What is funny is that you think that your "English" language is some set language. It is actually a bastardized version of old Germanic languages. So to say that your "English" spelling is correct when your "English" language has been just as bastardized as the Americanized dialect, is about as hypocritical as you can be.

That would be 'bastardised' and 'Americanised'. P

The English language has evolved and changed over time. No prizes there. What annoys me is when a language evolves from sheer ignorance and laziness. Thanks America!

Good luck with your English subdialect.

Back on topic!

We hit 49.93B destroyed tonight, before the incursion channels became ghost towns:

Yup, there's always tomorrow...

Interestingly enough, and in Gaz's defense, "payed" seems to be a completely acceptable (although far less common) version of the past tense for pay, according to American Heritage Dictionary, Merriam Webster, and Dictionary.com.

It amazes me how ignorance perverts the English language. As far back as I can remember it was never used for a representation of "payment". I guess the more people misspell words or misuse them they get added with their perversions to the "dictionary". I was dumbfounded when they added ain't to the dictionary 10 or 15 years ago. What the hell is ain't a contraction of? There certainly isn't a word "ai" unless you are discussing artificial intelligence, artificial insemination or some weird sloth from South America. I'm not sure how any of those could be contracted and/or be used in reference to what "ain't" is supposed to mean.

...and no, "languages evolve" is not a valid defense for not using proper grammar and spelling imo... Blink It's a cop-out.

Yeah Btl pub was really quiet aswell lastnight :( shame, I guess all the incersioners isk presses broke down.

Oh and as far as im concerned the internet (and texting) has created it own language, like lol. Its all about using terible gramer and spelling which was widly adopted world wide, fancy that.

So if everyone promises to stop using text speak, we can all go back to using high english on the marrow good sir.

Gazmin actually constructs proper sentences in corp chat. I give him 8/10 for garnering so many negative responses to his use of the English language. *discuss

Getting back on topic now; at one point we (Skunks) had complete control over the local incursion channel for the better part of 2 hours. Both BTL and TDF channels seemed confined to non fleet-forming chatter as well. Mostly people just talked about different strategies and fittings for their favorite shiny faction BS or t3. This could mean several things: We've frightened enough incursionbears into not pursuing their favorite past time, it was just an off night, or maybe they are hanging out in the opposite high-sec incursion. Personally I think that public fleets aren't being formed as often.

It's usually like that in BTL with a spattering of **** fit / **** ships linked xing up. Mostly people just trolling each other or conversing then a rash of xing up then more trolling and chatter.

There have been measurably fewer people in the Vanguard systems the past couple of weeks and your beloved channels are pretty much endless QQ about CCP not "fixing" the griefing.

That's an achievement.

Hey, everything better for me. More space in the crowded vanguards systems to do sites!
*looks around*, I don't see any QQ, what is this QQ you are talking about?
And do please define "your beloved channels". There's dozens and dozens of incursion channels and they can't all be mine, my good sir.

Ladies and gentlemensk,

Skunkworks, a mere six days after incursions declared war on us, have reached our goal of 60 Billion worth of incursion bear ships killed! It's been a wild ride so far, with people expressing both incredible hate and the heartiest congrats. Due to this we've met like-minded players that we never would have had a chance to chill with otherwise.

The incursionbears themselves have been great hosts. They commonly announce our presence to each other, while making furtive superstitious hand gestures to ward us off, like we were some kind of evil spirits. At the same time, they've continued to feed us a steady supply of kills, the kills were often in Machs and Nightmares. We've even gotten to watch their perception of us develop over that time. On the first day they thought we were all Slimy Worm's alts. By the third day they were claiming we had been black-listed for the better part of a year. On the fifth day someone say a Velator wreck in an OTA and announced that we had 'can flagged' that incursion and nobody should enter.

Our impact has been such that they feel like they've been persecuted for weeks or even monthes and are flat out telling each other ghost stories about us.

The kills themselves have been great, too. Sometimes they were like an assembly line. Incursion bears go out one end and come in the other. Often two or even three at a time. Other times, we've had to milk the kills out gently, like some kind of extremely delicate japanese art. Often, we would directly instruct them to do things that didn't make the slightest bit of sense, except that it ushered them to their doom.

Here are some of my favourite killmails from the campaign so far:

http://www.forscience.co/KB/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=582 This dude dropped a gun in order to fit an energy transfer. Except he didn't have the skills, so he went and bought the book and trained it. We killed several other things with him in fleet while he was doing that.

This Rattlesnake watched us kill a dude and when we 'regrouped' at shortly after he repped me and got himself killed.

We have also gotten some extremely choice tears. Let me show you some of the shorter but more delicious snippets:

Inspironous > either way your a ****** and suck at life

SOLE Fide > well then they have exploted the game beyond all reason... and it will crash on them :)

Lord Wickham > what should be happeneing is btl should be putting a grief fleet up for the griefers
Lord Wickham > kill their basi a few times and they will soon stop

Valichaos > whatever
Valichaos > go **** yourself you dumb **** sucker

Dame TTUSOONI > yeah
Dame TTUSOONI > **** you
Dame TTUSOONI > you and your freinds will pay for this
Dame TTUSOONI > sooner or later
Psychotic Monk > Oh yeah? What are you going to do?
Dame TTUSOONI > you don't have to care about that

Christopher Williams > **** you faggity

Thanks very much, incursion bears. And thanks for the money to buy some of those shiny ships we see you guys running around in. They're nice. I hope this only gets better from here.

Haha, I remember DAME, that was a fun kill. Profitable too, iirc.

Yes, guys, we remember most of you by name. We've topped 100 kills now, yet we're able to recall most of them and avoid dropping them the same bait twice.

See you in the incursion channel.
