The killing begins

The 2nd chronicle

I made it to the mythical Basgerin (I would say god-forsaken, but there was a god there, in the name of the Basgerin Pirates). Waiting for me was a few Vexors, Thoraxes, and Incursus. I immediately started my training. I hopped into my Vexor (I realized this was the ship for me soon after, on the advise of a BP06 (short for Basgerin Pirate) named Sei. I never used a Thorax or Incursus after that. rezell started teaching me things I needed to know, such as scanning, and other things. This helped me out a lot, getting me some decent kills (when you start, people don't expect you to kill them and that makes it easier). I also got help from preiviously mentioned Sei, Meskalin, A Lunchbox (lol), and Ashmyd. Everyone contributed to my training. Within my first week, many things came at me fast, heres the list: I got my first completely solo very expensive kill and pod, lost my first Vexor as a pirate, and made many new enemies. First the Vexor loss, I lost it to a guy named JerichoSteele, for a kinda dumb reason. Like an impatient noob, I was bored and randomly wasting my ammo blowing up wrecks and getting global criminal. Jericho, seeing my less than decent sec stat, decided to pop me. I begged for my life in local (something I think is acceptable to this day if it will save your ship) but he popped me, not noticing I was less than a week old. To those interested, this was the chat in local (he still has this in his bio to this day): 
JerichoSteele > lunchbox!
Osiris Anubis > wait
Osiris Anubis > wait
Osiris Anubis > im in his corp
Osiris Anubis > dude wait
Osiris Anubis > im with him
Osiris Anubis > plz just listen
He invited me into his corp channel to talk about making the right decisions and other bullshit, and thats where a ship builder (whose name I do not remember but want to thank) convoed me and gave me a brand new Vexor. His reason was this: without you pirates, my business would be meaningless, so thank you for doing what you do (or something along those lines). Well, I continued on my pirating journey, unfazed because rezell had told me this would happen, a lot. To those curious, I got Jericho back for what he did (multiple times), with the help of my friends from BP06. On to the next big happening, I popped and podded a guy in a hulk! I was less than a week old, and this is still my biggest solo kill to this day, this guy lost a super expensive ship to a noob like me! Well I am still excited about that kill, it was great, and thats what pilots play for. I got a lot of other small ships after that, and lost a few Vexors as well. I slowly advanced in my pirating career, with every kill my heart beat so loud I could hear it, and my blood was rushing through my body. I would start shaking on every big kill, so much, that sometimes, I couldn't even type. I still get all of those symptoms, the symptoms of PAD, PVP Addiction Disorder. I love what I do to this day, along with the hate mail and threats in local. I love it when people hunt me, and try to scan me down, I have many many safe spots in my homeland, and if you find one, I delete it and make 2 more. To those who will try, good luck. A while after flying with BP06, I was voted in, and became part of the corp that had been my calling since I had started the game, Basgerin Pirates. I was immediately invited into the channels of our allies, and started hunting with them within the first few hours of my acceptance into BP06. I met and became friends with our co-pirates, the people we are friends with and fight with. And to think, I started out as a noob, a carebear, a miner. Even now, as a god of death in many low sec areas, I still consider myself rezell's apprentice. I may be young, but I have killed many older pilots, and if you have the balls to come to our domain, I invite you. 

(More chronicles soon to come)

The first days as a god of death

The 1st chronicle

Fuck this. Those were my thoughts as I began my mining career, Fuck this! I had just started Eve-online, now that I look back, I was a noob, a carebear, a miner (the most damning word of all). I had started EVE after my friend had showed it to me, just to pass the time. I had started mining because it was easy, and I hoped to make some good money off it. I never realized how boring it would be. So then I tried some missioning on my mining character (the name is confidential), that was tough because I was trying level 4 missions, in a destroyer with all my friends, they kept me well repped, but I still didn't know what I was doing. It was fun, but I had never tried PVP in EVE at that point. Everything was about to change. After a while of training my miner for combat, I realized it would be easier to start a new character, a fighting character. I made one, didn't like him, threw him away, made another and liked him. I remember my exact thoughts then, I'll name him after the Egyptian gods of death, Osiris and Anubis, at that point I thought I was gonna become a mission runner,  so I thought even though those are cool names, they don't apply to me... man was I wrong! So I get on my new character and do some little level 1 missions to get started, and watch the recruit channels, and advertise myself. I was looking for a fun way to make money, again I was stuck on the money idea in this game, I should have been playing for fun, but in all the other games I have ever played, money is life. Less so in eve. I was looking through the babel of recruitment spiels, when I saw one that got me a little excited. This one was from a rezell, and about becoming a pirate. Unlike any other, he didn't spam it or repeat it. He sent it once, and that was it. I was intrigued, even though I don't remember the exact post, it was something about taking on apprentices, and to message him. Like the carebear i was, I immediately tried to convo him, rejected. Then I read his message again and read the part about auto-rejecting convos... NOOB! I sent him a message, and he replied to me, man at this point I was sweating so bad, I was talking to a pirate, A PIRATE! I was still a carebear at that point and this was my first encounter with one, I had head about them before this, but never had been bothered by one. He sent me this cryptic message about bringing mods to a place called Basgerin, and he would start my training. I talked to a friend and he didn't know what rezell meant at that point, I though he meant mods as in rigs, and I couldn't use those. I was confused and thought I should ask questions, but then thought maybe it was a test, I didn't know what was up. So I was invited into a pirate channel, and started asking questions (while making a terrible setup for a ship). A guy in the channel told me I would have to 1v1 a much older player, this was Meskalin, and he was kidding. So I got my horrible setup together (not even equipped on the ship yet) and started on my journey to Basgerin in my Celestis. On the way there, I was auto-piloting and had walked up to my computer to check on it, and as it turned out I was in low-sec getting blown up... fuck my life. Well like the carebear I was, I cussed out the guy and then joined his corp channel, and cussed out him corp CEO and the entire corp as well, fun times. I never really apologized for that, so this counts as one in my book: my bad. So I kept on my way, shipless and pissed, not realizing this was exactly what I would be doing in the future.
