Hands Off, My Loots!

So, I worked on this post for a little over an hour, highlighted 95% of it, then hit delete instead of control+C…and the wordpress autosaved…I was a bit upset with myself, but here I am, doing it again.

———-

Since I came back to EVE I’ve been doing a bit of Can Flipping and Ninjaing, while training a few basic skills. I’m going to be focussing on getting the learning skills up before the end of April though, that’s my goal…to have those at 5/4 and then throw in the basic core skills.

So, at the moment I’ve flying a Vigil, Probe, and a crappily skilled Rifter…along with my Orca alt to follow me around and do whatever I tell him to. I’ve had a bit of fun so far.

I’ve gotten 2 kills so far, so let me tell you a bit about them, and then I’ll get into a few short chat logs from recent Mission Runners…which I know you all are anxiously waiting for…though, they aren’t THAT good…give me time though!

This first kill is rather lackluster…but a kill is a kill. Not much to say about it so I won’t even bother with the chat log. The jist of the story is I stole some Ore from this noob in a navitas, he convo’d me and asked what I was doing. I told him I was sorry and he could have the ore back. He took it, said thank you, I blew him up…end of story.

The next one was a bit more entertaining for me. I was chilling in Fricoure, skimming through the belts looking for someone to play with before I started searching for some MRs. Low and Behold there is a retriever just happily mining away, tossing his unwanted ore into space. I couldn’t really figure out why he was mining if he didn’t want the ore, but whatever…I went over and took it.

He immediately locked me up, flipped the ore back into his own can, and sent his drones after me. Sweet! I locked up his drones, locked him, pointed him, and started chewing through his T1 drones. Then, silly old me turned off my point . (I had moved it to F2 and forgot about that, though I was reengaging my rockets…oops). Got him into armor and then he warped out.

So, I’m waiting in the belt for my Orca to warp in and grab the ore…when a flashy red Celestis drops in and locks me up while launching 4 more T1 drones. Wow…so I am getting lucky today. Off go my Meta 2 Autocannons and Rocket Launcher while I make sure to not turn off my point this time. Web and pop the drones, and then proceed the 5 minute ordeal of killing his cruiser (noob skills for the win?). During the process I switched ammo a few times to see what would work best, EMP S was the order of the day in the end. During this time the Orca managed to warp in and get me almost a full can of ore.

Then he blew up and warped to the station, where I promptly followed to see if he’d undock in something else. He undocked once in an Exquerer, and redocked when I shot him. After that he let the aggro run out while one of his corp mates warped in in an Ishtar…about 10 minutes after the corp aggro had warn out. Oops?

[ 2010.03.11 15:02:42 ] Ivanna Nuke > It holds the cowbell

Apparently Krunak (which by the way, is on my overview right now as I type this…/evilgrin) was blind and didn’t see how many people were attacking him. Usually I’d give him the shadow of a doubt that maybe he thought my drones were other attackers…but…um…I was in a Rifter.

And as you can see there at the end, Ivanna Nuke from over at Nukes Thoughts was there helping out in local…I must say though, he was rather fond of the Cowbell…talked about it all day. Go read his blog, I hand out with him from time to time and we are always talking about fun ways of getting Tears .

———-

Now, who wants those yummy Mission Runner tears I was talking about?

Episode 1:

This wasn’t really my MR…but there was a fellow Ninja from The Ninja Alliance channel running about in system, so I thought I’d give him a little help in local while he was collecting his own tears, I just felt like mentioning it here!

[ 2010.03.12 14:10:58 ] Doctor Holsten > Aranis LOL
[ 2010.03.12 14:12:09 ] Cyberin > You saw Aranis too? fucking ninja!
[ 2010.03.12 14:12:30 ] Doctor Holsten > Aranis suck my ass))
[ 2010.03.12 14:12:33 ] Aranis Lyautey > Bad ninja bad
[ 2010.03.12 14:15:04 ] Doctor Holsten > Лошпедина)
[ 2010.03.12 14:15:08 ] Aranis Lyautey > Send more fanmail plz
[ 2010.03.12 14:17:03 ] Doctor Holsten > You Block///And -10 stending)Bye!
[ 2010.03.12 14:17:14 ] Aranis Lyautey > oh thank you QQ

Episode 2:

This guy was a trip…

Scanned me down a Kronos, and proceeded to start cleaning up his mess. He responded by shooting his wrecks for a little while .

[ 2010.03.12 14:50:37 ] Cyberin > that’s right, blow them ALL up…if you can’t have them, no one can! go go go gadget Urdnaxela
[ 2010.03.12 14:51:28 ] Urdnaxela Carab > fuck off
[ 2010.03.12 14:51:38 ] Cyberin > no thanks, got laid last night…i’m good
[ 2010.03.12 14:55:29 ] Cyberin > still lots of wrecks here…better get to shooting…i might get a few more!
[ 2010.03.12 14:56:26 ] Urdnaxela Carab > i’ll just let you have them
[ 2010.03.12 14:56:37 ] Cyberin > how nice of you
[ 2010.03.12 14:57:26 ] Cyberin > oh no Urd…you seem to have left 2 BS’s here…

Through the course of 6 minutes, he went from shooting wrecks, to tractoring them in vain as I just grabbed them out of his beams, to rage logging while still in the first pocket of his 3 pocket mission. I count that as a win, and being the generous person I am…I ran around and finished grabbing everything there was while I ignored the 2 Battleship NPCs shooting at me.

Episode 3: (Reason for Title…)

After the Kronos, I found a Navy Megathron hit and was hoping for some fun with him since they are usually whiny little bitches that like to shoot at you. I wasn’t rewarded with either of those really…but, it was entertaining anyway.

[ 2010.03.12 14:00:23 ] Cyberin > if you don’t know another reason, why are you asking?
[ 2010.03.12 14:01:11 ] Stennar > you can take all wrecks^^, its no problem for me……
[ 2010.03.12 14:01:45 ] Cyberin > ok
[ 2010.03.12 14:02:04 ] Stennar > cya o/

Was hoping for Tears, and all I get is “permission” to loot and salvage his stuff…as if I was going to ask him in the first place.

So, off I go, looting the decent stuff, salvaging…all the normal stuff. I finally get to the last room that he is in now and have the following conversation with him when he reopens convo after seeing that I looted. Not spectacular, but…I thought it was enjoyable…more enjoyable that the boring silence had been anyway.

See? They CAN be tamed! Oh, and in case anyone has any further questions…Stennar said I was good…so, it can’t be debated anymore!

That’s that for now…stay tuned for the 3rd Installment of my “Catch-Up” posts…where I continue to throw out my opinions of all the stuff that went on while I was away for a month or so.

And, as a final word…here’s something I saw on OMGRAWR at work the other day, and thought it fit me very well!

“I believe in Karma. Which means i can do bad things to people all day long, secure in the knowledge that they deserve it.”

Sorry about this short post (well, actually I’m not…) but I just had to say something about this.

I like to check what search terms people are using to get to my blog, and after reviewing it today…I’m rather amused…

Yup, I’m still a Blog Packer…even though I went inactive for a month, I sweet talked CK into loving me (it’s those leet ninja skillz!) so I’m still here.  And of course, now that I’m back, you’ll all be getting more than your fair share of my sarcastic assidness…hope you are looking forward to it.

Now…as I said in my last post, I’m working on a few post to cover (and catch up) on what happened while I was “out” of the game for a bit.  And…as you can tell from the title…this one will be about the Blog Pack.

I’m excited to be in the Blog Pack.  Why?  Because it brings me traffic, I get a default spot in Capsuleer (which brings me traffic), and all the chicks dig it (it’s ok Mynx…you can admit it).

Truthfully, I’m not really sure what all the ruckus was about.  People saying it’s a popularity contest, or that people should get to vote on who’s in it, etc.  The simple fact of the matter is that the Blog Pack is CK’s baby…so I’m glad in the end he picked who he thought would be on it.  And as to the popularity contest portion…isn’t that what blogging is?

To say that some blogs aren’t any better than other blogs, or that all blogs should have the same popularity would just be plain idiotic and untrue.  You get out of your blog what you put into it.

I in no way think that the Blog Pack is all the good blogs (I subscribe to well over 400 blogs, and read everyone of them…we do have an AWESOME community).  And from what I have seen, our community sticks together very well, tons of people link to other people; and we have http://www.evebloggers.com, Ga’len, and Keith all of whom keep updated list of the current eve bloggers.

So, to summarize this horribly outlined post (lol, what else do you expect?…I don’t plan these things ):

1. The Blog Pack is CK’s…he makes the decisions…not the community
2. Popularity is a requirement on the internet…we can’t all have it if we don’t try
3. Popularity shouldn’t matter to you…”If You Build It, They Will Come” fits nicely here…if you want your blog out there, get off your lazy ass and make it happen
4. Insert any other points you feel like making up about my post here
5. I’m more specialer than you

Oh, and this post isn’t aimed at anyone in particular…it’s pretty much a kick in the pants to the whole community telling you (if you need to be told) to do what you what, when you want, how you want.  Have fun…don’t stress about shit that doesn’t really matter.

———-

Stay tuned for the next post where I talk about drugs, sex, and lollipops…err…I mean why I’ve come back…or Tyrannis…or some character updates…or a fun chatlog from my “friends”…or…meh…just stay tuned…

While I sat on the midshift at work last night, I managed to get my backlog of google reader blog posts down from 500 or so to a little less than 100….it was an excellent night. Holy crap I missed a lot over the last month while I was gone. I plan on making a few posts over the next few days about the things that transpired during that time…this is the first.

Don’t want anyone to miss out on my awesome setup. (click images to open full size)

1. I keep up with my calendar very well…this image was taken today
2. My cell phone…:)
3. MOMMY!!!!
4. My Computer…wait…WTF??
5. “Say hello to my little friend!” (I love my wife…one of my favorite b-day presents ever…the rounds below the image are real, from the set of Scarface )…at least…they are supposed to be
6. My Loots
7. My Daughters’ Loots

Where is my computer you may ask?  Well…interesting story.

Recently, my laptop started having some screen issues.  It would stay on for a bit, then the screen would just go black.  It still had a “glow” to it…so I figured it was the power inverter going bad.  It was pretty random, so I didn’t think it was a loose wire…but I took the laptop apart anyway, and confirmed there was no loose wires.  Then…I got an excellent idea…

My wife and I have the exact same laptop…so I took her inverter, put it on mine, put mine on hers…and…mine worked, her’s didn’t.  SUCCESS!!! That’s the problem…now all I need to do is buy a $50 inverter for my laptop screen.

What happens next?  Me being the impatient ass that I am didn’t take the batteries out while I was doing this…and while I was moving the 2 inverters back to the correct computers…I accidentally turned on the computers…yet…both of them.

Now, if you don’t know what an LCD Power Inverter is…to put it simply, there is too much power coming from a standard house plug, so the power inverter (through magic!) lesses the voltage going to the screen…so, if it isn’t there…it fries the screen…dead, blown, all gone, kaput…bad and sad .

So now, instead of needing a $50 piece, I need to buy 2 $300 lcd screens for my computers…which, I can’t really afford at the moment…so, I grabbed my two extra monitors (I did have dual screen setup in the office) and hooked them up to the laptops.  And, as to why it’s not in the office…well…we almost got robbed a few month ago and my wife is still paranoid…so I moved my laptop into the living room to be with her, and haven’t moved back yet.

So here you go…my “current” Evespace

oops…that’s not it…that’s my fierce guard dog to keep the burglars away!

Here it is…finally.

1. My lovely trackball mouse…would be a little hard for a normal mouse on the couch…
2. My daughters cell phone?…maybe I got these mixed up…
3. Not mine
4. Mine
5. Aiden’s…I swear!

Just two more views…computer on left is mine, wife is over to the right.

Did you miss me?
