Many of you may recognize my name, some may have known or flew with me as an ally, some may have been on the wrong end of my guns. Those just recently watching may not have ever heard of me. I am Rual Storge.
The beginning: I first made my appearance being accepted to the second phase beta. I soon found flying alone was rather... lonely... and happened across a corperation run by a pilot "Mixmaster" We flew together mined and NPC hunted as a joined unit. It wasn't long before the game went live.
Once EVE went live me and Mix has prearranged to join forces and start off running. The corp was Infinicorp. Things took off fairly well and we made alot of friends around our area in Nonni. Mining in our bantams with "Birtha" one of the first Badgers flown we were an industrial power that could hardly be rivaled. I in the time was far ahead of several of the others due to my extensive playing time each day and was proudly zipping around in my rifter as the corperations industrial director.
It wasn't long though til I learned the joy of PvP. In Beta we had been attacked unprovoked by a corperation named "Spectral Armada" When EVE went live and I got my rifter I began hurassing and attacking SA anywhere and everywhere I could find them. I was not alone though as they had made many enemies.
soon enough I kept doing mining ops and was the proud owner of a Arbitor. and one of the few pilots in the galaxy capable of hunting 50K NPCs effciently on my own. However war broke out between us and M0o as well as us and Space Invaders. Scirmishes happened daily in the Nonni area ships were lost on both sides. I however managed not to lose my ship while striking kills until fighting one on one with Tank CEO in his MOA (in my MOA) my nuetorons couldn't touch the damage of artillery at the time.
The corp continued to expand and grow until one day while helping kill pirates in EC-P8R a mishap happened and an inoccent pilot was destroyed by me, Robotek, and Sparticus.
As a shock in time a friend of that pilot joined our corp and became one of our more loyal members as well as we talked to the NVA (whom the pilot belonged) and ended up joining.
I participated in many a lagful battle with the NVA against FE and scored many a kill. I lost a few ships but it was all in good fun. In time the NVA transformed to the PA partly on my particiaption in the discussions over what to do about Jade.
With the PA I flew through war after war and made kill apon kill losing only a handful of ships in the process. Being noted as probably the first real "Gankaggeddon".
However things took a sudden turn for the worse when our CEO "Mixmaster" decided he was leaving EVE but wanted to keep the corp (my thought is to Ebay it all) and stole all our rights to our hangers. luckily one of our loyal members was a friend of mix and while we were grabbing what little we could to move on our own by force of this move Mix gave me accesses as orignaly planned. However the ball had rolled too far so we kept the move over and Infinicorp became Battlestars under my own and Dredd's leadership.
Our corp eventualy left the PA over discrepencies between our entire corp and a few members of the PA that dragged on and on until we had had enough. We left the PA and held in empire til we got an invitation to join so of our friends and long term enemies in the Curse Alliance. It was weird at first knowing I would be part of the same alliance with pilots I had grown to dispise as rivals on the darkside. However I liked the idea of being curse as they were a respectable alliance more in our time zone.
It didn't take long to realize my "Enemies" in curse were not disimliar from me and I easily over came my differences and even joked about "old times" and battles.
Now booming with lvl 5 large beam specialist more then 7.8 mil gunnery skills and having the pride to say there is no one with higher gun skills capable of dealing more damage then me I find my self biding for shiva. What I will face I do not know, but I am ready. This is the history of an old Beta war horse, still playing, and will continue to play.

Yeah, those are fond memories...
I met Mix in beta as well, and was a member of Infinicorp upon release of the game...
I remember Tinker Bell, and arguing with Setec from SI...
I remember Liahaun podkilling me when I tried to afk mine in an Indy for the first (and last) time... AFK mining during a corp war, silly me
I remember when Setec infiltraded our corp chat using an alt named nistalka, and Rual, Myself(WhiteDwarf at the time), Mix & WarPig got caught with our pants down when the entire SI corp flew 40 some jumps to try and gank us out in some dead end 0.0 system which name is long forgotten. (they got one Moa for their troubles...)
The game has come a long way, but it is fun to look to the past for memories...

I think my fondest two memories was one flying with Evilbear (thorax), Sparticus (I can't remember I want to say it was an rupture, or a MOA) and myself (geddon) we were trying to ambush this group called "Red Snappers" who had jumped one of our guys and found ourselves sitting with 3 BS and a cruser from another corp doing the same thing only we ended up pitted against one another. We walked out with no loses 2 BS kills and one guy who barily managed to MWD outta the grid to save himself... was just amusing cause no one knew what was going on.
The other was back in the days of Jump in Points and stacking damage mods I used to fly with 8 of the best heatsinks in my lows and 3 - 4 mega beams. (Took me roughly 2 volleys to kill a tanked ship in those days) I got ambushed by a biomass fleet befor eI even knew who they were and managed to kill two of their Battleships (scorp and raven) as well as a thorax before they got me with them ambushing me on jump in :P (I also managed to self destruct rather then be destoryed so no loot for em eigther. Coarse I don't think even one of the guys there still plays anymore... but I only knew like two of the guys I killed the others I've long forgotten the names.
and the Nistalka thing ****ed me off like wou wouldn't beleive. he had people all over forums talking like we had booted some inoccent joe and we turned around about two weeks later and proved his guilt through his own mistakes. I hated setec with a pashion he always butted in and tried to make me into some sorta misfit criminal. nice to see you're still playing BTW.

I remember you, I also remember an infamous thread (not sure who started it) where you and Setec were fighting it out on the forums. Then you got owned when he posted chatlogs that he got off his spy alt, which effectively showed you lying your ass off to your own members about scoring kills which never happened. May not be a nice memory, but thats the only memory your name brings to me.
Oh, and the first real gankageddon was probably Sassinak, on the test server just before the lasers got upgraded on TQ a few patches ago. _____________________________________ Perpetually driven, your end is our beginning. "Can I be a consultant for EVE II?" - WhiteDwarf |

This is my first post in forever as I have been away from this game for almost 9 months. I am the last of my corp. Some of us still play either on differnet accounts or in different corps. I will soon leave space invaders and join another corp.
The point of my post is that, even though I have been away for 9 months I am about to catch you on gunnery Rual. Hold your title for a bit but I already have 7 mil gunnery skill points 24 precepetion and 25 will power will bring me to the 8 mil point soon.
Enjoyed the fights with you in the old days. I think we got a black bird of yours once while you were scouting the area. It was a lucky shot that criticaled your ship 2x in a row. And one time you took down my shields in 3 shots (dual MWD) no armor dmg.
Keep having fun matey

When I read a thread like this I almost start crying.
Left eve months ago, trying to return for the exodus. Been in beta, and now almost anything is lost, due to the lack of training.
It's kinda a snowball... you leave a game due to boredom and work (currently working 12h a day) and then you loose what has been your goal for quite some time.
I have to say I'm sad. But let's see what happens. _______________________________________________

you must mean the imfamous "chat-logs" that were highly editted and only contained part truths as well as where he editted in commentary like me shooting at him and putting in "never happened" and so on and so forth? The one that had been looked at and we busted a few of setec's editorials on situations through game logs and such?
And I didn't say no one had more skill points in gunnery I'm just saying there is no one that can deal more damage then me. As I have maxed skills in the weapon of choice of my own in a ship setup as such.
I also said I was "probably" he first gankaggedon and I'm not talking the kiddy sissy version we got now I'm talking back in the days of jamming in 8 skadis and a trio of mega beams to surpass the damage that 8 tachyons could do 10 fold.
I also like how I make one post to just go over a history thing cause I had overseen one a friend had pointed to me thought it was neat and so decided to follow suit as I'm a long time player. Yet of coarse being a long time player I should have known better then to both in the flame fest that is the eve-online forums.
Anyway I just was putting out something I thought a few people would find interesting not something people would go J00 suX 4nD n33d g0!
And yes I remember getting my Dual MWD'd BB nailed. I was firing off missiles into drone out of boredom again and again and came in at the wrong angle at the wrong time and was duely artilleried to a pulp (pod survived) but that B took a nasty hit. Don't think I was fling gankaggedon those days. I think I was flying the you can't stop me from gettin away so I ambush your scorpions and lesser ships - aggedon. Simply because everyone was using least 2 stabs and the Geddon has no spare ports for scramblers anyway.
All in all I've fought many a good fight with a number of pilots who have my respect (not setec though, I attacked him in venal he ran, said it never happened, I ran into along the route to venal. Which I can't remember wether I was coming or going and we fought breifly but not once do I think me or setec ever delieved a kill on the other. honestly I'm trying to remember if we even dug into one another hull ever... Been far too long...)
I honestly would like to see more players put a player history up. Reading some pilot's past experiences really gives you a insight on them and in times makes you respect what hardships they've gone through.

It's nice to reminiscence but the overall style of flow and the shortness of your story make it a not very good trip down memory lane.
If you want to make a good post you have to read it over a couple of times and make changes because it just doesn't flow very well nor is it very coherent.
