Into The Light: EVE Data Streams

In an effort to tidy my blog page, Down By Law, I decided to create a link to those data streams that belong to my fellow pod-pilots: Two distinct links to be exact!

In "Into the Light: EVE Data-Streams" a reader will find blogs generated by pod-pilots that operate (for the most part) above or within Concord's accepted legal perameters.

If you are a pilot that I have featured, and want to be included in a specific blog link, please drop me a line or leave a request in the form of a comment. Likewise, if you are pod-pilot that would like their blog included in one of these links, just say the word, provide a link and I will add your blog!

"The Dark Side: Miscreant Bloggers" will contain those ramblings generated by the dastardly do'ers that inhabit New Eden and are kind (or mad) enough to document their mis-deeds! Of course those data-streams generated by pod-pilots that operate (for the most part) above or within Concord's accepted legal perameters will be found in "New Eden: Data-Streams".

Re: Honor

"Is there honor in EVE? Is there honor in piracy? This question is brought up quite often around New Eden. Personally, I've been dumbfounded at the discourse on the subject; here is my attempt to set things straight." -Ka Jolo "Honor (OOC) Blog post."

In an attempt to respond to Ka Jolo's question, I will start by reciting the Merriam-Webster's definition of "honor":

1hon·or
Pronunciation:
\ˈä-nər\
Function: noun
8 a: a keen sense of ethical conduct : integrity b: one's word given as a guarantee of performance

I question the validity of this video: Jamyl is a high-talker with a discernable lisp. No matter, I'd flip her can...

"(Warning!) You are about to steal items from LORDREDDOG. If you continue, LORDREDDOG and LORDREDDOG's corporation will be free to attack you! Are you sure you want to continue?"


"Do I want to steal?" I posed the question, aloud, to no one in particular. In order for a theft to occur, there must be intent to deprive. I did not intend to deprive LORDREDDOG of his property- I intended to clean the mess for which he was responsible!

EVE Personality Test

I happened across an interesting algorithm that asked a set of predetermined questions and attempted to generate a psychological profile based on a test recipient's answers.
"What the devil," I said,"You only live once!"
I answered the silly questions posed to me in an honest fashion and was informed that I am a:



Griefer

"Eve is just a game. People tend to get really worked up about it, and this is highly amusing. The best moments of Eve is when someone throws a hissy fit after you pwned them when they didn't expect it. You often use the "it's a PvP game-line", but what you really mean by that is that the game is supposed to be exploited and won. No trick is beneath you as long as it lets you get a laugh at the expense of someone else. Everything is valid until CCP says it's not."

I wish I could say that this result was misguided, false, incorrect, or just plain wrong...but, I can't. The result of this test was "spot on". I will meditate about this as I continue to enjoy my well-deserved vacation. I required a little R and R after my extended employment with the Brutor Tribe.

In the mean time, dear reader, may your missiles fly true, your auto cannons never jam and your rail guns never falter. As for your lasers...well, may your lasers never- not laser!

Sniper SamX

I stumbled across the most entertaining story! A story about Sniper SamX and what happens when a no-good do gooder goes soft and gets a little too comfortable. It pays to be paranoid in this line of work and to always remember: "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

I am pleased and slightly humbled (humble really isn't in my vocabulary, but it sounds delightful!) to have my musings included as a link on Crazykinux' website and blog.

Jump, Jump!

Of late, fewer citizens felt inclined to "litter" in the areas of Heimatar that I patrol. Great news for the local authorities and the Minmatar peoples' as a whole, but not so-good news for one in my line of work. In an attempt to avoid stagnation, I contemplated moving my operation into a new sector of space in search of new vict- "ahem" ignorant clients in need of education. A few days earlier a transmission in the local channel had piqued my curiosity. Two pilots had discussed something called a "jump clone".

Citizen's Patrol

Pictured from left to right: Xiomara Tribufor (Saucy tart), Diggity Derr (Angry Carebear) , Maxxeon Headroom (Instigator and Concord target dummy) and Pegleg Punk (Civil servant and children's role model).

The following events occurred in the IVAR system located in Heimatar space:

Dirty Frarn

Bruce Destro: Noob Slayer

Bruce Destro >" i leave for a month and rens is full of nubs again, me and kal have work to do"
Xeromedes > "isn't that the point of rens? the nub nursery?"
Bruce Destro > "rofl"

Five minutes earlier, I had flipped Mr. Destro's can while he mined into a jet-can in an asteroid belt near Frarn VI. As a result of my actions, Destro promised retribution and harsh consequences. He returned to that asteroid belt in a Muninn, a tier 2 Minmatar Cruiser. Curious, and itching for a challenge, I warped to his position, taunting Destro with my Rifter, "Panty Dropper".

Show Me Your Cans

A jettisoned canister (jet-can)

When Good Samaritan asked if I was a hauler, I believe he was onto something. One of the most entry-level forms of pirating is to take the contents of another citizen's can (usually ore) in an attempt to force a combat situation. The idea is simple: Disrupt or irritate a miner to such a degree that in the heat of the moment, blinded by emotion, they commit to an act of aggression in a ship that is combat-inferior to your ship of choice. My ship of choice is the Rifter, a Tier-1 (T1) Minmatar frigate. Citizens often discount frigate class ships as weak or inferior due to their small size and the minimal training that frigates require. A combat pilot can take a frigate and turn it into a lethal and capable weapon.

Torpor

There was a time when my life consisted of mining asteroids for ore. Armed with a single mining laser and a scanner, I would fill the bowels of my dilapidated Hoarder, "Betsy", with ore. While Betsy slowly chewed away on asteroids, I found time for my studies; simple and complex exercises to develop reflexes and higher brain functions. Once Betsy was filled to capacity, I would pilot my ship to the station in high-security (hi-sec) offering the best price for my ore. Today, that destination was a station nestled in the Rens system, in Heimatar space.
