Asteroids Don't Be Givin' Me No Sass

This blog entry is a comprehensive guide to the Art of Cyno Killing. In it you will learn not only how to kill the enemy Cyno pilot, but you will also learn how to troll them in local afterwards. With this step-by-step guide, you will rise above the typical foibles of PvP and ascend to the status of Cyno Killing Grandmaster. 

All true Cyno killers begin their journey as mere Battleclinic killboard whores, but if you dare to delve deeper, as you will learn how to do in this guide, then the Cyno Killing world will be your proverbial oyster. Read on if you dare to embark on an incredible Cyno Killing Journey!

Excerpt from Chapter 5: A Nigga's Gotta Eat - Get Dat Pod, Get Dem Bounties, and Scoop Dat Loot

True Cyno farmers quickly learn that there's gold in them thar hills. That is, Cyno killing can be a lucrative enterprise. While it is possible to extort Cyno pilots for ransoms in lieu of killing them, this Cyno Killing Grandmaster asks, "Where's the fun in that?" Indeed, one can have his proverbial cake and eat it, too, when killing Cyno pilots.

In order to profit from Cyno killing, one need merely scoop the contents of the destroyed Cyno ship.

There really isn't much to it. After the fun is done, just scoop the loot.

The payoff comes in selling the relatively valuable Cyno modules on the open market.

Another way to earn income while Cyno killing is to kill enemy Cyno pilots stupid enough to light a Cyno with a bounty on their head. This becomes especially profitable if the enemy Cyno pilot is also in an expensive pod at the time.

Although not an expensive pod, the following log demonstrates how we can combine introductory trolling techniques (which we learned about in Chapter 4) with some of the income earning methods described so far in this chapter:
