Oh, you didn't expect me to take GCC?

Instead of going to bed like a good girl, I spent some time ratting and playing with FRAPS. Hopefully I'll have something to put up. I have some concepts...

Anyway, there I was buzzing around minding my business ratting when the only other person in system undocks in a Rupture. There is only one belt in the system, I'm at it, and I'm in a Jag. A quick look at him shows that he is a 4 year old toon. My estimates of it being a complete fail rupture are somewhat low. I'm the cautious type.

So I book out of system. My home system is next door anyway. I need to go to bed, badly. I therefore, check the belts around my home. Then the rupture jumps in system and so does a thrasher. Hmm. I go and hang out at the POS for a bit and scan them. They are looking for me it seems. The Thrasher is about 2 months old. The Rupture the same guy from next door. They don't know I'm home. The thrasher leaves system but an Incursus comes in. I decide to move to a better dscan spot and go visit a pounce I have over one of the gates.

The Incursus lands on the gate. He sits there. I stare at him. Rupture is still in system. Then, he decides to start moving away from the gate.

To me, it smells of bait. I take a deep breath and it still smells of bait. So, I roll back to the POS. I then change my route and head to the station where I land 20k off of the Incursus. How interesting.

I dock.

I switch into a Hurricane. Both are still in system.

I undock.

Rupture and Incursus sitting off the station. The Rupture takes off when my cane shows up on grid. The Incursus sits there. I switch to barrage ammo. He sits there some more. I MWD towards him to close the distance and target him. He is still sitting there.

I wonder what station games he thinks I am playing... The normal station games?... I guess I am... they just might not be the ones he is expecting...

I'm amused now. I'll take global erryday.

PewPew. Incursus in half shields. His shields are repping. Interesting. Pewpew. Incursus in Armor. Pewpew. Incursus in half armor. I'm about 30k out now and nailing him with barrage from autocannons. This is so not an alpha setup.

Pewpew... he docks.

Damn.

I roll back to the POS to debate my options and wait out GCC.

They decide to leave.

Oh well. I tried :D I'm proud of myself for that.

Sec status is back up to -4.4. Go me!

I hope I'm doing this pirate thing okay...

Maybe one day!

 [15:32:10] Trig Vaulter > Sugar Kyle Nice bio - so carebear sweet - oh you have a 50m ISK bounty - so someday more grizzly  [15:32:38 ] Sugar Kyle > /emote raises an eyebrow to Trig  [15:32:40 ] Sugar Kyle > okay :)  [15:32:52 ] Sugar Kyle > maybe one day I will try PvP out When I logged in one of the first things I did was answer a question in Eve Uni Public Help. It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

Summer in Iceland - Day Six

It is the final day and we have moved past Sion's shark consumption. We left Cafe Loki and just strolled back through town. I wandered in and out of stores looking for soft gloves or socks. There are lots of gloves, socks, scarves, hats, and etc all over the place but most of them are made of wool and are as harsh and scratchy as anything I have ever seen. I wanted something soft and silky and amazing and I didn't find that which is okay. The general game plan was to find this Ice Cream place across the street from CCP. It seems that they make their ice cream daily and it is the most amazing ice cream ever. So, we head to this ice cream place which is also near a grocery store and some museums. We go in and Corbexx orders some terrible concoction of salted peanuts and some candy that I hate. He said it was delicious. I was stuck staring at the flavors and not knowing what anything was because I'm illiterate in Iceland. I also have an ongoing problem with catching the
