    Due to a 5 day renewal those nice guys at CCP sent out for the RevII patch, I just renewed a 3 year old toon with 6 mil skillpoints. And much to my great surprise, I never learned a single propulsion jamming skill. Yeah, that's right, I don't know how to tackle... I feel so bad.

    In entirely unrelated news, however, the Thorax I had back then is still fitted with 8 Ogre I's. Only overfilling the drone bay by about 150 m3's. I so want to 1v1 another cruiser and whip that surprise out. Only good for one shot... but woo, it'd be funny.

    Long story short, I'mma gonna polish my "application", then head over to one of the WANGquarters, dock my flying phallic object with the station, and submit it. Also: spy on you. Gotta remember to do that.

    Leave that thorax docked and try to pawn it off as a collectors item.

    That's what I'm gonna do with it. In the meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out why I parked an Iteron V in .2 space when I was carebearing. If I'd had a corp back then, and were, perhaps doing stuff with them... maybe I could come up with a reason. But the damn ships farther into dangerous territory than I was. Maybe I was mining idiocy.

    What's real fun is I'm gonna pilot that to Hosh (assuming the traffic report doesn't include guaranteed death. If it's only likely death I'll risk it) Worst that could happen is I blow up.

    Edit: Ingame name: Jaquile

    Completely related, does anyone want a collectors item? Eh? EHHH??
    It's like a flying wang with overloaded balls of fury.
    Only millions and millions of ISK.

    Secondary edit:

    Tried to undock with my overloaded dronebay, and the game appears to be smarter than that. If only I had quit playing outside a station instead of docked safely. Well, that puts a damper in the whole collectable aspect. I'm just gonna shoot things with it I guess.

    Aww drat. So multiple AB's on a ship are a no go now. Curse you multiple years of patching that I have not kept up with.

    I'd really like to get an answer to this question: is there some strong late night activity, or would being in the GMT+1 time zone leave me lonely in MERCHI?

    Things tend to be kind of dead the last hour before and after downtime (GMT 0900-1200), but otherwise there are people on doing things around the clock. We've got a handful of German and other European players. I'm GMT -7/-8 myself but I'm on during the strangest hours. Also, if you train to set up cynos, I know a German carrier pilot that might be your friend.

    Good to know. I'll reactivate my account in the coming days then :)

    Yeah, not so important now. Seems like AB's got a boost though, they used add about an extra 33% or so to speed, now they double it.

    So five days of free game time. Guess I'll have to install the client again. I didn't renew my subscription out of frustation after I noticed I had forgotten to set a skill in training over my two week vacation AND after I came back I ratted drunk in Hosh and some bastards blew up my brand new Hurricane. This game doesn't go well with my drinking habits I think.

    edit: also, I thought Wiggin was the first guy to ever be kicked from merch, and it turned out that no, that morning a RP newbie had been kicked. He'd refused to podjump because he didn't want to destroy his 'original body.'

    oh shit, we kicked that guy? i heard part of that for the five minutes i was on earlier...

    I definitely should've been kicked from Merchi, when I used a full rack of Arbalest heavy missiles from the corp hangar to fit my brand new Caracal, proceeded to kill a couple miners near Ishisomo with it, then lost it to sentries when I warped to the gate.

    There seems to be a good amount people on at any time, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Yeah, we definitely need more Euros in MerchI, but the server is generally well stocked with players at all times of day and you'll be sure to find some action in Merch, especially if you fly down to SP and join in on Goon ops.

    BoB summarily failed to achieve anything. All the POSes in 9-9 that came out of reinforced were saved. Same again tomorrow! :D

    According to a member of BoB: "Count so far is 518 Coalition ships destroyed and 55 Alliance. Any Goon that thinks he won the day has serious mental problems."

    According to Goonswarm: "rape rape rape rape rape"

    tl:dr -- 5 GS POSes come out of reinforced in late GS prime / early Russian prime. BoB brings full-force, even invites the pets along. All POSes are repped up and saved, Goons lose lots of ships because Goons are dumb t1 frig noobs, but BoB's fleet gets crushed every time they try to engage at the POSes. Culminating in a last-ditch effort where maybe 10 of their DPS fleet escapes.

    I was there. I repped POS while the battle raged around me. Good thing I didn't bring a combat ship because I was getting about 3 frames per minute every time the BOB fleet warped in.

    Oh and you cant run a trial and a non-trial or another trial account at the same time, meaning no multiboxing with trials.

    Mr. Wiggan doesn't seem to be a fun loving sort of guy.... I have had nothing less than a great time playing so far. I havn't got the skills to do any real pvp (prop jamming inc) but I have found everyone to be extreamly helpful.

    A couple days ago I was mining when some dude in a battleship was griefing me. I mentioned it in Corp and within minutes I was playing bait while MRCHI came in and duked it out with the guy. After seeing my first fight, and watching the annoyances ship go up in smoke, the guys were nice enough to give me their cuts of the loot....something like 30 mil.

    I can't wait until I'm tackling with you guys. Thanks for all your help.

    How does CCP prevent you from multiboxing trials+another account, is what I'm asking in a horrible manner. I blame bob for making me stay up and not get any sleep.

    And yeah, I tried to make a new account, in both IE/firefox and failed miserably, I'd click next and it wouldn't work. All the newbies figured it out and I can't :(

    If making a new account doesn't work, then either your browser or ccp's web page is fucked up.

    They restrict you from multiboxing because it doesn't let you log into a trial if there's another instance of EVE running on the PC. You can skirt this, or you used to be able to, by running it as another user, by setting up a dummy windows account and doing right click->Run As on your eve shortcut, or just using a different machine.

    I actually had that exact same thing happen. Torshin was GONAD's leader it turns out, so he's a very bitter 'blackops killed my alliance' guy. Torhas is a guy who joined merch that i argued with a lot and is now back to lowsec pirating :P

    Also holy shit that SHC thread exploded, Galavet's posts are making me laugh. It'd be fun to do an organized 'how many poses has bob reinforced total? How many killed' posting campaign.

    Noooo you dirty bastard, this is my place to shit up - the only place on SHC I ever used to randomly spam was the QotSA recruitment thread when I was a member there... wait a minute, didn't you spam that one too? Next you'll want a WANG alt so you can post in our internal forum as well :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    The best part about posting here might be the planning of elaborate (or not so elaborate) trolls on SHC. Trevor's quite a bit better at it than I am, but I have my moments (eg the E-honor Thread that BoB refused to post in) 8-)

    Yeah I really liked my 'the reason you don't talk about isk loss is because we're kicking your ass with t1 frigs, you idiots' troll that went completely unresponded to.

    I'll bet they beat us in isk damage even with t2 losses vs t1, but it's a ton closer than 90% ratios and whatnot.
