Yep, this is probably the funniest thing I've seen in EVE all day, especially as I was the culprit!
I spent literally all day doing trading runs, and managed to get up to 24mil (I'm a really new player). Then there was a great deal on Slaves - and I thought I wouldn't have too much trouble and if I got caught I'd pay the fine.
Anyway, I was going from Amarr to Jita and was 2 jumps away from the destination when I got caught. The box popped up asking me to hand over the slaves. My ship was about to hit warp, so I thought I'd go for it! I got away and through the next gate.
However, I did not realise that they take the fine right away! 12mil down already, and then I was caught again at the next gate! This is when I hit -1.2mil and just headed straight for Jita.
I managed to free up some assets so that I could sell the slaves and now I'm back up to 7mil...
But this is why I love EVE. I spent all day gathering up that money only to lose it in the space of a couple of minutes. Merciless and unforgiving! I love it! (Maybe I'm a masochist, but to me that means true sandbox)

Welcome to EVE.
And I'm glad that you enjoy it all. Both the bad and the bad'er (I know) parts of EVE.

Funny story and a good attitude!
Next time you get caught:
Ignore the police popup, approach gate so you are in jumping distance, click no then immediately jump :P ~~~

+1!
As others have already pointed out, it's refreshing to see a new player actually enjoying the game. You get burned, you bounce back and make a ****load of ISK in the process. And then repeat the cycle!

Originally by: Mintala Arana Edited by: Mintala Arana on 04/06/2011 19:18:18 +1, because you played this welly.
No'Mak was born 2010-02-06, so not very new ...
Yeah, I'm only just coming up to the 1mil mark on SP though. I opened an account over 3 years ago and played the trial but didn't have enough money to pay for a subscription. I played again last year very briefly but RL called. Now I have the time to play and am getting stuck in! That's my life story and explains the RL age of the character :)
The game gives just what I was looking for, and that was a challenge. In so many other games you can do all kinds of crazy stuff with no consequences, but in EVE... well I learnt my lesson that's for sure ;)

Well, +1 for getting right back on the horse if it's true, and +1 for a really good scam (I bet at least a couple of folks sent you isk or other goods) if it's not.

Haha thanks! But I can assure you it really isn't a scam. If it was there would be more exclamation marks and empty promises ;)
I can understand the suspicion though. Any entry into Jita and you leave having blocked about 5 people haha.

That's just plain unlucky! At least mine was out of sheer stupidity!

+1 for not only having the right attitude, but making a net profit out of the situation. I'm sure the isk people have given you far exceeds 10m. --------------------------------- Pillage, then burn. Everything is air-droppable at least once. There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload.
