Wraiths Reborn, wannabe pirates, have made me laugh this whole week. To top it off, tonite I again flustered them in my tiny shuttle. I had 8 Wraiths flying various tanker ganker bs's and several ceptors chasing me around a system. Don't ask me why they bother to pop a tiny noob alt shuttle, but for atleast an hour they tried... to no avail...
BUT, the best part comes when I decided to warp to a station after dubba was following me in his crow for quite some time... well, when I get there the moron locks and scrambles me... whooops, guess he forgot to tank his crow... LMAO... pop he goes from sentry guns as I calmly fly over and loot his can grabbing the best named 1mn mwd in game.
Just a funny story, not much to it.

What does "tank his crow" mean? Is there an eve-dictionary around here somewhere?

I think it's an attempt at irony - you can't "tank a crow" against gate sentry guns.
FYI, the term is normally used for setting up a ships defenses to ensure it can cope with the damage from a sentry gun (e.g. put enough armour on it so that you can shoot stuff freely in front of sentries without being killed straight away).

Yes.  although it doesn't explain that :)
A Crow is a ship and tanking refers to being able to absorb or repair damage, more quickly then it's being dealt to you, or at least for long enough so that you don't die instantly :)

He didnt get shot at, he was locked and scrambled
Let's get this straight, if a girl has to be "rescued" 10 times a week from a brothel shes not a damsel but a prostitute.

lol, but i've seen podkills in this fashion. Align for flyby, when close fire & warp when missiles hit...
We did it few times with alt spys in low sec. empire wars. Only ss loss is quite big... should we get suicide kessi alts, ccp?

I'm really not sure why you insist on logging on every night and coming into our system to say Hi. Yeah I lost my crow, but it was simply to my own stupidity, you really had nothing to do with it. I forgot to unqueue my scrambler and locked you. I knew as soon as I hit the button what was going to happen, and felt like a retard for doing it. Good job I guess...want a cookie?

So, warp scrambling someone is considered an act of aggression?
What about passive targeters? What about targeting disruptors?
Oh yeah, and how do you queue something up in the way you describe?

Targeting disruptors are as are target painters. Not sure about passive targetters. You queue something by clicking on the module before you have a target lock. It will flash and say something like waiting for active target.

Your system? YOUR system? Why do I insist on coming into YOUR system? Well, why do you insist on tanker ganking MY stargate every night? Yes, I prolly should have better things to do, but obviously, it was due to me that you lost your Crow. And yes, please give me a cookie next time I see you.
But lets get this straight, from my point of view, if your 8 person fleet did manage to take my shuttle down... well, would you want a cookie for such a brave and vallant feat?
It saddens me how CCP tried so hard to get people into 0.0, but all the crimals are too scared... too worried... they look for the easy way out... hit and run ganker tanker styles on sentry gates.

Passive targeters will, in theory, allow you to target a ship without that pilot knowing he is targeted. It will not cover or hide acts of aggression (targeting is not aggression, of course).

It does amaze me how many ships will chase you down in 0.0 when you really are no threat. I suppose you could have been setting strategic bookmarks but still. You were in a shuttle!?!
And I thought it was bad having 8 ships chase me and a mate in cruisers the other night.
Is there anyone in Eve left that relishes a fair fight?

To scared for 0.0? LOL you really don't know us at all Ax X. We aren't scared we just enjoy the challenge of killing in Empire and the excitement it brings. We've done the 0.0 thing and for our playing style this suits us better. This game is about having fun and empire camping brings us the most enjoyment. I think a lot corps here can vouch for that.
As for chasing you down, well when thing gets boring you have to do something.  So we'll keep an eye out for you so we can pod you again. It really doesn't matter if your an alt or not.....NO FREE PASSES!!

The actions of Dubba in no way reflect Wraiths Reborn"

If your ship in any way uses modules to inhibit or affect negatively another vessel, it is an act of aggression.

I know more than you think... I know all about you and xJQA, SPURM... blah blah...
But, its all pretty lame imo. Nothing good there... and honestly, there is no challenge in tanker ganking in Empire... its just another lame tactic of a wannabe pirate crew. We all have opinions, but if shooting a shuttle from 180km is fun to you, then great... however, you all know you cant deal with the real threats of 0.0 or you'd be there still.... the truth is you hide and throw out an ego maniac attitude.
But its a game, so be it... you havent done nothing to me... score

So, you still haven't answered my question from today. Who was your main that we killed and what did you lose that you have to spend so much of your time in our system smack talking from 350km out? Then maybe we can talk score...

my guess would be that all you need to do to get em off the camp, would be to announce the sol they camp every night (and what eve hours).
I personally know of at least 20 battle-hungry ppl that don't want to pirate and would love to pull some antipirate action just for fun.
I guess there are loads of ppl like that out there ;)

You want answers? You want the truth? Well ok...
I'm an alt, but soon you'll kow my main. We have been hired to cause havoc to your crew. I was simply scouting these last few weeks, making bookmarks, and preparing for things ahead.
Oh, and by the way... Wraiths Reborn practically camp the Stacmon gate inside Covryn almost every night and day. So, any anti-pirates wanting to get some nice bounties head there. Many of them have -5.0 and below secs, so free shots to all!
Basic setups are tanker ganker scorps and sniper armages... they'll also try to use ceptors to act as warp points for their battleships... and I'm prolly 95% sure cloaking devices are used on both sides of the gate at times.

Hard core pirates or bounty hunters allways get on their stool yelling at carebears, well most of the time.
They allways point at the others calling them cowards for hiding, yet they create alts to spy with, they use alts to set bookmarks for their main HARDCORE pirate/bounty hunter, so when they relog they can get on their stool again and shout......Coward! Carebear! whimp! come out and play with real men stop hiding!
Yes in eve as everywhere else there is no bigger carebear then the hardcore pvp'er :P
they never stop to amaze me either.

That just shows your intelligence right there... Um.. duh, of course anyone living in that area would know theres a wannabe pirate corp in Covryn. That statment was meant for the anti-pirate patrols out there looking for some dandy bounties... who DO NOT visit the area. LOL.
