Hi Mumbles! Thanks for responding.

In this game it can be hard to say no to those that want to participate. In this case, quite a few more BS pilots than necessary were eager to kill some EM exhumers. Thus, the gank commenced with several more ships than needed.

Glad you pointed this glaring disparity.

I was really raging hard today, in between the lack of targets in eve and my multiple games of SC2 against protoss, and when I saw that reply by mumbles it took me everything I had not to get myself banned.

Thanks sard for doing what I would have done in a not-that-exact-tone-kind-of-way.

From what I saw there has been plenty of activity in and around MH today, though admittedly I haven't been PvPing much at all. This is just from RANSM kb activity and those few chats I had w/ corpmates.

Were you really looking, or just waiting for stuff to happen?

There was some stuff happening, but we had enough scouting information to know that all of it would end terribly.

I just made my worst decision in EvE to date. I'm partly putting it down to it being 4am, and drinking since 2pm and so not being in the best decision making, and secondly to an overview bug.

Somebody called out that a rupture had aggressed them on station.. So I'm all like 'I got this bro'. Un-dock, Rupture is flashing red to me 40k away, I start burning away and putting some damage on it. Suddenly, Gate guns. This confused me for a good 5 seconds. I start trying to warp out, and somehow the rupture has me scrammed from a distance i can't remember. At this point, they bring in a Cane, Drake & Falcon. Michael, and some others were also around, but by this point i had no idea what was going on. Comms was a mess as we had no real fleet commander, and it was a gigantic fuckfail. I went down ungracefully, and tried to figure out wtf made me un-dock.

I think my days of flying a drake solo are still fairly far away, I'll stick to nanoing in fleets for a while.

Don't play when you've been drinking kiddies.

Are you sad because you lost a ship? Go lose 5 more :D . Soloing is some of the most fun and frustrating shit in EvE, but its the one thing, in my recollection, that gave me "the shakes". You'll only be able to tell what's a trap, and what's engageable, by experience.

(even while drunk)

Just don't get too hung up on KDR stats. That was my mistake ^^

Confirm theft, here is the freighter "full of faction ammo" that he stole.

That said, this could potentially have been very bad if he'd actually done it at a time when there was money on it.

Furthermore, there were a couple Orcas on the field as well, and rumor has it one of them was taken to 40% structure. Assuming this is true, they were actually a couple battleships light rather than a couple battleships overkill.

And even if not...overkill is the best kill.

Okay, long story short, some guy infiltrated our corp and somehow got the password to a freighter account torenhire loaned me. Not sure where he got the password yet but I don't intend to try too hard to find out because the few hours I spend thinking about it could more easily be spent earning back everything he took. As corp thefts go it was really pretty bad, most days when I'm moving ammo from hubs I have billions on it and on days when I'm buying that can go above 10, today, when he decided to strike, it had 0 ammo on it. I say this freely because I'm no longer going to use that account.
The reason he stole the freighter is because everything else in the corp is pretty locked down, corp assets remain entirely secure.

So, what total was lost, if any (excluding the freighter).

Nothing belonging to me, a few things of fairly low value (all lower than the freighter) of the original owners which I will reimburse.

I like how people think they've won something when they've missed about 1000% of what they could have gotten.

He paints you in a good light though Kwark
