AU-NZ and Madness!!

So... EVE Online. :P Its here folks! I promised you I'd write something about it!

Now, as some of you know by now, I moved to Avenod. All of the stuffs. I have one ship in Molden Heath, just for 'it will always be home's sake. (Thanks to max and the guys for that move ^.^). This means, yes... I have joined Convicts and Savages- the AU-NZ tz corp of the infamous alliance, Shadow Cartel. I am now a member of this illustiorous, albeit ragtag, tournament participating, POCO-bashing alliance full of awesome-seeming people. :)

While I haven't really done much in the big fleet category while settling in, (and the fact that I'm absolutely terrified of such a thing) and getting to know my corp and alliance mates (sort of), I have done a few little ganking ops here and there, and today had a brief roam type thing in frigates- which I had to leave only a few jumps out cause me and mum decided to go to the beach on this beautiful Australia Day public holiday, but we did kill a SCARY incursus!!! XD.

I love the laid back attitude of most of the people I've met so far :) Yes there's bound to be someone I'll butt heads with at some point, but everyone I've talked to or heard on comms seems to be a pleasant, happy, helpful and friendly guy (and/or one girl) who enjoys the game and, while wanting to have that green kb, always tries to do the best that they can with what they have.

The corp itself, AU-NZ being the ticker, is an interesting bunch, most of which are indeed living up to the name we've been given :P More the savages side really, but fun none-the-less. ^.^ Hehhe. I never gave a thought to the difference between my American friends and their 'comms culture, I'm gonna dub it, the EU's and their comms culture, and my dear old Aussies culture. It really does feel great just being able to come on comms, joke about something, have some of that funny coarse humour that makes Australia so unique, and then all just chillin around doing some (as its been dubbed) LEET PVP- more commonly known as gate camping :P Or ganking, depending on the mood XD

In all honesty though, we're gonna be having some more roams soon, and its gonna be great. Poor Ohm's (<3 Ohm's) tried organising a couple of fleets a couple of Sunday's in a row, and both times there was another fleet that overlapped with the time, or just plain and simple no one on. But we're gonna just roam out whenever (like today, when we were sitting on comms and Ohm's was in a frigate just wandering around and we said 'fuck it, lets all get frigs and join him and kill some shit' :P). Sidenote- I missed flying my slasher. Feels sorta weird though. So used to the Jag's MWD and long point!

As for fleets coming up, nudge nudge wink wink to Ohm's- I has a PoHAC Thorax all fitted up... :P

Anyways, on a more general note, the difference between the alliances/corps I have been a part of so far, and of this new, much bigger alliance didn't really seem that apparent, until I look on forums and see the team for the alliance tournament sign ups, the participation in a massive fleet with RvB and Tuskers, the new eden open being talked about as a possibility.... its crazy! So many things I always heard about and watched, but never really thought about! And peers of mine- new friends, and doing these things! Even Ohm's was offered a spot on the Alliance Tournie team! Someone I know pretty well. It's all close to me now, and I admit, I'm sorta excited to have someone to actually go for during the AT. XD It's gonna be good! GO SHADOW CARTEL!!

I'm very excited for what the future has in store, and I'm gonna finish it off here with the Shadow Cartel theme song (not sure if its official :P) 'The Masters of Sing Laison'.

One a totally irrelated side thought, I was sorta dissapointed I missed the Stay Frosty Frig FFA. It was at like- 3am, and I was so tired. It sounded like lots of fun, and looked like it to from what I've seen and heard. Frigs ftw!

On another totally irrelated side thought, I need more jump clones. Two is totally not enough. One is in Avenod at the moment, the other in... I think its Lisb. I'll have to check that. But its somewhere in Essence (a new fave gank spot :P). Seriously though, I'd love to have another clone in Molden Heath, and another wherever 7-2 are (cause I love those guys and fleets are always fun ^.^). If anyone can help me out with this btw, I'd be much obliged :)

AUTHORS RANDOM IRRELATED SIDE NOTE: Diziet Thomas is an epic awesome help and full of awesomely good advice. He is a great FC, he always has my back, is always very nice and kind and enjoys my silly bounciness, so thanks and props to him for that :) It makes my EVE day a lot of the time. :)

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: I'm thinking of writing some EVE fiction, what do you reckon peeps? Whats should it be about? Also, should I or should I not post the BBC tv drama inspired screenplay I was working on featuring characters based off Peri Simone, Kaeda Maxwell and Vincent Ry'leh (or however ya spell his name XD), all of which helped me with it at some point while very drunk on comms :P? What do you think?
