I'll keep this short and sweet, because it's very late and I'm tired.

We had our regularly-scheduled TearOp. Just with normal loot and salvage it was a success with over 120 million ISK raised.

But we also popped two missionrunners.

Here are their stories.

Kimdir learns a valuable lesson: Don't shoot at Ninjafleet.

So we're all salvaging along, some of us looting, when Kimdir gets uppity and takes a potshot at Michella. Now, Michella has only been a member for about three days, but has been playing Eve since 2004. Michella bugs out and returns with a Drake. She puts a point on the missionrunner and blows her Dominix to smithereens. The killboard link is here for your viewing pleasure. Note the very nice and very expensive Gallente Navy Neutron Blaster Cannon that dropped.

Anton Tetravus learns many valuable lessons, most of them fatal.

So at this point, our night is made. I even consider turning in for the evening, but I'm talked out of it by NinjaFleet members.

Soon, we're salvaging and looting the field of one Anton Tetravus, in a very expensive and rare battleship called a Caldari Navy Raven. He too gets uppity, and takes a shot at Emizeko Chai. Now, Emizeko is a relative newbie, and she's not actually a member of TEARS yet, just a friend who started hanging out in Ninja Alliance chat and coming along on salvage ops. Her only pew ship is a Thorax cruiser. Even with good Remote-Repair support available, I am not optimistic as she darts off to get her little blaster boat.

Figuring he must be onto something if he got Emziko to run, Anton Tetravus also takes a pot shot at Velocity Prime, CEO of Suddenly Ninjas. Now, Velocity Prime is experienced in the way of the pew, and well-equipped for it. Besides, I heard a rumor that he's a former marine commando and can kill a man with a blade of grass. Prime docks up and comes out with an Abaddon battleship.

Emizeko warps in first, warp scrambles the Caldari Navy Raven, and immediately starts getting shredded. The remote-repair ship flown by Aegamaeous comes in right behind her, healing the rifts in her small hull as they are formed by the missiles from the CNR. It's going very, very slowly. The cruiser simply will not be able to break the shields of the CNR. Velocity Prime arrives in his battleship and starts dumping large laser fire into the faction ship.

It takes a little while. Figuring that the ship alone is worth over 400 million ISK, I convo Anton Tetravus and offer him a way out.

Anton Tetravus > Yes?
Paul Clavet > 500M for your ship
Anton Tetravus > I don't have that much money.
Paul Clavet > how unfortunate
Anton Tetravus > And you started this in high sex.
Anton Tetravus > sec*
Paul Clavet > How much do you have?
Anton Tetravus > 145 mill.
Paul Clavet > Come up with the money soon I guess
Paul Clavet > Or eject :-D
Anton Tetravus > Look, just stop shooting, dude. You started it.
Anton Tetravus > Don't be an ass.
Paul Clavet > No, you shot at a ninja
Paul Clavet > So you lose your ship
Anton Tetravus > He went hostile on me.
Paul Clavet > unless you pay 500M
Paul Clavet > Get it from corpies, whatever
Anton Tetravus > Look, ceasefire and I will attempt to get money.
Paul Clavet > You have 30 seconds
Anton Tetravus > Please.
Anton Tetravus > I need more time.
Paul Clavet > clock's ticking
Anton Tetravus > What part of I need more time do you not understand?
Paul Clavet > Eject, you'll get your ship back
Paul Clavet > we keep the modules
Paul Clavet > otherwise it all dies
Anton Tetravus > No.
Paul Clavet > Nope, you're dead
Paul Clavet > Sorry we couldn't come to an agreement
Anton Tetravus > Goddammit, two minutes>
(Pop goes the CNR.)
Paul Clavet > Terribly sorry.
Paul Clavet > Don't shoot at ninjas next time
Anton Tetravus > You're a reall asshole, shitstain.
Paul Clavet > Your tears sustain me
Anton Tetravus > I don't get vengeance on Eve, trust me. I have better ways.
Paul Clavet > What are you saying?
(His last statement wasn't clear enough to get the ban stick.)
Anton Tetravus > Heh, you'll see. It's always more fun to fuck with real life than virtual.
(Bingo!)
Anton Tetravus > See ya.
Paul Clavet > Enjoy your ban
Anton Tetravus > enjoy your empty bank account.
Paul Clavet > LOL
Paul Clavet > By the way, I'm blogging this
Paul Clavet > mylootyourtears.com
Anton Tetravus > :-) I'd suggest cancelling the credit card you use to pay for eve within the next six hours.
Paul Clavet > ROFL
Paul Clavet > have fun
Anton Tetravus > Oh dude, you have no idea.
Paul Clavet > I believe I do
Paul Clavet > You're so angry, especially now since you're going to get a ban
Anton Tetravus > No, not angry, just aggrieved. That's more fun.

Now, folks. Don't do this. Don't ever do this. Eve is a game. I do some pretty terrible things to people in the game universe of Eve Online, and hosting a blog where I publicly mock them is one of those things. CCP has stated that everything I do is "within bounds" of play, and I can't get in trouble for it. Threatening real crimes in the real world, though? That's a line that you must not ever cross. I'm told by my corpies that a threat like this pretty much rates an account-level ban of the player. This means that their characters, I'm told, will be wiped from the face of the Eve universe as if they never existed, their fields salted, etc.

Besides, if you're going to make threats, do it with a name that can't be easily traced back to your real name and hometown with Google. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Anyway, here's the kill mail. Note the very, very, exceedingly, stupidly, redonkulously expensive faction fittings.

Yeah. Totaling everything up, we pulled approximately 1,247,350,000 ISK during that three-hour op. Excluding me (I never take a cut) each of the 10 players will receive over 100,000,000 ISK each, plus special bonuses for those whose combat efforts made such numbers possible in the first place.

It's a good day to be a ninja.

It's a bad day to be an overaggressive dolt of a missionrunner.
