The Captains Log 26/1
Ship: Mackinaw
As part of my plan to generate more ISK I am getting a couple of my characters the standings they require to run level four missions. This means a lot of mission grinding, which can get a little boring.
So I decided to liven things up a little by doing some Ice mining on one of my characters. Yes you heard right; I was going to relieve the grind of running mission by mining. You see mining has a couple of nice benefits. Firstly it would allow me subsidise part of my fuel bill for my S&I POS and secondly other people like to mine as well. Some of those people like to jet can mine which naturally attracts other people who like to can flip the miners in the hope of an easy kill.
Now I like to jet can mine, though not because it’s quicker or more efficient. I like to do it in the hope that some prick will come along and can flip me so I can bring my mission running character out in a PvP ship and blow up some poor unsuspecting can flipper.

Welcome to the fourteenth installment of the EVE Blog Banter, the monthly EVE Online blogging extravaganza created by CrazyKinux. The EVE Blog Banter involves an enthusiastic group of gaming bloggers, a common topic within the realm of EVE Online, and a week to post articles pertaining to the said topic. The resulting articles can either be short or quite extensive, either funny or dead serious, but are always a great fun to read! Any questions about the EVE Blog Banter should be directed to crazykinux@gmail.com. Check out other EVE Blog Banter articles at the bottom of this post!
The first banter of 2010 comes to us from the EVE Blog Father, CrazyKinux himself, who asks the following: As we begin another year in New Eden, ask yourselves “What Now?” What will I attempt next? What haven’t I done so far in EVE? Was it out fear, funds, or knowledge? Have I always wanted to start my own corporation, but have never dared doing so? Is there a fledgling mercenary waiting to come out of its shell? Or maybe an Industrialist? What steps and objectives will I set myself to accomplish in order to reach my ultimate goal for this year? EVE is what you make of it. So, what is it going to be for you?
Over the last three years I have pretty much dabbled in everything, but I have really spent 95% of my time living in Null sec and I don’t see that changing any time soon as I don’t like empire for PvP (unless it is POS’s) and I don’t like Low sec PvP (to many restrictions). So that just leaves a life in 0.0 or wormholes space. For me there are two big things I want to do 1) Get more involved in PvP and 2) Make lots of ISK to support number 1.

Solar system: Utopia; Curse
Ship: Ishkur Class Assault Ship
The last week or so I have been dealing with the fallout of attacking Chribba and then being kicked out of the alliance along with my old corp I.M.M. For the most part this has involved moving assets out of Esoteria and then setting up shop elsewhere. I have also joined a new corp.

This weeks flash fiction from Ecliptic Rifit is “If this goes on…”
***
Rurik lounged back in his Command Chair looking at the new arrival in his office.
“Lieutenant Korsakov, as you may know we have recently lost one of our agents in the field, which is unfortunate for us. Fortunately, though intel has managed to locate where he is going to be held, a little out of the way integration facility over in the Hamah system on planet one. So Lieutenant you job is quite simple; destroy the holding ship before it reaches the facility and end the danger our agent presents to this organisation. I suggest you do so as the transport ship prepares to dock at the facility. Here is a datachip containing the known details of the transport ships route and the estimated time of arrival. Dismissed Lieutenant”
Korsakov saluted “Sir,” about turned and strode out of Rurik’s office leaving him to think about what was to be done next.

The Captains Log 7/1
Solarsystem: Irnin; Domain Region
We have all seen the Butterfly Effect trailer that promotes the idea that single person’s actions can affect the lives and game play of everyone one around them. Well let me now tell you a story about the butterfly effect.
It all starts with a corporation called the Disgruntled Postal Workers Union, who happens to have an undefended POS with some tasty labs anchored around. Naturally, this a great target for CPR so we war dec them with the intention of reducing the POS to space dust. However, an Atlas member convos me and
