My Loot, Your Tears

Everyone occasionally does something daft. Something so amazingly stupid you wonder how in hell you could have managed it.

I'm not talking about failfits here or missioners shooting at me, or even orcas grabbing a can I've recently flipped. Nah, I'm talking about fun ways to die. Last time, it was with two of my characters, accidentally concording one against the other, and then being unable to tank and losing the second...

This time, however, is even more fun.

Imagine this. It's the first day back from a month-long break from EVE, and I sorta wanna shoot at something. I hop in my stealthbomber, and go wormhole hunting. I find one after a few tries, and hop inside. Within this system I find a retriever mining away, blissfully unaware of my presence. I wait till I can point, decloak, ignore what I think is a bugged warning dialog (I'm in w-space, right?), and start laying into his ship.

Suddenly, my bomber vaporizes, and I'm in my pod... There's concord sitting right there... and the barge is in low hull. Woo.

Apparently, I had forgotten, in my absence, that wormholes can go anywhere. I also forgot that there are no overview belts on my overview when in w-space. Apparently, this particular one, went to a .6 off in Caldari space. Yeah... I basically tried to suicide a barge with my bomber, unknowingly. So there's about 70 mill down the drain. I went back to dixie in my pod, and got myself and fitted another bomber. Then I logged off for the night, as obviously I wasn't paying attention enough to play correctly.

Anyway, there's my most recent stupid moment.

As a side note, war targets need to stop informing me when they add me with terrible standing. It just lets me know who they are. Not that I mind, of course. But it sucks for them. I sent the most recent one a nice mail thanking him for making my job that much easier.
