In celebration of CCP's unwavering commitment to mechanical reduction of interesting opposition, Tippia's account lapses in the first week of July. After 8-+ years, since it's nigh on impossible to get killed around here, the number of deaths this poor little highsec carebear has accrued over that time is nothing short of pathetic, and here, at the end of all things, that situation needs to be remedied.
So yes, you can have my stuff. You just have to earn it, so come and get it.
What's all this then?
Starting June 24, I still very carelessly ship what little remaining junk I have from my almost decade-old home in Irjunen to nearby Kubinen. I invite you all to violently take it from me. I am going to use these ships to move this stuff, and with a bit of luck, none of it will make it there.
What I will do.
With 52 ships to move, that's potentially 208 jumps to get through (plus a return trip, if everything goes wrong), giving ample opportunity to crate a few wrecks, but it may stil take a while.
So between 1800 and 2200 EVE time, on the 24th and every subsequent evening until I run out of stuff to haul, I will pick one of those ships, throw some of the junk in there, and set off using my regular method of careless flying. Some ships will be sensibly fitted; most will not. Anything that arrives safely at the destination will be deposited there. Big ships will carry big stuff; small ships (mostly) smaller stuff; and some of the more annoying ships will carry the more worth-while goods.
What you should do.
Blow me up, of course. There's loot to be had, and I have 4.7bn ISK worth of bounties on my head that should take the edge off of any more suicidal attacks. But there's also another option: at the end of each session, any ships and items that have safely made it to the destination will be contracted off to a random sensible participant in this thread. So what do you do? Go for it and hope that the loot fairy is felling generous, it help me make it in the hopes that the RNG will pick your name? Or just pad the killboard? Decisions, decisionsGǪ
Let there be some explosions! |

Back or not, it's still too much junk and if anything, it gets in the way of wanting to get somewhere. So it'll be gone one way or another regardless.
Black Pedro wrote:I hope you get your fight Tippia. I worry though that anyone who reads your notice on these forums and has the disposition to attack you won't out of respect for your years of service. And as we both know, the chance of a random miscreant coming along and trying to explode you is indistinguishable from zero. Doc Fury wrote:Sadly, Doc will not be able to participate, but shares your feelings and will follow soon after as his work is nearly done.
That may be true, but that's why I dreamed up the escape clause: service posting guarantees citizenship lottery participation. Admit it: you're just lazy bums hoping to hit it rich from the luck of the draw. |

Except the battleships GÇö I can't fly those and have had them in my hangar taking up space ever since a corp mate handed them down before he quit. So those get transported as well. I had to get a second Bowhead to fit them all. |

If I remember the fittings on some of those ships correctly, you probably could. At least in Kubinen itself. |

Elizabeth Norn wrote:Are these ill-gotten proceeds from 8.5 years of forum piracy? ;-) Actually, some of it is.
At least two of the PLEXes were earned from people who left the game for some reason and who left them because I had said something clever in opposition to whatever it was that made them leave. Same for a couple of the BPO duplicates.
My bounty definitely is. Too bad that it will now (hopefully) go to the kinds of people who were the opposition to the guys who gave me those bounties. (HmmGǪ I don't really mean Gǣtoo badGǥ, do IGǪ?) |

At any rate, I at least hope that some of the stuff doesn't make it, and for reasons other than the slack-jawed yokels in Kubinen. |

Captain Tardbar wrote:So why are you quitting? Just tired of CCP? That would be the ultra-concise version of it, I suppose.
I started playing EVE because it was a very special oddity of a game where the devs very explicitly promoted and supported a wide range of player-driven gameplay and emergent behaviours. Over the years, as the game and the devs have changed (and that's a chicken-and-egg debate for another time), it has lost a large part of what made it special.
What CCP seemingly wants the game to be, based on their development decisions, is not the game I want to play. At the moment, I'm not sure I can really find it anywhere else either, but that doesn't translate into EVE's still being worth-while GÇö it has simply joined the ranks of games that aren't doing it for me. Instead, I've picked up other games that do other things, and that's entertainment enough for the time being. |

End of day 1, lots of stuff exploded, some stuff didn't.
The losses are available for all to see, and while there were some good loot, the eponymous fairy seems to have a deep aversion to Battlecruiser BPOs and fancy battleships. The Bowhead kill would require an entire symphony orchestra worth of sad trombones to really convey what happened.
(Btw, if anyone knows of a good rule of thumb to value TE/ME research, please chime in GÇö most of the blueprints were maxed out, so whatever they show up as will not be the whole truth).
Out of 26 flights (probablyGǪ if I counted them right, which is doubtful), 9 arrived at their destination, be it through stealth, speed, feinting, or just being a sneaky bastard: an Anathema, a Raptor, an Ishkur, a Talos, a Prowler, a Buzzard, a Taranis, a Proteus, and my oldest ship, the first Cormorant I bought back around Christmas 2007.

If it has Large Rigs on it, then it's definitely a Collectors Item. DMC I think the Large Hybrid Locus Coordinators in the contract come from that one, so yes. It's that old, and even then, it had been through a couple of (mainly L2 mission-fit) iterations before it ended up like that.

Day 2: More opposition, more cat-and-mouse, more infighting, and definitely a few very silly moments.
The more all around facepalm one was when when everyone involved momentarily forgot that DSTs have inherent warp stabilisation and you need more than a simple point to keep them in place. They also have a bit of a tank. So it took a while to get it down to half shield, at which point I noticed something in my overviewGǪ and warped off. The Brownstone Brick lives to see another day.
A less happy, but far more silly, outcome was the salvaging under fire that my Damnation's tank allowed forGǪ and being a Damnation, it allowed for a lot. Too bad the salvage didn't survive the explosion.
Another bit of silliness was the Scimitar (no KM up yet, apparently) that completely ruined some gate infighting by repping everyone around before being blown up, and the aforementioned second Bowhead that spat out a Nightmare in a brief stroke of good fortuneGǪ except that everyone had weapons timers and couldn't board it, other than meGǪ except (again) that I can't fly battleships, so no luck there either.
All the fun meant that only 19 flights took place, leaving 7 more for the last day, and with 10 more (plus the aforementioned Bustard) surviving the trip: An Obelisk that snuck by before Marmite got themselves sorted, a standard uncatchable Crane, a rather fast Svipul, a very uninteresting Myrmidon, a Purifier (that almost got caught), a Huginn that did get caught, but managed to scare off the tiny ships (with a bit of a help from a third party intruder), a Legion, a Crow, a Loki, and an overtanked Sleipnir that also got away from a fight in all the confusion that ensued..

DeMichael Crimson wrote:Hehe, gotta say this thread is definitely interesting to say the least. So on average how many players jumped on Tippia's Transport Targets this time, over 1/2 dozen ? And was everyone fleeted during this or was it every man for themselves type of situation ? I imagine collecting the Loot drops must have been a grab bag / free for all situation ( There Can Be Only One) right ? Anyway, gratz to Kirikarasu for getting the Leftover Lottery, that's definitely a major farewell contract. It was essentially Marmite, Ralph + alt(s), and some random Kubinen inhabitants that may or may not have been in cahoots in some way that I'm not sure of. Also, there was the single attempted alpha gank on the Irjunen undock, who unfortunately was faced with a brick-tanked BustardGǪ it didn't make much of a dent, but it was funny.
In total, I'd say that I had at least a dozen different characters gunning for me at various times GÇö a definite improvement over yesterday.
As for the loot, it was probably a bit of first come first serve, but whenever possible I tried to have some kind of suspect or limited engagement timer going so stuff would be easier to grab for just about anyone. |

Day 3: A quick day, with only 7 ships to throw into the grinder. And it was a grinder, at first. However, three stil made it through: a rather sneaky Tengu to combat the increasing measures of ze evil campers , an oddly ignored Basilisk, and finally a majestic Caldari Shuttle to cap off the festivities. No-one brought any fireworks in spite of being asked (and there should be plenty floating around out there after previous days' wrecks).
In total over the last three days:
- 52 ships were flown.
- 23 Arrived (more or less) safely at their destination.
- The killboards report ~33bn worth of losses, but don't include a number of deaths and also fail to calculate the value of a number of items, especially researched blueprints.
- 3.1bn worth of bounties were paid out.
- Just over 4bn worth of insurance was paid out.
Last day lottery!
Not as spectacular as previous ones, but still, the rest has to go!

BONUS ROUND
Something I didn't think of at first, but now have to fixGǪ As previously mentioned, all those lost ships means a sizeable chunk of insurance has been paid out, even at the base level. That has to go too. So again, the internet has selected, #32: Glathull, who gets whatever is left in my wallet at the end of the day.
That's it. All gone. Thanks for the entertainment and I hope you all remember to kill (or lose) it forward. Maybe I'll see you people around some day, somewhere. :) |
