Title: WARNING! children can seriously damage your wealth (in and out of eve)
Post by: Macrune on June 26, 2009, 10:17:30 AM
PART 1


several days ago whilst happily lvl 4 missioning in my Nighthawk my 14 month old decided to throw up over the sofa and carpet.
Off i run to clear it up. Whilst scrubbing away at the mess i suddenly realise ive left my toon mid battle  :o.
A swift visit to the PC reveals that my much prized ship is now only so much debris and im floating around in a pod.  ::)

after some rapid salvage operations and a quick calculation i work out im approx 200 mill down :-\

PART 2

Last night, or rather around 4 am this morning my youngest decides he isnt going to sleep any more and wants to scream the house down. Rather than wake everyone else up i bring him downstairs into my office at the back of the house out of the way. I decide a little lvl 4 missioning is the order of the day as i can't do much else whilst holding him.
So i pull out my Cerb (i hadnt bothered to replace the nighthawk) and off i go. Very quickly the reason for my youngests screaming becomes apparent when whilst sitting on my lap he promptly throws up all over my keyboard and mouse.  Off i run to grab some kitchen roll in a heroic damage limitation attempt. In The two minutes it takes me to mop up the worst guess what happens? Yup you guessed it. My Cerb is now only so much salvage floating around and im back in my egg for the second time in 3 days   >:(

The moral of this story dear friends.... Don't do anything above a lvl 3 when you're juggling rugrats single handed.  ::)

The total cost you ask?  well in total im down just over 400 mill. And thats after ive taken off what little i was able to recover  ::)

i could never be as cruel as that.  I look forward to reading in the news in a few years time headlines like. "madonna's daughter arrested for drugs". or "Brad and Angela's kids prosecuted for firearms offences".  Nothing is more guaranteed to fuck up a kid than a celeb with delusions of parenthood suitability.  ::)
