Why Are Carebears So Angry?

Here's a short recruitment video for the Ninjas featuring some harvested carebear rage and tears.

Then again, you should be working instead of goofing around on the internet, yeah?

The Fall of Deadspace Society

Once upon a time, an innocent ninja salvager was minding his own business, collecting salvage from the depths of space in an effort to free our fine galaxy from the ever-encroaching threat of free-floating space debris. 

This innocent... Nay... this selfless act of galactic maintenance was seen as an act of hostility however, by a member of Deadspace Society, a high sec mission runner who was thinking of nothing else but increasing his own wealth through the wanton destruction of NPCs, adding to his already bloated wallet by looting and salvaging the resulting wreckage.

Deadspace Society then declared war on the ninja salvager's alliance, Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service.

The war waged on for nearly two months, both sides losing many ships, but Deadspace Society taking a severe beating ISK-wise. Deadspace Society's leadership, blinded by rage and a twisted sense of justice, continued their unjust war, losing more ISK in the process and sending a rift though their alliance membership.

Work then began on finding the location of Deadspace Society's POS's. TEARS, with the help of a few of their friends, located and succeeded in bringing down a DEADS faction tower, which was of course thought to be safe. It was not.

The destruction of the tower marked the end of the long war, and Deadspace Society shattered under the weight of it's leadership's bloated ego. As the war ended for TEARS, our friends continued to harass DEADS, until they were all but crushed under the heel of justice.

However, extended periods of unjust war do not go unchecked or forgotten....

As DEADS were recovering from their near annihilation, Tear Extraction and Reclamation Service's spies were hard at work, collecting information, gaging alliance capabilities, and waiting for the right time to spring the trap which had already been laid.

Then just two weeks ago - DEADS was coming off another extremely long war which had again devastated both their morale and infrastructure - the trap was sprung. In addition to infiltrating the Deadspace Society alliance proper, agents located and infiltrated one of Deadspace Society's alt corporations, pillaging their coffers and spreading the word that they had just been ravaged by Suddenly Ninjas. 

News of the theft rang out throughout Deadspace Society's alliance channels, enraging and throwing the carebear alliance into despair. TEARS then declared war upon Deadspace Society. DEADS was, for all practical purposes, caught between the anvil and the hammer. Their morale broken completely, DEADS began to shed its members and its corporations.

Presently all that remains of Deadspace Society is the shattered remnants of a once large and thriving alliance. Most of their members have left and/or are leaving for greener pastures, while the rest of their mambers are inactive accounts that haven't logged in for months. Deadspace Society is effectively, dead.

And it's been a pleasure. Thank you to all who assisted in the wars against DEADS.

Have a pleasant day, and remember, our Shinobi are watching you. 

LOL Fits #10: It's Raining Morons

You know what they say: When it rains morons, it pours. This episode of LOL Fits is a laugh-a-thon, multi-funtacular, episode of stupid. Why so many weird ship fits seemed to pile up on us in such a quick amount of time, I don't know, but you'll never see me complaining about it.

Enjoy.

Super armor repper Thorax! 

Multi-turret, multi crystal, killed by a Rifter?

The old "shield tank + armor tank = awesome tank" syndrome

What?

High priced battelship kill of the month

Zephyrs and Hulks and Apotheoses, Oh My!

TEARS just completed our internal Zephyr Gank-O-Rama Contest. The contest ran from December 18 to January 6, the time period that CCP chose to give away the Zephyr. After all was said and done, a total of 44 Zephyrs were destroyed by 16 TEARS members. 

Little things like security status (an important thing for a ninja salvager to keep above -2.0) seemed to keep getting in the way of us killing even more Zephyrs. Combine that with the dwindling amount of people willing to take their new Zephyrs out for a spin and TEARS being involved in two wars during the two week period that the contest was running, it accounts for some of the shrinkage in the amount of daily Zephyr kills. Oh, and of course there is Hulkageddon arriving on the heels of our little contest as well, yet another demand on our ever decreasing sec status. Who said high sec shenanigans was easy? Well done, gents.

Along with a host of other fabulous prizes, all Suddenly Ninjas members who participated in the effort will be receiving a medal to commemorate the occasion. Zephyr's Bane: Awarded to the brave members of Suddenly Ninjas who sacrificed their security status in order to participate in the TEARS Zephyr Gank-o-rama Contest. December 18, 2009 to January 6, 2010. Many Zephyrs were destroyed.

I made one last effort on the day that the contest ended. I really want to put down a few Hulks for Hulkageddon and have been slowly nursing my sec status back to semi-respectable, but the urge to kill one last Zephyr got the better of me. I camped the Boundless Creation Factory in Hek until my victim emerged from his little hidey-hole like a spring chicken hopping into the wolves' den.

When undocking, this guy seemed to be invulnerable FOREVER. He got out of the range of my guns before I could even target him - poor planning on my part to be sure. Not to worry however, I pursued him and one-shotted him into a pile of scrap.

Full size version.

So with a resulting security status of -1.91, it's back to ratting I go. Hopefully I'll be back from 0.0 in time to kill a few Hulks before Hulkageddon is over.

Did your Zephyr survive the holidays? If so, congratulations. That doesn't mean it won't be shot if you are flaunting it in public though. Keep it locked up safe and sound, and one day you will look cool flying it around just like this guy did in his Apotheosis. Well, he looked cool for a little while anyway.

Happy hunting, and may all your ganks be ganky.
