Earlier this evening I posted on C&P hurredly trying to find someone to help me take down an errant (afk) freighter, piloted by someone I didn't much care for(and filled to the brim with loot, for shame if he lived through the night).

Pizza answered the call. And promptly scammed me. I ought to have known 250 million was too good to be true, but I was in a hurry (not to mention inebriated), and didn't think much about it.

But here's where it gets good. The representative from Pizza decided to take it the extra mile, and still came to highsec and attempted to gank the freighter... in an Ibis.

I had suspected a scam from early on, once my head had cleared from waiting. But when I saw that Ibis suicide into the Fenrir, I couldn't help but laugh. Now that is quality you pay for, ladies and gentlemen.

/applause, Pizza( I don't even remember the name of the guy). Well done. :)

One of ours, ten of theirs.

I agree. It brought tears to my eyes, that they gave their lives for the cause.

The thing is that guy started as a fleet of Machs and some Black Ops... You should give them more isk for their loss.

I'm sorry to whoever had the hostage, but I may have just sawed them in half.

He woulda had a chance if he had been in a Velator......drones, it's all about the drones......

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
