Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 22:40:00 - [1] I was mining in Unpas with my two characters. My main industry character who is non-combat, and my Caldari combat guy. I was dumping stuff into a jetcan from my miner then immedietly scooping it into my Caldari's Badger. To make sure it wouldn't disappear I had a single light missile in the jetcan so I could scoop ore. So this guy in a Rifter drives over and steals the missile. I ignored him and put out another to resume scoop mining. He steals that one too then sets out his own jetcan calling me a noob. I warped off with my Badger, got my Caracal and equipped it with assault missiles, webber, scram, painter, etc. Came back, webbed and scrammed him and proceeded to pound him into tiny little bits and pieces. It felt great. He dropped a bunch of stuff too. If I can figure out how to use the killboard, I'm going to try to post the kill. >.> Anyway. Here's the killmail. 2009.08.20 00:13:00 Victim: gordon rivas Corp: Taking .

Anyway. Chalk up the first kill for the Tiger Pack. ^^
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 22:45:00 - [2] -.- What?
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 22:52:00 - [3] Well, it's likely not important to you judging by your reply. It doesn't have to be -important- to anyone else, just me. It's a big step foward for me in the game. There's still a lot that I need to learn about EVE but at least this time I can feel secure about being able to handle myself in some situations. It's my first PVP kill. I'm proud of it. And thanks for the congrats.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:01:00 - [4] Yeah, it was pretty dang exciting. ^^ Annnnd.. I'll remove the killmail. I didn't know it wasn't allowed. I apologize. (If I could figure out the killmail board, I'd put it there. -.-)
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:06:00 - [5] Well, I posted here because 1.) I wanted to embarass the guy publicly. Annnnd.. 2.) My friend Liitar taught me .. literally everything I know about PVPing and gave me some strategies on how to deal with small, fast ships after I lost my Caracal a few days ago to a flipper. (By the way Liitar, I JUST chased off another guy doing the same thing. He didn't die, but he and I talked for a few minutes. He was surprised I'm using a target painter. ^^) And I basicly wanted to say thanks to Liitar for being really nice and giving advice to a noob like me. :)
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:16:00 - [6] Thanks pal. ^^ I appreciate it.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:24:00 - [7] Originally by: Rilwar Grats on a 1st kill =) Also; Here's the URL to BattleClinic's Killboard main page If you lose it, you can always re-find it @ the bottom left corner of the page, "Site Map" is the 3rd link on the 3rd line. Yeah, see I think I signed up for it.. but it says this: >.> Character Type Next attempt ? Position ? Status Actions Day+Tiger char Pending 0 902 Remove It's been like that since yesterday. I think maybe I did something wrong.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:26:00 - [8] Thanks guys. I definetly had a big glass of Pepsi to celebrate the kill. ^^ It feels good.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:38:00 - [9] Originally by: Rilwar You added your API Key to the site, hence that error. The API server is down ATM, so that will be there. The text box above where you entered your API information, the one right above "After submitting: return to this page. view the killmail. " Just copy/paste the KM into that box and slap submit, you don't need to sign up or anything, the API feature just lets the board pull your kills and post them for you. I knew I messed something up. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=7543345 Am I allowed to sumit the killboard link? >.> Thanks Lexa! ^^ I'm still feeling pretty high on my kill. I keep secretly hoping some other frigate or destroyer tries to steal my jetcan contents so I can blow 'em up. If I keep thinking like this, I'm going to lose a lot more ships methinks. ^^
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.20 23:54:00 - [10] -.-
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.21 00:24:00 - [11] looks at Liitar nervously But.. but.. I like being a carebear. >.> Although the lure of killing ships is strong.. twitch
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.21 00:57:00 - [12] Meh. I don't get it, but I'll assume it's at my expense and have a laugh anyway. Cheers.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.21 13:46:00 - [13] Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words from everyone. ^^ Yeah, it was really exciting. A fist-pump moment at the end when his ship exploded. My heart sort of dropped because I thought he'd escaped. Despite my web he was still fast enough to get out beyond my scram range. So when he disappeared, at first I thought he'd warped. But then I saw the explosion and his pod. I don't even feel bad about killing a frigate either. Mainly because he had so many 'named' items on his ship. I figure if he's rich enough to buy all that, he's rich enough to buy a new ship.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.21 18:36:00 - [14] Originally by: Die Warzau Quote: got my Caracal and equipped it with assault missiles This was the point at which you won this fight. ^^ It was Liitar's idea to equip assault missiles and a target painter. Until he told me about painters, I didn't even know they existed. -.- There's a lot to learn in this game.
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.21 20:18:00 - [15] Since some folks have been reading this, I'll ask for a piece of advice as well. ^^ Would it be worth the investment to get a 'named' target painter? Would it make a big enough difference to justify spending half a million?
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.22 00:08:00 - [16] Oh no. I'll still carebear, I suppose. I doubt I could go full PVP with 20mil ISK and only 2mil skills. >.>
Pay Tiger	Posted - 2009.08.23 18:43:00 - [17] Well, the thing is. I wanted to run missions with my Caldari combat guy. The problem is that I haven't found an agent anywhere near Unpas that I can use with him. They all say unavailable. I still have my 'epic arc' mission, but it's like.. 14 jumps away from where all of my stuff is at.
