Tusker Pilot Wanted Over Missing Reporter

//

This is not an official statement on the disappearance of Sketur Treveiwerni.

I just thought that I should post that it has come to my attention that I am wanted for questioning for my involvement with Sketurs disappearance. I first learned about it through a blog post by Oxidizing Agent. This post that can be found here is part of an interview that I did with Sketur after my friend Romeo Blackstorm mention him to me in passing. He told me that Sketur was interviewing active members of the Tuskers for some ragtag new agency. I only agreed to do it after I had read some of the other interviews that he had did with my corp mates which can be found here. After agreeing to it I met with the man and did the interview. That is all though. But now they have brought Concord and the Gallente Federation into it, what an awful mess. So if I disappear like Sketur does you will know that it is because Concord has me hidden away in some remote station in the middle of nowhere or they have locked me up and sold me into captivity to the Amarrians. We all know how corrupt Concord can be when it is in their interest. So keep looking for me over your shoulder everytime you enter lowsec and if I am not there, you know why.

Tired of mining, but cant quit?

I thought I should post these steps to recovering from carebearing up for anyone struggling with mining addiction or missioningism who thought that all hope was lost. There is a way out, you can recover. These step are just a suggestion, but rarely have I seen a person who has failed if they have thoroughly followed them.

12 Steps of Carebear Anonymous
1. We admitted we were powerless over Boredom—that our lives had become uneventful.
2. Came to believe that Piracy could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to go flashy and leave highsec behind.
4. Made suicide ganking and Gate Camping apart of ourselves.
5. Attacked noobs, miners and carebears of all types.
6. Were entirely ready to receive ransom, and take their assets and ships.
7. Promptly through out the GF(good fight) wether we won or lost.
8. Having a list of all ships we had destroyed, we prompty posted our Killmails.
9. Made direct attacks on any persons wherever possible, especially when to do so would would make us isk.
10. Continued to take personal ransoms and when we could not promptly podded them.
11. Sought through lowsec, nullsec and worhole space to improve our chances of gankage, praying only for the ability to kill our targets and to capture their pods.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps,
we tried to carry this message to carebears, and to practice these
principles in all our affairs.

Oh crap.......

It started with me just messing around Hevrice...

when I spotted a 2 year old pilot docking a hauler in the 5 station. Thinking that he might be grabbing some things to haul back to highsec I undocked my Tempest Battleship. The plan was to get set up to snipe his little hauler right out of existence. As I waited I spotted a shuttle being piloted by a guy on our corps watch list. He quickly disappeared and returned with a Phobos Heavy Interdictor, which was cause for a change of plans.

Being bored and tired of waiting on the hauler pilot to undock I decided to switch ships to my Typhoon Battleship. With the new plan of seeing if my heavy energy nuetralizers could shut off his tank and allow me to kill him. But alas to no avail. I ended up warping off as he had not aggressed me and the station guns were wearing on my tank. After which I went back and docked up to repair my damage and wait out my GCC(global criminal counter). The phobos pilot left shortly afterwards.

Thinking that is was all over, I reshipped back to my Tempest since the hauler pilot still had not undocked. As I waited I notice that the phobos pilot was back and had a corp mate with him. Thinking that they had comeback to take me on I switched ships yet again and got my corpmates on alert. Well his buddy went to the 6 station and undocked a Thanatos Carrier. I undocked my Typhoon to find the phobos waiting for me. This time he aggressed, I notified my mates and the call was made to try and take it out before the carrier could get reps on him. I immediately pointed and webbed him as my corp mates undocked and the carrier warped in. This time with the added fire power the phobos melted within seconds with a happy end result.

The surprise came next, the carrier had both web and scram fit and had me in full tackle with a full flight of fighter drones on me. Thinking that I was going to go down because I had station aggro and could not dock, I informed my mates of the situtaion as I waited for the end of my ship to come. As I sat there with depression hitting me harded with each second I noticed that I had only 9, I repeat NINE seconds to go till I could dock and had about 10% armor and all my structure left. Just that little bit of hope spurred me into even faster spamming of the dock button. Then it was 7 and my armor was gone, then 5 and my structure was at 70%, then 3 seconds and 30% structure, then 1 second and I thought that I was exploding and yelled to my mates that I was down.

Then something funny happened, I was setting in station still in my glorious Typhoon. With joy I started yelling over coms that I had made it and docked up with 1% structure. I immediately through out the GF(good fight) in local chat. The following is what I heard back:


[13:21:49] Valgore Meurte > gf
[13:22:06] Man Barthelme > gf
[13:22:45] Ethan Fletcher > You lucky b*****
[13:22:54] Ethan Fletcher > 5% structure?
[13:23:02] Valgore Meurte > less, 1%
[13:23:12] Ethan Fletcher > Oh crap.......
[13:23:40] Valgore Meurte > I have 73 hp of structur left
[13:24:01] Ethan Fletcher > I'll buy those at 10k isk each.


Yes you are seeing that correct, I had made it out with 73 hit points of structure. I cannot tell you of any other time I have made it out with so little of a ship left. I am so glad that when this first started and I decided to fight on a station that I had removed my 2 gyrostabilizers and put 2 more energized adaptive nano platings on for that extra bit of tank.
