Hands Off, My Loots!

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

First off, read this, and then read this…and then my comment I made on that second post you can read below where I’ve quoted it. Stabs, over at Stabbed Up recently lost his Caldari Navy Raven due to his own fault. While I enjoy reading his blog, and have nothing against him personally…what everyone should realize here…is that his ship died, and it was his fault.

Here’s my quick response to his second blog post…

I’m extremely upset that you got your ship back. You were killed by valid ingame tactics, and one that ninjas use every day. Extending aggro is not an exploit, nor is it cheating. It is a functioning game mechanic…if you shoot me, I extend aggro.

Your aggression timer was still showing….so you still KNEW that he could kill you…so you made two mistakes. You shot a ninja, and then you undocked when you KNEW he could kill you.

I will be making my own petition to ask about this, as well as linking your blog here in C&P (hope you don’t mind…) to see what others think about this.

I have no qualms with people getting ships back if stuff was exploited…but in your case, there was no exploits used…and you should NOT have gotten a ship back.

As a lot of people probably know, you can extend aggro by aggressing someones wrecks or cans in space. This is an included feature of the game, and in no way an exploit. When you take a shot at someone…you need to watch your aggro timer, because…it will always update. So if it’s 2 hours later, and it is still there…simply don’t undock if you don’t want to be blown up.

If you don’t agree with the fact that it’s possible, then that’s your prerogative…but the fact of the matter is that it does exist…and the fact that a Senior GM reimbursed someone for their own stupidity pisses me off, especially when previous GMs (and I’m sure the Senior GM himself) know there was no exploit used. Next time a mission runner blows me up, I’m gonna petition it and get my vigil reimbursed by linking to Stabs’ post…by all accounts, it should work right?

What’s your opinion on the matter?

(p.s….I’m not a ninja anymore (again), expect a few posts shortly been busy ingame and on travel the last 2 weeks)

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)

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!!!

Active:
Broke Ass Ninja
ClockWork Scream
Death by Velator
Diary of a Garbageman
The Fang
Finders & Keepers
Hands Off, My Loots!
Ironfleet Towing And Salvaging
My Loot, Your Tears
Ninja Extravaganza

Random Drivel
Rifter Experiences
Suddenly, News!
The Voice of the Unity

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).

I’m late as always…I still have 300 blogs to finish reading in my google reader…so I’m like 1.5-2 weeks behind on all my comments and replies at the moment…I get it down to 200…go to sleep…and wake up to 301…

Anyway, Rixx posted a new blogger Meme about what ships we are flying.  Original post is over here.

———-

I’ve got ships all over, some I use, so I don’t…whatever.

Orca (Bobo)- Orca alt flies this…obviously.  It’s good for shenanigans.

Dominix – Left over from last reroll, it’s sitting in Hevrice…I can’t fly it…it’s shield purger rigged…if anyone wants to buy a domi…let me know.

Osprey (Blue Streams, and NoobAlt’s Osprey) – Noob alt has one to…well…do nothing with, Orca alt uses one for Shield rep.

Thrasher (Praetor, OH Shit SON!, Over There) – These are used for either running level 1 and 2 missions (yes…I do do them sometimes…everyone needs standings), suicide ganking people, or sitting in Jita, sensor boosted…killing suiciders or-10s.

Coercer (No Name) – Left over from a few weeks ago when I had the great idea to switch to Amarrian ships…I changed my mind.

Bestower (Golden Turd) – Hauler…or bait…you pick

Badger Mark II (Porcheesy) – Bait…(when I can fly it anyway…can’t yet)

Exequror (Cold Dish) – Armor Repper for Orca Alt

Rifter (Diplomacy, Don’t Shot Please!, Never Gonna…) – I use these for can flipping, and other fun stuff.  Either active tanked, or buffer tanked…usually buffer tanked.

Vigil (Hands Off, My Loots!, Sexy, Flipper, Bestower) – These are useful.  Either Salvaging, Safe Spot Making, or Can flipping. (story about that coming soon )

Probe (No Ninja) – Scanner

It used to be a lot more, but since I rerolled again…can’t really fly much
