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.
