Only good thing I got out of eve was 700 bucks for my characters.

Really? I wonder if my character would be worth much if it still exists.. I haven't played it in several years so my account may have been removed by now.

So Space Violence was busy with a pos-repping op in FD- when one of the local miscreant corps "Wag the Dog" decides to play undock games in a drake with a Chimera to keep it repped and capped up.
Having already shat on a battlecruiser-gang earlier, the SV fleet decides to go the extra mile, so Deros and Percelus proceed to bump said Chimera off the undock, somehow motivating it to triage upon noticing things weren't exactly going its way.

Alas, to no avail.

Everywhere else in Eve, this is usually the end of the story.
In Syndicate, however, this leads to the CEO of the hapless guy in his Chimera to cyno in an Erebus 200km atop the station on a none-driveby spot with a non-driveby fitting to doomsday one of Tiberizzle's carriers without any support to batphone whatsoever.

Tiberizzle, with what I can only imagine to be the most prominent of erections, warps an Onyx up to get the initial tackle, followed by the rest of his carriers, rapidly refitting them to keep the hictor capped up and the Erebus neuted.

With the hardeners shut off and the titan going down increasingly fast due to more SV guys jumping on it, Suas suddenly hops onto comms, ecstatically announcing how he is, in fact, in a fucking roadside service station at 8am in the morning and has just accidently sieged his dread on the undock, very much to our amusement.

Long story short: Space Violence murdered an Erebus with a grand total of 9 people.

Both Alikchi and Tuxedo have this frapsed and it will be glorious.

To echo the sentiments many others have expressed, somehow I get enough enjoyment reading about all the convoluted doublecrosses, scams, ganking etc. in Eve Online that I feel no desire to actually play it myself. Would probably make a great book, though.
