Edited by: Swatyy on 06/10/2009 14:28:55 I have for your viewing pleasure a mildly entertaining story of Corporation drama, an assault on a superior officer, and the resulting expulsion of a low-life (that would be me) for dishonorable conduct popping a friendly Harbinger.
Straight to the "Good Stuff(TM)": Video Log [YouTube.com] Convo Log [Blogger.com]
As many are probably aware, PIE is among the oldest and most respected RP corps in New Eden, in which I had the honor to serve for the last couple months. A week ago, an officer named Hiigaren decided to get cute and accuse me of trying to kill him. Tbh, I was fine with this arrangement. I told him that I really didn't know who he was, but I was happy to oblidge and we left things there.
Those of you who follow my video releases [Youtube.com] know I'm somewhat agressive on the battlefield and most certianly a glory hound. This seemed like a great opportunity to stir up some dust, but in a fun way. So I began hunting Hiig.
The problem is that, for all his mouth, Hiig really doesn't get out much. But I knew I would get an opportunity last weekend when CVA was leading a fleet to Amarr to honor the Empress. My locater agent put Hiig in Amarr, so I setup a login trap.
Execution was textbook. Hiig undocked, the trap sprung and I burned down his Harbinger. It was a complement that Hiig had used my exact fit, though he apparently went AFK the moment he undocked (so he claims). I am amused he left auto-target engaged, but no return fire was unsatisfying.
I figured things would be kept between us, but it wasn't long before Admiral RodJ convo'ed for an explanation. The brass wasn't impressed with my argument and Hiig has friends among the higher-ups, so I here I am without a corp.
In all honesty, I had a great time getting expelled. Tracking individual pilots is something I haven't done in a long time (successfully, anyway). And this whole incident is going to make a great character blog entry, a key event in Swatyy's sorted history.
I have sincere goodwill toward the (mostly) friendly membership that make up PIE, and hope to find myself fighting by their side for the Amarr again in the future. Except for Hiig, of course. He and I still have it going on. The future will be fun.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
by the way log on traps is considered as an exploit by CCP if it's proven that it was intentional, and your video/post sort of proves that

I used to think I took EvE too seriously, but your video calmed my fears and reminded me that I still have a long way to go.

This thread failed to deliver.
You popped one officer, not officers plural. Apparently he wasn't even shooting back, and as far as I can tell there was no real reason to kill him.
So, pretty low marks on the drama score and the good fights score. The ship lost wasn't an amazing expensive loss, so....?
Could have been condensed to "I blew up an afk corpmate in a cheap ship and got booted"

"This story was amusing" Honestly i respect (PIE Inc) alot and it is well deserved. But swatyy you were limiting your self by being apart of that organization.
Think about how many more targets are now available to you. yeah some may call randomly destroying any ship you see as piracy. But its realy a life-style = )
Its time to move on to bigger and better things...

Edited by: Gaven Lok''ri on 07/10/2009 04:40:43 This will be the only PIE response to this, and is only necessary because of this little trite nonsense: "Hiig has friends among the higher-ups." Despite it all, until I read that I thought somewhat decently of you.
Cause and effect is something worth learning. If you think that the reason you were booted immediately was because "Hiig has friends with the higher ups" you are decidedly lacking in that particular ability to reason, or you are simply trying to cast yourself in the best light possible rather than admit that there might be a reason that you got kicked because of this little idiocy.
The reason you were booted immediately was that you acted like a pirate rather than acting like an Amarrian in handling a dispute and that you treated a corpmate like an enemy. We are an RP organisation, and actions have immediate and direct consequences. You dishonor PIE and the empress and you prove yourself untrustworthy as a corpmate, and you get the fast way to finding a new corp.
You chose to use a log in trap to attack a fellow member. You did so in a public setting during a public event and in the public eye.
You then publicized it.
If you had chosen to arrange a duel with Hiigaren over your dispute with him, then we probably would have ignored it. Or, at the least, the hammer would have come down equally on both of you.
But instead you made the decision to treat a corpmate like a wartarget to be shot at the next opportunity. And you chose to make the next opportunity the most inappropriate one possible in IC terms.
The vote to remove you was unanimous. If you are capable of treating a corpmate as a war target in the context of a celebration for the Empress, then you are also fully capable of treating a corpmate as a wartarget in the context of the war.
What if your first opportunity had been in the context of an engagement with the enemy? You were willing to do it in the middle of a PIE fleet honoring Jamyl, so you obviously have no moral qualm with disrupting your corporation's activity for your own petty dispute.
It has just about nothing to do with Hiigaren, and everything to do with how you handled a dispute with a fellow pilot in the single least professional and most disruptive way I have ever seen any pilot in PIE handle such a dispute.

Your right, Gaven. I made an implication that the decision wasn't fair, and that's a misrepresentation; it wasn't intentional. I made it pretty clear in my character blog (before the fact) and then in corp chat (after the fact) that I alone am responsible for the mess I was about to and did cause.
For what it's worth, I think leadership handled the matter well. And I think highly of PIE and it's people. The last two months have been among the most enjoyable in all my time in New Eden. I'm fond of the saying, "lets roll the dice and see what shakes out." Well, I played too aggressively and hit snake eyes this time.

QFT! That should have been the subject of this thread!

Yes, but was it not entertaining? I'm going to open myself up to a lot of flack for saying this, but that was my very first video blog. And I had a blast making it. Even the haters in the room who weren't impressed by the story at least got their jollies by poking fun at how "sad" I am.

Thanks for the hate and the love. Remember, internet spaceships is damn serious business! See you all in space. \o/

You clearly fail to grasp the point. This is precisely why it's so f'ing hilarious.

Wow, guess it's a good thing that's what he uses it for then, isn't it?
