Hands Off, My Loots!

I mentioned in my last post that I had put in an application with the Tuskers, well…after a bit of running around lowsec solo, destroying my sec status, other people…and getting destroyed myself a few times…they decided I would be a good fit for the corp…and so now I am officially a Tusker!

I’ve already been on a few Corp Roams, which have so far been a blast!  I actually got the killing blow on my first kill of my first roam with them…which isn’t that big of a deal really, but I thought it was neat.  I also got to join in on the Ransoming of a Megathron pilot who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  It took a little while, but he eventually paid us 80 Mil to keep his ship, 16 Mil for each of us split 5 ways…so that was pretty decent for my first ever ransom payment.

It’s truthfully been a pretty busy week or so for me and so much has happened that I can’t remember it all exactly how it went down.  You can checkout my personal killboard (link at the top of the site) for the kills/losses I’ve had since I decided to go pirate.  Though one thing I’ve impressed myself with so far (again…not a huge deal, but I like stats and stuff) is I’ve gone from Rank 93,312 in Battleclinic, to Rank 24,456 in 4 days.  I know it’s no where near good…but…it’s a start.

I’ve been sticking with mainly Rifters, and plan on sticking with them for a while since my skills aren’t that good.  I have a few battlecruisers and battleships sitting in station…but I’ll only fly those when I know I have pretty much no chance of dieing…(like killing macros outside station).  My Rifters have the good aspect of being relatively cheap at about 10 Mil ISK fully fit (I am T2 fitting them mostly), as well as being a very popular PvP frigate for good reason.

In other news…I decided to sell my alt.  I’ve been leaning towards only running one account for a while now…simply to provide more of a challenge to EVE…so with this new change to piracy I figured now would be as good a time as any.  Got a pretty good addition to my Wallet by selling him, so I’ll be able to keep myself in my cheap frigates (and a few fun toys if I want) for quite some time.  I figure next month I might worry about starting to work on actually making ISK…but for the time being…I just want to learn my pirating skills better.

Been an excellent change so far…stay tuned for more updates!

Oh, and I forgot to mention…it’s going to be fun flying with so many fellow bloggers!…there are at least 6 of us in the Tuskers…including Wensley, Ka Jolo, Kirith Darkblade (he just got accepted today!), Noir Avlaa, Bourreau…should be fun.  (if I forgot any fellow Tusker Bloggers…please comment so I can add you to my Tusker Blogroll when I put it up)

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
