I was using my Legion w/ mobile depot to run combat sites in the backwater regions of nullsec space (well aware of the risks, still safer than WH) when this guy comes into local with a Tengu attempting to combat scan me. I warp around, shrug off my combat timer, and then log out.
I go to sleep for eight hours. I wake up, grab some coffee, and then log back in. What do I see? He's still in system and there are two warp bubbles right on top of me. I attempt to move to the out edge and align with another planet, when he uncloaks.
HE WAITED. For eight hours this guy either took shifts with friends or actually parked his toon in that spot, and was ever-vigilant for eight hours.
Fortunately I escaped. He attempted to energy neut me and in the process drained his cap and offlined his disruptor for a few seconds. I waited out the 15-minute combat timer, all the while watching his probes follow me everywhere in the system. I've logged off, and have no idea what to do next.
I could try to enlist help, perhaps mercenaries. I could also wait him out, but I'm not quite sure that would work. He has to sleep at some point, but his friends don't. Logging in again is risky. Any advice would be appreciated. |

I have been 24/7 camped into a station by no-life nullbeards. In a hawk, no less. It is quite absurd; but clearly you are going to have to try and wait them it. Use out of game intel tools or log in on an alt to monitor activity in the area, do some research and figure out what time zone the locals are most active. Maybe use an alt or pay a third party to try and find a wormhole out, or as you said try and get someone to come help.
But yes, my experience with null has been that there are people who do not sleep or have lives and they will take shifts running 24/7 camps for days on end. It is disturbing, but so it goes. You can either try to wait them out, find a way to deal with them, or just take the loss.
If they are Russians, you should probably just log in and self destruct.
(The guys that camped me did so for several days, I logged in multiple times at wildly varying times of day only to find myself immediately followed out of station by an interdictor and multiple ceptors. They did this to kill an assault frigate.) |

Think of it this way, if Darth Vader had stayed at Tatoonie instead of returning to the Death Star, R2D2 would never have made it off-planet and the Empire would have won.

This. Hopefully you have at least one other character you can do stuff on, thus satisfying your EVE habit while some ****** wastes days sitting in a null backwater waiting for you to log in.

For some reason, I have a feeling that this is hurting me more than it's hurting him, given that it's likely that someone willing to do this has multiple alts that he can play with while he waits for me. He's probably also using a splitscreen application that allows him to play without switching windows constantly. |

All I have is a passive trade/research/T2 manufacturing alt. :( |

I don't understand. How did he get bubbles at your login position? Or was he just still in system and you landed in one of his bubbles?

I think he managed to scan me down and was warping to my position as I finished the log-off timer. |

If you have an alt that can cloak, then take it to the system and cloaky camp until the system is clear, then login and continue on your way.

Ah those poop-bucket owning no-lifers. Gotta hand it to them. We are all dying one minute at a time and they chose to use their limited number of heartbeats to do that! |

Yeah, so terrible that people are able to do in life the things they enjoy, in this case play a game. Just disgusting. That camper should be grinding his life out working for someone else like the rest of us. He should be married to debt, paying all of his income out without saving much through life and then maybe enjoying some short retirement someday. Man, that's the life. How dare he buck the system.

It's not necessarily the case that he was no lifing your warp in for 8 hours. It's possible that he bubbled your logoff position and was in system when you logged back in. Warped to the spot cloaked, spotted you and uncloaked for the kill.

Hey if they enjoy sitting in the same spot for eight hours and missing the rest of the EVE universe during that time more power to them. I would be out exploring! |

Watch lists make sitting in the same spot unnecessary and game of alts makes it possible to do many things while with one character in system going about other things.
There's a lot of hunters in this game who enjoy the challenge of catching characters in these situations, everything from small ships to Titan killers. They manage to do many other things while waiting.

Yes, pretty sure this is what happened. In which case you were lucky not to die just before logging off. He was probably already on the way when you disconnected.

If he ran out of cap as you say, that means his hardeners would offline too. Why not turn around and stomp on his ass? You may not kill him without a scram but he would run away leaving you alone. Bait him and fight. If you're running combat sites I'm guessing your tanked and can do dps. Slap him a bit. Be more fun than what you're currently doing.

Sorry for your troubles.
Some people really like to stroke their killboards..
Nothing better to bump your board than a explo Legion that you know isnt equipped to defend. Camp it 24/7 then link the kill to everyone to assert your "skillz". |

I forgot to mention it, but he cyno'd in a black ops as well. Not to mention the fact if I want to leave nullsec, I'll need to refit for exploration/cloak, which requires me to use my mobile depot. I can't do that if he's in system. |

You can kill the other pilot.
But then the question arises: "How can you kill that which has no life?"
