Diary of a Corp Thief

Like many people who play Eve, I have more than one account. Over the years I have tried PvE, mining, PvP, FW etc… I decided to try something different, and to keep a log of my activities to share once completed. I hope that those who read it find it, if nothing else, amusing. After all this is a game and if we aren't having fun, we’re doing it wrong.

My intention is to document what I have done, and provide a look into the mind of a newbie at the cheat’n’deceit game play style, which tends to be a fairly solitary lifestyle. Keep in mind that this is simply what I have done, and I am not trying to say how to play the game. As you will see this is what worked for me.

With the end game currently underway, I decided that it was time to begin posting the logs. I will be posting the logs of my progress over the next few days. To protect myself as the aftermath begins to play out; I am posting using an alt. At the end, I will post links to screen captures that prove my statements as to what (if anything) I succeeded in stealing.

So please, sit back, grab some beer and popcorn and enjoy the show.

February:

Reactivated a pair of old toons I had in storage on two different accounts. After years of playing Eve I have decided try being the bad guy, the corp thief that everyone dreads. If my cover is blown during the heist, no big deal as I was planning on selling the characters anyways. Best case I can survive the heist with at least 1 of the 2 characters intact.

The first of these I used to apply to a relatively new corp. After several weeks of blending in and trying to become one of the guys, along with some snooping around and probing various security and permissions, as well as confirming they have stuff worth taking it was time to move on to the second phase.

March:

Enter my other toon….the useful one.

Having never been in the same corp as my first toon, I ‘randomly’ found the corp recruitment ad and contacted them. After an initial message I joined their recruitment channel and chatted up their XO. He has asked for an API check….no worries as my toons are on separate accounts. 5 minutes later after his “background check” and I am invited to join the corp… API checks are only good at catching stupid thieves. Time to get to work….

After a few days of basic conversations, and chatter about getting production rolling, they gave me access to their hangar of materials….and blueprints. How trusting. Go team us!

This looks interesting. At least you´re infiltrating them for your personal gain and not just plain "tears"

Looking forward to it. By the sound of your first post, things haven't completely played out yet, so pretty ballsy risking tipping your hand like this. Hope it plays out well.

Oh, and bonus points if a member of the victim corporation posts here, looking forward to hearing the outcome (I have just cursed myself here, haven't I?)

This should be a fun read. I predict a move to C&P, but not until OP posts something truly dastardly. Make it so!

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

April:

It has been about a month and a half, and I have spent the time running various indy jobs and basically trying to ingratiate myself with the corp leadership. Big problem is that the CEO is MIA….not sure if the current directors have the balls to make any serious changes (that I could exploit). I’m sure an opportunity will present itself.

Lol, it is currently in the midst of playing out the end game, so I thought I was safe enough to start posting..... I am hoping that the victim corp does post here....it would be a shame for them to miss out on the fun...

There is no difference.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

I can't believe a corp would be so foolish to let this happen. Wait... where'd all of my BPOs go!

Well I might not be joking, I just came back to the game after having to take over and sell off mine and my brother-in-law's business(never do business with family folks! you never know when they will decide to run up tens of thousands of dollars in debt and to start cancelling contracts because some ugly, sleazy woman they're infatuated with tells them to!) back in December, so there's always the chance that you did steal everything from the corp. I'm in and I just haven't been informed yet. They wouldn't be my BPOs though, since none of mine are anyplace except in a NPC station hangar.

Have popcorn, will travel (to C&P)
