Insults, and 1reasonwhy.

2012-11-30T00:48:00.001-05:00

So, you're in an online game, and someone starts yelling about how something is 'gay'.

Why do they do this? It is not because they are homophobic (most likely) but because they probably don't have another adjective at the ready.

I've been fomenting ways to help fix the situation. We need a script of sorts, of appropriate language. And a script of canned responses to casual sexism...or racism..or other ism.

So what are your favorite gender free, non homophobic, non racist insults?

Some of mine, that I borrow from my Father liberally:

'Jack Wagon'
'Ignorant Spitoon'
'Doorknob'

The whole 'shit' suite is okay. (Shit head, shit disturber)

'Sharp as a bowling ball'
'Odd like a spherical cow'
'Irrational like pi'

So what are some of yours?

EDIT: From my wife 'coprophagic belching donkey'

I used to be #1reasonwhy

This blog post isn't going to be EvE related, so if you're just interested in shenannigans, you are going to have to wait a bit more.

The title says it all. I used to be part of the problem. I'm getting better tho.

A bit of history. I've been doing games for about eighteen years now. And I used to be part of the problem. I wasn't a groper or a creeper. I didn't pre-judge my female co-workers (The few of them that I had). But at the workplace we were rough on each other with insults. Artists were 'bitches' if they complained. I'd casually toss out phrases like "You've got sand in your vag." or "Go choke on a bag of dicks.". And the ever present terms 'pussy' and 'fag' or comparisons to something that is 'gay'.

You get the idea. And I worked on some really good games, that had some *very* bad stereotypes.

Outlaw Golf, Outlaw Volleyball, Outlaw Tennis. Solid games, solid gameplay, serious stereotype overload. I assuage myself a bit now by telling myself the games are parody based and are over the top like that on purpose. (For those of you not familiar...There are some screen images available.)

And then I got married. And then I had kids. Couple of girls. And I realized that these two girls, and my wife, were being lessened by my insults and by my attitude. Comparisons to people to bad female stereotypes in a demeaning fashion demeans the entire group. And that goes for any other stereotype that is based on orientation, race, religion or gender.

So I'm trying to be better, and trying to be part of the solution by calling it out. The casual homophobia, misogyny, racism that peppers the language.

It doesn't take much for any of you reading this. To curb your own language. To *think* about what you say before it drops out of your mouth. And listen to what others are saying and call them out on the casual misogyny and homophobia.

It doesn't take much to stop being part of the problem, and to start being part of the solution. I'm most certainly not perfect. But I am trying. Not for my sake, but for my kids sake. Because I help to form the world they will grow up in. And you do too.

Why aren't there more women in the gaming industry? Because of people like I used to be. When will there be more women in the gaming industry? It will take years, and it will just take all of us to stop and think, and a bit of personal courage to call folks out on their behavior.

Blog Banter: Home

2012-08-30T03:03:00.000-04:00

Home is...complicated.

For the past few years, my home in EvE has been everywhere. Wherever there was can mining, I would be there.

Where there were stupid people doing plexes in 0.0 with an obvious wartarget or at least a neutral in local. I was there.

Was I terribly effective? Heck no. There's only so much time I could devote to my pass time of punishing the stupid. Did I make someone's day bad..Yes. But I always made myself as much at home as was possible. A cache of ships as near as I could get. Probes, a hauler, various tools of punishment. My inventory list is awesome. Enough combat and hauling to start a megacorporation. Over 250 stations with a pvp capable ship and a hauler. Over 90% of empire covered and visited at least once.

Home was everywhere. And then I went into retirement. And I've anchored myself to a new 'home'.

It isn't a bad home. I've already found neighbors who don't like me and are also stupid so they are easy to take advantage of. I can mission and mine. I've even got corpmates now who mission and mine, and we've done it together. For the first time in a long while (Probably since home was Dodixie, and Suddenly Ninjas was young and being bothersome) I've got folks of like minds to do something with on a continuing basis.

And that my friends, is where home is really. I suppose Home is where you can fulfill your purpose. Be it a doggerel scoundrel existence or something more puritanical. Your home is where you can *do* that thing. Is your thing tilting at windmills? Taking over deep space? Being a foot soldier? A scammer? Your home is where you can *do* that, in your own space and time. Log in, do your thing, get closer towards your goal in your own place. You may be sharing with 2000 people (Looking at you Jita Scammers and Traders right here) or 20 people (My new home) But, it is *yours* because that is where you can fulfill your needs, the *why* of your eve existence.

Hm..the stuffing's been kicked out here and there.

2012-08-24T14:40:00.001-04:00

Well, it looks like the recent war with the goons have gone and pretty well wrecked the snot out of the Honda Accord and the Tadakastu-Obata Corporation. Seeing as all that's been logging in lately have been six people...

WHICH MEANS IT IS TIME TO RECRUIT!

Do you need somewhere to relax with other vets and folks who are so new they squeak?

Do you feel the need to go and blow someone up (even your corpmates) in brand new pre-fit rifters? (Coming soon as part of our pvp 'get used to dying' training regimen.)

Bantam Ball Tournament (Coming Soon as part of our situational awareness training regimen with PRIZES!)

Mining ops with equal splits and Orca Support until you get into your own barge/exhumer! (Yes,that's right, come on down in your mining cruiser..there's room!)

Be Big, Be STRONG, Be SHINY. Tada-O!

http://space-llamas.net for our official site. Our in-game channel is TADA-O. Come on in and have a warm cup of SHINY!

The IEEE Rides into the sunset.

2012-08-16T13:54:00.000-04:00

There are no more standards to properly enforce. The arrival of the new mining barges and exhumers have put a nail into the can mining coffin. And it is pretty well gone for good.

It takes the most new of the new about a week to get into a Retriever. And they don't bother with cans any more. They either have an orca or just shuttle back and fort to station now.

Without folks mining into cans and being generally bad mining operators, the IEEE no longer has a way to make the meager income required to stock the photocopier with paper, the coffee maker with coffee, and pay the Gallente secretary.

So with a heavy heart, I have mothballed the IEEE.

I was expecting the crimewatch changes to be the actual final nail, but it is the lack of folks operating their corporations so badly as to be noticed.

It has been a while coming. The IEEE will be out there, holding its name and ticker and a storage place for the stories. But the heart and soul behind it are gone.

Your intrepid Chief Librarian is going into semi retirement (aka: Going Full Bear(tm)) and have joined up with an industrial alliance. Currently at war with goons and others. And will be pulling the bears (kicking and screaming if need be) into some semblance of being able to work together and spit in the goons' eyes instead of hunkering down and turtling.

I don't expect that any thing we do will actually effect the goons as a whole, but you never know.

The blog will be updated as fun things happen. Or as I figure out this 'Production' thing I keep hearing about (I'll finish PE 5 at some point)

A return of the itty of doom.

2012-08-06T15:01:00.004-04:00

I'm in empire for a while, quite possibly a long while due to helping a few friends of mine, which involves an awful lot of down time unfortunately. And what does an IEEE agent do when faced with nothing else to do? He goes out and looks for miners mining against the book.

The iteron is just as I remembered it being the last time I took it out. Stately and slow. Still loaded and waiting for the return of its pilot. They have an incredible cpu capacity, greater than most battleships, but nothing on the hull usually requires anything even remotely that powerful. The current iteration is an armor tanker. Ever since webs stopped working very well and nosferatu changed, the shield versions have become interesting but ultimately less capable.

Unfortunately everyone mining is doing so in approved manners. Orca pilots riding herd or solo miners flying off when their holds were filled. But then I ran across some wreckage. Some unfortunate pilot has been ganked. His retreiver wreck sitting full next to a thrasher wreck colored blue. Putting two and two together, I picture what happened. A low skilled pilot toiling away with his barge, and someone just wandered up and suicide ganked him.

I light up the burner and see what is left in the wreck. Taking everything as another retreiver wanders in. Oh goodness it is the unfortunate pilot who just lost his retreiver. And a thrasher shows up. The same pilot who ganked him. And I'm waiting for the flash and desperately trying to target both of them. While the cpu is great in an iteron, the sensors are unmitigated pieces of crap.

But the thrasher yellow boxes me, and the retreiver flies off. How odd... I hear the tell-tale sound of a scanner go off...I think the thrasher might be scratching his head when the retreiver pilot shows back up. In a thorax. I take a look, and see at least three different gun types, at least two rails, and one thing that isn't a hybrid at all and decide that it should be do-able. Willing the sensors to lock faster, I start looking like I'm running away.

I'm waiting for the thorax to lock me up, and it isn't happening. No yellow box. I almost give up on him when the love taps arrive. Ungrouped 200mm rails and a light 250mm artillery pieces? And way out of range neutron blasters. I turn the itty around, mash the burners, he's out of tackle range but I can charge him..at a stately 350m/sec. Damage signals going off as the thin shields on the iteron evaporate and the deck twitches as the blasters get their range. But now he's in my range and targetting actually comes online. Cranking up the blaster I flip a couple small armor repairers on and the secret weapon against all hybrid boats, the energy neutralizer. I can smell smoke from the iterons electronics. Duct taped modifications on the hull making the reppers work extra hard, and the capacitor feed lines have that arcid smell of over use. Especially when the small cap boosters are pumping out twice their normal output to keep things going. The navy boosters are great but play hell with everything. Prayer is involved when shunting this much power through every system in what is essentially a converted hauler, but things seem to be holding together. The trip through the shield is taking forever because it is hardened and boosting? Everything is quiet in local. Just the gentle noise of my blaster, and the larger noises of his blasters and rails and projectiles and drones. Until all but one of his guns goes silent. Capped out. The pilot disconnects, helpless. The crackling ozone smell that the energy neutralizer always sends streaming through the access ways adding further strain to the capacitor feeds. I start playing games staggering my reps to try and stop swallowing the navy cap boosters.

Finally...http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=17153320 (Or, just for EnderCapitalG: http://ieee.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=14246280)

The pod e-warps off. The thrasher having stayed the whole time to watch. And suddenly the thrasher goes red as he tries to volley the iteron of doom. It hurt worse than anything the thorax came up with and being unsure of possible friends I kick all three reppers up, slamming the overheat and dump both cap boosters at once. Going from half armor to full in practically no time. Willing the lock to come through before concord arrives to at least get on the kill report. But no dice.

I collect everything and wander off. The station nearby offering expensive repairs for all the overheated and damaged modules. There being no point in offering assistance in local or a pointer to the IEEE sites for a disconnected pilot. And somewhat pleased with the iteron again. It has been a very long time since I pulled it out of the hangar. And as I pulled it in, I knew it would sit there waiting for me again to take it on a crusade against the stupid.

Anatomy of a scam, or how to talk to a goon about joining.

Anatomy of a scam, or how to talk to a goon about joining.

So, as some of you know. I'm actually shutting the IEEE down. It is taking its sweet time to figure out where to go. I was going to join the Honda Accord, due to some of you (you know who you are) actually reccomending them as they wouldn't fold over a revenge dec over my presence.

This has involved joining up with the accord as a defender. Flying out to Delve and VFK, and shooting at stuff that I think I can kill, and variously getting blown up due to bad decisions, good traps, or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

(Note, I hold no illusions that I'm actually making a difference. Except to possibly sharpen up some goons and to provide teachable moments to others. More or less, if you got killed by me, you did something incredibly stupid. If you killed me, I did something incredibly stupid.)

But during the weeks (and I've been at this for weeks) I've had many...er..interesting offers spewed in local:

mookkc > fuck me... I flew my branch archon here
Zedrik Cayne > Not even with Mittani's dick.

Bagu Oskold > Zedrik, you leaving soon? I want to rat.
Zoinker Cadelanne > How long has he been camping the system today?
Zedrik Cayne > I just got in from groceries...it shas been 7 hours or so.
Zoinker Cadelanne > You should let us know when you're afk! It's the polite thing to do.
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, but then you could tell the difference between me afk and me just not replying in local so I can kill one of you.
Zoinker Cadelanne > Why do you hate us?
Zedrik Cayne > I don't hate you. But you are in the way of what I wanted to do.

Hotlips Va-jay-jay > Yah, Zedrik Cayne is already infamous in highsec. He like a long lost brother of the goons
Zedrik Cayne > I frame my activities in a different light. I'm not out to ruin *your* game. I'm out to teach you not to be dumb.

doyilooki > Zedrik Cayne could you link me your blog please?
Mara Tessidar > while you're at it can I have your babies
Syndicatecyborg > wtf ?
SmashTech > I, too, would enjoy siring your children
Aldric Sauveterre > ... he has a blog?
SmashTech > Everyone who's anyone has a blog, Aldric.
doyilooki > it is what i have heard, I am looking for it and i do not seem to be able to find it
Aldric Sauveterre > Having an EVE blog: http://imgur.com/DGnyR
Zedrik Cayne > http://lmgtfy.com/?q=zedrik+cayne&l=1
SmashTech > what is google
Mara Tessidar > I heard it was some kind of porn site
Aldric Sauveterre > Oh look he's clever too

But, then something comes across in one of the honda accord's public channels:

Scooter McCabe > well if you can sneak around and check out VFK and youd like to join up one day let me know
Zedrik Cayne > I just left there...And what's up with everyone trying to recruit me?
Zedrik Cayne > Aside from the obvious 500 miil scams.
Scooter McCabe > Well Nal will tell you I was trying to set up an event where after checking us out honda accord members were welcome to join on an open recruitment day
Zedrik Cayne > I know..I was actually here when you were offering.
Zedrik Cayne > But that didn't actually answer the question.
Nalera > I'm curious about that, too. I've heard all kinds of people say they've had recruitment offers from Goonswarm
Psykotic Fox > Interesting, then again why would GSF event bother eh
Scooter McCabe > Yeah here is the deal
Scooter McCabe > Issler shot her mouth off about how Honda had a better culture one time and Mittens basically tapped me and a couple others to give open offers to you guys
Zedrik Cayne > I see.
Scooter McCabe > Honestly we knew you wouldnt go for it or Issler would just clamp down on you but it would serve to make a point and embarass her for making such a wild claim
Scooter McCabe > So the offer stands and Issler by my sources has not be exactly active
Scooter McCabe > at least with her main any way
Psykotic Fox > She's been busy in RL with some stuff is all
Zedrik Cayne > Okay, I'm probably going to regret this.. See you in about 24 hours Scooter :)
Scooter McCabe > Cool man
Zedrik Cayne > Might as well give this a shot.
Scooter McCabe > okay time to talk

Now, I'm at least as smart as the next guy, and having done my research know this is probably a scam attempt. But hell, why not give it a shot? If it goes well...I'm in goonswarm. If not, no skin off my nose. And who knows? Maybe being in goons is as good as it is purported to be.
*Ding* Private Convo:

Zedrik Cayne > I'll be needing a reference code.
Zedrik Cayne > (Was digging around the wiki earlier today)
Scooter McCabe > Well here is the thing you are not Honda Accord, I just looked.
Zedrik Cayne > Well dur...I have been trying to join up with them but being unable to because of war etc.
Scooter McCabe > Second lets skip the silly shit if you give me your full api I can check it from there and get you in.
Zedrik Cayne > You want new or old style?
Scooter McCabe > Then you can hang out in Tada-o as living proof
Scooter McCabe > new style full api
Zedrik Cayne > No worries.
Zedrik Cayne > kk
Zedrik Cayne > 505749
Zedrik Cayne > EJXL3NFrAhv0sMIAaz7owOPPR5vEs1g7rdgOqsQU9mTufFdFcRgVcLzVz0bKew41
Scooter McCabe > okay give me a minute to check it out
Zedrik Cayne > *tapdance....*
Scooter McCabe > looking good so far
Scooter McCabe > yeah your clean
Scooter McCabe > Okay couple of things
Zedrik Cayne > Pfft...I'm clean as the driven slush.

I've actually got a relatively clean background. I go take a look at the api logs. Nothing terribly surprising, unless a full asset check is surprising for joining a corp. Red flag #2 (Red flag #1 is I'm talking to someone about joining goons..but the original story sounded relativley legit.)

Scooter McCabe > First you are going to need to apply to Sundering and you will need to register your api stuff for our forums and comms
Scooter McCabe > you also need to keep your full api full at all times
Scooter McCabe > otherwise you will get purged
Scooter McCabe > fair enough?
Zedrik Cayne > No problem.
Zedrik Cayne > I can apply now, but I've got about 22 hours of stasis left,.
Scooter McCabe > thats fine
Scooter McCabe > i can wait
Scooter McCabe > Okay Sundering does indy and pvp right now our big project is rolling up the Zydrine market

Right, here is where folks get lazy. Things seem to be going well, they say 'Hey, you look like good material' And then give you some 'inside information'. No real details, but you are now one of us so that we can let you in on this *great deal*. Like all good con-games, it is all about a good story.

Zedrik Cayne > Hm...24 hours of stasis..apparently doing the resign thing doesn't work while you're in space.
Scooter McCabe > do you have roles?
Zedrik Cayne > I was ceo.
Zedrik Cayne > Er..still am..
Scooter McCabe > Well wait
Zedrik Cayne > Hang on..docking.
Scooter McCabe > dont do anything
Scooter McCabe > Okay yeah you do need to dock and do this
Scooter McCabe > Right so about the Zydrine market if you want in its on your own dime and you sell when we sell so we can make the projected 400% profit

And again, dishing out the 'Hey, cool thing!'

Scooter McCabe > Next thing are you near Jita
Zedrik Cayne > With 3 bil, that's not making a dent in any market.
Scooter McCabe > no but when its alliance wide it does
Zedrik Cayne > And no...I'm about 13 jumps out.
Scooter McCabe > You near a trade hub
Scooter McCabe > because I dont think you want to jump all your stuff up here one thing at a time

Yeah, if you are near a market hub, we can haul all your stuff. Let's just shut that avenue down.

Zedrik Cayne > I'll be buying there.
Zedrik Cayne > Or flying it in.
Scooter McCabe > Cool
Scooter McCabe > If you need a jump freighter I got one you can use if you have the skills

See? Look, I'll trust you with a jump freighter! You're so damn cool.

Zedrik Cayne > I can fly all four.
Zedrik Cayne > But you should know this by now.

He never actually checked my skills.

Zedrik Cayne > I tend to spread stuff around the universe a lot.
Scooter McCabe > fair enough
Scooter McCabe > after you get up here and fly around a bit we are doing an optional Titan Fund so we can start elevatoring people around and if you want we can set you up with a production pos
Scooter McCabe > Now I think since you are CEO you can just straight up quit and avoid the 24 hours of fun
Zedrik Cayne > Er...no. The corporation is meant to live. I'm parking it on an alt.
Scooter McCabe > Ah
Zedrik Cayne > Otherwise I'd have torn it down weeks ago :P
Scooter McCabe > no it makes sense
Zedrik Cayne > At any rate. Where do you want/need me?
Scooter McCabe > Okay get your stuff taken care of hang out in Jita
Scooter McCabe > In 24 hours time contact me back and I will place you within Goons
Scooter McCabe > welcome
Zedrik Cayne > Thanks..I think.
Scooter McCabe > No worries
Scooter McCabe > no one is going to ask you to give money or ships so you are cool
Scooter McCabe > It may be a little disorienting because of all the wonderful stories you hear about us but this is part of the project
Scooter McCabe > plus I fully expect you to share with the rest of the people over at Honda Accord that this is bona fide after you are in
Zedrik Cayne > Good lord. I've been logged into game over 2 years total time.

I'm busy poking my own api stuff so I can segment out the queries he has made vs mine or vs battleclinic or eve-kill.

Zedrik Cayne > Nah, I think I get it actually.
Zedrik Cayne > Me and some goons have long chats about it.
Zedrik Cayne > Goons don't trust the 'other'
Zedrik Cayne > Other being, anyone not a goon.
Scooter McCabe > you definately get it then
Scooter McCabe > i think you will fit in good
Zedrik Cayne > Everyone else is...'Ramen'
Zedrik Cayne > 'definitely' by the way...pet peeve.
Scooter McCabe > sorry
Zedrik Cayne > No worries, you didn't know,
Scooter McCabe > well i will keep it mind for the future
Zedrik Cayne > Did you read the blog by the way?
Scooter McCabe > which one
Scooter McCabe > Mittens blog, EVE 24 News or the Dev blogs?
Zedrik Cayne > Heh..you're not remembering our previous conversation where you said I needed to write something to join up.
Zedrik Cayne > And I pointed you at my blog.
Zedrik Cayne > At any rate, we should probably get the other bits and pieces re: authentication forums etc done.
Scooter McCabe > Yeah i assume you know which site to go to
Zedrik Cayne > Yes, but I'm going to need...oh damnit I was just looking at it earlier. A reccomendation code.
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, a 'sponsorship' code.
Zedrik Cayne > That's the ticket.
Scooter McCabe > You looking on Remedial's wiki or the new one
Zedrik Cayne > https://wiki.goonfleet.com/Joining_GoonWaffe_101
Zedrik Cayne > Linked off the main page. :)
Scooter McCabe > Good the other one just links off to a dead page
Scooter McCabe > 8bcd446a0b16227
Scooter McCabe > Thats will work
Zedrik Cayne > Thank you.
Zedrik Cayne > And the wiki says I should be clicking the top one. But I'm not applying to goonwaffe. Is that just a bad muff on the page or are the other bits just broken to hell.
Scooter McCabe > And Dont Forget its for SUNDERING or very bad things...
Scooter McCabe > yeah that
Zedrik Cayne > As I know by reading all this junk it is probably duct tape and bailing wire php on the back end and I don't wanna break it.
Zedrik Cayne > So click on the second [ I DO NOT have an account I am registering under a Member Corp or I am an Ally ]
Scooter McCabe > http://www.goonfleet.net/?action=apply

And zzzt. Notice I've been linking off of goonfleet.com...and our friend here has linked goonfleet.net. goonfleet.net is a honeypot. Made to look good, like you've been really accepted and things are cool.

We eventually run into the wall with respect to goonfleet.com. It won't let anything go any further until I get into an allied corporation. And we shoot the shit for another hour or two. Always banking back to the offers. No real details about any of them.

And that is a 'scam' conversation from a goon in a nutshell. Good luck trying to join goonfleet if that is what you are trying to do. But follow https://wiki.goonfleet.com/Joining_GoonWaffe_101

If you are not, you're probably being lied to. But that is okay. That is part of the game.

Grand Theft Navy Apoc

2012-05-02T03:45:00.000-04:00

So I'm busy bopping around. Whee! When I find this:

Holy mother of god...I screenie it and link it in a few channels, sitting in the belt with the abomination. When I get a private conversation:

Johnathan Rambo > state your intentions please
Zedrik Cayne > How could you?
Zedrik Cayne > How...
Johnathan Rambo > what?
Zedrik Cayne > Could you.
Zedrik Cayne > Aren't the screams from the ship burning your brain?
Johnathan Rambo > convert a battleship? boredom and money
Johnathan Rambo > state your intentions please

And..he drops a can. He can't possibly..No...way...I burn over there. Double checking. He's got 8 mining lazers by the looks of it by visual inspection.

Johnathan Rambo > Zedrick please keep your distance
Zedrik Cayne > You're not seriously can mining in that...

And I take the whole can. Wasn't much in there. He pops out...Fed Navy Hammerheads and Warrior I's.

Johnathan Rambo > you poor bastard

And, I'm aggroed...Lock the poor guy up. And start the long...long process.

Johnathan Rambo > alright i gave what do you want
Johnathan Rambo > dude come on
Johnathan Rambo > what do you want just let me live man
Zedrik Cayne > 400 mil..and the scram comes off.
Zedrik Cayne > And you never...ever...ever...mine in that again.
Johnathan Rambo > alright i can promise the mining thing just stop firing, and all i ahve is 49 mil on hand
Johnathan Rambo > and i wont come after you afterwards
Johnathan Rambo > or send anyone after you
Zedrik Cayne > You don't have the isk to send someone after me.
Johnathan Rambo > i know just ket me live bro you made your point
Johnathan Rambo > i will give you the isk i have
Zedrik Cayne > I don't think you properly realize the level of epic involved with this kill.
Johnathan Rambo > dude please
Johnathan Rambo > come on man

He lights up in local:

Johnathan Rambo > someone please help me i am under attack please
Johnathan Rambo > anyone?

Back in our private conversation:

Zedrik Cayne > Offering 100 mil in local?
Zedrik Cayne > Where you get the extra cash from?
Johnathan Rambo > stuff i can sell in my base
Johnathan Rambo > dude please let me live
Johnathan Rambo > come on man all i have on me is 49 mil just take it and leave

And in local:

Johnathan Rambo > someone help me please 100 million to save me
GreatSaltedOne > 100m to save you?
Johnathan Rambo > yes i am under attack and have no weapons
Zedrik Cayne > He doesn't have the cash.
Zedrik Cayne > Otherwise he would have paid the ransom.
GreatSaltedOne > ransom? wtf did you get yourself into

Let me just leave this here:

And this:

And..wtf he ejected?!?!?!??!

Leave my ship behind, get this back into station and come back to get the itty...Oh look..He's in a mach! (If he had come in much closer to me..I'd have given it a shot)

And lets cart it off to Jita!

Someone go buy it!

EDIT: The very next night...http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16310295 Lost the mach to a wolf. If only he had landed closer...

Grand theft orca.

2012-01-29T09:02:00.000-05:00

I've always wanted an orca. Just for moving stuff around. And for thieving ice. So I trained up for it.

Yesterday, I got my wish. I Foud a war tareget (corp recently bailed on BDEAL) playing nursemaid to a binch of mackinaws.

This would not do...Fortunately he was at 0 to the ice belt....scram the thing and open a conversation. I don't get a reply until I actually sicc drones on him tho.

Zedrik Cayne > You eject..that pod stays intact.
Drenwulf Crendraven > say what?
Drenwulf Crendraven > doint understand
Zedrik Cayne > Eject.
Zedrik Cayne > Or I squash the pod once you are dead.
Zedrik Cayne > Hope you don't have any expensive implants.
Drenwulf Crendraven > any way to negotiate>
Zedrik Cayne > You are at half shield.
Zedrik Cayne > I suggest you hurry.

And...wonder of wonders...he ejects. I leave the pod alone, he has just put 500 mil in my pocket...oops...almost 600 mil, it is rigged) *yay* Board ship...scoop my arbitrator..Crap..stuff in the cargohold that is not ammo. Let's just get the prize home. (Ever more important since the session timer changes...swapping ships takes much much less time)

Zedrik Cayne > Warp off.
Zedrik Cayne > Have a nice day.
Zedrik Cayne > Thank you very much.

There's already ice in the hold...a full can next to it. Not a bad haul for the day.

So, the war so far has been isk well spent. Faction cruiser blueprint and an orca. Couple lessons for me in how nullsec works, and a couple lessons for carebears in untanked haulers.

I don't know what to say.

2012-01-27T10:19:00.001-05:00

I don't follow many things. Too much time spent in game and messing around. Not enough time reading stuff out there. But @CCP_Diagoras posted something up about him getting an award. So I went and took a look.

But before I hit bottom, it turns out that someone out there actually reads this stuff too. I got the Free Boot for Blog Series of the Year. In the same category as the likes of http://jestertrek.blogspot.com/ Who won Blogger of the year.

Thank you very much.

Are 0.0 alliance ratters so rich that they don't loot/salvage? Luckily YES!

2012-01-22T11:42:00.000-05:00

Whoever...or whatever...is using carriers to clear sites in bdeal space does not check the wrecks....at all.

I was checking the dscan and watching wrecks show up when a bs sized shadow rat shows up. A quick probe scan and dscan later...I'm in the wreck field and waiting for the cleanup. As wrecks start to dissapear, I actually check the spiffy wreck.

Vigilant blueprint...ka ching! Well, time to go afk for hours and hours. And change systems once...and...hey, is that a hauler just sitting on a gate?

I punch up the dscan to see what there is to see...and he's not renamed his new ship after fitting...this aught to at the very least make his alliance mates chuckle.

Let's see how the rest of my time out here goes.

New war, same idiotic behaviors.

2012-01-18T08:05:00.000-05:00

War like this never really changes.

So, I log on. Run a cursory locate on the CEO, only thing happening on the watch list. Yup..Iges. So I go on about my regular business when I get a private conversation:

Zedrik Cayne > Hiding out in Iges are we?
Sutairn > where are you hiding
Zedrik Cayne > Locator agents...you should know about them by now. I suggest you go find one you can use.
Sutairn > come out and play
Sutairn > I didn't think you would hide
Zedrik Cayne > I actually have better things to do than go and chase down one guy.
Sutairn > your a 2006 toon come on man
Zedrik Cayne > Can flipping comes to mind.
Sutairn > try something new 1v1
Zedrik Cayne > If you are in a fair fight, you are doing something wrong.
Sutairn > you have 2 members
Sutairn > I told you what my corp did
Sutairn > I had 47 member I am don to 20
Zedrik Cayne > Yup..in about four hours I'll be at war with that.

Okay, let's see where he is at now...Tolle...Not too far away. Grab an arbitrator and head on over.

Sutairn > they all merged with the brozs
Sutairn > with what you didn't put a wardec on an alliance who lives in foutain that would just be silly
Zedrik Cayne > Heh...I saw several members in highsec as I was wandering around.
Sutairn > you actually put a wardec with an alliance who is part of the CFC
Sutairn > no way your not that stupid
Sutairn > you said yourself your not stupid
Zedrik Cayne > And besides, it will give the entire command chain a wake up call...and wonder why the hell they are getting dec'd.
Sutairn > do you know what the CFC is
Sutairn > goons test FA ...
Zedrik Cayne > And do you think that they are going to at all care about wardeccing a single guy?
Sutairn > politics are crazy man is why I didn't want to put my corp in and just merged I wanted to stay out of it
Sutairn > those guys are off their rockers role playing
Zedrik Cayne > Exactly..guys like me are a pain in the ass..
Sutairn > I don't know what will happen if you did that will be fun to find out
Sutairn > but I think it will take over my little fun I wanted to have a shame I was looking forward to it

And, sit within d-scan of the station.

Zedrik Cayne > While we were talking I located you. You can undock at any point.
Sutairn > okay hold on still fitting my ship
Zedrik Cayne > 'Hey, where you hiding..I was expecting more...oh wait...I need to fit my ship.'
Zedrik Cayne > A drake..heh.

He's either overtanked, or properly pvp fit. One way and we're stalemated...the other and I've got a decent shot at killing it. Warp in while we're chatting.

Sutairn > yes is a fine ship
Sutairn > your an amarr pilot I didn't expect that
Sutairn > I have no launchers yet
Sutairn > but didn't want to diappoint you
Zedrik Cayne > Seriously overtanked drake.
Sutairn > those are jut your drones put some guns on me
Sutairn > if I wanted over tanked I would go a passive shield tanks mrym
Sutairn > you ot a microphone yet
Sutairn > you lpay BF3
Sutairn > how about supreme commander
Zedrik Cayne > Scuse me a moment.

Wife aggro and kid aggro...

Sutairn > don't you have something with a little more dps
Zedrik Cayne > You're the one who declared war, not me.
Sutairn > we built a wall
Sutairn > this movie we boght a zoo is great

Head over to Dodixie...Naga plus blasters. Guns in two groups.

Sutairn > welcome back
Sutairn > Naga really
Sutairn > you have a wide range of ship skills
Sutairn > tornado amarr cruiser
Sutairn > naga
Sutairn > must have the gallente aswell
Zedrik Cayne > You haven't even done a cursory intel check?
Zedrik Cayne > But it looks like I don't quite have enough dps for that tank.

Come on...aggress...I don't have the dps to break your tank...right? Right?

Sutairn > no you need 600dps
Sutairn > never seen a naga at use
Zedrik Cayne > It is my first one.
Sutairn > you mind linking your fit
Zedrik Cayne > Of course I do.
Sutairn > come on we are friends
Zedrik Cayne > Scuse me again.
Sutairn > hurry back this ime
Sutairn > time
Sutairn > try a hyperion
Sutairn > or abaddon

At this point. It is dinner and kids bed..so by the time I get back he's left the conversation. But wait..there are a couple more guys online...who have *not* left corp.

http://ieee.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12165884

Sutairn > hello
Zedrik Cayne > You should really inform your guys that are still left.
Zedrik Cayne > That I am still wandering around.
Sutairn > you kill someone
Zedrik Cayne > http://ieee.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12165884
Sutairn > nno one is suppose to be left my corp except me if is slow to leave
Zedrik Cayne > He didn't say anything in corp?
Zedrik Cayne > You have at least three guys on right now.
Sutairn > no he is someone's brother doesn't have a mic
Sutairn > I actually do have 3 besdies me
Sutairn > I have never had the problem of having members not leave the coro and being to active
Zedrik Cayne > Brb..stuipd closed vote/no applicable actions bug.

And no, it isn't the bug where the vote won't show up unless you relog. It is the human bug where one forgets to vote for war...start another vote..

And find guy #2:

http://ieee.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12166432

Looks like they are both mission running during war. Not smart. Oh well, my vote for the league should be ready now. I'll hit the war this evening. As for now I'm invading fountain slowly.

The new guys have it backwards...I think.

2012-01-15T23:06:00.002-05:00

So, my targets have moved. They went to the Jaschercis. I hit local, warp in, bookmark some cans...warp out and come back with a hauler. And start stealing.

My mail blinks...war declared! (And here I thought they had forgotten about me) So I get a private conversation:

Zedrik Cayne > Ah, I was wondering if you were going to be all talk.
Zedrik Cayne > I had my own dec prepped already in case you tried to ignore your threats.
Sutairn > my corpis merging into the brozs part of the important spaceship people I am staying nehind won't be going to fountain I look forward to our little fun that is to come
Zedrik Cayne > Well, with war declared you aren't merging anywhere.
Sutairn > the guy you talked to so much last night long stroker check him he already has
Sutairn > the name of the corp is no just my active members
Zedrik Cayne > An, so you are saying stroker is just a windbag?
Sutairn > no stroker is a great member
Zedrik Cayne > The whole 'we are legion' was just crap?
Zedrik Cayne > That's pretty priceless.
Sutairn > all my god member and my main will go to the crp he is at
Sutairn > good
Sutairn > it is just going to be you and me my friend

Yes, you read it right... they declare war while they bail on the corp. (Isn't that backwards?)

Zedrik Cayne > I'm not your friend buddy.
Zedrik Cayne > Afk for feeding children. Can't wait.
Sutairn > I am not your friend yet we play a game together and tell me about your home life
Sutairn > I am confused
Sutairn > I think social protocal would suggest I am your friend
Zedrik Cayne > Nah, just telling you that I am not ignoring you. But I'm a bit busy.
Zedrik Cayne > (and PS: The schtick goes 'I am not your friend buddy...' 'I am not your buddy pal....' 'I am not your pal friend.....')
Sutairn > I like it.
Sutairn > so where are you from
Sutairn > do you have any kind of coms
Sutairn > or can you join voice
Sutairn > I really hate typing
Zedrik Cayne > Heh...I don't do voice. I catch mucho wife aggro for it.

And I go afk for a while...and decided to wander back in much later. There is a pod, a wreck of a mackinaw.

Zedrik Cayne > What happened to yetixstomp?
Zedrik Cayne > (Genuine question...I'm setup for a gank myself. But I didn't do him.
Sutairn > that dumb ass let himelf get killed by rats
Zedrik Cayne > *facepalm*

So, I wait some more...go buy a new Tornado, fit it up..group the guns...fly back...

[ 2012.01.16 03:18:13 ] (combat) Your 1400mm Gallium Cannon hits Mudo Daccord [FPCOT](Mackinaw), doing 329.1 damage.

Huh? What? Single gun..not a group. I don't even have all the guns on my control panel..they are all grouped under F1.

So, I fail a suicide gank (petition filed for the bug...don't think they will reimburse a ship I was going to lose anyhow)

Watch your gun grouping folks!

Is this thing still on? The IEEE gets dec'd for reals!

2012-01-14T16:56:00.000-05:00

So I've headed back to Tolle. Since the ice interdiction has lifted it has gotten busy. Full of miners with bad habits.

There's a nice group of three, couple cans...FLIPPIN TIME! To which I get a nice private conversation:

Sutairn > Hows it going
Zedrik Cayne > Yes?
Zedrik Cayne > Profitably, how is your evening?
Sutairn > yes to be a question to you what is it you are assuming
Sutairn > you seem to have the question around here
Sutairn > might you be interested in finding the answer
Zedrik Cayne > Well, I should have said 'Yes' Before you asked how it was going. But that's immaterial.
Sutairn > Words most of the time are, well here are my questions are you in it for the profit or a fight?
Zedrik Cayne > Oh, I'm in it for the learning.
Zedrik Cayne > Or at least your learning. What have we learned this evening so far?
Sutairn > well people don;t mine like I just was so I wouldn't waste your time thinking your going to find others doing that
Zedrik Cayne > Funny..there were three folks in belt mining into cans.. Unusual.
Sutairn > next if it is profit you seek you might want to go somewhere you can catch big fish instead of 325K blocks of ice
Sutairn > go kill some rats in low sec their drops will be worth this much or more and weigh a lot less
Sutairn > Merco
Sutairn > go give it a try
Zedrik Cayne > Losec placid? That hellhole?
Sutairn > dear god it is paradise compared to tolle
Sutairn > try providence or cloud ring null
Sutairn > you will love placid after that
Zedrik Cayne > If you are going to suggest 'rat low sec' at least suggest some blood raider territory for better drops and salvage.
Sutairn > if you mean to say you know what your talking about you just enjoy griefing
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, but it isn't grief. I make my money, you remember a valuable lesson about mining.
Zedrik Cayne > It is a win win situation.
Zedrik Cayne > If I really wanted to grieve. I would have just wiped your mining vessels off of the belt.
Sutairn > well I have no grief I just feel your a littl boy who needs to be fixed cause he has been hurt in the past
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, a qualified psychotherapist are we?
Sutairn > well I only get paid to work with the MR population
Zedrik Cayne > They are the ones who really need it. The lack of diversity in PVE content is depressing.
Zedrik Cayne > Enough to drive anyone insane.
Sutairn > so why such a small corp why not join a group of pirates wh knows what they are doing
Zedrik Cayne > As a qualified psychotherapist, you should be able to figure that one out yourself by applying the various stereotypes.
Sutairn > most of the time it isn't for me to figure out
Zedrik Cayne > You're the one who asked the question.
Sutairn > the questions are asked so the person can look into the mirror and adress the issue of their life aloud
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, so you are trying to 'help' me.
Sutairn > Okay well you know most of the toons in belts like this are bots and only real people who take the time to mine mine as i was so why not try and pick on the bots in the game and leave the real peope alone
Sutairn > you would be a hero amoung pirates and miners then
Zedrik Cayne > Oh, the bots use the cans as well.
Zedrik Cayne > Significantly easier on the management even with an orca.
Zedrik Cayne > The schtick is to find them when they are operating in that mode.
Zedrik Cayne > The ones who don't get noted for hulkageddon.
Sutairn > People in EVE should unit against CCP and end things such as this hulkageddon you speak of only used to help CCP earn more real $$$.
Sutairn > you think about it makes me wonder what jew was behind WWII
Zedrik Cayne > You have an objection to CCP making money?
Sutairn > are you jewish
Sutairn > if so I have wasted my time
Zedrik Cayne > No, but it wouldn't matter.
Sutairn > okay well was fun last attempt was an humor
Sutairn > I can see nothing is gett through to you
Zedrik Cayne > You've not tried to make a point.
Zedrik Cayne > Other than to tell me how to play the game.
Sutairn > what relgion are you
Sutairn > I have no point
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, bored then talking to me?
Sutairn > want to come to Iges with me?
Sutairn > we can stop taklking and make this a little more physical
Zedrik Cayne > How about Ruerrotta instead? More of a neutral lowsec.
Sutairn > explain
Sutairn > whats neutral about it
Zedrik Cayne > It isn't connected to your home base.
Zedrik Cayne > You linked that already.
Sutairn > well for that to be true you would hv needed to tell me where your homebase is
Zedrik Cayne > But it is relativley close.
Zedrik Cayne > I used to stomp the area five years ago.
Sutairn > upi skipped a couple steps in tht convo
Zedrik Cayne > It is a lowsec that getting friends of yours into would be more difficult than Iges for example. It is quiet this time of night, unless someone is pulling technitium from the moon there.
Sutairn > wait a sec the system you linked has a tech moon
Sutairn > a low sec system
Sutairn > got to call bull shit on that one
Zedrik Cayne > One moment...
Zedrik Cayne > http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Ruerrotta/moons
Sutairn > 1 ice field and a tech moon
Zedrik Cayne > With thick blue ice. Used to mine there a long..long time ago.
Zedrik Cayne > There are three ice fields in that constellation.
Sutairn > you aren't a liar I am sorry
Sutairn > womever owns that system makes a killing
Zedrik Cayne > The nominal 'owners' dont' own that moon.
Sutairn > shame
Zedrik Cayne > It is controlled by whichever of the big alliances rolls over it.
Zedrik Cayne > Last time I rolled through there it was razor.
Sutairn > we use to be friends with razor in providence
Zedrik Cayne > I was KOS in providence, see? We have something in common. I've not been back in two years tho.
Zedrik Cayne > It is a good day when I can steal ice faster than I can mine it. It hasn't been this busy since before the goons did the ice interdiction.

The whole while I'm busy carting off the blue blocks for sale. 325k indeed for a blue cube. The ice interdiction has made this much more profitable than it was previously.

I keep up with these gentlemen for a couple days. Their CEO appears in a Dramael but he doesn't seem to have tackle (and I wasn't in the iteron of doom at the time..grumble)

I went afk in the belt in a helios. And noticed upon coming back to the PC that they had a new pilot in local. Flying a Nemesis. But they were no longer mining into cans, so it didn't really matter. Until the next day:

In the meantime. I haven't had a chance to try out one of those new tier three battlecruisers. So I nip off to buy one. Seeing my newest victim in a Hyperion. I figure he's mad.

I get back, brand spanking new Tornado...full of 1400mm goodness...It would seem they are very effective.

Zedrik Cayne > Oh my. That is my old stomping grounds out there.
Long Stroker > well you wont have to go far we will be right here looking for u
Long Stroker > =)
Long Stroker > come flip a can so we can start this thing now
Long Stroker > ill come flip one of your cans if ou like
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, you see...you assume I am dumb.
Long Stroker > ill flip your can i dont mind taking agresson
Long Stroker > you can run to station any time lol
Long Stroker > your gona be in that station alot
Long Stroker > i hope you get adjusted to it
Long Stroker > you knpw they have a ship spinner counter now
Zedrik Cayne > Ah, but you assume you can keep me in. Or dictate the terms of ship to ship battle.
Long Stroker > i assume no such thing
Long Stroker > anything can happen in war
Zedrik Cayne > Long Stroker > your gona be in that station alot
Long Stroker > lol
Long Stroker > i hope u dont disapoint me
Zedrik Cayne > Who are you now, my mother?
Long Stroker > nop your dady
Zedrik Cayne > My father was always dissapointed in me. Maybe you are my father.
Zedrik Cayne > You do know, by the way, that all elite PVP players have the rat damage types in their bio....
Long Stroker > nope they dont, but people who run level 4s and 5s do. its a good little chart to have when fitting fora mission.
Long Stroker > i dont claim to be an expert, but im no coward. and a can sence alot of bitch in you
Mauddib77 > you guys sound like a married couple
Long Stroker > go put a containier out so i can flip it bro
Long Stroker > give you the right to shoot me so you can run and hide
Zedrik Cayne > I can shoot you or your buddies any time I please, as long as I am willing to deal with the consequences.
Zedrik Cayne > By the way, your corporate URL is broken.

So, for a change, the IEEE has gotten dec'd. At the same time, I should probably start a vote just in case theirs doesn't happen or something.

Be careful on the internet kids...

2011-08-12T13:31:00.000-04:00

Or else someone just *might* notice you.

Those of you who follow this blog, know about Socratic.

I have been pasting the link to the video whenever Socratic claims I am lying about having sent him to lowsec. (No really juicy chatlogs yet...But something is indeed brewing.)

But it looks like someone very familiar left a message on the vid: (Click for all replies on the vid)

Sounds familiar...

I'm baaaaaack.

2011-08-01T16:45:00.000-04:00

And I can't find any other game out there that lets me play the way I want to play.

It has been a month. I gave a bunch of stuff a try. Perpetuum is the next best alternative but it isn't ready for what I like to do. I'll be keeping subbed there and waiting, skilling up and figuring it out. But for now. I'm also going back to EvE.

It kind of galls me inside a bit. But I haven't found an alternative to our lovely sandbox. That, and I read this. And I realized I was doing the same thing. And that I feel the same way.

Game's back on folks. Ready to roll.

2011-07-04T08:20:00.000-04:00

New online home for now: Perpetuum.

Picture EvE Beta.. That's about what you have.

Not enough of a population for a real emergent market. (check)
Bugs squirming out from time to time (check)
Client crashes once or twice a day (check)

What it does have: Devs...live in game... Although I didn't get my personal 'hi' (I think they are rather stunned at the moment by the number of folks jumping ship)

I managed to get my name in there too...so say 'Hi' if you seen me.

My reaction to the Recent CCP/CSM Dev blog. Broken Dreams.

2011-07-02T16:16:00.000-04:00

For those of you living under a rock. DEV BLOG

For the rest of you following this. I'm still not going back. For I have a Broken Dream.

I'll tell you, that I work in the games industry. For one of the large, evil empires. And that I'd seriously discussed with the wife about pulling up stakes and going to work for CCP even researching what it would take to emmigrate to Iceland if that is what it took. That is how much I believed in the dream.

The whole affair, starting with the 'fearless' leak, shook my belief in the dream apart completely.

Never, have I seen in any internal communication, or heck, even in jest, seen the attitudes expressed towards the clients. Maybe I'm at the wrong level of management and I don't get to see that. I don't know. But not even in the trenches are attitudes like that expressed.

It actually hurt dammit. I more than once cried a bit as I gave up my stuff in game, cancelled the sub...and left. Not knowing where I was going, just knowing that the dream was broken.

And that's really what it is...a Dream Broken. I don't think I can get it back. I've even uninstalled EvE.

Sure, no MT for non vanity items. There it is...set in stone...along with the promise of no MT at all.

The fund of trust is all gone, the dream is broken.

Need help from the Jita Spammers.

2011-06-23T15:53:00.000-04:00

I'm pretty sure this has occured to the Jita Contract spammers already. But I can't get to the game at the moment (Pesky work).

So, just an idea. #monocle #contracts... I think the scammers/spammers can take it from there.

They want to break our game? Imagine the horror, loud and volumnous, when the pretty aurum items are lifted by cleverly crafted contracts.

Oh, and for the search engines: EvE Online, Monocle, Monocle Gate, Leak.

August 16.

2011-06-22T21:36:00.000-04:00

Well folks..it has been a fun ride.

Socratic might have been right about something. He may out-last me in EvE.

Yup...I actually pushed the button.

It has been a hell of a ride. And unless something takes a sharp turn, August 16 will be the last day for me in EvE. Which means this blog will probably get a title change when I find something else to play.

The stories will stay here. The IEEE will be staying with me, and no, you can't have my stuff. (Not that there is that much of it.) You never know if the EvE that I know and love will be back.

The locator agent tool will stay up as long as justaddhippopotamus.com stays up. Or until CCP makes me take it down because I won't buy their license.

I spent enough time looking at the cancel button. It was hard. Hopefully, enough folks do the same and CCP realizes that they've done some real damage to themselves willingly.

I was looking forward to WoD. I helped with the Shared Universe one year. More as a glorified taxi driver for the man who ran Ottawa's branch of it. (For those who don't know...it was a multi-city shared universe LARP based on the Laws of the Night that White Wolf put out)

But. I can't stomach it anymore. Maybe once I've washed this awful taste out of my mouth with another game.

Socratic Files... Socratic in lowsec.

Socratic > never bought never sold
Socratic > ccp are corporate crooks
Socratic > where I get my isk is a mystery to you
Agent Areli > Not really.
Socratic > you are not smart enough to figure it out
Socratic > yes really
Zedrik Cayne > If he doesn't buy plex..the most likely situation is he's laundering isk for one of the big RMT consortiums.
Agent Areli > Sells isk online and skims a lil here and there. =)
Socratic > that's what you want to believe
Socratic > too bad it's not the truth
Agent Areli > Enough to buy a new gila now and then, ya know, a shiny new hull/tanked navy mega...that one btw is just priceless man. Really shows the depths of your intelligence.

Socratic > I don't need friends

Agent Areli > lol the score card is how much isk you have lost, and apparently you would be the worst golfer of us all since in this game a negative score isn't "winning"
Socratic > I have the most isk
Socratic > how I spend it is my business
Socratic > to me ships are like socks

Zo5o > if he's smart, he can raise his sec status by just flying around in a covops, taking potshots at battleship rats every 20 minutes, and raise his sec back up without ever being decloaked and vulnerable for more than a few seconds
Zo5o > wait

Tech Killa > How'd you guys get him to drop his sec?
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > archer is one of the best shows on tv
Zo5o > on the grounds that what you guys did was "griefing without possibility of profit"
Zo5o > which IS against the eula...
Morin Blain > we looked at it from every angle and we are sure we used only normal game mechanics
Morin Blain > and mind fucks are considered game mechanics

So Crappy > also, he was a wartarget
Morin Blain > of his own free choice
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > he had the opportunity to NOT turn on smartbombs in hisec
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > noone made him do that, he clicked the buttons mate
Talon Zann > getting rid of Soc is "profit" imo
So Crappy > and he clicked away the warning
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > ^^
Morin Blain > and he witnessed boston bradley's smartbomb incident just last week
So Crappy > saying "ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKTARD TO SB IN HIGHSEC?!"
Zo5o > yeah, I'm not saying ccp SHOULD reset his sec status
So Crappy > and he clicked "YES, I FUCKING AM!"
Zo5o > I totally agree that it was his own damn fault, and hilarious.
Tech Killa > lmfao
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > and technically
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > this is basically subcontracting
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > on the original contract zedrik cayne took on
Talon Zann > yeah
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > which means it IS profit
Morin Blain > we were just practising fleetwarps
So Crappy > ^lol
Talon Zann > doesnt soc have some time bought in a few weeks?
Zo5o > if ccp wants to preserve this game as having hisec be "safer, not safe," they'll tell him it was his own damn fault.
Morin Blain > i chose a random B< from my list So Crappy > i still don't get why i dont get killrights for a podkill..
Morin Blain > *BM
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > btw
Morin Blain > scared the crap out of me

Tech Killa > lmfao that sucks testicles
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > so it was a FOR PROFIT operation
Talon Zann > well, thank god hes gone
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > as I paid ingame legal tender
Tech Killa > I kinda miss him. :(
Zedrik Cayne > And boy...did I take a profit..Soc paid me more to leave him alone, than Skwis actually paid me :)
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > or as you may be more familiar with it, ISK
Zedrik Cayne > Fortunately, someone thought of that and part of the original contract was to soak Soc for as much isk as I could.
Talon Zann > yeah he gave u 500 mil that time
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > and I must say I am PLEASED AS CHRISTMAS PUNCH with zedrik's service
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > prompt, effective, and well documented
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > I will recommend his services forever :)
Xenofarion > http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=13502613 <-- retriever + cane kill socratic's dramiel Zo5o > soc loses dramiels to rifters all the time lol
VunterSlash > soc loses all the time lol
Zo5o > he likes to fight 200/400 plated rifters up close in his minimally tanked dramiels
Xenofarion > but..but he learned to orbit @ 500 and shoot in the tutorial
Xenofarion > can't be wrong
Talon Zann > lol
NightmareJacK EL > why there's tons of cargo's refering to soc?
Morin Blain > soc is no more

Drinoch > it's no big deal
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > yes

Morin Blain > he lacks the isk for 50 gila's
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > he isnt out losing gila's to me, for starters
So Crappy > I DONT KNOW, I'M MAD!
Drinoch > hell i'm confused
Talon Zann > So Crappy-The answer is, it is impossible for anyone to be as obnoxious, annoying, and generally like an ass as much as Socratic could be. Nice try, but you can't do it, sorry.
Drinoch > the only way he could have possibly gone down that far was he kept shooting people
Talon Zann > he smartbombed a fuck ton of pods
Morin Blain > he smartbombed a dozen pods
Drinoch > holy shit really?
Morin Blain > yes
SkwisgaarSkwigelf > yes
