Ugh, a crossroad... which way do i go?

War 1 – Day 13
Our target has been smashed. The goal of 500m in damages has well and truly been achieved, a lot quicker than expected too.

Deaths:        10
ISK Lost:     54,549,897

Kills:        17
ISK Destroyed:     532,808,166

So as far as we are concerned we are done. We can officially retract the war when the contractor gets in touch.

There are a few things that could happen now. We are either offered more money, the contract is closed, or we are offered a new target. Not sure what way the pendulum will swing on this one, as we estimated it would last about 5 weeks, this is currently only going nearly 2. most notably to the addition of Dawood to our ranks which helped deal with a few expensive ships.

We will be refusing a new target regardless. Merc work is a bit boring with all the limitations and such. So last night when we hit the quota we were discussing what to move on too after the war, maybe setting our sights on low-sec to see what that is like. Best way to learn PvP would be to get into a PvP environment, which is null-sec or low-sec.

Loved this war however, as it’s helped us learn how to handle our ships, kit them up, manoeuvring and such. We also been trying a bit of organised fleet stuff as well, working well so far, by keeping our ranks tight. Of course it didn’t start well, people were listening to the wrong instructions and such. Teamwork is key for survival! :D

So yeah, we are now over our quota, will still engage the targets at my leisure however until the war is retracted. It was a drake, gf JaFyx. Not too badly set up, but thanks to the firepower from Dawood’s typhoon we were able to break its shields quickly. Ugly ship, don’t like it, and I’ve been shunned by rustles and Dawood for favoring the tempest over it on team speak, but I admit that it sure packs a punch.

The amount of conversations I had to deal with yesterday after this kill was ridiculous. Had the public channel from icoll, local, and 2 private convos! And team speak on top of this to boot! Was like i was drunk in most convos; “huh?” “Eh?” “What you saying?” “Um... no?”

So, business as usual for the moment. Hope to hear back later tonight as to what we can do.

ps
I probably missed some things that happened, was wrecked when it all happened and is all just a memory now as i thought sleep would help :D
