Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

How does FCON keep losing titans?

I mean, the answer is sort of obvious, but how is it JUST them?

Yeah that's more what I wanted to hear about -- what people were thinking was going to change mid and long term.

I think many of us in LSV will probably go back and consolidate a lot of our holdings on stuff, minus a specific TISHU director. :v:

(Also reddit has been doing a very efficient job at hellpurging leaks and pastebins, and seemed to be at it all night)

Yeah, no matter if it was bullshit or not I don't see Boson "puppetmaster" Dubstep being around for too much longer, just for the crime of using public pastebin for his dirt box. :v:

I'm a line member, but my personal goal is to help keep Deklein/pacify it again to liberate the stuff I left there like an idiot. That might be a long term goal, depending!

My real interest is in if CCP will finally take a hard line against the gambling sites with looming regulation and the general shadiness of the whole thing.

Honest question, I don't have a supercap so maybe I'm just a clueless idiot but how do you lose them solo like this? Did he try jumping in where there was no tower available and planned to just cap up? Otherwise I assume all you have to do is not jump into a system with a long time camper and a moment when the system is clear and then warp to the tower. Sure there is always going to be a chance a random interdictor is flying through on a roam and they'll catch you, but that has to be a one in a million chance.

It looks to me like the Titan was used as a personal ship and stuff hangar, so the player wasn't in touch with the capital goings-on of the coalition overall. The specifics of why they logged on aren't important.

In its most basic form, propaganda is an alteration of events. So A+ for gusto. It works better when you massage the story than if you come out and just claim something is true or false.

I expect gnashing of teeth and propaganda to get very loud between here and the changes that will make supercapitals a loving hassle to use.

He was dumb. No MWD, jumping into a system with neutrals, some other really :cripes: things. Most of the often-used towers in Deklein have been defanged so coming in on one wouldn't have helped.

Even putting the FCON super holocaust aside Deklein has been turned into one big game preserve, it's amazing times right now.

Yeah. Like for that three billion I used to get 8 I originally had 1.5b from ratting (which is basically impossible to do now). I bet against my favorite hockey team, the capitals be caused they stopped trying in January.

The second bet I knew very little. My wizards were a dumpster fire so I didn't pay any attention to the nba. However I looked at the gambling information on espn and the Vegas line was 2.77 payout for 1 dollar for the second best team in the east to win a home game. So you study the data and make a decision even if you aren't closely following the sport.

Yep. He was told to stay cloaked and wait until a safe route could be built for him, and he decided not to. He's an idiot.

Basically, 90% of the recent super losses have gone like this:

1) Valued ally: "Hey guys I'm back after an N month absence, what's up?"
2) Goons: "Stay cloaked, don't decloak even if it's to safe-log. Just stay put and we'll try to help you move as soon as it's safe."
3) Valued ally: "gently caress that, imma move on my own."
4) Supercap dies
5) Goons: "YOU loving IDIOT, WE TOLD YOU TO STAY CLOAKED AND WAIT"
6) No-longer-valued ally: "Tiberizzle said mean things to me :cry:"

I took an interceptor cruise through dek last night for moving slave pod reasons and every system that could possibly be a waypoint for moving caps has multiple cyno and hictor guys in it.

If someone is hunting you there's a semi-decent chance that "clear system" has a logged off hictor with probes. Your cyno goes up and it's logging in, throwing out probes and probably in warp before you can even get off your in-cyno.
