I don’t have to introduce Seismic Stan to you. Every time you read a blog banter or visit Freeboted you can read his great columns. Stan has organized an event last sunday, because we all think Vagabond needs its frills back. Or ears. Or solar panels. Whatever you call them, Vagabond is incomplete without them. So Stan has organized a protest: Thukk you, frill me! July 15th protest
I could not miss an event like this, so I have quickly made some preparation (fitting a Stabber, jumping to the combat clone) and went straight off to Jita. Of course I was there earlier, because I didn’t want to miss all the fun.
I have X-ed up in RvB Ganked channel, because the protest was turned by the well known RvB FC Mangala Solaris into a “Ganked night” event.
Fleet meet up was in the New Caldari system. When I arrived there, it looked like this:
Then we went to Jita, spamming local with “Thukk You, Frill Me!” and “RvB Spike!” kind of messages.
Our first target was the monument at Jita 4-4:
There was a flashy red -7.5 in a Typhoon undocking from 4-4 station and docking back in when someone dug into his armor. Some fleet member suggested to try and gank him, but unfortunately majority of the ships were fitted with ACs, and without artillery it would be nearly impossible to kill a plated Typhoon.
Unfortunately at this point my real life pulled the plug… But fear not, others were there until the very end. Make sure to check these posts to see how the protest continued:
