A TEA POT AND NOVAKANE

Drinkin' Mai Tais, Singapore sling Beam me up Jim, it's time to come in I'll have one more afore ye close up the door It's on the house mac, it's whiskey galore We drink a lot, that demon drop This one's on me, here's mud in your eye Whiskey on the rocks A double or a shot Whiskey on the rocks Elixer from the top --AC/DC---Whiskey on the rocks

So my drunken readers I have a battle report from my latest solo roam and there was the tea pot incident. Yes we should all get the bottles out and fill the glasses for this one............

ALL IS NORMAL


The night started like most nights. Planet side requires my attention at 5:00 AM every morning so I was on a 3 hour time crunch. I logged in, whiskey in hand, and found myself in Lisbaetanne solar system. I gave the normal meet and greets in corp chat and watched local climb to 14. Always looking to pass judgement on pod pilots I undocked and went looking for trouble. Found none so I decided to go to Hevrice, home of the Tuskers, and stir the hornets nest a bit. I should get a fight. Nope. Nothing but AFK Tuskers. Oh well back to Lisbaetanne. (Pause Roam)

THE TEA POT AND THE BULL

Lhorenzho logs in. There was a time when R1FTA's US time zone was made up of just Lhorenzho and your favorite Judge. This might lead you the reader to think we are a bit out numbered by our fellow Rebels across the big water. You would be right. I have discovered that Brits love their tea and this is a long standing tradition. I respect this as we Texans have many traditions of our own. Tradition is good. Tea is good.....with whiskey of course. It seems Miura Bull (the Boss) loves his tea time as i am sure many of you do. This is a good thing. It seems that tea drinking Brits sometimes have more than one tea pot. This seems like a good thing. I'm good with this so far...............

NOVAKANE

NovaKane Incorporated is owned and operated by maybe the the most famous and legendary solo pirate in New Eden. The mighty Kane Rizzel. I started reading Mr. Rizzels blog about 1 1/2 years ago before there was a Judge Sarn and I have read all of his posts. Not only a master of the solo kill, he is a master of the written word unlike the drunken gibberish you read here. When I created the Judge and set him off to learn Kane's art of the solo kill I set some goals. One of which was to some day battle this most respected pirate. Kane Rizzel is one of the reasons I am RED.  (continue roam)

Docked in Lisbaetanne and a bit overloaded with talk of tea and teapots with fucking coats on them I was just about ready to call it a night. Then the Boss started talking about the gangs he was seeing that would not fight him and Lhorenzho had a kill or two in Molden Heath so I decided to Jump to my home clone in Heild. Waking in the goo of my old clone I see a member of RANSM in local but by the time I can restart my shit from the jump and grab a Rifter he is gone.

I told the Boss it was my bedtime but I was going to go next door and poke RANSM in the side and see if I could at least get my Rifter blown up before I went to sleep. I grab a shield Rifter and into Bosena I jump and warp to my top belt scan spot. Checking local and who do I see? My idol and pirate mentor Kane Rizzel. If I was going to lose a Rifter I can't think of a better person to lose it to.

I got my fight and for me it was the greatest Rifter v Rifter fight I have had to date. I will never forget my first fight with Mr. Rizzel. I am sure he will not remember it in a week as I was just one of thousands that he has fought but for me it meant something. He is a class act and a great guy. To my surprise the shield Rifter was the right ship for this fight so I will leave you with one more chat log.
