SNIPE!
If MM is jumping ship, are they leaving Brick to fight PL/ evoke/rdn?
Killing in lowsec is kickable.. what kind of alliance does that shit?! All it means is if you want to Hotdrop MM just park your neut in a cyno ship and wait.

What makes me laugh is that Fear THINKS she is one of the cool people, It's probably that thing Ripley Weaver or could it be possible it is even worse than half male half female? (If you can try get a look at what Ripley looks like in RL then you will see the funny part as well)
Sorry, I got drunk on Friday night, and when I woke up it was Monday morning and I was at work. Oops. I wasn't drinking Fosters in case anyone asks - no one drinks that rat-piss.
So today's one I'll keep short because :words: and frankly, I can't be arsed today.
Today's Australian Deathanimal of Doom of the Day: The Blue-Ringed Octopus
Ok, so strictly speaking this animal isn't confined to Australia, but it's fairly well concentrated around the southern part of the east-coast, compared to the other parts of the Pacific. The Blue-Ringed Octopus (BRO for short) is a chill dude, he likes to hang around in rockpools and eat shit, like crab, shrimp, and fish, and they don't go after people in the surf or anything like that. They just wanna sit there and get fat and hang out, but unfortunately humans are fucking retarded and like to poke around rock pools and grab shit. Moreso, not only do they grab shit, they like grabbing shiny shit.
So when they're poking around they agitate the BRO and he lights up his rings blue to try and warn things off, because in the animal world, when something changes colour, that means that you need to get the fuck away, but humans are stupid and so they think the blue means... well, I dunno, but it's shiny and they keep their hands in the rock pool.
So then the octopus gives them a bite with the beak, and then probably fucks off away somewhere to eat more fish and generally just be a BRO, and the human goes away and probably doesn't even notice they've been bitten.
And then you realise that you're having trouble moving. And then you realise you're having trouble breathing. Because what the BRO has just jabbed you with is a neurotoxin that blocks sodium channels, which means electrical impulses can't really get through to the cells. If you get hit with a strong enough dose (BROs carry enough venom to kill 26 humans) then what happens is you lose all motor function which includes breathing, BUT you're still wide awake whilst paralysed. Basically you're going to lie there and die and there's nothing you can do about it because the venom doesn't get metabolised by the body for around 4-8 hours.
You can try and kick and scream but you won't be able to do anything, even blink. I'm not sure if it'll stop your heart but there's a pretty good chance of that if you get hit with a big dose I think?
Obviously this is fantastic for when the BRO is stabbing fish because you get the freshness of a live meal without that awkward struggling which can really put you off your food, but for humans trying to breathe it's not going to be so great.
Now you can be saved if someone's willing to perform rescue breathing on you for about 4-6 hours until the toxin wears off and you can breathe on your own again - this is made easier if there's a resuscitation bag + mask, so all you have to do is sit there and pump a bottle for that time, until an ambulance gets you to a hospital at least. It's possible to do rescue breaths for 4 hours but if you're not a hot chick I don't like your chances of me going for more than a couple of minutes.
Yes, it theoretically could stop the heart, but "lack of breathing" will do it first anyway. An acquaintance of mine got bit by a BRO a few years back, while visiting that god forsaken land of yours. Barely survived because his gf (now wife) is a doctor and didn't mind giving him rescue breathing untill the ambulance arrived.

"Every rifter counts friend" - VR
you have to be pretty stupid to get bitten. They are ratehr risk adverse and you really need to piss them off (treading on them does it) to get bitten.
I've only seen one in my lifetime, and i have been to the beach and gone through the rock pools many times.
There is no such thing as NRDS. There is only "fire at that ship over there," and "reload."
Fuck. I really need to check if I was replying to a post at the end of a page in the future. Whatever.
Some friend of mine got stung two months ago snorkeling off the coast of Jamaica. Word on the street had it that pissing on the sting wound would help relieve the pain.
So far I've come to the conclusion that Australia is a place I'll never willingly visit.
The moon starts to look barren enough to visit, no BRO-fish out there.
My friends laugh at me when I say I don't like swimming in the ocean, and I just look down and sigh, as it is I who will have to attend the funerals when its all said and done.
Fuck the ocean.
Wasn't that tom clancy? Well, he did it too at least. Except it was something that stopped your heart as well.
Anyway the point of all this posting is that Aussie bogans have a saying: "Fuck Off, We're Full" and I'm doing my part to make sure no one else comes into the country![]()
Seriously it's a nice country and I haven't come close to being killed by the local flora for AT LEAST a year.
I saw a group of 5-7 YO's playing in the rock pools of my local beach last year. I wandered over to see what they had found and they had a little blue ring under the water. It was happily walking over there hand then too there friends. He was P chilled out wasn’t lit up or anything. I have seen them light up though and it didn’t take too much more than what the kids were doing.
I talk to people who live in the US and the stories of Bears and Timber wolves scare me more than any land based animal in Australia no matter how many legs it has and Califonia has a huge Great white population so id say its all on par in the ocean aswell.
Of course we have sensible gun laws so that makes AU much safer.
I dissaprove of this thread, because the op is a SNIPER FAGGOT

Or a polar bear. Those things actively hunt people. Good thing in [s]America[/s] Alaska when we have a problem like that we send our kids to the bus stop with rifles to stop that shit.
The ocean is just like nullsec or lowsec. Know the rules and bring the appropriate mods and you'll be fine. HTFU nubslice. I've been stranded at 140 feet with nothing but my wits and a vaguely inquisitive tiger shark, and it ended up being no big thing. It's doable, man, don't hate on the ocean, hate on the retards that spam it.
The ocean is 'scary' because of how fucking huge/unexplored/unmapped it is.
and stuff like this:

Just one of the many reasons water scares the shit out of me.
You can't tell me not to be afraid of whats in it, because factually, we have no fucking idea whats in it.
If you point to a shrub or bush, even a forest, or a large land mass, you can definitely point out whats going to be there, and whats not, yes, I understand that new life is discovered every year in different areas, but for the most part, the big shit is out there in the open, we know what it is.
There isn't a 40 foot fucking squid washing up somewhere, or a shark jawbone big enough to fit grown ass men inside:

Basically fuck you until its all well lit and I know for 100% certain everything that lives in it over the size of a small dog.
Crap, it's the Great Old Ones snoring.

The Bloop is probably whale farts.
Okei the whales are snoring/farting but so am I vOv no biggie. How is Delve today?
Did RAWR finally say it out loud "Fuck Delve", or are big ships moving to Kheram still business as usual?
How is Brick taking these news? I see they had a lots of meetings yesterday...
Goons moving to M2 to start another round in operation freeport Delve.
Interesting times ahead![]()
I think H P Lovecraft is slightly less nerdy than Klingon speak, but I could be wrong
I saw on a David Attenborough, these humpback whales were hunting together.
They made a curtain of bubbles to trap a huge shoal of fish, then one whale came up from below and blasted them with a noise that measured at 190 decibels!! to scare them to the surface
That may not be as loud as the bloop, but it's louder than a rocket taking off and fucking impressive.
Relevant quote I came across on a forum a while back:
"FUCK the entire ocean, I swear to god. What's even worse is that there is still a ton of life down there that we have never discovered. You know why Cthulhu sleeps beneath the waves? Because fuck the ocean, that's why."
Look all in all it's unlikely that you'll ever see a BRO, let alone stand on one and then come face to face with your own mortality in an extremely direct way, like being buried alive.
you are so cute when theorizing about what two corps are doing near provi, maybe that "dont kill things in lowsec" mail is in any way connected to this... hmmm oh wait http://mv-corp.com/kb2/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=26275 and http://mv-corp.com/kb2/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=26297
evil mv is killing stuff in lowsec and people in 1dh go on barricades.
also fuck the sea, i hate jellyfish that shit makes me go all ughhhh everytime i wanna swim in the sea.
Are you sure about that? http://kb.overplayed.de/?a=kill_related&kll_id=4616
our activity in fleets seem fine to me.
In news that should come as a surprise to noone, that PVP powerhouse of Eve, that bastion of "goodfites," Starfleet Enterprises has boldly gone where basically everyone goes when the going gets tough: the other side. I welcome the chance to get on the anticipated Fiberton super killmail at some point.

What alliance did they swap to? I can't access dotlan at work.
"It pains me to say it but you are a good poster." - Vonq
the exalted RED.Legion
I too can't access dotlan at work, but who is Red.legion? Is that RAs renters or something?
If you kill enough of them they stop fighting - Gen. Curtis Lemay
Fear the KKM
I don't think they actually rent, but they are RA pets. Own a few outposts and a bunch of sov in Detorid.
Joining the winning side just as they start to lose.
:starfleet:
Oh god you really just pulled that card..?
Oh awesome we get to kill them again in Omist.
They have an article on the RA main website or something,
RED.Legion is basically just the Non-Russian wing of Red Alliance..
Which makes them pets
Although when i first saw them take sov months ago i just assumed "Red Alliance and Legion of xxdeathxx made a joint renter alliance?"
