I'm sure others will have better but I loved these 2, I found em both too!

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=8792039

This lolfit fail was doing an ship scanner site, i went into do some probing, saw nuets, crapped myself when a carrier was on scan... put out probes, scanned the nub down, in a covo prober warp to him at range to get a warp in for my fleet.

His lol ass died so fast... dude *never* stopped ratting or tried to jump out. I had to be in system a good 10min (while people were getting ships ready) the rush (lol) was not he is gona jump cause I was in system, but he was going to run out of rats.

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=darkneko omg, 500m killed 78 BILL lost :-|

Now if that lolfit carrier is not good enough, I got better.

Few hours later (can't make this up lol)

I run into this idiot.

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=8795008

I jump gate and the guys *on* the gate, in a lowsec system. Get on comms yell I got a freighter on gate, can't tackle (again still in meh covo prober) I try to bump the guy fully thinking, once he turns around to station he aint comming out.

Well covo prober vs freighter, guy warps to stat... I sit I swear less than a min, guy undocks... I'm thinking... He is fing with me...

Guy warps to the gate. The pirate, who was bumping him, still in local (me!), and he jumps... of course to ships waiting on the other side.

Story is better on this one than the KM, but the first, omg lol fit carrier is lol fit!

I would like to nominate zzzczyzoznzoz for two reasons.

One: his apparent inability to post legibly.

Two: When asked to name his character, all he could come up with was zzzczyzoznzoz.

Lots of fun though.

I'm pretty sure the dude undocking with 74 PLEXes in Jita qualifies.

Large armor repairer II, because 50 million ISK is just too much to pay to get a capital armor repairer skill to save your billion isk carrier! Shoulda gone X-type if you ask me...

Rules for a Darwin Award

1 Must be able to contribute to the Gene Pool.

We will ignore this one for the purpose of this mmo.

2 Hasnt contributed to the Gene Pool yet.

Become moot when 1 goes.

3 Must have eleminiated oneself from being able to contribute to the gene pool

Thats going to be hard to do.

Maybe we should limited it to stuff that was BOUGHT not spawned.

I lol fit a carrier on the test server and warped it into combat... then again... 100isk for everything, and I made money when it blew up.

You guys lost nothing but crap you spawned for free, hell it cost LESS than the test server.

Have a real event when you risk YOUR isk. Nothing fun about shooting someone who in the end lost nothing, I can go on the test server and do that all day... pretty much all you did, you turned TQ into the test server for you guys (no risk, no lose) and left it the live server for everyone else, except the people you guys were too incompetent to not pod (and then really… um… no podding? Come on… Well I guess you cheated anyway by spawning yourself ships, mostly faction, with faction ammo… podding people in your free spawned ships that give you a clear advantage is kinda lame).

Really... people who work on eve... have no idea how to use it.... no wonder it is the fuckin mess it is.

And that word still aint filtered...

Guess that's one good thing about you guys... No need to go around the filters... you never fix em.


TL;DR, who cares, you did not lose anything except a spawned lol fit. The people in my mails lost something, hard earned isk, plex isk, or RMT isk... either way, they lost more than a few lines of code to spawn said ships.

@ supersexysucker

Considering its their game.

Your comment doesnt really apply.

One more thing, the simple fact that you count only "real" loss shows quite some interesting things about you.
Here i thought that the game is about fun having in game, not about how much of an loss you created to other one.

Anyway i vote for darwin awards for myself.

Viz the incredibly awesome fitted stabber killed at half 0.2 when i was six days old.

If you count referral as some kind of twisted version of EVE reproduction, a Darwin award would be awarded to someone who ragequits before he introduced anyone to the game.
