I haven't posted a good thread in ummm... yeah I probably haven't posted a good thread ever.. So I thought it was about time I shared one of my stories. I'm going to try and do this without including chatlogs or killmails as those are against the rules (and a 6 month ban is just around the corner for me, I can feel it).
So, as many of you may or may not know I have multiple characters to play with. One of them is a hardened pirate the likes of which eve has seen quite a bit of (ie, im nothing special). Due to various random occurrences I haven't been able to log in with my corp buddies in quite some time and I suck at solo piracy, so I have been ratting my sec back up from -10 for what feels like an age (I'm sure Lexa will pipe up and tell you all exactly how long shortly) and I have finally made it back to around -4.8ish when this story occurred. So not flashy but not far off it.
My usual quite 0.0 space I use for ratting has recently been occupied by a fail corp. I know they are fail because they have a VERY long list of blues that like to run missions, and they also cant catch a single ratter in their home system. They were quite nice people however, and I didn't have a PvP fit (read point) within arms reach, so I decided after about a month of playing games with them (I figured they wouldn't last that long and move on) I cone jumped back in to lowsec. We live in a nice large lowsec pocket and I figured I could just keep popping BS rats around there for a bit and move on, no fear of bubbles and I have my PvP ships near at hand should I need them.
So im out ratting in a Nemesis (Yes Lexa, your fit, thanks!) and im doing quite well for myself. Getting to know the locals that have moved in while Ive been gone, stopping every now and then to swap ships and try and scan down a mission runner (hey, I can take a sec hit now and its still all good). Generally ****ing about..
I drop in to a system and see 1 person in system, hit the d-scanner and I see an Itty 3 and an Arby.. I figure either way this has got to be an easy kill and I quickly warp to the only belt in system in d-scanner range. I smack the scanner a few times on the way out and notice the Arby has vanished, I get to the belt and I see 1 dead BS rat and 2 drones getting shot at by the remaining rat cruisers.. OK, so at least I know what hes in.. Quick check and the guy is 15 days old.. I bounce around the belts and scan for a bit but the guy has docked.. So I go sit at a planet and wait cloaked up. Nothing else to do and by looking at the other belts, this guy is obviously chaining the BS rats.
So time passes, quite a bit of time. I see the Arby undock and narrow him down to a belt. Warp to the belt but he has warped off.. I chase him around belts for a bit but none of the rats have respawned so he doesn't stay in belts long enough for me to catch him and he eventually redocks.. Then I get a convo..
It turns out that while he was out looking for rats he used his D-scanner to see where I was and saw the same Itty 3 I saw. Unlike me, he makes the assumption thats what I'm in, and well, im in no position to argue as I am cloaked up waiting for him to undock.
We exchange pleasantries and have a bit more of a chat and I can tell this guy hasn't got a clue where he is or who hes talking to. I tell him im just managing a POS and hes safe as I don't have a ship that can fight. We chat about what we each do and I find out he's just ratting for ISK as the rest of his corp have been playing a lot longer than him and he needs to get his skills up before joining them. He tells me he thought I was a pirate (lol) but now he sees im not, so we have a chat about pirates and how they are evil people in real life. They he invites me on a ratting trip with him. He is worried about pirates so he would like to rat in a gang to scare them off.
Now I figure he either is really that dumb, or its a trap. I agree we should do that some time but not right now as I'm about to log (I was).

Edited by: Lana Torrin on 07/12/2009 01:24:27 So who here thinks that a 15 day old character who is chaining BSs and invites a complete stranger to rat with them after a 30 min convo is a trap? I do..
What would the appropriate response be to such a trap? We only have about 10 active pilots in corp but I think just for the lols I should try and blob him.. Is it unfair to blob a 15 day old character, assuming he really is that dumb, or an I doing eve a service?
Edit: ... Yeah, that was a lot of words for not much action. Guess I still haven't posted a good story ...
TL;DR: Had some lols with a noob, now he thinks im his friend and I really want to gank him.

Is that what you tried to do to me or were you just genuinely trying to help before?

Roughly 3 months.

I meant to send you a mail telling you to fit a gun in your spare highslot in case of scrambly frigs.
Edit: I probably wouldn't kill him tbh, 15 days is a bit youngish. I love killing older players who are that dumb, but I can't bring myself to enjoy killing people who are less than a couple months old -------------------------------------------

I know how you feel. I can't bring myself to be a mean person to newbies who are happily ratting

Blow the guy up, there's a 50/50 chance that he'll love the game even more after realizing just how harsh it can be.

I for one, don't think it's a trap. I think he's really that new.
Well written OP, by the way.

One time I convinced this poor, unassuming Russian (lol AAA Citizens) that I was looking for a PVP partner and that he should come fly with me.
I fleeted him up, told him to come over to my home system so we can regroup before heading out. Immediately upon his jumpingin, I fleet-warped him to a very nice POS we had in that system with lots of guns on it.
The moral of this story: It's always a trap, but you should go for it anyway (i.e., set your own trap) in order to blow up a noob's internet spaceship.

Personally I don't think it's a trap and I can feel you on this one Lana. I hate blowing up obvious noobs but hey that's my profession ingame. Just the other day I found a 1 month old character in a belt. He was ratting in a Thorax that he could barely fly. I shot him from shield down to struc in no time (Stabber with two twennys), convo'd him and told him friendly for a 15m ISK donation i would let him live. He agreed and said that was nearly all he had made the whole time from ratting. I felt sorry for him just a little bit but I hoped at least he learned something from this... 30 mins later he was in a belt just 1 jump ahead. ----- so delicious! |

If that a serious estimate, you are totally doing it wrong.
