Tisiphone Dira WiNGSPAN Academy for Enterprising Pilots The WINGSPAN Logo Alliance 591	Posted - 2016.02.05 20:46:44 - [1] - Quote Hello, I'm Tisiphone and I'm a gankster. Or at least I was, not any more. I've left CODE. I've resisted the urge for just over a month now. I still shoot things, but it's all legal, no concord. Curious about what it's really like in the criminal underworld? Want to wish me best of luck in my future 100% legitimate and wholly above board enterprises? Wondering why I gave up the incredibly lucrative gankster life, even though it comes with so many perks including $$$, groupies and adoring worshipers? Then this is the thread for you, I've posted it here in general instead of C&P because this thread is about not being involved in any C or P, so it wouldn't fit there, not at all. I'll be back after my morning run, feel free to ask me anything, 100% honest answers are guaranteed* *terms and conditions apply

Divine Entervention Bridge Four 814	Posted - 2016.02.05 21:47:46 - [9] - Quote So when did you realize you were no longer a horrible person and knew you didn't need to attempt to hurt others to make yourself feel better?
Tisiphone Dira WiNGSPAN Academy for Enterprising Pilots The WINGSPAN Logo Alliance 592	Posted - 2016.02.05 22:43:08 - [10] - Quote 1. Boxers or briefs? Neither, I'm out there Rowells and I'm loving every minute of it! I'm free and unfettered. 2. Can I have your stuff? Sure thing, but there's a bank processing fee of 1 plex to unlock my vast space-price space-fortune, once you send me the administration fee I can then share my vast fortune with you. 3. Why in the world would you turn away from the mad iskies and thrill of making people cry? At some point you have enough mad iskies. 4. I do like that. As do I. 5. What are you going to do now? Change things up a bit. Instead of following the teachings of James 315, Supreme Protector of highsec, I'll be following the teachings of Chance Ravine, Postmaster General of wormhole space. 6. Honestly now , how long did it take to get your head back the right way around? Supisingly quick, all neck problems are solvable with enough force applied according to this chiro I went to. Since then however Ive developed a rather serious complexion and breathing problem. It's very pale, and I don't. Also, my eyes have since been described as corpse-like, which hurts my feelings. 7. This thread could go places I like your optimism. 8. So when did you realize you were no longer a horrible person and knew you didn't need to attempt to hurt others to make yourself feel better? Hurt others? How? It's a video game.

Well, after I get bored of popping every MTU in highsec that is, which might take a while because I'm having a blast. All the best with your future endeavors! My lord.

Telegram Sam Crom's Angels 1505	Posted - 2016.02.06 01:28:56 - [17] - Quote GL Tisiphone Dira, you can do it! If you can get past the 30-day mark, you'll have it whipped! The key is to immediately have a replacement activity. Perhaps something putting your skills at not being a mouth-breather communicator in Local could be interesting.
Neuntausend GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 592	Posted - 2016.02.06 01:35:03 - [18] - Quote Do you think the Teachings of Chance Ravine, Postmaster General of wormhole space are better than the teachings of James 315, Supreme Protector of highsec? Would you even go so far as to say that the latter are false?

Tisiphone Dira WiNGSPAN Academy for Enterprising Pilots The WINGSPAN Logo Alliance 595	Posted - 2016.02.06 01:58:29 - [20] - Quote 9. All the best with your future endeavors! May you rid the universe of the MTU scourge. 10. Are any permits you issued still valid? So long as you follow the new halaima code of conduct I don't see why not. Why not bling your bio with more though, just to be sure. 11 Perhaps something putting your skills at not being a mouth-breather communicator in Local could be interesting thats the thing about wormhole space, you tend to keep quiet in local :( all these mouth-breaking communicator skills and nowhere to apply them! 12., Do you think the Teachings of Chance Ravine, Postmaster General of wormhole space are better than the teachings of James 315, Supreme Protector of highsec? Would you even go so far as to say that the latter are false? They aren't better or worse, just different. The peoples of the two spaces are different, and have a different culture. The highsec carebears need a firmer hand to keep them in line. 13. how will you handle players shooting back? They can what now? 14. can i put your head in a bowling ball polisher? If that's a euphamism, sure.

IMO gangster is what you are now, coward the former. how do you feel about ppl actually showing you respect rather than classing you as a casual scrub who only kills haulers & mining barges? @JerryTPepridge

"Gankster" is what Tisi said..not gangster. I know, reading is hard.

Nothing like a thread for a pampered menial. I'm having a listen now, this is top notch prog rock mate, as good as rush or yes (so far) 17. That's not exactly "mad iskies". You even go through the :effort: of undocking! Oh, my! Sorry for being space poor, please, how can I do better? 18. rude awakening in w-space Yeah, running through highsec as a -10 is a walk in the park. Ganksters are actually in the most difficult space in the game. It goes highsec, sov null, npc null, lowsec, wormhole, highsec as a -10. I'm glad for the easier job. 19. reading is hard So is writing, I only just got my pen license. 20. isd decoy casts remove post I'm sure it wasn't a very good question then, even by the standards of this thread. 21. Not shooting fish is a barrel is... People don't waltz round with plexies in their cargo out here, what's going on!?!?

Morgan Agrivar Agrivar Salvaging and Garbage Disposal 263	Posted - 2016.02.07 08:31:03 - [34] - Quote How much dps should you bring to the table to take out a Retriever in a 0.7 system? Cause I brought 645 and got him into 30% armor before I died. Was just curious... P.S. Hope WINGSPANTT treats you right, it just wasn't for me. I am going back to highsec wardecs cause I need to write more stories and need content. Just something about me...

You've got 10 seconds(+/-1) before Concord respond in a 0.7, a little more if you've pre spawned them elsewhere in system. A fail fit Retriever has around 9500 HP against blaster damage, so you need 950 DPS total, or 2 Catalysts with around 500 DPS each, to munch through it in the allotted time. A properly fitted Retriever will shrug off 2 T2 fitted Catalysts, bring more. Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Aside from the fact that you can make money and not have to share what spoils you have with another dozen or two pilots you might just have the opportunity to find out what it's like blowing up a ship that is not only armed and fighting back but what it's like to be outnumbered and WIN! Killing a ship by ganking is akin to going to war for your country and dying by choking on a wild grape. Welcome to the REAL Eve where heroes are made.

Tisiphone Dira WiNGSPAN Academy for Enterprising Pilots The WINGSPAN Logo Alliance 612	Posted - 2016.02.08 20:29:55 - [44] - Quote 23. Bombs delivered as well? Making a disco proteus right now, do smartbombs count? 24. Thanks Jonah 25. mean words about my importance :( It's what I need right now, I've played with in-game responsibilities and without. for the next few months at least I'm better of without them 26. Maths Maths is hard :( 27. Why did you choose ganking freighters and miners as a life to lead in the first place? More importantly, why CODE. and not somewhere else? This actually goes back to how I joined the game. I joined after the bloodbath of B-R (yes, I'm a b-r baby) but soon fell in with a bad crowd, I was carebearing. I was on the verge of quitting after a couple of months when I saw somebody in a help channel complaining about somebody bumping them off a rock they were trying to mine because they hadn't purchased a permit. The whole thing was hilarious, the bumped miner was raging. From there I discovered minerbumping.com and resolved to give it a shot, rolled a gank alt that day, James 315 kept me in the game. It's true what they say, CODE. are good for retention, I'm an example of a player they saved. 28. Mary ann or ginger? Mmmm, Mary ann by far. 29. Mean words about grapes and courage The gankers are always outnumbered by invincible npcs that impose a strict time-limit. How much more pro can you be? 30. wise words about why we play That's right Lan Wang, why, if I were focused on just the isk I'd be no better than the ones I shot. 31. kind parting words You too Mara, I remember him :D
