Tuskers Emblem

I spent some time today making Tusker emblems while bored at work. They may become full-on patches someday. Tell me what you think, constructive criticism is appreciated.

Version 2

TRI-FRIGATE TEAM TOURNAMENT

DETAILS:

Location: Hevrice
Date: 6th November
Time: 19:00 Eve Time
Ships: Tech 1 Frigates

DESCRIPTION:

This will be a team single-elimination tournament. Each match will consist of two teams of 3 frigates. Last man standing claims victory for their team. The winning team gets to loot the losing team's wrecks.

TEAMS:

TEAM ENTRY FEE -> 30 million PER TEAM sent to Bourreau
Each team is responsible for submitting a team name with their application fee.
You will need 3 replacement ship/fittings for each team member. Each one must be identical to your initial loadout. Failure to bring replacement fittings could impact your match.

RULES:
Tech 1 frigate hulls only

EDIT: Teams are restricted to 1 of any given frigate in their setup, ie: only 1 rifter per team, 1 tristan, etc.

No faction or navy frigates allowed

NO FACTION OR DEADSPACE MODS ALLOWED.

Meta 0 to Meta 5 modules are allowed to be fitted to your Frigate. Typically, Meta 5 modules are T2 versions so T2 guns etc. are allowed.

No Ecm modules or ecm drones allowed (other forms of ewar are acceptable)

No cloaking devices allowed

You must remain within 100km of the stationary referee otherwise you will be disqualified. If a team member warps off they are considered out of the match and may not return.

Podding someone is not allowed.

If the match takes longer than 10 minutes the arena size will shrink by 20km for every minute beyond the 10th. If there is no clear winner by the 14th minute then both teams will be knocked out.

PRIZES: (currently)
1st Place: Each team member will receive a pirate frigate of their choice (Daredevil, Cruor, Dramiel, Succubus or Worm).

2nd Place: Each team member will receive a navy frigate of their choice (Firetail, Slicer, Comet, Hookbill).

3rd & 4th Place: Each team member will receive a standard t1 frigate of their choice and salvage rights to the field after the tournament.

Feel free to contact me to discuss donations or secret prizes.

P.S. Apologies to Suleiman for plagiarizing his excellent tournament post format.

Muad' Dib > 19:05:20 Combat Changye (720mm Prototype I Siege Cannon) hits you for 1507 damage ... shitty skills
Muad' Dib > i can downgrae but it would either be a cakewalk for you or for me

Private Convo
Bourreau > o/
Muad' Dib > o/
Muad' Dib > all i got is a dd and a firetail
Bourreau > scary
Muad' Dib > tbh, that small repp jag of yours might have a shot vs my sabre
Bourreau > its not a small rep jag
Bourreau > and I doubt it
Muad' Dib > almost died to one a few days ago
Muad' Dib > nanojag with 280's and td
Bourreau > if I refit to kill the sabre I might have a chance
Bourreau > right now I am setup to kill af's
Muad' Dib > i'm off anyway from hedal, these no skill faggots piss me off
Muad' Dib > i might just come to run missions here just to piss them off
Bourreau > haha
Bourreau > you should
Bourreau > they are pretty lame
Muad' Dib > don't tempt me
Bourreau > if you find yourself around hevrice drop me a line
Muad' Dib > unprobable t3 as mission runner with loki boosting for low skig
Muad' Dib > *sig

Bourreau > I am familiar with those types, very annoying
Muad' Dib > and maybe smack them for a bit for having no skills
Muad' Dib > they got fernando
Muad' Dib > i love when faggots kill faggots
Bourreau > haha
Muad' Dib > http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=7520468
Bourreau > I wish I could have caught him
Muad' Dib > check out what fit he was running
Muad' Dib > i think one might have killed my dd
Bourreau > uber tanked dram
Bourreau > :\
Muad' Dib > you can get 5k shields on it with t2 extender rigs
Bourreau > he should have used resists tbh
Muad' Dib > depends
Muad' Dib > for this plex, i don't think
Bourreau > well he has none with that setup
Bourreau > EM hole is massive
Muad' Dib > so ?
Bourreau > so they use em, he dies
Muad' Dib > they use em he dies anyway
Muad' Dib > it's not a jag
Bourreau > eh, I suppose
Bourreau > I like to give myself the advantage
Bourreau > people know dramiels shield tank
Bourreau > for the most part
Muad' Dib > dramiel with armor tank is almost as good as sader with ab at killing other inties
Bourreau > I have tried both
Muad' Dib > tbh, i would have taken 1-2 of thei dramiels on
Muad' Dib > of those guys in hedal
Bourreau > heh
Bourreau > I have lost a sabre that way
Bourreau > killed one dram, died to the second
Muad' Dib > i saw

Muad' Dib > they use gank drams with 250 dps
Bourreau > indeedy
Bourreau > his was shield booster
Bourreau > they used to use MSE + web but have been doing it less
Muad' Dib > yeah, less survivability
Bourreau > those guys are just as bad though
Muad' Dib > and you can perma ab + boost
Bourreau > they always bring in backup
Muad' Dib > those plexes are their isk tbh
Bourreau > yea, with the gistii one you can
Muad' Dib > and the dram is so op that you can't wretle them for them anymore
Bourreau > I think a jag vs dram could be fair
Bourreau > dram pilot has to mess up though
Muad' Dib > i'd fight a dram in a jag
Muad' Dib > well times ab cycle can put you on top of him
Muad' Dib > *timed
Bourreau > in plexes the dram wants to be close anyway
Bourreau > have yet to run into a kiter
Muad' Dib > he stays close because he relies on speed to gtfo if he doesn't like it
Bourreau > yea, so you win by capping him out
Bourreau > cause one web is not enough
Muad' Dib > depends
Muad' Dib > preoverloaded ab also wrks
Muad' Dib > een if he has superior speed - and insane agility, he needs time to get to range
Muad' Dib > by that time, his armor and structure are long gone
Bourreau > so you would use a web jag?
Muad' Dib > i'm doing af 5 right now :)
Muad' Dib > webb jag with extender rigs
Muad' Dib > and snakes
Bourreau > oh, I got something you might like
Muad' Dib > :P

Muad' Dib > instalock dd on g8
Bourreau > rgr
Muad' Dib > dude, if i ever got on tusker vent, i'd puke all over
Muad' Dib > no offense to you, but i think your corp is full of faggots
Bourreau > i don't agree with you
Bourreau > but we have a new member I don't care for
Muad' Dib > i tried engaging your corp and i gotblobbed to shit by kitsune's, ecm drones comets and other shit
Muad' Dib > and this was half a yr ago
Bourreau > eh
Bourreau > it happens
Muad' Dib > dude .... ecm drones and kitsunes
Muad' Dib > i've only seen veto and the russians use more ecm
Bourreau > I really don't know what to say, don't think I was there for that
Muad' Dib > and it was only marginally
Muad' Dib > i think i have just 1 loss to you guys
Bourreau > I won't make apologies for things I didn't do either
Bourreau > also, if you want a fair fight from tuskers just go to hevrice and ask for a 1v1
Muad' Dib > http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=6510334 - this was kinda off a ffa
Bourreau > someone will oblige you
Muad' Dib > hevrice is with rancer on my avoid :)
Bourreau > well, we have a code of conduct
Muad' Dib > 2 losses to you guys ... but they were ok
Muad' Dib > one was to steven
Bourreau > if someone dishonors a 1v1 they are kicked
Muad' Dib > there are many ways to make sure you win a 1;1 and still not dishonour it :0
Bourreau > hows that?
Muad' Dib > neutral rr, t3 boosting
Bourreau > yea, none of that shit
Muad' Dib > it was 5 months ago
Bourreau > def no rr or ecm, donno if someone would try bonus's
Muad' Dib > http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=6038927
Bourreau > that would be harder to check
Muad' Dib > that was th 2nd or 3rd fight vs you that day
Muad' Dib > and you had like 5-6 on grid
Muad' Dib > i was jammed almost the whole time by the comet and the enyo
Bourreau > ah, this is the one you were talking about
Muad' Dib > after that i emoed a bit and put hevrice on avoid
Muad' Dib > yeah, it was a fw plex
Muad' Dib > enyo lived with a sliver of structure
Bourreau > well, if you want a 1v1 just ask them next time
Muad' Dib > no
Bourreau > if they say no then leave
Muad' Dib > nobody is going to 1;1 a nano-rupture
Muad' Dib > and i didn't want a 1;1, i wanted a gf
Bourreau > they might in their own :P
Muad' Dib > not being jammed by ecm drones and kitsunes
Bourreau > I don't know what to tell you man, raw deal
Muad' Dib > it happens
Muad' Dib > it wasn't just that
Muad' Dib > i was at that time active aroudn oms
Muad' Dib > i did meet steven case and lost a fight with him just because i was a nub
Muad' Dib > let me try to explain otherwise
Muad' Dib > as you cans ee from rmage's stats, i don't care about losses, i want to have a blood pumping good fight
Muad' Dib > but when you sit there being plinked away by frigs who wouldn't come closer unless you were jammed, waiting minutes to die, you are not having gf
Muad' Dib > and i had the sme feeling after trying to setup a fight for 1h, as i have when i engage russian corps in gallente low-sec
Muad' Dib > if your familiar with the ones in fw .... and how they work with half of their ships falcons
Bourreau > lol
Bourreau > yes
Muad' Dib > i'm sure that if i asked for a 1;1, it would end the same
Muad' Dib > of-c it would be honored, to the letter
Muad' Dib > but, i'm also sure that they would setup for my ship
Bourreau > so you would do the same
Bourreau > right?
Muad' Dib > i don't change setups depending on opponent, and ppl who do that ... i don't fight again :)
Muad' Dib > i don't do that
Muad' Dib > i go with multipurpose fits
Bourreau > well if you're going to fight a 1v1...
Muad' Dib > liek this sabre
Muad' Dib > webb on it normally
Muad' Dib > doesn't have a point
Muad' Dib > and i'm not going to change that
Muad' Dib > i do have a point with me, but i won't take down a mse fo rit
Bourreau > so double mse?
Muad' Dib > yeah
Bourreau > going for the dd style then
Muad' Dib > it's an old fit, 3yrs old now
Bourreau > well man I think you're missing out
Bourreau > a good 1v1 is the best for adrenaline imo
Muad' Dib > i do have 1;1's
Bourreau > especially in the same ship as your opponent
Muad' Dib > but i do impromtu 1;1s
Bourreau > :P
Muad' Dib > so far i've never had a 1;1 dishonored and i wouldn't be surprised if the nr was over 50
Bourreau > I take it you mean an agreed upon one?
Muad' Dib > the last time i was plinked away like this - a drake, i was caught by russians with 1 falcon, 1 rupture and 1 arty-muninn at 100
Muad' Dib > i selfdestructed
Muad' Dib > 3min after they caught me i was still in 60% shields, and i had the normal, 2 lse, 2 invul, 3 extender
Bourreau > well I hate to advocate this but why wouldn't they use their superior numbers?
Muad' Dib > i mean, i challenge you to a 1;1 in a certain ship class, .... not arranged ahead of time
Muad' Dib > they can use them
Muad' Dib > but i'll also use my selfdestruct button
Muad' Dib > i won't stay there for 10min incapable of doing anything for their lolz
Bourreau > thats what its there for
Bourreau > and for capitals to grief people
Muad' Dib > russians are roamers, outside of oto off-c ... so i only blacklist that system, but i also blacklist for myself hevrice
Bourreau > I think you had a bad experience tbh
Muad' Dib > and before you point out how i was for 2yrs in bydi with same tactics ... i only gatecamped for 3d
Muad' Dib > than i emoraged
Muad' Dib > i refused to log in for 2 weeks :P
Bourreau > my point is simply that tuskers are pretty chill, they would fight fair if you ask them for it
Bourreau > if you just show up they will do whatever
Muad' Dib > don't tuskers also have a mentality of losing little ?
Bourreau > depends
Muad' Dib > yes, they do :)
Bourreau > in general we fly cheap
Bourreau > but every individual is different
Bourreau > anyway, I will stop defending the tuskers
Muad' Dib > is proxyyy still active ?
Bourreau > he moved corps
Bourreau > very recently
Muad' Dib > so why don't you guys move out of hevrice ?
Bourreau > I think hes active again now
Muad' Dib > ahh, itsme has retured
Muad' Dib > i met this dude around OMS
Muad' Dib > very chill dude
Bourreau > hahaha yea hes a good guy
Muad' Dib > we suicided 2 t1 cruises to rape a vaga from an ADHD gang
Muad' Dib > to make sure he died i brought a booster over
Muad' Dib > 15kms cram :P
Bourreau > nice
Muad' Dib > also, pls don't think that i believe only tuskers guys tactics are faggy :)
Muad' Dib > i have the same opinion about genos .... and many other corps ... in fact if it's not a 1man corp - like mine,
Bourreau > I am familiar with the complaint, I deal with gangs/blobs too
Bourreau > it sucks
Bourreau > usually I just try somewhere else
Muad' Dib > i honestly don't understand what's so fun killing a bs with 6-7 frigs jammed to hell by ecm drones
Bourreau > I can tell you from experience that ecm drones aren't always used
Bourreau > with ecm there is almost no challenge
Muad' Dib > good kb stats .... :(
Bourreau > killing a bs with frigs WITHOUT ecm drones is pretty sweet
Muad' Dib > it can still be easy
Muad' Dib > dram +bombers
Bourreau > yea thats true
Bourreau > but usually we use rifters and such
Bourreau > or jags :D
Muad' Dib > with no td's i bet
Bourreau > haha, sometimes with tds
Muad' Dib > all the times :)
Bourreau > its not like we have fitting police
Muad' Dib > td's are becoming very popular
Bourreau > people use what they want
Bourreau > I like td's actually, I will admit it
Muad' Dib > http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=5535457
Muad' Dib > no rr
Muad' Dib > 1 dcu as tank
Bourreau > nice kill
Bourreau > bad fit
Muad' Dib > i had to work for that
Muad' Dib > shot their station services for a few day
Muad' Dib > didn't think he was badly fitted, i just saw sebo, and i wanted to podjump back home
Muad' Dib > was curious to see how low i got him :P
Bourreau > the kills you work for are the best

EVE System > Channel MOTD: Hello, one or more members of The Tuskers are prepared to destroy your vessel. Should you wish to pay a ransom to save your ship, please do the following immediately:

1. Turn off all modules (including guns, missile launchers, webbers, scrams, etc.) and recall all drones. Stop your ship.

2. From the time a ransom amount appears below, you will have 30 seconds to pay the amount specified. Right-click the picture of the pirate stating our demands and select "give money" to do this.

If you do not comply immediately, we will re-open fire on your vessel. If we get nervous for any reason we will re-open fire on your vessel.

The Evidence

Spectre's "Quitting" Eve Again

Unsettling news of late; though perhaps not unexpected. Considering his prolonged absence from the game this announcement makes perfect sense. I can completely understand getting tired of Eve from time to time and there are far too many games to stay with one forever. Lets hope he tires of his other electronic strumpets soon.

Have a nice break Spec. It was nice to meet you.

The Vigil: Deadly Space Utensil

Staring down the barrel of my rusty spork of doom at 3 kilometers a second must be a terrifying experience for your average noob in a moa.

Hardly noticing the red name pop up on his overview our noob becomes alarmed when the evil pirate begins firing on him. At this point the hunt is over and the gank squad drops in to finish the job.

And with that a man is redeemed for his follies.

Meat Gangbang Extravaganza

The gimmick only lasted a few months before he split from Terri after Terri saw Meat kissing Marianna, Terri's nemesis, on the Titantron. This led to her and Chaz attacking Meat. In the next couple of weeks Meat reverted to using his real name.
He had a brief feud early fall of 1999. That is how Angle defeated Stasiak in his in-ring debut.

Nothing Lasts Forever

Luck is a fickle mistress. Despite all the precautions I mentioned in my last post I knew my luck would run out eventually. When I wrote that post I had hoped it would be later rather than sooner but things don't always turn out as one hopes. Earlier this evening (or morning depending where you live) my beloved jag was atomized by a rather tricky hurricane. It was pretty clear he was waiting for just such an occasion. He was hanging around some belts, clearly enticing the arrayed fleet to come and get him.

Unfortunately I offered to make the tackle, playing right into his hands. His 'cane fit neuted and webbed me, which is pretty normal, to the extent that I could not gain range by the time I was completely capped. Struggling to gain transversal I popped just as the cavalry arrived.

Farewell noble beast, I will never forget you.

Lucky Bastard

I just knocked on wood, picked a four leaf clover and killed a rabbit for its foot. Been a hell of a ride and its only getting better.

Old man star can be a lot of fun. There are plenty of ships around to shoot at and be shot by and of course the inevitable question of who's baiting whom. After some initial successes it was put forth that we try oms with our frigate heavy gang. What the hell, I thought. Why not? I can't fly the same ship forever.

The gang found a few ships initially. Surprisingly there were two dramiels. We happened upon them several times but couldn't engage them as their pilots skillfully kept more than 20km away and at extreme speed.

There were a few ganks as well, nothing really worth mentioning. Someone spotted a ship inside the faction war mission that had sprung up. After an initial failed tackle we set a bait at the complex.

As anyone knows once you set a bait in old man star you can expect something to come and bite. In this case the something came in the form of a hurricane and vagabond. This combination proved lethal to our frigates and eventually the bait itself, which happened to be the largest ship we had brought.

Somehow I managed to burn out to 20km from the cane and vaga with my afterburner and warp out with around 1/4 shield remaining. My guess is they were preoccupied eating the bait.
Dodged that bullet.

Then today whilst scouting out some lowsec systems I had an unfortunate run in with a crow at a gate camp. He pointed me before I could warp and I was forced to burn back to the gate and escape the massive gank squad in structure.

Rarrrr!

'A Whaling We Shall Go'

I find it difficult to fully appreciate the irony of naming an orca "Free Willie". What a terrible movie. Future generations will trace the decline of western civilization to it's release. It should come as no surprise that only a truly deranged or idiotic individual would name his ship such.

However, it takes a truly special mind to blindly fly that same orca through lowsec. Looking back its hard for me to say whether our victim was simply mind-bending-ly daft or harbored more bizarre motivations. I believe its safe to say we did as he asked and freed willie from its mortal coil.

Glory goes to Egret for the smack down.
