Crime & Punishment

I used to be a carebear miner when I started out in EVE. But after about a month it seriously started to do my head in. If you look too long at asteroids, they will eventually start talking back to you, which can never be a good sign...or it could have been the rum, I dunno. While sitting semi-afk in the belt or in station, I spent time reading things about PvP and particularly pirating in the forums. Especially the stories in this tread amused me. I was pi-curious, so to say.

Into the second month I made the decision, and created this character to start causing trouble. To prevent I would ever fall back into my carebear ways, I carefully biomassed my now former main. I concluded sitting in an asteroid belt after working hours is not how this game is to be played. I got myself a Rifter, read a ton of guides, tips, websites, fits, watched videos, name it. Figured I would go out there and just...well, cause trouble.

I got my first luck while cleaning up an asteroid belt of yellow wrecks. The owner did not agree with it and sent his drones after me. As a proper pirate, I shot him into hull damage, opened convo and requested him to recall his drones so we could negotiate a ransom - 50% off the price of a Retriever is always sweet if you just start your criminal career. He did not reply me, although he did recall drones. On overview his corpmate warped into the belt to save him. Too late. His supposedly savior followed soon after.

I will summarize the brunt of my newbie experiences as flipping cans, popping haulers and causing general grief (1)(2)(3). Went into lowsec and found a Rokh sitting in a belt. I saw a video of a Rifter taking one out solo. I knew it could take ages, but hey, you learn by trying. His drones shredded me quickly, teaching me to stay away.

With my character being barely two weeks old, I was D-scanning in lowsec. Found a Caracal who was above me in space. With no celestial bodies there, I concluded it must have been a mission or complex runner. My probes locked onto him. I had switched to a Thrasher after solo killing Dagan in it for the SoE epic arch. I warped in at 160km distance, pushed my Thrasher into max speed to catch up. I found the Caracal happily flying from wreck to wreck, collecting his meager rewards from his mission, entirely oblivious of my presence. I locked on and made him aware. I got my first pod with him, too - to my own surprise. Again, he did not reply to my ransoming request, so I had to give my security status another beating. The poor sod was a newbie, but so was I.

Feeling slightly overconfident, I continued roaming lowsec. Came across a much older player sitting around in a complex. I went for him, and again, and again. Maybe it was the rum, but I couldn't figure out why he kept coming back in bigger and bigger boats. I finally caught his pod the third time and made sure he wouldn't come back a fourth. I have to admit his Stabber nearly got me. With only 20% hull left, he only needed one more shot to put me back in reality. Later he messaged me, saying he wanted to practice his PvP skills, hence he kept coming back.

Inspired by the big boys in this thread, this is my start of a so far wonderful pirating career.

Welcome Kane the Black. Kill them all!

Auar

I'm loving this thread.

I *really* need to spend more time in my Rifter in lowsec. Being normally risk-averse I prefer to have a large warchest before engaging in PvP, but I'm getting the distinct impression that it'd be more fun the other way...

So I finally caved....

Lowered myself to started a blog type thing to post my stories and vids. I will be filling the more memorable stories from this thread to the blog in the next couple of days.

And then add some new ones of things that happened since my last post in the pirate thread.

I have also bought myself a new gaming laptop for EVE so those that have the need to criticize something can send me mail so I can break in my laptops new delete key.

The Kane Madness

Proof or it didn't happen.....

You are going through the web 2.0/tech Kane phase right now. Judging from the signs, I believe the next phase will either be emo Kane or hipster Kane.

If you start finding yourself posting blog updates in a coffee shop with a name that isn't trademarked, be worried. Those are early signs of a hipster.

One of my favorite recent ganks, there is no chat log but its ok.
I live in black rise where I kill ships and pods.....people call me a pirate but I disagree, I just pvp indiscriminately.
In the last couple weeks I have seen a fw f*g named 'mean fooker' fly around in a dramiel, I have been unsuccessful in killing him except couple times when he flew into my sb typhoon (always fun there). Then this last week, we begin a classic highsec gate camp.
Out of nowhere.....here comes mean fooker.....who is now part of goonswarm.......in a navy mega........10sec later our highsec eyes d scan a 10man bs fleet wih 4 guardians behind them.........what do they think we are noobs. So we dock up and think. In the meantime mean fooker jumps in and docks with us.
We know he is here for us since we podded all his implants and caused havoc for his fw career, we fly shiny juicy ships and are all mean -10 pirates, and goons dont come by regularly(obviously he reportd about some nasty pirates he wants revenge on who have nice shis to kill). We dont have the numbers to engage the fleet ...BUT...and yes its a big but......we can always play station games with them. So we come up with a stupid plan, Two members from different corps (who needs alliances) undock in fat, juicy bs, and aggress each other at undock. I personally said 'this is stupid and will never work but f*ck it, ill be in the carrier'. so they do this, one of them even types in local 'get him he is aggressed at undock'. Against all odds mean fooker undocks in his navy mega and yellowboxes both the aggressed bs....to make it look real we told them to go to at least 50% armor. Then like a total moron he aggresses the losing bs of the 'fight'......our highsec eyes tell us that their fleet is in highsec on gate waiting.........I say 'unfu*king dock overload guns and kill'. We undocked 2 more bs (baddon and mega and my triple remote rep eccm thanny). By the kill report we find he had slaves set and legion boosts, he went down right as his fleet landed on station. They emoed, they raged, they called us low life scum and tried to get us to undock. It wasnt the best kill but the fact we baited the bait and he was a goon(now) made it sweet.......never heard of somene falling for such obvious bait. i salute you noobs across eve. oh yea kmhttp://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=14602700

Here is another funny one.
Several days ago a lone Golem jumped into low and managed to get passed us after several attempts at tackle. He ran back to high sec. Yesterday I log on......I just lost my 2bil vindicator the previous day, no great kills to speak of, my friend from different alliance telling me how i missed an Archon kill by 20mins.......wasn't the best day of my EVE career. So as usual I begin to wander around see what is going on in the area with my alt while my main sits in a sb Typhoon. Out of nowhere, within 10min of me logging in, the same Golem jumps in....I ofcourse run as fast as I can in my Typhoon to reship. Meanwhile my alt goes to the next gate he was headed and sat there in my Vigilant......Vigilant is set for long scram/web and heavy tank. He jumps in holds cloak, gives me enough time for my main to reship to Oneiros. He decloakes 17km from me, fack, too far for my non boosted 14km scram. MWD overloaded and burn for him.......scram/90% web. I mess up leave my mwd on and he engages back, Oneiros jumps into system when the Vigilant is at 15% armor. Once that happens it's wam bam thank you mam. Here is the km http://wemad.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=14659540 . Got his pod too. He wasn't fitted great but man, for a Cruiser on Maurader fight it was one of my more epic kills.Thx for reading, post some of your guy's stories, I like to read them when the pvp gets slow. he also sent me this mail afterwards :) feel free to translate for yourself.
