Day 14 - Tax Evasion

Oh ho ho! I managed to be rather slippery today and avoided paying the obscene interest on my debt to the Server Gods, but only just! Pirate

Unfortunately, I only managed to play two Skirms today, and I lost both of them, but they were still pretty fun nonetheless.

The first match was vs The Dark Cloud, Gideon McAllistar, and a PFB dude. I managed to carve into The Dark Cloud's thick, juicy Commando CK.0 rump once, and sprayed him down with Six Kin ACR bullets another time. Twisted

I'm also pretty sure I killed Gideon at least once. What?

At the end of the match, I had gone 7/3 - best K/D on my team - and I recall The Dark Cloud went 12/6. Smile

There was a bit of lag, so I probably could have done even better if I had a better connection in that particular match.

The second match was very interesting. On my team was Ian The Conquer and a few 0.H guys, and the enemy team included Shotty GoBang, ( Pirate

), Cross Atu, and Breakin Stuff. Smile

It was an incredibly hard-fought battle, but in the end, our team conceded defeat. Sad

Regrettably, I didn't encounter Shotty the entire match, but I stabbed Breakin a few times. Twisted

The lag got so bad at one point that I had to abandon a seemingly easy Knife kill because the red was teleporting rather than running. Shocked

I produced a comparatively fantastic score - 11/1 - when the next best K/D on my team was 10/8, a 1.25 K/D. Cool

Ian The Conquer went 12/10, and Shotty went 14/7.

I got ready for a PC against DMG, but irritatingly, we were all kicked from deployment and the contract disappeared from our Battle Finders. Evil

I was really looking forward to an opportunity to tangle with TheD1ck again...

Best Nova Knife kill today; when I put The Dark Cloud on my dinner table and carved him up like a Christmas Turkey; a tasty meal for all the family!

Worst fail; definitely when I tried to stab that Amarr Assault but the lag said 'lolno'. Sad

Notable people encountered today: Shotty GoBang, Ian The Conquer, Cross Atu, The Dark Cloud, Gideon McAllistar, Kill3r H3llh0und.

Stay tuned... o7

P.S. Apologies for the late entry: I unexpectedly ran out of time yesterday when I was almost finished writing Day 14's entry. Expecting a draft to be saved, I shut down my laptop. Naturally, a draft wasn't saved, and I had to rewrite this entry. You're looking at Day 14's revised second edition! Big smile

Dreis ShadowWeaver 0uter.Heaven Back and Forth 3375	Posted - 2015.05.02 18:13:00 - [182] - Quote Day 15 - Just Another Day in the Office! Whooooooaaaaa, we're halfway there!!! That's right, we're halfway through our journey of returning to the Path of the Minja, and it's been a fun ride! Some bad days, some good days, and some serious zen-chasing. I look forward to what the other half throws at me! Today I got into a Skirm vs a nearly full FA squad. In this squad was Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p, Devin Xer, xTheSiLLyRaBBiTx, Jigoku No ReizaSan, and one other. In my squad was... uh... some 0.H guys... and... uh... DAMMIT!!! I can't remember... Anyways, I managed to frontal-knife Devin Xer whist he was hiding around a corner whilst in a socket. I just dashed in there and slashed his Assault AK.0 face off. I sprayed him down another time, and I killed xTheSiLLyRaBBiTx at least once. Finally, I got Gav with an OB. Jigoku managed to stab me just as I was about to stab him when we bumped into each other as we rounded a corner though... We lost the match, but I went 11/2 - best K/D of either team - and Gav went 8/4. I can't quite recall what the other guys went. I then rang for Heaven84 Devils against Grupo De whatever they're called. We won the match, and I went 15/5! \o/ H84D The General's French accent nearly made me soil myself whist he was FCing though... Overall, it was a good day. I suspect the Server Gods' agents will be knocking on the doors to my Mercenary Quarters very shortly though...

Dreis ShadowWeaver 0uter.Heaven Back and Forth 3388	Posted - 2015.05.03 15:04:00 - [186] - Quote Day 16 - 'Just Call Me Stompy McStomperton' So much blood, all spilled by my hand... Or rather, spilled by my blades... I got to catch up with my old friend Bright Steel today and we got a'stabbin' and a''shootin' together. Obviously, I tried to perform at my best, you know me, always trying to make a good impression. Overall, I'd say I accomplished this. Whilst I did have one particular match where I got caught on terrain and went 11/5 whilst Bright Steel went 10/4 (which led to him goating in Nova Knifers United about how he had gotten a better score than me ), I soon regained my face by wrecking others' faces, going 30/1 in a Skirmish on the Gallente Research Facility. I was absolutely humbled and touched when Bright Steel said: Bright Steel wrote: Dreis ShadowWeaver wrote: Bright Steel wrote: I'm trying to improve my Minja skills. Nice, me too lol I'm trying to be like you. You're my hero. C-Could I really be a role-model for other knifers?! That would just fill me with pride and joy! It's all I've ever wanted; recognition... After this, I got into a 0.H PC vs... um... I can't remember... It doesn't really matter anyway: they were using a bunch of ringers. We won, almost 5-capping them, and I came 11th place, going 3/1. There wasn't really much for me to do: I was mostly just defending our Homepoint, which was seldom attacked. Best of all though, DAAAA BEAST uploaded a video of me at my prime, the match where I went 32/5 and stabbed DAAAA BEAST right in his face! Please check it out!

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 23705	Posted - 2015.05.03 16:16:00 - [190] - Quote Read the whole thing. Various comments and feedback: Day 7 wrote: I'm going to be completely honest. The most important thing for me in Dust is making a good impression on others; to impress others. Some may call it silly, but I care about what others think of me. Guaranteed, after every match, I'm thinking, 'What do my squadmates think of me now?'. Whilst this is one of the things that compels me to be constantly improving, it is also a source of great anger and frustration. It seems that whenever I see someone I really want to impress, I perform at my worst. Ahahahahaaaaa. This is sort of why I still play DUST. The community connections are basically everything to me. The best times in DUST are when there are people I know on both sides and I can have good duels. Having a spirit of competition is a vast improvement over getting constantly irritated about scum infesting some tower and spamming cores. I probably had more fun chilling with friends in a dull match than I did destroying everything. Day 8 wrote: I finally got an opportunity to play in a PC! \o/ I was ringing for ML. vs RG. I was very excitied, until only 6 mercs were on the enemy team. X A couple joined mid-match, but they were at too much of a disadvantage to make a comeback. In the end, I went 3/1, 6th place. Not bad, I'd say, but I was really disappointed that I couldn't get butchering in a more serious PC. X My payment: 256K. I could have ran a pub and made more ISK! The reason why the payout was so low was because RG hadn't used Proto: they ran BPOs or Standard gear. This meant that they made millions out of us, but we made pittance. Essentially, they were generously paid for losing, which I think is ridiculous. Yeah... PC has basically been gutted. Payouts have been consistently decreased and now there's zero benefit to holding a district. That's not even an exaggeration - there is no reason at all to hold a district. It's a shame you didn't get to knife True. I'll go ahead and put a 1 mil bounty on him. If he confirms you knifed him (whether you take a picture of it, get a mail from him, or he confirms it to me on Skype) then I'll transfer the ISK.

Dreis ShadowWeaver 0uter.Heaven Back and Forth 3439	Posted - 2015.05.04 20:10:00 - [204] - Quote Day 17 - A Beautiful Reuinon With the sun beaming down on us, we ran to each other across the lush green meadow, arms outstretched. Meeting in the middle, he leapt into my arms. Pink angelic flower petals swirled around us as we twirled on the spot. Slowing down, I lowered his feet to the ground. Gently resting my right hand on the side of his face, I gradually lent closer. 'Crimson...' I whispered in his ear. 'Dreis...' he panted. NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES Ah, yes! After about 20 or so days of being unable to access his PS3, my best bud Crimson Shieid finally returned to Dust! Oh, how I had missed him! Seeing his name in NKU again brought joy to my withered heart. After some introductions and what not, we got into a squad together and played a few Skirms. Now, I was determined to make a good impression after not seeing him for so long! The first match, I went 13/5 whilst he went something like 14/4. I had gotten caught on the terrain once and was spawn-killed another time. Ah, but I was just warming up, I proclaimed, for the next match I was able to go a respectable 20/2. I had regained face in front of my one and only. \o/ I played a bunch of matches where Crimson and I stabbed hand in hand. Some times he melee'd though, and other times he used an Assault. I do recall that his Thukker MN-L SKIN stirred my loins though... One particular match (where Crimson sat out to finalise a trade) was especially interesting. In my squad (among others) was Daichi Saisho and 1st Lieutenant Tiberius, and the opposition consisted of a full G.L.O.R.Y. squad - including Markus Caldrone and Mortishai Belmont - who were all running full Officer. A ferocious match ensued. I did badly at the beginning of the match, but I soon turned it around once I got my head on straight. We just barely lost the match by MCC, but the G.L.O.R.Y. team was very nearly cloned. I went 20/5 and Tibs went 23/15. Later, I got into an 0.H PC vs Planet Express. That was a very close match, albeit we lost. I was one of only 5 0.H guys on my team who went K/D positve. I went 5/4 and came 5th place. GG to Planet Express: I hope to have more fights like that soon with you guys! Overall, it was a fantastic day. I had reunited with Crimson, and I had performed well in a PC. Notable people encountered today: Crimson Shieid, 1st Leiutenant Tiberius, Mortishai Belmont, Markus Kaldrone, Grand Master Kubo and his Planet Express lot, most of 0.H. Wait, what's that?
