Yeah it was.

Today has been random.  Weve had sbs in their home system (which is now taken over by an incursion as a new way to fuck their tanks over), and also been looking for other unistas away from there, but overall its a quiet day.

[Mangala]

So yeah, Im fcing 8 gankeds over the holiday period for anyone still playing.... (I'll need a break from swtor and skyrim after all):

RVB Ganked: The Holiday Extravaganza!!
The holiday season is nearly upon us, which means plenty of beer and plenty of time for spaceships, which when combined result in hilarious explosions, and there is no better way to partake of these two wonderful gifts than an RVB Ganked roam.  Or several in a row!

Here is the program for the coming holidays:

19th November 2011 – Ganked 6: Judean People’s Front. The theme is lasers.  Preferably on Amarrian ships, but you can stick them on whatever.

26th November 2011 – Ganked 7: Get back in that kitchen. Anything you want to field, as long as it is battlecruiser sized or smaller.

10th December 2011 – Ganked 8: Viagra+Crucible=Penetration. Destroyer Hulls.  Post Crucible buffs.

17th December 2011 – Ganked 9: Chesnuts roasting on an open Fire(tail). Republic Fleet Firetails. Everywhere.

26th December 2001 – Ganked 10: Boxing Battleships. Will we get hotdropped? (if you cant/wont fly a BS come if anything else. Id prefer BS though.

7th January 2012 – Ganked 11: We’re going to need a bigger plane. Tier 3 Battlecruisers preferred.

14th January 2012 – Ganked 12: We come for our people. Rifter hulls. Because.

21st January 2012 – Ganked 13: Quack, Quack, Quack. Drakeswarm (and other assorted missile boats).

I will send round individual mails to the ingame mailing list “RVB Ganked” about these, as well as make posts for each on the RVB forums, and a post in the Ganked thread over on Failheap, as well as keep the RVB Ganked in-game channel updated. So guys, keep your eyes peeled, stock up on the beer and isk (isk=ships=explosions) and we will have a bloody good holiday!!!

Ganked 8: Go Deeper, Deeper!
(The aftermath of Ganked 8: Viagra+Crucible=Penetration)

The night started off as usual, I formed the fleet as early as I ever do, then moved a ship for an attendee who gets shot by the popo's every time he is in 1.0/0.9s.  Then I basically set my AP for the lowsec meetup and heading back to Rens, jumping repeatedly between 2 systems for 20minutes until I realised what I was doing (Following 1 yellow gate, then remembering and going back, then forgetting and following yellow gate again), this went down well on comms.

We actually got a good conga formed up in Rens - I wasnt at the front so probably a win right there.  However some stupid idiot tried to smartbomb it, he failed as he totally did it the wrong way.

We moved out, picked up people along the way, then fleet scouted ourselves into GW and started moving around.  My plan had been to go GW>ER>Insomther>Scalding Pass>Curse and then sleep, although it didnt pan out that way.  While running through an emptier than usual GW, we killed a couple of fail bombers, and then got word of a BC heavy gang following us.  After some random intel, it turns out to be Snigg, who are also on our comms - HAI VIMPLE!

(Chat log of a mostly one sided chat between vimple and myself because I was speaking on comms and through the magic of spais, he was answering me in chat:

[23:06:48] Vimple > what is your mumble so we can sing

[23:16:27] Mangala Solaris > kk and you dudes
[23:16:40] Vimple > gl to you all

They never came on after, but PuppyUK did sing Little Bees

Little Bees

to us before we warped in right on top of their sniper gang and killed stuff. Lesson I learned here, do not ever try and be sneaky on comms, people tend to ruin it... Gather on Mang, he is in the bubble on the gate.. "Its not on the gate" :S

We then moved on towards ER, however CCP said they were leaving from Polaris in another event fleet and the target was Syndicate, so we burned at best speed, gathered more folks and piled into Syndicate, and after much mucking about got BOMBERED all over the place, just as we engaged CCP

It was brilliant, following that we rolled again, and just dribbled in, and generally whored on what we could before dieing.

Then suddenly it was 2am and it was over, 5hrs of hilarity and great fun, good comms chatter, fun fights without too much crap.  Really really good. Longest night so far, most kills and most isk damage done too.

Ganked crowd you all keep me logging in, dont ever stop.

Depends which corp you applied too and who of the various folks who can accept are on. (I switched back to blue but havent asked for roles yet so I cant do it for blue), sometimes it can be as much as day.  Just spam the R-V-B if you are really eager
