Jeremiah Saken The Fall of Leviathan 185	Posted - 2015.01.02 16:14:27 - [92] - Quote Logged for half hour. Droped probes, serpentis DED 3 on scanner, Started to doing it when Ishtar warped to site and did trigger to next room, Followed Ishtar, he already did overseer and started to tractor wreck, So pi.... off, shoot his wreck, got concorded, gila+300mil in cargohold lost... my first time (and last) when i shoot missiles at other player. I filled myself with jim beam and went to buy another gila. Bacon tastes so much better when it's marinated in vegan tears. I am the night. I'm Bantam. More exploration in exploration
Saai Einjhar Black Ice Tactical Echelon 0	Posted - 2015.01.02 16:41:18 - [93] - Quote I once secretly orchestrated a pirate attack on my own corp's mining operation just to promote some action and good times.
War Kitten Panda McLegion 5714	Posted - 2015.01.02 18:39:10 - [94] - Quote I once sold an officer large armor repairer that was worth ~350M for 350k. THAT contract got snapped up in a hurry after I advertised it in Jita! I count my 0s more carefully now :) I once lost a set of LG Slave implants in lowsec while trying to warp to the sun to escape. After several failed attempts to warp and screaming at the computer, someone finally put me out of my misery. Epic facepalm moment ensued when I remembered we had been fighting at the sun... I was in a shield-tanked ship at the time too, for added lulz. I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

My guns were in my cargohold, due to lack of skills. I was in Spacemonkey's Alliance. Beat this! Makes sense then , anything less then a kestrel full of plex wouldn't even be noticed there . And for the question most emberassing ... well i've done a shitload of stupid stuff in eve but as it is a game i never really felt ashamed . We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Ned Thomas Hellbound Turkeys Alliance of Abandoned Cybernetic Rejects 559	Posted - 2015.01.02 20:26:04 - [98] - Quote I was mining in Hibi in my Procurer one night, about halfway through my second drink, when my alliance director asks if I want to pop down to his lowsec system and mine some gnesis. Sure, why the hell not? He tells me they've got some ships down there for me to use, but no, I say, I'll just bring my own. So I jump my Proc four jumps down into lowsec and start mining with them. A few folks from my small alliance, a few people from a local corp we were friends with, and then a handful of others ratting in the belts and promising to come shoot things if things started shooting us. I fill up on the prismatic and go to pour myself another round. When I get back, everyone is bailing from the ore site because there's apparently a fleet moving through the near by systems and it was quittin' time. So I bail out......through the gate, not to the station where they had blockade runners ready to take the ore back to highsec and shuttles for all. No, I decided that I was going to take my slow ass barge back through four lowsec jumps with a hostile fleet running around. The rest writes itself. There was a maller on the other side of the gate because of course there was. And that maller was watching the gate on behalf of said fleet because of course they were. So I says to myself "Self, let's play a game. See if you can down this third glass of rum and coke before they kill you." I break cloak, immediately pointed because I was still using a maximum tank proc with no stabs, and then the fleet shows up. A couple marauders, handful of cruisers, five or six assault frigates. I fire up my hardeners, launch drones because I have drones to launch, and just chug the rum. And then I pop and, as a small victory, I managed to save my pod for the first time in my Eve career. Didn't finish the drink though. Got back to hisec and mined a little more. Vote Sabriz!
Herzyr Ministry of War Amarr Empire 18	Posted - 2015.01.04 18:26:42 - [99] - Quote I cannot let go of the fear of spending more ISK than I make, even though I love shooting stuff and I enjoy getting shooted at. This prevents me from enjoying EvE fully. But its always calling me back, gently caressing my ear telling me that ''It will be fine this time darling, just give it a chance''.
Foodpimp xHELLonEARTHx Against ALL Authorities 188	Posted - 2015.01.05 02:07:45 - [100] - Quote Thor Kerrigan wrote: So the idea is simple: post the most embarrassing, terrible, or secret thing that has happened involving you in EVE. Post with your main (if you dare) or random NPC alt, doesn't matter. Obviously, I'll start: I was once awoxed by a corp member years back (on a now inactive trial account). I was still pretty new to the game but my kestrel was given no mercy. To this day, I have this character on watchlist hoping I can one day return the favor... However, I cherish the thought that perhaps I am on someone's similar list today . Have fun! I subscribed to Eve Online.
Kalwas Denitas 7	Posted - 2015.01.05 03:10:55 - [101] - Quote I got caught up in a raffle in the Radio channel back when it was more popular.. ended up giving all my isk away thinking I would be popular in the channel.. billions of isk and only a day later I was roused by hundreds of people over a simple comment about a dj. I was younger, and dumber. It happens. Not that embarrassing but I remember it well. It's funny how our "characters" grow with us over the years in regards to our own maturity, intelligence, gullability, etc. I can't really name an online experience that can parallel my own life like EVE does simply because our interactions matter so much in game. My second would probably be when I was halted on a gate by a gang and I gave up my Hyperion simply because they ordered me to. I hadn't been playing long and could barely fly it. I was sad at first, but that event is what fueled my drive to learn Pvp.
Qn'qura Zalas Zula Aeon Ascendant 9	Posted - 2015.01.05 04:25:19 - [102] - Quote Was trying to buy parts to fit an incursus while drunk, , it didn't go well. following day I found out why. The ion blasters i bought were a bit too big (Ion siege Blasters) , bye bye several hundred million isk.

Barbara Nichole Cryogenic Consultancy 664	Posted - 2015.01.05 11:12:24 - [104] - Quote I decided it was a good time to rearrange my cargo by jetting a full can of freshly mined ore right next to a player from BoB... -á-á- remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not-á "afk" cloaking-á- [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a208/DawnFrostbringer/consultsig.jpg[/IMG]
Leannor Central Builders Incorporated Northern Associates. 43	Posted - 2015.01.05 17:59:50 - [105] - Quote One of my Alts lead a several hundred strong fleet into a certain part of 0.0, and their certain doom. Carrying several weeks worth of POS fuel in many expanded iterons for several POS (back then that was alot of Iterons, in the pre Capital age). Not to mention a bucket load of isk, a fortune in that time. We'd had assurances of Blue status from all sides we'd pass through (this was also before alliances were in game mechanisms and before blue settings actually worked in space, alliance wise). We got halfway, then both sides of a certain pipe descended upon us, Red-Sea-no-longer-parted style. A handful made it through, but probably 95% of the cargo and well over 70% of the convoy got wiped out within a few minutes. ... the remainder got wiped out a few hours later when they thought things had calmed down. Although people may say I was not solely responsible, as the architect and initiator I do feel it. I was new back then. And ... have to admit, what a fracking rush it was! A day worthy of remebering. So much action, so much team work, so much adrenaline. Learnt alot too. (We did eventually make it up there and live peacefully in our second attempt).

Guttripper State War Academy Caldari State 589	Posted - 2015.01.05 18:30:21 - [107] - Quote Since I have a pack rat mentality and while I've had this account close to nine plus years, since I have actually "played" the game two, maybe three years at best (skill training online), I have never seen one billion plus ISK in my wallet...
Provence Tristram Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2015.01.06 07:47:27 - [108] - Quote I've been playing off and on for 10 years and have never seriously PvPed outside getting jumped at gates. I really want to get into PvP at some point, but I've always felt myself to be too unskilled/low-SP/poor to contribute.
Provence Tristram Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2015.01.06 08:34:52 - [109] - Quote Quote: Back in 2008... One thing that has always amazed me about MMORPGs is how "guild drama" (okay, corp drama, but I digress...) is a universal. Someone you thought you knew and/or trusted flips out over something totally inoccuous (or totally hilarious/awkward), loses their minds, refuses to back down, attempts a ninja, and then, regardless of success or failure, tries to destroy the organization. I guess that the lesson in this -- if there is a lesson at all -- is that people, across the board, are pretty friggin' stupid. I understand that these individuals are necessary as a foil so that the true luminaries amongst us can shine all the brighter. But it doesn't negate the fact that the dumb fall into patterned behavior, and in MMORPGs, this is one of those patterns. I once belonged to a guild in WoW where the GM was trading epics through the DKP system for cybering. When it finally came out, similar drama ensued. I also once had a WoW guild break up because I (the GM) took the gold (like barely 700g) out of the bank to buy a new bank tab (essentially just reinvesting it), and one of the officers flipped out so badly because of the 'theft' that it shattered the guild. People are very strange. Stupid, as I mentioned earlier, yes, but damned strange, too.
Marcus Gord Pyre Falcon Defence and Security 77979	Posted - 2015.01.06 10:47:34 - [110] - Quote missioning with a friend many years ago in our first battleships, doing worlds collide, it's my friends mission. pulse tanked rokh was mine. i was woefully underskilled and shitfit. we did the last room of one side, got the ships crew mission item in my cargo, and went back to the first room to do the other side. i warped in first, and as i cleared the acceleration gate, my screen goes black. and stays black. i tell my friend this on TS, as he's following me in. he tells me i'm just sitting there, getting pounded on. and it's not looking good. my first BS goes boom while i can't do anything about it and the loot fairy says no with regard to the mission item. my friend never let me live it down, even now after almost 5 years.

Alpheias Euphoria Released Triumvirate. 8019	Posted - 2015.01.06 10:51:48 - [111] - Quote I have been nice to people. Allow me to be frank. You will not like me. You will not like me now, and you will not like men++ a good deal less as we go on.

Herzog Wolfhammer Sigma Special Tactics Group 6018	Posted - 2015.01.06 16:37:07 - [113] - Quote ISD Dorrim Barstorlode wrote: I once did something to get concorded, forgetting about what happens when you undock while your timer is still up. Two lost ships for the price of, well, two. I was playing with one of my ex's kids one day and he thought he could duel with me as if it were WoW. This was in 2006. Anyway he was concorded and lost his Cyclone. Had not even played a month and it was his first BC too. He cries about it in local and some space rich veterans give him ISK. He buys another Cyclone and then undocks it to go get modules. ... while the GCC was still on and got popped again Think the story is over? No. He was given enough ISK for 2 Cyclones. So he gets a new one and does not undock right away. He leaves to get modules. And gets ganked in Amamake. He was actually jumping up and down screaming "That's it! I'm not playing this game any more!!!". Oh the lols. Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Nalha Saldana Shattered Void Spaceship Samurai 874	Posted - 2015.01.07 06:31:59 - [115] - Quote I lost my first battleship to rogue drones with wrong hardeners and no small drones, my large ones couldnt kill the tacklers due to lack of skills so i slowly smelted over a few minutes.
Aralyn Cormallen Wildly Inappropriate Goonswarm Federation 648	Posted - 2015.01.07 09:55:58 - [116] - Quote I lost a half-fit scorpion with its launchers still in the cargo-hold because "base is only one jump-bridge away, and the skill will be trained tomorrow to fit them". Seems an enemy fleet was in the process of reinforcing that jump-bridge as I came through it Second best was the "afk ishtar" that I lost to rats the first day I tried it out... worst thing, I wasn't even really afk, I was at my desk reading a book with one eye on the screen for hostiles entering local. Didn't realise I should also occasionally glance at my damage bars "eh, what, theres no-one else in local, why has my shield alert just sounded...oh". Not so afk as I thought

Not so afk as I thought Oh, my, done this so many times. In the times before sound alerts, IGÇÖd often be happily ratting/missioning whatever GÇª and be so focused on something (targeting, chatting, looking aimlessly at pretty spacescape, zooming into a distant star, rotating the camera) that IGÇÖd totally forget IGÇÖd not switched on any tank or even if I had, just realise in time that I was into Hull. Warp out with ~5% Hull left GÇª flames coming out from every direction. Possibly my embarrassing loss though (and most infuriating) was taking a Domi into a level 2 mission I think. I was all, ok, not sure what the mission is, but IGÇÖll be safe in a domi, whatever it can throw at me, so itGÇÖll be cool, and I can whizz through it. As whizzing through a bunch of missions was my aim for whatever reason. So, I fit it out, gallantly warp in and GÇª Scrambled by like ten frigates. Forgot to put in drones. Guns canGÇÖt hit the damn ships. Eventually the full mission spawns, as I sit there, immobile, and unable to warp GÇª and over possible the slowest 30-45minutes EVER the Domi slowly realises itGÇÖs inevitable fate, and dies. To a bunch of Atrons and a Vexor. Shame. The thing that got me was that from the first few seconds into it, I knew my fate, and my stupidity and the outcome. It was one of those occasions that mad me stop playing for a few weeks. Lol. "Lykouleon wrote: STOP TOUCHING ICONIC SHIP PARTS"
Mattpat139 Sukarala Black Fox Marauders Spaceship Bebop 11	Posted - 2015.01.07 13:29:13 - [118] - Quote Oh, why not I'll post with my main . Here's a wall of text for a long story. So, I had a friend in gal-mil by the name of {redacted} and he was training to become an fc (wasn't half bad for being a ceo as well) after i noticed my corp starting to go downhill, I joined his. It wasn't half, bad 2-5 close knit guys. Over time he began to get down on himself, but got really excited whenever we went wormhole exploring from our corner of lowsec. stopd fcing altogther shortly after . I told him after 2-3 weeks of this "I'll join the big corp in the alliance and you can go do what you want, we'll pass the corp to someones dead alt." . He said "thank you, I'll check with the other guys to make sure they agree". So he left on his journey and we went our seperate ways. About 3 weeks later he invites me to a convo. Apparently Zam Hunter (another FC in galmil) ganked his WH Legion. He wanted revenge and asked me to gather intel on Zam, I initially said "no, give me time to think". I sat and thought for an hour about how I could get paid without backstabbing on of my fellow militamen and one of our prominent leaders. I decided on feeding false intel. convo with him "accepted". I tell Him "I'll do it for 250 million minimum", one reply "done". I spent the next few hours storming up battleship fits and other shiny things (without fitting importation from eft this wouldn't be possible). I sent him 1 new fitting a week for 4 weeks. I asked the next time I saw he was online "Mind if i ask who's doing the dirty work?". He replied "camel empire however they require 7 billion for a price on this, anything else is spilt between us". "ok, how much more do you need?" I asked. "500 million". It's at this point i bit my lip to keep from laughing, knowing full well they'll hunt him from Black Rise to Cobalt Edge. With a smile I prepare one last fitting. 1 gila fit later I had 500 million, had protected Zam Hunter (had told him what happened) and stabbed one of my friends in the back for trying to betray the place he called home for 1 year prior. afaik camel empir might be hunting down my ex-ceo for 7 billion now (TL;DR Dont trust people who are loyal to gather your intel)
Iain Cariaba 852	Posted - 2015.01.07 20:37:54 - [119] - Quote Most embarassing thing I've ever done in EvE? I once agreed with Veers Belvar in a thread. Not even a long, hot shower made me feel clean after that one. EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
