A lot of good memories of nice people from my first days..
But the one I remember best is the day I went to alpha to get me a Sabre and ended up 20 minutes later at Freeport 10 with around 15 people camping it to kill me for the 6th time, telling me I would get banned for saying "mofos", before someone finally explained to me what a "LPI iff" was and why it was a reason for them to kill me.
It took me a while to find out that there are weapon groups - so I manually started my snac on my barghest, I kept the Inferno always on together with the rest of the guns- I had IMG Vampire guns since I found them on the FP4... and hacker IFF on the rogue bomber since I didn't know what IFF is.
Barghest was my second ship. I done my credits starting from starflya trading to rhino then to dromedary, etc- I was so happy when I had credits for Mamuth.
I also tried 4.84 for a bit- some guy gave me credits on start for nothing and showed me how to equip ships then I made- pre-eagle the fat ugly bomber roc style... I got bored easy and when I came back several months later it was 4.85 beta.
I was sanctioned once... and it was unfair to me and my group... but it happens. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;hl=explosive
Otherwise I remember protecting Silver ore miner with my hacker bomber- my 3rd ship.:crazy:

Interspace Id'd Titan with Hornvipers... in NY. I got told by a player I might want to change that. I asked why, he pointed at the rules about gear. The rest is history.
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
1. Gone heavy recon into Iota. Ended up in keeper bombers pursuing 4 osirises & resheph being forced to run through Omicron Alpha. Suprisingly 'Casts docked after shout "ORDER INVASION".
2. Quite early, I decided to "escort" a luxury liner apparently going to Penn. I shouted "RUUN I COVER YOU" in system chat and started spraying my low-end lasers when 3 rogue NPC bloodhounds disabled trade lane...
3. Stayed too close to Omicron Iota jumphole with osiris during marduks move out.
4. BS Missile'd a Order| member while I was still indie. I was targetting nearby smuggler.
Apart from the events on another server (where I tried to fight a bomber and a VHF while flying a Pelican, mistook a GB for a freighter and attacked it while flying a fighter and initially tried to make money by doing missions)...
Here I was flying an armorless Guardian (but I managed to get myself a Mini-Razor, thanks to Gafwmn).
Quote:At that time I was foolish enough to try stopping 2 pirates (one of them could be Pacific, the other might be Implosion, although I'm not so sure about that). The annoying Guardian tasted a SNAC, as expected.
Quote:Even without the AU, I still managed join Zigeris, who intended to make a scouting in Rheinland. Despite the fact that I had no armor, I still relied on my Razor. But, having met an Aoi Isejin in Alaska (might be Akura's Isejin, but again, not sure about that), I realised that the lack of normal AU on my ship is a problem (since I tend to detonate mines easily). Despite the fact that I could use the Razor, I got killed quite fast.
Also, it was the first time when I was playing late hours, so I didn't get the riddle of Akura's character. Instead, when I came there, I screamed "Wilde!" in the system chat (well, that was a Katana with nomad guns, so I could partially justify my actions, but I won't). Alright, the loLSF part is over, now it's time for the LOlder.
I can remember a NY raid with other Order indies. It's hard to believe, but it actually was balanced (an Ossie, a GB or two, some fighters and bombers). At first we pewed every station in Alaska, then proceeded to pew the Missouri and got attacked by the local LNSes. That's it. Needless to say, Brian Scott (the character who raided NY) is now a Captain in the Order|.
I only remember a few of mine. But my main lolwut history is as follows:
One of them was me proto-roleplaying the Baboon from 'I am Weasel' in my Zoner ID/LN IFF'd Viper Mk2 with Nomad guns. This was back in the day when a tax was needed to use Nom weapons.
Another one was sometime later when I was hanging out with a bunch of Corsair dudes in Berlin. They got ganked, and my Zoner RT ('Shinwa') with 'unregistered' Nom guns suddenly got turned into a Corsair.
Eventually, I had a Titan (again called 'Shinwa') and a Praetorian ('Aqua Hulcus' or something), and eventually I had a Gunboat (the now Raba transport), hanging out with the HAF and the rest of the Corsair factions, usually commanding my own wing of lolwuts, fighting off the BHG.
One thing led to another, and I eventually found myself dragged into a pro lolwut faction: =CR=
