The scammer who scammed himself

Another boring day in Jita trying to make enough to afford the repairs on my ship.I took quite a pounding when I got caught in a gank operation coming into Jita and ended up with massive structure damage, the awful replicated coffee here was barely drinkable, and after 10days of seeing nothing but random contracts which are blatantly scams I was bored.

Bored to a point where I opened a trade guy saying he would sell a Caldari Navy Raven to the first person to open a trade window, grabbing my Neocomm I flashed up a trade window almost immediately.

Surely enough a CNR pops in, then vanishes... and is quickly replaced with a stock Raven, nothing new here I think... and then a evil plan forms.

I enter 450,000 isk, not the 450million he was thinking, with a evil grin on my face I ponder if the scammer will accept, after a few moments he accepts and the deed is done. I check my ship hanger and my new Raven is sat there nicely.

With a cackle, I take out some of my savings and order a three course dinner from the service intercom, and set the dock workers to work on stripping my battered Ravens modules and parts onto my shiny new one.


Till next time.

The Alliance Tournament

Well, PL wins once again, with what has to be the most epic Stealth Bomber fleet that I have witnessed in EVE.

C02 put up a valiant fight, and as said by the commentators, they was a underdog of sorts, but I think after the events of today, are soon to become a name which will be rapidly remembered come the next tournament.

If anyone has one of those assault ships going spare, hit me up ;)

Choices Choices...

With a loud alarm my Neocomm awoke me from my drunken slumber, the memories of the celebration painfully apparent in my head. I contemplated throwing my Neocomm into the trash chute, then I noticed a message entitled.

"Navy Dominix + Navy Armageddon coming!!"

At which point I bolted out of bed, and ordered a coffee from the vending machine, and with much interested I read the upcoming changes to the ships, and their respective slot arrangements. Also while also excitingly noting the new bonuses.

As I took some painkillers I surveyed my ship collection one Bhaalgorn, a relic of a drunken nights "good idea". It sat in Jita unused and unloved. I pondered selling it, would surely ease up the funds for the new Navy ships I had to own... when my door alarm sounded...

It was a friend of mine, we barely speak I call him Hyp... because I often think he lives on a diet of caffeine, boosters and energy shots.

Still I indulge him and invite him in, the coffee I just got from the vending machine, consumed in a single go as he blurts out about pirate ships being boosted..

Eventually I calm him down, and come to learn how pirate ships are being boosted also!..

I read up again on even more changes, and look at my Bhaalgorn, I had the contract window about ready to place it on contracts, I cancel that, and see Hyp to the door.

As I sit back, and order another coffee from the machine, I sit and think...

"Dominion, they should call it Hell Unleashed"

The Lemmings Swarm

For those of you unaware, an event unfolded last night which was like no other, a fleet of rookies with no skill-points, in rookie ships, went into low security space and onward to zero security space.

It was an event on part with EVE Radio, and one I plan to take part in very soon.

A quick video to let you see the hilarity.


I should be blogging more soon, at the minute my partner has a broken hand and is not doing too well.

Till next time.

The Butterfly Effect In EVE.

Today was just a normal day for me in the world of EVE. As my pulse lasers tore apart another Serpentis baron, I felt no remorse for the pirates who I was sending to their graves. I listened to my radio, and relaxed in my capsule, noticing my neocomm was blinking I took a look at what was going on in local.

I see a request for help in a mission, another pilots tank was breaking and he was scrambled, I often ignore these, but a quick check showed this to be a two month old NPC corp player. After a quick thought, I gave the Serpentis Baron a lucky break and engaged my warp drive to the stricken pilots location.

Upon arriving he is indeed in serious trouble, his armor was very low, and he was pointed by multiple frigates, and his long range railguns was helpless vs the close orbiting pirate ships, I checked the mission which was buzz-kill so I knew immediately I was not ideally tanked for this, either way I released my drones and engaged the frigates surrounding his ailing Megathron, and opened my pulse beams onto the few battleships remaining.

Around five minutes later, the mission was over, he was alive, and perhaps a little wiser, and most thankful and after which we departed.

This had me thinking, their is indeed piracy in EVE, corruption,greed, and distrust.

But their is kindness, and at times it can help make this game that little bit more special.

Till next time.

The Alliance Tournament

Well not long now till the next tournament, the previous was my first ever since my arrival in EVE. I enjoyed seeing other capsuleers fight it out in some great setups, using awesome strategies, and obeying their FC with razor sharp precision.

I can only hope this years will bring along more laughs similar to the single interceptor offered 250mil to self destruct!, and the triple A spider tank, those moments will stick with me for a while.

Best of luck to all those involved, and I hope we see some excellent action!

Dust 514

I was going to right a long and informative blog about Dust514, CCP's new console based MMO/RTS/FPS. But after reading other blogs such as :

. The Wandering Druid of Tranquility

. Crazy Kinux's Musing

I feel I can only add that I eagerly await more details on the exact impact this will have on people in 0-0 space. Also while the screenshots and videos look impressive I await a playable demoed product with more anticipation then promotional shots.

What I would like to add though would be an interview with the CCP CEO, about Dust.
