Hands Off, My Loots!

This is no where near a normal post for me…but I have to do it.

If you are a gambler, and like to spend lots of ISK in order to hopefully make lots MORE ISK…you need to check this lotto out…it’s run by a good friend of mine that I’ve known for a long ass time…

Cyber Services PURE ISK Lottos!

Chances of winning are 1 in 6, and you can buy tickets for pots from 50, to 900 Million ISK (and from talking with him, they’ll start going higher than that eventually).

So…if you like to gamble…hit that up

(you are welcome)

I’m gonna try something new.  I’m actually going to start posting more!  Like…hopefully every time I get some tears, I’m going to log off, and post about it.  It probably won’t happen like that…but I’m tired of going through days and days worth of chat logs to refresh my memory of stuff.

First off for today, this is not entertaining in the least, but as I was salvaging the other day, I warp in to a Raven’s Mission…and what do I see?  He’s tractoring a can of loot behind him.  He’s looted the entire mission for me already…YOINK!…then I warp in the Orca, pick up the loot…and he never shoots, but hey…that can had about 15mil ISK worth of loot in it so I was happy.  Glad he got his hands off my loot! (see what I did there?)

Oh, and while I was going through the logs, I noticed this (which I didn’t see in local at the time…I was just traveling through some belts while can flipping)

George Nutz > Sup Cyberin

Not sure if this was a fan giving me a shout out, or if it was someone I was bumping in a belt…I really don’t remember.  So if it’s a fan….HAI!!!!

Mr. Deeds:

This guy was in a Drake, and he has a really interesting way with words.  This has nothing at all to do with the title of this thread (that’s the next chat log).  But I thought this conversation warranted conversation.  Please comment with whether you think he meant option A or option B…I’m going to forward him the results of this little comment poll via evemail.

[ 2010.07.14 16:45:46 ] Starcatcher Deeds > Go kill your own ass hole
[ 2010.07.14 16:45:51 ] Cyberin > no thanks

Then…he closed convo…leaving me very confused!  I actually had to ponder for a bit, scratch my head and say “WTF?” a few times…then, it just got the better of me so I convoed him again.

[ 2010.07.14 17:13:48 ] Cyberin > o/ again

[ 2010.07.14 17:13:59 ] Cyberin > what exactly does that mean?
[ 2010.07.14 17:14:25 ] Starcatcher Deeds > it means your a frackin thief ashole
[ 2010.07.14 17:14:32 ] Cyberin > i steal assholes?
[ 2010.07.14 17:14:46 ] Cyberin > damn…that was the wrong quote
[ 2010.07.14 17:14:47 ] Starcatcher Deeds > you suck them

Crap…copy/paste fail.  Suddenly Ninjas have a habit of posting tears in corp chat for others to revel over…Mr. Deeds provided that gem for me in local after our initial chat, so I had to share (I had already shared the killing of my own fecal matter ejection system with them…).  I forgot I didn’t have his first statement still on the clipboard…so it was a little embarrassing…easy enough to fix though!

[ 2010.07.14 17:15:09 ] Cyberin > [16:45:46] Starcatcher Deeds > Go kill your own ass hole
[ 2010.07.14 17:15:17 ] Cyberin > that’s the one i was wondering about…
[ 2010.07.14 17:15:24 ] Starcatcher Deeds > not going to fight you so piss off
[ 2010.07.14 17:15:35 ] Cyberin > is that…kill my own asshole?…or…go kill your own, asshole?…
[ 2010.07.14 17:16:08 ] Starcatcher Deeds > hehehhehehe just bugger off
[ 2010.07.14 17:16:11 ] Starcatcher Deeds > bye
[ 2010.07.14 17:16:14 ] Cyberin > o/

Sadly, I still didn’t get an answer.  Usually, I’d take this up with his CEO and see if he knew…but alas, Mr. Deeds is his own CEO.

So, what do you think? (comments please)

Option A: Go kill your own asshole! (as in, killing my personal rectal cavity…)
Option B: Go kill you own! Asshole! (as in, go kill my fellow ninjas…and that I am a jerk…)
Option C: Neither…this dude is just a total fuckwad!

Now, to the good stuff you have all been waiting for…BECAUSE OF FALCON!!!

Arden, over at Ninja Hi-Jinx found himself an Abaddon with an Itchy trigger finger…and I was in system so I thought I’d go watch the fight, and take some loot while I was at it.  Now, this Abaddon had some kind of hellish tank on it…Arden thought he might be very blingy…so I was getting ready to go grab a scan ship when the Abaddon shot at me too! (I had looted something, didn’t actually expect him to shoot at me though…what an idiot).  So, scan ship idea was put on hold as I warped to the Orca and grabbed my Gank Cane, Banana Smoothie.

I get back, and go to town on this Abaddon (I forgot the dudes name…he never said a word in local so I can’t really find out what it was).  Minutes go by (long minutes…this dude has one hell of a tank, me in my cane, and Arden in his Sleip are having trouble cracking him).  We are getting close…and…my client crashes! SHIT!!! Log back in!  But what is this?  It didn’t just crash…it FROZE…so I had to ctrl+alt+delete to get it closed out so I could reopen it.  Once I log back in, I reacquire lock and we start working on him again.

About a minute later…a neutral Falcon warps in.  Except, it’s not really neutral…it’s one of his corp mates…that doesn’t have aggro on either me or Arden.  Wanna guess what happens next?  You are correct…CONCORDOKKEN!!!!

This is the conversation that followed with the Falcon pilot.

[ 2010.07.16 14:37:48 ] Cyberin > that was a horrible time for me to DC

No lie…it really was!  The Abaddon was in structure when the Falcon jammed me and Arden…if I hadn’t DCed…he’d have died.

[ 2010.07.16 14:37:59 ] Ultramrine > Horrible time for me to be a noob
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:02 ] Cyberin > lol
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:06 ] Cyberin > that was pretty funny
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:11 ] Ultramrine > yeah i had a laugh.
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:19 ] Cyberin > you an alt, or a corpy?
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:21 ] Ultramrine > corpie is screaming for help
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:24 ] Cyberin > lol
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:29 ] Ultramrine > so i come to the rescue, not thinking.
[ 2010.07.16 14:38:38 ] Ultramrine > clicked the jams and was like ‘fuuu!’
[ 2010.07.16 14:39:08 ] Cyberin > yeah, we were wondering when we saw a falcon warp in

This guy seems ok, but…in all reality?  Pretty idiotic move to suicide a Falcon…when there is this popup that says “Are you sure you want to do this?  If you do…Concord will rape you in the ass with no protection”…

Didn’t get a popup?  Well…then you disabled it…which is an even more idiotic move…turn it back on, k?

[ 2010.07.16 14:39:26 ] Ultramrine > either way we saved money.
[ 2010.07.16 14:39:35 ] Ultramrine > and no km for you! haha
[ 2010.07.16 14:39:59 ] Cyberin > yeah, it’s a good tactic…people don’t normally do it with falcons though
[ 2010.07.16 14:40:13 ] Ultramrine > i wasn’t intending to do it either but meh.

This part is why I think he’s lying a little later on…they ‘saved money’…Falcon’s aren’t cheap…

[ 2010.07.16 14:41:19 ] Ultramrine > you write my loot your tears yourself?
[ 2010.07.16 14:41:37 ] Cyberin > Hands Off, My Loots
[ 2010.07.16 14:41:44 ] Ultramrine > sorrry, thats it.
[ 2010.07.16 14:41:52 ] Ultramrine > I read it, nice blog. One of my favourites.
[ 2010.07.16 14:42:00 ] Cyberin > you’ll be on there soon
[ 2010.07.16 14:42:26 ] Ultramrine > Hahaha awesome. Woth the loss then!

HAI!!!…I still think you’re an idiot though, don’t suicide T2 ships, k? Thanks for reading though!

[ 2010.07.16 14:43:23 ] Cyberin > any way you could see if your corpy could show me the fit he had? he had a hellish tank…
[ 2010.07.16 14:43:46 ] Ultramrine > sure.
[ 2010.07.16 14:45:27 ] Ultramrine > Abaddon
[ 2010.07.16 14:47:10 ] Cyberin > lol, there’s no way he would have tanked us in that fit
[ 2010.07.16 14:47:30 ] Ultramrine > well he was
[ 2010.07.16 14:47:57 ] Cyberin > very hard to believe…but interesting
[ 2010.07.16 14:50:58 ] Cyberin > well, have a good one got other people to try and kill o/ most likely blog post will be up in a few days
[ 2010.07.16 14:51:13 ] Ultramrine > haha nice. Good hunting.

The fit he linked was just a standard mission Abaddon fit, no shinies or anything…just T2 stuff.  Although this character was 4 years old, I still find it hard to believe he tanked a Gank Cane and a Sleipnir for as long as he did (not sure how long…but it was a LONG time).  But, I can’t really say either way…it could happen if his tanking skills were awesome I guess…but, meh…all that matters in the end was I didn’t get my kill…BECAUSE OF FALCON!

Still no kills since I’ve been back (actually, that’s a lie…just got one today, but that’s for another post )

Really!…right there! he saw it

I wasted my time and my faction ammo on his rats and didn’t even get a kill…oh well, at least I got to shoot something.

oh, and…short post is short, if you’d like something to occupy your time…check out this video

Over the past year or so, quite a few Ninja Salvaging blogs have popped up.  Some of them are still going strong, while others kind of fizzeled out due to lack of play time/posting (I was one of these for a few months sadly…real life struck…but I’m back! YAY!!!!)

So, I thought that I’d give all my fellow ninjas a shoutout, while I’m annoucing the creation of the Eve Ninja Pack!

What? You’re competing with CK and the Blog Pack? Nope, I’m not…I’m just listing all the Ninja Blogs so I thought I’d give it a shiny name.

Anyway, without further ado..here’s the EVE NINJA PACK!!!

Most of the Ninja Pack right now is current, or former, members of Suddenly Ninjas.  This is simply because they are really the only Ninja Blogs I know about.  If you have a Ninja Blog, or know of one that isn’t on the list, please leave me a comment, or email me (cyberineve at gmail dot com) and I’ll add it.

One final thing:

A lot of people don’t know that I am a web host, and have been one for going on a decade now.  I didn’t want to compete with any of the other free/paid Eve hosts (yet…;)).  But, I would like to mention, that I offer free hosting to any Eve Ninja Blogger.  The free hosting that I provide is a full hosted account (not like the free podlogs or evepress where you don’t have total control).  I give you a cpanel (hosting controller) account, and full access to your site…you can upload anything you want (well…almost anything), and have full control over every aspect of your site…for free.

Domain wise, I can either hook you up with something.myloots.com, or you can buy your own domain, or I can buy one for you for $10/year (possibly ISK if we talk about it).

If you want to take me up on my offer…just shoot me an evemail (cyberineve at gmail com).

Well, I’ve been off and on a lot lately as you’ve noticed from my last two posts.  I’m back in game pretty much full time now, everything (well, still some personal stuff, blah blah) seems to be going well out of game now…if only things were going good in game .

Since I rerolled my character back in February, and then took another 3 month hiatus…I’m still a flying noob when it comes to skills.  I’ve been all over the place (I can’t just break the habit) so I still can’t really fit any ship decently, though I do have a rifter, battle vigil, and as of today a rupture I’ve been flying around in.

I actually don’t have many Tears for you today.  This post today is mostly about how can-flipping isn’t as fun as it used to be, and my complete failure to coax people into shooting me lately.  Are people starting to get smarter? Say it ain’t so!

[ 2010.07.07 00:58:35 ] decaigo > ill give you a chance to return or have the 939th corp after your ass

[ 2010.07.07 00:59:19 ] Cyberin > which corp is that? one that you aren’t a member of?

I stole this guys ore, a less than a full can of it…and of course got the standard threat.  I never heard from the “939th” and truthfully was a bit confused…because neither his corp, nor his alliance, has the number 939 in it…

[ 2010.07.07 15:10:23 ] Cyberin > are you here to avenge the ore that your corpy gave to me?
[ 2010.07.07 15:10:34 ] Silver Rook > lol nope

[ 2010.07.07 15:13:21 ] Cyberin > fight to hull and don’t kill each other maybe?

Even when I’m being nice they won’t shoot me .  This guy showed up in system after I stole the ore from one of his corp mates.  I thought maybe he was here to protect his brethren…but sadly I was wrong…again.

[ 2010.07.09 04:46:10 ] Zeo Salis > sorry mate, i have much mining to do

I’m 100% certain this guy was an alt, but…he didn’t fight either…damn miners these days. (he was 5 or so days old)

And then there’s the biggest fail of all.  Today while I was running around in Ruvas, I found a group of 5 people, a Hurricane, Osprey, Myrmidon, Raven Navy Issue, and Machariel.  I stopped in there mission, took what salvage I could get (they Osprey and Cane were looting/salvaging)…swiped quite a few wrecks out from under their tractor beams…but didn’t loot because they all had drones out and I didn’t feel like dying in my vigil at the time.

A few hours later, I found them again, minus the Mach. This time I looted, waited about 3 minutes, and the Navy Raven shot at me.

Now, I had just put together a Rupture earlier in order to finish killing someones rats to take their mission item (Ship’s Crew from the damaged Heron) so I warp to the Orca, jump in that, and then put the Orca alt into a 2 Large Shield Rep Osprey.  Then I warp back into the first gate and wait.

Soon enough, the Navy Raven warps back in, I point him, kill all his drones with my drones, and start laying into him with my Faction EMP (with my horrible noob skills).  It took me about 10 minutes because I had to keep warping my RR alt in and out because he shot at him too…but I got him down to 20% shields…but I couldn’t keep him capped out with my medium and small neut because I was low on cap and didn’t have any boosters.

So, while I watched one of his friends in a Myrm (the one from his fleet…corp aggro had run out) suicide themselves on me, and made his RR alt warp out in low structure…his ship self destructed and I died a little inside.  But in the end…he shot at a Ninja…and lost his ship.

So, everyone point and laugh at Erlor…and tell him next time to let me blow him up!

[ 2010.07.12 23:16:12 ] Cyberin > ransom?
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:12 ] Erlor > was
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:17 ] Erlor > ?
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:41 ] Cyberin > pay me 500mil and i won’t kill you
[ 2010.07.12 23:16:52 ] Erlor > lol

Apparently he was glad I didn’t have a Cane too…:(

———-

Moral of the story?  Miners need to shoot more, and I am buying a Hurricane and a better gank fit Rupture tomorrow.  I’d have killed him if I had either a Cane, or a cap booster on my Rupture …thems the breaks though.

Hopefully I’ll have some wonderful Tears for everyone soon…I plan on going on a rampage this weekend.

Oh, and that guy that I took his Heron Crew? here’s a short chat with him…which is where he annoyed me, and made me spend 2 hours killing those rats in the last room with my shitty Rupture just to get his mission item to sell back to him.  It’s on contract for 10mil now.

He came back in a Manticore after I looted his wrecks but even though he had a friend there with him he wouldn’t shoot a second time (he had shot before while he was in a Navy Raven (yes, 2 shot at me today)…but had docked to wait out the timer.  And then I guess he thought I was a noob and tried to get me to concord myself…lol.
