People actually do this when they lose their ship/get podded? I have been podded and lost my ship several times - the only thing i do is just saying "****" or "meh". Off course it kind of sucks having to buy things over again, but still. I mean, they look so stupid doing this. its just a game after all. Learn from what happened, and deal with it for crying out loud. - Don't go around raging like a kid on xbox live...Makes you look stupid. Give everyone else a good laugh though

Decided to have a go at Recording the fights rather than just commenting on them. Not all have been recorded since I forget to press zee button.

[ 2012.04.26 22:06:54 ] amaleon > what is getting angry going to do

I'd add in an information panel off to a corner or else just some small text in the lower middle portion of the screen that provides some small commentary. "Caught this war target with some buddies" or "Convinced this guy to shoot me and he ran and got his drake" or whatever. Anything that puts the fight into some context enriches the viewing experience imo. If PiP is a bit above the editing software you have at the moment then I'd put it in the little intro shot you have and place that before every fight for 5 seconds or so.

Also I'd add in either an ISK destroyed listing "Navy Caracal: 487 million with fittings" or else a screenshot of the killmail at the end (pulled from battleclinic, evekill, etc) with it viewable, at least for any high ISK kills.

Basically have your video tell a very short story that stands by itself, especially if you plan to have a channel where people may see the video without reading the background in the thread. Also don't trust people to read your youtube descriptions either for commentary which is why I didn't suggest you just add it there.

Just my 2 cents.

Then in fleet chat:
NoxiousPluK > open fire :) i got 100m ^^



Some general ****/chat followed, and i invited him into our public channel.
He still should be there :) seems an okay dude after all.

Ransom unhonored: thumbs down from me mate

A story from the carebear point of view.

No shot was fired but there were some tears to be had. All from some wannabe ganker/pirate.

Yesterday when I came home from cinema my girlfriend was mining together with a pal we brought to eve some days ago.
She asked me to join them. Because I really wanted to read some message boards I only startet one acc up, jumpt into the orca, made sure it was well tanked and joined them as booster and giant cargo container.
I guessed it would take some time for a osprey and a hulk to fill it up.

Halfway through my cargo a lone cat appeared and forced my attention off the stuff I was reading.
Just to let him now we are not AFK I adressed him in local. Some fun chat ensued.

Vala: Don't hurt your ship with all that bumping him
Him: Vala Kyrija ur gonna get it nao
Him: Vala Kyrija happy halloween mothertrucker!
Him: er i meant hulkagedon
Random Guy: haha
Random Guy II: Hulkageddon started already?
Random Guy: yep
Random Guy II: :)
Vala: 'geddon is all year
Vala: But one lone cat doesn't pose a thread to a orca
Him: Vala Kyrija bet ur peeing ur pants nao
Him: my spooky catalyst is gonna orbit the shiznit out of you
Random Guy II: :D
Vala: I'm shaking with fear, really. I'm already trying to warp off but I'm shaking too much to fly.
Him: lol
Random Guy III: Guess I am out of the loop, whats going on guys
Him: Random Guy III better start running before i come after you
Vala: Some kid is trying to scare with his little dingdong. Exposing it and stuff.
Him: how does it feel to have you noob tears feasted upon!
Vala Kyrija: What tears? Must be some of your pee that got in my face. How ugly.
Him: i'm starting to get the feeling like you're not taking me seriously
Vala: Wow, for real?
Corp Mate: kind of a insulting contest?^^
Vala: X up if you take Mathieu serious
Him: how do I x up?
Vala: Just write x in chat kid
Him: x
Him: well that's one
Him: alright jokes aside, i'm looking for a mining corp. Would you happen to be recruiting?
Vala: No we only recruit ppl we take serious
Him: :/
Him: guess i'l go feast on my own pee
Him: i mean tears
Vala: Do so. I heared drinking your own urine is healthy. *urgs*

So this was the end. I had his tears and he had only his pee to feast on.
Poor kid.

A Curious Story

Derp

Now with 100% more allowed Chat logs!

This thread is the only place where players can post chatlogs (with the names of victims/counterparts blanked out) as part of a pirate story or experience.

I look forward to many good Yarrs!

So I get my Rifter kitted out. Duct taped like 80 goddamn autocannons to my baby. Pod's packet so tight against the bullets I can smell the lead. I spend a good bit hunting about in my favorite low sec areas.

I don't probe, don't really d-scan, just sort of jump from belt to belt, hoping I land on something, and I luck out- a fat Gallente cruiser chilling in some rocks, mining lasers working away. Adrenaline pounding, I mash the afterburner, 'cause I know this is it. Soon as I hit range, I open up, and I swear I slow down from the force of all those guns blazing.

I don't even make orbit. I'm in my pod in a flash, and I warp out as fast as my white-hot pod'll move me, wondering just what the **** happened.

I get a similarly curious "WTF?" in local.

Turns out it was a command ship.

True story.

verbal diarrhea

You might want to check where you posted that :)
IMO ransoming is just another scam in the EVE universe, i've had the same happen to me in my early EVE days.

**** you. Some of us make a living from PvP. Every weekend warrior like you that doesn't honor a ransom makes it that much harder to get one next time. I'd a lot rather have the cost of the dude's ship in ransom than a couple of modules. You want to PvP? Fine, but don't screw with the income of other people's professions. GTFO of the pirate story thread since you clearly have no interest in piracy.

Honour / Honor ?

Guess your posting this wrong, you should be at the hello kitty island forums...
