An Insider gives insight into the backgrounds of Provibloc's failed attempt to anchor a Keepstar Citadel.

Insider talks about the Provi Keepstar

00:00 - 00:05 So the pressure increased and people said: Hey, anchor our Keepstar.

00:05 - 00:07 Come on, we want to finally dock our Supers!

00:07 - 00:10 Well what was Calette suppossed to do... With PL around...

00:11 - 00:16 With so many spies in Provi it would be discovered right away, of course.

00:17 - 00:21 He just anchored it and told nobody.

00:21 - 00:24 It's true!

00:29 - 00:31 It's true!

00:31 - 00:34 And then they told only Test and CO2 about it to prepare.

00:38 - 00:40 It's true!

00:41 - 00:42 And Provi's own FC team?

00:41 - 00:47 Didn't know anything about the anchoring or the plan. Neither did coalition leaders.

00:47 - 00:50 Of course he told Test and CO2 about it.

00:50 - 00:56 And then a few hours before the op, a Reddit post announces the Keepstar timer.

00:58 - 00:59 Most Provi dudes...

00:59 - 01:01 ... learned about their Keepstar from friends in red alliances.

01:04 - 01:06 It was visible on d-scan.

01:06 - 01:08 People talked about it in alliance chat.

01:13 - 01:14 It's true!

01:14 - 01:16 Only 1 hour before the op...

01:16 - 01:20 the StratOp got upgraded to a CTA.

01:21 - 01:27 Max dudes! Max numbers! Max caps!

01:35 - 01:36 Of course that's too short for Provi.

01:36 - 01:39 They need longstanding announcements for such ops.

01:41 - 01:44 But then! One hour before, everything came together, all the planning...

01:44 - 01:47 A CTA was called, a big Abaddon fleet formed as well as caps.

01:47 - 01:49 Support Fleet, TempBlues...

01:50 - 01:53 They didn't online the cynojammer in 3D-

01:54 - 01:56 System wasn't jammed...

01:56 - 01:58 Reds came in and incapped it before it could online.

01:58 - 02:02 And there was nothing stopping enemy caps to come into Provi's own capital staging.

02:05 - 02:07 It's true.

02:10 - 02:11 The cap staging!

02:11 - 02:13 The cap...

02:15 - 02:17 And in all the discussions...

02:17 - 02:20 ... Calette acknowledges no fault for the loss.

02:21 - 02:28 What the Provi dudes don't know is that an op against the Keepstar had already been called a day before the timer.

02:29 - 02:30 On the PL forums?

02:30 - 02:32 On the PL forums!

02:36 - 02:39 Calette says all went well...

02:40 - 02:42 ... until Test leaked to PL.

02:50 - 02:55 As if a leak was even necessary to find out.

02:56 - 02:58 So PL knew 24 hours before Provi members?

02:58 - 03:04 Yeah, pretty much. Most learned it from reds or Reddit.

03:04 - 03:09 Speaks volumes about trust when you tell temp blues before your own FC team.

03:09 - 03:11 Oh Provi, never change...

03:16 - 03:20 And it was crowdfunded.

03:23 - 03:26 Paid by Provi carebear ISK.
