The Hunt For Rixx Javix is today at 22:00 Eve time until 23:00 Eve time, maybe even a tad longer - who knows. I thought I'd start this post and update it as the day goes along. I also plan a pretty thorough telling of anything that happens during the Hunt.
15:00 Hours
Having already bought and fit the RED OCTOBER I decided to fly from Rens down into Molden Heath so I'd be ready to go at 22:00. That was easy enough and I've docked in a station somewhere in a low-sec system in that region. So I'm all set up and ready to undock.
What do I expect? Not much really, to be honest I don't think much will happen, I don't give myself that much credit. So I will be the hunter at first and try to get into some fights. Maybe someone will come along in response to this post and maybe I'll be exploded by a total stranger... who knows? But that's why I'm doing it. For the same reason I do everything, for some fun. So let's see what happens.
22:26 Hours
Congratulations to CaptainHeroUK and Talinthi both of The Gentlemen of Low Moral Fibre for killing me proper. They were waiting for me in Bosena where I had docked up, but they weren't on station. I warped to a planet and then a belt, and then to planet 7 and Captain showed up in his Cane at about 30k. I waited to see if he would aggress and he did, so I pointed the Red October in his direction and started my attack run.
I am the first to admit that I am rusty at this point, I haven't played much lately and the rust is showing. I thought I could close the distance to his Cane so I waited and didn't switch out my ammo. By the time I realized I wasn't going to close fast enough his buddy showed up in his Cyclone. I switched my drones and attention to the Cyclone, but my earlier mistake cost me the fight.
My Corp m8 Eradicator44 showed up in his Cane to help (Which I didn't know about before!) and he also died after I had podded out. I distributed the 300m based on the percentage of damage they each did and we all "gf"ed each other in local. It was a good clean fight and exactly what I was hoping for. Although I was also hoping to do a bit better, I was also fully prepared to die. The point wasn't winning or losing, but just to have a shot at a good fight.
So thanks to CaptainHero and Talinthi. Good fight.
I am re-fitting another ship and headed back out. Why not?
"hiya rixx, just wanted to thank you for making this a fun evening. I read your blog and when i heard about the opportunity to come along and have a go at shooting you I couldnt resist. Also thanks for the isk injection it will help a lot. Thanks again bud, good fight and keep up the blog."
Cheers - CaptainHeroUK

So Angor calls me up and says come on over to Verge and get into a fight. It's 22j away and I know I'll be flying into a trap, so I go anyway. You might find this line of thinking odd, but I figure I owe him. I've killed him three times and he's never gotten the chance to return the favor. Once I killed him because he asked me to, once I killed him because he was red and made the mistake of coming around, and once I killed him by accident during one of our "test" fights - so he was due. Plus I was bored.
So I flew all the way across the universe to get killed. The problem is this, the stupid Eve Gate thingie means Angor was still set Blue to me. So when I switched my overview settings over to PvP he didn't show up. So I land on the planet surrounded by Tuskers, a Dramiel and a Drake - plus Angor's invisible Cane. I'm doomed of course, but I go for the Dramiel in the hopes of at least killing the tackle. When I should have gone for Angor's Cane, I probably would've killed him again. Needless to say I died and then the expected happend, they grabbed my pod and demanded ransom.

The sucky part is the this however, I got podded a couple of jumps out of Rens by the smartbombing a-hat on a gate. So boom back to Impass minus my implants. Which is no big deal since I always have spares in the hanger. Still all in all it was an extremely expensive day for RJ. But it wasn't boring and I did manage to get two good fights out of it.
Now back to the grind. While I was away someone put our station into RF.
