well, I really don't see him as that terrible to be honest.
Yeah, he still doesn't know the game mechanics and all after so much time, but he actually uses his shiny ships for pvp when not in blob.
He knows how to enjoy a game, not hide in a blob and shoot at sitting ducks.

He apparently doesn't believe in PLEX as 'it's cheating by players and extortion by CCP', I believe were his words.
He's also admitted to using items stolen from the wrecks of RMTers and botters in the past.

Well, yeah. But apparently he actively seeks them out and kills them, fully knowing he's getting rich off dirty money.
...But then again he's also claimed that using drone ships in 1v1s is blobbing so maybe we should just take EVERYTHING he says with a bucket of salt.

I found a good agent in arnon and was there for a while . Socratic had basically blocked half of eve. Because i hate litter i would run off with the cans at the SOE undock for a cheap laugh and the threats were something else. Remember thinking he'd get his for messing with noobs but this is better than my expectations and makes me feel good, even though he did nothing to me other than inflict himself on local chat. I suggest many pilot's move to "his" system and enjoy his fail mechanics information before adding to his losses. So much win Zedrik, so much.

the last 2 or 3 days he has been mining in a covetor. I killed it with my exeq because he was "asleep" when he launched his drones, aggressed me, warped his pod to station and logged. I suppose after what, 7 years in game that may be a skill one might develop....

Wow this guy sounds more aggravating than any ownage could make up for. He owns himself with every word. That kind of self delusion is all but impenetrable. The ownage doesn't mean much if those who are being owned are incapable of acknowledging that they have in fact been owned. The only thing you can get out of that is a bunch of face palming.

Zedrik, just an FYI:
The items (Sleeper Drone AI Nexus) in the contract you accepted are the blue NPC loot dropped by sleeper battleships. Assuming they were farmed in a C4 or lower he would have had to killed 422 battleships for that ammount of loot. That is at minimum 60 c4 sites, 211 c3 sites or 422 c2 sites. In the case of socratic that seems extremely (understatement ftw) unlikely, this is higher end group content. Ask yourself this: if he did the sites himself why hasn't he simply sold the loot and converted it into isk & offered that to you in the contract?
A much more likely explanation for where those came from emerges once you consider that RMTers place buy orders for 0.01 isk higher than the NPC buy orders in the same stations as the NPCs. They then transfer via some method (conjecture: drop in a can, contract, direct trade or something) these items between characters to launder it and deliver it to the person purchasing the ISK. This is the only explanation I'm aware of for why anyone would buy an item for 0.01 isk more than its market value.
TLDR: the items you have accepted via contract are very likely the procedes of RMT. His claims of bilking RMTers is likely a fabrication and he buys his isk. In your shoes I would be careful you don't get woven into this chain. Petition it and let the GMs determine whether that isk is "safe" or not. I would wager that the station he contracted those items to you also contain the NPC buyers for that loot.

Oh, I've suspected he is an isk cleaner for a while. He claims he 'steals' from RMTers.
My theory goes something like this:
1) 'steal' from the RMT crowd. 2) Use the isk to buy stuff the RMT folks create...Gilas for example. 3) Look real pimp in your T2 fit pirate and faction stuff. And get it blown up often so it doesn't look too suspicious as you buy them by the freighter full.
You don't have to worry about Petitions Genji... let us say that I'm relatively well covered in that direction. (That, and I've not gone and spent it all either, so if it all evaporates, that's just fine) --

It's not harassment if you're being paid.
It isn't harassment even if you aren't being paid. Depending on how you do it. I will admit that I've skirted this particular issue many times in the past. For reference: http://zedrikcayne.blogspot.com/2010/01/joe-show-tm-story-so-far.html
The first blog post containing Joe is...September 8, 2009. The last word on Joe was October 25, 2010. Which would be the last time I messed with him.
As far as I've been able to figure out, as long as you stick to in game mechanics, keep out of game away from it. You are doing it right (tm). I've been told that my behavior has been petitioned many, many, many times. (Socratic himself says he has petitioned me over a dozen times.) So I'm pretty sure I am not harassing folks as per the EULA.
I can be proven wrong of course. I am not perfect. But I will carry on until I get a crowbar in the teeth. (in game) --

While your new 'friend' is a little brusque, there is a little background story to the whole Boston Bradley v Socratic mini-soap opera..
After reading this thread, I - like so many others - stopped by Arnon to see if Socratic is actually that...stupid/bad/dumb.
At first it was like visiting a foreign country laughing at all their seemingly backwards customs. However, after awhile a pattern easily appeared.
Socratic, ever the victim, always has whatever disease that is mentioned in local--even if it is mentioned in a totally unrelated way. If it isn't him, its some close relation to him. In just 1 night of visiting Arnon, I have logs where Socratic claims to be a 61 year old with cancer, whose mother is 87 with parkinson's and something else and whose aunt(s?) I'm pretty sure he claimed both died of whatever VD was being talked about at the time in local.
There's low and there's low. Yes, it could be said that Boston was low in what he said, but, IMNSHO, Socratic is even lower for even trying to play that pity card--lying or not (but doubly so if he is lying).
Socratic eventually even turned his maladies into insults aimed at the very people trying to white knight him in local chat.
I won't lie, I too hurled vitriol at him for his attention-whoring by CONSTANTLY reminding everyone about his supposed malignancies while, at the same time, using them to as a reason to act to superior and smug to everyone else around (enemy and friend alike)

I would argue that that's not really relevant. Trolling him is one thing, but what that dude said is distinctly Not On.
It doesn't matter what Socratic said; what Bradley said is, at best, descending to his level, at which point any claim to moral (or any other kind of) superiority on Bradley's part is gone.
You only get to criticise someone like Socratic so long as you remain demonstrably better than them. As they say, the moral high ground is a good thing to have, because it provides such an excellent terrain advantage in combat. If you mire yourself in the sludge with the distasteful scoundrels below, you're going to take collateral damage, at the least, or else present yourself as another valid target.
Your defence amounts to: "But he started it!" Which is an absolutely flawless rebuttal - if you're five years old.

Your defence amounts to: "But he started it!" Which is an absolutely flawless rebuttal - if you're five years old.
I can admit that is one way to interpret the actions undertaken. However, personally, as soon as Socratic crossed the line I simply stopped caring. I'm not a smacker unless there is a truly outrageous cause. I did most of my smacktalk back in the days of BBSs (and then only on the ones where that was the particular regional culture).
My own foray into the banter was an attempt to be absurd about it to the point of being comical (after Socratic threw out there that his mother has Parkinson's I merely speculated that "I bet she gives good hand-jobs") Irreverant? Yeah. Puerile? Absolutely. Irreverant? Quite a few people got a chuckle however and it got me added to Socratic's ignore list whilst getting a few people to question how truthful Socratic is/was.
Make no mistake, I'm not trying to white knight Boston. By all means, have fun shooting him up. I do, quite honestly, find this threads sudden white knighting of Socratic to be puzzling however.

Oh, I'm not white knighting Socratic. I've just found someone that in my humble opinion, needs to have some antimatter pasted up where the sun doesn't shine. So I've got a sidebar going on.
I'm hoping that Boston enjoys station spinning and/or losing that Navy Thron he's been piloting around in. --

Yup...I'll admit to that. I'll also admit to being afk at the time (Note, there is a podmail immediately afterwards.)
Note. Both times I actually went looking for him. He actually bailed on his corp, handing it over to an alt. For someone who talk an awful lot of smack..running and hiding seems to be bread and butter.
Blog to be updated 'soon' folks. I was up kind of late following this joker to lowsec.

Just saw that and commented. I'm calling BS on this one. Socratic just happens to go into null sec, find this Bestower, and kill it? More-over, there's 22 blueprints in the cargohold, 10 of which look like they are shaded as Vindicator Blueprint originals. I find it highly, highly improbable that 34 items in the cargohold wouldn't drop. ***** ***** ***** *****

It is a very fuzzy line that I try to stay this side of. Anything said in local is fair game. But I do try and limit the amount of personal information that gets spread out. Like the names of his favorite clubs. The city in which he lives...etc. Just not cool.
But visit Arnon yourselves...If you haven't done the epic arc in a while, give it a spin. And of course, watch local :) --

Let me make one thing perfectly clear: he took it like a man. In fact he was one of the first to evemail me a "well played sir".
I disagree with socratic on lots of issues, but for this he has my respect.

latest intelligence has him running courier missions around naguton/sahda in a viator (i am sure it has full rack of wcs fit)
At least I assume the are courier missions. No other idea why anyone would fly viator back and forth through lowsec. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It takes a beast to stand and bleed |

This.
Because EVE allows you to go so far outside the box, and the single most powerful weapon is imagination - more skill points and bigger ships are just a bonus.
Absolutely beautifully set up and played through, the internetz spaceshipsz equivalent of The Sting.

Okay, someone check me on my arithmetic here, because I'm tired.
That's seven zeroes on his "top percentage" intelligence, making it 10 to the power of -8, or one in one hundred million.
Statistically speaking, if this dude is American, he is saying he is one of the three most intelligent people in America, and one of the ~70 most intelligent people in the world.
If this were true, why is he:
a) playing EVE instead of, I don't know, inventing real space ships b) falling for Morin's gambit c) using smartbombs in highsec?

Setting the record straight:
I received some questions about my motivation and why I hate socratic so much.
Well to be quite honest Zedrik got that part wrong in his blog. I do not hate Socratic, I never have and probably never will.
Arnon has been my chosen home for the last months, I've witnessed Socratic's antics numerous times. While annoying and often distasteful that was not what drove me to this.
He claims he is only there to help the new pilots of EVE, a noble cause but yet he always uses the term "noob" for those pilots and talks to them with a demeaning tone of voice. Yes he does seem to help them but at the price of being treated like trash. I have often suggested that he use the term "rookie" instead, IMHO it has a much friendlier ring to it. I've asked him, argued semantics and even pleaded with him but nothing seemed to work.
Something had to be done. I had to show him the importance of words.

He'll pull the occator out next I had to fit a caracal with nothing but warp scramblers and hams to nab it. Fortunately for me he ejected from it and I stole it. Anyone want to buy a trimarked occator? (I stripped the T2 warp core stabilizers off of it already) --

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while creating it!

Wow, I'm really stunned by the huge amount of positive feedback - thank you a lot, guys
I think it would be pretty cool to call such actions a "Morin's Gambit" from now on, but if we tried to push this forward ourselves, the term would look quite forced. You know what to do
On another note, the Video of Socratic's Fall is now available in low and high resolution - enjoy!

I am really amazed that your plan worked out. Although, I am even more amazed that Socratic believes he can rat his sec status from -9.8 to -2.7 in 24 hours time.
He does have a few more hours right? Last I checked he is now -9.7.
k...
Anyway thanks for the thread and the videos. Also a big thank you for whoever attended the disco party.

I rather thought these threads and the local pasting in a blog where rather childish, self-congratulatory ************s. The banter was kinda sad all around. The only funny thing was how loony-toons Socratic is, but you can get that any day by visiting Arnon.
This conclusion though is pretty f'n epic and is probably going to be a major footnote in New Eden history. Finally got to watch the video last night and learn how exactly you guys got him to newb-bomb in hisec. Very vicious, very nice. Stoked my evil-genius brain centers quite nicely.
I'm almost certain he cried himself to sleep that night, which is sad........but funny as hell because it's not me.

It was pretty epic...but as for it being a major footnote? The IEEE's previous adventures (ThGuy/ThCEO/Joe Phoenix) have long faded and are barely known or remembered outside the C&P regulars. This one too will pass and only be vaguely remembered because of the epic video that has been provided.
But that is okay. It just leaves room for whole new sets of shenanigans.
I've still got one week left on my Socratic contract. I need to move a hictor into lowsec now. Soc's busy running SOE courier missions out of Amod. I do beleive I have a Joe Phoenix special one lying around. --

TL;DR: Zed makes new friends in lowsec. And Socratic loses a viator..and a pod. And zed loses his Joe Special Phobos.

Yes, but then you would have to travel to Amod, to the Sisters of Eve station there.
Good news for those folks waiting for his triumphant return to Arnon in 24 hours though..he's up to -9.5. (Which, is 0.05 sec gain per day or so. If he can keep that blistering pace up. He can get back to -2.5 in 140 ish days. And as we all know, it gets slower the higher sec you actually are.)
