Yes you were, until I realized that it would be a waste of a wish since it'll be granted pretty much immediately.
what have I done to you
also why would it be granted immeidately, sard only killed me once and it was cause some dumb new guy told me to warp to a gate cause it was clear when there was actually a big fleet landing.
Mummbleskates, you should really post your credentials (ie killmail links) to backup your talk. Without it you just look like another internet stalker to be honest. My forum name is the same as my eve name if you want to giggle at my ineptness on evekill.
I am pretty sure that Kwark has told me to not fly a harb since it's not a Drake .
Seriously though Mumbles, you kind of have to tell people what your name is ingame so people know that you are not another anon player who thinks he is the best player in the world. I don't see how it can be such a big secret what your pilots name is.
I think you fail to understand how great the nano is for people that can't fly all V'd battleships.
As Day9 said: If you want to be good at starcraft 2 you need to practice one build order over and over again. The Hatchery do the same but with nano. It has a high skill cap and a pretty high entry level but it's very rewarding when fighting bigger targets.
You don't go brawl with 3 drakes and 2 rifters vs 5 battleships. But you will always engage them if you can kite. I find it kinda fun that many older pilots regard this as "cheese". I say that it doesn't matter. A kill is a kill, adapt.
Also being on training ops with kwark where he is slowboating and declaring people dead when they get close enough or fighting huge carrier supported blobs with no chance of killing anything just for training is really fun. (Unless you lose a rapier )

Don't get hung up on the little details. You need to look at the big picture. And keep looking. I'll leave this here.

Come back, our killboard efficiency is doing too well atm, we need you to lose a few curses to station/gatecamps we've scouted.
I'm sorry, I just feel I have to respond to some of the things Mumbleskates said in his last post. I'm completely ignoring the stuff regarding Thorax's and trolling because I don't know much about Thoraxes and don't want to get involved in the trolling. However, the stuff regarding our fleet composition is...well, contradictory.

You should know by now who is who and what they tend to bring, and you should be able to have eyes and scouts to see local counts and d-scans off gates before you engage. The fact that you don't want to find out what you're up against doesn't mean you can't, or that it isn't easy, or that it won't save you reams of stupid, avoidable lossmails.
We've lived in MH for a while and actually, we DO know who is who and what they tend to bring. We have scouts everywhere as well etc. What have we learned about this? There is NO WAY we can win a brawl fight against these guys - they will ALWAYS be able to escalate further than us, they will easily outnumber our battlecruisers with the number of logi's they have, and will always rape the numerous newbies in our corp with <4m SP before they can do anything. Nano allows us to engage shit that we would otherwise diaf to.
You seem perfectly content with your current quality of engagement, and to be frank I'm fine with it too. The worse you do, the better everyone else, myself included, looks in comparison. The groups I have flown with have always endorsed various and creative play and never-before-seen fittings that have any chance of working out, as long as they don't result in stupid losses. Many of them have gotten us great kills that we never would have otherwise gotten, or prevented losses we would otherwise have suffered. I wish that everyone could play the game like this, but I suppose someone will always be gun-fodder with predictable tactics.
The worse we do = 85% efficiency? 2x number of ships killed as lost (with 80% of our losses being rifters)?
We don't do the 'never-before-seen fits', but 'gotten us great kills that we never would have otherwise gotten, or prevented losses we would otherwise have suffered' describes what we do PERFECTLY. You can read about many of our kills and a good deal of them would not have been doable if we weren't nanoing, and the same goes for many of our non-existant losses. I am not saying that there aren't other fleet tactics that would achieve similar results, but we have chosen this path and we do not plan to make a mass-strategy-switch in The Hatchery when none of us have the skillpoints for it any time soon.
I am usually quite gm etc but it just seems as though you have a very skewed view of what we do...in all honesty I can't even decide if you're trolling anymore.
Kwark, I never did any PvP in EvE and never had to used the fleet finder before - yes, even after 2 months. You are too harsh. I just enjoy being in the corp even if I only PvE
You can still be a community member through the SCBW channel. If all the corp is to you is a chat window then you'll still see us all in that chat. You spent over two months in the corp and still didn't have any idea about the most basic stuff which is in the bulletins, such as putting local chat in its own window so you could use it to see what is happening in local. I don't kick people from corp for being terrible at eve, 90% of people start that way and 99% of people outside the the hatchery never progress from it. I kicked you for showing no signs of wanting to improve, of wanting to be a member of our fleets. The fact you didn't know how to use fleet finder is not the problem, the problem is that after 2 months of being in corp you haven't been in a fleet. The fact that you typed "Okay, I'm in fleet now" in the local chat with the people we were trying to bait isn't the problem, the problem is you had no idea local chat was any different to corp/fleet chat.
The reason you don't know these things is because you don't want to know. 2 months is more than long enough to grasp the things you get told about on day 1.

my bad, that was pretty bad by me tbh considering that he only had 1000 structure left, however im not sure why Karah always flys hookbills instead of ships that can actaully do dps.

Hookbills can actually do some healthy DPS for a frig. Not enough for something with a real tank, but easily enough to crush support type ships, cruiser and down, fairly quickly.
