Day 2 - Celebrity, Setbacks and OMGAZNS!
Before I begin this day's journal, I'd just like to announce that I appear to be famous. Well, semi-famous. Kind of like that one guy from Survivor. You know, the second one to get voted off. YOU KNOW, the one with the face and the thing. Anyway, you'd recognize him if you met him. Anyway, I'm like that guy now. People say, "Hey, did you really make 2 billion ISK in Eve University?" Yes, yes I did.
Remember Leikeze? He tells me, "Hey, you wrote about me in your blog?" Hooray, you're almost as famous as me now. You're like the brother of the second guy who got voted off the island. Now you can do an infomercial.
Sometimes people (and there's a word for these people that starts with an 'N' and rhymes with 'goob') say, "Are you out here pirating?" Nope. Go about your business.
I can't even buy ammunition without the guy who sold it to me saying, "Hey, I just read your blog." Sweet, gimme a discount next time.
Anyway, time to get over myself for long enough to chronicle my harrowing adventures. And today's adventures WERE harrowing. I lost my first ship. Yes, my favorite interceptor, "They Also Are Flesh" was destroyed by rats, working in conjunction with my internet service provider. I was only offline for about 2 minutes, but it was two minutes too long for my baby.
The good news is that a) there was a station in the system, so I could dock and get myself a noobship and b) only one very minor module and a little bit of ammo was destroyed in the explosion. But it forced me to spend more money. First, I had to replace the ship I lost. Then, I bought another Crow for good measure (the prices just couldn't be beat). And to make sure I wouldn't have to creep up on the gate in an Ibis anymore, I also dropped the cash for the Placid bookmarks.
But that isn't to say that I didn't have a bit of fun. As you'll note from my greatly diminished Security Status, I got my very first podkill. I know, I said I wouldn't do that, but I feel justified. Lookit him. Someone needs more fiber in his diet.
Hey, I TRIED to ransom the guy, but he didn't have anything ... at least, I assume he didn't have anything, because his name was "koopl" and he was flying a Hoarder working with guys flying noobships, mining for all that they were worth:
OMGAZNS!! You'll note that koopl isn't in local anymore. That's because his frozen corpse was tucked into a corner of my cargo hold. I think I'll have him stuffed.
Anyway, I don't know if they're Chinese ISK farmers or if someone with a bunch of processor power is trying to get over on the system without risking his own character. I don't like it, and so I did something about it. Destroying a few thousand units of ore just wasn't enough. He just had to die. Plus, unless this guy thought to put his industrial character's clone nearby, he's going to have a long hump from Minmatar space. So yeah, a good time was had by all. And by all, I mean me.
We come in peace, shoot to kill.
UPDATE: And SPEAKING of Asians, it looks like Goonswarm is having a ball. They've created what I'm sure they're referring to as "Gookswarm": A horde of new characters, all named "VCBeeXXX" where XXX is a random number. These guys, I'll be leaving alone ... mostly because I kind of like Goonswarm. They're playing Eve in their own way, and it's pissing off all of the established alliances in a big way. You gotta dig that.
Apparently, Goonswarm has declared war on all of the big local alliances. The best outcome I can see for this would be for the Goons to lose all of their territory. Then they'd decide that they don't NEED territory, and they'd just swarm all over other people's sovereign space until their enemies get sick of being pestered 23/7 and the alliance falls apart. Chaos for the win!!
