Hands Off, My Loots!

Alright, I’ve been back in game for 2-3 months now so I guess now is a good time to talk about all the changes since I went on my last little leave of absence…as if anyone actually cares.

———-

First and foremost…I am no longer in the Ninjas anymore.  Lots of people already know that, but I never officially mentioned it.  I finally bit the bullet and decided to join up with Velocity Prime and the Misfit Toys in nullsec.  Truthfully, 0.0 was the one thing in EVE I’d never tried, and actually never wanted to because cap fights and lag didn’t sound fun at all.

I’m glad I did though, because my new alliance, Clockwork Pineapple, is awesome…and it’s nothing like the 0.0 I imagined.  There’s always fights…plenty of dumb people…and gives fun scamming possibilities (read my recent post on that if you haven’t already…).  The one thing that’s really cemented it I’d have to say would be Clockwork.  For anyone that doesn’t know about them, they were originally in Goons, and a long while ago split off and became their own Alliance…and as far as I know have no plans to do the Sov Game anytime soon (which is good for me).  So, for those few of you that told me recently I suck because I’m a goon now…you are wrong…I’m a gRoon…sort of…technically I’m a Droog…but whatever.

———-

What else has happened? Lots…

I bought a Cap character to try out, didn’t enjoy it that much and am currently selling him as I write this.  I’m already back up to 5 accounts, though the one with the Cap character will be closed once I sell him off.

Cyb is up to 12.3 Mil SPs (and since I’ve been playing since 2007…I’ve finally decided to stop rerolling since that’s a far cry from what I SHOULD have right now).

My alts are all doing there thing, scouting, trading, hauling, scamming, infiltrating…not much details I can give on all that other than to say once I get this Cap character sold, I’ll be up to a little over 40bil net worth…it’s good being rich again.  For those of you that don’t know…I used to be a very big time trader before I quit EVE last time, and have started getting back into that, running a few investments for TEARS, etc…and will probably be expanding my reach in that field a bit more in the short term future as a way to pay for all the expensive ships I want to get blown up.

———-

I’ve got so many logs from stuff I’ve done since I’ve gotten back, that I’ve decided I’m not going to post anything with them…because looking through 3 months of logs on 5 characters with 5-10 channels open all the time on each results in an amount of effort I am not willing to devote to it.  So, hopefully I’ll start getting some more Tears and retarded people to post about soonish.

———-

What am I going to do with Hands Off, My Loots! since I’m no longer a Ninja?

That’s a good question…and actually the reason I haven’t been posting for so long…trying to figure that out has been a pain.  I want to keep the same humorous/asshattery feel as I’ve always had…but realize I no longer have Ninjaing as a way to get those yummy Tears.

Why don’t you go ninja from time to time, you say?  Well..truthfully, I haven’t had fun doing it in a while…the amount of effort it was taking to find people and get them to shoot just got old on me, so I don’t have any desire to do it in my ‘spare’ time (as if I have any with all my alts doing crap).

As a result, the blog will lose it’s “Only Ninja Stuff” theme and become more of a repository for the general asshattery I get up to these days.  Infiltration, scamming, killing sucky people in Nullsec, etc.  I will try my hardest to get lovely Tears out here in Null (it’s possible), and I’m sure the recruitment channel will bring quite a few drops to the bucket as well.  Though, from time to time, those industrialists out there might even get a nice update on what I’m doing on that side of my accounts…maybe.

———-

And that’s about it for now…though, if anyone has any ideas on stuff they’d like to see me talk about (custom requests, wtf?) or try to accomplish that would result in a funny ass blog post…let me know, I’d love to cater my asshattedness to special projects of interest to readers.

———-

Oh, one last thing…I’m gonna try and get the rest of the Toys to quit slacking…I’ve only been active for 2-3 months and I’m already the alltime killer on the boards…what gives peeps?

Well, for like the 3rd or 4th time…I’m no longer a Ninja. I’ve gone over to join up with Velocity Prime with the Misfit Toys. Don’t worry…I’ll still hopefully be posting plenty of tears…as soon as I start getting some…been kinda slow for me lately because I’ve been on vacation.

———-

I’d been thinking about leaving the Ninjas for a while, possibly making my own one man corp to dec mission runners…but I have such a strong connection with the Ninjas it has been a rather hard thing to do. But with some personal stuff that came up recently, and the fact that most of the time when I log in I either spin in the station…or flounder around for hours waiting for someone to shoot me…when no one ever does, I decided it was time to take the leap again. As always, the Ninjas are the reason I’ve stayed in EVE, and the group that made me realize what I enjoy most in EVE. So it’s bitter sweet to be leaving again, but it’s just something I had to do.

For those of you who haven’t heard of the Misfit Toys, we are a high sec wardec corp (for now…) and just love having fun killing people when we can. It was started by Velocity Prime a little while after he resigned as CEO of the Ninjas…and it’s been going along very well.

If you’d like to know more about us indepth…click the link up there in the first paragraph…it’ll explain a lot.

Now, hopefully I’ll have some tears for everyone soon

I’m finally getting around to making a specific format for these month character status posts, so I hope you all find it as interesting as I do!

———-

First, this isn’t really a character section per say, but it’s something I will be doing every month to try and show how the blog is progressing topic wise.  I was debating on whether I wanted to make this it’s own separate post, but since most things in the blog come from my character habits anyway…this should be a good place.

In case anyone is wondering what it is…Flashfresh recently posted it, and it seems to simply create a word cloud from the most commonly used words in the text you give it.  In this case, I gave it a link to the entire blog.

When I came back, I said I was going to try and spend less time in EVE and more time with my family.  Although I always seem to be logged in, I’m normally AFK doing stuff with the family, so I think I’m doing pretty good on that side of things.  I am however already up to 3 accounts.  Cyberin, my main character, is on one account.  Another account holds my Orca alt, and the third account is a Supar Sekrit!

Cyberin:

• 2,441,555 Skillpoints
• 5 Skills at Level V
• 6 Skills at Level IV
• 23 Skills at Level III
• 79 Total Skills
• Rough estimated networth of ~4 Billion

This time around I have decided to work mostly on my Learning Skills.  So, although I have leart a few other skills, 1.7 Million of my total 2.4 Million Skill Points are in Learning.  The rest are mostly engineering and electrons, with a few other pvpish skills thrown in there.  The other skills were so I could have a bit of fun roaming belts can flipping and of course salvaging/scanning skills.  They are all subpar…but will of course be trained up once I finish getting my learning skills trained up in the next 14 days.

Orca Alt:

• 5,318,301 Skillpoints
• 11 Skills at Level V
• 13 Skills at Level IV
• 9 Skills at Level III
• 45 Total Skills
• Estimated networth of ~550 Million

This is my Orca alt.  My plan for this character is to work on Remote Repair skills (about 60 days current training skills for T1 Shield/Armor RR), then after that to either do trade/refining or Leadership.  Once all of that is done, I’ll go for Logistics ships, and then maybe freighters, etc.  Somewhere in there I’ll throw learning skills in so I can have an alt scanner if needed.

Supar Sekrit Alt:

• Nothing to see here, move along

Really…nothing to see…

———-

And, this section is more for me and less for everyone else…but who knows, you might like it too.  I though it would be interesting to see how the travels of a character progress over time, so I will be putting this image in every monthly status post to keep track of my growing travels in New Eden (only for Cyberin, not my alts).

Places I've Been - Current as of March 2010

You’ll notice it’s all High-Sec space, haven’t ventured out into Low-Sec at all yet.  The majority of my time is spent in Gallente space near dodixie, though as you can tell I’ve been on a few trips to the other factions space as well.  That can be attributed to either can-flipping roams, or Jita/Amarr/Rens runs to pickup new shinies or to sell old shinies.

I was going to put a monthly killboard link here, but all I could manage to find was the recent activity page.  If anyone knows how to show a specific month for a specific pilot…that would be nice to know

I’m surprised Aiden hasn’t made a post about it yet, but I’d just like to congratulate him publically on his promotion to Samurai Grand Master.

I’m sad to see Velocity Prime give up the reigns as CEO, it just seems weird calling Aiden my boss now, lol.  I’ve been with Suddenly Ninjas for a while now, off and on of course…and out of all this time Aiden is probably one of the ‘closest’ friends I’ve made in game so far.  I know I can always count on him when needed…and I’m 110% sure that he will do awesome things for the Ninjas and TEARS.

As to VP…well, I’m glad you’ll be staying in game man, and although you won’t be around much, most of us are already used to that lol.  I wish you very good luck and happiness with your new family addition.  If it gets too much to handle, remember…parachute chord, a chair, duct tape, and a closet works wonders for stress management.

Things are changing for the Ninjas…it’s new, it’s exciting, and you damn well better believe you are going to be hearing a lot more from us soon!

Did you miss me?
