I was sitting in a belt, minding my own business, when a can-flipper comes and flips my can... Me, looking to have a little fun, not really caring about the outcome, decided to scramble him and send my cheap t1 drones in his direction... This is where it gets interesting...

See, my Hulk was set up for nullsec mining, and a pretty sweet setup it was. So when my drones went down in a blaze of glory, and he started to attack me in his "frigate" of all things, I just laughed... I laughed even harder when, after my shields recharged almost fully when he lost cap, he convos me and tells me "50 mill and I will let you live"... OH NOES! Needless to say, he was promptly told no.

This goes on for an hour, and the whole time he was having to hear the brunt of my smacktalk in local, not to mention the private convo... He had buddies there who were dropping off ammo for him because he was running through it like water, and you could tell he was frustrated... Yet the poor guy still had to live through the brunt of my smacktalk... "Is that all you got? You'll waste 50 million in ammo before you break my tank!", is just one of the insults he had to endure during this hour long ordeal... I could swear his buddies had to have been laughing at him in vent... One was brave enough to try and help him out, but the poor guy was promptly Concorded... Finally, in a pretty sweet move if I do say so myself, he had a buddy convo me to block the sceen for a second while he switched ships to something a little more powerful to FINALLY take my poor defenseless hulk down. I was impressed. I just wished he had done it sooner. I mean I did give him a chance to get my cap a little lower by starting to mine again while he attacked me, and I gave him a chance by taking a bio break and going to get chips. He didn't jump at that one for some reason.

What did I learn from this? He might have given up and called it a day if I wasn't in one of my rare, non-caring moods and not belittled his uber pirating skills by talking smack to him.. Also, it wasn't worth the price of the hulk isk-wise (I am going to have to do a lot of missioning and ratting to get another one!) to go after the little bit of scordite that was in the can. It was however, a whole lot of fun.

Please don't try this at home... Especially the mining while the pirate is trying to break your shield part. That must have irritated him to no end...

This is an interesting sad way of trying to maintain your internet dignity while losing a Hulk...
