That Didn't Help the Cause

Of course, because it is new, I am infatuated with following my new change of security status. I figured that I'd pop it back over -5 along the course of the week since this is my busy work week and slow gaming week.

I'm not one to turn down pewpew or think about too much because of the sec hits. During the course of the day, it was busy down in Molden Heath. The group that the boys had their battleship brawl with returned and were very unhappy that we would not undock. They returned with fourteen people and we had four active.

One of them said he hated people that would not undock and fight. It did not help that the boys were playing station games with them. When I peeked out I discovered that life of being shot by others without the station and gates giving a damn. They had sent a megathron to the station. From the DPS it was putting out the chances that it was super tanked were very high. Mix that in with the fact that they had already shown a habit of supertanking their ships and yeah... it was not a fight we were going to take.

This made them quite mad. Undocking a carrier to rep someone just made them super livid. "You have cap support! Fight us!" the guy raged in local. "No thank you," we told them politely. "You should be called capital noobs and not Capital Punishment!" Somehow his language failed to sway us from derping into their fleet and eventually they left after wasting about half an hour.

But it was a day for station games. We found ourselves back at the same station with the same people playing with archons from the previous day. The guy talked just as much smack in local this time as he did the last. With more DPS on board we poked at their archons but didn't have the mass to bump them off the station. Then, smack talker himself undocked. The boys instantly started to shoot him. I didn't because of my sec status. He was waiting for me to shoot as were the archons.

However, this time he over committed. He went GCC and docked. Then he undocked and did it again. The boys shot him and I joined in and we started powering through his tank. The archon started to rep him just as the fleet landed and we broke him into armor. As the fleet landed we powered through his reps and killed him. This is why I was so cautious the other day when they went after me and I was trying to dock. We then went for the archon who had taken GCC to rep him (he was flashy red, they are in the same corporation, familiar story that). He had deaggressed and docked before we did anything.

Then we left. I would probably not have played that game if I had any power to be in charge. I just dislike the station game thing. Still, I should try to be a bit more patient about it but bleh.

That was all fine because he was flashy red so no sec hit. We then wound up killing a sleipnir in 0.0. Again, no sec hit.

It was when we kind of figuring out what to do that the idea came up to do a quick ship escort down from high sec. A lot of people had ships trapped up there as well as some fragile stuff. We assembled the fleet and went to get everyone down.

However, there was a small gatecamp at the high sec to low sec gate. This gatecamp of death was composed of a drake, brutix, harby, exequror and another thing or two I don't remember. Since we had shiny things enroute we pounced on them corrected the situation. Safety first and all of that. Caldari Navy Ravens and Navy Apocs and Logistic Ships are fragile, delicate flowers. One would not want the paint scuffed by a gatecamp. I can only guess they planned to take GCC when they shot at people because my GCC tanked after this do to their high sec statuses.

We got our shiny things down and out, almost got to shoot a carrier, and then I had to break off for the night.

My punishment for the brutix, harby, exequror, and a random vexor that we also killed a moment later was a plunge down to -6.0. Maybe I'll be motivated to work at it for the next few days now.

So, my current security status gain and loss. The small climb in the middle of the ship kills is a plex I did with a corpmate and some random npc that I killed. This is directly after my previous list that shows the pod kill.

And I'm down to a -6.0 from a -5.4.

  1. There are times one has to embrace what he is.

    You should accept -10.0. You won't evade it anyway.

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

Conflicted

Halycon said it quite well in a comment he left about the skill point trading proposal for skill point changes. He is conflicted in many different ways. So am I. Somedays, I don't want to be open minded. I do not want to see other points of view. I want to not like things and not feel good about them and it be okay. That is something that is denied me for now. I've stated my opinion about the first round of proposals to trade skills. I don't like them. That isn't good enough. I have to answer why. Others do not like it as well. I cannot escape over to their side and be unhappy with them. I am dragged away and challenged about my distaste.  Some of the people I like most think the change is good. Other's think it has little meaning. They want to know why I don't like it. When this was proposed at the CSM summit, I swiveled my chair and asked if they realized that they were undoing the basic structure that characters and game progression worked under. They said th
