A Funny Thing Happened While Mining

Beirut and Masaaq cold-cocked a Retriever in the nearby high-sec system of Usi the other day. Yes, they are very bad boys. Here is the killmail. They also managed to grab his pod.

Normal enough stuff. Mining in systems right next to a known Pirate HQ is dangerous work. One would think people would be aligned, checking d-scan, the usual things. But some people get mad.

bad move

You guys screwed up. See this is my ALT who does my mining. Me, I'm a military director of a Corp that's about to become an Alliance Kill: LTC RINGO (Retriever) 

So replace the ISK all is forgiven, if not I will place bounties for my guys to kill you every time the see you. 

Your choice

Especially when you are the "Military Director" of a Corp that is just about to become an Alliance.  Oooh.

News flash, we actually WANT your guys to try to kill us every time they see us. Secondly, bounties are fun for us. They are a waste of ISK since they are usually spent in a few hours of normal play for us. Since we are all primarily negative, you can shoot us even without bounties. Please do.

Secondly, please war dec us. Why not? That is exactly what we want you to do. I have 300+ mouths to feed PvP with. That is a lot of mouths to feed. More is better. In fact, bring the whole Alliance along with you. We live in Ishomilken and it is a very nice place. Lots of belts to mine.

Seriously. Think before you send angry emails of revenge. This has become quite the thread on our forums and eve mails.

And now on this blog for all to see.

The only problem is people rarely do what they say or else it be far more fun. I really think they should come and hunt us down as we deserve.

Isn't Lucifer's Hammer a high-sec industrial corp? That's probably why a war dec seems like such a good idea. Especially with all your PvPers with negative standings. They don't ever need to leave high sec to hit your alliance, which means no PvP for Stay Frosty pilots unless you have PvP alts with good security standings.

I think the guys in hammer can handle it. Tbh I doubt anything comes of it tho. Just the empty threats of an angry miner

Well it wouldn't be our first War Dec and Lucifer's has proven to be hard to find and kill before, so not overly worried. Plus we have our fair share of pilots who can bump up to go hunt in high if need be.

First tings first: LMFAO

Now, you guys should send a message to them stating you are "concerned" that might disrupt your alliance activities and affect participation. Then ask nicely for the not to wardec you but you still would not reimburse them as you are poor pirates. It should work out nicely for them to actually set a wardec.

Minerbumping educational services tells me this guy is not to be underestimated. He probably has lots of friends in nullsec that will take the demise of their high sec mining director very seriously.
Perhaps we should run some locator agents and do some preventive ganking so he can't mine enough ore to pay for wardecs?

We did come, you guys stayed docked!! Guess ganking miners is all you can do!!

We'll be in ISH around 1400 EVE TIME. Why don't you guys undock this time and PVP us versus ganking miners in HIGH SEC!! Or refund my ISK. Just do one or the other..... Or maybe just blogging about EVE is your thing.

more tears to follow

You seem to be ignorant of a few facts that may help:

1) We never refund anything.

2) We rarely gank miners in HS unless we are bored. Most of us are negative sec status for a reason.

3) We only fight on our terms, not on anyone else's terms.

4) We are a solo and small gang Alliance, so we rarely engage blobs or linked fleets. If you want to fight that way, more power to you, Null sec is a few jumps in that direction.

5) I'm on everyday and when I am on I am in space 99% of the time.

Actually, its you that are ignorant of a few facts and let me help you:

1) I don't want the ISK back, I want your wrecks and corpses (we have a many already)
2) You guys only GANK! I've seen your KB
3) see #2, you only GANK, that's not PVP
4) We aren't small, so next time you post a blog think first
5) You may be on but you're not in space. We've come by every day twice a day and you guys are docked.

1) "Or refund my ISK"
2) 87% of our kills are SOLO. Don't do drugs!
3) 87% of our kills are SOLO. I told you about doing drugs already!!
4) We don't care.
5) If we are docked it means we are AFK. Otherwise we are in space, usually spread out all over New Eden. We don't tend to lump up in safe groups. We also don't play to your convenience, only ours. Stop crying about it.
