Tas and I were hunting. I was bait at the outpost. A smaller frigate type ship comes in. I think he was yellow. He targeted me, and then went red. I warp jammed and opened fire. Tas was incoming. I was hitting him and his shields were gone asap. Then he kicked on his micro warp drive and BLASTED out of my warp jam range. He was at 50% armor and about 32k away from me in like 10 seconds. Just as he left, another came in. I announced his name on GV and started locking and stuff. He was flashing red as he came in. Here's my impression of Tas on GV at this point. We'll pretend the bad guys name is Murvian:
"What's Murvian flying?"
half a second pause
"What's Murvian flying?"
half a second pause
"What's Murvian flying?"
half a second pause
"What's Murvian flying?"
half a second pause
"What's Murvian flying?"
half a second pause
"What's Murvian flying?"
half a second pause
"What's Murvian flying?"
I was trying to figure out who was who and where he was so I could SEE what he was flying!! Finally saw it and told him. Also during this time, a second person came in. So, I had one red guy targeting me, Tas drilling me for ship type info, then a second red guy coming in targeting me. All this after chasing some other guy away. Anyway, I tell him what it is and he says.
"That's *something (don't remember)* Get out! GET OUT NOW!!" Ummmm ya. All the time spent trying to figure out what he was flying gave him PLENTY of time to lock and jam me!! Oh, by the way, we are trying out a new ship load. And it doesn't include WCS for me (first time ever in PvP). So, I ain't goin' no where. Tas gets on the scene and jams the first one he locks on. He announces "He's jammed GO GO GO GO!!!". "I can't!" I reply. Murvian's got me jammed. Tas says he'll jam him then. I'm lined up on something rapid firing the right click, warp to, option. He says in a really excited voice "HE JAMMED! GO! GO! GO! GO!". I right click, warp again, and off I go. I let him know and he warps out right behind me.
Most excited and hyper I've heard Tas ever, in PvP. Was quite entertaining. Turns out, they weren't doing any damage at all to me. Well, nothing that was disturbing. Hadn't even turned on my shield booster yet. Was at like 90% shields when I warped. They must have been using the wrong kind of ammo, or something. At the same time, Tas had the wrong jammer types loaded for the ships they were flying. Him getting two jams in a row on those ships was EXTREMELY lucky. Along with all that, there were other bad guys in the system. So, there may have been even more on the way. The Aliance the attackers were in alegedly post alot of videos about their kills as well. So, pretty experienced. But, we got away.
The encounter that we scored our kills in:
I was bait at an outpost. One guy comes in, and targets me. It's a caracal (I answered Tas after about the fouth query!). Tas says "Definately fight him". Then another warps in, and locks on me. Tas is on his way. It's a destroyer. No problem . . The caracal was there first, and so he was primary target. While warping, Tas decided it was better to take the destroyer out first while he jammed the harder hitting Caracal. I moved my fire, including my warp jammer off the caracal and onto the destroyer. Tas shows up and jams the caracal and opens fire on the Destroyer. Jams the caracal fast and he puts his warp jammer on that ship. We hammer the destroyer down and the Caracal is breaking away trying to get out of warp jam range so he can escape. Tas breaks off and gives chase. I was close to the destroyer, so he wasn't going anywhere. The destroyer goes boom and we focus fire on the caracal. He's at 22k range from me, so Tas is the only one holding him there. The caracal starts targeting Tas. Tas is in a blackbird, by the way. Takes a heavy hit. He gets the caracal jammed again, and we are both hitting him. I think the caracal got another shot in on Tas, but got jammed again quickly. He went boom as well. He warped out in his pod so quickly that neither of us even had a chance to click on him to try to lock him. Fast warper, he was. So then we loot. I think he got like 4-6 million in loot off his, I got about 1 - 1.2 off the Destroyer. So, a little bit of 2 v 2 ownage I guess.
I got both kill mails as you'll see below. The others were from the other night.The rest of the night was us hunting, and the bad guys running. Tracked and chased about 4. None would fight us.
I'm about to move my gaming window to around 12:00 noon to 5:00PM then do work/job stuff so the game time is more productive. Moving it to 8pm at night has helped, but things dry up by 10pm. Maybe we'll try 5pm to 10pm before the noon thing.
***** HOLY SHIT!!!! ******
Am I reading the following kill mail correctly? Did Lanscaper open fire on his own partner?!?!

Oh ya, something else that's cute!! The above kill, Kamenwati. I'm bait at the outpost. He comes in and targets me. I alert the crew and they are heading in. Then Podruski comes in and attacks me. I'm holding my own (not gonna score a kill by myself, but not in any trouble either). So, it's 2 on 1, their favor. Then MY help arrives. We are all locked on Kamen and he's warp jammed. Pod sees my friends and warps out asap. No one had a chance to warp jam him. Kamen dies. So, for a second, it was 4 on 2. When it was all over, Pod says:
Podruski > so, you guys ever going to
fight?
Podruski > or just gank?
Podruski > I take it just gank..
And that's why I have always voted that we just don't speak. 'Cause, how can you argue with him?
1. His 2 on 1 was ok, but our 4 on 2 was not?
2. His guild routinely parks multiple battleships at the gates in that system and snipes anything that enters or tries to leave.
Morons. Going to enjoy the coming months when we can actually take on their battleships. They are all -5+ sec. Aunenen is surrounded by systems they can not enter. They have trapped themselves in that system. They can use clone something or others to travel to other systems. So, eventually, they will be a pile of bad guys we'll be able to kick out of a system.
