Endy's Erstwhile Excellent Embroilment

Endy, to help overcome eve-burnout, decided that we needed some corp action which would involve as many as possible, so he settled on the idea of a lowsex friggy roam. Cheap cheerful carefree combat was the aim of the game. A worthy cause, one which reinvigorates peoples love or loathing of Eve Online.

So, a date, time and place were set...
Axloth was on, chatting on the FROOTspeak ... Chas was hanging around and even Melf showed up for some lol-sec fun times, I as always was mooching about generally doing nothing (see also: being a carebear of extraordinary cary-beary-ness). But where was Endy?

Nope, we waited a while... and no Endymi, so being that I am by far and excluding none, one of the single greatest leaders of men ever to grace the game of Eve Online I began organising the fleet. Rifters... check, Punisher, yup.. Kestral ... ok it wasnt pretty but it was our elite pvp fleet.

We headed out of Amarr into Ami lowsec, roaming northward (Without Endy ... did I mention he didn't turn up?) and excluding a lot of very boring and empty systems, we chased a few lone people, only catching up with a lone drake hugging a gate like it was his childhood 'blanky' Its surpriseing just how scary four tech 1 frigs must appear to be...

Ignoring the boring systems... In part because of the dullness of these systems and at my choice we found a local faction rat for some ISKs, Utric pushed it one further and we ran an anomaly in our shitty frigs, we were reaching that pinnacle point at which boredom begins to set in and the fleet starts doing crazy shit just because. In this case, It meant warping to a cyno, which was on a station, and then attempting to 'ransom' the Archon that undocked. The Archon pilot clearly didn't see the funny side of this and got all grumpy in local chat then docked up.


HOWEVER .... while we were all pissing about laughing at this general shenanigans, a rupture had warped to the station. Upon trying to lock him, he warped away to a gate... so we followed, we had broken the rule of Eve ... super serious internet spaceships. At this point we could in no way be considered to be in a serious mood and suicide seemed like the best way to bring things to a head.

Not wanting gate aggro, he dropped a can. Utric, not giving a single fuck, took it. Utric called engaged... (although he hadn't actually fired...) so I as FC yelled to all engage. At that point no great surprise really .. oh look a blob of death jumping through, Utric jumped through... and away to safety.. I called to GTFO chas did like a good boy and ran the hell away. The rest of us died.

In the ensuing laughter over teamspeak while smacking in local about their  requirement to use a fleet of high end stuff to take out some frigates... I check the Killboards. 

The result? we WON (in terms of isk ...)

Somehow, the rupture pilot had died to gate gun fire. This meant that, as we had caused the aggro, it got tallied to our kills!
