Hi folks, just wondering what the done thing is generally when a blue AWOXes?

I got dumpstered last night by a 'coalition-mate' who locked me down while his buddies (from a red corp) jumped in and stomped all over me. I'm happy to suck it up because 'eve', 'content' etc, I've never been AWOXed before so it's kinda cool to be able to add this to the list of stuff I;ve done/had happen in eve - but if losses like this tend to reimbursed by the corp the AWOXer infiltrated, then no reason not to raise it with them I guess?! Lol

Cheers in advance

usually cry on the forums and everyone else collects the tears and tells you to get over it, no you do not get reimbursed for awoxing as its a viable playstyle, ccp also collect tears

Generally the victim(s) will post hilarious whinge threads in the crime and punishment subforum whereby They will be mercilessly mocked and/or wardecked by the mercenary groups loitering therein.

once you lose something in eve, it's gone.
the only exertions to this are losses incurred through exploits,bugs and server-side issues.

I'm guessing the thread title may have misled people a bit - I'm assuming you are asking less "can CCP reimburse", and more "should my corp/alliance/coalition reimburse".

From experience, generally speaking, unless you are in a crap Alliance or Coalition (although, you are in Intrepid Crossing... I think the joke will tell itself here), you will probably want to get in contact with your diplos, both to hopefully get reimbursed (its traditional for awoxers corps to pay up for losses or get kicked along with their bad member, after all it was their shoddy recruiters that let the bad apple in), and so that the rest of your alliance can be warned about the bad member and get him kicked before he racks up too many more of your compatriots. Entirely down to your organisation though.

haha! we're a sleeping giant dude, a sleeping giant LolBlink

yep, sorry this is along the exact lines you described, I'm not referring to a CCP reimbursal - apologies if I could have been a bit clearer in my OP

thanks for the replies so far folks!

Well getting shot up by a blue is not what i would call an awox. An awox is taking substantial assets and cash from the corp and running. Shooting a few blues is sort of Meh. It is like spies in public NPSI fleets, again... meh.

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

Actually, that's exactly what the character Awox is famous for (shooting up people under the cover of blue standings), and how it got named that - the name has just got a bit stretched since.

Allegedly, this is the real AWOX right here:

From my experience when people come to this forum to ask about how stuff is handled inside their corp/ally/coalition they usually are in a crap one Blink

For diplo reasons most corps will reimburse the loss. It's worth bringing up, yes.

I got awoxxed once in Fountain. A blue bomber came in and pointed my Vindicator and his neutral buddies in bombers came in and killed me.

It was my own damn fault, I had an alt in a Tengu hat I dula boxed for protection but I was using it to check the belts when I got pointed. I warped the tengu to the vindicator and killed a few bombers but the vindicator popped. At least they didn't get any loot, and I recovered all the good stuff off the Vindi (loot fairies be praised).

I used it as a learning experience. ALWAYS fit to survive instead of max profit and if you have a 'suicide defender' alt that you rat with, don't send it to the mother F%^&*$ belts looking for officer spawns when it should be protecting you lol.

(The above is what happens when you take responsibility for your failures instead of blaming CCP for letting it happen, because taking responsibly makes you get better at what you were doing so bad things happen less).

Edit: I did get reimbursed by the alliance the awoxxer belonged to.

I wanna get reimbursed for my time spent reading this.

*and typing that^^

**and that^

(and this too)

Ugh

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

**This IS my main so STFU.

AWOX reimbursements? Classic.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
