My Loot, Your Tears

Hello readers. Paul, Captain Charismatic and myself have been tickled silly by the mail we receive about My Loot, Your Tears – nearly all of it enthusiastic and positive. We’ve also gotten a number of conversation requests from fans – thanks all!

By way of thanks, here are some of the letters we’ve received:

Hey,

Keep up the good work with your blog My Loot, Your Tears. That’s some pretty great stuff (even though I’m a miner and mission runner myself). I really liked how you pointed out the stupidity of that phalanx warriorII guy, that guy was a complete idiot. Anyways, keep up the good work, and give us some more interesting articles to read, and if you happen to pass through Ikami, I’ll make sure to not run missions while you’re around :)

Good day,
FifDSeven

Hey I thought it was hilarious yesterday when you messed with my mission space. I wasn’t expecting you to come back and kick our asses haha.

Props. I might start doing that it looked fun. I bet people never see it coming.

I read your stuff every day and I just wanted to say it is both well written and quite amusing. Keep it up!

and

Outstanding. I like mostly the short stories of your daily loots and awesome kills you get. I started reading because of Capsuleer but now I regularly surf your blog on the site itself along with the others from capsuleer. To tell the truth I’ve learned a lot about PVP just from reading how you do it and the tactics you and your fellow mates use.

On behalf of Paul and myself, we thank everyone who helped to get us included in the Eve Online Blog Pack.

According to Paul, the number of unique hits per day has risen from around 100 to 200. \o/

CrazyKinux is reworking the Eve Blog Pack. I’ve never actively advertised this blog, but I feel it’s of sufficient quality to be included in this list. If you enjoy MLYT and want to make sure that the griefer perspective is included in the Blog Pack, please go see CrazyKinux’s post and ask that we be included. Thanks.

I’ve recently installed a Sitemeter widget (wow, averaging 175 unique IP visitors a day!) and have been seeing lots of referrals coming from corp and alliance forums that I can’t view without a login. If someone in your corp has posted a link to my site and it gave you lulz, posting a shout-out from your crew would really, REALLY make my day. I’m thrilled when other people enjoy reading these things as much as I enjoy making them.

Also, I killed a missionbear last night and another tonight. I’ll blog about them at least briefly soon. That makes three missionbear battleships in as many days. How long will I be able to keep this up? Maybe I could start a charity where you could sponsor a Jerk, kind of like the March of Dimes, but for hurting people.

A lot of times I think that soon I’ll get to the point where most kills won’t be interesting, but so far there’s always something new and different in every engagement. I hope you aren’t bored yet… I know that I’m not!

Short and to the point: I have resigned my directorship at Suddenly Ninjas and struck out to form a smaller, more mobile, more focused griefing corp, Honorless Internet Jerks.

Right now, I am the only member. Part of the reason for this is that I haven’t advertised at all, and part of the reason is that I’ve made it clear that I won’t be hiring any Ninja until December. This is to keep them from acting in a hasty manner, as well as giving me time to get some distance from Ninjas and figure out how exactly I’m going to structure this thing.

I consider myself to have left on excellent terms at a high point in the popularity and effectiveness of the corp. The war with Deadspace Society ended with at least five corps pounding on them until they lost over 40% of their membership. I am and will continue to be a friend of Suddenly Ninjas.

Why did I leave? In part it was because I had bitten off more than I could chew in the corp, and found myself working to ensure that everyone got along and had a good time so much that I missed the part where I was supposed to get along and have a good time. I want to play this game in a way that will “introduce PVP” to as many carebears as possible, and I believe that the best way to do that is to form a tight-knit small (no more than 20) group of dedicated, self-reliant griefers. I’ll have more details eventually in the form of a recruitment post.

The other bloggers who post here will continue to post, regardless of their affiliation. They are my friends, and do not have to be corpmates to be able to share those great carebear tears.

If you’re a friend of mine and are interested in joining (and are not a current member of Suddenly Ninjas) then I would love to talk to you. Otherwise, stay tuned for more tales of making missionrunners very sad.

This morning I found over 700 spam comments on Khalia’s lastest post. Poor guy probably opened his email, saw the number of notifications, and closed it without looking at them.

I installed/configured Akismet and spam-canned all the comments in that post, but apparently that ended up taking out most of the other comments on the site, as well. So I skimmed the 800ish comments and un-spammed the legitimate ones. All should be working correctly now. If you have any trouble with comments not appearing, send me an eve-mail in-game.

I also tweaked what was formerly a single-author template so that the author name will show up.
