Dabbling

Been trying different aspects of the game...

-Exploration...flying around looking for Radar/Mag/combat sites. I found one site that gave me 48 million in stuffz. However...they are hard to find, as I have found out.

-Got a Research Agent going...making free stuffz.

-Trade...really starting to like this. I acquire tons of stuff through...well...theft. Now I can sell it smarter. I have also dropped some cash on buy orders (low)...then weekly fly around an pick it up and sell (high) in a mission hub. I put together a spreadsheet...I'm getting 50%+ profit. Some items are ridonkulously profitable. I call it Trade Ganking. Really...how lazy can you be to sell me something for .01 isk? Pretty easy money with little to no effort while watching T.V....filling my Mammoth.

-POS Scouting. Started flying around looking for offline, non-allied POSs for potential-bashing. First night...much success.

-My Security Status stealing is going well... have a comfortable status now...time to Suicide Gank for Profit!!!! But sitting on a gate; clicking passive targeter...cargo scan...rinse/repeat...suxxor boring. (Looking for that stoopie Plex hauler!!!)

Double Tap

What's better than killing a carebear?

Killing two carebears at the same time!

Double Tap. Pow...Pow! Pow...Pow!

I've gotten a few double kills lately...one right after the other. These are very exhilrating...quite the heart-pounding fun.

The first was a Tengu/Tempest combo:

Tengu
Tempest

and the most recent was a Abaddon/Domi kill:

Abaddon
Domi

In both cases, the second kill came from a feeble attempt to save the first carebear via RR. This, as you can see, turns out badly for the RR Hero.

There is a misconception among carebears that they are safe amongst friends and that they can win a fight against a PVP ship. Not often does that occur.

Next up...try to kill 3 carebears at a time!

Memory...it's kinda important

Pop Quiz Time!!!! Ready?

Question #1: What happens to a carebear that "forgets" that he shot a "ninja" two hours prior?

Answer: Badness. Like in..."you die, byatch"...badnesss.

So...this nimrod...AKA Carebear, shoots Van Drakk...then leaves the mission.

And the system.

And the region.

Time and distance = safety, right? (2 Hours + a bunch of jumps away = Hi Sec Bliss)

Van Drakk...however, relishes the "hunting" aspect of the kill. It's called "Over-zealous, Relentless Pursuit of the Gank." The Drakkster extends on the target for two hours+.

Um...like that's crazy sick. Demented. I mean...move on...look for easier prey. Extends for 2+ hours...gah, really?!? What warped "sicko" does that!?!

(Oh yeah...we do!!!!!)

While the Drak is busy using Secret Ninja Tricks...Urkal flys around looking for this guy.

And flys.

And flys.

And Flys. System after system.

Urkal finally locates him...many jumps away. Succcess!!!

However, Urkal can't zero in on this guy using his Cov Ops scanner (sooo many carebears). And time is running out. So he tries for a more direct...sneaky...approach. "Use the Carebear against himself."

Like hunting Elk...Urkal uses a "mating call" to bring the Carebear (they are dumb as a stump, don't ya know) into shooting range. No Carebear can resist this primal, in-grained urge to...MISSION...it's in their DNA!

Urkal > Hello Azzerone, i was wondering if you could help me with something m8

Urkal > I'm in sort of a pinch on this mission in avesber and i came looking for some help

Urkal > if you could help me finish this mission i'll give you some isk, i really need the loyalty points

Azzerone > what level&

Urkal > lvl 4

Urkal > id

Urkal > give you about 10 milllion

Urkal > its the gist extravaganza

Urkal > we can do the bonus room if you like

Azzerone > no need - lets go, ill c what i can do, but im doin 3lv now\

Urkal > alright sounds good

Azzerone > fleet me

Bah ha ha ....so Van Drakk makes haste to get to the target's system. All the while, Urkal stalls...

Well, as you can imagine...this doesn't end well for our intrepid, good samaritan Carebear. He gets fleet warped to Planet 1 where a salivating Van Drakk waits in a Gank ship.

"Come to Papa!"

Urkal > you ready for fleet warp?

Azzerone > sure

Azzerone > where r u

Urkal > im in my scanner ill put you there

Urkal > then ill get my battleship

Urkal > whered you go?

Urkal > :) thanks

Azzerone > ok

Ransom time....

[09:03:54] Van Drakk > 50 mil and ill let you go
[09:03:59] Azzerone > ok
[09:04:08] Van Drakk > pay and ill stop
[09:04:13] Azzerone > stop shootin im not even targetin
[09:04:19] Van Drakk > k i stopped
[09:04:37] Azzerone > how would i know
[09:04:45] Van Drakk > im a man of my word
[09:04:56] Azzerone > we ll see
[09:05:06] Van Drakk > hurry man
[09:05:09] Van Drakk > or ill shoot again
[09:05:12] Van Drakk > you have 10 seconds
[09:05:30] Van Drakk > fly safe

Oh noes...Betrayal!

Death ensues.

[09:05:39] Van Drakk > and my advice would be
[09:05:41] Van Drakk > to never
[09:05:42] Van Drakk > ever
[09:05:46] Van Drakk > shoot a fuckin ninja
[09:06:05] Azzerone > i hadnt
[09:06:12] Azzerone > u r a hore
[09:06:50] Van Drakk > tears nom nom
[09:07:28] Azzerone > i dont care really)
[09:07:34] Van Drakk > that's nice

Urkal...polite as ever.

Urkal > thanks for your help
Azzerone > sure dick
Urkal > well fly safer

Another notch in the Carebear hunting rifle...

[08:12:54] Van Drakk > 10 mil final offer

Poof...he dies.

Thus ends the lesson.

This game just got more "Brutal..."

So I just realized the impacts of the latest content delivery...Tyrannis.

I just bought an Arazu so i could play around in Wormhole space...flew around, buying cool stuff to fit it out. Before leaving base, I hit the Insurance Button.

Whoa.

I mean...Whoa.

If this ship dies...I get squat back.

It didn't quite register in my pea-brain when reading the Patch notes that insurance was getting re-calculated - and the impact.

So, instead of wallowing in disbelief, I chose to rejoice in the fact that when I kill someone's ship in game - it's gonna S U C K more for carebears!!!!! [Like the guy I killed in the prior post]

I like this.

I like this alot.

Oh Noes...Weapons Malfunction...sorry..all is well

Internet spaceships are serious business. We're talking very complicated pieces of hardware that allow us to zip around the universe doing what we do... Sometimes, however, accidents happen in space. May it be from bad luck, lack of Preventive Maintenance on key sub-systems or pilot...er...em... error.

Sarkor Nafaar > Good Morning
Clinkar > so WTF ?
Sarkor Nafaar > Seems I had a weapons malfunction
Sarkor Nafaar > These crappy Minmatar ships are held together with duct tape and chewing gum
Clinkar > well can u kindly refund the ransom ?

He's mad I took his moneyz and blowed him up

Sarkor Nafaar > I will query the nearest station for repairs at once...i assure you
Clinkar > i dont understand ?
Sarkor Nafaar > Well, you see, the astrometric systems on these ships is, sad to say, not up to ASDE standards....
Sarkor Nafaar > Gravity fields and ion pulses severly mess with the targeting systems
Clinkar > aha so whats ur point ?
Sarkor Nafaar > I really need to buy some shielding so that weapons amlfunctions don't happen again...
Clinkar > ok but that doesnt answer my question will u refund my ransom

Wut? You want your 30 million back?!? Really?

Sarkor Nafaar > I'm in station now...talking to the repair supervisor...oddly enough, he's quoting 30 million! Imagine that...crazy how prices have skyrocketed since the galactic councel has opened up planets for extraction
Sarkor Nafaar > I guess it will be safer for all pilots if I repair my targeting systems...we wouldn't want any more "accidents", now would we?
Clinkar > why be an ass man u wanted ransom so i payed the u destroy it anyways and get jack shit for it
Clinkar > well ill see what my alliance says about it anyways
Sarkor Nafaar > That truely is unfortunate, but we, together, as a team, have discovered a serious flaw in my targeting systems...
Sarkor Nafaar > This truely is fortunate....on many levels
Clinkar > yeap that there is a retard in control of it
Clinkar > good day to you to and may we meet in the future

lol...a retard that didn't SHOOT @ a N E E N J A!

Bad, Worse, and Horrible

BAD

When you pay a Ninja 50 million to let your Navy Issue Raven go AND the Ninja keeps shooting you. RANSOM BETRAYAL!

WORSE

When you pay another 50 Million to the same Ninja that betrayed the first 50 Million, hoping this time he'll honor it. WRONG...more Betrayal! I mean, really. Is there no bottom to the ocean of stupidity!?

HORRIBLE

The realization that, after dumping 100 million, you are going to lose your ship. What kind of gut-wrenching anguish must be felt when you know you are a tard (another 50 million after the first Betrayal?) AND you decide to self-immolate your own Billion isk ship! Wow...just...wow.
