Lots of times when warring against empire corps, they tend to flee to starter systems like Jita and Tash. Of course they also tend to hide in stations which makes the game a bit boring sometimes, but such is our business.
I also noticed that having a negative security status, only -0.2, plus a bounty of 13mil seems to attract a number of oddballs. This is a story about a few of of them.........
So I sit idling outside a station camping a war target. As I sit there, various newbs target me. By newbs I mean characters that are a few days old and probably not someone's alt. About 50% of the time they open fire, which results in them getting Concorded. Then, since they aren't aware of the global countdown they undock and get popped again. It's quite an entertaining show sometimes.
The other thing that happens as a result of the low sec status and bounty is that it makes people start commenting about me in local. Usually it involves calling me names since I am a "uber pirate" in a "n00b" system picking on newbs. I guess they think I destroyed the newbs that fire on me or something so they think I am picking on 2 day old characters. Or, to them, 13mil is a lot of ISK so they make comments like, "Dude, I am so gonna pod your ass if I see you in low sec, but you're a pussy cause you're here in high sec hunting n00bs! ROFLOL!!!1
So one guy starts in with the "Ooooh a 13mil bounty...blah blah blah". I say nothing. He keeps continuing to make comments while orbiting me and targeting me. In between targeting me, he starts trying to goad newbies into fighting him while bragging about damage logs......

Pondering people petitioning peer's playstyles, plus preposterous proposals pending per particular peculiar pilots......
So I add them to my address book and wait for one of our current wars to end. Since Admiral Denzark quit his corp, we had an open spot so guess who is next....but before that, she convoes me and starts bragging. A lot.

The war goes active just as Revelations comes out so by the time I can log in to play, the wars been in effect for a few days already. The CEO evemails me. Their first emails are usually happy and chipper. They laugh the threat of war off like a person swatting away a gnat.
2006.12.01 02:16
are you waiting for me to accept going to war? Because i have no interest in waring with you. So i won't be accepting. GL sitting here with me i have lots of time.
2006.12.01 03:24
that was interesting how much does that cost to go to war?
So I tell her I won't talk unless it's to discuss the surrender fees...
2006.12.01 03:42
naw i am not paying. so enjoy your war with me i have nothing but time and half a billion to play with. enjoy paying for the war.
A lot of CEOs seem to have failed math I think. Initially they balk at a surrender fee. They can always afford it since I am a cheap date I don't really ask for much. Still, they decline figuring it's a waste of money to pay for whatever reason.
Then the war kicks in. First they play the "Haha I ain't afraid of you game". This involves them thinking since I am 15 jumps from the system I met Nexa, she can't find me here, no way, no how! I play my locator agent game and find them and kill them.
Then they switch to the "running man game". They run 15 jumps away. We show up thanks to our friends with locator agents again. We pop and pod them again. Now they're down a good chunk of change to replace mods and insure pods and such.
Then they try the "perma-dock" game. They figure we will get bored sitting in front of a station for hours on end. While it can get a little boring, it does enhance the kill you score in the end. You appreciate it so much more when you've waited 2 hours to get it.
So now they've lost ships, they can't mine, and they can't mission run. Not with a certain degree of safety at least. So at this point between the money they lost, and the money they're losing from not being active puts them between a rock and a hard place of sorts. They can't make money, they can't afford the surrender fee because they took so many loses I don't know how many times I've had people ask to put their surrender fee's on layaway. I've done that a few times and it works ok but I try to steer clear of doing that. We ain't no Wal-Mart(tm).
At this point they go insane. Calling names, threating to have other people come kill us, etc. What I really don't get is they will pay someone money to hunt us, but that ends up costing a whole lot more than the paltry sums I ask. Plus it's no guarantee we won't war dec you again. We never re-dec corps who pay the surrender fee unless they were to commit a hostile action against us.
So this CEO pulls the same routine. "Haha, you won't win, I won't pay, you suck!" etc, etc.... I decide to head out to their corp HQ and find her hiding in a station. She just docked because there were still a few wrecks in several belts along with 50 giant secure containers so I think I just missed her.
She is quite uninformed on how war dec's work. I can't say as I blame her, CCP should have a war tutorial. I wasn't sure what she was talking about when she mentioned "accepting" the war. I was thinking she meant if she refuses to believe it then it wont happen to her. Then I realized from her comments in local that she thought she had to accept the war in game like clicking "OK" in a trade window.
Anyways...I continue waiting and see she has undocked. I wait a minute and do the same. After a quick scan I see them in a belt and warp in. As luck would have it, I land right next to her. They are in a Executioner. I am in an Ishkur. Needless to say, it wasn't pretty what happened to her ship or pod for that matter.
I scoop up her remaining cargo and net about 3mil worth of loot actually. She was using those modulated lasers that are close in performance to the T2 lasers and some nice overdrive mods. That will fund the war for 2 more weeks. Funny how their own demise pays for 14 more days of potential death.
A few minutes later she manages to make her way back to the system and dock. Dang that warp to 0km! :) She starts emailing me asking me questions on the war and things of that nature. As always I inform them there is no time for idle chatter, the only banter that will be entertained will be when they are ready to surrender and pay the fee.
As you can see they are starting to get annoyed with the war already. It's not so funny when you lose a few mil, spend a few mil more to insure a new clone, and have to travel back to your HQ watching over your shoulder. Now you realize people mean business and that war is a mean business indeed.
[2006.12.01 05:08:00 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i will be on my alt fo the next 2 months and i will transfer isk from this char to that char and youc an keep paying the ISK until my petion gets approved and i put a block on your corp
[ 2006.12.01 05:08:17 ] Darkside Moonshadow > thats another factor you can do in this game
Still, she is claiming to have half a billion in the bank, surely she could spare 10% of that for a surrender fee, or sell off a few of those 25mil cargo expanders or something. In the time she's not able to play safely, she could easily make that back and thensome.
I can only imagine what's going through their minds at this point. Sure it's only a game but it can get people frustrated, aggrivated and annoyed, myself included. So I try to think of what I would do in their situation. Personally, even when I camped in a station by a group of war targets I still look at it as a victory for me because I am basically forcing them to be there. Forcing them to police me so in a sense they are still losing money buying ships they might not normally need, and then camping me for hours, so they're not mining or missioning, which means they are losing money in that sense as well.
Still though, you can see the range of emotions coming through her evemails and her comments in local.......
[ 2006.12.02 00:36:51 ] Darkside Moonshadow > hello nexa :)

She is all happy about it. But in reality she is quite annoyed. But pretends to be having fun on her alt.......
[ 2006.12.02 18:15:28 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i was begining to think you dont love me anymore

Notice I can't even get a word in? I don't really bother to either. Still, she is annoyed....because she emailed me and told me she was petitioning me. For what I have no clue.....
I started thinking maybe this is one of Admiral Denzark's supposed 20 character fleet, but her spelling and grammar were much better than his, so it couldn't be him. :) Still, I don't understand what their petition could possibly contain. I would love to read it. That is, if they really did petition. I spoke with a GM when dealing with Admiral Denzark and the GM said he hadn't filed petitions on the last few email threats of him doing so. So who knows if she is serious. I would still love to read that petition. This is what I imagine it was like.......
"Dear Sir and/or Madam,
I would like to petition Nexa Necis for foul play, harassment, griefing, lying, cheating, stealing, killing, and being mean.
I don't know them or what I did to them, but it's totally not fair that they can war dec me without me accepting it. Basically, it's illegal to do that and they're breaking the rules. They called me all sorts of names and said CCP sucked eggs too! I heard they run a slave trade out of China for ISK too. Honest.
They even podded me. I think that I should be reimbursed for those implants as well as my nicely kitted Executioner, along with renumeration for mining time loss. Podding should not be allowed in high sec. I think that it's illegal actually.
Can you help me please? Can you just ban their corp? Or help me fight them? Something! Anything! If you don't help me, I will just end up quitting and then you will lose out because then you won't get my $14.95 a month so then you'll be up the creek without a paddle. You don't want to lose me as a customer. Nexa is costing you money. You should ban her!
I heard they can kill me in a station. Is this true? Will my shield tanked Apoc or my hull tanked Brutix be enough to stop her?! Please help!!!"
I bet people petitioning this type of stuff would make the GM's day. I like to think it gives them a laugh to read about stuff like that. I can imagine them wanting to send back a really sarcastic reply instead of the generic response they might have in a situation like this. I would love to send a response like....
"Dear Whiner, err Darkside,
Thank you for your petition. At this time there is not anything we can do to help you at this point. No rules are being voilated at the moment. However we can give you some free advice. First, stop crying, wipe those tears so you can read this information.....
1. Don't brag to pirate corps how rich you are, especially when you're in a small non-pvp corp. It's like putting a wad of gum next to an ant hill. You will get devoured.
2. Don't make fun of people who war dec you as it will probably make them want to kill you even more.
3. Don't shield tank an Apoc for Pete's sake! Hull tanking FTW!
4. If you can't handle a pro-PVP MMORPG, may we suggest a single player game like Bejweled or perhaps Cakemania if you're feeling especially brave.
5. If you do decide to quit Eve, please take the $14.95 and buy a clue.
Thank you and have a great day!"
Another thing I noticed with the recent war dec's is a lot of people want to apply to our corp. Even though it's says only people 1 year old with pvp experience will be considered, people that are 1 day old apply. It cracks me up. 10 minutes after a war dec email goes out I get 2 or 3 applications. What are the chances? All of them are a few days old at most. All of them claim to be player with 1 account, yet they can afford to send me 15 emails answering all sorts of lame questions I pose and it costs them $100k an email. I don't know many 2 day old players who can rack up 2 mil without having an alt. I mean they convo me literally 10 minutes after they're created.
Then you have some players who are 6 or 8 months old who ask if they can join. I still talk to them even though they don't meet the base requirement. But they can't follow simple directions like send me an email outside of the game with your character selection screenshot, skills screenie, bank screenie and list their play times, ship preference and specialties. What I end up getting is a screenshot of them in a station, with their buddies list open, and a sentence like, "Dude when can we kill ppl?! Hook me up! I am in the USA man!"
If they can't follow some simple directions, then they ain't getting a spot in our corp.
Ah, but I must digress as I am venturing off on a tangent here....Back to the alt applicants. Please don't even bother. If you want info, just ask. I will gladly tell you where I am at or what ship I am in. We have no real corp hangar so there is nothing you can steal either. So don't bother, just convo me and I can tell you what you want to know. :)
So she quits the corp. Apparently her numerous alt accounts are good enough to keep her busy, so she flat out left her corp out to dry and broomed it. Her other corpmates followed suit once I popped them...
Mind you, these are pilots as old as me, claiming to be PVP pilots......
Then their new CEO Ashir'o has various friends contact me to ask me to stop war dec'ing his corp. I say I will as long as he pays the surrender fee, which his friend is unwilling to do. So the war continues. And so does Darkside's insane chatter. Mind you I never answer her so she just keeps going and going......
And going...
Meanwhile I am hunting Ashiro. As usual he laughs off the threat of war even though his corp is almost devoid of players. He also tries to explain why my intentions on keeping the war are completely irrational and I should end it...
2006.12.04 01:13
the loss of isk to start this foolish war over someones stupid bragging of his wealth... and the time you could be doing something else.
Then of course he starts in with veiled threats of some killer corp that will defend him if I show my head in his new home in low sec space......
2006.12.04 01:26
Well I am home for now in ..... Ruchy if you wish to come .... but be careful the owners of this system dont like trouble makers
It looks like Appetite 4 Destruction, A4D, has made Ruchy their home. They are a sort of piratish mercish corp I guess. I will have a separate story for them once I finish up my current wars. I think you will find it quite amusing. :)
I head out to Ruchy and find him docked. I sit around outside, watching local people come and go. He emails me to tell me that he can't afford the 50mil I asked him to surrender the war. Funny, I got a feeling he has that and a whole lot more.
2006.12.04 02:13
I really dont want to fight you guys Dark ask for this fight and I dont have the 50 mil
So he undocks in his Megathron. Yeah, he's poor alright. So my Ishkur isn't really setup to fight a Mega so I leave to swap my ship as a number of people are in front of the station targeting me. As I am traveling to grab my Domi, he emails me to talk a bit of smack...
2006.12.04 02:42
why you run thought you wanted me ? odd
Such is the carebear way. If you gank their hauler with a BS, they cry foul. You pop their frig with your cruiser. They cry unfair. Their Mega pops your AF, then it's a fair fight and you suck for losing. Funny how he wouldn't undock his Mega when he was initially camped by my corpmates BC. So I email him back....
2006.12.04 02:43
Uh huh. That would be lke you fighting with a shuttle earlier. I will try and buy a battleship or BC tonight and see about encountering you next week.
I get back into Ruchy within a few minutes with my Domi in tow and my corpmate in his as well just in case those pesky pirates in A4D tried to jump in. Of course, now he won't undock. So I sit outside in a shuttle waiting for him to agress me. Eventually he undocks and fires. I quickly dock and undock in my Domi.
As soon as I do, he locks and fires. Great, he's flagged and can't redock for a minute. I open fire back of course. By this time, now there 3 or 4 people sitting outside the station watching. All of a sudden some moron in ASCN locks and fires. Poof goes his Crow.
A few seconds later TSU SUM and someone else opened fire as well. One losing a Ferox and the other one I am not sure. So much for a fair fight. Thankfully the sentry guns were on the pirate's side for a change.
Unfortunately my corpmate had technically difficulties and wasn't able to warp in to help in the fight. Thankfully, none was needed.
Gotta love locking a pod and popping it in an unboosted BS. That's like a 12 minute lock time on pods. :)
Well that about did it for Ashiro. He promptly quit his corp. Even though no fees were paid, we still got the job done. One of my favorite additions of the Revelations patch was the fact it shows corps as closed.
Meanwhile after the fight, a few A4D guys start trying to bait my corpmate into fighting them and promising it would be a 1 vs 1. So who would be foolish enough to enage someone, tank sentry fire while fighting a Myrmidon and a T2 Snipathron, especially with another Snipathron cloaked 150km away. One of the funny things with their corp description seems to denounce smack-talk yet they readily engage in it. As I said, keep an eye out for my story on these people. It might turn out to be a good one.
Oh and remember Fire Starter55, one of the smack talkers who brought war upon his corp? He couldn't take the heat either.....
He was part of Omni-Death corp. They sorta lived up to the name as they all died at some point it seemed. :)
So right now we have 2 wars in effect against Omni-Death and Draconian Legacy. We were just war dec'd by A4D, which, as I said, I will write a story on that which should be quite entertaining since they are an interesting bunch indeed.
One last thing. I was flying an alt through Darksides old home, Arera. Guess what? He's still bragging. This time he's caught in his lies as well....
[ 2006.12.07 02:23:39 ] Lestadt > are you corp less atm
[ 2006.12.07 02:24:34 ] Darkside Moonshadow > yes
[ 2006.12.07 02:24:43 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i will ahve to stay that way awhile
[ 2006.12.07 02:24:51 ] Darkside Moonshadow > they will war with anyone i corp with
[ 2006.12.07 02:24:58 ] Darkside Moonshadow > they are that petty
He knows we will follow his lying, bragging, smack-talking ass to wherever he goes in Eve....
[ 2006.12.07 02:25:26 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i have cost them over 100 mil because they wanted to ransome off teh carebear
[ 2006.12.07 02:25:40 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i am carebear with top gear :)
I was just about to leave the system when I saw this. I literally was laughing out loud. How preposterous....
[ 2006.12.07 02:25:49 ] MyAlt > how did you cost them 100mil? it only costs 2mil a week to war dec other corps, 50mil a week to dec an alliance
[ 2006.12.07 02:26:29 ] MyAlt > how did you cost them 100mil though i dont get that part
[ 2006.12.07 02:27:05 ] Darkside Moonshadow > well beliee it or not but when this has blown over your corp was teh one i was going to ask
[ 2006.12.07 02:27:37 ] Darkside Moonshadow > ship with big expensive guns cost money
[ 2006.12.07 02:27:48 ] Darkside Moonshadow > the ship is teh only thing that is insured
[ 2006.12.07 02:28:11 ] MyAlt > im not understanding you. how did you cost them 100million? thats a liot of money. did you blow them all up or someting?
[ 2006.12.07 02:28:18 ] Darkside Moonshadow > you put a 5 million ISk gun on a 50 k ship you only get teh 60 k for the ship
[ 2006.12.07 02:29:04 ] MyAlt > still how did you cost them 100mil>? i would like to do that to pirates. please explain
[ 2006.12.07 02:29:11 ] Darkside Moonshadow > well lets just let this go for now i dont want them in local
[ 2006.12.07 02:29:15 ] Lestadt > in other word a crap t1 ship setup with t2 stuff
[ 2006.12.07 02:29:34 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i ahve a bestower that is cheeap
[ 2006.12.07 02:29:49 ] Darkside Moonshadow > but it has enough gear on it that makes it worth 175 million
[ 2006.12.07 02:30:23 ] MyAlt > still just cause your ships costs a lot doesnt mean you cost them 100mil. sounds phony to me
Once again she's still bragging about the Bestower with all those juicy local hull mods fitted. Somehow I think local hull mods to her mean that she bought 4 expanded cargo holds on the local market......
[ 2006.12.07 02:31:53 ] MyAlt > still i highly doubt you cost them 100mil. sounds like total BS especially since you wont explain it
[ 2006.12.07 02:32:05 ] MyAlt > but you're more than willing to brag about what you got. seems odd
Here's where she shows off her comedic skills, because this is downright laughable....
[ 2006.12.07 02:33:56 ] Darkside Moonshadow > OK this pirate was holding my corp ransom for ISK
[ 2006.12.07 02:34:01 ] Darkside Moonshadow > not a litle but alot (NOTE: IT WAS ONLY 100mil)
[ 2006.12.07 02:34:13 ] Darkside Moonshadow > teh whole point was to make ISK of of a rich miner
[ 2006.12.07 02:34:30 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i didnt want to pay
[ 2006.12.07 02:34:45 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i poped them while they were afk playing 2 accounts
This is too fuckin good!
[ 2006.12.07 02:35:07 ] MyAlt > what ships did you pop?
[ 2006.12.07 02:35:08 ] Darkside Moonshadow > because lets be honest i may have big expesive guns but i have low skills using them
[ 2006.12.07 02:35:46 ] Darkside Moonshadow > 2 elite mimnar frigates and a elite battle cruiser (all were afk outside base)
First off, we never go AFK outside a station with active wars on, second, no one in my corp flies Minmatar AF's as far as I am aware of and no one in my corp flies any elite BC's whatsoever. Complete bullshit on her part obviously....
[ 2006.12.07 02:35:58 ] MyAlt > oh and what were you in?
[ 2006.12.07 02:36:05 ] Darkside Moonshadow > mauler
[ 2006.12.07 02:36:24 ] Darkside Moonshadow > with 5 big guns and 3 heatsinks
[ 2006.12.07 02:36:45 ] Darkside Moonshadow > make tha 2 heat sinks
[ 2006.12.07 02:36:56 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i switch some out
[ 2006.12.07 02:37:12 ] MyAlt > you wouldnt happen to be able to send me the killmails as proof would you?
[ 2006.12.07 02:37:12 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i ahv a destroyer thats my favorite ship
[ 2006.12.07 02:37:25 ] Darkside Moonshadow > do you require them?
[ 2006.12.07 02:37:36 ] MyAlt > id be interested to see what they fit on those kinds of ships
[ 2006.12.07 02:37:38 ] Darkside Moonshadow > or killing afk ship unbelivable
[ 2006.12.07 02:38:04 ] Darkside Moonshadow > i did say they were afk
[ 2006.12.07 02:38:07 ] MyAlt > no i see tons of people afk so thats pretty reasonable
[ 2006.12.07 02:38:13 ] MyAlt > i go afk all the time
[ 2006.12.07 02:39:32 ] MyAlt > ive just started so ive not had any killmails. so i think it would be neat to read one, specially with high end ships.
[ 2006.12.07 02:39:43 ] MyAlt > email them to me. im gonna go afk thoguh :)
[ 2006.12.07 02:39:59 ] Darkside Moonshadow > the whole point to building a strong ship is not having the biggest
[ 2006.12.07 02:40:10 ] Darkside Moonshadow > its having teh skills to protect teh one you can gly
[ 2006.12.07 02:40:14 ] Darkside Moonshadow > err fly
Needless to say she never sent them. She also never sent any of her supposed 29 ore theif killmails to Nexa when I asked her to prove she killed a real player and not just NPCs while ratting. I just couldn't help but laugh.
Next time you're in Domain, stop by Arera and listen to her local banter. It's provided me and my corp quite a bit of laughter.18 Comments

Maybe I should try to apply to TRAPS someday :)
Hi Freeky, I enjoy your stories because you appear to have some morals when carrying out your work. I am a noob and in a noob corp that helps new players get aquainted with eve but we have just been war dec'd for the second time in my 2 month old characters existance by experienced players who are more like 2 years old(flying tech 2 ships and command ships etc). Now I think it is low picking on a corp of players most being 1 or 2 months old. There are about 3 more experienced players about 10 months old in our corp who are the folk who offer advice and run missions etc. They also have no intent in fighting other corps because they are happy sitting in stations running things in there for a living. So when we are war dec'd the noobs split up and go like 18 jumps from each other and do things individually keeping an eye on local and if anyone comes after us we run away somewhere else - our corp would never pay a randsom because they think you can't trust anyone in eve. e.g. they might take the money and pass your corps details onto their alt or pals who then war dec you to get more money and it's also about the principle of it. People will often be stubborn and not give in. I and the other noobs can only afford a cruiser and now possibly BC at best so we are not on the same level as our enemy but when has war ever been fair? ;o) I am keeping a note of all these people who have picked on us and plan to join or create a corp at some point who will give some love back to such people that smacktalk or be an arse in general(seems to be quite a few I have came across so far as you have told us about in your stories). I am inspired to be pirate with morals and prey on the immoral and I like your stories because you appear to have a similar intention.
P.S. - don't steal ore from the noobs that's just bullying. Macro miners and more experienced players, yes. However all rules go out the window when they are an arse and directly have a go at you. My definition of a noob is someone less than 2 months old. Note I'm almost graduating from my noob definition! :o) (but still have shed loads to learn)
Great Laugh.. I am a n00b according to Anonymous, but still, I would like to think i have most sense than Darkside Moonshadow.
Very nice story enjoyed every last bit keep up the good work ;)
This is awesome! I love the complete insanity that make up some players. Comedy GOLD!
Freaky, this was great; I can’t tell you enough how much interest I had in this entry. I loved from start to finish. This new fool of a player in EVE is the biggest god darn liar I have ever heard of, it sounds like her corp. is quiet crummy too.
I think this is your longest entry ever freaky, well done.
"If I had a million ISK every time someone threatened to war dec me and didn't follow through, I'd have enough to buy 2243 shuttles or so."
So - given a price of 7K pr. shuttle, you have been threathened 16 times :P
Great story though. As always - highly entertaining.

I never said we don't lose. I mentioned 2 of those kills in one of my responses.
Next time, try posting on your main char. :)
Never said what said that I said that you said, etc. Tad defensive, I see.
Oh yeah and :-)
I love when they talk smack anonymously. Yeah me and another got over confident and got blowed up. Oh well it happens. But, we don't smack talk. Bait maybe but never smack talk.
"Never said what said that I said that you said, etc. Tad defensive, I see."
The non net name for guys like this is "telephone tough guy". They talk big when they think they are safe and kiss yer rear when their big talk lands em in trouble. Post with your game name if ya wanna smack talk or don't post at all. Sheesh.
"Will my shield tanked Apoc or my hull tanked Brutix be enough to stop her?! Please help!!!" - classic :D
Nice story aswell Nexa. It's hard work being a pirate sometimes, and not just because of all that blowing shit up you have to do. I mean, I talk some utter crap when I'm drunk admittedly, but Dark's inane waffle made me feel like an amateur... Surprised you didn't need therapy after listening to it all, hehe
"Destroyed: Arbitrator...
Ship: Brutix"
Anon, I don't see how this is such a source of pride. All of these kills have you in a bc and the other player in some smaller ship. I think (not wanting to speak for him) that this is the kind of thing Nexa is talking about- Youc aren't an uber pwner for getting in a big ship and killing a smaller one. But props to the arbi pilot!
Some of you might remember one of my recent stories about the Dark Horse Mining corp and several of their smack talking members. You can refresh yourself on that story here.
I noticed they both joined the same corp, Subach-Tech. I dropped a line to the
Man, I love your tales of crybabies and the changes you put them through. Keep 'em coming!
Freaky, This is an excellent story.I spend most of my time down in lo sec to avoid situations like this. As a PVP carebear with over 9mil in PVP skills I still would not want to see you in 0.4. War decs in empire still give me chills. Good on you to keep it that way. That is what the game is about. Smack gives me the s**ts and Dark can really carry on, can't she?
I aspire to be a pirate but can't shake thecarebear mindset. I admire you guys.
Lots of fun = No ISK.
Congrats.
Chaat.
Have to say your friend Darkside is a complete whore. Told us a story on team speak how he took on a gang of soldiers and killed them with a 3 inch knife jet li style because they tried to mug him for beer money. Also keeps bragging non stop about the people he kills. But I don't feel sorry for you having to put up with his smack in local, you can swap systems I always have him in corp chat :(
