I was just logging in and didn't have the statics scanned down. The statics had long since rolled. Before dropping probes, I hit D-scan and discover a wild Gila on D. (pronounced "HEE-La", you animals)
I always like to learn about other cultures outside of my own, so I did a quick google search to the name of his ship. A quick copy/paste from D-scan (this is why ship tags are stupid) to Google translate.
[sen]メラではない Gila - Translated to "Not a camera"
I guess if you need to name something that is in fact not a camera, "Not a camera", might as well be a space ship in EVE? Aren't other cultures fun!?
Then he started on one of the Sansha combat sites
I knew the moment I dropped combat probes or normal probes, I was sure to spook him and spoil the hunt, so I figured I would do it in a spectacular way.
I dropped probes and extended the traditional wormhole greeting in local chat. In his own language.
I never really noticed how creepy my alt looked, till I used google translate to threaten people.
It took him at least 5 minutes to realize someone was talking in local or that there was probes on scan. In that time, I found the high sec static and just as he warped back to it.
I really wanted to have a conversation with him further about his camera or not camera status, he wasn't having it and left.
O well.
