Wandering afk being in a mission with a not perma-running Nightmare and faction booster. There was a very bad disruption in the force that day.

Edited by: Lord Shirak on 27/01/2009 00:47:34 I played high sec lvl4 mission with 2 characters. Hand of zazmatazz, if I remember. Same fleet, not the same corps. While the BS popped the enemies, the destroyer collected the loot. The mission ended without problems, and my alt had collected all the loot and salvage. I checked the destie's cargo and found some narcotics. I didn't want to keep them. What could I do with them in the heart of Amarr Empire? They are nothing, but standing-loss. So I jettisoned them from the Coercer, and (die evil jetcan, die! ) popped with the BS. Now what is that red "Agression..." text in the upper left corner? Where is my ship? Why i'm sitting in POD? Concord? What Concord? Oh no! This is high sec! So I lost a full T2 fitted and rigged Armageddon, but at least I "killed" 10 blue pills and 10 death sticks. Surely it was worth...
The second one was the same situation with the same characters. I learned this: Never, never jump to 0 with your alt onto yourself, when you forget to switch off the ECM Burst. The destie arrived to loot, suddenly I saw familiar red letters in the upper left corner... So a full T2 fitted rigged Apoc went to the Concord.

My best Darwin award was...
I undocked from a station in low sec, thier was an abaddon waiting for me, I target to engadge and launch drones
I get that very anoying and understood "failed to target" so I need to retarget,..then I get it again on the 3rd targeting attempt i'm about 60% armor i disengadge to redock but I managed to target finaly...and the drones!!! could not redock and barly scratched the abaddon.
Any one else ever got that failed to target, i get it every now and then, quite rare, What is it!?

my darwin awards from back when i was more of a noob than i am today(still a noob)
after only 3 months, bought my first raven, saw cheap HEAVY MISSILE ammo(couldnt fit cruise yet), ammo was 1 jump into low-sec, took my raven with NO fit at all, and no insurance...gate camp and died in under 30 seconds , I had that raven for less than 5 total minutes. To make the story even better, it had been sitting in my hanger for 6 days because i didn't have skill to fly it yet
my 2nd raven, was running lvl 2 missions in 0.1 space..was fitted with standard missiles and light drones, on my third mission lost it to a gate camp |

I was pretty much a NOOB when this happened, but maybe someone will see this and not be another Darwin winner. I'm in hi sec in an Osprey using drones to pop NPC rats and salvaging them. I decide to salvage some wrecks not my own and accidentally sic my drones on them. Yellow wrecks and drones don't mix. At least Concord doesn't pod you. |

Just a few days ago we were mining in a high sec system and this guy in a Raven jumps in. He open fire and hits my shield fitted Hulk with a full volley, I'm down to 20% shields. Then he switch target and sent a volley on another hulk before concorded. Ok, probably his first go at PvP, everyone can make mistakes. But.... 40 minutes later he comes back in another Raven and does exactly the same. So he is out two Ravens in 40 minutes and nothig to show for it. If he hadn't switched target after one volley he could probably have taken out my hulk, but twice he did it. He must have seen 6 missiles wasn't enough the first time, but he still changed target after one volley when he came back...
The drunk guy popping his own alt was hillarious.

I've lost a muninn once cause I warped to what I thought was a safe moon, turn out a hostile PoS was there ....
I selected warp and switched to my falcon scout alt, tabbed back 2 minutes later finding myself in my pod...
Also, and this didn't result in losses, when FC'ng once I was a bit drunk and sooooooo tired i said to the fleet, "ye guys, lets dock for a sec,go to the toilet or whatever, back here in 10 minutes".
3 hours later I wake up in station (since I had docked) with my entire fleet gone back home without me...
No losses but oh the shame :D |

Oh lordy...when I was but a wee nublet, I was taking my newly fitted, very expensive (for a noob!) Kestrel through some systems...and one of them was Rancer. I knew nothing about Rancer at the time.
I warped in, saw the blob, freaked out, and high-tailed it to the next gate...where a Megathron promptly let loose with a full rack of large smart bombs. I didn't even know what happened, I just heard this incredibly loud "BANG!", and my ship disappeared in a blue flash, followed by my pod.
I don't go to Rancer any more... |

I was new and doing the role of salvager for my corp mates doing L4 missions. I came into the mission after all hostiles were destroyed and started salvaging near a structure that had to be destroyed for the mission to be completed.
I was about 8k away from the structure when it was destroyed and blew up with a big bang that took out my ship.
I now have an entry in the kill log that I was killed by the "Rent-A-Dream Pleasure Gardens".

I am a week old so I am a utter noob.
First death was autopiloting through a lowsec jump.
Joined pvp corp.
2nd death I jumped without reading the intel's channel. There was that 10 sec pause when you see that 17 ships + drones while you are in a warp bubble with no way to leave.
3rd death was having multiples windows up and not checking local.
4th death we were in a gang and we were taking this ship and fleet leader said warp as soon as he dies. As he was dying his buddies came up and I autotargeted something, instead of warping to the next stargate I warped straight to the enemy gang.
I am loving every minute of 0.0

Edited by: Zylithi on 12/02/2009 08:10:25 Here's a couple...
a) When i was a nubbin I spent 3 weeks in the starter system building up my character until i thought I was "pvp-ready." The reason? I had run the assumption that anything below 1.0 was like the ghetto, where concord only shows up (sec.stat x 100)% of the time.
b) A member of my corp was drunk (note the corp name) and accidentally built 15 million heavy scourge missiles. He didn't notice until like a week later, when he went to build something else.
c) Flying a freighter through lowsec genesis with only a caldari shuttle as scout. Hmm...
d) Flying an "Honor tanked" rokh with 6 mining lasers and 2 shield transporters in case somebody came to the belt looking for some yarr.
e) Two months old, I joined a corp that was a member of FLA. I foolishly decided to fly my raven through EC-P8R. I quit for a month after that, lol.

Ages ago when a Navy Megathron was still around a billion ISK - long before the LP store - I finally got my first offer for a Navy Megathron, something I had been waiting for since I started running missions. Since my agent was in low sec I didn't fly it out of the station very often because I hadn't decided yet if I want to sell or keep it, but then I get a storyline mission two systems over. I found it nice and fitting to take the Navy Mega to run such an important mission and fitted it for max tank and mediocre gank - I did not know the mission and there was no report yet since it was shortly after a patch. It started out nice and easy against EoM who do Kin and Therm damage, damage I could easily tank especially since I recently bought a nice X-Type hardener (300M give or take). The third or forth stage however has mercenaries that do a lot of explosive damage and my tank slowly died. So I aligned my 1.5 billion ship to a station and kept pounding the NPCs planning to do a few warp-outs, removing as many NPCs before I have to run. When my armor was almost completely red I recalled drones and started warping. The ship did not warp but instead slooooowly turned away from my escape spot and I sat there open-mouthed. By the time I had figured out that there are TWO stations with a similar name in the system and I had aligned to one, but tried warping to the other there wasn't enough time to re-align before structure went down too.
Of course the X-Type did not survive the blast either.

#1
1. Forgot I was not in low sec.
2. Got excited when I saw a hulk on scan at a belt.
3. Flew in, uncloaked, scrammed and was surprised when I blew up. It took a minute to realize that concord got me, and I was in high sec. I lost a nice rapier that way...
#2
1. Engaged in a fight in low sec in my rapier, and got dangerously low into structure.
2. Luckily, my fleet showed up and neuted the frig that was tackling me, so I got away with 10% structure left. I warped off to a safe, and heard that some more ships were coming back.
3. Eager to quickly rejoin the fight, and thinking 2 minutes had passed, I warped to the station to dock and rep up. Unfortunately, warp to 0 doesn't actually warp you at 0, but drops you off 2.5km away some times (logic, CCP?)
4. Station guns nabbed me and I lost yet another shiny rapier..

Edited by: Batelle on 13/02/2009 02:13:25 Edited by: Batelle on 13/02/2009 02:08:54 Two related stories of ME dying, and one AWESOME story of some other idiot.
A year and a few months ago, I reactivated my account and joined a new corp in pureblind. I had never really done much pvp before, so I was pretty excited taking my ishkur out with a AF/inty/HAC gang roaming pureblind and 0.0. We were holding on the EC gate, waiting for some friendlies to come in from hisec. A deimos jumps in, gets instantly pointed by our inties and we lay into him. I decide to do my part by mwding right up to the deimos to get my web and blasters on him. Deimos kills me in seconds, before the rest of the gang takes him down. Lesson learned, when in a smaller ship, stay the **** away from a deimos. km here http://homeless.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=2530 br
Two days later, I have a NEW ishkur fitted. I undock from our station and see a neutral kestrel. I ask my CEO if I should kill it. He replies, "NBSI mother****er." so I take out the kestrel. I post the mail, and am sitting still in front of the station, glowing from my first pvp kill. Seconds later, I've got hammerheads on me and I'm dying FAST. minus 1 ishkur. I dock my pod and check my mail. I'd been killed by a Moros, from a corporation that was blue to us. I'd popped his npc corporation cyno-alt. My CEO finds out I was killed by a blue, in 15 minutes we'd popped one of their falcons and talked to their CEO. I got an apology from the Moros pilot and 30m isk reimbursement. He'd been under the incorrect assumption that the locals were all NRDS, and hadn't announced his cyno alt in local. I don't think any of the other corps I'd been in would have stood up for me like that, considering I was new to the corp and new to pvp.
My km http://homeless.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=2571 Ishkur was pve fit because I was running lvl 2's with mordus to get standing.
About two months later, we had one of our roving gangs running by our old home, and just before jumping the gate, we see a gatefire, +1 neutral. An imicus decloaks after a few seconds and gets killed and podded.
Here is the KM http://homeless.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=3552 My chatlog with the guy is in comment, check the isk lost.
The entire hold is full of blueprints, god knows how much they'd been researched, including six battleship blueprints. According to the convo with the guy they were ALL bpos.
And here's the kicker.
One of the... slower... pilots in the gang locks and destroys the wreck by accident.
Moral of the story... don't move BILLIONS OF ISK IN BLUEPRINTS through 0.0 in a cargo expanded t1 frigate with NO SCOUT WHATSOEVER. ESPECIALLY if that region is pureblind, and not a giant bluefest.
EC-P8R... You will never find a more wretched hive of s****and villainy. |

Back in late 05, when i was a few weeks old, i took my shiny new Caracel into a 0.3 for giggles and a bit of ratting. I warp into the first belt and start locking up the rats thinking "wow! Look at those bounties. This is great."
So im in the belt for a few seconds and im laying into one of the rat cruisers when my shields evaporate. What the hell?! 6-7 seconds later there goes half my armor. By now im in panic mode and spam clicking my warp button. So i land 15km off the only station in system and im trying to think what could have happened. What had hit me?
I get a convo at about the same time telling me that if i came back, i was going to die. What?
It turns out that the belt i had warped into was occupied by an Apoc happily mining away. When i warped in and targeted the rats, i had targeted him as well without noticing he was even there. He of course returned my lock, though he at first held his fire. When he saw my missiles loosed towards the rats he assumed i was engaging him and he lit me up. I explained what had happened and we both had a few laughs.
During the course of the convo i had warped from the station to the second belt in the system intending to continue my ratting.
Im in this belt for no more than 30 seconds when a guy shows up in a Claw and promptly engages me. Unfortunately for him my Cara was fit with assault launchers. The light misssile spam put him into structure in a few seconds and he warped off - smacking local the whole way. Even more unfortunate for him, he warped to the station in his haste to escape. The sentry guns popped him near instantly.
I had recieved my first killmail

I was told that man was a macro ratter, i warp to belt start my thing, then i see him warp in, oh goody i thought free kills, then he suddenly starts agressing me got a point on me and bashed on me, prolly with EM missiles because my resistances to that was 12.7 % got out with 49 % armor thanks to a mate who jumped in when i was gonna die ^_^

Was just a week or so ago, fleet warped in to a friendly pos being sieged by I think around 30 Dreads. Was pretty safe just skirting shields popping dictors. Ended up at 0 speed on the bubble edge and an observant Moros pilot decided to alpha my Zealot. I thought I'd desynced, everything just went red and modules died, only worked out what happened once I saw the killmail :P
Note to self: Next time *orbit* the POS. :( ________

Led a gang of 2 cyclones, a drake and a few cruisers into lowsec, might i add i had drunk a bottle of strongbow, aggressed a neutral brutix on the gate, got him to 10% structure but failed to bump him off, he jumped. A pilgrim and an abaddon warped in, so i ordered the gang to jump through the gate, of course forgetting we all had GCC and it was highsec :S, where the caldari navy wiped our whole fleet in about 5 secs, to make matters worse the brutix took all our loot.

this is a darwinistic noob fest compared to the exploits of one pilot im familiar with. to help protect the innocent ill refrain from naming names but this individual -
- while drunk undocked a multi-billion faction ship into a station camp then was banned by the GMs after a local channel tirade laced with enough colorful expletives to make a sailor cringe.
- left a MS parked on top of an outpost and passed out drunk. after a red fleet caught wind of the situation and came to spank upon it a blue fleet repelled the attack and guarded it till down time.
- left a MS un-babysat in a CSMA which then disappeared
there are other stories but these few are enough to clearly win the award. |
