Here’s a story for you fine folks that make C&P so much fun:

A note on our gang: Harbinger, Pilgrim, Myrmidon, and an alt bomber to scan and scout (and apparently die to rats while we aren’t paying attention).

The first kill actually made me feel bad. We showed up in the system and a "diplomat" there for a Corp contacted me and said they were interested in forming an alliance with us. Me, having read through C&P and having knowledge of the great lengths people go to scam/murder/pillage/sodomize fellow pilots, played along but formed our own plan.

I told the guy we were peaceful explorers (we are on most days!) and had just found a 6/10 (it was a lie, but a few minutes later we actually found a 5/10) and wouldn't mind some help if he or any of his friends wanted to join.

Turns out one of his Corp mates did want to join. The guy tells us he is flying a Drake, links his fitting, and goes on to talk about the game, etc., etc. We watch him on the star map slowly make his way across the galaxy to meet up with us as we wait inside the 5/10 (the nice part of me was kind of hoping he and his Corp were actually plotting something and came prepared for a fight). A few minutes later he shows up in the system, alone.

He jumps through the activation gate.

"What’s up?" he asks when we bring his shields down to 50%.

"Sorry, bro, nothing personal." I reply.

As he is about to die, he utters his final words: "Nothing personal???"

We like to think he actually said "Oh hey bro, I don't need shield repair just yet. Why you targeting bro!? Bro?!?"

His diplomat tried to open chat with me again, but I spare him the details and simply closed the window. No point in more drama.

(Go on to Part 2)

Notes:
1) This is, of course, nothing amazing by most standards, but for us this was an awesome milestone. I hope to post more stories down the road. Video footage of the fights will also be posted once we finish editing out the long intervals of waiting/sitting around. Suggestions for background music welcomed.

2) For a little more background on us, check out the prior post: Worm R*pe

Good Job on the Kills.

The Pirate story post is meant for this kind of thing. So post it in there before ISD cleans this post of and removes all your killmails.

Nice story, however you do realize you guys lost badly.
Trading a pilgrim and a harbinger for a rupture and a cane is by no means something to brag about.
Oh well, keep up the good work tho! Big smile

For future reference: playing station games in a pilgrim is not good. apart from that at least your thread was half decent.

Call me conceited, but my idea of a fun story is from the tears of those who have been scammed. I found this to be very bland.

The Drake pilot had some tears!

Also I didn't say this was a "fun" story, only that you guys make C&P so much fun. I still don't have a fun one yet : )

I'll make sure to do that next time. Thanks, Kane!

Moved a sizable portion over. Hope that's enough to make ISD happy!

Our record before this was 0% efficiency. Like I said, nothing compared to most of you all, but in my league these are good numbers!
