</div><div class="MsoNormal">So the moros pilot had stayed in the WH, waiting for an exit and lo and behold one appeared.</div><div class="MsoNormal">(Actually that’s a blatant lie he had to probe for it.)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I offered my services as cyno.. I mean how bad could it be?????</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Getting a cyno ship 77 jumps thru hostile space seemed well HARSH.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But I realised the WH also jumped to a C3 which had a static highec so probes were launched and the highsec entrance was found 18 jumps away in sinq liason.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">21 jumps later I am in fethabolis \o/</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For the purpose of this mission I decided my best chance was to fit a covert ops thus allowing me to travel between the cyno spots as safely as one can in nullsec. It was obviously a little more pricey than a frigate but for some stupid reason my brain wasn’t working and I assumed I was actually dropping a covert cyno and thus would only need 50 liquid ozone per cyno, thus this meant I could carry all the fuel I needed in one ship and the cloak seemed like a plan.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So the route to the first cyno system was completely empty upon arrival in the target system I was greeted immediately by the locals.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 19:57:44 ] EVE System > Channel changed to Q5KZ-W Local Channel</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 20:00:37 ] Tatomi > hi dude</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 20:00:55 ] Tatomi > what are y looking for?</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 20:01:46 ] Tan mie > came thru a wh ^^</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 20:02:00 ] Tan mie > just having a look, never been to nullsec :)</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 20:02:09 ] Tatomi > nice</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There were 5 people in local so it was decided if the cyno was to survive best drop it in an empty system so we didn’t draw any unnecessary attention.</div><div class="MsoNormal">I went back to the previous system waited a few moments found an empty moon to make it look like the cyno was at a pos and dropped the cyno.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Dread jumped in logged off all was good. Cyno went down I was still alive \o/</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I was also out of fuel because it wasn’t a covert cyno it was a normal cyno </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Not to worry only 17 jumps back to the WH fly thru to the c3, 4 jumps to Dodixie grab my fuel and maybe some cargo expanders, only needed enough for 2 cynos as I was sure every station in curse sold ozone and I knew it would be really cheap there as well, oh yes this is going to be great!!! Now with the 21 jumps to the next cyno system that means a quick trip of only 69 jumps ……*!%^#</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">WHY do I get myself into these situations?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I started the trip back to the WH thanking my foresight to bookmark the gates in them. Upon arrival in the UTDH-N I realised something.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Memories of “nope, not bookmarking that cause never want to see another wormhole again EVA” as I hit warp flashed thru my mind.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> In my haste and being so gloriously overjoyed to be free of Wormholes and back into normal space I had sped to the outgate without bookmarking the exit.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Luckily the prober was still in the wormhole and gallantly came to my rescue </div><div class="MsoNormal">…. so skip forwards about an hr well 1 hr 47 minutes to be precise (I checked the logs)</div><div class="MsoNormal">Empty system drop cyno number 2, dread jumps logs all is well, 5 minutes left on cyno local goes up by 1. I check out the pilot, a member of stain empire, I catch a glimpse of a raptor on scan.</div><div class="MsoNormal">I close my eyes and wait for imminent death, I then realise I can’t see my overview so I open them again and he jumps out!!!</div><div class="MsoNormal">4 minutes left on the cyno….</div><div class="MsoNormal">With just over 1 minute left of the cyno the raptor pilot re-enters system, he has brought 2 friends with him as obviously tales of my “hero hobgoblin of DOOMZ” has reached this part of the eve universe so he obviously needed much backup to kill my little helios. A tengu and a cynabal to be precise. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I tried to make friends with them</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">[ 2011.06.07 21:47:58 ] Tan mie > dont shoot blue alt</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But I think they got confused because they shot me anyway.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My helios hull put up a massive fight against the torrential onslaught from all three ships unfortunately my ship exploded too quickly and only the cynabel managed to get a killmail. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I got my pod out tho!!!<br />

<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Now only 17 more jumps to curse and well….. I was going to buy more fuel there anyway may as well grab a new ship whilst I am at it.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I could say the next 17 jumps were uneventful as I encountered no one on my journey there….. but there is nothing uneventful about being in a pod in nullsec never knowing what you are about to jump into. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Luckily I got to curse unhindered. I purchased a sturdy rifter, fuel and cyno all from the same system, the person selling the fuel obviously thought selling it in the same station as where the cyno generators were sold would just be way TOO obvious.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Soon™ Cyno number 3 was completed, also the dread pilot had managed to get his alt into GW to drop the next cyno so once cyno #3 was down I was free to go home.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Only 23 jumps in a rifter would be home in no time.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately a sabre pilot in 7Q-8Z2 had other plans for my rifter</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But my pod survived again \o/<br />

That’s a lot of combinations of people and places. Yet time and time again the butterfly effect seems to come into play. It would appear no matter where I go I always end up running into someone I know or ending up having to go to somewhere that has history for me. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have gotten about a fair bit of the eve universe now in my 3 and a half years of playing, admittedly the first 3 months don’t count as I didn’t venture out of Rens, and the next 3 was spent between Lustrevik and Eldulf. Wow was Atlar a scary place back in those days. (I was of course deluded; I used to fly Caldari back then FFS).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=291348"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Willem</span></a> one of my oldest eve wing mates had a birthday at the beginning of May so much alcohol was secured, and thus a debate about where to roam so we could die gloriously was discussed. I had previously been probing for Wormholes and had discovered one in <a href="http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Kenobanala"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Can I have a banana</span></a>. This led to Wicked creek and seemed a great place to jump through and roam back. This idea was inspired by a roam we had done a few days previously when we discovered a wormhole in Ennur which took us to Omist. We managed to roam from Omist to Atlar without losing a single ship grabbing a few kills on the way and having the <a href="http://ransm.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9609666"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">worst loot drop in history</span></a>. So we were psyched and spirits were good and flowing freely the gang quickly grew to a drunken rabble and off we set. Unfortunately the crafty Russians in wicked creek must had spied my alt earlier and thus found and collapsed the Wormhole (see point # 6) But we weren’t to be deterred, we would go pay them a visit anyways. Alas by the time we got there, there wasn’t anything to be seen, so we roamed till we found a fight perhaps a little further than we planned, but it was a <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=9640363"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">fun fight</span></a> anyway.

It hadn’t reached its lifespan so it had been collapsed, but by whom? A Russian buzzard had been spotted flitting around but what had he brought thru with him to make it collapse? This added an interesting element but the priority was to find the new entrance, all the while the Russian Buzzard was up to the same thing and we kept missing him as he too scuttled about.. A new C3 exit was found, the C3 had 3 more WH one to Geminate one to Curse and one to another C5.</div><div class="MsoNormal">It was decided to collapse this Asap and look for another. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Infact it got rather tedious so an epic game of eyespy ensued. We were all stumped by the one beginning with S and tbh not still convinced there are shadows in wormholes but I digress. Things got slightly more interesting/tedious depending upon your perspective when the pos owner undocked from his maintenance array a carrier which must have contained the whole of jita because as fast as we knocked a module out he would anchor and online another, neuts, guns, ecm more guns hardeners on and on and on.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">My EvE career started as a carebear, I quickly outgrew my first corp and started my own. Then soon decided to join an anti pirate <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alliance</st1:place></st1:city> and so we moved to <a href="http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Molden_Heath"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Molden Heath</span></a> and my pvp career was born. Eventually being Anti-pirate bored me due to the limits of being NRDS and so I moved to 0.0. Pos bashing, and 200 man lag fests didn’t really do it for me, I lasted 4 weeks and 2 of that was spent trying to get my assets back to empire. I moved back to Molden Heath and within 2 days was -10.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> One day <a href="http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Alex+Medvedov"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Alex Medvedov</span></a> The Jaguar God of Eve and I were flying in Half. I cannot properly remember what I was flying, most likely a Hurricane, and no prizes for guessing what Alex was flying. Wasn’t long before we had spotted a Myrmidon in a belt. We engaged. The Myrm was piloted by one <a href="http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Sard+Caid"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Sard Caid</span></a>. Long story short we couldn’t kill him and he was also unable to kill us, so we started chatting and thus my respect for this great pilot was born. He was funny, smart, obviously knew how to pvp and we parted ways on good terms. I encountered him many times over the following months and as time past we became friends and whilst I was in Snuff Box I would regularly Clone jump to Molden heath to Fly with him for some old School pvp action and a break from the blob fest that was living near Tama.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Soon I was spending more and more of my game time in Molden heath and I realised it was time to come home. I joined Sard’s corp RANSM and have been there ever since.</div><div class="MsoNormal">When I joined RANSM had 6 members today the member count stands at 30 The latest addition being none other than the jaguar god himself \o/.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So what follows are some brief or not so brief words from some of my fellow corp. members. I posed the questions and they were all fantastic to oblige me with their awesome replies. The questions, some serious some not so much, hopefully to afford you the reader some amusement.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

With the defacto leadership position, it falls to me to tend to the community, cater to its needs and keep everyone happy. Most of the time it's an enjoyable role that really adds to the experience; however other times I'd rather just shrink into the background to let others take over.

The corporation will continue to be a haven for those individuals who wish to grow themselves and others within the EVE community, without the chains of commitment other organizations tend to bind their members with. With more friends, our capabilities only grow, and so I don't see a limit to the expansion of our operations within Molden Heath and elsewhere.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">There isn't much of a difference for me, really. when i ran 520, i got used to doing things in a very unconventional manner. for instance, i was the fucking BOSS over there, but i wasn't the ceo. i couldn't declare wars, change the corp bio or my own title for much of the time, but everyone knew wtf was up regardless of the technicalities flying with Sard as a friend of RANSM was interesting as we tried the "friends but not blues" approach for a while. We’d land on the same gate and look at each other with pretention "oh he's not that fast" "coffee's in here, FALCON FAGGOT" etc... so we'd never shoot each other. it was a homoerotic love story about two corps destined to be together anyway in truth, we had manpower when Sard needed it so he put up with our shit to get better fights and better kills.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s pretty great. hmm, that's nebulous. I guess it's pretty laid back. Also ambiguous. Let me try again.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Our communist loot/ship system to keep our players in space and having fun is fucking awesome. It wouldn't be possible if we didn't have people in corp. that were fucking ridiculously rich that felt that the system benefitted their play style. Basically, the entire thing is about having fun and making shit blow up. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Sometimes our own but most times others. I think that sounds pretty much like a no-brainer to people who play other games, but to people who play eve; this is a unique gem of a corporation environment.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> I think that because we've all been SUPER SERIOUS about our pvp careers and stats it's led us to a place where we're more serious about having a good time than about WINNING all the time. I’m sure Charlie Sheen would have something to say about that, but where I am (and I presume most if not all the others are as well) it's fucking awesome.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I kind of hit on this in question 3. the function of the corp. is to have fun and for the most part, we're all pretty old friends who have been slathering each others' backs in baby oil... erm... watching each others' backs? Is that what i meant? i don't know anymore, but it feels great. Like a big family. A big incestuous family</div><div class="MsoNormal">The fact that we're spread throughout all the us/western eu tzs means that there's shit going on from the time I get home from work (around 11am cst) till i go to bed on my days off (around 1am cst). That’s pretty amazing for a corp. of our size.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Also there are no mandatory ops. I mean, they could be construed as mandatory because they're fucking awesome. No one wants to miss out on shit like the stomping we gave to dragoons the other night or the wensleyday night roams... but if you can't make it, the only shit you catch is for all the fun you missed.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I have visual on Aria now and I can confirm she is flying a fleet stabber.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We are now back in EOA and there appears to be a nasty gang on the Akkio gate Zealot heavy with guardian support.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> OMG the consensus appears to be unanimous, they are going in!!!!!!!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well this cannot end well for the gang, I can see them warping into range and out again are they going to make a break for it ?

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Looks like they are splitting up some are headed off as the EU TZ comes to an end the rest look as though they are headed back to Molden heath, and we have a <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=194724"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">newcomer</span></a> to the gang. The birthday girl is still alive in her vintage fleet stabber which I understand was a leaving present from an old Corp mate <a href="http://www.snuff-box.de/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=7356"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Oodin</span></a>. He certainly would be smiling if he was here tonight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Looks like they are flying back the lowsec route down into metropolis and oh an unlucky day for the <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9079980"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">hauler</span></a> and <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9080361"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">blackbird</span></a> as their paths cross.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">New destination has been set they are headed down to <a href="http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/E02-IK"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">EO2-IK </span></a>wonder what they are going to find there? Oh and it looks like <a href="http://evebroadside.blogspot.com/2010/11/welcome-home-2.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Sard Caid</span></a> and <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=99803"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Hurome</span></a> have now also joined the gang.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The route to great wildlands seems quiet but coms certainly aren’t as Aria seems amused but disgusted with <a href="http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Drake"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Shtang’s birthday offering</span></a>. Now in EO2 another ship <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9081740"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">intercepted</span></a> and soon Aria gets her chance to show exactly how much she likes <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9080906"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">Drakes</span></a>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The gang are planning to head back to Empire again but what’s this? An incursion has been spotted! this gang is no match for the Sansha, but wait... what is Aria doing? She is jumping after a Blackbird this can’t go well, as far as I know she doesn’t even have Sansha rats on her overview, in her current state this can’t end well.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I guess that was a comedic end to the vintage fleet stabber and Aria seems to be highly amused after overcoming her initial confusion as to how she could be loosing shields and pointed when nothing was showing on her overview. Oh well back to molden heath to reship and head out to <a href="http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Amamake"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">AMAMAKE</span></a>? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Aria can’t seriously be thinking of flying her hurricane thru highsec? Oh wait no Sard is telling her to eject Dian will fly her cane thru highsec and oh my a loki has just jumped into system will Aria board the jag in time? Or will the loki pod her? Wait what is she doing Aria is actually bumping the loki with her pod, this cannot be a deliberate act surely? Oh wait she is now in the jag and the loki has fled and it looks like Aria has decided to go and get coffee…….. LOTS of coffee.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">So recently I have tried making good against these allegations, and set out one night determined to return back not only with my ship in tact, but also <b><u>ALL</u></b> my drones. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Of cause we all know plans in EVE are horrendously overrated.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So there was myself in my shield rupture and 2 other intrepid daring dooers.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Migrond quickly deduced he was running a cosmic anomaly. Taking on a T3 cruiser with 2 frigs and a cruiser would be a challenge but not impossible and seemed like it could be great fun to try. There was a hurricane also on scan but it was not with the Loki and a quick scout of the few pilots in local it seemed unlikely they were together.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">We didn’t have to wait long.</div><div class="MsoNormal">I arrived and engaged ploughing quite nicely through the Loki pilot’s shields.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Then the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;"> </span><a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=640917"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">hurricane</span></span></a> arrived.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> I carefully adjusted my range sent my faithful drones after the cane so Miggy’s rifter which was quickly hitting structure could try and get out.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">He then turned his attention to me. I was at a range just outside of his point aligned to the sun, he started burning towards me from his speed it was apparent this was a shield cane and as his 425s started pounding into my shields, I quickly realised my best course of action was to flee the scene.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But my drones!!!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> I was determined I was taking them with me, Sard would NOT be calling me a bad mother tonight. I anxiously watched my drone overview <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">returning… returning… returning.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">To late!! The cane had me pointed and his guns still battered me. I overloaded my MWD but he kept me pointed and well pretty soon it was <a href="http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=8767543"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">all over</span></a>. I warped my pod out.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My drones dropped in the wreck I hope they liked their new owner, I hope he takes good care of them and lavishes them with the wealth he gained from the Loki wreck.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">From that moment forth I vowed never to risk myself again for the sake of my drones, and thus I will wear with pride my badge of BAD Mother.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I have always been a sci-fi fan and held a passionate fascination for the stars. Subsequently when a friend told me about EvE I couldn’t wait to jump into my internet space ship and go pew pew.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Although then I simply referred to it as “<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">blowing shit up</span></b>” (I had yet to learn the pew pew colloquialism).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Well as it turned out it wasn’t exactly that simple…. ( <a href="http://vickyvictorious.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/care_bear.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">first 9 months</span></a> ) undocking in my first internet spaceship (wow I thought my reaper looked fugly) I actually thought it was cool!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Not only did it come with a gun it also came with a mining laser (which incidentally was going to make me stinking rich!!!!) </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Oh what delusions… </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I had the grand total of 5k isk what new shiny thing could that buy me?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> I scoured the market and found “<i>my precious” </i><b><a href="http://images.wikia.com/eve/images/4/46/Stiletto.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: yellow;">The Stiletto</span></a></b>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I quickly realised a small problem, this dazzling piece of sparkly was going to cost me over 12 million!!!!!!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> But none the less it gave me something to work towards and thus obtaining a stiletto became my first goal in eve.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Why did I want a stiletto?<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>Because it was an awesome tackle ship? <o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>No.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"> I knew nothing of this concept, in fact the word tackle evoked entirely different connotations in my mind.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i>Because it was capable of incredible speeds?<o:p></o:p></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><br />
</i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>No.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"> I actually thought my reaper was pretty darn fast in my blissful n00bish ignorance.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The reason I set my sights on a stiletto was simple ….. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was the only shoe related item in the game.</span><o:p></o:p></b></i><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"> That was enough justification for my female brain and I suppose it’s almost kind of pink too.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> (Well it looked pink in the picture.).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Any how moving swiftly along….</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> My fascination didn’t last long when I discovered it was going to take me a whopping 49 days to train for it. I had no notion I would still be playing the game 3 years on, so short was my vision; so naive in the estimation how much the game was going to take over and occupy so much of my time.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Long story short I can now fly the stiletto but I never do.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Incidentally I never mined past the tutorial and for the last 2 years been a full blown pirate sec status -10. You can usually find me in space in my hurricane.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Why the hurricane one might ask? The answer is simple…..</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s very effective at <b>“<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">blowing shit up</span>”.<o:p></o:p></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
