In Verge fly's a corp called We Fight,
And some might say they are shite,
But if that may be true,
What does that make you,
We've been poppin' your fail-fits all night.

That man is the noblest creature may be inferred from the fact that no other creature has contested his claim.

There once was a farmer in Lamaa,
Whose despicable fit had stabs twice.
I countered scrams thrice,
His warp said no dice,
So I podded him back to his station!

There once was a pirate from Rancer
Who hired an exotic dancer
But when under the covers
He quickly discovered
What he thought was a girl was a man, sir.

I once undocked in a Vaga,
PvP my aim with my swagger,
A curse jumped in, closely followed by a Sin,
I was podded back to Uedama. Sad

A petition I once did make,
"Our logs show nothing"
The GM's did state.
You disconnected on gate
We dont care if you got raped,
Now pay your sub FFSake Big smile

So like after 76 petitions I still dont have a logical normal answer.   Fly safe and fly true and use your headset on the Loo

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I am sponsoring an EVE Limerick contest.

Basic Contest Rules:
...

3. Prizes: The 2 limericks with the most "likes" will win 100 million ISK. In addition, I will choose my 2 favorites and award them a Phantasm BPC. Finally, winners of my previous poetry contest can vote for their favorite. The winner chosen by this group will win a Cynabal BPC



Tas, can you clarify rule 3?

1/ What exactly is a winner of the previous competition? The 2 topwinners? Or also the Honorable Mentions? The Bonus prizes?
2/ Does this mean these people are excluded from this contest? Or can they still compete but not for the group-prize?


Regards,
Don Aubaris



I'll send out in-game mail. Basically, anyone who won a prize, can vote for their top 5. You can still participate in this competition (and even vote for your own - just identify it in the voting.)

No pew pew action to be found

I say to a guy
'No, but there's a lot of that clone around' he replies...

There once was a scammer named Bobby,
Shareholders he liked to lobby,
He took the long view,
And took Titans from U,
Because stealing was his favourite hobby.

There was a man called spoon,
Who had poor skils for his phoon,
he caught a big score,
but lost a lot more,
because he could only fit meta four.

P

once upon an eve winter night,
there was a big interbus fight,
they all failed to scuttle,
because they only took a shuttle,
so they had to leave with just a rebuttal.

Quiet and cold it is around
Dark and evil are the lost souls
Floating alone in my sealed wet grave
With my Legion I'm trying to escape
They are coming... The Sleepers they are called
They are awakened, and looking for the prey
Why did I enter that w-space... I cannot tell!

There was a young newbie from Jita;
who transported PLEX in a Cheetah.
Proven not to be safe, pirates forced him to strafe;
when this failed he claimed pirate a cheater.

Let me grab mine from last years "Kiss me I'm Irish" roam:

Having so far only flown Ganked with Mang
A buddy and I loved to join Greygals gang
Expected to kill some stuff
Spamming some irish fluff
And finally die in a bang.

There once was a spacegame called EVE
Which was harder than you would believe
Fools came from WoW
'I'm quiting!' they'd vow
Can I have your stuff when you leave?

The fit on my dead nano-erebus
Saw it sturdy and strong as a trolleybus
With a tank made of shields
(Two T1 invuln fields)
My corpmates were left quite incredulous


I wanted to use "My fitting skills were not quite sedulous" but I suspect that was a bit minority.

The safety set red,
his motive was dread.
The ship had been fitted,
and crime was committed.
CONCORD made the craft dead.

Let's give it a try and start with a life lesson :

A cruiser without a proper fit
flew into low-sec and took a hit.
The pilot enraged
and fully engaged
only to learn, he couldn't do s-h-i-t.

1)

There once was a pilot named Lou
Who topped off with irregular goo.
He grew hair like a dog,
he smelled like a bog,
and received a wide berth from the crew.


2)

There was a ship builder from Glink
who colored his ships with black ink.
Goon customers came
and loudly complained,
"The color we wanted was pink."

There's this game called Eve I adore.
It leaves me wanting more and more
It's just a shame.
Incarna was lame.
Maybe one day we'll get through the door. P

I mine only Veldspar for fun
I make just a pittance each run
And although it is dull
I still mine 'til I'm full
'Cause I like looking out at the sun
