Cultist Fortress Siege Rewards thread

[Sand-Viper]

Ship name: Fortunato's.Favor
How many times you died: Six.
How many Cultists you killed: Assist Kill on "Gold Alpha" Bustard (I think that's what it was called?); drew fire.
How many platforms you killed: TL;DR: Platform Charlie as a Primary Contributor kill. Assist Kills on most platforms (I cruised 95% of the time and played decoy, lol).
Any rewards may be stashed on The.Titan please.

I drew fire for nearly the entire event so that the big boys an' girls in caps could do their thing.
I was present for nearly every platform kill, save for the last three (Alpha and the remaining two), so I think I have a lot of Assist Kills on the Platforms.
But I specifically wanted Platform Charlie dead, and made it known in local and system chat about 3-4 times.
The Main Fortress, unfortunately, died between respawns, but dang if I didn't have a LOT of red death lasers aimed at me nearly the entire time.
Kinda hard to deal damage in an Armicusto, heh.
I would have stayed to the end, but my work shift was ending so I had to go.

Thank you VERY much for hosting this, @Flame-Touched, and kudos to anyone playing the part of the Cultist Player ships!

I am afraid that I have seen you complain a lot of times that you are never available for Events, so why should I believe you were actually present in this Event. Reward given for a good story - St.Denis

Edit: Hi, St.Denis. I'm going to admit that I deserve your skepticism, given that I have complained frequently in the past about being unable to attend many events, since they usually take place while I'm at work. That being said, I didn't want you to think I'm lying, and thus I'd like to prove to you that I am being truthful.

Recently, work has been dead slow. I work a desk job, and when the workload is permitting, we are allowed to bring in various personal items to occupy our down time, such as books, electronics, etc. So, I also somewhat recently installed Freelancer+Discovery onto a laptop to bring into work, so that I can fiddle around on break and during those super-dead down times when there is zero work to do.

I took a few screen shots during the event, and there is a time stamp provided in one of them. You may find the album of all the screens I took during the event here. (I censored the first one to hide someone else's name, but I can provide the un-edited version privately if need be)

Not that this helps my case, since I stopped time stamping every single message (Yeah I'm-- I'm changing that), but I've also provided bits and pieces of my DSAce logs, viewable in the spoiler box below.

If you'd like to cross-check the server's chat logs for time stamps, you could search for "Death: Fortunato's.Favor", as this event is the only circumstance where that specific character of mine has died thus far (Somewhat new character).

If there's anything else you would like to know/want me to do so that I might further prove my honesty, please let me know and I will be happy to accommodate! I want to apologize for being a nuisance. I didn't want you to think I'm a liar, as honesty is something my father did his best to instill in me growing up.

Thank you for your time,
~Sand_Spider

Sorry, you only get 1 reward for a good Story. I am afraid, this time, you will just have to miss out - St.Denis

Edit 2: I wasn't trying for an additional reward...
