Ladies and Gentlemen and also Cosmo



Lets talk about Ganked, more specifically lets talk about Ganked 79: Kite Runner. Thats right this is a AAR of sorts, why? Because I want to.



The idea behind this was Kitey Missile Ships, so naturally I brought a MJD Torp/Nueting Rokh. Why? Well I cant use Cruise and because I can thats why. I once bought a mammoth to a frig brawl. Because I could, dont underestimate the Battle Mammoth,



So the fleet with the illustrious Larkonis, the FC of all our hearts, and the one we deserve at its head set off, and

well nothing, we roamed Provi with narry a bad in sight, and then, just like last week a very very foolish carrier decided to rep his cyno alt, and then agress the person shooting it. And so the 140man fleet with alot battleships descended upon it in BR-N97. This time I didnt miss the kill, http://zkillboard.com/detail/32695301/





In the words of our FC “for some of you this is your first carrier kill, this is not how to fit a carrier”.



So we moved on buoyed by a carrier kill, until lark a Thanatos has fell into our trap, however this time we, we're not as close and this time we couldn't kill it before its timer ran out, it docked with about 20% structure left. We were dejected somewhat, but it didn't matter, we'd already killed one carrier. And so on we went, the great TiDi train of doom and missiles, we reached Delve, the once home of Band of Brothers, TEST and my old alliance BORG, Delve to me is a old haunted place, infested with bees, and bees we found in 1DH-SX, a bunch of them infact, in Naga's with Scimtar Logi. They were, well bad, like really bad.

I however only managed to get on 2 mails, 'cus my fit is bad, like I

didn't realise how bad until this point it was, but I didn't care I was having fun in my girder.





The swarm was not happy we killed them not one bit and promised “if you wait you will get a

fight”, we decided, nah fuck them lets get a groove on and visit TEST in Arida, on the way we got harassed by some fleet scythes who picked of stragglers, we killed a few but some battleships sadly bit

the dust, except me somehow. I managed to MJD away from them, because I have massive balls.

When we reached the outer area of Arida Mangala joined us, having come from his town hall meeting at the

CSM.





The plan was, fight some TEST in Arida, and once we harassed them a bit, move on to BRAVE space and play with them, if

any group in eve will give ganked a fight its the brave nutters over in BRAVE.



The plan however in the end proved useless, because test happened to have a fleet out for

shooting pos's, a Proph Sentry fleet, and so, what I like to call The Arida Event happened.



We entered Solaria.



The fight started with us burning to there fleet, who came to us of all things, on the Asah gate, them landing at 50km and dropping sentries, I as a brawler decided to fuck burning ill warp off and land on them at 0, which I did, the prophecies however, seeing a Rokh sat next to them at 0km, decided it would be a good plan to just kill me immediately, I wasn't

the first to die by any means, but I couldn't use my ships full effectiveness at its effective range, which was sad, so I reshipped

in system into a Talwar, which as fitted and armed on contract, which was nice of TEST. And came back this time at range, and then spent 40-50 minutes hurling missiles at 50km at targets, the TEST fleet was either lucky, or had spais on comms because we managed to go through around 5 different callers in the fight, including yours truly, the fight was incredible, explosions everywhere, even their logi, of which was Oni's Guards Exe's and Augora's couldn't stand our damage, however TEST had the home-field advantage and could reship faster and into bigger ships, where as we had to use the market and contracts, they had hangers and carriers to pull from. In the end I feel both sides won, TEST held the field, we did more isk damage, and everyone had fun.



When people talk about Asakai and 6VDT as momentous events in eve I feel that is doing the game a disservice, blue ball

lag-fests are not what we should be telling the world, sure its neat that 4000 people duked it out, or one mistake lead to a flustercluck, but a good fight, a genuinely good fight between two forces, one cobbled together out of the idea of fun, and one organised, is what we should shout to the known corners of the universe,



Asakai is not fun

6VDT is not fun



Solaria is fun.



To all the haters RvB is the real deal. So deal with it.
