O, joyous period of the year is approaching. Not. Rather than merriment and hostilities, it's frell I know what and hostilities.
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...
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.
Then we had a rumour that RAGE changed their minds and we are not to be chucked out after all. Maybe.
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.
Null politics at their muddiest.
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.
Come Christmas Eve we know, maybe. I'll know Christmas Day. I might be surrounded in red space when I sign on next =)

A new start
First things first.
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.
DRK ended up with a two systems in Cloud Ring, a gazillion POSes that needed constant feeding and good ratting. Also, lots of pew.
Unfortunately most of it were in times, this being was asleep.
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 ...
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.
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...

War endless war
Me 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.
And the corp is providing all the CTA ships as a fish thingy I think. I even called one of my CTA ships "Pressy".
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.
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.

Back from holiday
A long one. And the corp moved, and changed alliance. In the nick of time apparently.
Our old area in Insmother is in the hands of Red Alliance nowadays.
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.
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.
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.
Got 8 kills off of that.
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.
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.

The Spire II
Disappointment.
Nothing to pew but faction drones, red blobs or docked cravens.
Rumour has it that red is coming to me instead. We'll see what happens first, there will be another attempt in a bit.

The Spire I
I heard about some new ideas in one of our channels so I thought I'd go out and do a bit of naughtiness before I leave on holiday. 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.
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.
I'll venture further out in next stage.

More action
As usual these days, time have been lacking. But the action is here in Insmother if you know where to look and dare to participate.
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.
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.
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 ....
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...
Still a nice difference from losing all sorts of ships out here in null.
