What Makes Home "HOME"??

The above question comes from a blog banter a month or two ago, maybe more, about where and why people choose to call a specific place home. I dont remember if I wrote a post of my own about it or if I even commented on it. Yet like many of my posts, Im too lazy to actually check myself.

So what is home to me? It where I store all my things. Its where I go to relax and cool off, usually defending from invaders. For almost a year, Ive made my home in Heild. Going on vacations to Eugales or forgetting things in the storage warehouses in Amarr space dont really make those places my home. Home is where your heart is and my home is and will probally always be Heild, Planet X, Pator Tech School station. As far as a corporation being home? I feel this is where I came into my own in the world of New Eden. I definately grew and learned alot while here with the Black Rebel Rifter Club. Its good to know that my quarters with them will always be available. The Rebels will always be home to me.

Arbitrator vs Stabber

Logging in, I was rather bored. I was sorting through my inventory and finding stuff that I didnt need or had extras of that I could sell for a quick blink of my wallet. Sard Caid comes in and asks for a 1v1 frig fight, so I offer myself up.

Landing in the plaex at 30km, I approach. As Im getting situated with range, a Russian wartarget lands in a harpy in the plex as well and begins shooting me, along with Sard. Needless to say, it wasnt much of a fight and my Punisher was quickly destroyed. I warped the pod out, with the Russian not even attacking Sard at first. I soon get a convo from Sard saying something about how he thought the additional guy was part of my alliance. After a quick update on how r1der accepts and honors all 1v1's, I made Sard feel like an ass for thinking Id broken our 1v1. At which point, he pointed the Russian and let me know to come back if I had a frigate.

Retribution: WTF?

So I see all this doom and gloom about the new exspansion. Lots of people are pissed off about it. But me? I think its going to be pretty cool. I look forward to the changes to cruisers, as Ive been wanting to upgrade to medium ships for awhile now, and what better time to do so than when they get buffed, eh?

Korvus the Fleet Leader

So I had a remap recently, back in September actually. I remapped to train the Leadership skills with the intent of using the Christmas remap to switch to Perc/Will for more gunnery, missile and ship training in January or Feb or whenever I get tired of training leadership skills. The reason for this training is that Id like to lead fleets on a regular basis. Whether or not Im gonna be good at this is up for debate, but I feel Id be a pretty good fleet commander. Plus its fun when I get to take the blame for blowing us up or getting credit for an awesome roam. Take the good with the bad I spose. Anyhow, Ive been leading a fleet here and there with the newbies in r1der lately.

A Return to....What?

Interestingly enough, a little bit. Its been roughly 60 days since my last post on here. Not much has changed in my playtimes, still on and off. I let my killboard lapse, because tbh, it was down for like 2 weeks or something. Well, that and the fact it was mostly red for the last two months with only one or two green lines in that time. As far as blogging, Ive been slacking both on this one and the group one for r1fta. Its not because of lack of things to write about, I did make a few narrow escapes; but I just havent had the motivation to write.

With a few exceptions, several of the blogs I enjoy reading havent posted in awhile either, for one reason or another. One of the features of the blog that I never utilized before was the scheduled posting thing. I figured it out that I can write posts and then schedule them to post later. This is cool because now I can write and set it without worrying about logging in on that day to make a post. Pretty helpful and I can write as much or as little as pleases my fancy for things. Which is cool to me, because I might make use of it now.

Anyhow, plans for this blog include things such as trying out the Arbitrator Plan, similar to the Flight of Dragons blog. I really enjoyed his Punisher Plan and wish he'd go back to posting regularly, but that whole RL thing is a distracting thing once in awhile. Id also like to toss in a few RP stories here and there. Not neccassarily about fights Ive had or encounters Ive been in, just a bit of fan fiction and story on my characters. Oh right, I do have more characters... Ill make a separate post for that info, as it got long winded when I was typing it out.

So yeah, plans for this here blog of mine:
Arbitrator Plan
Fan Fiction type tales of Korvus
Stories of Null Sec Alt Adventures

I think with these three things, I will have plenty to write about and continually be motivated to write about. We'll see how it progesses!

Its a Pirates Life for Me!

And us pirates, we like our stories. Usually told through voice, passed on from one pirate to the next, our stories grow to legends and eventually myths. Fables of the great Miura Bull and his cult following of Rebels, for example.

More so than most, the Black Rebel Rifter Club has many accomplished "warrior poets" as you will. Amoung the regular pirate crews of New Eden, you will find many exciting and storied tales of killing, fighting, sex, drugs, whiskey, and of course, Rifters; a great many originating from this very Club.

Recently, Miura Bull was approached by a mysterious "Fighter X". I dont know the details of the details, but suffice to say that a group of eight were chosen to tell their stories. Some of them arent the greatest pilots of r1fta, but they hold the legends close to heart and rejoice in the tellings of the Club.

So without further ado, I give to you the Black Rebel Rifter Club's collaborative effort at recording this pirate corporations history and stories:

The Fighter at the Gates of Hell

Vengeance vs Ishkur

Ive been away from my blog for almost six weeks. I have done almost nothing in this time away productive. My PI has fallen behind, Ive let one account laspe just cuz I didnt feel like keeping up with it, and I lost almost my entire isk supply gambling. I have issues, I know! Anyhow, I log in once in awhile to find a quick fight or screw around working to bring my sec status back up; the latter of which isnt doing much of moving up since I recently hit -9.0. Im pretty much a career pirate at this point and unlikely that I will ever spend the time needed to "fix" this. Anyhow, enough with the boring stuff, on to the fight!
