A small misjudgement...

All dwarfs are by nature dutiful, serious, literate, obedient and thoughtful people whose only minor failing is a tendency, after one drink, to rush at enemies screaming "Arrrrrrgh!" and axing their legs off at the knee.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)


And a rather expensive loss.

I tried to engage a Gnosis and a Hurricane with my Sleipnir, I had a Hurricane and Gila in support, but the Gnosis' tank was unbelievable, hero reps just as we thought we broke him, but the combined fire-power of two battlcruisers and sentries was enough to relieve me of The Fifth Elephant, my long serving Sleipnir. They also killed the Gila and Hurricane o_0

In hindsight we should have switched primary to the Hurricane but c'est la vie.

I'm feeling rather sheepish after this loss :(

Surprise Surprise

In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies) 


This is now the Official You've got RED on you alliance them tune



A fairly uneventful day, not even any good plexes to hunt in, the area just didn't have any life in it. I had gone out for a movie and when I got back there was reports in an intel channel of a Legion and Loki in a safespot near planet 4 in Gusandall.

An associate on her way back from nullsec was passing through and dropped probes, her usual spread of 5, normally sufficient to probe damn near everything down, but recently there seems to have been a glitch with some of her cyber implants not working properly, she has put in for leave to get them looked at and is waiting to hear back from the developers of the implants.

She narrows down both ships but can't get a clean hit, no matter what she does to the formation, but then she drops two more probes and forms Volt... uhm, I mean a diamond formation and narrows the hit down even more, she eventually has to tighten the group up almost all on top of each other before she gets the 100% hit.

She warps in and reports both vessels immobile, ripe for the violencing.

I undock in The Fifthe Elephant, because well, I'm a little short on appropriate firepower, have to wait for Keira to authorize a shopping trip, but the Sleipnir would do.

I warp to our associates spot and land right on top of the Strategic Cruisers, Legion first, it evaporates, I lock its escape pod whilst switching tackle to the Loki, the Legion pod goes squish, and then the Loki explodes, followed shortly by its escape pod.

Loot is scooped and I head back to the station. Minutes later, one of the pilots opens convo with me:

Kane Rizzel > sup
Ako Izumi > how in the fuck did u kill my ships
Kane Rizzel > well
Kane Rizzel > you see
Kane Rizzel > there's this thing called space
Kane Rizzel > it's rather big
Kane Rizzel > and these two ships were loitering in it
Kane Rizzel > blatantly on scan and everything
Ako Izumi > in a fucking safe
Kane Rizzel > so a friend dropped some probes
Kane Rizzel > and probed them out
Kane Rizzel > poor fellas never stood a chance
Ako Izumi > thats bullshit they are unscanable
Kane Rizzel > quite clearly they are not
Kane Rizzel > might you have activated your cloaks, then maybe
Ako Izumi > u can make ships unscanable according to ccp
Kane Rizzel > you might want to check that
Kane Rizzel > cause that all changed a while ago
Ako Izumi > if ur sensor strength is higher then your sig
Kane Rizzel > mate
Kane Rizzel > maaaate
Ako Izumi > i mad
Kane Rizzel > yeah
Kane Rizzel > it happens to me too
Ako Izumi > yea shits stupid, its hard to keep up with all these gay patches
Ako Izumi > well reship and fly on i guess lol
Kane Rizzel > it did take a max skill character with full virtue set and a spread of seven probes but everything is probe-able
Kane Rizzel > good luck and fly safe



New Star Trek is good by the way :D

Failure Too

If it wasn't for the fun and money, I really don't know why I'd bother.

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


One of my esteemed associates had probed the Evannater area shortly after lunch today and notified me of a Loki about to run a site, I grabbed the most appropriate ship for just such a venture, the mighty Caracal.

I'm a fan of the Caracal, after its systems updates and to be very honest I thought it would be perfect for the task, as I have in the past managed kills against Loki's using her.

Unfortunately I was wrong, the Loki pilot was competent, the plex rats were ruthless in switching to me and my little Caracal failed

Failing

-- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!) 



Rens Fight Club has not taken off, one or two recruits who are active but not actually dueling as I expected, as such the idea and concept is a failure.

Am I surprised? No, not really, not everybody is like me, not everyone can make their own game play, unfortunately I can't commit the time to run a corp and actively recruit.
Am I disappointed? Most definitely.

I will however not give up on Midnight, or his exploits on the undock of Rens Brutor Tribe Bureau, Rens Fight Club will continue, but once again as a solo project. I will also allow those that wish to stay, stay, and maybe we shall gain one or two recruits, one never knows but there are no roles in Rens Fight Club and with future updates you can quit a corp immediately anyways.

Bounties are useless mate, killrights too, I'm -10, people can try kill me whenever, they don't need your sad killrights and bounty because you lost a shit fit drake and poor mans implants. Next time save your isk and fit your ships better and buy a clue.
