Within my alliance... I'm known as something of a nut.
I fly expensive ships into large blobs and either live or die on the edge. I do a lot of dying but I've found a pretty foolproof way to make enough isk to allow me to not care that much and in my opinion the only reason to make isk is to lose it.
With that in mind, I've never really managed to make much isk doing PvP just because I'd almost always rather find a good fight than find one I'm guaranteed to win.
So that's what makes this latest run of kills so amazing for me.
I've got two ships that I'm able to fly with a great deal of success and while I'm probably jinxing myself by posting this, I must admit an even larger degree of fun.
WHorage certainly isn't for everyone as not all have the patience for the time investment associated with scanning down WormHoles and targets inside of them, but the rewards are definitely there.
Game Mechanics are such that I can usually find manageable fights and while many of them are like 'clubbing baby seals'... as I've grown more comfortable with my ships capabilities I've pushed the limits of the targets I've engaged.
I often find myself taking my two ships against 2-3 battleships with jamming recons on the field and coming out ahead.
Part of that is carebear instincts working in my favor. If your first instinct is to run in terror I have no qualms about chaining you down and shooting you in the back.
Part of that is just a good understanding of the Paper, Rock, Scissors that is EVE ship combat and knowing how to turn things to my favor.
In any case, these two ships have accounted for the following kills in WormHoles alone in the last 30 days:
3 Golems
1 Megathron Navy Issue
1 Loki
2 Falcons
1 Nighthawk
11 BS's
1 Sacrilege
4 BCs
1 Moa
4 Mining Barge (including several hulks)
2 Industrial
1 Cov-ops
2 pods
All of the above with zero losses.
I've looted over 2 billion isk
As I said.. I'm sure I just jinxed myself terribly... but I've really enjoyed this WHorage stuff so far and am looking forward to much more to come!

Alliance Tourney
So... GenePool was needed by the parent alliance to participate in the Alliance Tourney...
This is my first experience with this illustrious event and I was excited! Unafilliated had done well in the previous tournament (which I didn't get to fly in due to real life commitments) and so were guaranteed an entry in this years tournament.
After helping out with the fleet composition plan and then buying a ton of implants for the team we were all set in our station waiting for the GMs to join us and move us to Jove space.
After what seemed like forever, it was time.
We were jumped to Jove space, told to pick a team beacon to warp to, and then warp to the arena at our desired range.
We did and found ourselves facing the two tengus, loki, 2 drakes and some other odds and ends of The Honda Accord.
CCP Claw counted down in local and I began trying to lock the bad guys right after he said go.
"Damn this is taking forever to lock...."
"WTH.. seriously? Crashed right after he said go?"
Spazzing a bit at this point I checked my router to confirm everything was ok and then started trying to spam log in again.
I was able to get in right as their loki pilot ended up in his pod.
Turns out the team didn't really need my DPS... but I still managed to get myself on or near the top of the next few mails to make up for my tardiness.
Clean sweep! Was good fun and I'm really looking forward to the round 2 fight against Ushra'khan today.
They swept their opponents as well so it should be a blast.
The only downside is that due to active wars in HOW, I had to move Genepool to -U- to allow him to participate.
This isn't such a big deal, but it means I've had to put the Empire Wars side of our activities on hold while we fight in the alliance tourney.
Some of our pilots in HOW are getting antsy so I'm anxious to get back in and start the carnage. We're debating war deccing wormhole corporations so we can camp the empire side of their hi-sec entrances..
I'm also thinking we should extend our activities to war deccing corps with lightly defended POSs with lotsa advanced laboratories and no stations in local. BPOs for the win :)
In either case, we'll need more numbers to get the job done. Be sure and let me know if these activities sound like fun to you!

Hole Plunderers!
For a great in-game channel doing what HOW has been up to these last few weeks... join Hole Plunderers in game.
http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/viewtopic.php?t=28190
Organized by a couple guys from ScrapHeap Challenge it's a group of likeminded pira... err.. pilots who are willing to cooperate to take down targets that we can't kill on our own.
The nature of WHs is that you occasionally find targets that are more than what you can quickly get friends there to tackle. When this happens, the Hole Plunderers channel gives you a place to quickly recruit said "friends."
So far they've proven trustworthy as far as I know. I've posted my ship fits there several time with all the accompanying faction and they have had numerous chances to gank me on fights that I've joined in but so far every thing has been kosher.
As an example, the image below is of a corpmate of mine in his very expensively fit Tengu ganking a Rokh and some other ships. His Tengu tackled the Rokh and they brought in overwhelming firepower for the kill.
The thing is... this Tengu has at least 1.5 bil in fittings and many of the folks in the channel knew it.
In any case... join Hole Plunderers for a good introduction to what WHorage is all about...

Even better??? First Strategic Cruiser Death!
So 2 days after the Golem kill I was working from home and decided to park myself inside a Class 3 WH while I worked. Not too far into the day I hear that beautiful sound of the WH firing.
As my buddy Anjelle says, it's kinda like the StarCraft trooper taking the StimPack..."Ah... that's the stuff"...
Interest picks up... heart rate quickens... what's coming into my web?
Loki!
Tengu!!!
Raven....
Hmmm.. very interesting!
So... I let them warp off the WH cause past mistakes have taught me that tackling ships on a WH is pretty hard to do.
They head in the direction of a planet and I follow to use the ship scanner. 3 cosmic anomalies on scan... it's a simple matter to use the map to figure out which one they're in.
I warp in at 20km and see the Tengu and Raven sitting right on top of each other and the Loki flying around shooting.... missiles?? mmmm... interesting!
Time passes... 10-15 minutes later they are down to just a single sleeper cruiser and it's time to make my move.
I've been trying to slowly close on the Tengu as I figure he's probably the juiciest fit... but he Afterburners out of range right as they get down to just one sleeper right as the Loki comes to me.
Moment of truth...
Decloak, tackle... close... blasters hot!
Genepool completes his warp in right as the oh to predictable carebear instincts kick in for his friends and they both warp...
"Damn! I wanted to tackle the Tengu also"
The Loki is tanking well until the neuts hit at which point he decides he should switch his DPS from my proteus to my Maelstrom...
It's just as well.. the truth is that without his friends he doesn't have a prayer of breaking either tank...
At this point the Raven warps back in and I wonder if they've decided to protect their friend... but what's this? The Raven is at 100km? Wasn't he torp fit?
Yes... he's either forgetful or just an idiot.. (or wanted to be able to say "Don't worry bud.. I'll save you" on Vent without risking his ship)
At this point the loki is hitting structure and I'm closing to scoop loot.

Ah yes... I think I like this hunting in WH's thing!
The only thing that would make it better is more people to help with the scanning and killing!
1.5 billion isk in the last couple weeks is pretty good profit and what better condition to acquire it than still damp with the tears of carebears?

WHorage at its finest!!!
As the wars petered out and we switched focus to the upcoming Alliance tournament I went back to my roots to hunt targets in WHs.
I started realizing that the class 2 WHs that are all over the place with POSs in them are probably not the best places to find the best targets.
Class 2 WHs are pretty worthless from a carebear perspective, and because of this, the only real reason to have a POS there is to get to a static class 3 or class 4 with better isk potential.
That being the case, I started taking the time to probe down the static 3 / 4 entrances in each of the class 2 WHs with POSs that I came across.
It was spectacularly successful.
On the first day of doing this I found a class 2 with a large pos and a static entrance to a 3. I checked out the 3 and saw that it had about 14 anomalies, and no POSs. I remember commenting to a corp mate that that 3 would be absolutely perfect for the inhabitants of the class 2 except for the fact that I knew it was there.
Oh how true that turned out to be!
Not long after, I poked a head back into the class 2 WH (from hi-sec) to see a GOLEM and Apocalypse on scan. They disappeared off scan quickly in the general direction of the class 3!
SCORE!
Giving them a little time to get ahead, I jumped into the 3 and started scanning with the ship scanner so as not to spook them. Wrecks on scan and I was able to quickly find and warp in on the targets.
They were sitting perfectly stationary about 5km from each other and just wrecking the sleepers!
I got my proteus into a tight orbit, got the Maelstrom positioned outside the class 3 entrance and then decloaked and began to agress the golem. His tank was holding steady as the maelstrom landed in the fray so I switched the proteus dps to the Apoc who quickly began to drop.
At this point a new sleeper spawn showed up and started agressing my Maelstrom.
The golem's tank was still holding... what the heck was this guy fit with! My maelstrom tank is now being overloaded by the sleepers and I'm tanking armor damage but the golem is finally starting to drop into armor.
Not too long after... I get a pretty explosion and a GF in local.
Phew... GF indeed.
http://www.freelancerunion.co.uk/eve-killboard/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17151
I can't believe how expensively this guy was fit!!!
I was so glad to get the kill.. and then so crushed to see the Estamel's Boost Amp not drop! But oh well.. I'll take solace in the 709m that the Photon Hardener sold for the next morning.
I think I like this looking deeper into the WHs thing :)

Primal Rage
I started a third war at the same time the others went active. Might as well maximize our opportunity for carnage...
The next target was a corporation called Primal. and they had 23 pilots at the time the war started.
The sole reason for this war was a golem pilot I'd seen running missions in Dodixie. I figured he probably thought he was safe and so might be well fitted, and besides, it seemed like it'd be good fun.
And it was....
http://how.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=4024416
Even if wasn't all that well fitted :/
So... I'd accomplished my primary purpose at this point.
I convo'd the CEO to see if he'd like to let me extort him for any more profit. It turns out that Primal. fancied themselves a mercenary corporation and that he was glad for the opportunity to PvP during their 'R&R' and re-structuring.
That being said, the tin-foil hats were on again as apparently my timing was once again impeccable.
Something about a merger and a disgruntled ex-CEO. I didn't understand the whole thing, but he seemed sure that we were after more than just the Golem kill.
He was a nice enough guy, but shortly after my convo with him, I got an eve-mail from Concord.

Deprived of Existence by Mercenaries of the Night has declared war on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
Within 24 hours fighting can legally occur between those involved.
It seems that they felt like they needed help against our little corp.
So.. these guys were cute (and most of them weren't old enough to drink).
Read the above as "They were immature bastards who were REALLY annoying in local."
If you look closely at their name you'll be able to guess their tag (DEMON for those that don't like acronyms) and they like to fly around in 4-5 man RR BS gangs.
At this point I was wishing we were larger as their tactics weren't all that good... but their numbers were enough to overcome the number of active pilots I could get on at any one time.
We ended up killing a triple tri-mark fitted geddon and losing an unrigged scorp in one engagement.
We had a mega we surprised that should've died in time for us to get away but ultimately our brutix DC'd before we got enough DPS on the mega and they got help in to save the mega (damn RRs everywhere) and kill both our brutix and our pilgrim.
I think the only other real action was a kill I got against a bait myrm while hi-sec ganking in my typhoon. I had less than 12 rounds per gun of any one ammo type but their passive tanked myrm just MELTED before their other BS and blackbird could get there to save him.
The mercs did more damage to us than we did to them, but it cost them 150m for their week of fun and we still have the Golem kill to WAY more than make up for total damage done in that little skirmish.
With more pilots we'd definitely have overpowered their mercs... but such is life

Wars aborted...
So.. after my first very interesting and highly profitable segue into hi-sec wars and the world of extortion, things got quiet.
I suspect that the VictimCEO from my previous post actually does read things on the interwebz because he got quiet about his need to have me go kill the evil corporation that had "hired me" in my previous post.
I had to reach out to him to see when and if he wanted me to start the war against his oppressors and he VERY politely told me that they had decided not to proceed. It was funny how careful he was to make sure that they didn't piss us off and start the whole process over again.
In any case, that war petered out.
The next one was against a 41 man corporation that I'd seen committing the terrible crime of running missions in Dodixie with 3 - 4 Caldari Navy Raven pilots. Given that my little corp has 3 - 4 active pilots I figured we might get some good fights out of them.
All faction battleship pilots had left the corp within hours of the war dec going active.
2 weeks of war dec fees later, we'd managed to kill an AFK hulk mining in a belt and a completely unfitted Myrmidon. Both of these kills are attributable to ArchVonBaron who either got the tackle (myrmidon) or just the solo kill (hulk).
The only significant movement in this war was the fact that the target corps membership dropped from 41 when we war decced them to 13 by the end of the war 2 weeks later.
Humorous, but far from profitable....

2 weeks of war dec fees later, we'd managed to kill an AFK hulk mining in a belt and a completely unfitted Myrmidon. Both of these kills are attributable to ArchVonBaron who either got the tackle (myrmidon) or just the solo kill (hulk).
The only significant movement in this war was the fact that the target corps membership dropped from 41 when we war decced them to 13 by the end of the war 2 weeks later.
Humorous, but far from profitable....
