly is. Acting on his own, without ratification of The Star League Council and obviously without authorization from the President (which was me) Marcus Tedric assumed dictatorial control of the league and expelled the Intaki Liberation Front from the league.
I'd like to say I was stunned, but that would be a lie. I was disappointed. That is true.

Recruitment diary
Recruiting continues to be one of the hardest parts of my job. When I founded the ILF (has it really been almost two years now?) I certainly never expected to be in this situation at this point.
I guess I was just a bit naive of the whole process. I thought the corp would be viral and grow as older members attracted newer ones. I thought if I got big enough people would just come to me.
What I've found, though, is that the corp requires constant tending. It's just occurred to me that the corp is like a garden. Old plants must be pruned and new ones planted. Some grow for many months or years, others bloom quickly and then are gone.
I'm writing from Duripant, 9 jumps and a billion miles from home. I miss Intaki. I wish I was with Ayd'n, Shamus and the others. But if I run home and take up the fight today, who will be there to fight tomorrow.
No, I must remain vigilant. I must find new blood to fill our ranks and grow this corp into a force to be dealt with.

A time to rebuild
It certainly has been a rough couple of months for the Intaki Liberation Front. We've seen a lot of friends head off to new adventures and the rise of faction warfare in the home system is a constant threat that I don't know how to deal with.
For now, I suppose, it is a time to rebuild. I'll have to up the recruitment effort and fill out the ranks before we can make any meaningful progress.
If only recruiting weren't such a hassle and yielded better results. C'est La Vie.
