Hands Off, My Loots!

Velocity just decided to open up recruitment for Misfit Toys, which makes me happy as I started bugging him about it a little week ago.  While the small group of us that currently make up the Misfits get along very well (we’ve known each other for a good amount of time in game now), we decided we needed some more people in corp so we can manage to get some decent gangs of our own from time to time and have fun during the day instead of waiting for nightly alliance ops.

I’m not going to copy and paste the recruitment message, but instead I’ll just mention that I am a recruitment officer for the corp and you can contact either myself, Velocity Prime, or Meccros in game; or join the “Misfit Cafe” channel if you are interested.  You can find details about what type of pilots were are looking for in VPs post over at VelociLogic. (also on EVEO Forums)

And…for those of you curious if this is another of my  recruitment scams…I swear you won’t have to pay anything to join…so that kinda limits the scam possibilities a bit (unless of course you are a spy, then there’s a 100mil ISK fee).

———-

I’ve been busy on my market/hauling alt this week so haven’t gotten much done in the way of funny stuff to post…but I did get a little bored and decided to scam someone out of their corporation shares (they were worthless as he was only worth like 100mil…but meh…boredom).  It’s not really funny at all, but here’s how easy it is to scam people these days.

I found this guy on the EVEO forums while searching for good deals…and this is what it turned into.

Warning…this isn’t funny in anyway, and is probably a pretty boring read…don’t say I didn’t warn you.

[ 2011.02.26 19:23:44 ] SupaSekritAlt > heya, i was curious how many shares you had to sell?
[ 2011.02.26 19:23:47 ] Batuka > hello
[ 2011.02.26 19:23:50 ] Batuka > 900
[ 2011.02.26 19:23:58 ] SupaSekritAlt > and how long you’ve been doing this? current profit margins? etc
[ 2011.02.26 19:24:05 ] Batuka > but i think i wil be only selling 800 of them
[ 2011.02.26 19:25:06 ] Batuka > i have started today and so far i have made 60 million isk but only been doing for a few hours and i only had 100 mill to start with and i have 90 mill in corp wallet buy orders 60 mill in sell orders and 60 mill in corp wallet from profit

Not really much to bother with, but I’ve already started so I might as well finish.

[ 2011.02.26 19:25:47 ] SupaSekritAlt > what are your trading skills like?
[ 2011.02.26 19:26:22 ] Batuka > not very good atm but i am going to train them soon as u see i am a skilled mission/pvp toon but am now trying out trading in a stion
[ 2011.02.26 19:26:52 ] Batuka > i have every trade skill able to be owned in my hanger atm ready to train
[ 2011.02.26 19:26:57 ] Batuka > some already trained

hmm…probably should have lied about that one Batuka…telling potential investors that your skills suck isn’t a very good idea.

[ 2011.02.26 19:27:38 ] SupaSekritAlt > do you have anything to provide as collateral to prevent against scam?  I’ve got tons of isk laying around and have been looking for people to invest in, i’d be willing to do a full 800-900mil, but it’s a pretty big risk with someone new like yourself

Funny enough, this isn’t a lie.  Also, it’s always good to make it seem like you are the one that could be scammed…just makes the whole thing play into your favor just a little bit more.

[ 2011.02.26 19:29:35 ] Batuka > well i do not have anythink to give as colateral exept my reputation if i diddnt have a good reputation i would not have any good uisnes for cheap ships if trading was to fail u would be given your isk back and i would give you your investments
[ 2011.02.26 19:30:01 ] SupaSekritAlt > that’s the point, you don’t have any reputation lol
[ 2011.02.26 19:30:07 ] Batuka > i will be increasing the last 200 shares to 3 mil per share as that way i can control people owning the hsares

When he says this, I’m thinking he’s trying to scam me now.  It’s a good tactic, once someone tells you they are in for X amount, you try and get them in for more.  I was very suspicious…but since I didn’t plan on paying anything anyway…it was a rather moot point.

[ 2011.02.26 19:30:33 ] SupaSekritAlt > would you be willing to send the shares first to insure i get them and don’t get scammed?
[ 2011.02.26 19:30:41 ] Batuka > exactly with youinvesting in me t will gain my reputation and i can get more investors in long term me getting more isk from the market meaning mor eisk for you

My EVE crashes right here…damn game.

[ 2011.02.26 19:33:34 ] SupaSekritAlt > sorry, eve died
[ 2011.02.26 19:33:35 ] Batuka > Batuka  investors wanted http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1474234&page=1
[ 2011.02.26 19:33:46 ] Batuka > Batuka  yes i would be willing to send half you send full ammount of isk i send other half ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:34:24 ] SupaSekritAlt > that doesn’t really keep me from getting scammed, i’d want all the shares up front, then the isk
[ 2011.02.26 19:35:04 ] Batuka > halwell considering if u bought half the shares then i would be at risk of loosing half my corp

Now I’m back to thinking he’s just an idiot and doesn’t know much about corp shares. (50% of shares /= 50% of corp).  Oh, and it’s losing…not loosing…jeez.

[ 2011.02.26 19:36:16 ] SupaSekritAlt > i could give you my limited API key to see that I actually have the cash and such if you’d like first? I’ve got over 18bil in cash right now, and quite a lot more in assets (i’m a trader myself)
[ 2011.02.26 19:36:49 ] Batuka > how about u deposite half the cash then i deposit all shares ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:37:24 ] Batuka > how many shares are you wanting ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:37:28 ] SupaSekritAlt > that doesn’t prevent me from getting scammed either.  Shares are worthless until you get the cash, isk isn’t
[ 2011.02.26 19:37:34 ] SupaSekritAlt > i’ll buy all of them
[ 2011.02.26 19:40:28 ] Batuka > ok so 700 mill for 700 then last 200 i was gona rise to 3 mill a piece would you be ok with that ? just so i can invest more isk

And again with the price raising…

[ 2011.02.26 19:40:50 ] Batuka > i weill transfer the shares first but what is there to say you arnt just going to run of with the shares ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:41:01 ] SupaSekritAlt > what would i do with worthless shares? lol
[ 2011.02.26 19:41:03 ] SupaSekritAlt > and yes, that’s fine
[ 2011.02.26 19:42:03 ] Batuka > 200x 3 = 600 +700 mill isk = 1.3 bill isk kk with that ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:42:17 ] SupaSekritAlt > yeah, that’s fine as long as you make me that 5% a month
[ 2011.02.26 19:43:07 ] Batuka > 5% per month of profit from that month and 15% if left in for 1 year kk ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:43:41 ] SupaSekritAlt > sounds good
[ 2011.02.26 19:43:44 ] Batuka > atm i will give you 800 shares to keep some for me kk ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:44:06 ] Batuka > infact no i will just transfer 900 send me isk for security though
[ 2011.02.26 19:44:44 ] SupaSekritAlt > i’m the one that needs security here, i’m paying you isk, you are giving me worthless stuff.  It’s send all or nothing.
[ 2011.02.26 19:44:59 ] SupaSekritAlt > (though if you want to keep 100 that is fine)

I’m still thinking he’s a scammer with this…he keeps trying to change his deal and get me to send him something (scammer desparation, if you can’t get it all…get something).  But in the end sends me all his shares (I’m still not convinced he’s not trying to scam…because he sent worthless shares trying to get my ISK…I would do the same thing).

[ 2011.02.26 19:45:22 ] Batuka > ok send me isk
[ 2011.02.26 19:45:52 ] SupaSekritAlt > no, thanks for the shares though

After he sent the shares and I said I wasn’t paying he threatened to out me, then said if I give him the shares back he would keep quite, etc.  Went on for about 15 minutes or so while I sat around trying to figure out how to steal his corp from him with the shares.  Turns out after asking in a few channels that I didn’t know how this mechanic worked either…I didn’t know I actually had to be in the corp to start a vote.  So being the nice guy I am (and not wanting this alt burned if I didn’t have to) I gave him the shares back.

Hopefully he doesn’t read my blog

Before I get into it, I’ve been on a pretty dry streak blogging wise lately. But…events that occurred last night seem to have finally gotten my motivation back up…and the ideas are turning for what I want to do with the blog since I am no longer a Ninja (more about that in the next post).

I was going to make my return post talk about what’s going on with me, what I’m doing in EVE now, etc…but…this post trumps that…by about 15 Billion ISK.

———-

Me, and about 25 or so other members of Clockwork Pineapple were running around in a shield fleet through Syndicate, looking for some shit to kill. Since dual boxing a shield harbinger (they rock) and a scimitar wasn’t enough fun, I decided I’d hit up the recruitment channel to try my hand at these recruitment scams I’ve heard so much about.

I had to throw back a few of the fish that either didn’t bite, or were rather puny…but eventually…after only about an hour of searching, I seemed to have found a nice mark…what you find below, is the story of a very Generous Idiot.

Note: After all this was said and done, I tried to convo him again, and he rejected my convo…as well as Velocity Prime’s trying to extract some Tears (I accidentally closed the wrong client and lost his convo). About 15 minutes later, he sent me a simple evemail saying “Perhaps you can take the 15 Bil as a payment to not let others know how stupid I just was?”. Since he didn’t provide Tears, and seemed very civil about the entire affair without threatening to decapitate me and feed my severed head to the Four Horses of the Apocalypse, I decided it was a fair request and have hence edited his name out of the below chat logs.

[ 2011.02.08 03:08:54 ] GenerousIdiot > hi
[ 2011.02.08 03:08:57 ] Cyberin > greetings
[ 2011.02.08 03:09:12 ] GenerousIdiot > how arey ou
[ 2011.02.08 03:09:16 ] Cyberin > doing good
[ 2011.02.08 03:09:25 ] Cyberin > you mentioned logi and industry, which do you prefer?
[ 2011.02.08 03:09:38 ] GenerousIdiot > Mining right now
[ 2011.02.08 03:09:42 ] GenerousIdiot > I can fly a hulk and a rorq
[ 2011.02.08 03:09:56 ] GenerousIdiot > Looking to get some roids better than highsec has to offer

His post in the recruitment channel mentioned a 36mil SP character, can fly Rorqual, looking for null sec…sounded fine with me!  The only issue is the simple fact that Misfit Toys is no where near an industry corp, but I’ll take my chances and hope he’s and idiot…as you’ll read on…you’ll find out it was definitely good I did.

[ 2011.02.08 03:10:14 ] Cyberin > ah, we’ve def got that
[ 2011.02.08 03:10:29 ] GenerousIdiot > cool
[ 2011.02.08 03:10:45 ] Cyberin > we’ve got most of the low end null sec ores in our region (syndicate)
[ 2011.02.08 03:10:49 ] Cyberin > and a lot of blues for protection
[ 2011.02.08 03:10:53 ] GenerousIdiot > I see
[ 2011.02.08 03:11:00 ] GenerousIdiot > and what does your corp do overall
[ 2011.02.08 03:11:08 ] Cyberin > most of the other people around are pretty warry of us, so our systems are normally pretty clear
[ 2011.02.08 03:11:18 ] GenerousIdiot > nice

Might as well get in some information to want to come on down.  I figured since he’s an indy pilot safety would be a main concern for him, so I just through some blurbs about that out.

[ 2011.02.08 03:11:27 ] Cyberin > we are mainly producers/traders…we try and keep the syndicate market stocked
[ 2011.02.08 03:11:36 ] Cyberin > more miners and a rorqual would be nice
[ 2011.02.08 03:12:04 ] GenerousIdiot > well I don’t have a rorqual yet but I have some stuff to sell that I could get one
[ 2011.02.08 03:12:19 ] Cyberin > well, we might be able to get you one once you are in corp for a while
[ 2011.02.08 03:12:36 ] GenerousIdiot > oh cool
[ 2011.02.08 03:12:43 ] Cyberin > after a few months

After I find out he doesn’t actually own a Rorqual, I figure the lure of possibly getting one for free could help set the hook even deeper…so that is what I do.

And in other thought…if you are looking for a corp to join…you should probably at least do a show info on the corp.  Here’s a screenshot of the Toys corp description…look at all that industry information!

[ 2011.02.08 03:12:51 ] GenerousIdiot > well what kind of requirements do you have
[ 2011.02.08 03:13:17 ] Cyberin > we actually don’t have many requirements. Ability to fly a mining barge, and possibly manufacture
[ 2011.02.08 03:13:29 ] Cyberin > willingness to form up defense fleets if we have enemies come rolling through
[ 2011.02.08 03:13:45 ] GenerousIdiot > cool

1. Idiots only
2. Rich people
3. No common sense
4. Inability to read details or check for obvious flaws in corp recruitment statements
5. Idiots only
6. Rich people
7. IDIOTS ONLY

[ 2011.02.08 03:13:58 ] Cyberin > we do require a limited api check though
[ 2011.02.08 03:14:00 ] GenerousIdiot > do you do your own production, or import or
[ 2011.02.08 03:14:08 ] GenerousIdiot > how do you check API?
[ 2011.02.08 03:14:16 ] Cyberin > we normally import in minerals we don’t mine ourselves (which is why more miners would be nice)
[ 2011.02.08 03:14:27 ] GenerousIdiot > ya\
[ 2011.02.08 03:14:32 ] Cyberin > and do production locally…we have most t1 BS and below researched BPOs, and a few cap ship bpos

[ 2011.02.08 03:15:06 ] GenerousIdiot > nice

In case you don’t know.  The key purpose of a recruitment scam, is to get the mark to pay you a “security deposit”.  In order to do this, you can either randomly throw out a number, or you can glean information from them in order to find out how much ISK they might be able/willing to pay.  In my case, I decided to go the information route and simply asked for a limited API key.  I could have also asked for a full key, but I didn’t want to spook him (as if he’d be smart enough to get spooked anyway).

[ 2011.02.08 03:15:14 ] Cyberin > one second, i’ll give you a link you can put your api into, it won’t show me you api info at all, just the information it provides, so pretty secure
[ 2011.02.08 03:15:36 ] Cyberin > we also have multiple JF pilots to move stuff for people
[ 2011.02.08 03:16:25 ] Cyberin > http://zzj.itf-inc.com/eveapi/audit.php you can put your info in there, and then I’ll be able to view the info

[ 2011.02.08 03:19:23 ] GenerousIdiot > there ya go
[ 2011.02.08 03:19:46 ] Cyberin > ok, one sec while i check on it
[ 2011.02.08 03:20:43 ] GenerousIdiot > brb

A quick review of the API showed he has just over 800 Million in liquid ISK, so I’m happy now and thinking of a possible 150mil ISK payout from this scam if it works.  Boy, was I wrong!

[ 2011.02.08 03:22:24 ] Cyberin > wow, very nice industry skills
[ 2011.02.08 03:22:38 ] Cyberin > i’d offer to jump your stuff down for you but you can already fly a JF
[ 2011.02.08 03:24:17 ] GenerousIdiot > back
[ 2011.02.08 03:24:36 ] Cyberin > k, did you get my last message?

Another part of these scams is of course trying to get the mark to give you their stuff (I can haz stufs?).  This guy can fly a lot of big stuff, and since I already know he doesn’t have a Rorqual I figured I’d see if he might have a Jump Freighter since I see he can fly one.  He never answers me…but I end up finding out a bit later that he does.

I assume though, that since he can fly one he’ll have one and will want to move his own stuff…bummer .

[ 2011.02.08 03:24:37 ] GenerousIdiot > well, i’ll be out of town snowboarding for the next few days
[ 2011.02.08 03:24:46 ] GenerousIdiot > So it would be a while before I could bring my stuff down
[ 2011.02.08 03:24:51 ] Cyberin > oh, where you going?
[ 2011.02.08 03:25:07 ] GenerousIdiot > Big Bear Mountain in So-Cal
[ 2011.02.08 03:25:14 ] GenerousIdiot > hopefully won’t kill myself
[ 2011.02.08 03:25:37 ] Cyberin > ah, never been snowboarding
[ 2011.02.08 03:25:56 ] Cyberin > but anyway, we’ve got a few JF pilots and could move your stuff for you if you decide to join while you are gone, that way it will be waiting for you

Um…ok…always bet on stupid right?  I will most DEFINITELY help you move your shit while you are on vacation!  Though, at this point…I’m still not expecting to get his stuff since he can fly a Jump Freighter himself…I start thinking about maybe offering him a Cyno out to our home and killing him when he gets there…hoping some good stuff drops.

[ 2011.02.08 03:26:36 ] GenerousIdiot > well, its a pretty substantial amount of stuff
[ 2011.02.08 03:26:41 ] GenerousIdiot > Would I need to cover fuel or anything
[ 2011.02.08 03:27:23 ] Cyberin > nah, we cover fuel, but we do have a security fee we charge, that is reimbursed after 30 days
[ 2011.02.08 03:27:31 ] Cyberin > to make sure you don’t steal out of the corp coffers, etc
[ 2011.02.08 03:28:02 ] Cyberin > it’s based on SPs and experience, for someone of your skill points, it’s normally 1bil…but i notice on your API you only have 800mil or so
[ 2011.02.08 03:28:20 ] Cyberin > we might be able to work out a deal on that since you’d be trusting us with moving your assets while you are gone
[ 2011.02.08 03:28:29 ] GenerousIdiot > ah ok

Ok…normal train of thought for a sane individual: “I can haul my own stuff, but I’ll be a while.  What? You can haul for me? I bet you can…tell me more, how do I know you won’t haz my stufs?”

This dudes train of thought: “I’m leaving for a bit and am impatient.  What? You can haul for me?  Sweet….do I have to pay you to steal my shit?”

Really…dude is not all there up stairs.  As in…he must have tripped at the top, fallen down 40 flights of stairs and shattered every light in the noggin.

You will also notice this is where I try to lure him in on the security deposit.  I figure since he’s got 800mil, I’ll say the normal fee is 1 Bil, and then offer him 150mil a little later to make it seem like an awesome deal.

[ 2011.02.08 03:28:42 ] GenerousIdiot > is there a limit of how much I can use
[ 2011.02.08 03:28:50 ] GenerousIdiot > I have a giant pile of stuff for my other characters
[ 2011.02.08 03:29:30 ] Cyberin > nope, no limit at all, all our JF pilots are bored alts
[ 2011.02.08 03:29:43 ] Cyberin > how much is giant? a couple freighter loads?

O RLY?

[ 2011.02.08 03:30:20 ] GenerousIdiot > maybe one
[ 2011.02.08 03:30:24 ] GenerousIdiot > maybe
[ 2011.02.08 03:30:32 ] Cyberin > oh, yeah, that’s not bad at all
[ 2011.02.08 03:30:41 ] Cyberin > doesn’t even cost a few mil to do one jump

Truthfully, when he only said one, I got a little disheartened…he’s so dumb, I figure his “huge” pile of stuff wasn’t that big at all…I admit…that was my mistake, I forgot to bet on stupid.

[ 2011.02.08 03:32:28 ] Cyberin > all of that sound good? we could really use a pilot with your skill point level and those ships
[ 2011.02.08 03:32:37 ] Cyberin > and there’s always the possibilty of flying a corp rorqual
[ 2011.02.08 03:32:39 ] GenerousIdiot > Yeah I can give it a shot
[ 2011.02.08 03:32:53 ] GenerousIdiot > can I apply tonight so i’m ready to go when I get back

At this point, our gang (remember, I’m dual boxing at the moment) is chilling on a gate waiting for some idiots to kill, and I’m getting tired and know I need to go to be in an hour or so, so I figure it’s time to try and close the deal.  I didn’t think it would be quite as simple and fast as it actually turns out to be though.

[ 2011.02.08 03:33:08 ] Cyberin > certainly you can
[ 2011.02.08 03:33:21 ] Cyberin > just right click on my name and apply o the corp
[ 2011.02.08 03:33:37 ] GenerousIdiot > ok

This is where I mention in Teamspeak to my CEO Velocity Prime to not accept the app that just went in (I normally put stupid shit in apps for my alts to join, an didn’t want VP to think this was an alt app of mine or something if he mentioned my name).

[ 2011.02.08 03:33:49 ] GenerousIdiot > who do I need to contract stuff to that i’m moving out?
[ 2011.02.08 03:33:55 ] Cyberin > so are you bringing any indy stuff down, or just stuff for alts?
[ 2011.02.08 03:34:05 ] Cyberin > oh, you can contract it to me if you’d like, i’ll move it to my alts
[ 2011.02.08 03:34:34 ] GenerousIdiot > ok
[ 2011.02.08 03:34:37 ] GenerousIdiot > give me a few minutes
[ 2011.02.08 03:34:42 ] Cyberin > certainly

I was typing that second statement while he was typing the first…I was expecting to have to goad him a bit more, but apparently he’s just that dumb…and I’m the mos trustworthy person in EVE.  At this point, I’m truthfully wondering if he’s just trying to troll me…no one can be this idiotic right?

[ 2011.02.08 03:35:57 ] Cyberin > oh, almost forgot…the security deposit
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:03 ] GenerousIdiot > oh right
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:03 ] GenerousIdiot > hang on
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:10 ] GenerousIdiot > 750m ok?

But just in case…gotta get the most out of it right?  He immediately offers 750 Million before I can tell him the CEO said 150 Mil would be fine.  Sure…that sounds good to me.

[ 2011.02.08 03:36:17 ] GenerousIdiot > To be returned after 30 days?
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:23 ] Cyberin > well, normallly 1bil, but 750 will work
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:27 ] GenerousIdiot > ok
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:29 ] Cyberin > talked with ceo about it and he said that’s fine
[ 2011.02.08 03:36:47 ] GenerousIdiot > Done

Yes…that simple…no questions about safety.  No security concerns.   No asking how he’d be safe from a scam.  No nothing.

[ 2011.02.08 03:37:28 ] GenerousIdiot > what station should I set the contract to
[ 2011.02.08 03:37:56 ] Cyberin > aas station V
[ 2011.02.08 03:38:18 ] Cyberin > is there gonna be collateral?
[ 2011.02.08 03:39:09 ] GenerousIdiot > no
[ 2011.02.08 03:39:14 ] Cyberin > even better

I got a little cocky here, glad he didn’t understand the reason I said “even better”.  And yes, you are reading this correctly…less than 1 minute after he sent me 750 Million ISK he was asking where to contract me his stufs to.  I had to ask about the collateral, because even though it might have scared him off (though…i was seriously doubting it now with the blind sending of that much ISK), I needed to make sure he sent it to me free of charge.

[ 2011.02.08 03:41:44 ] GenerousIdiot > ok stuff to be shipped is up
[ 2011.02.08 03:41:44 ] Cyberin > oh wow, anshar, that’s gonna be hard to move

I swear I didn’t shit my pants…almost maybe…but I totally did NOT shit my pants.  I may however have squealed like a little school girl in Teamspeak about my new found fortune…sorry if I interrupted the op a bit pBump.  The first contract has the Anshar, a Redeemer, and some other stuff in it.  And a second contract, to be couriered to our home station, was 927,000m3 (which by the way, can’t be carrier by anything other than a max level Charon pilot…which he should have known and thought about being a Jump Freighter pilot…he wins again I guess).  In my excitement…I can’t see what’s in the courier package…either because you have to be in the station with it, or I just couldn’t find where to view it in the contracts panel…but this is where I made my first mistake.

I mentioned the Anshar.

[ 2011.02.08 03:41:47 ] GenerousIdiot > and I applied to the corp
[ 2011.02.08 03:41:59 ] GenerousIdiot > oh I did that on accident, gonna use that to move the rest of my stuff when I get back
[ 2011.02.08 03:42:02 ] GenerousIdiot > you can contract that back to me, don’t need to ship it
[ 2011.02.08 03:42:07 ] Cyberin > ah, one sec

As you can tell, he didn’t mean to give me the Anshar (and I’m assuming some other stuff…like the hundreds of millions in moon goo).  At this point, I immediately accept and fail the second contract (not sure why I hadn’t done it yet) to insure he didn’t decide to cancel it.  In retrospect, after looking at the stuff in that package, it seems only the fittings for the battleships and a few frigates were in that package…which makes me wonder if he was going to put up another contract with the cruiser fittings in it (which seems like it would have been quite a bit).  But I decided to cut my winnings and play it safe once he mentioned wanting the Anshar back.

[ 2011.02.08 03:49:21 ] GenerousIdiot > ?
[ 2011.02.08 03:50:38 ] Cyberin > oh, yeah…abot that
[ 2011.02.08 03:50:46 ] Cyberin > ceo said app rejected, and thanks for the fish

It took me exactly 41 minutes and 52 seconds to scam this guy out of 14.9 Billion ISK.  I’d say that’s a damn fine stroke of beginners luck. (I’ve scammed in other ways before, never recruitment scamming though).

P.S.

To GenerousIdiot,

I’m glad you’ve never read my blog and didn’t know who I was…VERY glad.  I hope you enjoy your trips to the snow covered mountains, please watch out for trees, I hear they sting if you hit them.  I will be here keeping your assets safe.

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

Wow…just wow. What you are about to read is probably the best I’ve ever done with a single target. While there are a bit of tears, it is mostly filled with stupid losses, more ISK than brains, and in the end…the transformation of a stubborn miner (or…0.0 alt…whichever way you want to believe) into a pacified customer looking for a few new ships.

You met him in my last post, but here and now, you are going to hear the wonderful story of Kiernance…mighty pvp miner!

After I killed piro95’s vexor like you learned earlier, I saw this in local…which of course got the ball rolling on this whole event.

[ 2010.03.13 05:04:33 ] Kiernance > i gonna go flip you can cyberin

Really? Sweet. At this point, I’m thinking he want’s to gank me because I stole his ore earlier. In a little while, I actually find out that he’s just bored and wants to throw away some ISK.

Mr. PvP Miner is going to agro me, a rather notorious Ninja…in a 550 Million ISK ship (750mil with the fit actually). Anyone that knows anything knows that it’s not smart to shoot ninjas. Specially since as you see later, he says he’s a null sec guy and this is just an alt…he should know better…but he doesn’t.

This next part is out of order now because of that fleet chat, but pretend you didn’t read that, and this happens before we blow him up, but after we get him, and hold him, in structure. I’d also like to point out, that after you see the fit…you might wonder why he kept all his high slots trained on me…the noob in the rifter, rather than the two other people. He could have capped them out and escaped…but didn’t. Reason…he’s…not…an…alt.

[ 2010.03.13 05:26:03 ] Cyberin > how’s 400 mil sound?

Just to point out…this guy was flashy red to me and my corp, sitting in a belt, not aligned, not moving, with no drones out, didn’t have me locked…for 6 minutes. 6 minutes to warp out because I didn’t have him pointed. 6 minutes to warp out because he realized I was stalling because he’s an experienced null sec guy that should know this. 6 minutes to warp out because he realized he’s being a fucking idiot. 6 minutes to sit there, and lose a 750 Million ISK ship for no reason…sadly, I was too busy during the fight to grab a screenshot.

I waited for both my corp mates to get outside the system, and he still wasn’t aligned. I told them to jump in and align to belt, he still didn’t align. I told them to warp to me, and did not turn on my Warp Scrambler until they LANDED IN THE BELT WITH ME. So much for checking your directional scanner. These are more reasons I think this guy is not an alt…I think they are good reasons.

[ 2010.03.13 05:38:46 ] Cyberin > i’ll try to not buy too many

You pirates will cringe. But, well…I’m not a pirate…and dishonoring ransoms doesn’t hurt me in anyway because the people I prey on are too idiotic to think about it, and because I don’t care that much about the ISK anyway. We discussed it in fleet chat, and decided we would like to have the killmail, and to teach him a little bit of a harder lesson. So we blew the shit out of him…he melted like butter. We even let another corpy that was close by get in system to get on the killmail, though he didn’t get a share of the loot since he didn’t really help…us ninjas are greedy like that! (actually, I offered, but he told us to keep it).

He answer my evemail, and was excited to help me out. So, while the chat logs are rather dry…and there are actually no real tears from Kiernance about the whole issue…it was a fun, and eventful morning/afternoon for me.

I wasn’t content with just taking his Domi, and his 400mil ISK. I wanted his hulk. After about an hour or so of planning, scouting, and moving his ship into position with my help, Herr Wilkus destroyed Kiernance’s hulk with 1 volley, in an Ice Belt in a 0.7sec system, with dozens of mackinaws watching.

After Wilkus popped him, he sent the standard EVEMAIL he sends to all his victims.

Kiernance > hi that was sneaky
Kiernance > lol
Herr Wilkus > Popping hulks is my hobby
Kiernance > so if pay you will stop this?
Herr Wilkus > yes, TEARS will set you light blue and you’ll be left alone.
Herr Wilkus > otherwise, we’ll be checking up on you again.
Kiernance > to you ?
Herr Wilkus > either me, or Velocity Prime, however if you pay Prime I cant confirm the transaction until he logs and contacts me.
Herr Wilkus > me, and I’ll have prime put you on the ‘no touch’ list.
Kiernance > k
Herr Wilkus > ok, got it. Glad to do business with you. I will write the email now, Prime should set you blue next time he comes online.

I almost cried…because now, since he paid (and is actually the first to ever actually pay that protection fee I think) you’ll get no more stories from me about him.

Oh, and for anyone wondering how my rampage through the Caretyn system worked for the locals.  When I left for work that day…there were no cans in the belts, and no less than 7 people in iterons mining directly into their holds. 2 of them were from piro95’s corp.

First off, before I go any further and forget, I wanted to throw a teaser out there for everyone to ponder about, because I’m an evil ass like that. Me and another corp mate were having a talk earlier today, and decided we are going to have a discussion in the corp forums about a new, rather fun project for the ninjas. So…hopefully you’ll hear something about that in the near future. No…you can’t have any hints.

Without further ado…

I’m flying around in my rifter, looking for some miners to kill and some ore to liberate when I jump into Chelien and am greeted in local by some guy taunting another guy…sounds like something I’d do. As their convo continues I’m roaming the belts doing my thing, when I happen upon a can that was left (as bait most likely) by the aforementioned taunter…so, knowing I’ll get a fight most likely…I grab it, and continue my search.

The smack is still going in local, and I take the opportunity to align my Orca alt to the belt I’m going to try and fight him in so I can warp him straight to me. I do this so I can play shenanigans and switch out rifters if I’m about to die, because…since I restarted my character…my pvp skills aren’t the greatest and I need all the help I can get. As I warp out of this belt to try and find him, he warps in just as I enter warp. Crap! Luckily I warped to the next belt at 100 and he followed…because while I was aligning back to where I just came from he showed up in the new belt at 0 and saw me at 100. So, I warped back at 100 hoping he’d get the hint…and he did, as when I landed, he showed up a few seconds later…about 30km from me…having warped to 70.

I took a few seconds while I was closing the distance to switch over to my other client and warp the orca to me at 0. And we began to fight around it.

[ 2010.03.11 16:27:45 ] ihcn > lol
[ 2010.03.11 16:32:33 ] ihcn > i wonder how this orca feels xfd
[ 2010.03.11 16:33:00 ] Cyberin > orca feels fine
[ 2010.03.11 16:33:45 ] Wantless Hero > just dont go swimming with it if you have a pony tail
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:00 ] Cyberin > lol

He went through my shields and armor pretty quickly, but since I had 8 more rifters in the Orca, I hopped in one of those and get a fresh start. Also, a few seconds earlier, a neutral rifter warped in near us as well. I thought this was his friend, and as you’ll read in a bit…he thought it was mine.

[ 2010.03.11 16:34:04 ] ihcn > i have to admit i’ve never seen someone pull that in a frigate fight before
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:19 ] Cyberin > yeah, i’ve never done it in a frig fight before, seems like it might be fun though
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:33 ] Cyberin > my skills suck…so…i need some sort of advantage…
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:39 ] Cyberin > if i can even break your tank…lol
[ 2010.03.11 16:34:45 ] ihcn > nope

I didn’t think I’d break his tanked, but just as it seemed I might be wrong and his armor appeared to be SLOWLY going down…I switched to a new ship..and he got bored and warped before I could point him again.

[ 2010.03.11 16:36:13 ] ihcn > welp, good fight
[ 2010.03.11 16:36:22 ] ihcn > that was a good tactic
[ 2010.03.11 16:36:23 ] ihcn > lol
[ 2010.03.11 16:36:42 ] Cyberin > thanks
[ 2010.03.11 16:36:44 ] Cyberin > was fun
[ 2010.03.11 16:37:35 ] ihcn > indeed
[ 2010.03.11 16:37:52 ] ihcn > i loved the fact that we were circling the orca for half of it xfd
[ 2010.03.11 16:37:56 ] Cyberin >
[ 2010.03.11 16:38:22 ] Cyberin > can’t get too far away from it

A little bit later he opens a convo, trying to figure out what happened. Apparently he didn’t realize I was using the Orca. He thought I was switching ships with the neutral rifter that was there, while the neutral guy repaired the ship so I could jump back in again. That would be neat, but…don’t think that would work quick enough to actually do though.

[ 2010.03.11 16:47:46 ] Cyberin > normally i don’t use the orca for frig fights, but since I just restarted my character I wanted some support for can flipping
[ 2010.03.11 16:47:47 ] ihcn > and the neutral rifter reps your ship, reloads ammo, etc, then you switched back
[ 2010.03.11 16:47:54 ] ihcn > but after the fighti realized there’s no way that would work
[ 2010.03.11 16:48:54 ] ihcn > but anyways yeah, that was fun
[ 2010.03.11 16:48:56 ] ihcn > have a good day

2 days later…I caught myself a Hyperion!…in my rifter…(please note, I’m using chat logs from Alliance, Corp, Private, Fleet, and the Bloggers Channel…so times could get a bit confusing here…but I’ll do my best to make it make sense, best off to just ignore the times on these chat logs for the best effect)

I was out salvaging this time; rather than can-flipping…gotta change it up a bit you know. I got a hit on a Hyperion so thought I’d go get some salvage. The plan was to just salvage, and not loot…but I found a nice expensive microwarp drive in one of the wrecks…so I just had to. Apparently…the Hyp pilot didn’t think I’d be much of a threat (he was right) so he shot at me. Warp drive activated, off to the Orca I went to grab a retriever. I knew I couldn’t kill him…but, well…I’ll work something out later I guess.

[ 2010.03.13 00:59:58 ] Cyberin > lol, i have a hyperion tackled with my rifter…

I got back to the mission, and there he was. Pointed, Webbed, and Guns blazing…I took some time out to move the guns and web over to his drones…and killed those off. After the drones, I focused back on him. Got his shields down…and then…well…yeah, I got his shields down.

Sometime during all that waiting, Lazy Eyeh (corp mate) came out to see if he could get agro by repping me in a domi…didn’t work, so instead I just had him go get me some faction ammo incase Gfy decided to try a logoffski. I could have gotten it myself with the orca, but I didn’t think about it after Lazy offered.

I’ve changed my mind about the other chat logs, they are long, boring, and just lots of comments with me asking if people thought a small neut could take down the cap of a Hyperion. Also tried to plan some ideas in corp chat. The best one, and the one I was going to try, was to throw 3 small neuts on my rifter, and have someone cap transfer me hoping that Gfy was AFK. So, I decided to grab one of my other Rifters out of the Orca to do that with, thinking I could have one to cap him out, and then switch to the combat one with the faction ammo after that was done. Well…all didn’t go as planned.

[ 2010.03.13 02:58:48 ] Cyberin > damn it Gfy, you were supposed to be afk
[ 2010.03.13 02:59:30 ] Gfy Trextron > lol

[ 2010.03.13 02:59:43 ] Gfy Trextron >

Earlier in the day, I noticed my ships in the Orca had all their mods offlined for some reason, not sure why. But, I managed to grab the ONLY rifter that I hadn’t reonlined the stuff…and couldn’t get the point onlined before he warped out…apparently he wasn’t AFK.
