Hand me that batphone!

Earlier this week, Adamas Anima was wardec'd by a corp with only one person in it. He was a 2003 player, and we assumed he'd simply chosen to attack us because we looked like easy targets (we mine fairly often to supplement our income. May aswell take advantage of the mineral spike). No doubt he'd seen several of our members out in asteroid belts a few days running, and assumed he could murder a few dumb carebears.

One of our larger mining ops

Our CEO, Myopic Thyne, was having none of this. Here's an extract from our corp mail regarding the (then incoming) wardec.

There is no honor in a 1v1, get that out of your head, the only thing that matters is his destruction and humiliation. Do not feed him any kills, this means do not fly any sort of untanked, non-combat ship without some sort of scout ahead of you, and try to avoid missioning alone. If you must mission alone keep an eye on Local and dock if you see him.  Remember, do not give him fair fights; crush him.


Suffice to say, we were not going to take this wardec lying down. Awesome!

Within an hour of the wardec going live, we'd also called in three of our blues to help kick the crap out of this guy, and before the first day was up, our scouts had found him, and we were camping him in a station in Bashyam. I was in a Myrmidon (never really flown it before), and we had a mixed group of corpies and blues. Final ship count was something like my Myrm, a Drake, Loki, Manticore, and a Vexor. We started smacking it up a little in Local:


Sarayu Wisdom > Come out and play, this is lame
Seraph Minayin > I love how he's willing to attack defenceless miners but runs scared when we bring some combat ships
Sarayu Wisdom > Typical noob who thinks he knows how to PvP

Yeah I know, our scathing insults probably had him quaking in his pod.

It didn't really matter because he totally ignored us for about half an hour, so we entertained ourselves by bumping random haulers that undocked, and doing unspeakable things to the deceased...


Seraph Minayin > DROL I WANTED THE CORPSE
Seraph Minayin > :(
Drol Tack drops the corpse in a can next to me
Seraph Minayin > Corpse Female \o/
Myopic Thyne > Now I know why you wanted the corpse.
Myopic Thyne > -.-
Seraph Minayin > lolol



After some more messing around, I docked up to check if he actually was still in this station. Within seconds of me docking, I saw his name disappear from the "Guests" panel of the station services tab.

"Damn it he logged" I thought. Then a quick glance at Local showed he was still online. Comms suddenly lit up with:

"LOL he's undocked?!"
"What's he flying?"
"Uh oh, Damnation"
"Oh whatever, start shooting"

I would actually like to fly this someday

Everybody camping on the undock locked him up and opened fire. I undocked as fast as I could and joined in. The Damnation was webbed, scrammed, painted and then assaulted by drones, projectiles, missiles and torpedos. Even so, we were shocked with how fast he started going down. His shields were vaporized within seconds and we were cutting through his armour at an alarming rate for a Command Ship. His armour was at 80% within only 5-10 seconds, and we were watching with slack jaws, hoping that he might be dumb enough to aggro us in such a vulnerable position. No such luck.

He docked sharpish.

Lots of sad noises on comms.

He then undocked again, this time in a shuttle, and warped off to Chamemi (which is a LowSec system) before we could catch him. We followed him as he jumped through, then lost him on the other side. We bump each other on the gate while wondering what to do. One of our blues notices there's only one station in system and warps to it.  He finds our wartarget sitting on the undock. In an Archon.

Ah.

This feels a bit out of our league, but whatever. We quickly cobble together a plan to damp his targeting range down as we warp to the station, and one of our corpmates (Mr Estrawdin) comes running with a Keres stuffed full of damps. While we wait for our EWAR, the Archon randomly aggros against us, starting with me, before switching to Wisdom in the Drake and then rotating around as we dock up to avoid getting melted by fighters.

After a few minutes of this, Estradwin arrives and starts damping the carrier's ass off. We start trying to work out where the Archon's targeting range ends, when suddenly Estrawdin gets aggroed by the carrier and is blown to pieces by drones and fighters. Damn it.

We begin hashing out another plan when a Deimos undocks. We all eye it warily, guessing he's buddies with our wartarget. The Deimos lights a cyno. Lots of "Uh oh" on comms. We assume that our wartarget has called in some friends to help ROFLSTOMP us, but we stick around anyway, wanting to see what comes through.

There's a massive cyno flare and a Nyx Supercarrier jumps in.

Two more huge cyno flares reveal another Nyx followed by an Archon.

Comms go mental and we're ordered to dock the f*** up.

Everything goes quite for a second or two. Then Wisdom mentions it looked like the supers were engaging the WT's Archon.

Silence.

Then realisation strikes: "WELL SHIT, CAN WE GET ON THE KILLMAIL?!"

PL to the rescue!

Everybody spams undock, but the Archon is already long dead judging by the huge wreck just chilling outside and the "gf gf" in Local. The Deimos had already looted the wreck, so we docked up again and waited for the nasty Supercarriers to jump back out or log off. While they might have murdered the Archon for us, that doesn't mean we're friends ;)

We check the Nyx pilots, and find out they're from Pandemic Legion. Lots of lols are had, and we congratulate them in Local.


Seraph Minayin > holy crap
D ROYAL > sneaky                             <- Wartarget seems to have assumed we batphoned PL
Seraph Minayin > don't look at us
Seraph Minayin > not our supers
Twisted Girl > :P
Twisted Girl > I just happened to be in system               <- Nyx pilot iirc
Sarayu Wisdom > :D
Seraph Minayin > cheers for murdering the archon though
Seraph Minayin > we loled
Sarayu Wisdom > ya


So anyway, we're all sitting in the station, a little put out that we couldn't get on the mail like big whores. Then fleet chat flashes:

Myopic Thyne > Estrawdin!
Myopic Thyne > You damped him right?!
Myopic Thyne > Before you died?
Seraph Minayin > HOLY FUCK
Sarayu Wisdom > If Estra didnt dock before he died...
Myopic Thyne > PLEASE tell me you were damping him before?
Mr Estrawdin > Yeah?

We switch to Local.

EVE System > Channel changed to Local : Chamemi
Seraph Minayin > POST THE MAIL
Seraph Minayin > please?
Sarayu Wisdom > we wanna see the mail
Sarayu Wisdom > I'll pay ya 50 mil to link us the km
Seraph Minayin > o.O
D ROYAL > ;-)
Aloda > are you guys going trick or treating??!!!...
Elazord85 > something like that                          (One of the Nyx Pilots)
Seraph Minayin > so how about that killmail? :P
Orii Saissore > http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13589689 
Jstar999 > pay up
Seraph Minayin > DUDE
Seraph Minayin > thats totally worth it
Mr Estrawdin > sweet!
Seraph Minayin > Adamas on a carrier killmail \o/
Mr Estrawdin > as a pod but still there lol

Totally worth it.

So we got two of our pilots on the mail, which has sent our ISK efficiency through the roof for this month. Suffice to say, it was an interesting evening.

Also one of our blues made me laugh with this comment:


drol tack > well, it is nice to see they hotdropped something bigger than a frigate with their supers...


And of course, within an hour we received a message from CONCORD.
