Holes: Rolled & Stretched

"When thou runnest the holy Sleeper sites of Bob, the Lord thine God, thou shalt never do so without first rolling thine statics. If there existeth any K162s, those thou shalt also roll. If thou shalt not roll thine statics and K162s then thou shalt post a scout on the holes. If thou shalt not roll thine statics and K162s or post a scout then thou shalt burn."

- A reading from the Holy Scriptures of Bob


As a devout follower of Bob I feel it is my duty to bring his Holy Word to all the peoples and tribes of w-space. This past Monday I had an opportunity to do just that (just like the Spanish Conquistadors that purified the souls of the Aztech savages).

Having resolved our home system, Dirty Mermaid, I was scanning out our static chain. There were a couple of wormholes to C5 space and some lower class systems as well. I began poking my head into each of the systems. I started with the low-end stuff first, hoping to find a solo site runner, but had no luck, so moved onto the C5's.

The first of the two wormholes contained nothing of interest, so I immediately moved onto the second, a system we would unimaginatively name 5.2

The wormhole to 5.2 was this system's static and I noticed when I first scanned it down that it had just at that moment spawned the K162 on the other end. By the time I jumped through it had existed for a good 5-10 minutes.

Dscan was empty save for a citadel and a POS and there were only three or four signatures in system, along with two sites. The outer planet was outside dscan range, so I warped over to check it out.

Someone was running escalations! Accompanying the wrecks were 2 Rattlesnakes, a Moros and a Phoenix. I quickly put eyes on our targets, relayed this information to my fleet and after much serious deliberation it was decided that the two of us (me in my Helios and Menacher in his Machariel) would fall just short of being able to break their tank, so he batphoned some friends of his: POSParty and Fly Sideways.

At this point the situation became somewhat unstable. While Menacher tried to collect some extra DPS, our targets which were part of an alliance called Moist (nice name, btw) spotted the extra wormhole connection and began rolling. For anyone not familiar with w-space, this presented a particular issue because if they rolled then our well-trod and convenient back door into their system would be lost and if there were no other convenient routes we would lose an opportunity to gank capitals. At this point, though, there was nothing we could do.

I remained in the system, hoping they would return to cap escalations at which point I could scan down the static and hope it wasn't crit. While they were busy rolling I went ahead to the outer planet and dropped probes, then moved them out of dscan range of the system and returned to my perch on the wormhole.

Meanwhile, Menacher was dealing with POSParty and Fly Sideways. Their alliance was under a wardec by some hi-sec scrubs. POSParty's rectal cavity had already been ravaged earlier in the day and they decided to have a big, gay ship-spinning party for themselves rather than redeem their abject failure in the eyes of Bob. Fly Sideways, however, did not disappoint. They came for the gud fites and flew across a dozen or so hi-sec systems, dicks out and waving like glorious banners of defiance in the face of hi-sec wardec and CONCORD alike.

As soon as the hole collapsed Moist reshipped and returned to finish the site and I made use of their distractedness to resolve their system under their noses. Their static, miraculously left stable, lead to a C3 system. The C3 was full of sigs, but I quickly found a hi-sec connection that was just a few short jumps from a hi-sec connection in Dirty Mermaid's static chain.

With our route to Moist's sweet, sweet capitals re-established I headed back to the C5 and put eyes back on our target, but they had changed up their fleet comp to produce more Sleepers. They were now flying 3 Moros dreadnoughts and 2 Phoenix carriers. Our fleet, though reinforced by Fly Sideways, wasn't setup to handle a this, but we soon lucked out.

Moist finished the site and began prepping to run the remaining Sleeper site while one of them salvaged wrecks and loot. Menacher and Fly Sideways were now in the hi-sec system, waiting to move up the chain to the C5. We were waiting for Moist capitals to take the field again, but several minutes ticked by and nothing happened. While we probably could have waited for the salvaging Noctis to clear the field and reship so they could run the second site we got tired of waiting and decided to use the Noctis as a pretext to bait Moist into a larger fight.

Fly Sideways joined my Helios in the C5 with a Loki and Proteus (both cloaky). The rest of the fleet moved up into the C3, standing by to jump into the C5.

While I kept eyes on Moist's citadel, the Loki engaged the Noctis, slowly burning it down. Moist escalated with a Stratios, which also died, this time to both the Loki and the Proteus. While the Stratios burned Moist pulled out a shiny Bhaalgorn. As it warped ever so slowly to the outer planet where the Loki and Proteus were our fleet jumped into the C5 and warped to what was an inevitable slaughter.

We wouldn't get any cap kills, but the Bhaalgorn pilot's death cries in local would entertain us well enough. Loot was scooped, lulz were had and a valuable lesson was taught.

Special thanks to the professional multi-boxers from Fly Sideways!

A Gaming Wasteland

I recently (late April) returned to EVE after about a year of wandering the wastes of what makes up our current gaming menu. Having dabbed in Diablo 3 (and its expansion), Heroes of the Storm, Kerbal Space Program, Skyrim, Fallout, ARK and all the rest, I came to the realization that while they each performed brilliantly in a few aspects of what I really wanted in my gaming experience none of them came as close as EVE to putting it all together.

Now I'm not saying that EVE is perfect. Far from it. I'm just saying that EVE is currently the only game I'm aware of that comes pretty close to what I want in a game.

My perfect gaming experience is one that allows me, and other players, to design and create massive structures; immense monuments to our own egos. All the players should be in one game-space so we can experience each others' grandiose edifices. Players need to be raised to near manic emotional highs at the completion of their goals. I want them to stand and bask in the glory of their creations. I want to stand behind them and stare in wonder. The pinnacle of my ideal gaming experience is to be able to destroy everything that everyone else has created - preferably accompanied by their great emotional trauma.

It's always been my personal opinion that EVE is not, per se, a great game. It's got a UI made of spreadsheets and a world that isn't consistent with what we know of astrophysics. But EVE does one thing exceedingly well: it allows us to force-feed hate and discontent to our fellow players by the truck load.

Convergence Zone

The Company has explored, scanned, surveyed and exploited more systems than we can be bothered to count. During those wide-ranging excursions we've noticed a pronounced drop in wormhole activity. Specifically the activity availing itself to surprise butt-sex: Sleeper Farming.

During our weeks of constant scouting all we've managed to get glimpses of are covert ops frigates and cloaky haulers and those are by far few in number. In general w-space seems to be sleeping.

Yes, there are a few corporations who've managed to swell their ranks and engage in the large wormhole fights, but these entities are not in the same class as us. They happily blob entire fleets onto a single carebear cruiser in order to whore the killmail. Unfortunately they will just as happily renounce you for not engaging them, despite their known blob tactics.

That is the down-side of massive entities in w-space. No one wants to fight them for fear of being so overwhelmingly outnumbered that fighting becomes an exercise in futility.

Regardless of whether the current doldrums are a result of massive entities or something else the Company is lucky to have found its most recent acquisition: the location of a class 3 wormhole system with active pilots and many shiny ships ripe for the plundering.

Stay tuned for a report of upcoming operations.

Mutiny on the Faggot Sea

Failure. Loss. Defeat. Cowardice. Betrayal.

The road to glory is long and twisted. It doubles back on itself and no one is immune to confusion. Even bitter vets get lost and must start over.



On the decks of our elite Stratios cruisers, buckled and burned by countless battles, we former Captains of the Dutch Rudder Company sail the unspeakable madness of wormhole space. With fair solar winds at our backs and smooth waters ahead we plundered the tight holes of carebears and failtards in the systems connected directly to the regions of known space.

Within weeks we had amassed a fortune from looting officer-fit Caracals and PLEX-encrusted tears. It was time to make for port and squander our bountiful wealth on male strippers and unnecessarily expensive battleship hulls with fancy paint jobs.

Erotic, depraved hedonism cannot last forever and we soon took back to the uncharted stars, this time in support of those we believed to be friends.

We found the corporation known as Jaded to be a veritable sea of anus-chafing faggotry. Ceaseless chattering filled with "rekt", "gucci", "kek", "gibblefart" and "suckadickbro" reverberated throughout their home C5, Stargasm, in childlike voices that would be impossible for me to replicate - to attempt it would require filling my mouth with an inordinate amount of semen!

Despite their incoherent ramblings and endless debates about everything from ship fittings to how many more penises one of them could stuff into his butt we decided to stay and attempt a rescue operation.

When their active leadership was berated by an absentee CEO we came to his defense and helped him take the helm of the corporation in name as well as in fact. Ruinous comms discipline was reigned in to a mere retarded comms discipline. Catastrophic Sleeper escalations that would've otherwise resulted in the deaths of entire gangs of caps were salvaged so that only minimal losses were incurred.

Jaded's gratitude for our efforts of leadership and content generation was expressed in the revocation of our roles and banishment from their precious festival of failure.

Left to our own devices once again, the Captains of the Dutch Rudder Company hoist our space-anchors and set sail with cargo holds full of wildly inappropriate ammunition and a dick-flourish flag flapping proudly atop our jackstaffs.

Keep out a weather eye, space friends. Soon enough you may see us coming over the horizon.

A Long Road Back

There have been many kings throughout history: great kings, weak kings, priest kings, god kings, foolish kings and even wise kings.

None of them are so special, however, as dead kings.

Poisoned, assassinated, slaughtered, betrayed and deposed, dead kings, whether they die in glorious battle and victory or suffer ignominious death via the errant bolt of a soup-maker, become the stuff of legend.

I, too, am a king – a dead king – crazed by exposure to the long dark of Anoikis and the deep places. I am dead yet free of the thief which stole my sanity.

In time my mind will recover. Perhaps with another clone; another rebirth.

Yes, I believe that's the key.

'Once there was a thief and the thief was God.'
- First line from The Exodus Bible

Piracy!


Official writ from the Headquarters of the Dutch Rudder Trading Company:

To the Board of Directors at the Dutch Rudder House,

An account of actions undertaken by the Company on the 10th of May, 2014 in J140642 against ships flying the flag of the Science and Trade Institute and a defense against accusations of piracy by the very same.

----------
By a Staff Officer
----------

Malception, commander of the Infidel, thus named in the angry-spaghetti script of all Hajis everywhere.

The aforementioned system had been under surveillance by a Company ship under the command of No'Wai Amagawd, newly-returned from shore-leave  and the co-author of the infamous No'Wai-Malception Law. Captain Amagawd signaled to the rest of the fleet, once more commanded by Torshawna aboard the flagship One Flourish to Burn, that he had spotted neutral activity in the open at which point our fleet made full sail to the nearest wormhole that would provide entrance to where the targets were located.

Upon entering the system we found the targets to be on the wormhole to high security space and engaged them there for lack of a better option. As they all jumped out a Navy-issued Caracal landed several kilometers off of the wormhole. Our Stratios cruisers made short work of the vessel, but the pilot's escape pod slipped away.

Many of the modules remained intact within the wreckage and they were of some value.

What followed were immediate accusations of piracy on the part of the Company by the captain of the destroyed vessel whose unmitigated stupidity was highly entertaining for those of us involved. The commander of the fleet was the first to receive communications from our most recent victim.

An EVE mail from the idiot:

[ 2014.05.11 00:26:00 ] Torshawna > the fact that you are idiots, doesn't hurt my feelings

Some post facto intelligence gathering has yielded the following gems: a little behind-the-scenes write-up by the pilot's acquaintance as well as a conversation between the pilot of the Navy Caracal and his more experienced, but vastly more impoverished friend.

In accordance with policies a priori zero shits have been given over this incident and all butthurt has been collected to be used as ballast for our vessels.
