Sermon of Bob


(fan fiction)

The scripture of Bob has yet to be written. These are his dogma.


Bob required stripper sacrifices to provide a temporary covering of sins and to foreshadow the perfect and complete sacrifice of his sleepers. Stripper sacrifice is an important theme found throughout Scripture because “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness”.

When the first wormholers sinned, strippers were killed by Bob to provide clothing for them. CCP Seagul and CCP Guard brought sacrifices to the Bob. CCP Guard's was unacceptable because he brought fruit, while CCP Seagul's was acceptable because it was the “firstborn of her flock”. After the invasion receded, Two-step sacrificed strippers to Bob.

Bob commanded the nation of wormhole space to perform numerous sacrifices according to certain procedures prescribed by Bob. First, the stripper had to be spotless (hard task, that can only happen through the cleansing heat of lasers). Second, the person offering the sacrifice had to identify with the stripper. Third, the person offering the stripper had to inflict death upon it.

When done in faith, this sacrifice provided a temporary covering of sins. Another sacrifice called for on the Day of Atonement, described in Bob 16, demonstrates forgiveness and the removal of sin.

The high priest was to take two male strippers for a sin offering. One of the strippers was sacrificed as a sin offering for the people of wormhole space, while the other stripper was released into the wilderness. The sin offering provided forgiveness, while the other stripper provided the removal of sin.
In summation, stripper sacrifices are commanded by Bob so that the individual could experience forgiveness of sin. The stripper served as a substitute—that is, the stripper died in place of the sinner, but only temporarily, which is why the sacrifices needed to be offered over and over.


---- His Fable

Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Bob is your god, Bob and he lives in the wormhole. Once, giants lived in the wormhole. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Bob, and they took from him the enigma of ISK. Bob was angered. And the wormhole shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into k-space, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of ISK and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of ISK has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.

ISK you can trust.


Icky Gets a Free Orca








TLDR – Our scout finds a miner in a anom, miner warps off and comes back in an orca to pick up the cans. We tackle –He Ejects -- Free Orca


Sorry about how long the video is nothing happens till 9:00. I thought it would be entertaining to see a gank from start to finish.


This video is from the scouts perspective but he doesn’t record his own voice. So you only hear our comments . So all you hear is the corp banter in the background.
So this is a typical night in our corp. We have multiple scouts jumping into wormhole to wormhole looking for targets. Some of us sit around in combat ships on our alts ready to swoop in on targets once they are found. In our corp all pvp loots goes to the scouts. This time one of our scouts finds a miner, who ships up to an orca to pick up his jet cans. We tackle him, he ejects, we steal it. Then we give the orca (he can’t fly) to the scout who found it.


Special thanks to Eden .. our 2 week old EVE player, who sits on the target WH only to warp off randomly when told to jump in and tackle. LOL – o well, we were all new once.


I would like to point out, this scout flying this bomber has found us multiple billions in kill mails. All the loot goes to him. I think he has made about 2.5 bil in the 3 weeks he has been in our corp.
If you listen to Down the pipe podcast, you will recognize the voices.

SUSU Update

SUSU update

SUSU is growing, with its grow adds greater responsibility. SUSU has gotten to the point that I can no longer in good faith manage it by myself.

I would proudly like to welcome SUSU's first and only directors.

Bronya Boga

And

Cethion.

This a huge deal for our corp. The corp will be changing in the following ways.

1.  The trust relationship we have maintained to this point, was between the members and myself ONLY. This meant that when you joined our corp, the only person you needed to not AWOX the shit out of you and steal all your stuff, was me. This is no longer the case. Bronya and Cethion will both have the ability to rob the corp blind, my stuff included.

This is a big trust issue for me. I have always followed the golden rule of "Trust no one" and then asked you all to then "Trust Me". Having gotten to know both Cethion and Bronya, I feel a level of trust between myself and them has been established.

I am speaking for myself in this equation. I am not speaking for everyone else. That being said, I am giving anyone who doesn't like this idea 6 days to clear out expensive gear from JIM.

Not asking you to leave the corp, but I want you to know that things are changing and you have the opportunity to reduce your equipment foot print and commitment level, because of this factor.

2. The power these two people will have will be second only to me. They both have been tasked with making positive changes in fleet doctrine and combat readiness. If you fuck up, I have asked them to pull you aside and sort you out. Please listen to them, they know their shit. If you have an issue with the way they do this, or disagree with why they are doing it, please bring it up to me personally.

They both have a big job ahead of them, their goals are broad. Please work with them.

3. Tab assignment and role granting will be addressed by myself ONLY. I got it just right and they are not allowed to touch it, until I have trained them further on this task.

THIS GOES INTO EFFECT --- 7/16/13 -- Director roles will be granted On this date.


Thank you for the understanding and this is a good step for us!

Gank Stories



TLDR; We gank some people and record it.

I typically don’t write about all our ganks, usually just the interesting ones. In this case Cylin went out of his way to actually push the Faps record button, which is much more than I can remember to do in most situations. BTW I want to call out here and now, he is a much better pilot than myself. He makes far fewer mistakes. I’m bad and I wake up feeling bad.

We aren’t the best pilots in EVE, but our thirst for player explosions is near the top. Yay Cylin for remembering to record our stuff!


Story 1.

We came across a c2/c3/HS connected to our c3 static. Cylin was the scout for this and upon jumping in, he found an Ishtar on scan and a cov ops. Following the first steps when hunting, he tried to get ‘eyes’ on the  ships in their POS. In doing so, we saw another ship on scan, a pod then an Abandon. This is good because it means there is life in this  hole.

We check for recent NPC/Player kills in the hole. Nothing, but what we found strange was a floating can at the sun in the C3 we just came from. The tags matched the ticker on the pilots in the POS in the C2.  The can at the sun was filled with faction missile ammo. ?? No idea.

So these guys in the C2 knew about hole we were in, knew where the hole was and most likely had eyes in the C3. We had only jumped into the c3 with scout ships, scanning proteus and scanning tengu.  At worse they knew about those ships. Remember in wormhole hunting, hiding your numbers is critical. People can POS up at a drop of a hat and never come out for days, if they think you’re still around.

We decide to keep our ships in Jim on the c4/c3 hole and send in the bait.  We were betting on they may not have eyes in the c3, but if they wanted to commit to a fight, they may try and pop a scout into the c3 from their c2 to see before they commit. We couldn’t afford to give our numbers away to a gang of 2 guys.

Send in the bait.

I have been flying this gnosis around in low sec and baiting in wormholes as of late. I’m going to work this lure till it stops producing, but its far better IMO than “Bait Drake”.  There is a saying in wormholes. “The Drake is always Bait”. Soon after we are done with her, “The gnosis is always bait”

The fit:

                                   low slot 0" type="1600mm Reinforced Steel Plates II
                                   low slot 1" type="1600mm Reinforced Steel Plates II
                                   low slot 2" type="Damage Control II
                                   low slot 3" type="Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II

                                   hi slot 0" type="Medium Diminishing Power System Drain I
                                   hi slot 1" type="Auto Targeting System II
                                   hi slot 2" type="Small YF-12a Smartbomb
                                   hi slot 3" type="Core Probe Launcher I
                                   rig slot 0" type="Medium Trimark Armor Pump I
                                   rig slot 1" type="Medium Trimark Armor Pump I
                                   rig slot 2" type="Medium Trimark Armor Pump I
                                    qty="5" slot="drone bay" type="Hammerhead II

Tank with reactive hardener is 118k. I put a auto targeting system on it, because I had the free high slot and it gives 2 extra targets. I have since refit it with a WEB after what occurred in the video. The fit is a work in progress.

I jump the bait gnosis into the c2 and drop tech 1 scanning probes, good bait goes out of its way to not look like bait. I figured they must know about the c2 and would be able to get eyes on me before they committed with the abbaddon and the Ishtar. Just a newb out for a stroll scanning in my gnosis… herp a derp… 

Nothing, for almost 20 minutes they kept switching ships to a scan ship, to a hauler, to a abbaddon, to a Legion. The legion warped out of the POS and I hoped to me. Nope. It warped out and cloaked someplace.

I finished scanning down the C2 in my bait gnosis, and found what must be the static High sec. It was the only hole other than c2. I didn’t want to get too far from the fleet in our c4 in the event there were more people in the c2 we didn’t know about, so I took a chance and  moved the fleet to the c3 side of the c2 and waited.

My only option at this point was to warp to the High sec and play out the ‘lost WH guy scenario”. I did, and the legion uncloaked next to me, at almost 0 on the hole. This was disappointing because no matter how many ships we brought in, the legion would just jump out into high sec. Think station games. I jumped out into the high sec and waited for my polarity to pass.

During this time the corp was trying to think of clever ways to get him off the hole that didn’t scream total and complete bait, convincing tactics. There were no anoms to try and rat in, a newb wouldn’t have any reason to sit at a planet or the sun.. so we were at a loss. We decided that a newb may try and go back to where he came from. Convincing ? meh, its all we had. Maybe they would miss the scam and warp after me, into the arms of the waiting fleet.

After polarity subsided I jumped into the c2 to find the Ishtar at 40 from the hole and the legion on top of it. The legion had deployed a medium warp bubble on top of the hole. It had not yet activated. I took my chances and went into warp to the c2. Worse that would happen is, I get scrammed and just jump back into the high sec. I made it in, and got the warp before the legion could point me.

This bubble was going to work to our advantage. It would trap my helpless newbie bait the next time I warped back to the high sec hole. Better yet, it would trap me 20 k from the hole and I would be “forced” to burn to the hole, or away from the hole back the way I came.  If they wanted to “catch me” they would need to get a web and a scram on me before I could get out of the bubble, thus pulling the legion off the hole into my fleets landing arms.

I went into warp to the now active warp bubble on the high sec hole. I told Cylin who had been watching the POS to warp to the HS hole and the fleet to jump in and hold cloak.

I landed on grid and played my part to burn away from the hole out of the ‘scarrrrryyy bubble trap’ these guys erected.  Sure enough, the legion burned to me and the Ishtar dropped sentry drones. The nuets almost made me lose point, but thankfully my trusty NOS was able to maintain the point.

The video takes over from here. LINK

I was slightly short tempered in that fight because of how long we waited to get this fight/gank. Almost 45 minutes of us fucking around with them for them to finally commit. I almost avoided giving them a chance to save their pods with a Haiku. The legion being so close to dying and still getting away was frustrating.  I have since put a web on my gnosis to avoid this crap in the future.

O well, shots were fired, and in the end that’s all that matters.

Dead Ishtar

Also after talking with the legion pilot after the fight, they totally knew the gnosis was bait, they just thought they could pop me before the fleet arrived. Good on them for at least trying and not POSing up.


Story 2:


Our newest member Jack Miton formerly of AHARM was diving(using k-space as a platform to jump into wormholes looking for targets) from high sec during the previous stories gank. He came across multiple battleships and two neut legions he was tormenting with his scanning proteus.

**side note about Jack** He is an avid fan of the podcast and a reader of this blog. His reasons for leaving the notable c6/c6 wormhole corp are his own. He assured me it wasn’t for nefarious reasons and we all know it wasn’t for giant fights or massive isk SUSU could provide. He is a great pilot and I used to be in ducks with him in the past. Stand up guy, knows his shit, very helpful and super friendly. He is also infinitely more wealthy than the entire corp put together.  We as a smaller growing corp, are gifted with his presence and whatever wisdom he will bring.  Anyone who has an issue with it, can talk to me personally.

After Jack was chased out of the c3 wormhole he found the ships in, I think they closed the wormhole behind his ship, trapping his combat ship outside in K-space. I may have my facts wrong, but I think he still had a scanning alt in the system and he found the new high sec quickly and jumped through it.  The battleships, and legions I guess never bothered to find the new high sec, and went about their business shooting at a POCO.

Bad choice on their part.

The high sec connection was 23 jumps the high sec we fought the legion on, but it was a chance to fight/gank some ships, so we burned full speed across high sec. Jack was the FC for this, and instructed us wait one high sec system out, in the event they had managed to get a cloaked ship outside of the hole in the high sec. They would see us in local chat, and perhaps put 1 and 1 together than we were coming to murder them.

After 23 jumps in high sec, we massed and waiting for Jack to get us a warp in. Cethion the mass murderer of the Gallentee had to station up in the target system to avoid the police.

Jack told us to jump in to the target high sec, and warp to the hole. Once our ships were on the hole he managed to get us a warp in for the two raven battleships and 2 oracles that were bashing the POCO.

Cethion in his assault frig and new recruit Lotor in his interdictor.

Here is the video of us landing and murdering

LINK

Mad props to Lotor for keeping that oracle pinned down long enough for us to get more dps on him. He is also another great pilot from another wormhole corp we recruited.


Again, our Haiku offering to save his pod was ignored. O well, shots were fired.

Special thanks to Jack Miton for getting us those kills.

O and I never figured out why those guys were set to blue on my character... Damn I have been playing this game too long.

Terrible A-Team







 TLDR: We find targets, and extort a spaceship from some other extortionists.

The A-Team was a feel good 1980s show with explosions, giant black dude (MR -T), and crazy white people. The A-Team by my understanding were some ex-special forces dudes who drove around in a giant van and solved problems. Most episodes were the A-Team finding some innocent person being exploited by a gang, bad guy, mobsters or whatever. They would come in and blow stuff up and get paid in hugs. I’m being overly general but that really was what I remember. I had a lunch box with Mr-T on it, and ate MR-T cereal.

Well last night, we had the opportunity to be the A-Team, but because EVE is evil and its player base are terrible people, we failed. 

Story

I logged in last night to find my guys trying to kill an Orca and scorpion in our static. They had just rolled into this C3 and noticed scout ships, an Orca, navy drake and a scorpion. Our scouts jumped into the C3 and worked out getting eyes on the ships to find most were piloted.

The typical reaction of a wormhole resident when a new hole opens in their home is to see who opened it. See if they are someone to be feared, killed or if it’s just a random explorer moving around. As hunters, we try and make people believe we are the random explorer, without giving too much intel.

My corp went off the assumption the people in the hole were bears and would want the hole closed, for privacy. We catch a great many battleships and orca because people just want to close a connecting hole before they get down to doing whatever it is they do.

Everyone in Jim either logged off/waiting at the log in screen or cloaked up. We cloaked up a double bubble interdictor and other t3 cloaking ships on the Jim side of the connecting hole. We watched the scout ship in the C3 drop probes and jump into Jim. They looked around, confirmed nobody was home. We were sure they would jump the orca and scorpion into Jim  to put mass on the WH to close it.

So we waited. 20 minutes and nothing.

Bored and wanting to try something different, we came to agreement, we would throw a bait gnosis into the hole to see if they would bite. Gnosis have a rep of being flown by noobs  and being totally bad. Ours has 120k tank 3 disruptors, 1 scram, flown by a one of my 08 pvp characters.  :)

I jumped the bait gnosis in and dropped probes (tech 1) Sitting at at planet 2 because it was closest to the Jim hole. Our eyes in the C3 explained the guys were doing nothing but getting in and out of a cloaky hauler. Random. Some guy in a gnosis is at one of your planets, scanning and you do nothing. I resolved the C3 system and recalled my probes.

 There were 3 connecting wormholes other than Jim. So in my Gnosis, I jumped through each one and back again, intentionally giving myself polarity!  Anyone watching me do this would clearly know I was retarded and couldn’t jump out. Great chance to gank my gnosis.  Nothing.

Baby dady (one of the scouts) said “Hay the guns on this POS are incaped” I said, “all of them?” he said “Yep”. 

Well this was random. These guys clearly were not biting bait so I asked what moon it was, and warped my gnosis at 0 and bounced off their POS, with them in it.  I expected the people in it to at least poke their heads out and pop shot me from the shields. Something, anything!!

I try and get their attention in local since I’m already on grid with the POS.

I say in local“Hay, who incapped your guns?”

This is the response in private.

God damn IT!!!  That stupid podcast hosing up another perfectly good bait. They clearly knew what we are all about, and REALLY won’t bite this bait.

Everyone in the TS channel was cracking up. Cylin pipes up and says, the people who they are talking about have a MED POS with only ECM. “Let’s shoot it!”.

[ 2013.06.24 01:38:04 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > lol

 At first I was like, fk that, I hate POS bashes, but then again these guys obviously bring it, because they have already incapped these other dudes POS. Maybe they will bring a fight! So I agreed. 


We jumped a bunch of stuff into the C3 and fly to the MED POS of the aggressors and start incappng mods.

Exploitation! Those terrible people.

We all agreed in coms this was a wormhole version of an A-Team episode. We would be the A-Team and help the innocent against the oppression of a greater power! Well kind of, cause our attention span really is quite short.  

Having arrived on grid with a band of Sentry Domi and rag tag battle cruisers, we started shooting at the POS. The POS didn’t shot back. O well, it was just ECM anyway. Halfway through the incapping of the ECM mods, the faction war guy in the POS starts talking in local. “Hay would you mind incapping a POC in here too?” We honestly gave it some thought, but then were distracted by a cat video.

The miner wanted to join the fleet in his scorpion we were trying to kill earlier. I gave him my word we wouldn’t shoot him.

[ 2013.06.24 01:39:51 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > we're pretty newb to wormhole
[ 2013.06.24 01:39:57 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > been out here a whole 10 days or so
[ 2013.06.24 01:40:18 ] Sir Lomax > You have my word we will not shoot you, but you should rep those things asap.. we are going to be using your holes for a bit.. lets see how many of them they log on :) Don't agreess us or the deals off fyi
[ 2013.06.24 01:40:34 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > copy that , we'll corp blue you
[ 2013.06.24 01:40:37 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > thanks = )
[ 2013.06.24 01:40:42 ] Sir Lomax > Don't do that...

[ 2013.06.24 01:53:46 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > we didn't even see guns on it , ecm only

[ 2013.06.24 02:00:48 ] Sir Lomax > sure join our fleet

 I opened up a convo with faction war guy and he said the following. 

[ 2013.06.24 02:45:45 ] Sir Lomax > so what are you guys doing in here?
[ 2013.06.24 02:46:32 ] Meriks Friggson > We're just hear to fund our pvp, we get bored time to time and a WH is a nice change of pace
[ 2013.06.24 02:46:44 ] Meriks Friggson > We mostly kill Caldari

[ 2013.06.24 02:47:45 ] Sir Lomax > O really? they said you were the aggressors.. asking for 25%
[ 2013.06.24 02:48:13 ] Meriks Friggson > We've been in the WH for about a couple of months
[ 2013.06.24 02:48:22 ] Meriks Friggson > They showed up a week and a half ago
[ 2013.06.24 02:48:33 ] Meriks Friggson > Ran all the sites down for gas of all things
[ 2013.06.24 02:48:48 ] Sir Lomax > No kidding. They are the invaders?
[ 2013.06.24 02:49:07 ] Meriks Friggson > Yeah :< I wouldn't put a pos up in an Occupied wh
[ 2013.06.24 02:49:10 ] Meriks Friggson > Thats just dumb

[ 2013.06.24 02:50:14 ] Meriks Friggson > I mean, that makes sense

[ 2013.06.24 02:50:48 ] Meriks Friggson > By all means, join us in this love triangle
[ 2013.06.24 02:50:54 ] Sir Lomax > ahah
[ 2013.06.24 02:51:03 ] Meriks Friggson > You've already given us much more warning then the other guys ;)
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:24 ] Sir Lomax > Getting two different stories here
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:34 ] Meriks Friggson > Really?
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:40 ] Meriks Friggson > What are they saying?
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:44 ] Sir Lomax > I'm getting the rest of the story now

Turns out the miners are the invaders! As the A-team and our integrity is everything! We felt lied to. Those darn miners! We were fighting for the innocent and they weren’t even innocent.

O well this is EVE after all.  No one is really innocent..

[ 2013.06.24 02:51:16 ] Sir Lomax > So, this guy says you all tare the invaders in this situation
[ 2013.06.24 02:51:50 ] Sir Lomax > did you guys move into this system? like a week ago?
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:23 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > we moved in , thought this station was abandoned. Once we realized it wasmty , i sent a mail to both their diplo's , and contacted the members that were online in the whole .
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:27 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > hole ^
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:36 ] Sir Lomax > Ahhh
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:47 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > i asked if we could co -exists here peacefully , they said ye p
[ 2013.06.24 02:52:54 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > then today they attacked
[ 2013.06.24 02:54:32 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > we've been sharing exits with them , warning them about hsotiles in the hole ...basically trying to show as non threatening as possible , cause true enough , it was our fuck up for moving in
[ 2013.06.24 02:54:48 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > but we tried to solve things amicably first = P
[ 2013.06.24 02:54:58 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > amicably ^


We could flip on him because he wasn’t entirely honest with us from the beginning but these other people were faction war, using a c3 as a ISK farming hole. We hate people who farm WHs and don’t fight but the miners didn't give us the whole story. So those guys are kind of shitty too.

We tried to think of a way to get out of it. Clearly there wasn't a good guy and our hopes of being the A-Team were lost.

Our corp never really said we were going to remove the faction war guys POS, I would never agree to something so terrible. So I made a suggestion to the FW guys.

 Here is the convo;

[ 2013.06.24 02:52:52 ] Meriks Friggson > Dont get me wrong, they were a friendly bunch
[ 2013.06.24 02:53:28 ] Meriks Friggson > They moved in, were trying to make friends. But they pos was already up by the time we noticed them and had any say in the matter.
[ 2013.06.24 02:53:48 ] Sir Lomax > They are saying, they wanted to live in peace
[ 2013.06.24 02:53:49 ] Sir Lomax > peace
[ 2013.06.24 02:54:16 ] Meriks Friggson > We probably could have been had they notified us before they moved in :<
[ 2013.06.24 02:54:34 ] Meriks Friggson > I honestly would be up for it
[ 2013.06.24 02:55:31 ] Meriks Friggson > We could have struck up an agreement before they started running everything
[ 2013.06.24 02:55:32 ] Sir Lomax > Hmm We would be up for a bribe to leave right now
[ 2013.06.24 02:55:45 ] Sir Lomax > we owe them no allegiance
[ 2013.06.24 02:56:55 ] Meriks Friggson > To be honest, the amount of time it would take to reinforce this and come back in a couple of days should be reward enough haha
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:05 ] Sir Lomax > bha.. we don't want to do that
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:08 ] Meriks Friggson > But let me talk to someone about it
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:20 ] Sir Lomax > we would take a ship or two in trade. we are cheap :)
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:46 ] Meriks Friggson > Hehe, what are you thinking?
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:49 ] Meriks Friggson > Actually
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:52 ] Meriks Friggson > I have just the thing
[ 2013.06.24 02:57:58 ] Sir Lomax > ?
[ 2013.06.24 02:59:19 ] Meriks Friggson > We could, being members of the Gallente Federation, offer you upgrades to your Dominixes
[ 2013.06.24 02:59:43 ] Sir Lomax > That sounds promising
[ 2013.06.24 03:00:21 ] Meriks Friggson > We spend a few days Plexing Caldari systems, hand us the domi, we give you it back, complete with camo and upgrades
[ 2013.06.24 03:00:48 ] Sir Lomax > Well all was have is your word on that.
[ 2013.06.24 03:01:36 ] Sir Lomax > We were looking to get out of this like sooner, possibly nowish
[ 2013.06.24 03:01:36 ] Meriks Friggson > We could start with one Navy Domi trading for a striped Domi, and after that, using that domi, I use it to upgrade the next one
[ 2013.06.24 03:01:58 ] Meriks Friggson > Right now, I have nothing in the WH aside from a Myrm and an Oracle
[ 2013.06.24 03:02:17 ] Meriks Friggson > Or, you can trade for a navy domi
[ 2013.06.24 03:02:39 ] Meriks Friggson > Honestly, We'll be in the same place here if we crossed you haha
[ 2013.06.24 03:02:50 ] Meriks Friggson > Or, you can find us in Vlillirier
[ 2013.06.24 03:03:03 ] Sir Lomax > we will take a single navy domi to skidaddle out of here asap
[ 2013.06.24 03:03:24 ] Meriks Friggson > You probably wouldn't want to go to Nennamaila
[ 2013.06.24 03:03:42 ] Sir Lomax > Nope, but if you contract it to me, we will consider it golden
[ 2013.06.24 03:04:00 ] Sir Lomax > Our word is our bond as a podcaster
[ 2013.06.24 03:04:15 ] Sir Lomax > and we also don't break our word
[ 2013.06.24 03:04:37 ] Sir Lomax > So far our only word to the people in this hole.. is to not shoot their ships
[ 2013.06.24 03:06:06 ] Meriks Friggson > You got someone near Orvolle
[ 2013.06.24 03:06:09 ] Meriks Friggson > ?
[ 2013.06.24 03:06:25 ] Meriks Friggson > Mr Astarte could go
[ 2013.06.24 03:06:34 ] Sir Lomax > nope, but you can contract it to me just fine
[ 2013.06.24 03:06:50 ] Sir Lomax > contracts work Via whs
[ 2013.06.24 03:07:07 ] Meriks Friggson > Getting someone to buy it now ;)

[ 2013.06.24 03:08:14 ] Meriks Friggson > Please remove hostile forces as agreement
[ 2013.06.24 03:08:18 ] Meriks Friggson > Dominix Navy Issue (Item Exchange)
[ 2013.06.24 03:09:32 ] Sir Lomax > sec. we pulled drones.. just a moment
[ 2013.06.24 03:09:40 ] Meriks Friggson > Of course, take your time

[ 2013.06.24 03:12:37 ] Meriks Friggson > Thank you very much
[ 2013.06.24 03:12:45 ] Sir Lomax > Fly dangeroius
[ 2013.06.24 03:12:46 ] Meriks Friggson > We'll talk for sure

Score one Navy Domi to go away!

We came into this with the idea we were the A-Team coming to solve problems.. which we kind of did. We made the request to both parties to work out their differences and got paid with a Navy Domi.


[ 2013.06.24 03:08:58 ] Sir Lomax > Ok, we have gotten bored. :)
[ 2013.06.24 03:09:10 ] Reistala Abre-Kai > heh

[ 2013.06.24 03:12:10 ] Sir Lomax > GL on your fight


I left out we received a navy domi. My bad. So I guess we are just very terrible A-team guys and can be bribed. 

I rewarded Baby Dady and Cylin with the navy domi to split. 

I try and reward content creators in my corp when ever possible. Baby Dady for scanning down this hole and Cylin for the idea to bash the FW people.

If it’s a corp infiltration, scanning, extortion, finding pvp targets or in some way bringing something to the corp. Those people should get the lion’s share of the profits.  We are all independent operators with corp support. The people who are active in the corps day to day, dictate the direction of the corp. 

I was very proud of my guys last night.
