Hands Off, My Loots!

Well, I’ve been off quite a bit due to the Holidays…haven’t gotten any time in recently to work on my security status, so it is still sitting at -7.5…good ways to go before I can get back to Dodixie and Ninja it up with the rest of the family.

I’ve got at least 3 decent posts in the works that I’m still working the kinks out of, so look forward to those in the near future…but for this post…I figured I’d do what’s customary for this time of year…Resolutions for the upcoming set of 365 days!

1. Become a sort of diplomat for the Ninjas…and talk with some 0.0 Alliances to possibly work out some blue standings to work on sec status in relative safety for some major hi-sec ganking opportunities.  People have been bitching about being killed enough lately that i figure we need to step up our game…these are epic tears just waiting to be captured!
2. Break 10 Billion ISK in networth…who can’t use more ISK?
3. Get my learning skills done (almost there actually…yay!)
4. Piss some people off, and listen to them whine

All in all, pretty simple set of resolutions for now…I’m easy like that and prefer not to set any goals that might let me down too quickly!

So, Happy New Year!  And may the Tears flow!

This months character review is:

1. Quite late…I know, and I’m sorry…I’ve just been rather busy in game doing stuff and finally got the urge to write this post…hopefully now that I’ve got it out of the way I can update you with more juicy posts in the near future!
2. A different format than my normal Character Updates. I’ve got a lot to talk about concerning my “Character”…and EVE for me in General this month, so I figured I’d just put it in this post as it makes the most sense!

So first, to get the details out of the way. Cyberin has about 7.8 Million Skillpoints now, and a networth of just a few million under 6 Billion ISK according to EVEHQ. I also no longer have my Orca alt, he was sold when I went out to pirate with the Tuskers. This month saw me train a lot of support and gunnery skills, not to mention the new skills that Dominion opened up for me…Thermodynamics and Hacking/Archaeology. I’ve also finally decided to start working more on my Learning skills, so an update on those will most likely be in the December Character Review at the end of the month (yeah, only 2 weeks away, darn late Review posts…)

Having a post dedicated solely to me was quite a surprise…and I feel it deserves it’s own in return. Apparently Max Hatter over at Suddenly, News! misses me so bad that he decided to piss in my wheaties rather than just trying to have my babies…silly Rabbit…Trix are for kids (sorry Max, your name always makes me think of the Mad Hatter…lol).

So Cyberin who is one of the leading figures in the ninja salvaging community have decided to leave Suddenly Ninjas for a low sec pirate corp called Tuskers.

Really?  One of the leading figures?  I didn’t know that…very flattering though.  I guess I was pretty decent at it, though I’d not consider myself anywhere near the top of that ladder…I hadn’t even been doing it that long.  Nice to know I had some worshipers though :p

Oh, and it’s “The Tuskers”

This isn’t the first time Cyberin does one of these foolish moves as he have leaft for other corps in the past. He had a try at faction warfare before. This might have been someone else in Suddenly Ninjas but I don’t really care about the facts. Facts tend to get in the way of a proving my points.

Yup, that was me…and I did try that a bit ago, no where near the same though.  I didn’t want to go -10 back then, and I did it mostly solo.  I’d probably have liked it more if I’d joined a corp…I need people to fly with…hence the application to The Tuskers.

But one fact is true. They all come back. The ninja lifestyle (eve style) is to good to leave for long. Many ninjas have tried a different approach to eve but they have all been disappointed.

I might, I definitely can’t deny that…since I’m so undecided all the time it’s a possibility for sure…but I’m having so much fun right now that it’s not looking likely any time soon.  I enjoyed being a Ninja, and all you guys are awesome…a very tight knit group of like minded individuals who I could always count on…but sadly, I wasn’t getting what I wanted.  As much fun as making people cry is, I was starting to get tired of having to bait people into shooting me, and even then it was only a possibility.  I began to just want blood…I wanted to see people die, and I wanted to them do it at my own hands…Ninjaing just wasn’t gonna cut it sadly…so I had to come out here and go all flashy!

See what I did there? I care greatly about facts when the work in my favor. I give Cyberin about two-three weeks before he comes crawling back. Then we will all welcome him back with open arms and give him affectionate nicknames like Judas or Deserter. Come back to us! Please.

Even if I do…looking at my sec status…and my impatience…I can certainly say it’ll be longer than three weeks .  Though, a nickname does sound fun…lol.

I’ll miss ya guys of course…but as you know, Eve has a way of changing people…and at the moment I’m having a shit ton of fun.  (Not that I wasn’t in the Ninjas, this is just a different kind of fun that I’ve been wanting to try since I started Eve 2 years ago).

Thanks for the shout out post Max, I appreciate it…and keep the Tears flowing free!

I was sitting in Dodixie, Moon 20 Station, spinning my ship…when all of a sudden a thought hit me.  “Go find a noob to kill,” my mind said to myself…I agreed, so it was time to prepare.

Preparation was simple, load up the Orca alt with a Wolf, Hound, Cheetah, Rifter, Shuttle, Reaper, and a Hurricane; then pilot him over to Vittenyn while Cyberin brings along the Scorpion.  Of course, that’s a little out of order, because I actually went there in my Gank Catalyst first, killed a Retriever, and then when he came back in a Myrmidon, I decided to do all of the above in order to have a very high chance of getting to kill him.  So, after killing his Retriever…and Concord killing me…the saga begins…

And as always for the people who like a short version…I ganked a guy in a retriever, then killed his Myrm, then killed another guy later in an Incursus.  Seriously…read the rest of the post…it isn’t THAT long

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
