It’s been a very eventful couple of weeks! Got a few kills, got killed a few, got podded due to lag…meh, decided to play in WH space, put up a POS, etc, etc…
I actually started this post sometime early last week, but between working, catching up on a few hundred google reader posts, and actually playing EVE I’ve neglected actually finishing it a bit, as a result…there will be more information than was planned! Hooray!!!

The War with the Deadspace Society is still going strong, though I have a few opinions of it, and how most of our corp is handling it.
We started off the war with getting a few more kills than we were getting killed, which was good. I personally got in on a few kills myself, and died twice. That last kill there was a pretty fun one for us. We had been chased (and being chased by) a gang of about 7-8 War Targets, and took one jump into lowsec to head to another area of highsec. Sadly for Slumpert he was the only one of his gang that decided to follow us into that lowsec system…which ended in his destruction. I hope he said thanks to his mates!
The Typhoon kill was a nice addition as well. It started with Akquar playing station games with us, not having enough of us to to much about as we couldn’t break his tank before his agression timer ended and he docked up a few times. Finally, much to his surprise backup arrived and he last attempt to play with us resulted in him going pop. For some reason (possibly lag?) he sat their in his pod so I pointed him. Sadly I wasn’t paying attention and clicked on another ship rather than his pod to approach and ended up getting out of range so Zav and Lars helped me crack his pod open. Yes, his corpse is sitting in my hangar now…no…I won’t tell you what I do with it at night.
My two deaths were no where near as fun. First one was simply me being the weakest person in the gang I was in so I got primaried pretty quickly I assume. Second one happened due to my own error. We were forming up to mess with a WT gate camp and everyone was aligned to the gate. FC said “Warp…” (so I hit warp) “…to Planet X” (this is where I learned to let the FC finish talking before hitting warp). So I end up at the gate and play jumping game with them a few times. I think it was the 4th jump where I couldn’t burn back to the gate fast enough and got squished.

My alt got podded, that was annoying. I was in Rens I think selling my lastest haul of sleeper stuff, and making a few runs with a few loads of Arkanor I had to unload. After 4 trips, I undocked from the station to find a WT in a hurricane sitting out front, I quickly docked back up in my Bestower to purchase a Shuttle to mess with him in. My plan was to head out, warp to a planet (which I did well) then warp in and out to annoy him while he couldn’t lock me each time.
Well, where it went wrong was the first time I warped back in…I lagged. My screen updated just in time to see my shuttle go boom, while I was spamming dock the whole time…then more lag. Next thing, I wake up in some station in Amarr space in my clone. There goes that full set of +4s. I hopped in a shuttle and flew back to Rens, logged out, and logged back in a few hours later to successfully get my hauler out and back to the wormhole.
I put in a petition to see if I could get reimbursed, since I was dumb and forgot to check and make sure my clone was upgraded (which…it wasn’t…figures…only 3 days of training to get back the skill I lost though, so wasn’t too bad). As always, the logs showed nothing.

I mentioned it earlier, but in case you missed it, I’ve been spending most of the war in a Wormhole system goofing around. I didn’t actually come in here to avoid the war, it just happened to work out that way…I’m hiding in the Shadows like a good Ninja!
When I first came in it was simply for a quick run with an Alliance Mate (we have an official alliance wh corp that has a pos in this same system). But it ended up with me staying for a bit, getting annoyed that I couldn’t use the ship maintenance array to store my ships (alliance mates can put them in, but only members of the wh corp can get them out for us…no thanks). So, the next day I thought about putting up my own POS to base out of.
When the static highsec exit opened up 3 jumps from Jita I took it as a sign from all those Ninjas that have passed before me. So, 9 trips of 6 jumps each later with my fully decked out and rigged Bestower Alt of Doom I had a medium POS setup in a class 1 wormhole system. Overkill? Yes! Fun? Yes! So it worked out well for me.
After a week though, I think I want to find myself a Class 2 wormhole to get to while I work on my skills.
Now, for the part that had to deal with the title of this post. My plan for my next WH move is to put up a large faction tower with a little bit of everything that I can online/offline when I need certain services. I know it’ll be overkill…but…I like to do things over the top. So, in good Ninjas fashion…I need someone to send me 2,600,000,000 isk so I can buy all the stuff. If you don’t have that much, I’ll accept much less, please just send Donations to Cyberin.
(please also note, the above paragraph is not serious…unless of course, you want to donate 
lol)

Where does the future lead?
I’m not sure yet. I enjoy being with the Ninjas, making new friends, and getting my loots from other people. But I’m also have a blast in my Wormhole, while also having thoughts of Faction Warfare. I thought I had finally made up my mind with what I want to do when I joined the Ninjas…but apparently, my mind was playing tricks on me since I’m still unsure of exactly what I want to do. I think in the end it’s all just going to come down to me doing whatever I feel like doing, whenever I feel like doing it. I guess only time will tell.
