Bagrat Skalski Poseidaon 8883	Posted - 2015.08.28 07:08:57 - [31] - Quote Falken Falcon wrote: I'm planning on buying a phoenix IbanezLaney wrote: Dumbest thing I ever did in eve was start a trial account in 2009 just to see what EVE was all about. I even remember saying to myself - 'PAY MONTHLY TO PLAY A GAME!!! - NEVER!!!' This, but 2011 for me. I was half forced/half curious to see what eve is about and i told my self i would not be playing after trial due to the monthly subscription that i was funamentally against and eve didn't seem that good anyways.. Then the trial ended 4-+ years later.. Are you me or am I you? Good thing PLEX was relatively cheap those days.

Daniela Doran Ministry of War Amarr Empire 94	Posted - 2015.08.28 07:52:20 - [32] - Quote First was getting starting and enduring the learning curve of this game, because Diablo 3 was right around the corner which I never got into playing thanks to this game. Second was losing 2 Bill in the markets within minutes after putting in an extra digit by mistake when I put in buy orders for 2 deadspace ENAMs. Third was quitting Eve midway when I biomassed all 8 of my characters (except one) back in early 2013 because of what CCP did to the Hurricane and Drake. Fourth was ignoring missile boats and training all turret based ships when I returned to eve in mid 2014. Fifth was losing 12+ Bill iskies when I put in buy orders to buy the CA-3/CA-4 Implants at 600 mill each during eve's anniversary (I wasn't aware of this) and ended up with 34 of them only to witness the market plummet within 24 hours thanks to CCP childish prank. Luckily I'm very good at managing funds so I've recovered from this.

Siminuria The Executives Executive Outcomes 0	Posted - 2015.08.28 10:18:35 - [38] - Quote 1) Undocked a carrier from a kick out station in low sec without checking local. I thought I was just going to undock and cyno out. The 30 man fleet camping the station thought otherwise. 2) "Discovered" the new freeform contracts (essentially the only feature of eve ever created with no purpose other than as a scamming device) the hard way.
Max Fubarticus The Scope Gallente Federation 15	Posted - 2015.08.28 10:34:05 - [39] - Quote Dumb... 05 or 06 (?) got tired of the usual isk grinding. Used a "not much smarter than me" RMT service. CCP took all isk, assets, and temp banned for 2 weeks. CCP was very gracious and did not perma ban me. Lesson: Don't screw with the EULA or CCP. and dumber... war dec inactive corp, decide to kill POCO's, create warp in BM to enemy POCO's, warp Domi to BM and begin shooting, Concord taps me on shoulder and says "excuse me" (sirens in background, beee dooo beee doooo), Domi goes Pooof! Alt character that created BM... Whoops! wrong POCO, my bad

The Lobsters Stay Frosty.

They were very mean to me I had to hold my own d*ck in the end. That man is the noblest creature may be inferred from the fact that no other creature has contested his claim.

u3pog Caldari Provisions Caldari State 667	Posted - 2015.08.28 14:20:19 - [50] - Quote Oh, you are not even close...good stories, but not even close to mine. 1.Back in '08 I was mining, but I got tired of running back and forth to the station, so I had this "genius" thought to mine in a T1 industrial ship, so I bought a Badger, fitted it with mining lasers and here comes the best part...I used smartbombs to defend myself from rats...So, mining in an industrial with smartbombs! Someone approached me and CONCORD said "Hello!" No safety back then 2.Trying to kill a Vexor in a Taranis, close range. 3. Attacking a POS with a Carrier...took 'em 40 minutes to find me and approach me with a Manticore...The rest is clear - I got "honored" by 2 titans and company... 4. Tried to manipulate all trade hubs at once by buying all available items (not buildable) from them. This one actually worked, I managed to get a spike in the price and sold my items for a few days, but it was soo risky and stupid idea... 5. Flying a freighter into Perimeter while at war...I actually forgot about this war, but I got a nice reminder And plenty more, but my number one is the dumbest thing I've done, even if didn't cost me much.

Imagine my surprise trying to burn out of a bubble. I put a 5mn MWD on a Cerberus instead of a 50 and wonder why in hell I was only going 200 m/s in a fight. The good thing Is I didn't die so there is no killmail to let people know of my mistake. ..Wait a minute, did I just tell people of the mistake I made that they would otherwise not know... Damn you internet.

Lord Amaterasu Carebears online 49	Posted - 2015.08.28 21:59:23 - [58] - Quote On my first trial I decided to run courier contracts for easy money. One day I had taken a contract with huge pay without looking at the destination. Cursing myself for this I decided take my cruiser and head to the destination in 0.0 (I didn't want bad reputation.) . When I reached low-sec, suprise suprise, a gatecamp. Losing my horribly fitted caracal was immediate. After I was transfered back to the station I looked at my killmail and realized that my packet had survived. As soon as possible I bought a new caracal and went to retrieve it. Of course I was killed immediately. Did I stop there? Nope, had to try six more. At this point I had lost all of my money. Realising what I had just done made me to biomass my character in shame. It took me 3 months to come back and try again. "You make your own hell."
Joey Bags School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 34	Posted - 2015.08.28 22:21:54 - [59] - Quote JC'd with my +5 clone in the same station. Poof. Took my +5 into lowsec for faction warfare. I forgot to JC. Poof. Figured my bad a## blingy BS could take on two Cynibals. Maybe it might have had I not forgotten to turn on shield mods. Poof. You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose. Unless you podded them...and collected their corpse.
Nicolai Serkanner Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. Brave Collective 468	Posted - 2015.08.28 22:22:41 - [60] - Quote I am sure that the dumbest thing I can do is yet to come ... and that doesn't mean I haven't done very dumb things already but I am very able to outdo myself.
