RVB Ganked: Not Just for Xmas!!!

[Mangala Solaris]

This Rhea:



Was AFK drifting way off a station in our hisec meetup. So we went from surrounding him with RR cruisers to suiciding him with mostly dessies.

Edit: beated by Mang while faffing with editing

There once was a Rhea in space,
who'd drifted right off his home base;
a Ganked gank fleet was formed,
of sec hits they were warned;
then they busted a nut in his face...

The End

Some other pics, my camera looking at the JR of course reset upon explosion
I might yet edit the ~90secs vid but I don't have the audio, and others said they had the thing recorded.

Also, the comms pre-gank kinda made me think of this classic

[Mangala Solaris]

And I wrote a short aar of the roam. Still waiting on more fraps to appear of more than just the Rhea gank.

I'll have details of our Easter Sunday very long multipart roam later.

Ganked 67: MAX PCU

Date: Sunday 5th May 2013

Time: 14.00 EVE/UTC (Form up from 13.00 EVE/UTC)

Theme: Assault Frigates, Frigates & Dessies

Meetup: Rens / Uanzin

Comms: Mumble

Ingame Channel: RvB Ganked

This, the 67th numbered Ganked roam, and 72nd in total, will be both roaming around looking for pew & taking part in the Flight of a Thousand Rifters III event when the target system for that is announced. We will ensure - as part of the roam - that we have 2 or more hulls moved to the target lowsec system for the NYX event. We all want to be on a Nyx kill now dont we?! Once the Nyx is down, and the system is cleared of no doubt a ton of suspects, we will then go back to roaming around nullsec. This event is part of a move to get EVE's HIGHEST EVER PCU total the day before the game itself turns 10 years old. So tell your friends, family, enemies, colleagues and even your pets to log in their eve accounts that day and get involved in setting a record at the start of the 2nd decade of EVE Online.
