sharing a funny story
I dove directly into wormhole exploration, even before I had Omega and thus even before I had access to cloaking. Doing data & relic sites is quite lucrative …
Now fast forward two weeks and I am still in my Minmatar Probe, but now with proper cloaking and I am making big money (given my level) in wormholes.
Yesterday I was pinned down and executed swiftly by @Vinnegar_Douche from the WHPD. He was impressed by the value of my loot
I became part of his show, well … I was cited to court on twitch, where I was supposed to make amends. I did hack into containers in wormhole space, after all - a serious offense.
I’m still not quite sure what the rules of the game are, but supposedly twitch chat could have voted to grant me 1 Billion ISK, if I had convinced them - not sure how. Games and stuff.
I also received two Blueprints as present.
I am not even mad, the whole thing was amazing. Role-playing in EVE is great. It gives meaning to my death and also, it maintains the risk-and-rewards structure. Me, chilling & hackin’ in nullsec when no-one’s in local, is probably fine - remains the risk of returning the loot, eventually. Me, chilling & hackin’ in J-Space is probably a bit reckless. It might be, though, that the overall turn-out still makes it worthwhile.
(in my case, I have to add the WHPD show and a private donor to the mix, so I actually got much more than just ISK … you know, the true treasure is the friends you meet on your way)
Shout out to the WHPD! Keeping J-space save for loot boxes.
