Uh oh, looks like someone caught the pvp bug. Good choice joining Vendo, you'll have some fun there.

I hope so. I did the tutorial missions and found it interesting, but so solo.

There's a lot to learn, but I think like a lot of people, I was attracted to the game after reading about some of the big fights. I have no expectation that I can do that anytime soon, but would like to be part of it eventually.

So I guess I should get into pvp as soon as possible. Scip explained that I can learn a lot about pvp even while I'm continuously losing ships, so no need to wait.

Small gang pvp is probably the best way to learn pvp. You'll lose a lot of ships but you'll also get kills if you're supported by some friends. Getting the basics down and learning more about the ship types and mechanics will give you a good foundation for any large fleet fights too.

It's possible many of you didn't notice, but the world ended earlier this evening.

As I was heading out to go to an Octoberfest celebration at a pub near the house, my daughter who'd just got home from work, and is 4 1/2 months pregnant with her 3rd child, asked me if I'd go by the drive-thru and get her a burger, along with some chicken fingers for the boys. I did, and my son ran them back into the house as I waited in the car so we could go on to the pub. Halfway to the pub I got an angry phone call from my daughter:

"Didn't you check the burger?"
"No, why should I? What's the problem?"
"It's got everything on it, I can't eat it!!!!!1!!1one"

Bear in mind she HAS to have her burgers with light mustard, mayo and lots and lots of lettuce.

So at around 23:00 EVE time on 18 October, the world came to an end.

I've never had an issue with food items from that particular burger joint, so I've never had reason in the past to indicate that I needed to confirm the special order burger was done correctly.

I got a supplemental text message from her later saying:

"Well so much for satisfying a craving. Mustard mayo and lettuce. Iv'e been ordering my burgers like that for the better part of my life"

My reply: "... what do you want from me?"

Her bedroom light was on when I drove up to the house but by the time I got inside it was out...

In future she can go get her own damn burger. Not like she paid for THAT one, it was free to her, I'm the one should be mad that she won't eat the burger I bought her...
