As is typical I was out scouting holes for my Corp’s pvp op. I was just about to head home when I came through a hole to be greated by an uncloaked Anathema. I reacted as fast I could, but it managed to escape. After a bit of snooping around I headed back for home base. I was convo’d:

That was the first time I had aggressed someone who had read my blog. We ended up going back to his hole later that night, but they were all closed up. We dropped in on their neighbors though.
We managed to get five bombers out and into a hole in Rens. I love holes in frequently traveled areas, they typically have a lot of idiots running around in them. This night though we ran up against a pretty squirrelly adversary. When we first came through the system there were two pilots logged in at the tower. We left a scout back to watch as we probed deeper, but they didn’t come to life until we were just about to leave. They both jumped into cov ops and started started jumping around, probing and heading into hi sec. To make a long boring story short we camped them for well over an hour and despite 5 of us they always managed to allude us. It didn’t help that I am pretty sure they got a glimpse of us in the beginning. Regardless, it was nice to hunt a worthy opponent.
Shortly after leaving them we returned to pay a visit to my readers, but as mentioned above they were closed for the night. I like to think it was because they knew I would be out hunting that night. However, their neighbors didn’t get the memo and had a quiet mining op planned for the night. I was woefully out of practice combat probing and managed to botch my scan twice dragging out the whole process for a minute at least. Despite the lengthy time uncloaked and scanning we all moved in undetected and popped their three mining barges and two pods in the blink of an eye.
Caindlazz needs a mentor. I assume he is a brand new character, but take a look through his past loses, especially the three hurricanes. It really is unfortunate when new players don’t have someone to guide them through the game. Newbs are people too and no one should have to be humiliated for the rest of their eve career with those KMs in their past.
As we left, my wingman formulated a pointed response to the evening's hockey game:
Kiritsubo > take that you filthy Canadians!

Nice to see you posting again. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteAs the main character in one of these holes visited, we took great delight in finally recognizing who we had stalking about. It was my son who first realized that one of the characters (who shall remain nameless to protect his identity) was the revered Genocide Machine.
ReplyDeleteWe have been living in wormhole's for almost 5 months and my having started EVE last July still qualifies me as a newb. We were actually beginning to stalk him...
Being big fans of this blog and learning so very much about how best to protect our assets we feel so very indebted and ingratiated to Genocide Machine...while we wish him the best of luck in his endeavors we hope for his failure in J124253! BTW ha we known you were coming back we would have arranged a special welcoming party for you ;)
