I was just thinking that it would be fun to get some of our favorite forum posters together in a fleet once every few months or so. Just to go do stuff. No overriding agenda. No role-playing crap. Just good clean EvE fun.

Maybe some time we take over Thera for a day. Maybe some time we go out and just **** in some null sec cheerios for an evening. Hell, maybe we troll people and mine once in a while. And then get bored and gank some miners. Whatever.

Just a thought. Because I think it would be absolutely hilarious to get UaE, Sibyyl, Rain, Sol, Fluffers, Peen, Paranoid Lloyd, Ralph King-Griffin, and maybe a couple of dozen others on comms while we just go make mischief somewhere.


Any takers?


As long as I can do a recitation of Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge during the roam.

Imagine it.
My scratchy monotone voice rasping out:
"One after one, by the star-dogg'd Moon,
Too quick for groan or sigh,
Each turn'd his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye.

Four times fifty living men
(And I heard nor sigh nor groan),
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
They dropp'd down one by one."
...while U@E calls targets.

Loot the field, boys and girls.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

By day, I'm a software engineer. By night, I'm a classical violinist. I date a literature professor. So yes. On all counts, reciting poetry on comms is completely okay. Until the FC tells us to shut the f*** up.

I pee all over everything every time I read that thread.


My girlfriend hates that thread.

I'm all, "HAHAHAHA!!! Hey!! Sweetie! I'm peeing all over your Lululemon stuff again!"

gf: "Goddammmit!! Is it that damn UaE thread again? I F***ING HATE THAT THREAD!!"

This sounds like it could be quite fun. If my work schedule permits it I'm in.
If I can make it I can confirm I will not be sober.

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

.....

I'll put two billion ISK into ship replacements for this.
I'll know who is in fleet, show me the KM, etc, etc, don't try to scam me because I reserve the right to not pay anyone anything for any reason.

Let me know if you have any other thoughts, people.


While I appreciate your offer to reimburse losses, I don't think ship replacement is acceptable for this fleet.
I mean, this is about more than just regular pewpew.
Flying a fully reimbursable ship is like posting a whine thread on an NPC corp alt on the forums.
We need to show that we take full responsibility for our actions with no easy way out to mitigate the potential damage.

Instead of just terrible comedy fits, I would suggest to go for difficult-to-control fits with a maximum chance for fuckups and ensuing chaos.
Like, oversized prop mods and MJDs on everything, ECM bursts, smartbombs, FoF missiles... surely someone can come up with cool fits that are as likely to hurt your own fleetmates as the enemy..

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

on a related note, bronson has started a thunder dome which might be funny

could be fun for a npsi fleet at some point though.

This has gotten pitiful little attention. I figured that, by now, people would have been challenging folks to grudge matches, or me to the title, for sure.

I traditionally like to keep my sec status above -2.0 so I don't have to worry about hisec travel limitations.

I would totally wreck it for a chance to do that though. The sentries at range were a really nice touch. Big smile

Grats on the likes. Cool

Yea that Thunder Dome is a great idea. Give it time and a little more exposure, it may grown. Cool

Thunderdome.


What is this?
It's way too long and poorly formatted to read.

Also do I look way too cute for having to read this!
I demand that someone gives me a TL;DR!


(also, you can have disco fleets with me anytime. Not just pointless ones, though.)
(and wtf is your corporation about anyway???)

Two men enter, one man leaves.

That's the jist of it, the rest is laying out rules and restrictions to keep fights fair and honest. Given that it originated in C&P, I felt them necessary. It began as a forum grudge between me and another frequenter of C&P over a promised Thanatos* that he had failed to deliver. The second match came as a result of someone who wanted to know my fit, to which I replied that he'd only get it if he fought me for it. I have yet to have any other challengers, nor has anyone else called anyone out for a grudge match.

I will keep this offer in mind. Blink

We are a single out-of-pod entity corporation. Our name is a merging of one of the best lines of the best movies of all time, The Blues Brothers, with the name of my first corp in EvE, Knights of the Wild. As for what we're about...we do a little bit of everything. We do some building and some exploring, but those are largely just ways to support our penchant for blowing stuff up.


*I have been promised Thanatoses by several forum goers now, and none of them have delivered. One has paid his debt by bearing his shame in his forum signature. I have yet to deal with the rest. One current long-term goal of my corp is to receive a Thanatos purely via Forum Warrioring.

And I have no idea why you would care about travelling restrictions.
They aren't even real restrictions. They are so easy to deal with, even as -10 ...

Easy to deal with, yes, but they most certainly limit your options. I like having options....

Can someone who is -10 go to Jita and buy a battleship, fit it, and fly it home on their own?
Can someone who is -10 roam around hisec looking for potential targets without attracting attention to themselves?
Can someone who is -10 pass as someone who is "not a threat" in losec in order to bait their prey into a trap?
Can someone who is -10 slowly orbit a hisec gate just...waiting to see what comes their way?
Can someone who is -10 do anything in space in hisec other than travel or suicide gank?
Can someone who is -10 get paid to bash POSes in hisec?

Sure, you could use alts for all of these things, but I can do them myself, which means I can save my alts for other activities. Particularly with the last one, wasting all of my combat skills simply because of sec status seems rather silly.

DISCLAIMER: I'm totally not bashing being -10 here. Some folks work around it, and I say kudos to them for it. I just prefer being able to do all of these things myself instead of having to rely on a fleet of alts to do them for me. I'd much rather use a fleet of alts for things that you actually need a fleet for. Blink
