Double (Jedi)Mind Trick all the way!

Mission flipping is awesome. I love it. I know that 99% of the time I'm fighting someone that has a very low chance of killing me, but I can't explain the adrenaline rush I get. I can only assume it's attributed to the fact that I'm in a T1 or T2 frigate going toe-to-toe with Geckos and Hobgoblins being controlled by a battleship. If you read Feyd's blog you'll see where he shows us examples of how the Jedi Mind Trick is used to secure kills on ignorant carebears. Prior to this I've acquired two kills in this method, but nothing quite like this...

I had already spent roughly an hour combat probing with no luck when I stumbled across a Dominix running level 4's. I warp in and immediately proceed to loot his wrecks while stumbling about like an innocent noob. I'm half paying attention as I pull out all the stops. I shoot at the nearest rat as I yellow-box the Dominix in an attempt to spook him with no luck. To my surprise I received a convo request from the pilot.

[ 2015.03.22 05:12:20 ] Richard Syphers > oh... okay

 I frequently get people asking me what I'm doing in their mission pocket. I can only think of one reason why someone would be in your mission pocket, looting wrecks and salvaging... At this point I prepare my mind for what I'm about to attempt.

[ 2015.03.22 05:13:10 ] Faylee Freir > you tank missions good

[ 2015.03.22 05:13:31 ] Richard Syphers > is that a question or a complement?

[ 2015.03.22 05:18:28 ] Richard Syphers > lol

[ 2015.03.22 05:18:45 ] Richard Syphers > but do most of them do?

[ 2015.03.22 05:18:50 ] Faylee Freir > i guess

[ 2015.03.22 05:19:31 ] Richard Syphers > well i am here to tell you that i am not

[ 2015.03.22 05:22:36 ] Faylee Freir > Well I was really wanting to get into missions.

[ 2015.03.22 05:22:46 ] Richard Syphers > but just dont take my mission items  lol

[ 2015.03.22 05:22:50 ] Faylee Freir > I don't make much from doing this.

[ 2015.03.22 05:23:20 ] Faylee Freir > I was wanting to get into l3 missions

[ 2015.03.22 05:23:23 ] Richard Syphers > oh then we can run missions together if you would like

[ 2015.03.22 05:23:30 ] Faylee Freir > but don't know if my tank can handle it

[ 2015.03.22 05:23:48 ] Faylee Freir > I have this thing fit up for missions tho but I'm scared. Last time I tried I lost like 4 ships trying.

[ 2015.03.22 05:24:12 ] Richard Syphers > wow  sorry about that

[ 2015.03.22 05:24:21 ] Faylee Freir > but I changed it since then

[ 2015.03.22 05:25:14 ] Richard Syphers > well lvl 4s kinda require a BS

[ 2015.03.22 05:25:21 ] Richard Syphers > can you fly those

[ 2015.03.22 05:25:21 ] Faylee Freir > think you could help me with the tank? Your drones have good tracking and will be comparable to a mission dps. If we duel and you just fire 2-3 at me from drones

[ 2015.03.22 05:25:29 ] Faylee Freir > I could see if it's good tank

[ 2015.03.22 05:25:44 ] Faylee Freir > just dont shoot more than 4-5 or I will prob die

[ 2015.03.22 05:26:19 ] Faylee Freir > I could even tip you 4 helpn

[ 2015.03.22 05:26:25 ] Faylee Freir > then we could run mission

[ 2015.03.22 05:27:09 ] Richard Syphers > sure

[ 2015.03.22 05:27:29 ] Faylee Freir > remember just 2-3 shots

[ 2015.03.22 05:27:34 ] Faylee Freir > or I will die with 4-5 shots

 The mind trick really isn't difficult to pull off. I always try to present myself in a manner in which I appear to be weak or helpless. Sure, he's going to allow me to shoot at him but surely a weak pilot in a frigate doesn't pose any kind of threat. I send the duel request and he accepts! The plot thickens...

[ 2015.03.22 05:28:19 ] Faylee Freir > 50m and you go free

[ 2015.03.22 05:28:43 ] Richard Syphers > go

[ 2015.03.22 05:28:53 ] Richard Syphers > thats 3 shots right there

[ 2015.03.22 05:29:18 ] Faylee Freir > 50m and you go free

[ 2015.03.22 05:29:22 ] Richard Syphers > or i can just kill you

[ 2015.03.22 05:30:13 ] Richard Syphers > sir.... you cant brake my cap or tank

 I rep through his drone damage while eating cap boosters like candy. I start working on his drones and I can tell he at least has a quarter of a brain because he's reeling his drones in and out as I apply damage on them. I call on the alliance for someone to bring some cap transfer so I can perma-run my neut without worrying about it. I start considering my options as I realize that even with my small neut, I can't break his tank. I continue to buy time by ransoming him while I think of who I could ask for help.

[ 2015.03.22 05:31:05 ] Faylee Freir > 50m

[ 2015.03.22 05:32:23 ] Faylee Freir > 50m

[ 2015.03.22 06:00:57 ] Faylee Freir > Or if you want to get out of your dominix I will let your pod go.

[ 2015.03.22 06:01:30 ] Richard Syphers > i dont trust you anymore

[ 2015.03.22 06:01:41 ] Richard Syphers > so you cant take the contract?

[ 2015.03.22 06:01:47 ] Faylee Freir > No it didn't work

[ 2015.03.22 06:01:50 ] Faylee Freir > I swear

[ 2015.03.22 06:02:35 ] Faylee Freir > I'll recall my drones

[ 2015.03.22 06:03:27 ] Faylee Freir > was it?

[ 2015.03.22 06:03:35 ] Richard Syphers > all 3

[ 2015.03.22 06:04:04 ] Richard Syphers > this is getting redundant man

[ 2015.03.22 06:04:26 ] Faylee Freir > I'm telling you. I will contract what I have back. Leave the domi and your pod goes free.

[ 2015.03.22 06:05:18 ] Richard Syphers > no can do

[ 2015.03.22 06:05:25 ] Faylee Freir > I will contract half of it to you now

[ 2015.03.22 06:05:32 ] Faylee Freir > k?

[ 2015.03.22 06:07:07 ] Richard Syphers > i dont see anything

[ 2015.03.22 06:07:12 ] Faylee Freir > Do you agree?

[ 2015.03.22 06:07:21 ] Richard Syphers > with what?

[ 2015.03.22 06:07:42 ] Faylee Freir > I contract half back to you, you get out of domi and warp your pod out, then I contract you the rest.

[ 2015.03.22 06:08:16 ] Richard Syphers > dude im not giving up my domi

[ 2015.03.22 06:08:27 ] Faylee Freir > You will, one way or another.

[ 2015.03.22 06:09:10 ] Faylee Freir > You do as I say or you will lose it anyway.

[ 2015.03.22 06:09:36 ] Faylee Freir > I'm trying to be reasonable. I don't want to pop the ship.

[ 2015.03.22 06:09:44 ] Faylee Freir > It's a nice ship and does missions well..

[ 2015.03.22 06:15:08 ] Faylee Freir > eject and this will stop.

[ 2015.03.22 06:22:00 ] Faylee Freir > going to eject?

[ 2015.03.22 06:22:06 ] Faylee Freir > I have literally all day.

[ 2015.03.22 06:57:20 ] Faylee Freir > alright

[ 2015.03.22 06:57:35 ] Faylee Freir > contract me the rest of your assets

Luckily around this time Cyclo Hexanol hops up in comms and I immediately tell him what I have going on. I tell him that we're going to try another Jedi Mind Trick and prepare him for what he's going to say to Richard. Cyclo fits up a Gnosis with all the sexy neuting goodness and says he's on his way. I'm not sure why, but Richard has stopped all dps and is just slowboating away from the beacon (we're now 400km away). I guess I had a complete brain fart because Cyclo informed me that his corp was currently at war with Space Warriors. I mentally dick-slap myself as I scramble to get in their public channel.

I'm actually shocked. I don't know about  you, dear reader, but if someone comes to me presenting a wartarget in a Domi... I'm going to get my ass in gear. Cyclo informs me that he's started his attempt and I await patiently.

[ 2015.03.22 06:46:03 ] Cyclo Hexanol > So basically limited engagements work like a web and you can extend an engagement you are in to others if they are invited to the engagament

[ 2015.03.22 06:57:15 ] Cyclo Hexanol > Misplaced faith

I hardly have time to realize what the hell actually just happened as Cyclo lands point on the Dominix and we both proceed to chew away at his armor. In a blink of an eye we relieve Richard of his Dominix and his pod.

I quickly pull up the killmail from my notifications tray and I have an aneurysm...

[ 2015.03.22 06:57:40 ] Faylee Freir > I told you you were going to die.

Flip success! Not only did I murder this carebear with the elusive Double Mind Trick, but he paid me for it as well!
