At least now, I won't be questioned for running an empty pod. I cannot afford that shit, and the 1st rule is don't fly what you cannot afford to lose.

Beautiful fight today. They were warping cynabals, sfi, scimmies, lach and some misc shit around the station onto us. I flew a keres which was super fucking hard but I'm actually really pleased with how well I flew it. Unfortunately at first we were using random trash ships like an omen, thorax and nado because we suck and threw away a free oracle kill which is what solar rageformed for in the first place. Once we reshipped into 2x oracle, merlin and keres we were able to damp out their recons, isolate shit from logis and apply facemelting dps on their cruisers. Cynabal escaped in structure twice, first time when vov ran into a scram ferox, second time when chris ran out of scorch range as it was about to pop. Their ishtar wasn't so lucky, he got isolated away from scimmies and gallente tech 2 is not a fan of EM damage. Unfortunately they reshipped into mass inties and we lost an oracle but outnumbered about 8 to 1 we did a great job and while the keres was fucking hard to fly I am really pleased with how it went. I felt able to stay on field and manage it although it was a colossal handful working on positioning etc constantly and lock range was a surprisingly big issue.

Ok just finished my interview. There were many people of the CCP team there. Fozzie was in attendance, but no Rise.

They asked me some random questions, however I had a huge face palm moment.

Fozzie: What are the 4 T1 minny ships?
Me: Stabber, Scythe, Rupture.... and... (Second or two passes)
Fozzie:... the ewar cruiser?
Me: Belicose! Jeez, how could I forget lol
CCP team: Chuckles

So that was pretty fail. Then they just asked me some other random interview, and personality questions. I did get a good reponse. They asked me what my commentary style is. And I told them that it is informative, and theoretical. I like analyzing both teams strengths and weaknesses. I said that I notice many times, commentators going really off topic when a match is really lobsided, and is over for the most part. I further went on to explain that I feel this is a travesty, because EvE PvP is so complex- that no matter what is going on in the short match time, there is always something to be disecting.

That comment recieved many positive reviews.

The last part of the interview was picking a random AT match and commentating it with a CCP employee. I chose Fozzie to commentate with me. We did a dry run of a match and that was the end! I feel that was the strongest part of my interview process.

I am still blown away that I forgot about the fucking bellicose with a really simple on the spot question.

Pretty sure that blew the interview for me.

I will know next week if I made it.

On the other hand, I was wearing a nice blazer, and button up- so perhaps that can push me over the sexiness edge

I don't think the fact that you have a brain fart on the name of the 4th Minmatar cruiser which is rarely used is going to affect your overall impression.

Kil2 here, I'd like to set some facts straight for you:

Fact - I have access to statistics that you don't and that I won't show you. #dealwithit
Fact - Bellicoses are used by a lot of people for everything from industry all the way to elite pvp (supercap fights). I italicized the word 'lot' to imply some huge number, and that's all the information you need.
Fact - My partner Raivi will now set you straight.

Hi all, Raivi here to talk about ongoing concerns over the state of pvp balance.

Someone unfamiliar with the Bellicose, virtually the backbone of EVE, is in no way fit to cast a pvp-only event with arbitrary (sometimes ludicrous) rules that almost always preclude the possibility of cruisers being optimal. Additionally, the fact that we basically never see cruisers in AT is a strong indication that cruisers are not OP. As a corollary to that conclusion, we can see that power creep disappears in a puff of logic.

-Added 400m/s base speed to every ship in the game.

Hidden managed to get his deimos alphaed from half armour while apparently flying perfectly at 20km with max transversal by an arty nado. Skeptics remain confused by how the nado tracked such perfect piloting. In other news Hidden was also cursed with literally the only vagabond in eve that isn't cap stable with mwd. Unfortunately for him he was mwding away from SFIs and ran out of cap and they caught him and killed him. It's worth noting at this point that the SFIs were non injected and had no cap mods fit, furthermore they had invulns and were longpointing him. The nature of the sabotage on his vagabond that led to it being slower than unlinked SFIs while linked and having worse cap than SFIs while not running an invuln or using warp disruptor is still unclear. All we know is that somehow they ran him down and neuted him out and that I shouldn't keep asking him such difficult questions.

As a fagabond pilot, I am saddend by the fact that one of the most horrible variations to the stabber hull, killed the most elegant

So sad,

Much Shield SFI

Hey, did you guys know that you can hire me, Calanthe, to babysit the mission sites you're camping while you sleep for the low, low price of 10b? KwarK didn't know that until recently!

So I bumped into God's Apple in some weird RR Myrmidon gang (Geckos anyone?), like 4 Myrms and an Augoror. Then I later bumped into a Caldari FW gang, like 7 Ospreys, 5 Caracals, 3 Ruptures, Maller, Omen, Vexor. There was also a Goonswarm gang next door with 5 Scythes, a lot of Stabbers, Cynabal, ScFy, etc. Did we fight this? Yep, and here's how it went down.

I convoed God's Apple and asked if they'd be interested to fight the Caldari FW gang. He was interested so I proceeded to harass the 18 man gang with a super scary Stiletto. It seemed to work as they camped the Vlillirier gate in Oicx waiting for me to reship, come back and die. Meanwhile God's Apple's gang burned over and met the Goonswarm gang. Serg and I quickly reshipped to Ishtars. I took the longest since I was coming from another system so by the time I landed it was pretty much over.

...unfortunately a lot of them got away. We proceeded to line up the next fight and purposely jumped into the Caldari FW gang.

As soon as we uncloaked one of their Myrms goes into structure and almost dies, barely catching reps at the last second. (Keep in mind Myrms don't get repair range bonuses, so they practically have to hug each other to stay alive and we started the fight far from each other.)
The Myrms went after their dps while Serg and I chased their logi around. For a tense couple seconds it was a stalemate until Serg and I got our sentry drones properly set up. Enemy Vexor and Omen goes down. Serg catches a stray logi and I proceed to catch my own logi a couple seconds later, and the enemy fleet falls apart. Ships that aren't pointed start to run away and ships that are pointed try to crash the gate. The logi I had pointed is one of the lucky ones and manages to gate crash and get out. We spend a minute mopping up and the Myrm pilots start congratulating themselves.

I begin to loot the field with a fellow neutral Comet. Despite us both being suspect neither of us bother to shoot each other since I wouldn't be able to catch him and he wouldn't be able to kill me. It was a good thing I didn't shoot him for fun because as soon as I finished looting the gate flashed and a lone Proteus decloaked beside me and scrammed me. I jumped through and... are34 in local with a decently sized armor tech3 gang. Hm, I'm suspect from looting and 15km from the Proteuses.

While I'm holding cloak and contemplating my eventual gruesome death, the Comet comes into local (probably sat there and also got scrammed by the bait Proteus). Instead of warping off the Comet tries to burn away and is immediately scrammed by the Proteuses and webbed by the Lokis. I don't understand why but I don't care. Taking this opportunity I click warp out. As I'm almost aligned I see everything yellow box me.... but I'm gone! Success!
