Pirates Ahoy #5 Tears


Pirates Ahoy #5 Tears
With ‘Project Rifter™’ well under way there may be a few less of the ‘Pirates Ahoy’ variety. However I did, against my initial wishes and plans, undock other ships than the Rifter and felt the need to share.

On a little roam, lead by a rather upbeat and friendly z0de (must have got laid or summin) we passed through Tasti and stumbled into an offlined Pos. We did try to ransom the owner of the POS but with no liquid isk we decided to chop up the anchored structures. Unfortunately nothing of value dropped and the 0.5 million isk the pilot offered to keep his tower didn’t seem worth the effort of harassing the poor guy any further.

The roam also netted us a Rifter kill, a Badger, and a Harbinger. Nothing to shout about really, however the unfolding events after brand new Bastard (then still a recruit) Nichonostra killed this Hound are worth a chuckle.

The Pilot ‘Shadowoperative Nate’ let loose the biggest downpour of tears seen so far in my eve career. Yes he did fit a True Sancha Scrambler on his Bomber, bit strange perhaps but sometimes you do silly things and just suck it up, move on. Shadow however ended up offering everyone in local 40 million is for Nichon’s corpse and added a 50 million bounty on his head. To top it off he offered a further 50 mil for frapsing the podding of Nichon.

Needless to say implantless Nichon had his egg cracked open voluntarily and the 90 mil was banked. I failed to fraps the moment and thus missed out on that extra 50 but Shadow did throw some more money around to multiple pilots in local. He also got himself kicked from his corp there and then for being an idiot. He claimed himself he was kicked because of his harsh handling of outlaws.

The following is some of the shit he spouted in local, some more was through private convo’s with various pilots. I have deleted some other ramblings from local to keep it as short as possible;

[ 2010.05.17 21:45:05 ] Shadowoperative Nate > What is that a solo camp?

Nichon Pops the sucker…

[ 2010.05.17 21:46:40 ] Shadowoperative Nate > Ok I rest my case

Our little fleet including Nichon are huddled up in a safespot… laughing.

[ 2010.05.17 21:52:13 ] Nashh Kadavr > you said 40
[ 2010.05.17 21:52:14 ] Shadowoperative Nate > 20 mil will be transferred into your account
[ 2010.05.17 21:52:21 ] Shadowoperative Nate > plus the 20 on his bounty

[ 2010.05.17 21:54:34 ] Shadowoperative Nate > look at his bounty -.-

[ 2010.05.17 21:54:47 ] Nashh Kadavr > i'll go in again and give it my all but not without a risk fee up front
[ 2010.05.17 21:54:59 ] Nashh Kadavr > why would i risk my ship for 20 i may not get
[ 2010.05.17 21:55:31 ] Nashh Kadavr > kk my ship is repaired

[ 2010.05.17 21:55:35 ] Shadowoperative Nate > Because of the 20 on his bounty?

[ 2010.05.17 23:04:24 ] Shadowoperative Nate > gogo. =)


By this point he had bored us enough and he had been talking to himself for ten minutes... time to move on…

-o0o-

Strange post this, very much so like Aiden Mourne would do after beating up carebears in highsec. Speaking of wich, Mr Mourne has accepted a CDM duel which will be arranged for some point in the near future. Rules have not yet been decided but I am sure he will come up with something clever and/or funny. No pressure…

-o0o-


As our roam came to an end Waylan Yutani requested to duel me. I of course accepted and he suggested fighting in Cruisers. We made the 3 jumps to Todi were I have a small selection of ships including my favourite Vexor.
I plugged myself into the onboard systems and undocked only to re-dock immediately as it was severely damaged. Must have left it there in a bit of a state after a previous roam, how unlike me.

Repaired and ready to go I sailed ‘Baby on Board VI’ into the black vacuum. Waylan’s Thorax was already waiting outside the station and I suggested to meet up in a safe spot or at a planet but his cold response was; no, here outside the station. I started to explain I would take station aggro but didn’t complete my sentence as Aura warned me of the aggressors’ incoming fire.

Drones swiftly deployed from their hold and sped to the Thorax as I opened the drone only overview. ECM drones?! Crap! My small guns and webs made swift work of 3 Electronic Warfare Drones but before I could engage the 4th; space lit up in a satisfying blue light.

Waylan’s pod drifted in wreckage and grey plumes of smoke, circled by 2x T2 Ogres, 2x T2 Hammerheads and a T2 Hobgoblin…

The pleasant chap explained that this was the ship he had beaten Mynxee in many moons ago. I vaguely remembered a post of hers regarding this. Didn’t you offer to buy her a new ship, something about E-honour and the unfairness of ECM-Drones? Maybe I am wrong.

Anyways, Mr Yutani said I passed the test and I could now join his corp, lol! Nice meeting you chap and hope to see you again some day.

  3. Man, nothing like plex pilots throwin cash around like a jackass. These are the same guys at strip clubs who think they're being awesome droppin a bil a lapdance at a strip club when the stripper would've only charged 20 bucks and they get the same damn thing anyways.

  4. You are a star Nashh and well done for Nicho for playing along. However, it does show us that the current bounty system is a bit borked but this chap clearly was missing some items from his tool-box!
