There's been all kinds of top-this-or-that threads or best-that-or-another, but I'm not sure if there was a thread about some of the more retarded stuff that happened in EVE. Be it stuff that happened in fights, politics, convos, whateva.
I have to say for me it has to be CYVOKs press release in Xetics name. The way they tried to impose a set of their own demands on the then newly formed 5 alliance that was just moving into Curse. That had to have been one of the biggest blunders resulting in XF themselves breaking the cease fire, a consequentual war that ended with huge loses for XF and subsequent end of what was one of the biggest alliances in EVE ever.
On a more personal level, it had to be my first battleship loss... was shortly after I joined CA, had like 1.5mil skillpoints and decided I want to solo NPC in the belts round HLW in my shiny new megathron... which ofcourse didn't end well...

The thread were CYVOK whined about not beeing able to build safe space in 0.0 and every single Xetic member signed the post.
That was pretty stupid.

That had to have been one of the biggest blunders resulting in XF themselves breaking the cease fire, a consequentual war that ended with huge loses for XF and subsequent end of what was one of the biggest alliances in EVE ever.
What people still haven't understand on this is that cyvok acted alone without consulting anybody. Meeting with alliance leaders was "ok so we sign some mutual defense pact to protect each others". Then... Well he worked hard for sure on putting ideas together adding his personnal touch... And of course posting everything without consulting anybody.
The original idea was good. It was simple: mutual defense pacts to focus on RA and prevent [5] from attacking (if they had attacked, they wouldn't have been able to secure much due to the amount of enemies, it would have been some new CA war). I guess people can imagine my face when I read that the day after with cyvok explaining [5] how they should behave 
But well, that was usual stuff in the Xetic Federation anyway How can I blame Cyvok for just 1 VERY stupid decision (well, 2 in fact, no wait, 3). I mean the council was completly clueless anyway and could even have agreed with him Like when the council asked Yoristar to tell the [5] they wouldn't get a NAP while telling me to stfu and go to the corner... You need to have been in xetic politics to understand why THAT decision made me laugh deeply (I laughed even harder when Yoristar did exactly what I expected him to do: the opposite of what he was asked for )
Oh well... I guess all that stuff was anyway the most retarded things I had ever seen in Eve. I could list some decisions of the xetic council that were funny as well, but nothing ever reached that stage... Hmmm... well there was when yoristar and KSUDruid explained to me in front of council how Xetic would easely win the war against the [5]... Council agreed (afteral a Minister of Defense isn't supposed to know that kind of things ^^) that was funny stuff as well
try to beat that

Ones that I have been involved withon a personal basis are as follows.
Xetic's post, the cease fire, and the eventual end of xetic. Why oh why that post was made, and why they fired first still surprises me. The truth be told, that post would have started the war in perhaps a day later anyways. No one likes being told what to do, especially an allience that consists mostly of PVP'rs who are facing down a large group of carebears.
The second, whould ave been the Fade+NSA vs BOB thing. To say we were crushed is an understatment. In as little as 24 hours NSA went from fielding 100man fleets (which were slaughtered) to a defence of me, and 3 others in Dek, forced into safe spots in various systems. There was an easy way out of it, and one we could have taken. But foolish (in hind-sight) pride forced us to ally with Fade and take the beating that we took. Some people still suspect that we would have fought BOB anyway, and they maybe right. But jumping head first into a pool of sharks wasn't our best idea.

hmm,
Seen a few whoppers in my time.
Perhaps when NVA kicked JF out which led to the GNW.
Maybe when Anue declared that G/Imp were building a southern coalition to beat BoB out of Outer Ring and Fountain, which went a bit badly.
It could have been blacklight recently stating "lol, If Iron beat G in the Caldari Championships then I'll give up drinking".
Yeah, I'll stick with that one

I'd have to say "the spark that ignited it all"
The first major battle of the GNW. The combined forces of NAST got some -absolutely- horrible intel, having (50?) battleships jump into about (100?)
I remember it was a 2:1 slaughter fest... That was not pretty.

Undocking in an unfitted raven with a security status of -12k and getting killed by 2 inties ...
Then undocking in a almost fitted raven to go pvp ... poor guy forgot a shield booster
Then losing a bs in a belt cause he had something more important to show on his webcam then to actually look at the game ... was quite funny seeing his reaction live as he was losing his raven ...
Losing numerous ships as he drift away from target in combat prolly cause hes too busy trying to pick up chick over msn ...
Ahhh so many good times :P
I still lub you bro :P

The day I got my first, and one and only Commander spawn, a Domination Angel, 4.5mil, I beat it (got a *****in' domination reflective plate, w00t!) I continued to Rat. Later I came up against a simple BS spawn. Then I forgot to turn on my hardeners and armor rep. Needless to say, I quickly lost my Apoc.
Many of you may be surprised to learn that alcohol was involved in this altercation.

After a fleet battle, a KIA pilot was warped away to safe spot. A scout was requested and said pilot volunteered, ejected from his ship, at which point his brand new Battleship went pop. Only his skills were holding it together ;)

An SA pilot once asked for gang in PF-346. (Obviously he was asking other SA'ers), but i obliged and sent him a gang invite, surprise number 1, he actually accepted it, surprise number 2, when we warped to him, he was with his entire fleet, which got spanked, surprise number 3, he was acutally flying with us asif we were his gang buddies, surprise number 4, we never even noticed he was there because we didnt have gang members on overview!!!

Once upon a time in the NVA vs TTI war one of Ragnar's merc commanders "smoked" (the ceo of M3G4 corp) was fighting against this small NVA corp called Pain Syndicate. So the fighting kicked off and smoked was getting quite baddly beaten up and he ended up ejecting from this battleship by mistake rather than warping away. His pod got targetted and he wisely ran. Taking the opportunity for a big humiliating win the Pain Syndicate sent one of their pilots back to dock and jumped out of their ship and rushed back to the unpiloted enemy battleship. Smoked had returned also so there was a pod race! Narrowly pipping the M3G4 ceo to the post the Pain Syndicate guy got into his enemies ship and blew Smoked up with his own recently vacated guns.
I'm still yet to hear a clearer definition of the word "pwned" tbh.

During our holidays in sindicate me (claw), and my mate - WRWR (arma) decided to travel around, searching for frags.
We spotted 3 bob vagabonds, they beating lone dominix. Pilot of dominix ejected, and 1 of bob guys decided to take this bs, and ejected from vaga. I asked for WR to jump, and warp on this planet (he had heavy neut + web - so he get a chance against 2 vagas). He did that, but seems, that vagas were armor tanked. So he tanked vagas for some time. At this time, i died in my claw (didn`t want to rewarp) and started to approach empty vaga in my capsule.
- Bah. WR died.
- Bah. 1 vaga started to approach me.
- "You can`t enter ship blah blah 13 seconds left"
- Omg, vaga is in 15km from me.
- Ooops, my capsule is in armor.
On the last seconds i managed to enter abanoned vaga, mwded away, and warpout. I was very glad to get this ship, as my previous vagabond got blown up few days ago. But still - WR lost his battleship, (around 120m in fitting - insurance).
When i traveled few systems back, to Orvolle, i opened cargohold, and smile : 1 cap rech t2, some cargo extenders, few tachs t2 - enough to cover loss of my mate . So i get vaga for free. This baby is still in my hangar

Ywev was the first to do it though
It was a dominix, not sure about how he managed to shoot himself though. But it ended up with someone else chasing it frantically in a Bantam while it continued on its merry journey.

Too many to list. But it is nice to see other people listing some of my greatest personal achievements as "blunders"!
Some notable mentions:
- Losing 40+ ships as an NVA FC against Forsaken Empire back in the day. (4 hour mexican standoff + JIP cluster**** = quick demise)
(1 million ISK to the first person who knows what a JIP is)
- Smartbombing my mates at what I thought was an exclusively Oberon mining op in empire.
- Barhoping with Robeyone.
- Stumbling accidentaly into a chatroom where Jade & DB Preacher are having a naughty round of cyber.
- Thinking roleplay in eve would ever pan out enough to be worth the effort.
Just the tip of the iceberg.

you may be speaking of my experience. i went to lock a target that was in the process of being destroyed, and instead clicked board ship. i tried to board a ship that didnt exsist, somehow died, while my scorpion continued to mwd away. 2 evol corp mates were there at the time, and were trying to bump the mwding scorpion but it wasn't doing much.
eventually, a dev named kwai came and helped fix this.
this was all captured on a teamspeak recording that i have.

Also, I had the old blunder of going totally the wrong way on insta jumps mid-way through a journey, ended up right back where I began (Paying attention FTW)

Well my biggest blunder has to be when I lost my brand new bs.
I autopiloted a few jumps and started browsing the internet. After about 15min(if not more) I realize that there is a faint sound in the backround and I alt tab just in time to se my brand new geddon explode to 2 of those 2k gate rats you see in some systems in empire.

2 minor, but nonetheless funny blunders that I can remember.
1. While in a BS hunting party in EC-P8R, flying a cov ops, warping to a known hostile POS, cloaked, all sweet'n'dandy. BS not here, open up scanner, BS shows up within 1 AU. Quick, quick, quick, uncloak to launch a set of 3 AU's .... Whoops. Forgot the hostile POS.
2. Roaming for kills in Pure Blind in a Ganka with a mate in an ECM Scorp. Spot another 'geddon, start to engage, scramble, web, zap zap he's into low shields already and ... target jammed? Of course my mate jammed the wrong Arma; victim escapes and must still be laughing.

I remember a certain pilot who belonged to an alliance who shall remain un-named, but we're at war with them still ;)
He obviously failed his local check since he was asking in local "I need to go get my thorax and need an escort". Well the happy .5. gang obliged and sent him an invite, then proceeded to escort him in his shuttle to get his new shiny thorax only to pod him when he undocked in it :) During the entire escort he failed to realize that he was being escorted by the ENEMY fleet rather than his merry friends.
The TS was very funny after that incident =)
*edit: Not a big loss granted, but the way was damn funny ;)

Not the biggest in EVE, but I'll give a few of my blunders here:
Just yesterday, I was happily hunting and chaining a 3 BS spawn on one character and using the other to collect loot. As respawn was too slow for my liking, I was hitting all the belts in system as possible.
So, I kill a lesser spawn not worth chaining and warp my hauler in to pick up the loot. Get down to 2 cans left, and warp my Raven back to the chain belt to make more isk. I'm alt-tabbing between characters so I'm sure you know where this is going... I get distracted in teamspeak or corpchat or something, and after a few minutes realize I haven't checked on my hauler in a few minutes... Alt-tab to her at 20% armor with 3 BS's. Tried to warp out, but nope, didn't make it in time.
Now, the worst part of this is I had all of my main toon's back-up gear in a secure can as I had been moving it. Not much, but a few faction items and a handful of T2 stuff. That was the only can that didn't survive :(

Politically, Id say when CFS implemented their "anyone welcome" recruitment policy. We had every nubcake who wanted free bistot coming from everywhere. In the old days before MOO came everyone thought we were the bomb cause we had 80 member corps and ~2000 members, which was a huge number in the days when 5k was the max on the server on sunday.
Then moo came and out of 200 in alliance channels maybe 10 showed up to fight in blasterthrons with no MWD. Whee!
Personally, my biggest was flying AFK through PF-346.
The best one Ive witnessed was some drunk rusky who passed out and ended up flying AFK-autopilot through Querious during the height of the FIX Campaign to take FAT from Coalition. One of us blew him up and podkilled him with a crow. Think it was Sidon.

Two personal ones:
During GNW, in Torrinos, loaded a haulerfull of named loot and whatnot to move and sell in Niyabainen and Yulai. Somewhere along the route I started backwards on the instas and realised I jumped in EC-P8R when Safespot and Tactical folders appeared in the right-click menu 
My first officer I found, a 10 mil. something-or-other Blood. With 3 other BSes, 4 cruisers and 3 inties. Warped my Tempest in at 30 km and it melted in like 10 seconds.
And a witnessed one:
At the height of GNW, in Deklein, XZH I think, our glorious CEO and gang-leader at the moment, pulled a Blacklight 100 km off the PA-held station. Yelling and screaming on TS didn't work so we started guarding him. That worked ok for like 3-4 hours until we were just 6 BSes left, and 15 'nemies jumped in...

Back before they had alliance chat or secure channels for that matter alliances had to rely on basic chat channels. Some NORAD member invited a pirate into their official alliance chat. That pirate proceeded to invite his entire buddy list of pirates who proceeded to invite their entire buddy list. Well the situation exploded from there (with people logging on their noob alts and inviting everyone in noob chat) and the next thing you know the channel has hundreds of people in it from various factions most of whom have no clue whats going on. It was absolute madness that went on for about an hour and in the middle of it all Jade Constantine was RPing in it.

From my own perspective and experience..
1. FA's mis-management of Period Basis and Delve, particularly them allowing their carebears to have the bigger voice and not realise the tactical significance of Delve. FA not going full bore to help FIX and therefore allowing BoB to get a foothold in Delve killed them... despite a lot of good guys in their alliance telling them to act and prevent it.
2. PA thinking RKK were not a threat. Hubris in extremis ended in the death of PA.
3. NORAD sticking to the "we are a defensive alliance" strategy and not learning to flex it's muscle or even take a seat at the table of inter-alliance politics until it was too late, they were culturaly unprepared for the assault the ex-CA corps brought upon them.

4. The Merchant Marine's recruiting policy. Killed them from within and when their figurehead left Eve they could not recover. Could have been a rival for CLS.
5. CA allowing too many ego's at the top table with different agenda's, observation from outside only that one.
6. Me deciding playing Eve drunk was a good idea, has cost billions

I'm sorry Nick, but i gotta tell it.....
Back in the day when Nick Curso was one of my underlings, we had a mining op in providence that got crashed by pirates. Anyways he lost his ship was feeling a little bummed out and said he needed a bs to go join SA.
He only needed 1k of megacyte to build his ship, so i wired him the isk, was 18k PU in those days......
So he sets off afk in a hauler (his only ship) in secure empire space, to drop the megacyte off to get the ship built. Passes out ends up in a belt, and loses said hauler.
Nick is also famous for going npc'n without his hardners on so BoB guys if he says he's going npcin, everyone ask if his hardners are gone. (If I was given some isk everytime he would say, **** i just lost my mates ship someone gimmie some isk for a new one, rather then having to fork some out, id be richer then Khatred.)
Other one for us was setting up an alliance called Eve Player Alliance, at the same time the Eve Pirate Alliance was about, the guys that walked into our public channel were comedy.
Losing a geddon with no insurance 1 day before CCP instituted the 40% free insurance rule.
Setting auto pilot destination through low sec and not activating it and going on the phone to the gf. Lost a frigate to gate npc's, it had 1B of kaikka's mods in the hold. Managed to get another ship and was racing some random guy back to my can. Luckily only lost one item worth 15M isk.
99% of the above is said in RP. The Other 1% is personal, and should be taken that way. :P

Those are all pretty good ones but mine came just yesterday when I ws on my main char. I was hunting in low sec and half asleep and instaed to gate to run and catch a hostile, I jumped through (when aggroed) and then realized I jumped into the wrong system that just happened to be a .7. Good move
I was in my scorp with a decent tank on it and only the amarr navy ships fired on me so I went 7.5 m/s back to the gate and tanked them the whole way and after about 20 minutes of a corp m8 bumping me in his hauler and me nossing him a bit, I made it back into the .4. Oh and btw, if I ever see that guy in the shuttle in the .7 that kept bumping me off course I'm going to tear you a new one. |

The best one Ive witnessed was some drunk rusky who passed out and ended up flying AFK-autopilot through Querious during the height of the FIX Campaign to take FAT from Coalition. One of us blew him up and podkilled him with a crow. Think it was Sidon.
I liked the escort thing done by 5, still laughing.
About the raven, i found him couple jumps from fat, when iw as hunting a merlin. He was sitting 13km from the gate, so ijumped thrue and shot the merlin down. "was so happy the meriln jumped thrue". Toke my time picked up the loot and jumped back. The raven still sitts there.
I lock him,.. he dont lock back, not even auto lock back. I start orbit at 25km without mwd and start shooting missiles. And tell everybody els i got a raven at the gate, sadly they where occupied..
I keept shooting and when i was thrue the shild i was start hoping someting was messed up. Went in scrambled. Reloded and keept bashing. And pop he went, and then his pod. I go check the can-
Find megacyte and zyderine and alot off named l00t!. "he had prolly empty his station and was on his way out"... Was a fun thing =).
Embarsing for me? Alot off stuff, reacent must be gang warp a inty gang ontop off a smartbombing scorpion .. we only lost like 3-4 intys :/

Ya, few people realize how cheaply all of the ceptor and dmg mod BPOs were selling in the old days. Lack of vision by the people who got lucky enough to get them off of their agents is probably the biggest collective blunder in eve history.

A former corpmate who shall remain nameless, travelling from empire to H74, passed out in Ashmarir with autopilot on. Destroyed Type: Armageddon
Another mate passed out on a mining op in 0.5... two of us spent an hour first texting and then phoning him but he was out cold. That boat survived.
The same guy again, thought he could spar in high sec with a mate from another corp without being Concordokened, so long as they were ganged. Lost a faction fitted apoc that time.

Heres some stories from ie-ex for you.
First one happened when ie-ex went north to attack G and IRON at "home" a little. Friend of mine is out solo-ganking in his rax when a hauler and his escort jumps into him. They gang warp out of cloak and ofcourse the hauler is much slower to align then his escort. My friend scramble and pop. Out drops a can with T2 items worth in the area of 300 million aswell as 1 faction and 3 T2 frigs. He tells us the news over TS and we scurry over as fast as we can to take the loot. Unfortunatly the northerners beat us there and kills my friends rax. He warps his pod to a safe and lurks. Then one of us arrives in a cov ops and sets up a sling to the faction frig. In warp my friends pod and joink takes the frig witch imidiatly gets blown up by its former owners. My friend warp his pod back to safe. The northerners have now managed to summon a new hauler who proceeds to scoop the T2 items ONLY TO EJECT FROM THE HAULER! A new sling is set up and again my friend warps in and this time gets into their hauler. Ofcourse he gets scrambled but one of the northerners (presumably the former hauler pilot) is screaming in local "dont kill him!". Eventually one of the tacklers runs out of cap or something and my friend warp out.
The other one happened at home in Stain. We got a report of 3 VC pilots heading towards our system. 1 interdictor, 1 cov ops and 1 raven. We set up a bubble and wait. When the cov ops jump into system and stays there for like 2 minutes we think its all over, they will go safe and log until we get bored, but no. The raven and the interdictor jump in and warp to our bubble. Boom goes the interdictor but not the raven. When its all over it just hangs there for several minutes. I am close to its can and deciede to open it and we find out exactly why the raven hasent gone boom. Because of the lag when his can was formed. He was hauling 574 blueprints, out of witch 68 originals, IN A RAVEN!

Fitting a MWD onto a Thorax to do a L3 mission right after Exodus came out. Getting blown up. Spending 2 hours getting new ship and refitting. Doing same mission again with exact same fitting (yes, including the MWD, yes it was deadspace *shrugs*).

My funniest blunder.
I was CEO of the corp Dukes of Hazard. We were a small corp of nubs, i hand picked from SAK. We decided North Western Lonetrek would be our home.
Anyway me and 2 members from another corp decided to go NPC'n in Pureblind. We hit EWOK and begin our festivities. an hour into it we notice s******ly jump into system. We begin talken in local to the pilot(who claimed to be in a hauler).
Next 2 more jump into system. We have 2 ravens and a mega. Now this was b4 i constanly used TS, so while i had local up, the others were in gang chat. The mega pilot makes a SS, then returns to give us the bm for it. just as i reach the can i see an explosion. one mega pilot down. i scoup the bms, load em in my ppl n places, then scream banzai. well what was a 3vs3 now turned to a 3vs me. The mega pilot warped out after seeing the raven pop. Any one whose flown with me knows how i am. i try n take all 3 out.
Well needless to say im popped. I get my pod to the gm gate and hug it.
In local i see them begin to call for a ransom. "hahaha" i yell back. "try n get my pod, it helps if ur near to ransom me". Then they respond, not you. We are ransoming Sharrigan(mega pilot). HNow im dumbfounded. How did the find him? well they got the ss bm from the can he dropped. it was the first raven pilots bm for the ss. he never was able to get it.
We lost all 3 bses that nite

I had 17billion in my wallet at the time, so now i just keep 1 billion in my wallet and keep the rest in an alt so I cant make that mistake again...

Hmm. This is a neat thread..
Biggest CCP Blunders:
Balance: Level 4 agents screwing with risk vs reward, and causing a movement of players from 0.0 into empire, in a patch termed "EXODUS". Absolutely nothing beats that.
Damage Control: Undoing the accidental release of one Jovian mining laser by replacing it with a Miner 2 BPO, effectively allowing a few corps like Techell to sustain a pure monopoly for weeks and weeks on end.
Events: Gallente elections, lol.
Personal: GM taking back two battleships I had stolen from safespot just before downtime, and giving it back to their previous owner, claiming it was a bug with a previous transfer request. Resulted in both the owner and me getting an apoc and raven out of it, then the owner placing them back at the same safespot a week later, effectively allowing me to steal the same two ships twice.
Biggest Political Blunders:
Ragnar's staged coup against those who voted to support TTI dring the Evol-VA war, then allying himself with pirates like SPVD and Algazara's corp who ditched them when they stopped getting cheap ships. Resulted in the near fatal collapse of TTI, the largest and richest corp in beta and early retail.
NSA leaders making pre-emptive plans against BoB while allied to them, and being completely oblivious to the BoB spies within their alliance. Refusing terms and declaring hostilities while 95% of their pilots decided to give up within a few days, effectively dismantling one of the largest northern alliances.
Curse Alliance being the first to adopt NBSI policy, then seek alliances with FA and PA against BoB, which never materialized because of past hostilities and mistrust and the dealings being posted publically on these boards. Then blaming the subsequent military defeats to m0ovolution/BoB on the miners in their alliance which resulted in the formation of various sub-factions within the CA.
Biggest ISK Blunders:
1 trit for 100mil isk, then Roark placing a bounty on the person who refused to send it back, which resulted in even further losses for TTi as various pirates and brigands came to protect him by declaring war on TTI.
JVol buying two malkuth launchers in Orvolle the other day for 7bil isk.
Khatred losing a 30bil isk outpost construction platform to 4S Corporation, because he failed to accommodate for adequate protection.
Biggest Personal Blunders:
Fitting a cloak to my rifter during the GNW, when they were first released from the Jovian event. Scanned down a pod and started shooting at it, realizing I did not have enough ammo, calling Estarriol from Evolution to help me. Right clickeding on the pod to hit approach, only to find out it was empty, and ended up boarding it just as my rifter and estarriol's merlin finished it off. Got sent back to Gehi, some 80 jumps away from Venal - leaving a Rifter with a 150mil isk cloak sitting in space. Got my implants and clone reimbursed, and Rifter recovered, but it left me out of the war for a good week. Was the only time I lost a clone in any sort of "pvp". :)
Buying some Modal Mega Neutrons for my Blasterthron for 27mil each and undocking after a major patch, engaging an npc hunting Armageddon with no spare cap charges in my cargo, then finding out the boosts done to pulse lasers were pretty severe. Was the only time I lost a battleship in pvp, to sheer stupidity on my part, Wheya the Khanid RPer was the one that got me I believe ;)

Ywev was the first to do it though
It was a dominix, not sure about how he managed to shoot himself though. But it ended up with someone else chasing it frantically in a Bantam while it continued on its merry journey.
Speaking of ejecting...

Jumped in to a camp in Doril in a crusader, no problem usually i can warp away before those inties can catch me.... but not when i press the wrong bm and approach the gate i just came through with only an afterburner... needless to say i didnt last long and was podded aswell  Damn Tyrell corp!

Mine has to be the time I was in Fade LONG ago, I was leading military op's at the time and I decided I need to go get new implant's.. So I quickly podded myself to empire to pick them up. Got them all at one station in Nonni..
Just about to undock on corp members on TS tell me jokers are inc and they need help, so I undock in a shuttle to pod jump back to my ship to help them out..
Totaly forgeting about implants

I doubt he was the first. I managed to pod myself about a month into the game. My mate and I were having noob frigate battles in Syndicate (it was pretty safe out there them) and I had accidentally hit board ship on his noobie ship that was exploding, about the same time he ejected to get a new one...I managed to do this while my other ship still had the shoot command, and entering the ship as it blew up podded me.
The GM thought I was nuts.
Even better, the other guy (Bongbla) came out of the station somehow inside of my ship, which was moving 30,000km/s.
Dang EVE was buggy back then.

Best Zitek story by far :
Sirppala System, Kaalakiota Factory Station
"So in short, these ****ers need killing. Get moving."
The agent was getting disturbingly bloodthirsty. Granted, vital research materials and such were missing, but for someone who claimed to not sully his hands with all that sordid weaponry garbage, this was somewhat unexpected. It was like a small chihuahua baring its teeth at a wolfhound and fully expecting the 120-pound killer to roll over and play dead.
Now, despite feeling somewhat put-upon, I knew my own limits. I may be a better fighter than Mr. Stay-In-Station-And-*****-Daily, but I know when I - and more importantly, my Incursus frigate - are outmatched.
So I did the next-best thing. When the going gets tough, the tough call in reinforcements. A quick scan of the local comchannels located a fellow Zitek member in the area. Opening up my corporate comms, I quickly and decisively begged for help.
Kuntuna (the aforementioned corpmate) was glad to help. Forming up into a gang, we made best speed for the location of the Gurista group that offended the Caldari State, the civilized nations, CONCORD, the Sisters of Eve, the Amarr High Theoarch, half of the Gallente (the other half supported them on general principles), my aunt Tesoko, and most importantly, my bloodthirsty agent.
We sighted the enemy and with my Incursus bravely covering the rear, Kuntuna opened up with his Caracal's torpedo launchers. Red, yellow, and blue plasma flares lit the near space as torpedos streaked towards their targets. Kuntuna made short work of the three Gurista targets, so quick as to have a salvo still enroute when the last pirate ship exploded into tritanium dust, globs of engine coolant, and shreds of whatever ****ographic magazine the pirate pilot was busy utilizing when he was ambushed.
I thanked Kuntuna for his assistance, decided to quickly grab the lost research materials from a dropped canister and headed full-speed towards the location of the canister - the same location that was programmed into the last torpedo salvo's navigation computers as it was the last location that the pirate craft occupied.
Some of you may already be smiling. You're bastards, the lot of you.
My Incursus (Long Horn) deserves some introduction. It is designed for maximum velocity at any cost. Nanofiber internal structure, afterburners out the wazoo, and most importantly, a microwarpdrive. Given a good day, a clear path, and a lot of alcohol for its pilot prior to launch, it can do almost 4 kilometers per second.
From my position behind Kuntuna's Caracal, I got a bearing on the can and engaged all boosters. My Incursus shuddered and accelerated to almost 2km/s, quickly streaking towards the can, at this point almost 40 km away.
The torpedos, however, were only 20km away. On the same vector.
More of you are smiling now. You're still bastards.
Accelerating for all it's worth, my Incursus streaked directly towards the cans...and directly into the torpedos. From behind.
Note to self: poking a Mjolnir torpedo in its (lit) plasma motor with the long sensor boom of an Incrusus at a relative velocity of 2km/s (and accelerating) is a bad idea.
Next thing I knew, I was overshooting the cans, most of my armor was gone, my left engine cluster was being deposited behind me in bite-sized chunks, and Kuntuna's incredulous laughter was ringing in my ears.
Probably all of you are laughing now. You're double-bastards.
My agent got his damn research materials (a whopping 600 Mexallion). Kuntuna got to shoot his torpedos off. A few mid-ranking Gurista pilots got to sample the fine experience of clone activation.
And I learned that poking live torps from the rear is a bad idea.
I'm going to go kick my agent in the nuts now. On general principles.
Please all send 1 isk to the character "Crescend" for his pain to torment him some more :D

Best blunder I can recall...was ratting in lowsec in a Moa. Having loaded my cargo with mostly crap loot, I move to a gate to a .5 system. There are two RUS in local. I shrug, "dunno anything about them, have seen them before and no trouble". Warp ceases, I'm approaching this .5 gate at a reasonable speed and boom, Maller and Geddon warp in, locking me right as I jump through. The gate activates twice once I'm on the other side. /me thinks this is interesting and, now in safe space, I click warp to dock. Ship uncloaks / geddon locks me / proceeds to fire on me in safespace. I kick on shieldboost and warp out. A minute passes and I warp back to this gate to investigate his can, which is there, and was able to take what his mate in the Maller didn't. I notice that my wallet is flashing...someone has bought something for 5mill. Oh, it was that Omen i had on the market in this system...the buyer? Well, he needed a new ship didn't he?.
The second best i recall...we were at war with GODS, before F-E, and one of our guys lost a Vigil. Well, one of our then Unassociated Alliance m8s decides that he doesnt want anything in our guy's can to fall into enemy hands, so, in Isikano, he locks and destroys the can. Seconds after, Concord wastes his Tempest...you tell me

Foundation declaring -V- KOS.
They thought we were helping .5. fighting Foundation, while in fact we had no interest at all in that fight. We really were neutral in that matter, but then the declaration came and to us it was an invitation to come and join the fight.
So we did. We all know how that ended

Funniest Blunder I can think of.
A corp mate who shall remain nameless loseing something like 5 BS's/T2 ships in less than 24 hours.
How? He would go and camp a gate.....and then fall asleep at said gate......
DoH!
Lost in the darkness of Space,
I scream my lovers cold name,

Historical: While in VA, someone from an overtly pirate corp ordering several thousand units of megacyte from a mining corp and asking to have it delivered C.O.D. Unbelievably an indy shows up a few hours later, promptly gets ganked, we scoop the mega and lofao.
Recent: Surprised no-one has mentioned this yet - Just Mack helping Kayo do an agent mission, doesn't notice they'd just jumped into a 0.7 system from 0.4, or that Kayo had recently moved his char to another corp. Thinks it'd be funny to fire a torp at him and gets ganked by CONCORD. The ship? Rattlesnake + faction mods, approximate value 3BN isk .

Ikvar put a scorp on market and added to many zeros on accident and ended up paying 620 million in broker fees.
It was 660m actually, the GMs did give me the ISK back though which was nice.
Story was I was flying around solo in an Enyo during our war vs ISS and I ran into a lone Nossadom in Ours, so I docked, bought a scorp, loaded it with gallente jammers torps and NOS and undocked to fight him. At this point I realise he's logged off so I redock and attempt to sell the stuff. I put it all on the market, get back in my Enyo and fly off. As I'm approaching the Renyn gate I check my wallet and have a big 'WTF' moment. I then look at my transaction journal and saw this. I petitioned and luckily a few days later this arrived back in my wallet. GMs ftw!

Back before they had alliance chat or secure channels for that matter alliances had to rely on basic chat channels. Some NORAD member invited a pirate into their official alliance chat. That pirate proceeded to invite his entire buddy list of pirates who proceeded to invite their entire buddy list. Well the situation exploded from there (with people logging on their noob alts and inviting everyone in noob chat) and the next thing you know the channel has hundreds of people in it from various factions most of whom have no clue whats going on. It was absolute madness that went on for about an hour and in the middle of it all Jade Constantine was RPing in it.
"First person to convo BoBGhengisKahn gets a free battleship."
Biggest blunder? Probably not, but it was comedy gold.
That was me and chode, we went on to your ts server and chode asked on ts to be invited to the channel spelling out his name to a channel full of the people we had been killing that day, whilst I was on ts with my own name too chatting away about getting a mining op started.
I was absoloutly hammered that night, we did get just about every1 we knew to join that channel, then you kicked us from ts and alliance channel so we went to shinras old ts server and that was the first time we heard daakkon sing barbie girl
And it was pure comedy
I blew up a hauler in fountain and had opened the can to find just over 100k of mega/Zyd, meanwhile another cruiser warped in so I locked and fired and poof went the can
Was a bit...er...very drunk and was trying to get our af/ceptor gang out of deklein, Godwin had gang leader cause he had the bms, so I told him I scanned the gate and it was clear, so just as he begins to warp us I realise I had scanned the wrong gate and we warped right into a gank squad with bubble.....lots died, but I survived.
I wasnt online, but the other guys had an op going and were heavily camped in, lifewire was leading and was in a covert ops, everybody was semi afk but alligned to gate when life hit gang warp instead of warp to scout the enemy.
Before low slot tanking I was flying an mwding gank setup blasterthron, I mwd 60km to a rona kia guy, problem was that when I got to his raven I had ran outta cap and had no pwr to fire, lucky he was npc fitted (no scrambler) and I just warped away humiliated
When I was a noob I killed a mining bs out in the vale and looted a Large C5-l and 5 miner II, about 60-70mil back then, on the way back I jumped into p3en and warped to obe gate where I found a few tfc bs and decided to do a suicide mission totally forgetting about the pot of gold I had in my cargo

Ragnar's staged coup against those who voted to support TTI dring the Evol-VA war, then allying himself with pirates like SPVD and Algazara's corp who ditched them when they stopped getting cheap ships. Resulted in the near fatal collapse of TTI, the largest and richest corp in beta and early retail.
Sorry, what?

The biggest blunder ever in eve no matter what anyone says was the Curse Alliance allowing Foyle to get into a position of power merely to irritate a few people that some didn't like or agree with. This single event, though drawn out over a long period of time, was the catalyst for the downfall of the Curse Alliance.
