You may have seen last week's 'kill of the week' bounty trial, which we now plan to turn into a regular feature. Well, for every yin there is a yang. Perhaps you were having a bad week and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Thanks to @funinc's bounty suggestion (https://alpha.justabout.com/eve-online/weekly-feature-suggest-your-own-bounty-idea-for-dollar15-we-might-even-do-it-1#post-2794), we might be able to ease your pain by allowing you to profit from your loss. Introducing our trial of 'funny lossmail of the week' (FLotW), or as we like to call it 'the silver linings bounty'. To submit, just send us a recent short video (up to five minutes) showing yourself losing a ship in a funny way. Add a brief explanation of what happened, and be sure to include the actual lossmail. If this trial is a success, we'll make FLotW into a regular feature....

I can't offer a video, and I don't "intentionally" lose ships.

But here is a story about a loss that was a couple of hours in the making:

Caution:Spoilers inside

Apparently, one can not insert images inside the "spoiler" box. Otherwise, the image below would be in here.   Edit: Apparently, there was a visual bug when making the post, making it look like the image was outside of the spoiler-tag. Edit2:  Test, test? I'm typing this (visually) outside of the spoiler box. The first edit did end up inside it though. Interesting. (Using Firefox) Edit3: It might have been also a user error, the button for "spoiler" was still active when making the edits - the box indicating the text would end up inside it didn't show up though.

Edit4: No, the text still ended up within the spoiler. Let's see if a different tag helps. (This is unresponsible uses of quotes, please don't do this at home, kids).

Edit5: Heureka!
