Alright. I have been lurking on these forums for quite awhile, never really posting anything because i was too lazy/apathetic, depending on the day. I enjoy the bitching and moaning QQ threads. They pretty much make the forums for me. I figure they make the forums for some of you guys too, which is why I'm writing this. Because stories about QQing ingame are just as funny.

I was sitting in a thrasher above the Hek main station fit only for one purpose, and that was to pop pods. I bided my time, watching as they warped in from different gates, always just out of reach. Finally, after waiting for a little while, one warps in that is perfectly positioned, which rarely happens. I lock him, pop his pod, and giggle myself silly.

Normally, this is where the story ends. Sometimes i get a bounty, usually it ends there and i never see/hear from them again. This time was different. I get a random ass private message request, which i usually accept because i'm bored or figure i'll find them amusing. It was the guy i had podded, which i had no idea before the conversation started because i could care less who i podded, i just wanted to watch it go up in sparks. The guy calls me an *******, yadda yadda yadda, and leaves the conversation. Shortly after, however, i get a pop up that says "xxx corporation has declaired war on your comporation". I kind of turn my head to the side, since at the time i was in a two man corp with my friend. It was the corp the guy i podded was in. I looked at the corp info sheet, and saw that they had actually left their alliance to declare war on my piddly ass two man corp. I send a mail to the CEO, telling me he's just enabling me to continue doing what i'm doing, because i know i'm getting to them. He goes off on a ***** fit and i tell him off. The best part about the entire thing, was that it was an industrial corp. Somehow, by luck or the will of space jesus, i had gotten just the right pod, at just the right time, and gotten a industrial corp to pull itself from an alliance just to war dec my crappy two man corp because they were butthurt.

This has to be, hands down, one of the funniest things i've encountered in EVE. It takes QQing to an entirely different level. As much as i love watching people ***** and moan and stomp their feet on the forums, i enjoy it twice as much ingame. I was just curious if any of you had stories as stupid/entertaining as i found this scenario. Because watching people ***** and moan entertains me entirely too much.

I might be wrong on this but, your corp closing and reopening had nothing to do with fear of reprisals from the evil carebears?

Yeah, I knew that would come up, lol. It was actually because my friend left that I did. He wanted to make his own - yeah I don't getit either - and aafter that there was no point. This is the first good one since sal's, so meh. And as for c&p, I hadn't thought about putting it there. Have to put it up there if it doesn't get moved by the forum gods.

I got killed in hek, but then it's not that surprising I got got killed in hek. Someone from their corp was on the KM. So were five others not in their corp.

Allright, that explains it. Sorry to spring that on you but we've been dealing with a big old fashioned liar (Pants on fire type) lately so I take everything I read with an extra grain of salt.

All in all, nice story, might consider spicing it up with some chatlogs and put it in the pirate story thread in c&p.

Oh no. I had that one coming. I should have seen it coming a mile away. Also, do letters count as chat logs? Otherwise the chat logs themselves aren't that overly great. I don't think English was the first language of the dude whose pod I popped.

Without it, it's only half as fun to read these stories.

sniping away those cynos in VFK within an army of goons next to it, is like killing a heavily guarded queen sitting in her castle, wherelse killing pods of industrial companies somewhere else is like killing kids on the street

you don't know the difference, because you just look at a cyno and a pod, and don't understand the metagame around it
