From Fountain.
<br />So, we ground sov. We've killed stations and POSs. In stealth bombers!
<br />
<br />It's been the same routine most of the times, we fleet up in SBs, start shooting whatever space junk is needed to get destroyed and eventually Pandemic Legion gets a cyno ship in, light the cyno and in jump anything from 4-10 caps and super caps.
<br />Upon which we cloak and get out of there. Rinse repeat. Untill PL drops the ball and nothing happens and the structure dies.
<br />
<br />Lately we've coordinated with Goons welpfleets. Which means that things go faster, and PL caps dies horribly. It seems to me that PL is failing with most defences these days. They've lost caps in the dozens lately, I think the weeks result (!) is in the neighbourhood of 15 caps and a super. Wtf is up with that?
<br />
<br />Anyway, lots of POS and station shoot recently, but we're almost done I think. All PL tech moons are now former PL tech in the safe hands of FA. Unless I miss something. We're getting organized - and I think stuff can go back to normal now. Just need the roams.
<br />
<br />Oh, and yesterday I was in on two dread kills. When logged on there was a hysterical Zagdul on alliance chat yelling for welpfleets in K4 to get on the titan and jump to save a tech moon of Goons. Apparently another dozen of PL dreads had gone into siege (which for the uninitiated means they are sitting ducks while dishing out tremendous damage at what the target). Welpfleet was to jump in to system and kill off the ducks, and support fleet.
<br />
<br />There was a big scramble to get organized but I managed to get on the titan eventually, jump over to KLY and ... where the feck was the fleet? Lots of confusion, lots of www in fleet as people where gathering in VFK and K4 with www's aplenty drowning the location in the target system. When I finally got on grid, most of the dreads were already dead - the remaining support fleet were retreating and only a token few dreads still alive. One died as soon as i got there, but got in on the other two.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-58044893131512593452011-07-18T23:31:00.000-07:002011-07-18T23:50:54.674-07:00VFK "Leet" pvpers and all thatSo I'm on holiday from mayhem. <br />And that's when a group of people calling themselves "LEETPVP" or somesuch thinks it's ok to attack Deklein. As we are part of the Deklein coalition we are ordered to deploy up north for a few. The supercap heavies start their invasion (Ev0ke, NC., PL, Raiden., IRC) and manage to gain a few system - partly because <br /><br />a/ Mostly Harmless decides to consider defection (and later actually does it seems) dropping all their space. A couple of weeks later MH disbands.<br />b/ "Leet" pvp apparently involves supercap blobing. And we mess up the cyno jammers on a system or two.<br /><br />Then "Leet" make a push for VFK, DKUK and other vital systems. Stuff is reinforced all over the place, hostile staging POSs go up and off they log. Some of them, others jump their supers back to their homelands. <br /><br />This is obviously a mistake, either you invade full scale and stay there (6VDT anyone?) or you don't invade, or at least jump out all your supers from Goon space. What happens when you try a "trickle invasion" leaving unprotected staging POSs in hostile mainland, is ... yes you guessed it - 6VDT again. The horn of Goondor is blown, main Goon space is turned into a blue Jita and the pitiful remains of the invading forces are bubbled to hell and back in "rape cages". Every single hostile POS is bubbled, every single gate is bubbled, home space is filled with blues 23½/7 and all gates are camped. The systems are cyno jammed. The remaining invasion forces are trapped ....<br /><br />Don't forget 6VDT - "I was there" =)<br /><br />We hell camped it for days on end. Goons, Test and FA (the 3 main alliances forming the fleets out here) will hell camp Deklein until the invasion forces are obliterated. Or the "Leet" forces manage to turn the cyno jammers off.<br /><br />From what I've seen of rescue attempts (and breakout attempts) the "Leet" forces are seriously underwhelming when it comes to subcap battle.<br /><br />Following on all this, we had an Awoxer in our midst (again). It's out of our corp, but we are now scrambling to reorganize as our CEO stood down in the aftermath of the event.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-22387319144553939102011-07-07T13:21:00.000-07:002011-07-07T13:25:26.772-07:00To celebrate the holidayAnd to cheer me up after losing a shitload of ships this week.<br />I got the last Ashimmu in Fountain (at least for now).<br /><br />I've ordered my faction mods, will have Amarr cruiser V when I'm back and dear God don't get near this beast of a heavy tackler on gate camps, With 18km 90% web, 3 med neuts and a gang backup, you will be so dead =)<br />Really looking forward to take this out for a camp or two. <br /><br />That it looks so sexy doesn't hurt any either =)Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-37722634836269029122011-07-05T13:34:00.001-07:002011-07-05T13:39:55.684-07:00A bitch of a miserable week3 ships in a week. I'm going back to mining...<br />1 Maelstrom in the defence of DKUK where we completely routed evoke and friends. I managed to warp out (it was lagging badly) and back in on top of the evoke fleet. Not a good manouvre. Another Maelstrom in defence of VFK for god knows what reason I was primaried. And now, bad to extremely bad luck we managed to warp into a red bomber camp and my Huginn went bye-bye. I take some consolation that the Huginn is my least like T2 ship.<br /><br />I'm off on holiday soon. When I'm back I get a Zealot and/or an Ashimmu for armor roams.

More like body guard duty. We were chasing a small fleet together with Test and sandwiched them close to PNQY. So while we were camping a gate there we get on comms that someone was shooting our mighty leader. As he was in a faction frigate he was getting pretty worried about it all.<br /><br />Turned out it was a newbie Test guy with fucked up overview. Down goes the little Jaguar.<br /><br />As to the neut fleet we were blue balled by Test ... after much excited voices on comms it turns out the fleet flew straight into the Test gate camp, and swiftly lost several ships. They ran just as we got into warp to the gate where the fighting was ending. The next 45 mins was spent roaming Fountain without much luck and playing log offski games with the reminder of the neut fleet.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-89561962734971496722011-06-17T13:39:00.000-07:002011-06-17T13:54:20.921-07:00It's been a terrific weekThe battle of CIS was a blast. It's a bit hard getting my head around how we spanked the fleets out there. Amazing - in a fine way.<br /><br />A whole bunch of new kills today. Not on the CIS level, but nevertheless, spankingwise we are now running the show. Keeping the lesser entities out of our space, or punishing them if they for some misbegotten reason try roaming in it. This time it was a motley fleet from "Monkey Circus" that got severely punished. Call went out in alliance that a camping gang expected a hostile fleet close by. So, reinforcements were added to the campers and off we went.<br /><br />We caught them off PNQY and chased them into a neighbouring system. Faced by either continuing deeper into DekC space or trying to get home again, they chose the latter. When trying to escape we caught their seemingly disorganised fleet on a gate and swiftly proceeded to obliterate it. We had 8-10 kills to one 1 loss, while only very few ships got away, basically because of lack of bubblers on our part.<br /><br />Earlier in the day I had two kills on my "Super wolf" which is, unfortunately no longer. It has lived well passed the expected time-to-live date anyway. Need to replace it now. No Wolfs in 9r4 to be had though. My sniping Muninn set-up seems to work really well, even if there no sniping involved in today's activities - it's still a powerful HAC doing at least as much damage as battle cruisers.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-92011325917901514592011-06-12T22:25:00.000-07:002011-06-12T22:49:47.073-07:00The Battle of CISYesterday.<br />It was completely awesome. Although the fleet invite was nothing out of the ordinary - as standard "Strat op" to win a Tech moon in CIS. During dinner time. Fortunately it all was a bit delayed, so I got back from dinner in time to join. As I haven't had the time to move my alpha maelstrom from YI- yet I had to sign up with my sniper HAC - which turned out completely brilliant.<br /><br />We were titan bridged onto unsuspecting enemies and their POS and after a few confused seconds where a corp mate managed to lose his Scorpion we warped off to regroup and engage in an orderly fashion.<br /><br />So we went back, and meeting a fleet of our own size local was filled with 230+ pilots fighting for the moon. In the middle of our FC calling out primaries, secondaries and tertiaries - which we swiftly proceeded to kill off - news came of a tackled enemy Titan. It managed to kill two of our carriers but as everyone wanted in on a titan kill, it fairly rapidly got into mid armor - and did a logoffski.<br /><br />Having lost a juice titan kill we were immediately distracted from it as the remaining enemy fleet continued to fight. My little sniper HAC (a Muninn, 110km range standalone, 121 with fleet bonuses) faught, heavily and dodging in and out among the battleships, getting under fire - taking damage, getting repped by our logis, sniping away at the enemies, T2 cruisers, battleships and whatever was called. At one point it looked like I was going to die, as I had gotten too far away from our logis, and was taking bad shield damage bleading into armor. Turning on the micro warp drive and burning out to sniping distance kept the ship alive to see the end of the battle, while killing everything in sight.<br /><br />What a difference to the last time we engaged Rooks and Kings. That time my benefactor lost his Scimi, and the entire fleet was spanked pretty badly. Now, this time, we did the spanking.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-16434477258714174702011-02-19T12:32:00.000-08:002011-02-19T12:38:57.711-08:00First kill for -FA-Former allies and general shoot everything that flies, Godfathers, came visiting in our new home a pocket from V6 on out in Fountain. We had them trapped in two dead end systems and after a bit of gate camping trying to probe them down, they got reinforcements from NPC space and decided to make a run for freedom. A cry went out from our scout in a neighbouring system, and our probers at the same time - and then they all jump out of the trap.<br /><br />Vagabond was called primary, bubble went up and we got him to structure when reinforcements warp in on the gate. So while I finished off the vaga we were at the same time getting the f- out off the gate. While I - again - watched as my shield and armor melted rapidly away from my poor hound... <br /><br />This time I got out of the bubble with the luxury of 90% structure left. Second battle I almost died in it, but it survived - I love my trusty Wolf =)Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-21413575161659543912011-02-14T13:01:00.000-08:002011-02-14T13:07:48.320-08:00Waiting ...So we are moving from Convicted (A.I.F) to Fatal Ascension (FA). Will be interesting. Hopefully only a few hours left until I can undock tomorrow morning and start getting all my stuff the last few jumps. Benefactor has been doing silly missions, got a 100m+ implant as a reward, as well as a 3x blueprint of stuff 40-60m a piece. Maybe I should pod him?<br /><br />And yeah, the move went all according to plan.

After having flown 2 HACs, a battleships and a covops over to PNQY using the jump bridges from TN- I now have only a Noctis to get some 20 jumps over. The plan is:<br /><br />1. Jump back to an empty clone in Geminate<br />2. Suicide that to get to TN- without moving a ship<br />3. Fly a shuttle from TN- to 9-4<br />3b. Load all crap into the Noctis<br />4. Fly the Noctis from 9-4 to PNQY<br />5. Set med clone to PNQY<br /><br />Phew ... 6 hours to wait to jump.<br />And that will most likely be all that's done until Tuesday. At the end of this mini-op I'll still have a stealth bomber in 6VDT. Need to figure out the best way of getting that thing out of there ...<br /><br />And yeah, almost forgot - I got myself a new HAC. Rather than the Vaga I've flown a couple of times, I had to re-ship in a hurry at one time and the only thing I thought good enough was a Muninn, sniping fit apparently. Got some solid 80-90km range on that thing ... very neat. Already got a kill on it as well, when bashing a tower in Syndicate. Need to fly it more to know how to handle it, as the name of the thing reveals "Wtf is this thing" =)Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-22257895552750685192011-02-10T23:22:00.000-08:002011-02-10T23:29:50.441-08:00Well the war is overmore or less anyway.<br />IT is ground into dust. Fountain has largely been taken, and there there is only token mop up operations to be done. Time for roams. And make iskies maybe.<br /><br />I've done two recently, both in Fountain. One success full with 4 kills in the first engagement. I brought my little trusty Wolf out to null. And seeing the tank evaporate to battlecruisers and other ships I somehow managed to hold on and kill four of them before they were all itsy-bitsy. Left the field with 30% armor left - woooohoooo =)<br />Second roam, was on for one and a half hours - got 1 pod. Stupid targeting was bugged or whatever, maybe need to replace bits and pieces of it ... again ... And of course, just as I leave (or bit after really) there is this large battle with lots of murder and mayhem =( Bugger.<br /><br />Even considering joining in the Hulkageddon, just for giggles.

Now I've got a hull, and assorted mods, but not a space worthy Hound. A pity, oh well at least I can give parts away to mates who might be able to assemble something of it - and sell the Hound if the worst comes to the worst.<br /><br />We made the news at least : http://www.evenews24.com/2010/12/26/nc-revolt-c0nvicted-attacks-dem0n-hunters/<br /><br />and battles are now 1-1 only because RAGE are incompetent enough not to handle a much smaller alliance on their own. It's actually pretty pathetic, I think we had 60+ vs 220+ when we had the second encounter. And a large part of that was NC allies, like MM, Systematic Cha0s, Mostly Harmless and other lesser enteties .... not. Truly pathetic. Well, RAGE is one alliance I won't join - please remind me of it if need be.

Chiana has done this before. The carebear is out of harms way for now. All valueble assets (that ratting Maelstrom is something like 200m+ even if not faction fit, and the skillbook is also in empire) - damn I sold one for 130m in Cloud Ring, me and business ... It took a bit of a gamble and a pair of scout eye to get big slow Maelstrom out the door. Fortunately the pipe from LR to Aldik is short and has been fairly quiet during early holiday days. Still a few nerve wrecking moments with an afk-neut (who might or might not come alive) and another couple of hostiles in Eurgrana who were not on the gates. The afk cloaky neut is flying a Loki by the way. I happened to gather that, didn't pass it on. Let the fucktards find that out by themselves.<br /><br />Got a few cheap ships still in Geminate, nothing to feel sorry for if/when they go poof ... Question is now what the carebear is going to do for a living. As the CEO said, it didn't exactly turn out as planned ...<br /><br />We'll see how the plans with the alliance and with the budding indy section fares through all this. Won't do much anyway during the next few holi days =) OK, so - so far the top alliance beings have been still pretty quiet about everything, I still don't know exactly what's going on, and why and when things will be happening - apart from that tomorrow there is one planned op. <br />I am discovering - the hard way - that C0nvicted is <span style="font-weight:bold;">not</span> -7- I just wish it wasn't so bleeding obvious.<br /><br />Oh well ... let the hostilities commence ...Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-52819818284180762542010-12-22T09:37:00.000-08:002010-12-22T09:50:01.379-08:00Almost Christmas and frell I know what is going onO, joyous period of the year is approaching. Not. Rather than merriment and hostilities, it's frell I know what and hostilities.<br /><br />Geminate - the place in space we currently call home is being invaded. It was clear that is would happen from the start. Drone russians thought Geminate would be a good Christmas gift to their guys (and gals). About the same time the russian invasion starts, RAGE thinks it is a good time to chuck C0nvicted out of Geminate...<br /><br />The reasons why are .... let's say slightly obscure. And C0nvicted top guys seriously lacks communications skills .... Everything will be explained on Friday is the now too familiar explanation as to why the f* we should evac. Or not. Or what the hell. I don't know. I guess I'll try to find a contract to get my ratting ship out then. That's about all I've managed to get in so far. Oh, and then there is the rumour that we are out of NC (which seems logical as we are there as guests of RAGE). But checking my old corp - we are still blue. So no reset. Yet.<br />Then we had a rumour that RAGE changed their minds and we are not to be chucked out after all. Maybe.<br /><br />And then there is the comforting thought that NC is going to drop a fleet on us any second. Althoguh I believe NC is involved in Fountain at the moment, which is at the other end of their space.<br /><br />Null politics at their muddiest.<br /><br />It's all very confuddling - there's an invasion of Geminate going on, and no one gives a sh** even if they should - maybe - save their home space - or RAGEs home space or NCs southeastern border, or whatever it is.<br /><br />Come Christmas Eve we know, maybe. I'll know Christmas Day. I might be surrounded in red space when I sign on next =)Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-33142792026403022712010-12-14T12:44:00.000-08:002010-12-14T12:56:36.268-08:00A new startFirst things first.<br />The war against againt Ev0ke (or eJoke as they were called) is over. -7- took over large parts of Cloud Ring, and Ev0ke left to harass other parts of the universe. Lots of fights was had, and the benefactor eventually settled on flying logistics. And stopped losing ships. <br />DRK ended up with a two systems in Cloud Ring, a gazillion POSes that needed constant feeding and good ratting. Also, lots of pew.<br /><br />Unfortunately most of it were in times, this being was asleep.<br /><br />So ended up ratting. A lot. Easy ISK making given 3-5 1.2 BS rats. But in the end a bit boring. And my benefactor managed to lose or misplace his hulk. So ...<br /><br />To cut a lot of unnecessary text, I'm back in my first corp. Sons of Odin ... EU-based pirates, going null sec. There are apparently a couple of options, one being getting back into Pure Blind =) Which is a bit ironic as DRK moved out of that space ... If that's where we end up it'll be partaking in the Fountain campaign I guess. In EU-time hopefully. That'll be interesting. <br /><br />Apparently also, SoO will put up a indy operation. I guess dear benefactor will enjoy carebearing in null again. He'll just have to stop misplacing his hulks. And get that Rorqual he has trained for...Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-11085643255638804502010-10-24T18:51:00.000-07:002010-10-24T19:02:23.645-07:00War endless warMe and my benefactor (although at the rate he's losing ships at the moment, I am the benefactor) are in null sec war. NC is pushing into Cloud Ring. In the process our corp got one of the best systems in Cloud Ring as a "thanks for all the fish" pressy.<br />And the corp is providing all the CTA ships as a fish thingy I think. I even called one of my CTA ships "Pressy".<br /><br />It has been a lot of action - I'm trying to be there, my kill ration in D.R.K has gone up from the other corps (I'm actually plus now). Blob warfare is new though - most frustrating when a FC calls out primary left right and centre while you ship behaves as drugged snail on downers. "It was not too bad" they said with 400 in local (500 according to those who kept better track). I went 3-1 while able to do something latest op.<br /><br />My benefactor is 1-13, dunno what he's doing. Not anything right anyway. Think he got in on incaping a pos gun or four the other day before being hotdroped by 4 supercaps with fleet.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-62981915463679116372010-08-24T13:17:00.000-07:002010-08-24T13:29:32.115-07:00Back from holidayA long one. And the corp moved, and changed alliance. In the nick of time apparently.<br />Our old area in Insmother is in the hands of Red Alliance nowadays. <br /><br />We are now in Sev3rance up north. Some of our pvp-ers have been taking top spots in killing stuff for some time now, which is cool. And for some reason - I've found a bit of time for pvp as well.<br />we're having a nasty battle for D2-HOS on at the moment, and I thought I'd join up in a fleet a few days ago. Unfortunately familly business and other RL got in the way, so I missed the formup and leaving of fleet. Not long after our fleet left a largish red fleet came through the system I was fitting my spanking brand new Vaga in. Apparently the idea was to catch our fleet between reinforcements for the POS bash and the BC fleet. Fortunately our support caught up with the reds and engaged them en route while the main POS bashing gang went about their business.<br />A few late comers set up an "impromptu" gate camp behind the red support fleet, in effect cathing them between our support and a camped gate. Joining in, it was picking candy from a baby. Either killing off pods trying to escape from the system, or preventing reinforcements reaching them.<br />Got 8 kills off of that.<br /><br />Another battle ensued for D2-HOS today. Brought a stealth bomber to the party, but the party got pretty laggy with 600+ in system. I guess we'll see tomorrow what damage I did, at least one kill - a logoffsky Drake apart from the possible mayhem some bombing runs did.<br /><br />This was the first time I got home in the same stealth bomber that I left with - cool =) And the score in Sev3rance is now up to (at least) 9 kills 0 losses ... weird that.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-85670731033976198332010-06-03T03:44:00.001-07:002010-06-03T03:45:20.129-07:00The Spire IIDisappointment. <br /><br />Nothing to pew but faction drones, red blobs or docked cravens.<br />Rumour has it that red is coming to me instead.

After setting off from X5 I put my goal at the first system in The Spire and off I go... only to get caught in a blue bubble after a few jumps. And discover I forgot to put an Microwarp drive on the ship. So I head back towards a station (the one in C-J) and get myself a MWD.<br /><br />Then from there I again head towards the first system in The Spire, but instead of travelling through our own space I have to visit Red Alliance. Nothing in particular happened, apart from finding two Dominition spawn camping gates ... how good a spawn they are in Drone country I have no idea, and I don't have a ship to take them on anyway. I'd leave my for the carebears instead.<br /><br />I'll venture further out in next stage.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-78077487382356893052010-05-27T11:24:00.000-07:002010-05-27T11:47:17.665-07:00More actionAs usual these days, time have been lacking. But the action is here in Insmother if you know where to look and dare to participate.<br /><br />The other day HTA decided to take down a hostile POS in their space. They had eliminated a hostile TCU a week or so earlier but the POS they had managed to defend (if it was Solar Fleet or Red Alliance I don't remember). We managed to assemble a group of caps and a largish support fleet and headed off. We waited on a gate for a few minutes while listening to intel of the approaching fleet. And warped in they did, together with a main group of somewhere between 10-15 super caps. At one time there was a total of 250+ reds in system, and our FCs went down pretty fast as the super caps started making themselves felt and anhilating our caps.<br /><br />It was a horrible rout. And I lost yet another ship, my BS this time. Atlas turned up a bit later and help getting the reds out. We managed to get a revenge fleet going where I got in on a small revenge kill - through my benefactor.<br /><br />Today, tho - we've been seen a Solar fleet guy flying around our home systems. when he left I went shopping in C-J, hearing that the Solar guy is in the adjectant system. So I say I'm leaving C-J for 88a and ... there he is - on the gate, in a Merlin. I tell the people on our home channel this and leave him for a while to let the guys get there. When my invisibility timer reaches 0 I decide to engage - approach, mwd, scram, shoot ....<br />My Wolf is making good progress through the shields when Michelle in a Vaga reaches the gate. The Merlin is dead, but he gets off with his pod anyway...<br /><br />Still a nice difference from losing all sorts of ships out here in null.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471120287261223868.post-80212373760921259472010-05-04T11:19:00.000-07:002010-05-04T11:26:40.271-07:00another kill =)The first in ages. A mighty shuttle, a first red kill. I will not go into details on the thing as it was not particularly honorable - lol. More like a sever parking ticket. Maybe that'll teach him not to park whereever he wants, especially not in our systems. But prolly not.<br /><br />There has been rumours of war and invasion of our home. And after a day of increasingly frequent fleets roaming around, making my head spin, and a day full of reported blackops around the major centers out here (and we live only 3 jumps off from 2 of them) we saw another wave of blobs forming up from Red Alliance and Solar fleet. Fuckturds even bubbled on of the stations. Then we saw an alliance mail about a diplomatic solution to the situation - we'll see what happens in the near future.<br /><br />Back to ratting and getting my ships out then.Chiana Morohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705056768571986550noreply@blogger.com0
