Python recruitment drive.

So the King of Penis Larsypoo has requested that everyone who has a blog to make a shout out about our recent recruitment drive.



Actual picture of Lars

So here is my shout out!

Python has been around for nearly 3 years now (including original python) and our current variation has been round for over a year and were still as hard as ever.

Few things about our corp:

- We smack.. alot. If you don't like smack, we definitely aren't for you.
- We prioritize fun over everything else. If your a serious player who wants to win 100% of the time and don't like fails... we again.. aren't for you.
- Regular ops commanded by mostly drunk Fleet commanders.
- Small to medium gang warfare. We hardly ever blob. Most gangs have <10

What we are looking for:

- Moar EU/AUS pilots. Prio on EU.
- Pilots with a sense of humour
- Able to use vent and a mic (mic isn't mandatory, but very very encouraged)
- Activity. Don't bother joining if you log on once a month
- Pilots with initiative. Not pilots who just expect everything done for them. Going out soloing or forming your own gangs is very very encouraged.
- A little experience will go a long way. But if your app is good, and you seem like a good fit, we are willing to show you the ropes.
- We don't have a set SP requirement. Alot of our best pilots have been rifter noobs. We judge a character on attitude and experience, not how many SPs they have.


All that I need to do now is provide a link! here it is: http://www.swingnews.org/python/forum/index.php?board=3.0

Good luck!

You mad You gay?

So a long time ago, a guy called Griznatle used to be in the same corp as us. Readers of Spectre's blog may remember him. For those who dont know him, basically hes the most annoying shit in the entire of EvE. Doesn't post his losses, constantly talks over people, screams on vent like a girl and pretty much just thinks he's the proverbial shit. When in reality hes the worst player in EvE who has never got a solo kill in his life. After he left the corp, he joined Heretics, then Advocates of Sin.

Anyway! History lesson over. Today we went on a little roam down to good ol' Amamake in a bunch of tanked battlecruisers. We decided to simply just sit in the top belt and wait for the blob. Sure enough, the blob came in the form of Minimatar faction warfare and with a few losses we destroyed nearly thier entire fleet.

There was much rejoicing, and as we were about to leave the belt, and return home, an Armagedden belonging to Advocates of Sin warped in at zero. I was FC again, so I just told everyone to cancel thier warps and kill the Gedden.

We opened fire.... and in came the blob + ECM. They claim to be "pro-pvpers" in thier corp description, yet they just smash a bunch of battlecruisers with a bunch of battleships and ECM. Not to mention a gang boosting titan at a pos nearby.

But its cool. We all blob sometime, and we all want the killmails. So off we went home in our pods.

When we got home Twicedasize came up with the idea to camp our new High sec gate in Resbroko. It was pretty queit, but we did manage to get a few kills.

We were sitting in our ninja when our cloaky falcon on the gate told us that there was a blinky Advocates of Sin Maller on the gate. I warped my shiney new Vigilant to the gate, followed by the rest of the gang and proceeded to tear the Maller a new one.

His tank was good, and as he hit armor.... he lit a cyno!

I immediatly told everyone to get the hell off the gate, and get the hell off the gate we did... in came the Titan bridge. In came the battleships and.... nothing. They managed to point nobody and we all managed to get out without even a scratch.

Smack ensued:

So! YOU MAD? YOU GAY?

Fleet Commander Andrea Skye.

When I first joined The Python Cartel. I pretty much accepted the fact I'd never FC a gang. I always used to let Golden Helmet or Inertial do it. They would lead us all to death and glory in our T1 frigs and we would return home in our pods quite happy.

Recently tho, most of our regular FC's have became slightly inactive. This is a problem in any corp, as most decent gangs need an FC to keep everyone organised during fights/roams.

So, the past few weeks, I have been kinda pushed into the FC role. Mostly because everyone else is lazy as shit, or too drunk to speak properly over the comms.

My FC-ing has actually been pretty terrible. Half of the time we all end up dieing fiery deaths, and the other half the time we end up not getting a fight at all.

Well last night, I was once again pushed into the FC role, and we set out to roam around our rather quiet area. We were flying a pretty mixed gang, of Battlecruisers and T2 cruisers. Half were nano-ed and half were not. I explained to those who were not nano-ed my current track record, and told them that they were most likely going to be blown to a thousand pieces. But they wasn't phased... they simply just told me to hurry up and get the roam started!

So off we went. First we went off to Gademon, where our nearest neighbours hang out. They are called The Alpha and the Omega and we have have some pretty decent fights with them in the past.

With our Scout bot 9000 series Necio's voice exhibitors offline (his microphone was broke), Golden Helmet was set as role as scout, in what was actually MY Rapier. I had told him to be extra careful with it, as it was really well fit with a Faction disruptor. I knew as I was saying "DON'T GET IT BLOWN UP PLZ!" that is was a futile task. Golden Helmet is a solid pilot but hes also the most suicidal person in EvE. He would cyno his Carrier into a fleet of Dradnoughts just get a Bantam kill.

Anyway, GH scouted around looking for something to crush just ahead of us, and sadly found nothing but a Myrmidon and Harbinger, sitting on a high sec gate, who jumped the moment they saw us.

So I told everyone to set their destination to another system nearby called Antem, where a group of pilots live belonging to Chains of Chaos alliance (CoC from now on. Yes, their really called CoC)

Along the way we saw a Myrm and a Hurricane who also jumped back into high sec the moment they saw our numbers in the local channel. I hate high sec PvP'ers with a passion.

We continued to Antem and once we arrived we set ourselves up on the Antem gate. We sent Golden Helmet in to look around and tried to lure CoC out for a fight. While we were waiting on the gate a CoC catalyst jumped past us and saw everything we had.

CoC would no doubt gather the blob and my suspicions were confirmed when one of our scouts noticed a large CoC gang right behind us. I quickly decided that fighting them on a gate on the home system would be pretty stupid, so we decided to simply get out the way before the BS gang arrived and flattened us.

We quickly got out of local and headed further down the pipe. But while we were jumping we noticed that the CoC gang were following us. Quickly assessing the situation I figured that if we sat on the gate as they jumped though, got into our optimal ranges... we would have a decent advantage, as they would all be spread out and unable to remote rep, and we would be in perfect position to at least kill a few of them.

Their scout jumped through into us and quickly cloaked in his bomber. We waited a minute or two, and to our joy we saw the gate fire and local spike a little. It seemed the trip from Antem had actually spread them out a bit, giving us even more of an advantage.

Primaries were called the CoC ships started to explode One by One. First went one of the bombers who warped in abit to close, next a Dominix, then a Mega. We were losing our non-Nano ships as they made an easy Primary sitting right next to the CoC gang. My Gila was pretty safe, and I easily outrun a bunch of Ogre IIs that someone had put on me. I tried my best to keep up with Fc-ing and call both secondary and primary targets while keeping my ship outta harms way.

CoC kept sending more people, only to be destroyed by our now mostly nano gang (non nano-s were already dead) and we slowly picked them off. Eventually CoC decided to cut their losses and de-agress, then jump back into the previous system escaping.

Overall we lost 6 battlecruisers and killed 12 ships, 4 of them Battleships and one Ashimmu. We were slightly outnumbered and had smaller ships than CoC but somehow we managed to hold the field in the end. The amount of loot we received afterwards covered most of our losses with insurance so it really wasn't so bad.

My Fc-ing it seems has gone from getting the whole gang killed, to only getting HALF the gang killed. Definitely an improvement! :D

PS. I forgot to turn on fraps (seem to do that alot)

Wednesday 2 June 2010

Lights, Camera, Action!

So after watching Htrags new video (you can watch it here) I've finaly decided to go make my own. I've been planning on making one for a long time now but never really got round to it.

I havent rly got any footage yet, all I have is a few seconds of Lachesis' girlfriend going out for a refreshing drive in the country. I'm going to use it as an intermission.

So heres to running fraps with 20 fps and lots of losses to Falcons while trying to get good fights. Cheers!
