Happy Birthday TEARS!
Monday, October 19, 2009 at 12:01PM It has been a year since the formation of Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service, and we have never been stronger. Carebear tears continue to flow galaxy-wide, as our numbers slowly increase with like-minded players who are not content with playing the game how all of EVE would have us. Rather we continue to venture forth, breaking new ground in tear extraction techniques, never relenting on our continuing quest toward that of total awesomeness.
Over the course of this last year, TEARS has been war decced 20 times by mercenary groups and angry mission runners alike, but much to their chagrin, we have continued our operations unimpeded by their failed attempts. Miners have lost their Hulks, while countless mission runners have lost their precious, faction fitted ships to our members - members who then return that hoarded wealth back into EVE's economy. Likewise, we have dismantled alliances that have opposed us, or that have gotten in the way of our progress.
We've salvaged billions of ISK worth of salvage, rescuing it from the clutches of greedy mission runners, increasing the supply of salvage and lowering the price of rigs for all of the citizens of New Eden. Server lag has also seen improvements due to our activities, decreasing the amount of free floating debris in space, in turn freeing up valuable system resources for the game's servers.
Let me assure the citizens of New Eden that we here at TEARS will continue to strive to bring adventure, excitement, and LOL's to the eager ears of our fans and allies, while our enemies continue to curl themselves into little balls of fail and cry themselves to sleep each night, hoping in vain that a reprieve is on the way. The only reprieve they will receive however is that of the monotony of their missions being interrupted, and the opportunity for them to engage other players in this wild concept of an MMO that we all know and love, EVE Online.
Thank you pod pilots of New Eden, and thank you CCP for giving us the opportunity to serve you. Time certainly flies when you're having fun.
Happy birthday, TEARS!

So...where's my beer? :D
In the spirit of a year of salvaging, I happened upon this carebear posting that talks about "MR Ninja Tips" Missions Collide Episode 5. It's a rather long podcast, so skip ahead to about 34 minutes or so to catch the Ninja part.
Enjoy!
Sorry, that was to the main page of Missions Collide site, here is the link for Episode 5 directly.
Ah thanks. I listen to that podcast as well. I've been waiting for them to get around to ninjas. I'll give it a listen.
Hi.
Interesting guessing about drones making target's easier to be scanned down. ^^

Thanks, Tony!
Anytime, sorry I was late, but to report back I just collected about a dozen buckets of tears from a dozen bears in empire today!
