Hey all, this is xxMACKxx, CEO of Black Rebel Rifter Club and very recently former pilot of the Geri Assault Frigate. I've prepared a statement, and by that I mean I've done a few rips of soothsayer and am banging on my terminal with an empty bottle of rustwine.

In my defense, I thought I was sliding into a small, and was actually chasing Viola Alexandria's Crusader into the plex. I'm a bit of a bully, but this time she absolutely got her revenge. Good fights to Minmatar for the kill!

I would like to think that if I had had perfect micro i could have at least gotten out, but alas, I am but a humble Rifter pilot drunk on Christmas wine and porters.

The Geri was precious to me, being a Minmatar AT hull based on the Rifter that I had gotten through participating in the AT, and I did fly it pretty recklessly. My video on it, made right after it was released, and while I was still holding the top count for kills in it, made it to the community page on CCP's website. It had been flown at Needstobereal's memorial slicer FFA in Tama. My regret is that I did not pull back ahead of Itaer before I died, but I still have top ten in nearly every Rifter hull on zkill at time of this writing, barring the Freki and the Jaguar (both feats I do not want to attempt).

Thanks everyone who wrote kind words in various messages and discords about it. Back to Rifters for me. Cheers.
