Drunk Roam!

Yes, the Bastards are organizing a drunk roam. You are all invited of course, as long as your liver and sec status can handle it!

Date is: 3rd February!

Some of the fun rules:


1. Join the in-game channel 'INDEPENDENCE' for details and fleet pick up and vent info on the day.

2. Any T1 frigate/cruiser fitted out with whatever you want.

3. Yes, fit a rupture with lasers if you want.

4. Or a thorax with arties and missiles.

5. Or a rifter with a cruiser sized weapon.

6. Or bring a Celestis.

7. Mix your weapon systems. Why? because we can and that's how we roll.

8. Points required of course, we can't have people running away.

.
.
.
12. If you decide to fit a stab (why not?) then you have to say 'STABBED!' in local, take a shot of alcohol and then RUN like the wuss you are when you get tackled. If you do this and get smack - everyone else will need to take a shot on your behalf.

Read more about it here!

ReBeL hopes to see you all there!

A worth-reading article!

By request of His ReBeLLious Himself, a personal message to all of you:

"Dear Past, Current or Future FC,

I have come across this lovely article from Penelope Star (on a roam with the Bastards.) of the Eve Tribune and would like to share it with you as I feel that is is a good guide/addition to general fleet commanding knowledge!

A good explanation from two very good FCes, one of which happens to be the Big Boss of the notorious Bastards.

Read it and keep what you think is best for your fleet commanding!

Regards,

ReBeLSKuLL"

Rifters, Ops, The Bastards and a happy New Year!

Yarr t' you all mateys!
ReBeL has been flying not quite often but nevertheless he has been out there supporting the well known name of the Bastards. alliance.
There hasn't been any story if important significance, although ReB has been on a a couple of 1 vs 1s (including an ex-Bastard, thank you flash for the payout!) on his notorious Rifter, to keep on shape. There has also been a kill of a very new pilot who was trying his luck on Evati belts, where ReBeL took the only frigate size hull in his hangar, the even-more-awesome-looking-after-cubicle, firetail, which was also fairly poor fitted. 125's and double gyros did their job perfectly. (link will follow, KB is under maintenance atm).

Yarrsteday he encountered a pilot named vlewandoski after an invite on a Rifter 1 vs 1. The reason to mention especially this fight is that it was "one of the most excellent fights I have been in vs a Rifter" as ReBeLSKuLL comment.

ReBeL went to a safe spot and vlewandoski warped to him on 60. Both pilots started approaching each other and it was ON. ReBeL started to approach on an angle and closed orbit him on 500. Phased was loaded while neut and guns where pre-heated.

The target vessel was a classic and well respected armor fitted one, although it was Rocket fitted rather than NOS. "Usually pilots flyin' t' armor ones close orbit me in order for their NOS t' operate. I wasn't expectin' a Rocket fitted one t' be honest, with his web I could be badly kitted". And indeed that was his plan, having barrage loaded.

In the beginning of the fight, vlewa indeed came very close to "Exotic Lover",ReBeLs ship. Neut was doing  a great job while the auto-cannons and Gyro where hitting hard on the red-boxed Rifters sheild and armor. Wlevandoski realised this when his ship was around half armor while ReBeLs rifter was hitting low sheild, so he started to gain his distance.

"I noticed I was takin' a lot o' damage while he wasn't" ReBeL said, noticing that the targeted frigate was gaining its distance at around 5000-6000 meters. "I though I'd go t' Davy Jones' locker, so I aligned and got ready to warp out" while he was 9000 meters off.

But then something happen. ReBeL was at 25% structure. Vlewandoski got at 0%.

He then dropped fleet while "Exotic Lover" smartly warped out.

Good fight sire!

We would also like to thank one of his corp mateys, Jack, for accepting a wager against ReBeL, paying him 10 millions in the end!

In other news, "EMOTICON KING" himself (yes, that is ReBeLS Meatsheild title) has been participating in the alliances joint operations with Los Chupacabras, having loads of fun kicking the butt of anti-pirate organizations, claiming that they have secured metropolis. Even against his beloved EVE University. More on this roams on flashfresh's awesome blog!  "I have t' admit, those Italian scum can sure fly"!

Lastly, you should all be pleased to know that the Bastards. are recruiting, so maybe its time for you all to become flashy and live New Eden as it should be lived!

Happy new year to you all, may 2012 bring you enough RL and spaceship Iskies, so we, The Bastards, can loot and ransom it!

"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but  going on, with all the wisdom and experience can instill in us. " by Hartley Coleridge

Meatshield cruising!

Jaguar and Enyo, ReBeL and Delts! Off they went in their cool frigs to chase stuff in lowsec, to pillage, loot and ransom.

So after avoiding a couple of fleets with shinnies, they founded a haulers wreck that was siting 30 km of gate.

"Aarrr, go and check that wreck" delts said, "Aye aye me harty" ReB said and burned towards it.

"58 k of antibiotics." ReBeL said.  "Thats around 19 mill" Deltsbeta replied "And there is a buy order in the system as well!" ReB cheered. He orbited the wreck and collected the frozen corpse while corpie bought a badger 2 jumps out and brough it back to sell the booty!

ISK was split and roam continued. A couple of jumps and they located a MOA and a Rifter, not flying together. Both started D-scaning, MOA landed 40 km from ReBeL's Jag and both started burning towards each other. Delts warped in while ReBeL got scram and orbited at 5000 m in order to avoid possible blasters. Enyo was primaried (got low in structure at some point) but the overheated armor repair 2 did its job wonderfully. MOAs' drones where dying, even though the target scooped them a couple of times, and he wasn't going anywhere. "I'll orbit him at 500 m now" ReBeL said and with his overheated 150s' and the support of a gyro he started pounding the MOAs' shields (Delts had managed to successfully burn his guns and had his hobgoblins as DPS only).  Its obvious that "pwetty" ReB should had looked at the MOAs' guns much much earlier, but at the heat of the moment he didn't think of it.

Anyhow, the bastards manage to successfully chew up his shields and soon after that he went t' Davy Jones' locker! Capsule was scrammed and as it's mentioned on the previous thread, only way to get the point off you is to pay, either with iskies or with your POD! Corpse was added to the cargo-hold for the SKuLL collection.

Our duo kept going until another Bastard joined, Grin on a sexy looking merlin!

System after system, they got to Lamaa where a Dramiel was scanned on a Plex. The Meatshield Bastards activated the gate, ReBeL got all the rat aggro so he burned the opposite way. FC decided that they should warp out, Dram pilot was saying nay nay words on local so the trio decided to show him that they are the true bastards, not him! So they warped back at gate.

But avast! A ruppy lands on the acceleration gate, ReB gets point, close orbit and starts to pew pew, same did the fleet-mates. Enyo was primaried again. "All DPS on drones" was allover coms. Drones where going down, but so did the Enyo. ReBeL keep shooting at the drones. Merlin exploded.

1 Drone left.  The Ruppy at 50% armor. ReBeLS Jag almost full.

"Why the hell I am not doing any damage on the drone" "pwetty" said. "F*ck the drone". OVEERRHEEEATTTED DPS ON RUPPY. 

Ruppy started neuting the bastards Jag. "One circle of point, orbit 500. DCU off" was the implants order (Although taking the DCU off could have been a bad idea considering that it uses just 1 CPU), "don't let him get at range". ReBeL started taking some damage, he was orbiting between 2500 m and 3300, due to the cap being out.

Ruppy at 10. ReBeL was now at 40% sheilds.

"I'll go after the Hobgoblin" ReBeL thought, "get it out of the picture". But It went all wrong for him. A miss-click, one scram circle at the hobgoblin, Ruppy got at range and the mighty Jaguar gave ReBeL his insurance payout.

"[02:05:22] ReBeLSKuLL > lucky cunt gf" was posted on local. It was a good fight after all, and yet one more lesson for the "pwetty" ReBeL bastard! Cause whatever kills us in EVE, makes us stronger.


"Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate after all"


PS: All corpses mentioned above are safely on ReBeLSKuLLS items inventory!
PS2: Any input on my DCU (uses 1GJ) going off or not for cap and Scram (5GJ) is welcomed!

Haiku!

This last week has been great for ReBeL, having loads of fun with the Bastards, shooting and looting!

So, yarrsteday Reb and a corpie where drinking their grog in a Hadozeko belt, when a slasher landed.

ReBeLSKuLLS ruppy quickly warped in, got point and started shooting while Zach was on warp from the off-grid.

"whoa his going do- his dead" he said on vent and smartly held point on capsule. Invite to the ransom channel and click to see age.

"[ 2011.06.09 03:14:51 ] Anton Barksdale > this account is only 1 day old so i probably wont ransom :P"
Well everyone has to pay one way or another. Its POD or ransom and ransom it was! Nice idea Zach!

"Anton Barksdale > On the open seas I encountered a captain named rebelskull;

The two seconds of combat were never dull and ended when he destroyed my hull."
HARHARR!

YYAAAARRRRRRR!!!!

Well as you have noticed ReBeLions background has changed and thats only because ReBeL will be flying with The Bastards from now on!!

"Being a pirate is the best way to fly around. I can't see any reason not want to be flying with a couple of mateys and shoot stuff or get some iskies not to." ReBeL said on our exclusive interview. 

So now expect some cool PIRAT and ransom stories, he will be drinking RUM and hold the pirate banner as high as he can. 

"The down side of it was that I have to have this parrot in my POD all the time. He keeps repeating the low structure noise in every engagement." ReBeL said laughing -yet you could see his angriness in his eyes.
He had a last zip from his rum and stood up.
"So if you see me around, surrender the booty" ReB said and walked away towards his chambers..
