Tas and I were hunting Boz somethingorother in Iit.....n. Long story short, we blew an early opportunity playing on the safe side. Then hunted him a looooong time. When we finally had him cornered cause he jumped through the gate we were camping, we got ready. He uncloacked and we locked. So did the sentry guns. . . again. We opened fire and Tas got the first warp scramble on him. I got mine off late trying to make sure my missles were firing. Then I started taking damage. We BOTH pulled a newb move there and didn't turn our jammers on. We had 5 ship specific jammers loaded, and none of them were on!! By the time I got my mouse down to turn them on, he blew up. Tas's drones didn't even have time to get over there to help out. Two sentry guns will HURT, FYI. He was flying an assult cruiser. Estimated at about 190,000,000. As Tas went to loot, a Nomad Battleship showed up. Assumed to lend a hand to Bos. He targeted both of us, but duh, we didn't do anything. He left, probably knowing how hard the sentry guns hit. Tas picked up all the loot. There were about 9 tech II items as loot. Easily about 10 million in parts. His pod got away FAST, but there was no bounty anyway. So, we shot, we scored!! However, because the fucking sentry guns interfered again, we didn't get the email credit for the kill, again. He would NOT have died had we not scrambled him, but noooooo. We still don't get credit.

So, that's the second 150+ million ship that has been destroyed as a direct result of our actions.

Some day. . . I might actually score a legit kill in this damn game. I have joked for quite some time that the game simply will not let me score a kill. Either the people log (maybe the game disconnects them) just as we are ready to go, or, the game jumps in and scores the kill before I can. The game hates me.

The word is starting to get out, There is a new sheriff in town! This will no doubt give us more targets, but make things much more dangerous as well.

Bos was guilty of blowing up trade ships in iit and all along Northern Lonetrek, for that, he loses his expensive Heavy Assault Cruiser!

Too bad about the sentry guns, we were specced to fight bos without them, so it is kind of unfortunate that they had to play a factor in his demise.

We'll take the kill tho, and I'm sure his Nomad friends will take note that we don't hesitate to take down a HAC, no matter how good/old the driver is. If you plan on coming up here to help, be sure to Copy the Nonni-->Tartoken Instas, to keep yourself safe and able to quickly redeploy. The bookmarks are in the 6th Division Locker, in Iit.

And speaking of joining, more of you people should be combat ready by now.

Apparently the PKs implemented a, when we can't successfully fight players younger than us, we'll band together and do it.

I scouted out daras, to find Bos, now in a Cerberus, and about 6 or 7 guys, a mix of nomads, Tundragon, and Insane decision. Gate camping the Ot gate, as far as I can tell.

I wisely have been hanging out in Steel, reading Statistics notes, but there has been all kinds of traffic, and the body count is piling up.

About 5 minutes ago a Alliance Freighter escort Battlegroup came by, apparently the PKs scattered to the wind when they jumped in...

Course the Battlegroup was about 10 Battleships with escorts and two freighters, so maybe that wasn't soo stupid.

Well duh!!! The PK has ALWAYS implimented the 'way too much power for the job' mentality. That's why they are so successful!! The anti-PKs always let their ego's get in the way. The bad guys just want to kill cause it's fun. The good guys always want to be in charge and do things their ways and stuff. But ya, the bad guys find owning newbies fun. And when they get owned by newbies, they just get more power. And that's why we need more of the group to step up.

Nother kill - sort of
