Hands Off, My Loots!

Some people will love it, some people will be saddened by it…but I have decided to go Pirate. As much as I’ve enjoyed being a Ninja, the yearning for blood has just become too strong…so I’ve taken the leap.

At the moment I’m running around waiting to hear a yes or no from my application to The Tuskers…hopefully that will go over well, as they are an awesome group of people I’d love to be a part of. Though, I will miss Suddenly Ninjas as they are an awesome group of people too .

I’ve got a decent bit of kills in High Security space, but to be a Pirate I need to do it out in lowsec…without tricking people into shooting me. The first 2 days I started I couldn’t find any kills, but then the 3rd day (yesterday) I got a bit luckier. I got 3 destroyer kills in my Rifter, and the pods of 2 of them. The first pod got away because I forgot I moved my scram to the F1 slot and turned it off rather than my guns and he warped out.

One of the individuals I popped and podded had a nice conversation with me this afternoon…you can read it below.

I doubt a 2 day old character can mine enough to pay me what i’d be satisfied with to not shoot them.

I don’t do percentages, I require a set amount of ISK per day.

thats what i do percents. never mind ill just park a fleet next time see how you do then. blows up a scout lol good luck

After this, I had to go have Thanksgiving Dinner at two different families places…came back a few hours later to find out that I now have a bounty of 15,000 ISK. Yes, don’t be shocked…you read that correctly. It is 15…with THREE (holy shit…THREE!!!) Zeros. This dude wasn’t messing when he said he was rich!

So, I’m pretty scared now…not entirely sure what I should do. I was considering possibly giving all my assets away and quitting EVE just to be on the safe side. But after speaking with a few people, including a Preacher, two cheap hookers, and a mailman, I’ve decided to take my chances and hope the Noob Fleet of Doom doesn’t show up and rape me mercilessly.

Two days ago, a corp mate told us a story of how a noob in a velator got 3 or 4 people in a certain system to suicide themselves on him.  We liked this so much that we spoke to the noob…and found out he was not really a noob…just on an alt to mess with people…we liked it, we liked his style…and…we decided we’d work together to get more tears out of at least of of these individuals…so read on

Before I start posting all the Chat logs, I’ll go ahead and give the tl;dr version first because it doesn’t really spoil much for those that want to read the entire thing…just gives a bit more anticipation!  There is a guy named TheWarHound, he decided to Concordokken himself of this alt noob the day before in his Myrmidon…then said “I needed a new ship anyway”.  Because of that statement…we made it our aim to “help” him as much as possible.  Through some excellent social engineering…we managed (we…as in me, 2 corp mates, and the noob alt guy) to get this douchebag to steal from my loot can, and then killed him.

The entire process involved his loot from the day before (when concord killed him), my badger, the corpies, and the alt noob, who I might add…has excellent diplomacy skills.  I took the loot in my badger, 15km outside docking range of a station, then had my corpy kill me after I jettisoned the loot (thought we’d try and see if we could put the loot in the wreck…we couldn’t…so we blew the wreck).  Then one corpy in a Recon cloaked next to the can, while the other 2 of us went to a safe near the station and aligned to him…while the noob alt guy started a convo.

The convo went something like…”hey, this asshole Cyberin just blew up my hauler with your loot in it because I stole from his mining can out in a belt…you can come get it if you want”.  About 10 minutes of diplomacy later the guy actually decided to come get it…and we toasted him…then much Tears fell from the Local Sky.  Chat Logs below (edited to remove all the local chatter that had nothing to do with this event…including the statements by MR. TheWarHound saying that he is an Indian and the White Man pissed him off 200 years ago by invading his homeland…blah blah blah).

As always…with my comments to make sense of things

A lot of people recently let me know that they enjoyed reading about two idiots I had the pleasure of encountering.   Some people thought they were funny, some people thought they were stupid (I thought both…or maybe just naive).  Either way, one of them (Antiquity1) thought I was the stupid one…and I was met with this evemail upon logging into the game one day.

Hey, just wondering if you wanted a PvP match in Assiettes? Message back with a time please.

Needless to say, this sounded like an excellent plan to me, so after a few more evemails…we decided to meet!

2009.10.26 12:37 – To Antiquity1
What type of match? Ship Type?

2009.10.26 17:43 – From Antiquity1
Remember a few days ago you were in your Wolf? How about that

2009.10.27 03:18 – To Antiquity1
Depends on what you plan on being in…

Not really sure yet, howabout I turn up in whatever ship I’m using when you get in system and I’ll see if you think thats alright?

First off, I’d like to throw a shout-off off in the direction of a certain Caels Caldanhai.  He sent me a convo request yesterday while I was busy camping our single War Targets station and I had a nice conversation with him.  Turns out he’s a fan of the blog, in the US Armed Forces like I am, and although he’s a carebear…I’ve given him certain thoughts of ‘bad tendencies’.  Hopefully he’ll try it out and see how fun it is one of these days.  So, thanks for reading Caels, and thanks for the convo!

As I mentioned earlier (not sure if it was on another post, in twitter, or the EVE-Bloggers channel…but I know I did mention it, the Tear Extraction and Reclamation Service alliance got another wardec recently (it went active yesterday).  It is from a corp with a single 4 month old member who apparently likes to fly Interceptors.  After the war went active, one of my fellow Ninjas (Borris USAF) decided to go find the guy.  It was quick with his locator agent and so he commenced a conversation with the War Target (Rusty01).
