[-BAT-] Target Acquired

[tazelbain]

While it's not unusual for target corps the shed member oddly the members leaving are not the ones that have been killed or camped (not by us anyway)

Yeah, I think Bat Country drove some sort of point home when we ignored their station camp and went out to say Hi to their miners and agent runners several systems away.  We didn't catch them (sucks not having cov-ops or even probing ability, we r. really newbies), but I think they concluded that if they want to mine / mission in peace, they might have to leave.

Now you guys are inflicting some damage and losses, so I'm sure that went into the decision too.

haha (On behalf of AOE) ill let you all know your sadly wrong =) killboard shows all, we win. keep your illusional win to yourself and if you think that we're "losing" members =) yeah... thats whats happening *cough* strategic moving *cough* bye little kids

~Dano (never lost a ship =) but killed a dozen good job Bat/F13/Clan Eshin)

Or you could war dec us and make us pay a ransom to stop. Since we lost the war, we'd have no choice but to pay up right?

[Reg]

 I hope they don't decide to throw you guys in that briar patch over there!

[gimpyone]

no cuz if we war dec all we will hear is "why would we come out of station *starts crying* your ships are better than ours *cries more*" then say you win simple because you called in other corps in to fight us and that STILL didnt help you. the only you place you won at is right here on your own forums. your all just a bunch of fucking pussy computer geeks. peace out

I guess he didn't like half his corp. We did him a favor, it appears. :)

[gimpyone]

I think he likes us more than his corp.  Envy or something.

We get that with would-be spies in Goonfleet a lot.  It's pretty classic behavour where someone comes from an artifical, in-game community to a genuine, shared-identity one.  The "rarr rarr so angry rarr" act fits the profile pretty closely.

This thread delivers.

I'm not sure what it is, but it delivers.

(and ooo yeah rarr i want to join F13 sooo bad, plz id do anything!!! ill even get on my knees for you!!! fuck off)

The very fact that you continue to post proves that this is so.

Also, you really don't want a Ferrari. The gas mileage is shit and you have to change the oil every five miles or so it seems. It's pretty laughable actually.

I'm buying a Prius. I've wanted one since they came out. That's a damn hot car. :)

I just have one of my people drive in front of me in a truck full of new Ferrari's.  When it's time to fill up the tank or change the oil, I just leave the old on on the side of the road and unpack a new one.

After all, I can't be seen in a used car.. think of what people would say!

FIFY.

Don't forget to mention you are a bronzed adonis', shirtless physique rippling with golden muscles as you run gracefully through the amber wheat fields of the Mediterranean, long dark hair trailing behind you. Men and children sing to you as you wander the towns and villages, looking for people you can help through only the charity of your truly saintlike compassion. To you belongs the Earth, my friend, and the Kingdom of Heaven.     <-- totally stolen, but so right.

Well, I guess we lost, eh?

I want to thank Helen Highwater (have no idea whose toon that is) for helping me out. I was minding my own business in .4 space (looting the dead) when someone in an Ishtar shows up and scrambles me. Being totally flustered and NOT used to being on the PvP side (and thinking it was a moron in a Vex, not an Ishtar!), I attempted to fight rather than burn out of range and warp.

I couldn't get him past about 20% into armor, and he was destroying my drones -- and apparently had far more reserve drones (not to mention good guns!) than I did. I could tank his guns (and his medium drones) and he wasn't getting anywhere. Unfortunately, the Beserker II's were NOT something I could tank and I couldn't kill them (most of my drones were dead and he was quick to recall and release -- I need to practice that).

He wanted 50 million to let me go. I didn't have it, and really didn't want to pay everything I had to this twit.

However, he was ALSO a fucking moron. I kept him talking for about 10 minutes while screaming for help in the F13 channel. (I'm a baby. Sue me). Helen happened to be 5 jumps away in a Domi. She zipped over, warped to me, dropped Ogre II's and proceeded to pop his ass. We had NO points on him (we didn't even have any scramblers/disrupters), and the fucker didn't leave. I managed to loot his wreck right as he popped back into the area in whatever backup ship h e had, and ran like screaming hell for safety.

Congrats Helen. That 154 million ISK kill is ALL yours. I couldn't even scratch him.  Also -- fucking exciting!

All for an attempt at 50 million in ransom. I do appreicate the save -- even with insurance, I would have been out about 50 million either way (implants!).

Apparently, after that the idiot and his corp proceeded to start trying to hit another Bat Country member (Minmater Shuttle) and losing faction and standing left and right in a futile attempt to do anything to him. I think he was actively taunting him by his mere existance.

I shit you not. I stalled by claiming I didn't have the cash, that I'd have to cancel buy orders, etc -- and by showing that my tank would take awhile to break. Not the world's smartest pirate.

Fun night. Now I have to sell his stuff to offset my dead drones.

Good job on the smooth talking anyway.

I think my 11 year old son could have stalled him. A proper pirate would have popped me. He knew I was carrying at least 10+ million in modules and drones, and he had a whole bunch of mission wrecks to loot that probably had something on it. (Thankfully the mission was already over).

Really, really, REALLY a dumb pirate. Iain there got a very nice kill. :)

[Sparky]

50mil ransom for a myrm?  Dumb and greedy.

Nice story.

If he'd taken 2 more minutes to get there, I'd have salvaged his wreck too. :)

~Dano (never lost a ship =) but killed a dozen good job Bat/F13/Clan Eshin)

One does not 'strategically move' to NPC corps, one flees to avoid war!

and in case you hadn't noticed we [Eshin] are still here ;-)

Careful though Dano, give these guys enough of a reason and they might not forget you in a hurry............

[Sparky]

I've probably posted this before but just for future reference you should almost never lose a pod in lowsec.

As you're dying (going into structure) select any celestic object (planet, station, star, gate... whatever) and madly spam "warp to" on the selected items button of your overview.  Keep spamming that fucker as you drop into a pod and you'll instantly warp away.  Should work even in very high lag situations where you might not even know you're safe for a couple of minutes.  Basically the only reason to lose pods is unlucky startbombs, bubbles or melting down into a pit of quivering despair.

Not strictly relevant but it should help you feel safer in those implants.

[Endie]

Well, I guess we lost, eh?

Actually, if someone will link that kill to our campaign, then we come out pretty much even on cash.  They got more kills, though.  We got a shitload of experience in empire warfare, a bunch of good ideas in the private thread about what to train towards to nullify this sort of thing, and we're doing the goonfleet thing: our skillpoints are rising geometrically as their points rise arithmetically.

Plus, they seem keen to make it a personal, permanent vendetta.  Which for a pvp corp is a good thing, but won't get them back their lost members.  As a goon, I know just how well it plays out in the end for people with lots of skillpoints who make personal enemies of a bunch of newbies out for pewpew.

I believe dropping corp to avoid wars then rejoining after hostilities cease is considered an exploit (probably why he edited his post).  But it's one of those gray areas that GMs often disagree on.  Anyway if you're feeling vindictive watch those fleeing characters and activate petitionboostah

Unfortunately it's no an exploit (the Alliance hopping is however) we've had enough targets do it to us to have already submitted a few petitions over it. But these guys aren't reforming as a new corp [yet] - probably because they know we'd just dec them.

if you think that we're "losing" members =) yeah... thats whats happening *cough* strategic moving *cough*

Well Binnsman 'strategically moved' to NPC corp this morning when he realised he was camped in after 2 unsuccessful attempts to flee the station, unfortunately he forgot about the 15 min agro timer so he still lost his ship while waiting for me to get Concorded (it saved his pod though)

They have gained a member somewhere along the line (a heavy hitter?) so that leaves them still at 17

So I'll call BS on the contents of the quote

[Endie]

I'm kinda busy in Delve right now but once that's knocked on the head I'll happily contribute a Recon/Hac pilot for the duration if you like, 5150.
