For those who read my last post, I finally figured out what to do in Eve this time around…and hopefully for good, I’m tired of starting new characters.  5 year player…1.1mil skill points…sucks.

But, before I get to what I’ve chosen, I might as well get the boring stuff out of the way.

Website:

I am going to keep the site on the same domain, I like it too much to abandon it.  There will however be some changes around here.  Starting with the design, as you can tell it’s already changed a bit…that’s because after a year of being gone, I had to update a bunch of stuff…and the old theme was outdated.  So, while I work on an [awesome] replacement, this one will have to do.

Do to all the updating, please let me know if you see anything wrong with the site.  I’m checking over stuff, but of course I might miss something and would greatly appreciate any extra eyes if I miss stuff.

Name Change:

I am no longer Cyberin.  I was debating whether to talk about this or not, but I might as well get it out there.  When I quit last time, I was sitting on a rather large pile of ISK.  Part of my reasons for quitting were time/financial based…so…you can guess what I decided to do.  All of my accounts have since been banned for obvious reasons (and if that’s not obvious to you, I’m sorry you are an idiot :p).

[EDIT FOR CLARITY - It was pointed out to me that the above part about RMT came off as possibly bragging about being spacerich and then just deciding to sell my ISK because I felt like it.  I just wanted to correct that assumption.  I did what I did because I had already decided to quit playing due to personal issues.  At the time I had some important stuff come up that I needed some funds for which at the time overrode my dislike of RMT and a video game.  I did what I did because it was the only logical thing for me to do at the time, since I didn't think I was going to be returning to EVE.  I learned a hard lesson, have been punished severely for it, and it is in the past.]

My new character is Staxed, which is a name I’ve use for a very, very long time…just not in Eve…so now here I am!

My New Career:

Some of you may remember faintly my foray into being a Pirate.  I briefly was a member of the Tuskers.  I don’t remember what happened, it’s all foggy…but it didn’t last long and then I went to be a ninja again or something.

Well, I’m finally back to becoming a Pirate.  All my time in EVE I’ve wanted to do it, never really have…not sure why, but it’s time to throw caution to the wind and jump in head first.

I’ve already lost 4 ships messing around, my skills suck (and I’m a bit rusty maybe?) but I’m having a blast so far.

So, from here on out, you can expect battle reports and hopefully the ever loved tears and sarcastic chat logs…as the newest member of the Black Rebel Rifter Club!  And I must say, being in the midst of so many other bloggers who have the same goals and plans as I do is going to be refreshing!

What happened to Cyberin?  Well…when I quit last time, and said I’d never be back (kudos to those that told me I was wrong)…I decided to cash out…I sold all my ISK (about 20bil if I remember correctly) for real money (dirty dirty RMTer!).  I thought about petitioning CCP and trying to get the account back…but, after the recent RMT crack down…I figured I wouldn’t bother.

So, I’m back with a new character…and have no clue what I want to do in EVE this time around.  Maybe I should start a bet about how long I’ll be around this time (hoping for a while, wife said it’s ok ).

———-

I burned a lot of bridges last time around with a few friends (namely the ninjas), and that style of life just doesn’t seem fun to me anymore…so I won’t be doing ninja stuff.

For the past few days I’ve been messing with PI and doing some missions while I work on core skills, and trying to figure out what to do.  I might pickup scamming a bit, or maybe I’ll just go completely legit this time (/smirk).

I do know that I’ll have an alt or two focusing on industry/market related stuff to bring in the ISK…after that, I don’t know what to do right now.  I enjoy too much stuff to make up my mind.

What would you guys like to see/read about?  I’ve thought about making a new blog, starting off from scratch, and just posting about all sorts of stuff…involving everything I do.  Need something to do that I can turn into entertaining posts at least

Good news…I’m back in EVE.  Just trying to figure out if I’m going to start up this one again, or start a new blog.  More details coming soon…for now, comment if you are still there

Anyone out there? originally appeared on Hands Off, My Loots! on May 8, 2012.

This post, to start the Scam series off only contains one scam though…for the simple fact that I’ve made it a goal for myself to start including images in most of my posts…so wanted to start that process now rather than waiting down the line and deciding not to do it…

———-

So, you all should know about my recent 15 Billion ISK scam, if not…go read it if you want.  This has gotten me hooked on doing the recruitment scams, and although a lot fail, always bet on stupid.

I normally just chill in the recruitment channel in game, but decided to hit up the recruitment forums themselves this time and it turned out to be a decent choice.  I’m not sure if I will keep using the forum though, for the simple fact that the Misfits are currently recruiting and I’m not sure if people posting in their threads would hurt our recruitment that much (maybe maybe not…it could also work in our favor by turning people towards us that like this kind of thing…which is of course the type of people we are looking for).

Anyway, I didn’t have to look very far, as on the first page of the Recruitment Forums I found a mark.  Mr. DingoGS, newly returning player looking for a corp out in 0.0 that is actually similar to the Misfits (he actually might have been a decent addition…other than the fact he wasn’t smart enough not to fall for a recruitment scam…if he had said no to paying me, he’d probably be a Misfit right now).

To work I go!

note: this is not actually a really interesting story at all…and is quite boring at some times…so tl;dr for people that don’t wanna read it…I scammed a dude for ~150mil ISK…and he didn’t produce many Tears…that’s about it.  I’ll make sure my other ones after this are much more entertaining…I just wanted to post some pictures for once (and the pictures aren’t even that impressive…lol)

[ 2011.03.01 23:06:34 ] Cyberin > greetings, just saw your post on the forums
[ 2011.03.01 23:07:06 ] Cyberin > we are recruiting at the moment, figured I’d tell you a bit about us then we can go from there
[ 2011.03.01 23:07:08 ] DingoGS > then you know what iam looking for
[ 2011.03.01 23:07:25 ] DingoGS > yup go ahead, please
[ 2011.03.01 23:07:49 ] Cyberin > We currently live in NPC Nullsec (Syndicate) because there’s plenty of pvp out here, and we don’t really want the hassle of sov at the moment (not ruled out in the future)
[ 2011.03.01 23:08:28 ] Cyberin > we have at least 4-5 ops a week (usually 7 or more), that range from normal roams, to black ops stuff (redacted for OPSEC)
[ 2011.03.01 23:08:56 ] Cyberin > we are a member of a good sized alliance and one of the major players in the area of syndicate that we reside in, and a VERY laid back bunch of people
[ 2011.03.01 23:09:01 ] Cyberin > fly what you want, do what you want style
[ 2011.03.01 23:09:22 ] Cyberin > as well as plenty of knowledgeable people to help learn anything you may have questions about
[ 2011.03.01 23:09:56 ] Cyberin > and depending on how you prefer to fly, sometimes we roam in gangs of 5, sometimes we do it in gangs of 40, so there’s plenty to do
[ 2011.03.01 23:10:12 ] DingoGS > what timezone?
[ 2011.03.01 23:10:25 ] Cyberin > mostly US, a few euros
[ 2011.03.01 23:10:58 ] Cyberin > and to show how active we are, you can check out the killboard if interested http://droog.rwpcomputers.com/
[ 2011.03.01 23:11:10 ] DingoGS > (sec, checking)
[ 2011.03.01 23:12:49 ] DingoGS > so yall fly BC-BS sized stuff for the most part right?
[ 2011.03.01 23:13:02 ] Cyberin > normally BC and below t1/t2
[ 2011.03.01 23:13:17 ] Cyberin > sometimes BS (only when we know we can get a fight with them)
[ 2011.03.01 23:13:24 ] Cyberin > roams are generally BC and smaller though
[ 2011.03.01 23:13:51 ] Cyberin > sometimes when we get bored we’ll drop some carriers on idiots being stupid in syndicate for lols

I find the best thing to do, is get the info out there right away…and lay it on thick (actually, in this instance…pretty much all of what I said was true, because that’s the kind of corp he was looking for), but I tailor whatever I say to whatever the Mark is looking for.

[ 2011.03.01 23:14:05 ] DingoGS > nice, what about supplies, im a bit rusty on the map atm, so how do you get supplies in your 0.0 space if yall dont have sov? or its close enough to highsec
[ 2011.03.01 23:14:42 ] Cyberin > it’s about 8 jumps from highsec, and we have a jump freighter pilot and a few carriers for logistics
[ 2011.03.01 23:15:17 ] DingoGS > no ship replacement or anything like right?
[ 2011.03.01 23:15:29 ] DingoGS > so self sustanied pilots
[ 2011.03.01 23:16:00 ] Cyberin > the alliance offers inty and cruiser sized replacement i believe, and on ops the FCs usually tell everyone to give all the loot to people that lose ships
[ 2011.03.01 23:16:17 ] Cyberin > so you are expected to be sulf sustained, but normally you’ll get back something if you die
[ 2011.03.01 23:17:26 ] DingoGS > one last thing, you said you have around 4+ ops a week, however, in normal days where are no official ops going on, do yall have like normal gangs roaming around for fun?
[ 2011.03.01 23:17:44 ] DingoGS > i mean, aside from normal ops, i guess a normal day i can probably find a gang to have fun with?
[ 2011.03.01 23:18:18 ] Cyberin > there are normally people in the alliance roaming around, but we as a corp are actually trying to get some recruits in just for that purpose.

Another very important thing to get out is offering logistics services for their gear.  In this case, this person didn’t actually have much of anything to bring out and needed time later to get stuff ready for movement…so meh on this guy…had to settle with what I got in the end…still better than nothing.

[ 2011.03.01 23:19:31 ] DingoGS > its ratting recommended in yalls system? meaning they are not often roamed by other enemy corps/alliances
[ 2011.03.01 23:20:06 ] DingoGS > im a awake player, but i dont like to play against odds lolz
[ 2011.03.01 23:20:13 ] DingoGS > (im just wondering)
[ 2011.03.01 23:20:32 ] Cyberin > there’s a few systems around here you can rat in yes
[ 2011.03.01 23:20:55 ] Cyberin > sometimes we’ll get some people in our home system that afk just to be annoying, but there’s like 4-5 other systems around here that are normally pretty empty

maybe lies, maybe not…who knows…bleh

[ 2011.03.01 23:22:31 ] DingoGS > okay, well to be honest it sounds really promising to me, however im not gona rush deciding and im gona wait to see what else i get offered with, i will probably make my decision tomorrow, its that cool with you?
[ 2011.03.01 23:23:24 ] Cyberin > yeah, just so you know though, if you do decide, we’ll need a limited API to review (background check) and we have a security deposit that you’ll get back after 4 weeks to insure you don’t steal anything from the corp hangers, etc
[ 2011.03.01 23:23:38 ] Cyberin > which is 150mil (because that’s about what’s in the hangers at all times)
[ 2011.03.01 23:24:38 ] DingoGS > hum, i may have to run some missions b4 joining then lolz, i have to buy my plex to remain playing so i wont have that much just yet
[ 2011.03.01 23:26:14 ] DingoGS > probably gona take me 3-4 days to make that much (probably less but hem)
[ 2011.03.01 23:26:17 ] DingoGS > meh)

have to make sure to get the fact about paying in near the end…that way they are already thinking about joining and it makes it less of a choice for them to make.  Then, when he said he wanted to wait until tomorrow, I had to add in a bit more stuff to make him happy about it hoping he’d choose me over someone else.

[ 2011.03.01 23:26:23 ] Cyberin > lol, alrighty, we might be able to waive the fee or accept items as collateral for the short term, etc, will have to talk to the boss
[ 2011.03.01 23:26:45 ] Cyberin > there’s just so many people corp stealing these days we had to implement it to keep us safe at least
[ 2011.03.01 23:26:52 ] DingoGS > that would be wonderful =p i think i have a scorpion or hurricanes i can use for that lol
[ 2011.03.01 23:27:00 ] DingoGS > haha yeah i know, it have always been like this afaik
[ 2011.03.01 23:27:20 ] DingoGS > its the only game that i know with so much spying and backstabing and moles
[ 2011.03.01 23:27:24 ] DingoGS > but thats what makes it fun
[ 2011.03.01 23:29:05 ] Cyberin > yeah

Notice those last two lines right there?  You’d think with knowing that, he’d be smart enough not to pay to join a corp.  Oh well, more ISK for me.

Fast forward to today:
(I have removed a bunch of small talk from the rest of this chat log just to shorten it a bit, and it’s all not really relevant to anything anyway)

[ 2011.03.02 22:20:53 ] Cyberin > heya, just checking up to see how the corp search is going
[ 2011.03.02 22:21:01 ] DingoGS > hey
[ 2011.03.02 22:22:01 ] DingoGS > i am interested in joiningg
[ 2011.03.02 22:23:21 ] Cyberin > if you are interested in joining, one sec and i’ll get you a link to input your API into so i can review it
[ 2011.03.02 22:24:30 ] Cyberin > one sec and i’ll have that link, i seem to have misplaced it, lol

[ 2011.03.02 22:27:11 ] DingoGS > okay
[ 2011.03.02 22:27:16 ] DingoGS > i inputed it

API stuff (feel free to check him out if you want to, I don’t think he’ll mind )  I usually get a limited API just so it’s not an issue with people not wanting to give full APIs.  I also like to check to see what good stuff they have to steal…though, in order to do that you’d need a full API…just depends on my mood if I want full or not.  I went with limited in this case because I knew he was just coming back and might not have much stuff…so I played it safe.

[ 2011.03.02 22:27:29 ] Cyberin > also, talked to the boss and he said it was cool if you don’t have the isk as the security deposit as long as you have items worth that much to use as collateral for the 4 week stasis period
[ 2011.03.02 22:27:50 ] DingoGS > i can give 100 mill isk and a scorpion for the time being
[ 2011.03.02 22:27:57 ] DingoGS > i will be broke after that tho lolz
[ 2011.03.02 22:28:27 ] Cyberin > alrighty

cha-ching

[ 2011.03.02 22:30:40 ] DingoGS > ty, one question tho
[ 2011.03.02 22:30:47 ] Cyberin > sure
[ 2011.03.02 22:30:56 ] DingoGS > if for any reason i want to leave b4 the 4 week period, will i get my stuff back?
[ 2011.03.02 22:30:59 ] DingoGS > or i will lose it?
[ 2011.03.02 22:31:10 ] DingoGS > (leaving in a proper manner of course)
[ 2011.03.02 22:31:29 ] Cyberin > as long as you don’t steal our stuff yes, you’ll get it back if you leave (after your roles are dropped)
[ 2011.03.02 22:31:50 ] DingoGS > okz and yeah
[ 2011.03.02 22:33:04 ] Cyberin > just gimme a short sec while i finish looking over the API
[ 2011.03.02 22:33:10 ] DingoGS > kk
[ 2011.03.02 22:33:18 ] DingoGS > feel free to ask any question

Of course I will give your stuff back if you decide to leave.  That would require to to be accepted though…which, most likely isn’t gonna happen sad to say.

[ 2011.03.02 22:34:27 ] Cyberin > alrighty, everything looks good if you want to go ahead and send the 100mil and contract scorp and put in an app we’ll get you accepted and in
[ 2011.03.02 22:34:45 ] DingoGS > to you?
[ 2011.03.02 22:35:19 ] Cyberin > you can contract it to me or the corp, either way is fine…I can stick it in the security hangers
[ 2011.03.02 22:35:20 ] DingoGS > i mean, i send the isk & contract to you?
[ 2011.03.02 22:35:27 ] DingoGS > k
[ 2011.03.02 22:36:54 ] DingoGS > done
[ 2011.03.02 22:38:12 ] Cyberin > got it

[ 2011.03.02 22:38:25 ] Cyberin > are you ready to move out here now or did you need time to get your stuff together to move?
[ 2011.03.02 22:38:53 ] DingoGS > ahm, i would need a bit of time to make isk and get me a ratting drake and some BBs to roam with
[ 2011.03.02 22:39:20 ] DingoGS > i just have my missin raven and a cane that its stuck somewhere
[ 2011.03.02 22:39:23 ] Cyberin > you’re API says you have 436,401,326.45 ISK, whatcha need more to buy a drake for, lol

After this there is all kinds of stuff about him needing a plex and asking about ships to train for, etc…it’s way too many lines of boring stuff so I’m not leaving it on this post that’s turning out to be a lot more boring that I thought it would be…but hey…I have pictures!

[ 2011.03.02 22:40:30 ] Cyberin > alrighty, one sec and i’ll get you accepted, once you get your stuff together let us know and we can jump it down for you
[ 2011.03.02 22:45:49 ] Cyberin > ok, well…since you don’t have anything else for me to take, I guess now is a good time to tell you that you should NEVER pay people to join a corp…because it’s ALWAYS a scam
[ 2011.03.02 22:46:05 ] DingoGS > -.-
[ 2011.03.02 22:46:47 ] Cyberin > though, i might be obliged to give it back if you can make a good haiku about being scammed

[ 2011.03.02 22:51:17 ] Cyberin > i just recruited someone yesterday that was on guard, so that’s not entirely true

[ 2011.03.02 22:52:24 ] DingoGS > i took too much humilliation already =/ im not gona give you the pleasure, that i know its just 4 fun

[ 2011.03.02 22:53:57 ] DingoGS > so i guess i lost all my chances to be recruited

[ 2011.03.02 22:54:55 ] Cyberin > but yeah, shot gone…would be rather awkward being in a corp with people you’ve scammed…

[ 2011.03.02 22:55:55 ] Cyberin > good luck finding a corp though, fly smart o/
[ 2011.03.02 22:56:25 ] DingoGS > have fun scamming ppl i guess =/

And done…I tried to see if he was dumb enough to accept the Scorpion back for $100mil…alas, he wizened up though…thanks for the fish Dingo!

A picture’s worth a 100mil ISK and a Scorpion originally appeared on Hands Off, My Loots! on March 2, 2011.

This month’s topic comes to us from @Tetraetc – “Tetra’s EVE Blog” – who asks: “Have Alliances and the sovereignty system limited the amount of PVP and RP potential in Null sec? Imagine a Null Sec where anyone could build outposts wherever. Would the reduction of the alliance game mechanic, and the removal of the sovereignty game mechanics (or the modification of it from Alliance level to Corp level for that matter) force more PVP into Null sec, or would giant power blocs like the NC still form themselves?”

Who cares about Sov? originally appeared on Hands Off, My Loots! on February 28, 2011.

I’m not going to copy and paste the recruitment message, but instead I’ll just mention that I am a recruitment officer for the corp and you can contact either myself, Velocity Prime, or Meccros in game; or join the “Misfit Cafe” channel if you are interested.  You can find details about what type of pilots were are looking for in VPs post over at VelociLogic. (also on EVEO Forums)

And…for those of you curious if this is another of my  recruitment scams…I swear you won’t have to pay anything to join…so that kinda limits the scam possibilities a bit (unless of course you are a spy, then there’s a 100mil ISK fee).

I’ve been busy on my market/hauling alt this week so haven’t gotten much done in the way of funny stuff to post…but I did get a little bored and decided to scam someone out of their corporation shares (they were worthless as he was only worth like 100mil…but meh…boredom).  It’s not really funny at all, but here’s how easy it is to scam people these days.

I found this guy on the EVEO forums while searching for good deals…and this is what it turned into.

Warning…this isn’t funny in anyway, and is probably a pretty boring read…don’t say I didn’t warn you.

[ 2011.02.26 19:25:06 ] Batuka > i have started today and so far i have made 60 million isk but only been doing for a few hours and i only had 100 mill to start with and i have 90 mill in corp wallet buy orders 60 mill in sell orders and 60 mill in corp wallet from profit

Not really much to bother with, but I’ve already started so I might as well finish.

[ 2011.02.26 19:25:47 ] SupaSekritAlt > what are your trading skills like?
[ 2011.02.26 19:26:22 ] Batuka > not very good atm but i am going to train them soon as u see i am a skilled mission/pvp toon but am now trying out trading in a stion
[ 2011.02.26 19:26:52 ] Batuka > i have every trade skill able to be owned in my hanger atm ready to train
[ 2011.02.26 19:26:57 ] Batuka > some already trained

hmm…probably should have lied about that one Batuka…telling potential investors that your skills suck isn’t a very good idea.

[ 2011.02.26 19:27:38 ] SupaSekritAlt > do you have anything to provide as collateral to prevent against scam?  I’ve got tons of isk laying around and have been looking for people to invest in, i’d be willing to do a full 800-900mil, but it’s a pretty big risk with someone new like yourself

Funny enough, this isn’t a lie.  Also, it’s always good to make it seem like you are the one that could be scammed…just makes the whole thing play into your favor just a little bit more.

[ 2011.02.26 19:29:35 ] Batuka > well i do not have anythink to give as colateral exept my reputation if i diddnt have a good reputation i would not have any good uisnes for cheap ships if trading was to fail u would be given your isk back and i would give you your investments
[ 2011.02.26 19:30:01 ] SupaSekritAlt > that’s the point, you don’t have any reputation lol
[ 2011.02.26 19:30:07 ] Batuka > i will be increasing the last 200 shares to 3 mil per share as that way i can control people owning the hsares

When he says this, I’m thinking he’s trying to scam me now.  It’s a good tactic, once someone tells you they are in for X amount, you try and get them in for more.  I was very suspicious…but since I didn’t plan on paying anything anyway…it was a rather moot point.

[ 2011.02.26 19:30:33 ] SupaSekritAlt > would you be willing to send the shares first to insure i get them and don’t get scammed?
[ 2011.02.26 19:30:41 ] Batuka > exactly with youinvesting in me t will gain my reputation and i can get more investors in long term me getting more isk from the market meaning mor eisk for you

My EVE crashes right here…damn game.

[ 2011.02.26 19:33:34 ] SupaSekritAlt > sorry, eve died
[ 2011.02.26 19:33:35 ] Batuka > Batuka  investors wanted http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1474234&page=1
[ 2011.02.26 19:33:46 ] Batuka > Batuka  yes i would be willing to send half you send full ammount of isk i send other half ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:34:24 ] SupaSekritAlt > that doesn’t really keep me from getting scammed, i’d want all the shares up front, then the isk
[ 2011.02.26 19:35:04 ] Batuka > halwell considering if u bought half the shares then i would be at risk of loosing half my corp

Now I’m back to thinking he’s just an idiot and doesn’t know much about corp shares. (50% of shares /= 50% of corp).  Oh, and it’s losing…not loosing…jeez.

[ 2011.02.26 19:36:16 ] SupaSekritAlt > i could give you my limited API key to see that I actually have the cash and such if you’d like first? I’ve got over 18bil in cash right now, and quite a lot more in assets (i’m a trader myself)
[ 2011.02.26 19:36:49 ] Batuka > how about u deposite half the cash then i deposit all shares ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:37:24 ] Batuka > how many shares are you wanting ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:37:28 ] SupaSekritAlt > that doesn’t prevent me from getting scammed either.  Shares are worthless until you get the cash, isk isn’t
[ 2011.02.26 19:37:34 ] SupaSekritAlt > i’ll buy all of them
[ 2011.02.26 19:40:28 ] Batuka > ok so 700 mill for 700 then last 200 i was gona rise to 3 mill a piece would you be ok with that ? just so i can invest more isk

And again with the price raising…

[ 2011.02.26 19:40:50 ] Batuka > i weill transfer the shares first but what is there to say you arnt just going to run of with the shares ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:41:01 ] SupaSekritAlt > what would i do with worthless shares? lol
[ 2011.02.26 19:41:03 ] SupaSekritAlt > and yes, that’s fine
[ 2011.02.26 19:42:03 ] Batuka > 200x 3 = 600 +700 mill isk = 1.3 bill isk kk with that ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:42:17 ] SupaSekritAlt > yeah, that’s fine as long as you make me that 5% a month
[ 2011.02.26 19:43:07 ] Batuka > 5% per month of profit from that month and 15% if left in for 1 year kk ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:43:41 ] SupaSekritAlt > sounds good
[ 2011.02.26 19:43:44 ] Batuka > atm i will give you 800 shares to keep some for me kk ?
[ 2011.02.26 19:44:06 ] Batuka > infact no i will just transfer 900 send me isk for security though
[ 2011.02.26 19:44:44 ] SupaSekritAlt > i’m the one that needs security here, i’m paying you isk, you are giving me worthless stuff.  It’s send all or nothing.
[ 2011.02.26 19:44:59 ] SupaSekritAlt > (though if you want to keep 100 that is fine)

I’m still thinking he’s a scammer with this…he keeps trying to change his deal and get me to send him something (scammer desparation, if you can’t get it all…get something).  But in the end sends me all his shares (I’m still not convinced he’s not trying to scam…because he sent worthless shares trying to get my ISK…I would do the same thing).

[ 2011.02.26 19:45:22 ] Batuka > ok send me isk
[ 2011.02.26 19:45:52 ] SupaSekritAlt > no, thanks for the shares though

After he sent the shares and I said I wasn’t paying he threatened to out me, then said if I give him the shares back he would keep quite, etc.  Went on for about 15 minutes or so while I sat around trying to figure out how to steal his corp from him with the shares.  Turns out after asking in a few channels that I didn’t know how this mechanic worked either…I didn’t know I actually had to be in the corp to start a vote.  So being the nice guy I am (and not wanting this alt burned if I didn’t have to) I gave him the shares back.

Hopefully he doesn’t read my blog

Misfit Toys is Recruiting originally appeared on Hands Off, My Loots! on February 27, 2011.

I usually update my list 3-4 times a month using a very nice tool that everyone should use, whether you like to read blogs, or write them yourself.

Recently, I’ve noticed that some of the blogs I like to read aren’t on it…and I have to re-add them every time I update my list, so I figured I’d put this out there and hope those people read my blog as well and get themselves added.

To get added to this massive EVE Blog list, which I must add is offered by Keith from over at I Am Keith Neilson, just point your browser to this link and fill out the form.  It’s pretty straight forward…then I can add you into my list with minimal effort, and that’s always good for me.

Get on my reader…all of you! originally appeared on Hands Off, My Loots! on February 22, 2011.

Located in Cyberin’s home station, most of these ships are either fit, or waiting to be fit when the currently fit one blows up.  Truthfully, I got a little spendy when I moved out here and I should probably sell quite a few of these since I don’t really fly some of them all the time.  Seriously…who needs 6 Vengeances?…I’ve only flow it once in the past 3 months…

Retribution x 4
Vengeance x 6

As much as I love frigate hulls, I don’t use these two ships much.  Why?  Because I’m not that fond of short range..so the rocket Vengeance is rather meh, and the Retribution only has 1 mid, so I don’t solo in it.  The Retribution is what I normally take out when we go on frigate roam though if we already have an Inty pilot.

Sentinel x 2

Haven’t used them yet as I still need to get the Electronic Attack Ship skill up to lvl 4 for them to be useful, but one of these in a frig gang is always fun.

Drake x 4
Harbinger x 8

I brought the drakes out for shield fleets, but I actually rather prefer my Shield Harbinger fit…so, I don’t use them much.  The Harb is my go-to ship though.  If we are doing an Op and I don’t know what to bring…I’ll most likely be getting in the Harbinger.

Abaddon x 2
Apocalypse
Scorpion

I actually can’t fly any of these yet…the Abaddon’s and Apoc are left over from selling my Cap character recently, and the Scorpion I bought off a corp mate because he loves me and gave me a good price.

Anathema x 3

These are normally used to scout Orcan in when I’m hauling stuff, or when I get bored and decide to go look for a wormhole or something.  They are scan boats…not much else to say.

Arbitrator x 3
Maller x 2

The arbitrator is used for lol fleets (took a shield tanked, only ECM drone version out last night).  Maller is bait…that’s really all it’s good for.

Ashimmu x 3
Omen Navy Issue x 4
Phantasm
Cruor x 2

Must…have…shinies.  The Phantasm is still packaged, waiting to be fit…looking forward to using it because I love my Shield Harb…so I ship that is normally shield tanked and uses laZors sounds like a good deal.  1 of the Nomens is my ratting ship…500dps and can get out of dodge if needed…yes please.  The other ones will be used to get blown up in pvp some day when I get around to it.  And…when isn’t an Ashimmu useful?  <3 Neuts…cruor is there just because it is.  Haven’t actually used it yet because we haven’t had a frig fleet with decent numbers since I got them.

Crucifier x 20
Executioner
Punisher x 20

The Crucifier’s were brought down as a replacement for my Maledictions before I could fly them.  I greatly overestimated the amount of them that I would lose.  I only ever flew one of them…need to sell.  (one of them is a throw away cyno ship, though I normally use a drake for that)  Executioner, i have no clue…don’t remember buying it.  Punishers…haven’t used them yet…but they are here for maybe t1 frig tourneys or just to screw around in.  Might sell those too. (one of these is also a throw away cyno ship)/

Crusader x 5
Malediction x 3

I need to trade out some of those Crusader’s for Malediction’s because I normally fly them in larger fleets.  I’ll keep 1-2 Crusader’s around for small gang work maybe, but I haven’t gotten the urge to go soloing in one…maybe I’ll do that sometime soon.

Hound
Purifier x 4

Cloaky killing shit is fun…’nuff said.

Zealot x 2
Broadsword
Devoter
Curse
Guardian
Scimitar

These are all also left over from selling my cap character (it was boring), need to sell them off as I can’t use them (though, plan on training for Zealots sometime in the next few months, so might keep those and the Curse).

Other Ships not at my home base, or on alts:

Falcon

Orcan doesn’t just fly Orca’s anymore.

Bestower x5
Badger
Noctis
Crane
Bustard
Shuttle x6

Hauling and quick escapes required for living out in Null Sec.  I end up with more bestowers than I need because I buy them on alts to do retarded things like carry a 5K isk module to jita to sell it, and pay 10K isk to contract it to my trade character.

Vigil

You KNOW what that is for.

Primae x 12
Zephyr
Echelon x 12

A little collection, sadly…through all my quiting and starting again, I’ve lost all my snowballs launchers, Zephyrs, interbus shuttles and sadly even a highsec capital or two from back in the day.

Hulk x 2

Useful for my “mining” corps…

Caracal x 2
Punisher
Retriever
Thrasher x 2
Blackbird
Cormorant x 2
Rifter x 4
Buzzard

Random stuff laying around throughout New Eden.

tl;dr: I need to sell a lot of this shit…specially when I realize I’ve got over a Billion worth of ammo in that container, and enough fittings to fit out all these ships 3 times over…and then some…I seem to add extra 0s to the number when I buy fittings…

What’s in my Hanger originally appeared on Hands Off, My Loots! on February 19, 2011.

———-

First and foremost…I am no longer in the Ninjas anymore.  Lots of people already know that, but I never officially mentioned it.  I finally bit the bullet and decided to join up with Velocity Prime and the Misfit Toys in nullsec.  Truthfully, 0.0 was the one thing in EVE I’d never tried, and actually never wanted to because cap fights and lag didn’t sound fun at all.

I’m glad I did though, because my new alliance, Clockwork Pineapple, is awesome…and it’s nothing like the 0.0 I imagined.  There’s always fights…plenty of dumb people…and gives fun scamming possibilities (read my recent post on that if you haven’t already…).  The one thing that’s really cemented it I’d have to say would be Clockwork.  For anyone that doesn’t know about them, they were originally in Goons, and a long while ago split off and became their own Alliance…and as far as I know have no plans to do the Sov Game anytime soon (which is good for me).  So, for those few of you that told me recently I suck because I’m a goon now…you are wrong…I’m a gRoon…sort of…technically I’m a Droog…but whatever.

———-

What else has happened? Lots…

I bought a Cap character to try out, didn’t enjoy it that much and am currently selling him as I write this.  I’m already back up to 5 accounts, though the one with the Cap character will be closed once I sell him off.

Cyb is up to 12.3 Mil SPs (and since I’ve been playing since 2007…I’ve finally decided to stop rerolling since that’s a far cry from what I SHOULD have right now).

My alts are all doing there thing, scouting, trading, hauling, scamming, infiltrating…not much details I can give on all that other than to say once I get this Cap character sold, I’ll be up to a little over 40bil net worth…it’s good being rich again.  For those of you that don’t know…I used to be a very big time trader before I quit EVE last time, and have started getting back into that, running a few investments for TEARS, etc…and will probably be expanding my reach in that field a bit more in the short term future as a way to pay for all the expensive ships I want to get blown up.

———-

I’ve got so many logs from stuff I’ve done since I’ve gotten back, that I’ve decided I’m not going to post anything with them…because looking through 3 months of logs on 5 characters with 5-10 channels open all the time on each results in an amount of effort I am not willing to devote to it.  So, hopefully I’ll start getting some more Tears and retarded people to post about soonish.

———-

What am I going to do with Hands Off, My Loots! since I’m no longer a Ninja?

That’s a good question…and actually the reason I haven’t been posting for so long…trying to figure that out has been a pain.  I want to keep the same humorous/asshattery feel as I’ve always had…but realize I no longer have Ninjaing as a way to get those yummy Tears.

Why don’t you go ninja from time to time, you say?  Well..truthfully, I haven’t had fun doing it in a while…the amount of effort it was taking to find people and get them to shoot just got old on me, so I don’t have any desire to do it in my ‘spare’ time (as if I have any with all my alts doing crap).

As a result, the blog will lose it’s “Only Ninja Stuff” theme and become more of a repository for the general asshattery I get up to these days.  Infiltration, scamming, killing sucky people in Nullsec, etc.  I will try my hardest to get lovely Tears out here in Null (it’s possible), and I’m sure the recruitment channel will bring quite a few drops to the bucket as well.  Though, from time to time, those industrialists out there might even get a nice update on what I’m doing on that side of my accounts…maybe.

———-

And that’s about it for now…though, if anyone has any ideas on stuff they’d like to see me talk about (custom requests, wtf?) or try to accomplish that would result in a funny ass blog post…let me know, I’d love to cater my asshattedness to special projects of interest to readers.

———-

Oh, one last thing…I’m gonna try and get the rest of the Toys to quit slacking…I’ve only been active for 2-3 months and I’m already the alltime killer on the boards…what gives peeps?

In the mean time, I’d like to invite any of you gamblers at a shot at a prize pool of over 12.5 Billion ISK in goodies.

Best part is for two of the prizes you don’t even need to buy any tickets!…so, spread the word if you love me. (and it’s completely 3rd party secured, so as much as I’d like to…it’s not a scam).
