The goons ( and The Mittani in particular ), have made many peoples EVE lives harder then they normally would be and in fact for a lot of people, it's even made it impossible to continue playing the game like they want.
The Mittani has promised lots and lots of ISK, to the top gankers during Hulkageddon. The Mittani is using his influence to change the game the way HE likes it. The Mittani now actually stated the POSSIBILITY, that he might want to make Hulkagedddon permanent.
But lets take a closer look at what power mister Mittani actually has shall we? 1) He has a lot of ISK, meaning he can promise people lots of ISK, for doing certain things for him. 2) He has a big alliance, which to a lot of people makes them attractive to join.
So looking at it this way, it isn't hard to think that in 3 maybe 4 years, everybody is either gonna be a Goon, or will indirectly be working for them.
Time to put a stop to that.
I've decided that the best way to hurt the Goons, is by doing the exact same thing they do. So, i have decided to turn the great amounts of real life money i have, into great amounts of ISK. I will buy GTC's and PLEX, till i have enough ISK to pay for this and trust me, i actually do have the real life financial power to do this.
Here is the plan: 100 Billion ISK for the alliance with the most Goon kills. 80 Billion ISK for the corporation with the most Goon kills ( note: this corporation is the highest ranked corporation, that is not and has not been a member of the highest ranking alliance, during Goonageddon ) 40 Billion ISK for the number 1 ranking player 25 Billion ISK for the number 2 ranking player 10 Billion ISK for the number 3 ranking player 2 Billion isk for numbers 4 to 10. 3 Billion ISK for each player who ganked a POS un Goonswarm Federation null sec space ( only the top 10 damage dealers in each POS gank get the ISK ) 1 Billion ISK for each player who ganked The Mittani each time he's ganked ( only the top 10 damage dealers in each Mittani gank get the ISK )
And as a top stunt, i will offer the alliance that manages to drive Goonswarm Federation out of null sec completely, another 100 Billion ISK, even if that alliance is the top alliance already.
A few rules of engagement: If you have been a member of Goonswarm Federation in the past 6 months before Goonageddon starts, you will NOT get any ISK.
ISK will be awarded NO MORE then 1 month after Goonageddon ends, this will ensure that i have all the correct date, to decide the winners.
Either suicide ganking or war deccing is allowed.
Alliances and corporations that were already at war with Goonswarm Federation, are automatically included in the list.
Goonageddon starts June 15 2012, right after server restart and lasts until August 12 2012, right before server restart.
I wish everybody the best of luck and good hunting.
P.S. Yes, this I AM serious, yes i WILL deliver on my promise, just like The Mittani himself does. |

Small corporations will band together; forming alliances with each other. Newbies will fly better ships and they won't join the goons because, well, they've hated the goons for as long as they can remember. As these players grow stronger they will provide a significant threat to the goons and in the end the goons will fall because everybody likes an underdog and everybody likes political changes; that's why leftist and right-wing extremists tend to do well in bad times - and is it not a bad time right now? The goons are threatening a player-base which just needs one corporation to fight back; one corporation to form an alliance with another, and more will follow.
This is why we play EVE. This is what CCP created EVE for. It's so highly realistic and rooted in human psychology that a war on the goons is inevitable.
We all just want a reason to fight. Which side will the people in doubt choose? Which side will be the most fun to fight for? Those whom oppress and hold the power at the moment, like H!tler's closest men, or the liberators; the weak fighting back? |

I think this Mytanni guy just gave a lot of people a reason, kinda like many people also have a "reason" for Hulkageddon ( namely lots of ISK, just like this dude seems to offer ) If a man speaks his mind in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong? |

I'm using epithets which creates emotion, you ******* idiot, which was the whole point.
There is a reason you and I got that fuzzy feeling when the video of a bullied kid fighting back went viral; it's human. I used "liberators" as an opposite to the power-holders of New Eden. I don't think Britain and France were liberators when they beat Germany and made sure a Nazified Europe was impossible; the ******* sold half of Europe to the Russians and established capitalism with cultural Marxism that has culturally destroyed European identity with the intent to secure a global, capitalistic market with the wars happening somewhere else.
I also believe these "liberators" whom will beat the goons will end up being the new goons. That, too, is human, so another ambitious group will come, and they will be the new goons, and so forth. This is human history. This is EVE; a game made to make it possible to fight the power, but no one will fight until it naturally happens. The same reason can be applied to the European Union and America establishing laws which will in affect decrease our freedom on such a basic ******* level that an outsider looking in would ask why the **** we aren't doing something; why are we not fighting back - but we will fight back for it is inevitable.
I hope I have increased your brain-activity with this post, but you goons aren't famous for thinking, eh?
Live well. |

It's not very hard to imagine people wanting to side with the underdog and stand with thousands of players fighting an epic battle with the goons survival at stake. |

I could've used Finland as an underdog fighting for its independence against the Russians; the point would've remained the same but since everybody for some reason think Stalin was a more nice guy than H!tler, it wouldn't have had the same emotional effect.

Um, just exactly how did the Terrorists beat America?
As for the op, while the intention and overall premise sounds good (Offering isk to rally up the troops to cleanse this infestation), I believe the GSF and their infamous leader are known for scamming.
I guess having a well known neutral 3rd party verifying the isk is secured would probably subdue any doubts and quickly boost involvement. |

By the way, your post about this being "a record" falls flat considering that it just isn't mentioned in other threads. I use extreme examples because I just don't give a **** if a few goons feel all sensitive with tears and whatnot, but since most people do, they don't bring forth H!tler. |

I am all for any randomness reasonless killing in eve :) carebears whining about other people playing their own game however, gets my goat up. Please, make a MiillaGeddon :) Make my day :)
Better idea is just go out there and do it, less TALKING ABOUT IT frankly because all that is is ATTENTION SEEKING, just do it, don't talk it. I frankly don't care what you do in your game, and I expect you to do the same regards MY game.
Posting threads like this on forums is for one reason and one reason alone, seeking attention and approval. I know because that is why I do it. |

Yup. This is why, although a great idea, the OP's idea won't fly.
Besides, it's ultimately just a game, and taken WAY WAY too seriously tbh. Really.
Sorry, but I have to get back to Bismark. he hates the fact I'm about to steamroll Genghis Khan (Civ 5 = fiw). Ohh poor silly goon chillrens.

Now when referring to this game, 'High Security' is a joke and as such, I salute the op and his proposal. Hopefully it'll be a huge success, garner lot's of publicity and maybe even become another 'Player Created Event' that happens each year targeting another member of the CFC and OTEC entity's in this game.
Seems there's a double standard showing up in this thread. It's OK for the CFC to sponsor 'Hulkageddon' and 'Burn Jita' and send out 'Death Squads' to grief players but when someone wants to sponsor a 'Goonageddon', all of a sudden it's wrong and somehow goes against acceptable game play or it's players taking this game way too serious, etc. Seems like the song they sing get's changed rather quickly whenever the shoe is on the other foot.
Course then again this thread could just be a gigantic troll. Whatever the case may be, I'd still like an answer from Miilla - just exactly how did Terrorists beat America? |

The way to defeat Goons has nothing to do with wars and ganking, they want to fight, they would love for you to fight them, thats what PVP is about. And thats the disconnect that so much of the highsec crowd misses.
I'm not in favor of their tactic, don't mistake this for support - But what I'm saying is that combat is part of the intent. So suggesting to fight them is exactly what they are looking for. They want highsec miners to either get pissed off an leave, or become PVP players, because ultimately, EVE is a PVP game.
So really, if you want to directly counter Hulkageddon, and other actions like it, what you'd have to do is bore them off the game by bringing endless hours of staring at a rock to them. Then they'd move on to some other game.
But, since you can't really Destroyer-a-geddon them by running your Hulks out to their home systems, it looks like instead you'll just need to train to shoot of freakin gun. Train to mine smart, and play the game in teams as its intended. Eve isn't really about solo play its about getting in a corp, learning to work with the conditions you have and making your way.
Idle money making, while it might be the play style for a lot of players, is not what Eve is about. Eve is about struggling to survive. There are already lots of games where you can sit around and do nothing and be rich. The world doesn't need another, and even if it does need another, I'd rather that it not be Eve. Get a gun.

Yes, because Benjamin Franklin had the foresight (well maybe, he did invent the bifocal) to see that nearly 250 years later the human race would have the technological and biological means to cause mass-devastation with minimal effort. Calculate every life lost - from the lives lost from the resulting terrorist attacks, to the resulting wars, and the civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now try to imagine every person who has ever lost a friend or a loved one because of it. Trillions of dollars spent and millions of lives ultimately changed forever at the cost of "liberty" when the reality is a few pat-downs and a couple wiretaps could have prevented what will probably be defining series of moments of our generation.

I don't think that's what 'most' are looking for from Eve. It might be what a lot are looking for. It might be what you are looking for. And I certainly don't see CCP pushing videos to the internet saying, come play eve, because it's a relaxing place too mine.

Here is the plan: 100 Billion ISK for the alliance with the most Goon kills. 80 Billion ISK for the corporation with the most Goon kills ( note: this corporation is the highest ranked corporation, that is not and has not been a member of the highest ranking alliance, during Goonageddon ) 40 Billion ISK for the number 1 ranking player 25 Billion ISK for the number 2 ranking player 10 Billion ISK for the number 3 ranking player 2 Billion isk for numbers 4 to 10. 3 Billion ISK for each player who ganked a POS un Goonswarm Federation null sec space ( only the top 10 damage dealers in each POS gank get the ISK ) 1 Billion ISK for each player who ganked The Mittani each time he's ganked ( only the top 10 damage dealers in each Mittani gank get the ISK )
And as a top stunt, i will offer the alliance that manages to drive Goonswarm Federation out of null sec completely, another 100 Billion ISK, even if that alliance is the top alliance already. cool, which 3rd party will handle the rewards?
I heard shatteredcrystal.com can handle such jobs if you are buying the GTCs through them (just in case you are unhappy with Chribba, Darkness or The Mittani for some reason) |

Please, take a moment to find me the one that says you are guaranteed safety while doing any of those career paths.
Day one, you log in and you are given a newbie ship, it has a gun, and a miner on it. These are not the red pill and the blue pill, what they are is your introduction to the concept that you will need resourses, AND you will need to defend yourself.

The best way around this is to just protect yourself. The goons play the game like its supposed to be played, and yes we all hate losing ships, it happens, it sucks we get over it. You need to get over it, the problem is some people dont increase their awareness, or skills to be able to ward off attacks. If you wanna afk missions and mining, you can not complain when you come back and you are at the hospital station needing to update your clone. But the prospect of offering isk to attack them, just dec them yourself, and go in head on, die, and try again, thats what it is all about. |

Why not up the ante here? Why not just permanently add bounties to goon pilots, based on ship? Anywhere, anytime. As you'll be dealing with pilots who are (arguably) more intelligent than rats, these bounties would have to be proportionately larger.
5m per goon frigate/destroyer; 20m per T2 frigate/T2 destroyer 15m per goon cruiser; 60m per T2 cruiser 30m per goon battlecruiser; 120m per T2 BC; 150m per Strategic Cruiser 50m per goon battleship; 200m per T2 BS 200m per capital ship; 500m and 1bn for supercarrier and titans, respectively.
Bounties could be divided among all players on the killmail, to a minimum of 1m. A frigate kill may cost 20m if 20 people were on the km for instance. Or all players could get a 5m bounty each, getting you more potential players. You just have to put your money where you mouth is, pubbie.
And when you tire of spending actual money to make people lose internet spaceships to goons, maybe you can cry to CCP and beg them to permanently add goon bounties to goons themselves. Maybe 2-4 week rotations between sov holder to make it fair, where their sov/assets are untouchable to compensate.
I'd love it if you paid bounties. I'd never have to leave VFK for ~goodfites~. |

@OP And this is why Goons will win: Because they have a focused event called Hulkageddon. Highly successful because its one very organized, with good marketing, and very motivated people involved.
You are just another person coming up with yet another event like many others. Have you looked up Griefergeddon? I bet not if you are coming up with your own rebranding.
Heaven forbid, if people were to organize themselves into *one* major event ... maybe it can make a difference.
Guess what? It won't happen in the near future because most miners, or miner corps, or for that matter, many of the folks in hisec are only to themselves and won't work together for such an event the magnitude of Hulkageddon.
Hey, If want set it up and get major alliances working together, good luck. EVE would be more fun to many players having more pew pew in hisec. But making more fragmented events and no collaboration is doomed to fail.

You are just another person coming up with yet another event like many others. Have you looked up Griefergeddon? I bet not if you are coming up with your own rebranding.
Heaven forbid, if people were to organize themselves into *one* major event ... maybe it can make a difference.
Guess what? It won't happen in the near future because most miners, or miner corps, or for that matter, many of the folks in hisec are only to themselves and won't work together for such an event the magnitude of Hulkageddon.
Hey, If want set it up and get major alliances working together, good luck. EVE would be more fun to many players having more pew pew in hisec. But making more fragmented events and no collaboration is doomed to fail.
Damn and here I thought Hulkageddon was Heliticy's creation and event. :( Ive deleted this sig 500 times now! - Sarah xCalibre |

Harder EVE = Better EVE
And the game is definitely not about players getting what they want, but what they can achieve. Hulkageddon is applying a very healthy dosage of Darwin to the miner population, so the not-so-stupid ones remaining can enjoy the increased mineral prices. The low-ends held pretty steady throughout the month (likely in the wake of the drone-nerf hype), but now they are definitely rising.
Which is perfectly fine, because these days it's stupidly easy for everyon to make tens of millions of ISK an hour anyway. Operation WRITE DOWN ALL THE THINGS!!!-á Check out the list at http://bit.ly/wdatt Collecting and compiling all fixes and ideas for EVE. Looking for more editors! |

I am not a big fan of Hulkageddon myself. But, you need to understand that this is a game, and it's just internet pixels.
If you don't like what someone is doing to your nice shiny ships then move them to another region of space. People are going to do what they are going to do if you like it or not. Just get over it. If you are still wanting to do your mining...then get some overwatch to protect your operations when you are mining.
If you still don't like what is happening then go back to playing WoW...

Let me get this straight. The OP wants to spend THOUSANDS of RL USD currency to supposedly hurt goons. All other arguments about his endeavor aside, the OP clearly has obsessive personality and a mental disorder.
Despite me approving of CCP making $$$$ clearly even if you have billions of RL dollars, don't you think this extra money better spent supporting a charity of some sort that will help people in real life rather than punishing someone in "space pixel" game? Don't get me wrong, I'm not least bit worried about this in terms of in game threat rather I'm concerned that perhaps you should reconsider playing MMOs if you cannot have a barrier between RL and space pixels.
The competitive MMOs do cause certain people to commit suicides, murders, ruin their family and social life, and health. At some point you need to step back, look outside and go to the park or stop worrying about some game that is supposed to be fun. If all your friends are on the interent or are in-game, you have problems bro. I highly recommend seeing a shrink and getting a dose of antidepresants as a precaution measure. |

Does that mean that everyone who spends obsessive amounts of RL money on Shiny new Sports cars have the same disorder?
Granted giving to charity is a noble idea, I'm sure you, as well as many others who play eve, probably don't cancel their accounts to give that money to a better cause.
Plexing your accounts is no different, you are just using another person RL money. But again, people in eve aren't going to stop buying plex off the market to encourage RL money spending to stop on plex and be donated to a charity instead. |

I support this thread! I would just love to see the effects it might have. Then again, you will probably end up paying billions of isk to NCDOT or something, because sometimes they get lucky and we welp a fleet. Wich puts them ahead bigtime ofcourse. Then again, they can use the isk to buy new ships to put into action against us, so win/win for us i guess.
I really hope you are serious, but the doubt is pretty big tbh. |

I'm not arguing as to how one should spend their RL money. Myself personally I'm well off where I don't need a job and have shiny cars and boats and totally understand the concept of few grand being a pocket change. However, my observation the OP has a vendetta against goons which I can understand. The ways he is proposing to win simply looks like an unhealthy obsession which also involves RL. I'm just trying to perhaps point out a flaw in his approach before someone tries to sKILL HIMSELF again and blame it on goons. |

Quote:So looking at it this way, it isn't hard to think that in 3 maybe 4 years, everybody is either gonna be a Goon, or will indirectly be working for them.
I agree with some of your thinking.. but the above part is the absurdity that breaks the logical end of your piece. Goons do not actively recruit in game; they scam. They spend their time making enemies as fast as they can because, in their way of thinking, they have all the members they will ever need or they have outside recruiting that allows them to abuse the rest of the population of eve with impunity.
In three or four years we may well see either more extreme abuses from The Goon or they could completely disappear.. It all depends on how bored they get with the game play. [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a208/DawnFrostbringer/OldST.jpg[/IMG] |

I didn't see anything in the OP's post that touched on anything to do with real-life other than real-life money to change into PLEX, to change into ISK, to pay for bounties. Millions of other people have converted real-life money to buy/do stuff in MMOs. Thousands of people in this game have EVEndettas.
I see a guy who made a troll alt, who may or may not have shitloads of money, and if he does, it's pocket change, and if he's for real, considers bountying you guys his entertainment.
That being said his system (if it's anything more than a troll) is crap -- "whoever blows up the most spaceships gets this much ISK", and so on.
