All the while I was getting angrier and angrier about why my tower was being hit! So I did something really stupid.
If this ever happens, ask around. There are many, many groups that love to drop on small groups bashing poses in Lowsec and will happily assist you pro bono at the chance for some cap kills. Ask around a bit and you should get connected with the right people. It helps to have a reputation of being reliable, but even if you just provide intel it'll probably get checked out.
This was actually offered. By some lowsec locals that I had blued (so I could get around) and my alliance blues said they would bring in caps for the kill. (We're talking bigtime too).
Problem I had was that my local blues (whose friends were bigtime) and my alliance blues (also bigtime) were red to each other. Who do you ask? Since both offered to help and knew the timer, I felt that it'd start a massive cap fight to save a 200m tower! So I chose to negotiate out.
I made a 24 hour "get out of lowsec" financial deal with the reo people, which they honored. What they did was tell a different alliance to come do the kill. So I lost it all. |

Was many years ago, I was in Torrinos and jumped into EC-P8R and the gate was bubbled, I unloaked and was instantly webbed by a Rapier, Jammed by a Falcon and popped by 3 Raven's that decloaked off the gate.
Then the red mist decended....
I logged on my alt that was still in Torrinos and jumped into EC again to pop the Rapier since I felt that was the ship that most fouled up my ability to get back to the gate....
And yup, same thing happened again, lost 2 ships on 2 characters within 3-4 mins to the same camp.
I launched my wireless mouse across the room after the 2nd death, luckily it hit the curtains and I didn't end up smashing it to pieces. |

Got drunk and took my Tempest on a solo roam. Played a cat and mouse game in an enemy system with a vaga, myrmidon, falcon and various tacklers. Finally succeeded in getting the vaga alone for long enough to kill it. Got a tackler or two as well. After losing all my drones, armor at 40%, and significant overheat damage I made a run for it. I had 8 jumps to cross with a group that had grown to around a dozen chasing me. Took an alternate route and shook them but it was a stupidly close thing. One hell of a rush. |

Way back, when I was looking for "easy" isk, and ha gotten myself a Bustard, I thought "hey let's check out some good couriers"
So I saw one from Null-Jita wich was about 18k M^3 and a "hefty" reward of 50 mil, now I had no Id+¬a about the whole docking-rights thing, but for some reason i was "smart" enough to think "I'll accept it when i get there".
Now when i pop Into the system, there is a lovely gate camp (ofc) but no Bubbles o.O, and since i was paranoid/wimpy back then i'd smacked 2 warp-stabs on.
Long story short, got out of the camp, couldent dock.
Was chased by 2 guys for about 12 jumps that kept trying to put a point on me :D
Last jump back to high, I take it easy and don't spam the warp button.
The 2 guys jumps in, target's me -> point -> CONCORDOKEN.
I follow up with typing "thank you Concord guys" :D
Ah the good old days :D

I was brand new to the game, after coming from WoW. I was trying to buy a new module for my ship, and didnt know how the market read. I was use to wow where the colors mean alot and so was focused on the Bright green buy orders, and thought that meat the market contianed those items, and tried to buy the module from the green buy orders, ended with my almost leaving the game, but thought I would try one last time to make it work, and so headed to a low sec station that had a green buy order to get my module, and was podded undocking without my module, Bought a 15 million sp clone and drained my isk account for it. Alos quickly after that realised I had to pay attanetion to the non colorful words in the market and those mattered more for me. Trained now not to ignore the dull grey words. |

This was just a couple weeks ago--back when modules were randomly offlining. I sold all my assets except for a Dominix and some spare modules to buy a Scorpion Navy Issue and the spiffiest deadspace shield booster I could find. Got out to a mission site and realized that one of my shield hardeners was offlined. Barely had enough cap to do it, but I put the module online and started getting into the fight just as I got tackled by three warp scrambler frigs.
You can all guess what else was offline; I'll skip past the details of my humiliating loss of a billion isk worth of space shinies. Now I find myself back in the station with nothing to my name but a Dominix and a bucket of assorted tech 1 modules.
So I frankenstein-ed together a passive shield-tanked Dominix, kitted it out with auto-cannons, and spent the next week earning the hell out of a new Scorpion Navy Issue and a deadspace shield booster to match.
The daftest part of that was that I could have used part of the proceeds to buy a Megathron, or a Raven, or even a simple armor repper...but it was just too much fun! Every time I warped into a mission site I couldn't help but laugh at how bloody stupid I felt piloting a passive shield-tanked auto-cannon Dominix, so I kept on going.  |

stupidest: blindly clicking random options when creating my character without knowing what any of them meant (caldari achura represent!)
ballsiest: autopiloting through low sec my first day playing back in 07 while heading to join my first player corp, which i didnt knwo anything about simply because they offered to pay me to mine and run missions
weirdest: thinking i was being attacked by another player in a 0.5 system when i first encountered a named npc in a belt (not an officer, jsut a named guy chilling in a belt) i still kill the npc from time to time

Well, back in days I lived in Great Wildlands and was in Foundati0n allaince. We were in war against -V- and I was moving from NDQ to 7JF to make some ISK in my ratting raven, fitted with prototype cloak. Intel was good, but still somehow I managed to jump in small -V- patrol. Vagapond and some other ships. I uncloaked and cloaked and started slowboating with cloaked raven. Well, about 20-30 minutes laters I was still in middle of those hostile ships, cloaked in a raven and they couldn't find me  Eventually they just shouted something at local and left.
Second ratting raven story I have from the borderzone between Etherium Reach and Great Wildlands. I had bit different fit, I had buffer shield fit and double large smarties at highslots. I was engaged by four recon ships. Rapiers and Arazus and they throw drones on me and damps. Well I smash the drones with smarties and they are chewing my tank. After 5 mins they are still chewing my tank...... Not enough DPS to bring down 200 dps ratting tank, oh the smack on local against those four useless recons...
Third memory is from M-M, fight against Red Alliance. It was just before I left from EVE. We were engaging in sniper fight, and they had lot's of falcons. Yeah remember sniper BS's and falcons?? Oh those were times, dropping AoE doomsdays. Well I had just lost my Typhoon (my char in that fight was Coros) and I had actually been podded. So I grabbed one of my vagabonds and undocked. Fight was still going and I burned towards those falcons. The battle was large, something like 400 in local (NPC space) and I reached first falcon and engaged it. It was jamming and I had ECCM so it couldn't start jamming me straight away. I burned through his shield really fast and it went down. Then I burned against second and it actually started jamming me, but jam didnt land and it went down too. At that point their FC apparently noticed what was going and their whole sniperfleet started engaging me, lonely vagabond chasing their falcons. Their falcons also started warping off when and switched locations. I was caught and podded, again.
Well, -1 M SP from Minmatar BS V.... FUFUFUFU  IIRC sold the character in next day |

I think my stupidest act was engaging a PvP-fit Brutix in a PvE-fit Hurricane.
I'd just got back to Hek from a mission, and decided to drop a can in a belt to pick up a frigate to shoot at. When the Brutix picked it up, I made the mistake of opening fire. x_X |

I got fed up of losing ships to a drained cap, so I tried fitting a bs with eight heavy nosferatu's and killing stuff with drones.
That didn't work either.

I used to do level 3 missions in cruisers for the challenge. After awhile, I got good at it using a Caracal, so I decided to look toward other ships. Everyone trash talks the Moa, so I decided to take one into a level 3 Angel Extravaganza (back when it had 4 turrets). It was a what I thought was a crappy ship going into what I thought was hard mission. It actually worked decently, much to my surprise and my corp-mates.
Ever since then I kind lost respect for AE and gained some for the Moa. |

I once visited UPS space, in a Nightmare, did somewhere around 230m ISK worth of sanctums and havens then headed back to my home system because i had to do something else. That was their main production system, and they had between 12 and 15 people on local at the moment. System had no outpost (this was before the sanctum nerf, mind you) They were neutrals to my alliance, and mine to them.
I went, i did and i returned unharmed and untouched. Wasn't defiance though, i honestly didn't know that they werent our friends and that they were free to shoot me and vice-versa. |

Had decided to fit up a PVP drake as i was lacking ships in my wormhole system, closest market system was Hek. Fitted out the drake then thought "**** it", i-¦ll take the low route back (turns out was the fastest) which pasted through Otou, Miroitem and Rancer. Knew i would most likely die going from the Miroitem gate to the Croliere gate in Rancer so jumped from Miroitem, didnt anticipate that that gate would be camped. 2 Hurricanes and a Drake.
Decided that i-¦d aid the gate guns and see what happened as i wasnt too fussed about losing the ship, decloaked and straight away one of the hurricanes was the first to get aggression so the missile spam began, cane lost shield pretty fast and ended up deaggressing and jumped out (sadly not fast enough to die). Then started nailing the drake which had gotten aggro, that ended up warping as i ended up capped out trying to keep the hardeners up, the last cane got aggro but then friends started arriving, decided to deaggress, managed to jump through to the single cane i had been hitting before, managed to warp back to otou gate without the cane trying to get a lock and back to hek. No kills but no losses and a whole load of an adrenaline rush |

most stupid thing I've done so far was flying a freighter from Rens to Jita manualy (that itself is stupid), then at one point warped to the wrong gate and suddenly found myself in low-sec with just over 1,5 bill isk worth of cargo...
Being more lucky then I deserved I slowboated back to the gate and jumped out without anyone noticing ^_^

Probably qualifies as both dumbest and ballsiest...
Participating in an Agony 'Wolfpack' roam with my desktop still on wireless Internet. Held up surprisingly well until Caldak warped to that POS (graphic effect freaks out my card sometimes).
Needed to head to work by then anyway. :-) One 7 Mill Thrasher for five hours enjoyment, good trade-off.
Another 'dumbest' would be trying the first iteration of PI, realizing it was causing pain in my wrist, and training a PI-based char on release anyway. The char got shelved for six or so months until v2 of PI was released. |

When I was a mega-newb, I got greedy (or cheap, rather) and started buying skillbooks in low sec systems - got gate jumped on my rupture by 7 people..
Shrugged it off a minute later after a person in rookie chat gave me 10 mill for being the first to google an answer to a question I didn't know. Wah000!
I'm still a newb.
One thing that intimidates me is not being able to understand what I should be able to understand - or at least, people telling me what I can or cannot understand.

Dumbest: make 54 jumps tru 0.0 from my previous alliance base to my next one with all my belongs in a Blasterthron.
Attempt to gank anyone not blue in the way meanwhile... almost got a republic fleet stabber, who almost got me when his falcon friend show off good thing i was able to deaggro and warp bacl tru gate.
Weirdest: after a couple of weeks of utter boredom bought a clone jumped to hi-sec and began to travel from jita to all the know trade hubs looking for wartargets , ended up killing a couple of small scan frigs the enemy used for suicide ganks.
To do: Clone jump to my old 0.0 HQ get my neutron fit DIEMOST and travel back to hi-sec shooting anything on my way |

was moving my stuff from Amarr to Hek. moved all my ships and all i had left was an iteron 4 with about 1 billing in T2, Meta 4 and faction moduels and other stuffs.
said iteron had no tank Fail
I was so tierd with moving 9 ships all those jumps and i just wasnt thinking "hey its the pipe between 2 market hubs"
got about 3 jumps from amarr when 2 Arty BS auto lock and pop

the whole thing was done in about 60 seconds. they had cloaky industrials standing buy to pick up my stuff and salvage my ship.
Just like that 60 sec 1 bill gone.
To be honest i was quite inpresed by their efficency. |

Not sure on weirdest or ballsiest but I have a story im proud of in the balliest category.
I'm all about wormhole corps. Our C4 home had a door open to a C5 couple years ago. This by the way was the highlight of my Eve career. In the C5 was a festering mass of big-time Russian pirates. As usual when a door opens we send our expert cloaky scanner through to see if it's active. He sees 3 Helios scanning already, 3 Large starbases on scan, and a ton of Battleships and advanced Cruisers at the towers.
We're proactive because we have one tower, and we were in the process of completing our defenses, resources being short between 15 members. Our scanner came back through, reporting. We had to close that hole, they would be coming through any minute. We'd had this threat before but not on such a magnitude.
We get our Orcas, with the scanner on their side watching to be sure its clear and our babies get to work dropping the hole's mass.
I still don't know what happened but on the final trip, before it could return the final Orca had a mixup and got the session timer lag bug just after a 40-man fleet of pirate battleships and cruisers appeared on their side of the hole. It were stuck in enemy territory. Up went the bubbles. My ballsy move was that, knowing the whole force could not go through to defend them until they could pass as it risked stranding the entire corp if it closed, I rammed my Scorpion through, appearing in the center of the furball on their side, ECMing like crazy, getting locked and rocked. I don't know if 40 ships could take down an orca in the minute or so they were locked in there, but I know alot of ships switched targets to me, evidence being I exploded after holding the line. I darted my pod back through exactly as the Orcas unlocked and passed through, and we all popped out in our home, the hole was gone, stranding a pirate Domi that chose the wrong time to head through.
