The Loss

I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get *angry* when they lose a cow.

-- (Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett)

A sad day ladies and gentlemen, Interesting Times is dead, without going into too much detail as the loss is gonna piss off Keira as it was originally hers since about 2007, I bit off more than I could chew as a rather juicy trap was sprung.

To be honest, I should have known better, the baits corp and the fact he was hanging on the station should have had the alarm bells ringing.

Anyways, here it is, a very, very expensive loss for me:

Just a few comments from the other side (I wasn't on the KM due to my Guardian running out of drones after this fight - http://tuskers.killmail.org/?a=kill_related&kll_id=8496224)

@ Mabrick: Macheriel tried to bump the bait Proteus off the station when he got scrambled so we only had 60 seconds to kill him. Kane undocked his carrier to try and keep it up but by the time it had undocked the fight was already over.

@ Sard: We had a joint Shadow Cartel/Tuskers roam in that area and picked up a few Gunpoint Diplomacy etc. around Atlar.

Wasn't my carrier.

When your four guardian's appeared it was evident that the eight locals weren't going to do much against what was a very efficient gang. It was too late for my Machariel but the Carrier did allow the rest to de-aggro.

Our initial intel on Tuskers numbers was correct, it wasn't until the kitchen sink landed that it became evident we didn't stand much chance in the fight with what we had active.

By the way, if it doesn't have Rizzel as a surname, it's not mine.

RIP poor Machariel. Also, it is Lncognito with an L . . not that it matters of course :)

Ye I think the combination of Tuskers and Shadow Cartel made it tricky for you to correctly judge our numbers.

Fair play, nice to see Gusandall after hearing so much about it.
