Third shift report:

The morning notice: A few minutes after I logged on I had my first customer, it seems my name is getting around. He wanted to know about the GMG, possible mining options and how active they are. After explaining ll of that to him I advertised the [Ables_Aces] to him and he seemed interested. Also because the GMG doesn't have any mining I pointed him towards the IMG as they are very active (especially the CR). After that conversation I was contacted by a [TAZ] member wanting to know where he could get a BHG bribe. Before he went looking for the bribe he took a RH bribe and a corsair bribe. I sorted him out and he donated 200million credits to me:



After that occurred I stumbled across a merc ID'd, Council tagged Zoner Gunboat. After a lengthy conversation I got him to understand that he should get rid of the tag and replace it with a freelancer one instead. I also warned him that the Zoner might require that he get permission from them in order to use that vessel unmolested. That's the morning report. Tune in for the afternoon report later.

The Afternoon edit: Well nothing important/drastic happened. In fact nothing happened. It was just a really slow afternoon.

Shift report four:

In today's report I'm going to start off with something that took me most of the afternoon to complete. Today, I met my first real "lolwut". I was returning to New York after buying my Scimitar for my Angel when I heard a person asking how to get into Alaska. I put a message out that if anyone needed assistance that they should contact me on private comms. Sure enough this person contacted me asking me how get through the mines. About the same a Navy player PM'd me with the information that the person was a lolwut trader. I decided to investigate this further, so I called both of these players to Norfolk shipyard. On the way the I was questioning the trader and he said that he was a Navy person and he was in a Gunboat. When I got to Norfolk the Navy player told me that the trader was actually in an atlas IMG transport. Sure enough when the trader arrived he was in an atlas and had a Navy ID and IFF. It took the Navy player and I all afternoon to finally get it through his head that what he was doing was wrong and that if he wanted to trade with that vessel he should go and get an IMG ID and IFF. To prevent any unwanted questions and wastes of time we went to Kepler to get a Researcher ID so that he could make the journey to Tau 23 to do missions for the IMG. When I got him to finally use the /droprep command we found out that he had high green rep with at least five factions. After sorting that out we went to Tau 23 and finally got him started on missions. I tried my up most with this person but I'm still unsure as to his understanding. He said he understood but I'm still not sure.

A few other things happened in my shift but for the most part it was very slow. I think I'm finally starting to get noticed around the place as I always have people talking to me. I love this job! Pity I still don't have the neutral IFF...

Shift report five:

Well today was a mixture of activity and in-activity for me. I started off my shift in Baffin and was making my way back to NY when I stumbled upon a few friends who were going to Omega 3 to pimp an IMG Battlecruiser. I decided to follow them so that I could see how the mining was working out. On the way I encountered a Mercenary ID'd, BH IFF'd Rhienland gunboat. When I asked him what was going on he said that he had permission from an official faction member that he could use that ship. I couldn't dis-prove that statement so I told him that it would be in his best interest to change the BH iff to a freelancer. He understood and we both went our separate ways. Made it to Omega 3 and was thoroughly convinced that I should pimp my Angel Scimitar. Anyway, I was back in Penn after that and encountered a Navy ID'd and IFF'd Junker Recycler. I told him that a Navy person in RP would be flying their own ships instead of junker ones. He understood and asked me what to do to get a freelancer IFF. I told him and he was on his way. After that I went to Conn to de-stress and finish off my shift with a nice conversation with the boys present in there.

I'm on almost all day everyday. People are starting to recognize me and ask for help whenever I get on. I really enjoy this job because I can talk to anyone and be a real help in the community.

I'm only going to do a few minutes as I have some stuff to do at home so I won't include this as an actual shift. I've sent the 200mill donation the the [Angel]Swift.Foundation and I'll post the screen of that when I have the important part cut out of it. During those few minutes though I flew around NY and came across a Camera ship without an ID. I told him to get an ID and that maybe he should think about buying another ship because that one doesn't exist in RP. He understood and has bought the ID. He's going to Gamma so that his friend can set him up with another ship.

EDIT: here is the transfer image:

He's going to Gamma so that his friend can set him up with another ship.

I do not see that as a cause for concern.


Anyway, I pulled a shift. Did I actually pull it? No. It just sounds good.

It was short. No-one asked for help. Several people were killed. Are the two related? No. Shock value, since this is a boring read.

That was about it really.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

I do not see that as a cause for concern.

I never said that the fact that he was going to gamma to get another ship was a cause for concern. I'm just letting people know what happened and what is going to happen.

Relax, Bear. I am just making some humour at the assumptions we all have. For all we know he might become the best role-player on the server. Or not.

Anyway, I pushed a shift today. (Bet you did not expect that right?)

Regardless, I met Bear. We were in space. (Amazing, right?)

Anyway, he helped me with a transfer and I hung around for a bit. Just a few minor questions on where to get what ship.

Well not much happened today. A guy (who's name I cannot remember) was flying around in the Omegas, sent me a PM in game asking about omega 58 and omega 55, whether or not they were Nomad systems. I gave him a general background of the wilde and gave him advice on omega 58, not to go there without other people to back you up because of all the patrols.

After a while [Cartel]'s Sirslicey contacted me to ask whether or not Cartel could get a Ranseur, I told him to ask SOB and 101 as they would know better, I also told him my feelings on this that they would probably be better off with a coverted prison/slave liner (they wanted to use it as a HQ so yeah). Anyways he also asked of my opinion of Cartel in general, and I told him I wouldn't mind to see them get approved because I feel they've proved themselves so yeah.

Anyways, thats all that happened today.

------------Interfacing with the Nexus of Pure Thought-----------------
Origin: Carlos of the Angels

I look upon my actions in region of Philadelphia and New York with pride. I believe I have influenced pilots of the lower plains positively.

To date, 8 pilots have been offered guidance on how to follow the path to enlightenment.

This evening, we met a pilot who flew a ship called "Trike". He was taking his first flight, and wanted to explore the universe.
We explained that only with a strong ship would such a dream be realised, and that certain organisations might be able to help him with this dream.
He decided that his destiny should be to join the Zoners.

We guided him to Erie's helium cloud, and he learned the skill of mining.
While he mined, we spoke of philosophy, and of the universe. We explained that many pilots who emerge into space are so overwhelmed by the beauty of the universe that they reject it's reality and claim it is a "game". He vowed to remain true to his character at all times.



The pilot made a small fortune off of Helium, and then took interest corporations. We reached out to Zoners across Sirius, and lo and behold, the OSI group offered him a job.



We are proud to say that the pilot is now with the OSI, and likely is now in under their employment.



Though Angels can offer guidance to pilots who seek to follow the path of Discovery and endevour to reach enlightenment, so too can corporations guide pilots along the path. Only through integration with the community of the universe can enlightenment be achieved.

The great way has no gate. There are many paths to it. If you pass through the barrier, you walk the universe alone.

Hey that's a great report Carlos. That's really impressive:D.

Now onto mine. Today I was basically in New York. There was alot going on and as soon as I logged in I was met with OORP chatter over system comms and questions coming in all directions. I help a person understand the engagement rules and what happens if you don't follow them. He understood and was very pleased with the information that I provided him. After that I dealt with some people who were speaking in OOC in system chat. They understood me and didn't do it again. Now comes the bad part of my shift. I was at Manhattan scanning people and chatting when all of a sudden I was set upon by a person and destroyed. I tried to speak with them but they were rude and not very sympathetic. So the sanction report is now completed and sent in and I hope to be seeing his name on the sanction board soon. Some people just don't understand that we are busy and being blown to kingdom done just makes our jobs all the more harder. I'll hop back onto my Angel character later today when I feel that I won't get angry.
