I made this post because it's the 12th time I've done this...... stupid thing!!!!

1) Request a level 4 mission
2) Set the Destination in my Nav Route thingy...
3) Make sure I have Missiles.
4) Travel 4 jumps to the battle zone.
5) Try to warp to battle in system, but no Agent Mission in system ...... start feeling confused!!
6) kick myself for "forgetting to ACCEPT the Mission..

Back in the day when i lived in high sec, running missions for Lai Dai in nourvoukaiken (sp?) I accepted a mission that was one jump out.
Instead of jumping to the right system i jump into Tama. Within 15sec i'm no longer in a drake. The campers dint belive i could no pay 20milion in ransom so i woke up in a station.

Bought ship for pvp. Fit ship. Taken ship to lowsec. Blapped away. Reloaded...reloaded...re- *checks cargo hold* Damnit my ammo is still in Jita Big smile It's happened twice so far lmfao

I'll go sit in the corner now.

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

Set up a huge buy order for ammo, was thrilled to be getting it so cheap. Nearly filled a hauler but had some room left over and grabbed some mission garbage from the item hangar just to fill up the cargo hold. Made 4 jumps to my corp HQ, then took a quick nap.

When I sat back down at the keyboard I dumped everything out of the hold into the reprocessing plant and hit enter. Then I looked for my ammo in the corp hangars... :facepalm:

The more I read the forums over the years, the more I swear. To god. That the typos are intentional mistakes. Part o f the encryption.

I've done a LOT of dumb things, in EVE. I don't even know when to start.

giving an isk scammer a billion isk to leave system and stop flooding the chat is high on the list, though...

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

Needless to say the scammer DIDN'T leave system... but I guess I gave him some publicity, so he occasionally sends me "finder's fees" whenever someone falls for his crap. So, I have pretty much got my bil back, by now.

A Collective Veteran fail.

During the start of the BOB & GBT vs RA/goon war in Delve one of our more veteran members found a huge and I mean huge combat exploration site. He and another Vet ended up losing a pair of Battle ships to it; more due to them both being under the influence of the fizzy pop!

Anyways, we are on Teamspeak discussing how we might 'take it down'.

Problem was that our Logi ships were out of position, and the war while still not hot was getting to the point where moving anything was either a big deal or getting dodgy without numbers.

As we discussed the matter, the only Intel we had was "There was a fo**ing shite load of them." Not really a useful description. So, seeing as I had a throwaway Executioner cluttering up my hold, I decided to use that to get to the site, then go in, loose the ship, then I could float about doing a better head count.

So off I go, get to the site, jump in, click on a central structure and issue the orbit at current range, then lit up the Over drive supported Afterburner. A couple of seconds my ship vanishes under a haze of green as about 50 BS with assorted rabble open up on Max. But by then I am trucking and nothing is touching me.

Anyways, I do a head count, and we spend another 20 mins discussing the best way to take it down with our limited resources to hand. Remember, this is about five day one and Beta age Vets.

Then a new voice chips in, one of the new guys, both new to us and new to Eve, still in high sec, but listening in to get a feel for things.

The Convo sort of went like this;

Noobie: Max, can I ask, you are in the site?
Max : Yup
Pause
Noobie: In your Executioner?
Max : Yup
Pause
Noobie: And you have the agro? All of the agro?
Max : Yu............FFS!!!! %^&$£!!!!!

You could hear palms slapping foreheads and that famous Homerian battle cry "D'oh!" in several parts of the world.

Needless to say, within five minutes 4 Corp BS jumped in and the site started to die.

And yes, we all made a donation to ensure that Noobie got an equal share of the kill bonus and loot value

Attacking another player in front of Dodixie in my second day of play. I thought it's a pvp game, so I get very mad at the npc's shooting me down.. almost filled a bug report. Took me a while to understand what Concord is and why I can't freely pvp in high sec :/ Never skip or rush the tutorials if your new to the game.

Joined Minmatar militia, flew in the first novice plex i found, someone rang doorbell, docked ship at nearest station, went to check who is by the door. Came back to see message about "Amarr rejecting me docking rights", on a closer look i saw that i was already in my clone at Amarr, because i forgot to move my clone to minmatar space. Fit a frig, undock, got shot again. Leave FW, fly to Hek trying to join FW again, getting 24 hour message.

I never did something stupid. Not even that one time I refused to stay aligned just because 5 hostiles entered our 0 sec home system... -.-

Poor old Cupcake of Love... I'll miss that drake, the best mixed T1 launcher setup one could get for 2m isk... Sad

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Never bothered to look into what happens in Incursions. Undocked and headed for an asteroid belt in my Retriever. Started slowboating towards the roids and deployed drones etc. Panic set in when I realised that the first shot from the rat had taken a large chunk of shields. Tried to warp back out but was too slow to align. Pop. Learn to look up what happens, even if you aren't going to do them!
