Thukk You, Frill Me: The Vagabond Protest
In an update to my previous report of the Vagabond's now-missing "frill", and a call to CCP to return it, an offical protest event has been organized: Thukk You, Frill Me This July 15th, 1900 EVE time in-game event will… -
It Was Old Man Goon All Along!
Or, How Paul and Khalia Unintentionally Rode The Coattails of Goonswarm to Almost-Riches So Khalia and I recently sort of came back to Eve. I wanted to try the ninja baiting thing again, but quickly once more fell into… -
Ice Miners Go Boom
I was hanging around yesterday in the Gonegalt channel where Goons & friends connect to share intel and coordinate ice miner ganks. Someone mentioned a Mackinaw in Ignebaener. Fellow blogger Planetary Genocide perked… -
Minor Corp Theft: Wormhole Engineers (1bn)
I know I've been neglecting the blog. I won't apologize. Take that! The other day I had a few hours to kill and went checking on some of my long-dormant infiltration accounts. There was one character that had been part… -
Wormholey Fun: 5ksBone's Army
So about a year ago I made an alt with the intention of diving headfirst into wormhole life. This alt was then used as an afk mining alt, then as an infiltration alt.... You know, what happens every time you start an… -
Reader Mail: MultiVersal
It's a great feeling when someone mails us at MLYT telling us that we helped them succeed at endeavors we've attempted and done ourselves. When I wrote my guide on corporate infiltration, I didn't expect to see physical… -
Chase08888 Hands Paul Clavet 600M ISK
Remember back in October of 2009 when Michella infiltrated Transfixion ? A young man named Chase08888/Chase88888 was one of the primary victims of that infiltration and the subsequent extortion. It appears that shortly… -
Cosmoray Holdings Was a Ponzi Scheme
I've been following the Market Discussion forum for about as long as I've been playing Eve. The idea that the economy in Eve was complicated enough to support a secondary market was something that set it apart from most… -
Corp Theft: Upstarts Unlimited (4bn)
A few days ago Upstarts Unlimited invited my alt with terrible skills and a corp history as long as my arm into the corp without so much as a limited API check. After about a week I finally got into their wormhole and… -
Dishonorable Mentions: Instant Billionare
Tweakboy over at the Event Horizons blog took a first step into corporate theft, and won big on his first try . An excerpt: During this time i noticed several new recruits in corp chat. I started asking if anyone needed… -
Offline POS Takedown Nets 1.55 Billion ISK
Today Honorless Internet Jerks destroyed another offline POS tower, for a return of around 1.55 billion ISK. It took roughly 6.5 hours with four battleships to destroy the large True Sansha Control Tower. The Corporate… -

When Noob Ships Attack!
Paul and I just finished taking down a Dread Guristas Control Tower but that story is going to wait for the next post. My two characters Khalia and Johanes had self-destructed their POS-bashing battleships for the… -
War! Ludi Sacerdotales, Part 3 - Fin
This will be the post where everything comes to close, where all the fun stuff we've been storing up for later gets to come out and see the light of day. This has been delayed a bit, but we do have real lives...… -
Pirate Invasions
Today when I logged on in Ruvas to look for carebear targets, I saw some strange purple chat in local. Further investigation revealed that this was a pirate invasion live event. I grabbed an interceptor from my Orca and… -
Corporate Espionage
The one thing everyone is motivated by? Money. Oddly enough, this person gave me intel without asking for payment. Fortunately it fits the information provided by another source. Note : Read from bottom up. -
War! Ludi Sacerdotales, Part 2
Part 2 of the war journal isn't going to be nearly as exciting reading as part 1. From our last report, Ludi Sacerdotales had just dropped out of their self-owned alliance to get a 24-hour break from our wardec. Our new… -
War! Ludi Sacerdotales, Part1
Captain Charismatic has a skill for finding corporations which are worth Jerks attention. Most recently he found us Ludi Sacerdotales , who were allowing anyone with a pulse to join. Captain joined under one of his alts… -
Got it, thanks.
To all who volunteered to help with that heist I talked about. You know, the one whose post I deleted for OPSEC reasons? I think I have the pilot I need. I will respond to your post if I need you. I got over a dozen… -
Rothrizar learns Scamming 101, provides delicious tears
I've been away from the Jerk lifestyle for a while, trying some of the other things in EVE. One of the Ninja Alliance members, Meccros, had been making ISK from loan scams - which I had not tried - and I got the chance… -
This Is Why You Don't Autopilot While At War
Killmail: http://eve-arena.com/encounters/4221280/ The Jerks wardec against OWN Alliance is still open, and pilot Xerxes Thirteen apparently forgot, or stopped taking us seriously. I found him auto-piloting his Charon… -
Tears via Contracts
I warp into a Worlds Collide mission. Mission runner warps out. I come back a while later and he's still not there, but the third room isn't finished and the crew has not been liberated. So I liberate the Ship's Crew… -
Suck it, Crigga
I moved up to Umokka in Lonetrek to do some salvage-and-bait. Dodixie is the traditional ninja home, but it's fun to terrorize and annoy the runners from other parts of the game - who are hopefully not as jaded as… -
Absolut Fail
Paul has a good luck saying he likes to use when trying to get mission runners to shoot at him: "Get in the boat, fish." It's a lot more amusing when he says it - just trust me. Everyone has the story of "the one that… -
Tebos Has Trust Issues, Pays with Cash and Ferox
So I'm Jerking it up in Ichoriya when I see this in local: Tebos > anyone want to help me out witha ninja? Interesting. I should at least see what's up with him. Maybe it's someone I know, or maybe I can turn it into a… -
Night of the Fail-Fleets, Part I: Twilight Labs
When it rains, it pours. On this Sunday night in Dodixie we had the pleasure of ganking two entire missionrunner fleets. This is about the first - the pilots of Twilight Labs. As it usually happens this began with some… -
If first you explode, go back and explode again
It's 1:30am as I write this; apologizes in advance for any strangeness. After several months in my own corporation - Sleeper Asset Relocation Services - I have left to join Paul in Honorless Internet Jerks. The choice… -
Shoopusmawhoopus Infiltrates Corp, Steals Orca, Kills Retrievers, Pods
Great post over at Rifter Experiences by Shoopusmahwhoopus, who I understand is getting started on the bait-and-gank and griefer lifestyle. With three days and just a couple hours of work, he robbed a new-ish carebear… -
Patience is a virtue, as Outlaw5tar discovered
My security status dropped to -3.00 over night, from an event which I'll post up here after the video footage becomes available. Because of this I've moved operations to Emolgranlan until I am able to bribe CONCORD into… -
STWizard: Fool Me Thrice...
So I'm poking along in my Vigil, cleaning up the last of my scan hits. I warp to a Dominix hit that is half an hour old, nearly guaranteeing that the goods will be long gone when I arrive. Only in this case, what I find… -
I'm Not a Dev, I Just Play One on TV
I'm on a vacation from my wormhole, thanks to a two-day event in which we held a POS from ransom - and then killed it, of course. Off to Dodixie I went - months since I did any salvaging and gank baiting. Paul joined me… -
In the Distance, a Deep Rumbling is Heard...
Mark your calendars. January 7 through January 14 will be Hulkageddon II , an Eve-wide concerted effort to teach carebears not to AFK mine, via suicide ganking . I will be out of town for most of the festivities, but I… -
Transfixion, Part II: How to Take Infiltration to Demoralization in Three Short Days
For the first part, please read this entry first: So Long Transfixion, and Thanks for all the Fish This is a chatlog-heavy post, but if you'll patiently read through them you'll see how I used Mich's infiltration work,… -
I Accidently The Whole Tower
One of my alts has formed a new corporation for the purposes of Wormhole-space exploitation. He's currently sitting in our chosen system while the funds are being raised for the POS and fittings. Every day or two I scan… -
Epic Ninja Work: Orca Theft
I've been putting this story off since I've been in the middle of moving, but it deserves to be told (and Paul has been bugging me about it). I was doing my usual scan-and-salvage work a few nights ago, when a call went…
