I've trashed a 4bil isk Naglfar, a 6bil isk Ark, and a fully researched orginal T2 Warden bpo which I won through the lottery.

As CEO I rigged the elections in my corp for the "co-ceo" because the idea of the "other guy" winning made my eyes bleed, and the other guy was such a flake he'd never show up anyways, and I used an alt in corp to prop the guy up and get him hot to run for Co-Ceo.

I often forget my unbonused ship has drones, regardless of whether they are inside or outside of the hull.

One time I left my hammerhead I's in space.
Don't think I've ever done anything beyond that aside from maybe accidentally buying 8000 Meta1 cap batteries for 700,000isk a pop instead of 7000isk but that doesn't really count since I blot the memory from my consciousness and rock back and forth in the fetal position shivering & crying when I do happen to recall it.

Just remembered one of my worst. So we are lowsec dudes right? Often we have killrights on us, so we are supposed to know how they work. OK, so this corpmate got himself ganked somewhere in hisec hauling stuff. I ask him to open up the KR so we can go hunt down the ganker in question. We find him and I start killing him...

Had I bothered to actually activate the KR I would still have that Hurricane. Instead I got CONCORDed and a KR was placed on me for illegal agression. I looked like a right fool and our marks off course laughed in local at my incompetence.

I remember being in jita, as a girl contacted me.
I am sure she kept an eye at me for a while already,
because it was really obvious what she was about ...
... and that she knew what I was about as well.

We didn't even talk for ten minutes and I already started moving to her home place,
a rather highly populated gallente station.

After arrival, it didn't take too long until we established a person connection.
She wanted me to stay... I wanted to stay at her side ...
... and the only requirement for me to stay in her quarters ...
... was to always run around naked.......

Did my PI runs in lowsec, all was fine until I see that I completely forgot to hit F1 this day... you know, the one linked with the Covert cloak Shocked I prayed the Eve's gods for not having been ganked like a fool Oops

The most recent one, already talked about in C&P; expedition in lowsec with my T3 and logi, began the exp, seen combat probes in DScan, gtfo as it should be, once warped off I warped back to the exp gate because hey they lost my location or something Roll finally lost my T2 logi into a failfight Lol Since I adapted my T3 fit for solo op and I setup a gtfo option BEFORE doing any PVe. This is Eve.

I once sold an officer large armor repairer that was worth ~350M for 350k. THAT contract got snapped up in a hurry after I advertised it in Jita! I count my 0s more carefully now :)

I once lost a set of LG Slave implants in lowsec while trying to warp to the sun to escape. After several failed attempts to warp and screaming at the computer, someone finally put me out of my misery. Epic facepalm moment ensued when I remembered we had been fighting at the sun... I was in a shield-tanked ship at the time too, for added lulz.

I lost a nanofit ratting Kronos to an obvious lowsec gatecamp.

Bonus points:

Shocked It was dual tanked.
Idea My guns were in my cargohold, due to lack of skills.
Oops I was in Spacemonkey's Alliance.

Beat this!




Makes sense then , anything less then a kestrel full of plex wouldn't even be noticed there Blink .



And for the question most emberassing ... well i've done a shitload of stupid stuff in eve - including loosing about 50 Billion isk because of not checking the amount of null's right on my sale - but as it is a game i never really felt ashamed Lol.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

I was mining in Hibi in my Procurer one night, about halfway through my second drink, when my alliance director asks if I want to pop down to his lowsec system and mine some gnesis. Sure, why the hell not? He tells me they've got some ships down there for me to use, but no, I say, I'll just bring my own. So I jump my Proc four jumps down into lowsec and start mining with them. A few folks from my small alliance, a few people from a local corp we were friends with, and then a handful of others ratting in the belts and promising to come shoot things if things started shooting us. I fill up on the prismatic and go to pour myself another round. When I get back, everyone is bailing from the ore site because there's apparently a fleet moving through the near by systems and it was quittin' time. So I bail out......through the gate, not to the station where they had blockade runners ready to take the ore back to highsec and shuttles for all. No, I decided that I was going to take my slow ass barge back through four lowsec jumps with a hostile fleet running around. The rest writes itself. There was a maller on the other side of the gate because of course there was. And that maller was watching the gate on behalf of said fleet because of course they were. So I says to myself "Self, let's play a game. See if you can down this third glass of rum and coke before they kill you." I break cloak, immediately pointed because I was still using a maximum tank proc with no stabs, and then the fleet shows up. A couple marauders, handful of cruisers, five or six assault frigates. I fire up my hardeners, launch drones because I have drones to launch, and just chug the rum. And then I pop and, as a small victory, I managed to save my pod for the first time in my Eve career. Didn't finish the drink though.

Got back to hisec and mined a little more.

I cannot let go of the fear of spending more ISK than I make, even though I love shooting stuff and I enjoy getting shooted at.

This prevents me from enjoying EvE fully.

But its always calling me back, gently caressing my ear telling me that ''It will be fine this time darling, just give it a chance''.

So the idea is simple: post the most embarrassing, terrible, or secret thing that has happened involving you in EVE. Post with your main (if you dare) or random NPC alt, doesn't matter.

Obviously, I'll start:

I was once awoxed by a corp member years back (on a now inactive trial account). I was still pretty new to the game but my kestrel was given no mercy. To this day, I have this character on watchlist hoping I can one day return the favor... However, I cherish the thought that perhaps I am on someone's similar list today Pirate.

Have fun!

I got caught up in a raffle in the Radio channel back when it was more popular.. ended up giving all my isk away thinking I would be popular in the channel.. billions of isk and only a day later I was roused by hundreds of people over a simple comment about a dj. I was younger, and dumber. It happens. Not that embarrassing but I remember it well. It's funny how our "characters" grow with us over the years in regards to our own maturity, intelligence, gullability, etc. I can't really name an online experience that can parallel my own life like EVE does simply because our interactions matter so much in game.

My second would probably be when I was halted on a gate by a gang and I gave up my Hyperion simply because they ordered me to. I hadn't been playing long and could barely fly it. I was sad at first, but that event is what fueled my drive to learn Pvp.
