The first time I got 'wacked' it was by some guy named 'Gurista'.
So... I put a 10k bounty on him.... (true)

Went to A-1CON to a Serpentis base because I wanted to be friendly to all the corps and wanted to do some missions for them. Allmost got blown up by some ships (PCs) on the station. Luckily I got back with my ship (the next day) and even sold some amunition for insane profit (ok, it was small ammo and only about 100x the price). Going back I got frantic when I saw several ships on a gate. After a moment of chaos and nervousness I saw I was back to high-sec (0.5 or so).

I had a total noob moment last night.
I've hauled ass out of Pure Blind in order to raise my standings with Carthum Conglomerate, the idea being to get loads of BPCs post patch. After hammering various agents for a while, i got offered a storyline mission and flew out into deadspace. I was in a retribution and my frigate skills are good, so i figured it'd be a cakewalk. The mission was also in .8 space - this is noob city. I reasoned i could have done this mission in a t1 frigate if i so desired.
first wave spawns. i greet their poxy minmitar ships with a smile, and searing laser death.
second wave. they die quickly.
third wave.. eh?
3 ships, one of which is a rifter that dies instantly. The other 2 are fleet support ships - i'm webbed, scrambled and they actually appear to be healing each other. Worse than that - they're tanking me. So i'm drifting along at 21m/s, pıssí́ng damage into one of the npc ships - keeping their traversal around 500 m/s.
It dawns on me: I'm being held hostage by NPCs. In highsec. In an assault frigate.
total noob moment.
no skills, just luck.

Newb huh..?
Does beta count? I remeber mining ARK, in an .04 system (Isie/lonetrek) in my bantam, a wopping 6 units per, before my cargo hold filled up and i had to dock.
Somewhere around 24 of these "cycles" later I had enough for a refine, which i did and sold my Zyd to what I thought was the npc market for...1.024 per unit. (zyd used to be 1024/pu back in those days.)
Needless to say I was very put out and vowed not to click anything i hadn't read COMPLETELY.
Ever wonder where that price warning pop up when you go to buy/sell stupidly came from??
Newbes like me...

I was flying lvl1-2 agent missions in a velator and remember onetime it involved destroying some huge "space telescope". It took me 40 minutes of shooting to take it down.
After that I went to same agent for new mission. He gave me the SAME mission again and after cursing a little I did it again. When the agent gave me this same mission for the FOURTH time I asked someone in local wtf is wrong with my agent and found out about how petitions work.

ninja mining high ends in my frigate, two weeks after release :).
ninja mining high ends in my ibis the 2nd day of release, didn't feel noobish at the time though
Although in beta I did shoot at stargate in 1.0 to see if I could destroy it
One time i decided that concord should feel the wrath of my mighty thorax. (before battleships and tech 2 when tier 2+ cruisers were uber) I lasted through 3 waves before the 4th finaly took me down. I killed the original 3 and 5-6 more warped in and it just kept getting worse each new wave. I'm honestly amased i managed to even last that long. Looking back on it i do feel pretty nubish for feeling invincible with low skills in a tech 1 cruiser. At the time though i actualy was kind of a bad ass compared to the average beta player. They're still finding bits of my frozen corpse in luminaire to this day. I also remember being amased by my friends MWD. It was the first one my corp had seen. He had been secretly training for it. We just see him flipping out in corp chat one day and naturaly we were curious what was up. He fitted a bunch of overdrives and stuff like that and his MWD and whizzed by our mining op at like warp 9. The whole corp was drooling. I also remember totaly flipping out the first time i encountered warp scramblers and couldnt figure out what was going on.

Apart from shooting that deserted vessel by a station in 0.4:
Traveling through lo-sec with this important storyline-tourist on board with not checking the map for destroyed things while relaying on the autopilot with my shiny new Thrasher while having this said ship equipped with shiny new expensive items stuffed with shiny new expensive loot while reading stupid chats while being drunk.
And as i finally stumbled across that camped gate - i just literally sat and watched. Boom! there goes my Thrasher, Boom! there goes my Pod and, of course! Boom, there go my 3 Imps.

These stories are HILARIOUS!
I just had to add a couple of my own.
During the first set of storyline missions you get as a noob, I was sent to a different system. The kill target was not at the gate, nor any of the belts (which I flew through 2 or 3 times), and I didn't know how to find it. I quit the mission, and it wasn't until like a week later that I found out about how the links worked in the Agent Mission section of People & Places, or the Journal.
In the Never Fit a Ship While Angry category, I had just lost a Rupture to a player rat, and immediately bought another. I left the station in it, having forgotten to insure it or put drones in the drone bay. First belt I warped to had a warp-scrambling NPC frig in it, and I spent the next 5 minutes watching it slowly kill my brand-new, uninsured ship since I had no drones, and couldn't hit it with 425s.
Flew through several low-sec systems in a hauler carrying about 5M in mins, on autopilot, while AFK. Came back to the computer to see myself in station, in a new clone. Learned about the "Show ships destroyed" function after that one...
And yes, I too mined. Never again!

Ok lets see...
I rememeber the first time I try'd to go into 0.0. I think I went into ec-p8r though I'm not sure. It was 30 some jumps from where I was living, all the way with no mwd (hadn't trained the skills)
Getting there, I found some dark o and thought this was heaven. Planned to ninja mine it then head into empire and refine it. But there was a gate camp, but being smart thought there was no way they could lock me if I warped to the gate at 60km... Missing 1 rifter, 2 units of dark o.
The next time I went all the way down into the deep south. Found a player controlled station owned by the curse allience, and I could even dock there. I ninja mined 2 whole refines of ark, and was the happyest person you could ever see. Untill I noticed it didn't have a refinery...

I killed a hauler in 1.0 space on my 2nd day afk mining in a belt (2003). I didn't start training skills for about a week into the game, untill someone told me to. I started mining and mining some more. First PvP in rax with 5 stabs, one volley of torps owned me. Was the only person in TEC not to kill Vampire Blade once . Got close though.
Then I started to learn the game...

FUNNY thread.
Mine was immediately selling my loot / ships to the first buyer.
Within 2 weeks I got an implant drop worth 20mil... sold it to someone who had set up a buy order for 2 MILLION.
it still makes me tearful at times.

So there I am...
A month or so after the retail release and I joined a corp as soon as I could. The whole corp was mining for omber in a system near Hulm and we chatted about everyone was going to be in Moa's in no time flat, how we were going to do all sorts of stuff.
I had just got the torpedo skills and, at the time, you could fit a torp' in just about any missile or rocket launcher. Me and my rifter were 'studs!'
Suddenly an NPC rat spawns and I let everyone know that I'm going to take it out with a torpedo. I didn't pay much attention to how far away the 2k rat was and I let the torp fly.
This was a time when "splash" damage was possible. You were supposed to make sure of your targets before you fired, but I was hot for some cool torp effects to show off to my corpmates. WHAM! The rat is gone, but then so are all the ore jet cans and a couple of my corp mates are in pods...?
The splash damage vaporized all the omber, and a couple of probes and rifters in the process. Then I looked in the chat window, where I was being warned not to fire, 'cause of splash damage to the cans...'
I wasn't even back to the station and I was out of the corp...
Something has gone terribly wrong |

last week i was travelling through Dudreda and in the gate my overview started to glow in red. Wow!! one vindicator and one machariel gankin' a raven!. (i had never seen these faction bs before) and instead of jumpin' away fast i stayed there enjoying the sight. When i finally jumped the vindicator and the machariel ripped off the raven and jumped towards me. i had no time to warp to next gate before they lock and scramble me.
I lose a top named fitted cyclone just for voyeurism

My worst was NPC'ing in a 0.8 system with my megathron ( which was horrible equiped and shield tanked but it was in a time armor tanking didn't exist ) I had to go afk for a little while so I let my hardners and shield booster run and went afk, the afk took longer then expected so 2 tiny rats ( like 8k bounty rats ) spent 15 minutes or more taking down my uninsured megathron... it hurt, spent all my cash on it and a c5l large shield booster ( was like 25mil back then )

I found out I could fit a battleship size AB on my Cyclone - almost 3000 m/s baby!
So I squeezed a Quad Lif fueled booster in, undocked, kicked in the AB ("speed set to 2942 m/s") and watched it pick up speed: 101 m/s, 102 m/s, 103 m/s, 104 ...
I learned from this that fitting the wrong size AB will result in very sub-par acceleration (although I'm sure I would have reached 2942 m/s eventually :) )

on my first char i fitted 3* civi shield boosters to my first merlin then died in a 4/10 complex
yea i use to go around with 3 of them things they where good at booster against high sec rats, remeber when i got in a destroyer and tried to fit med guns on it and couldnt understand why i couldnt fit them, i cried. but i was in a battleship within 4 weeks of playing the game and learnt pvp fairly quick i moved into 0.0 when i was 4 months old now, im over a year old im still down there refuse to npc on kill peeps now.
biggest mistake i have done is training amar bs's wasted time on training gunnary skills for that, but in the future when i want tech 2 guns it will save half of the journey, my raven fully fitted with tech 2 now im happy
will kill anythin for the right price |

Hehe ... did exactly the same thing myself, and that wasn't too long ago either. 1 shield booster is good, therefore 2 shield boosters must be better, and 3!!, I'll be like a roaming demi-god. At least thats what I thought until my cap drained in 5 secs flat and I was left just sitting there like a lemon not able to do anything  .
Although my favourite is when I after reaching the last zone of a deadspace complex I sat there for 10 mins pounding the overseer's lock box with my missiles and rails wondering why I couldn't destroy it. Didn't realise the idea was to loot it. Well it was red after all .... red == kill .
