You win some, you lose some.

Ok, so here's an update about the events from Sunday until yesterday.  Be warned, this is a bit of a long post.

One + Three = 470,000,000 ISK
On Sunday I started scanning in Eglenaert as that was where fellow ninja Ullus was.  I scanned some guys down some guys and finally ended up going to a Megathron.  It was nothing special and I don't remember much of the details.  All I know was that he shot me, I pointed him and then he stopped shooting me.  When in doubt, keep doing the mission, amiright? 

Anyway, I swapped smoothly over to the Legion and pew pew'd this guy into space poop, but not before getting a nice fat 120 million ISK donation to provide for a new worm from the day before. 

So Eg was drying up and Ullus and I made the executive decision to move over to neighboring Agrallalier.  Boy do I love this system.  My first scan, the very first, was of a Machariel, Rattlesnake and Apocalypse Navy Issue.  What?  I warp in.  Its a two room mission and I quickly to the jump gate. All three missioners were there but there mission was over.  Slightly sadface.

I steal anyway and look at the three there.  I test the "auto-lock" feature of all three.  The Machariel and the Rattlesnake were both relatively experienced players and had the feature off.  The Apoc didn't but he didn't do anything for a good bit.  Then the Rattlesnake and Machariel started to warp off.  I was rather sad at this point and was about to warp off when I hear "PEW PEW PEW" from the lazors of the Apocalypse Navy. 

Hurray!  Auto-Lock wins again :)

Point, orbit at 20km and start pewing his two T1 Valkyries he was using during a Serpentis mission.  Suddenly I understood why he shot me.  I decided Ullus would be a good asset in his Scimitar and called him in so he could hopefully whore in on this guy because he was seemingly an idiot.  The guy still had me red boxed so I couldn't Orca swap but I decided to warp it in anyway.  As the Orca entered warp, Ullus tells me that we have company.  The Rattlesnake (same corp as the apoc) has decided to come back. 

SCORE!  The Rattlesnake decides to shoot Ullus in his scimitar and the Apoc follows suit.  Ullus points the rattler with his scimi and tries to evade. This is my opportunity.  As Ullus starts to lose shield I swap to my legion and point the Apoc (the rattle was not yet red to me).  As I do so I convo the Apoc and demand 800 mil for both of them.  He shouts at me in German (i got the hint as he said no right away).  I close convo and procede to hammer on the Apoc.

He wasn't melting that quickly.  At this point, the Rattler realizes I'm now in a Legion and decides to shoot me.  Then Ullus swaps to his Hurricane and starts to shoot the rattler.  The Rattlesnake is not going down fast enough, nor is the Apoc.  Since both are pointed and not moving I tell Ullus to shoot the Apoc, we'll negotiate with the Rattlesnake.  Our combined DPS starts to crush the Apoc as the third Mission Runner shows up in a Daredevil.  I was a bit sad as I was hoping for the Machariel. 

Things get a little hairy at this point, though the MR's make a few big mistakes.  First of all, they don't focus fire.  While I AM taking damage from the Apocalypse and the Rattlesnake, the daredevil shoots Ullus first.  Then he points me and I start taking a bit more damage as he orbits me at 2km and hurts me with blasters. This is the opposite of what you want to do: spread aggro.

The second mistake by the MR's, or MR in this case has already been done. Let's take stock of things.  I have a Rattler at approx. 10km sitting still with 5 Hornet II's on me, I have an Apocalypse Navy about to pop right in front of me, and I have a Daredevil hitting me with everything he has at 2km orbiting at a speed of 1500 m/s.  Oh, and Ullus Demos is right on top of the Apocalypse Navy Issue next to me.  He also has aggro on all three, with the Rattler pointed.  I have the Apoc pointed.  See the guy who's next primary? 

The Apocalypse pops in a beautiful ball of fire.  I quickly switch point, web and neut to the daredevil.  Ullus puts HIS web and nuets on the Daredevil.  With no cap and no speed, the Daredevil cannot escape.  We quickly melt him into oblivion.  Then we talk to the Rattlesnake who must, by this time, realize he is doomed.  We managed to extract 500 million ISK in empty promises from the Rattlesnake before he goes boom as well.

All Told, 1.6 Billion ISK Destroyed with a payout of 350 million ISK each for Ullus and I.  Not bad, considering I had only been on for about an hour.

The Trade
The next story I have is from Monday and it is not so happy.  So I warped to a Dominix Navy Issue.  He didn't want to play with me until I stole his mission objective.  This made him mad.  Really quite mad in fact, as he sent his flight of Ogre II's after me. 

I was thinking something along the lines of "LOL! Ogre II's!  Come at me bro!" at this point.  But surprisingly, I couldn't kill them very quickly OR tank them very well.  I managed to put one into low armor before he recalled them and then deployed ECM Vespas.  I got a little nervous and started to kill them and they never managed to get a jam cycle on me.  I was trying desperately to get reps into my fleet at this point and failed to invite the Orca pilot of our new CEO Zav so that he could swap to his scimitar.  Derp. 

After killing his Vespa-EC500's (Item check?) the DNI decided to deploy more Ogre II's.  Oh damn.  I was at 2% shield when Zav was in warp and 40% structure when he arrived.  The Jaguar blew up in a ball of fire before I could get reps on me. 

Now I was pissed.  I had derped and I knew it.  I had seen the general direction the MR had gone and decided to give chase.  I swapped to my Legion and warped to the Dodixie Gate in Agra.  To my surprise (and surprisingly good fortune), he was there.  As I landed, I stared at him for maybe 5 seconds, waiting to see what he would do.  That was when he jumped.  I jumped too and caught him as he was halfway to warp.  He started to burn back to gate but I put the hurt on him.  When he was 10km away from the gate he launched Hammerhead II's and tried to put the hurt on me! This was his final mistake.  He was aggressed now and I decided to just kill him rather than ransom, it was too much of a pain in my ass and I did not want this guy to live.  He died to my glorious retribution in the form of my legion.  Revenge is sweet.

The Failure:
Ok, so the next day was a cross country meet and I couldn't play EVE.  However, the day afterwards (Wednesday) I did get to play.  I managed to track down a really n00by Megathron who decided to shoot me right off the bat.  It would have gone really smoothly except for the fact that when I launched my legion to board it, I left cargo in the bay and my BRAND NEW Jaguar was not able to be scooped.
F*%K!  Depserately click board ship and I finally manage to as it enters low shield (I had rat aggro on top of fail MR aggro).  Eject cargo, desperately click board Legion.  But I failed.  It was the session change timer (in addition to my own stupidity) that screwed me over.  Fortunately, I managed to swap to the Legion just as the Jaguar exploded, so I skipped a second session change.  I then proceeded to a rather lengthy exchange with the Megathron that landed me a net of 40 million ISK after the Jaguar's loss.

He brought some friends in right as he died but they all pussy'd out and left us alone.  That brings us up to date, I will ninja later and hopefully have more stories to tell!

Until later, here are the tears,
