Where was I...
Right, ridiculous amounts of utter silliness.
Contrary to what I was expecting, over night we went from "WH Alliance hitting a WH corp" to "Something unexpected in an entertaining way". Whilst I had slept, getting ready for a day full of shooting things with my moros, SojournerRover had gone and posted this thread on the EVE Online forums.
Huh, I knew he liked to whine everywhere he could, but I hadn't been expecting that.
Turns out he's mad about the fact that he's being evicted/burnt/killed. I totally understand that; I would be too. Not sure why he'd bother to post and rage on the forum but hey, if he wants to engage us on the forums instead of on Tranquility, that's his deal. Me, I'm gonna take my moros over to a few of his towers and engage it.
Target one is a tasty looking True Sansha Medium tower. Oh yes, we're hitting that first. Mmmmm. We take our happy little gang of murder to the tower and unsurprisingly, a whole group of Insidious Design is waiting in the tower for us, ready to pos gun us down.
What? I never said they were actually gonna shoot at us.
So we land, siege up and smack the crap out of that tower. The whole time they're pos gunning me, but I barely have to run my repper to keep up with the damage and
OHSHITOHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT THEY'RE BOMBING US.
Oh wait, that was one guy bombing us. I think it scratched my paint? Maybe? Didn't really notice it. So we get the tower down to 24% annnnnnd...
8 hour reinforce timer? Seriously? That's like when they invaded us! So stupid. So so stupid.
We continue our way around the system, hitting towers and pocos as we go, when the guys on hole control get a little antsy. It makes sense, they're bored, no worries. A few scouts are sent out to see what they can see, and lo and behold, they find a 10 man tech 3 gang running sites two holes down. Awesome.
We get some volunteers together while the dreads go refit and get ready to hit another tower. Things are looking great and they roll out of the stage 2 hole to go kill some people. About 50 people total jumped out I think? Good numbers. Now, as any group of competent wormholers can tell you, what happened next was to be expected, because it was a stage 2 hole. As we crammed the fleet throught the hole, it went stage 3 and then snapped shut.
Shit.
This left about 7-8 people actually in the hole to do hole control. If I'm not mistaken, and I might be because I was sitting in a pos when this went down, Insidious Design had some 15-20 people online in the hole at that time. It could have gone really bad, really fast. Anyone looking at d-scan would have noticed the complete lack of ships. But no, all that happened was Rover complaining on the forums that life is so unfair, and blah blah blah, blah blah blah, save my ass, blah blah blah.
It took about 2 hours, but we got the fleet back in. And then went right back to hitting some towers. Ah, good times. The tower hitting continued over night into somewhere around early saturday morning. Or late friday night. I don't remember, there was some other matters on my mind.
Like the self destruct party.
Oh man, that self destruct party. I've never had a bigger laugh in my entire EVE career. It really took the cake for "Stupidest Thing Ever". Hold on, let me get you some pictures.
Anyway, that wraps things up for this post. It's longer than the usual ones, and a little rambley, but you stuck with it. Good work! The final installment of this EPIC SAGA (hahahahahahahahhahaha oh man that still cracks me up) will go up later. Promise!
Blue Probes going out.
