Posted a whinethread about AFK gatecamping in Crime and Punishment after my shitfit sentinel got blapped by a pipebomb. They were very mean to me Cry I had to hold my own d*ck in the end.

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

Autopiloted a Tengu from Jita to Stacmon for a short time to check my food in the kitchen... Well, my Gallente Standing is not that good. Who needs gankers anyway if the NPC's can do the job...

Oh, you are not even close...good stories, but not even close to mine.

1.Back in '08 I was mining, but I got tired of running back and forth to the station, so I had this "genius" thought to mine in a T1 industrial ship, so I bought a Badger, fitted it with mining lasers and here comes the best part...I used smartbombs to defend myself from rats...So, mining in an industrial with smartbombs! Someone approached me and CONCORD said "Hello!"

No safety back then Big smile

2.Trying to kill a Vexor in a Taranis, close range.

3. Attacking a POS with a Carrier...took 'em 40 minutes to find me and approach me with a Manticore...The rest is clear - I got "honored" by 2 titans and company...

4. Tried to manipulate all trade hubs at once by buying all available items (not buildable) from them. This one actually worked, I managed to get a spike in the price and sold my items for a few days, but it was soo risky and stupid idea...

5. Flying a freighter into Perimeter while at war...I actually forgot about this war, but I got a nice reminder Roll

And plenty more, but my number one is the dumbest thing I've done, even if didn't cost me much.

I put a 5mn MWD on a Cerberus instead of a 50 and wonder why in hell I was only going 200 m/s in a fight. The good thing Is I didn't die so there is no killmail to let people know of my mistake.

..Wait a minute, did I just tell people of the mistake I made that they would otherwise not know... Damn you internet.

On my first trial I decided to run courier contracts for easy money. One day I had taken a contract with huge pay without looking at the destination. Cursing myself for this I decided take my cruiser and head to the destination in 0.0 (I didn't want bad reputation.) . When I reached low-sec, suprise suprise, a gatecamp. Losing my horribly fitted caracal was immediate. After I was transfered back to the station I looked at my killmail and realized that my packet had survived. As soon as possible I bought a new caracal and went to retrieve it. Of course I was killed immediately. Did I stop there? Nope, had to try six more. At this point I had lost all of my money. Realising what I had just done made me to biomass my character in shame.

It took me 3 months to come back and try again.

Long live the Empress Catiz of Amarr!!

JC'd with my +5 clone in the same station. Poof.
Took my +5 into lowsec for faction warfare. I forgot to JC. Poof.
Figured my bad a## blingy BS could take on two Cynibals. Maybe it might have had I not forgotten to turn on shield mods. Poof.

I am sure that the dumbest thing I can do is yet to come ... and that doesn't mean I haven't done very dumb things already but I am very able to outdo myself.
