There I was, just sat waiting for something to happen in the “real world” and reading the EVE Online forums, when I saw this thread by ROX Genghis and it made me think that if someone is out there “pimping” RvB Ganked  then I best sit down and put out a rough schedule, as well as a plea for Guest FC’s to take on some of the dates. Especially in light of my recent run for the 8th CSM, which I feel will result in a seat for me come the weekend!

Before I run into what theme’s the summer will bring – when I am FCing at least – I think a quick paragraph on what RvB Ganked actually is, would be helpful to any of the new people directed here as a consequence of ROX’ forum post.  

 

Im new & what is this?

Basically RvB Ganked – or Ganked as it has become known – is a roam into lowsec & nullsec space featuring a fleet of people all getting their drink on together.  The aim of the night is to kill a bunch of stuff and eventually die to a bunch of stuff. Sometimes this does not happen, other nights it happens over and over again. Regardless of the way it pans out it is a fun night for all.  

It has to be noted this is primarily a FUN roam, so links, logistics and doctrine fleets rarely come into it at all.  The night is usually themed towards a weapon type or ship hull mostly for the look of it on killmails. If this is something that you think you want to take part in then I advise taking a look at the following:

Green Gambit’s Ganked Guide

Mangala’s “New to Ganked” Guide

The RvB Ganked Video Playlist

Additionally, Somer.Blink sponsor prizes for various things during each roam, so not only do you get kills and have a good time, you have a chance to WIN prizes just for showing up!!!  Over the past year they have sponsored over 50 billion ISK in prizes paid out to hundreds of roam attendee’s.

 

Ganked goes to Summer Camp

Now that is the out of the way, here is a rough schedule for as much of the summer as I feel I can layout.  For dates where I ask for a Guest FC, do get in touch if you think you can give it a go. I would advise attending a few roams first before jumping in feet first with an offer to FC.
