Did you go solo mining in Null-sec in your uninsured Mackinaw? Did you undock and forget to check the guest number and get podded? Did you try and take on 3 Thorax cruisers in a Rifter and epically lose? WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!

A few of my personal losses:

Flying a Moa and attracted 6 other pirates who scramed, webbed, and jammed me, lasted about 6 seconds.

In an anomaly in my dessie and get low on tank, I tell it to warp out, look away from the computer, look back, STUCK ON ROCK AND CAN'T WARP OUT, sit in my blinking egg in shame.

Testing out my shiny new Manticore in a WH, can't find any targets, decide to take on some seemingly weak sleepers, I decloak, launch the bomb, and get instapopped at 30km, crawl back to WH to high-sec.

You don't just open a topic like that without your own stupid loss story to go with it.
Or are all of the above from your own personal experience?

*sigh* "worst loss" thread still on page 1.

Who put the goat in there?

Is this really that different from the What was you worst loss ever thread, also right here on the front page, to justify opening a new one?

How about we have a "What was your most stupid thread ever" thread.

Lot's of choices but OP I think you have a winner right here.

Fleet Warped 72 Bombers into a Smartbomb camp in Heild. The pirates wanted to give me a medal.

Forgot to approach the jump bridge when the enemy fleet was warping in, so I just sat there, 2k too far away and wondered why I wasn't jumping. Oops

Warped my faction fit mission Tengu into a vanguard site solo to check the whole Incursion thing. Kinda stung a bit. Sad

I was flying the very first Stratios ever destroyed. Jumped it into lowsec and forgot there was an incursion going on there. Got killed by the incursion rats on the gate.

Had 3 days insurance left on a torp fitted Phoon used mainly for sieges. Decided to drop it on a roaming PVP Tengu because never not welp ships before they run out of insurance right? Ended up spewing torpedos at a ship way out of range humping an ice roid.Lol

Hm, this was my most stupid loss (it was entirely preventable), but not the worst in terms of ISK.

Presumably English is not your first language - "most stupid" and "worst" do not have the same meaning.
