I had an encounter this evening with the http://www.minerbumping.com/ I read through their manifesto and beliefs that allow them to do what they are doing. GÇ£Ramblings of a madmanGÇ¥ What they are doing is nothing short of a Mafia style protection scam. Pay us or -------
Sure 10 million isk is not all that much to pay GÇô yet you must display your New Order ID number in your bio (Badge of Shame) for them to leave you alone.
No matter how eloquent their verbiage and solidly based on what they can get away with, following current game mechanics, it is still bullying and intimidation of the populous of the EVE community.
Seeing how on line bullying is a major subject of disdain within the entire Internet Community, maybe CCP needs to take a look at this.
I am sure that I am not their first GÇ£Customer GÇô forced to wear their badge of SHAME in my bio to prevent then from further intimidation.GÇ¥ and strengthen their community influence. |

I guess this is not the game I started playing over 10 years ago (Betas)
Yes of course an Alt.
Sorry to see it has devolved into this. There is so much to do on a positive/cooperative venture. Not a direction I wanted to see it go GÇô turned into a scam run by a bunch of players who have no real experience with the game other than their short sited evil and gratification of their desire to feel somehow powerful. Because they are a bunch of 97 lb weaklings in RL. With no real strength of character other than that they can impose in a totally anonymous Internet game. |

Yes,
Our 3 person corp still mines both Rock and Ice We build stuff and sell it on the market.
We WORK for our survival, We help new players when we can. There must be over 100 new players out there who have suddenly found 25-100 million in their wallet with the suggestion that they buy some skills. There are players who have been given Freighters when they needed them. There are players who have been given POS research time (free) we research their BPOs and give then back to them GÇô rather than GÇô thanks for the BPO GÇô Bye
Honesty and integrity are what we live by. Guess that is why a large scam bothers us so much. |

Here you will wear this cowpie on a rope around your neck from this day forward and if you do not we will kill you, your entire corp and perform unspeakable things to your livestock.
Hmm sounds like bullying to me. |

Or maybe a 60 year old physically disabled person who has been here too long. Grown tired of every time you turn around there is someone new being RUDE with a new scam being unpleasant and self centered having no empathy for anyone else. Pushing their crap in your face, forcing you to play the game the way they want you to play it.
But then again that is just a reflection of RL and what the human condition has become on this planet. Maybe time to get back on the road to the next lunch stop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPW7osZrL0A maybe things will be different there. See you further up the line. |

OK,
So the story continues.
From: Taarna Tarakian Sent: 2013.10.01 04:23 To: Admiral Baetak,
OK,
We are NOT Bots we are NOT afk miners. Yet you bumped us tonight while we were ice mining. VERY RUDE of you. I will NOT sign on to EVE GATE or any other website to pay you your ill - gotten BRIBE - I am Sending you 30 Million isk to cover all 3 persons in our corp.
NOW GO AWAY - LEAVE US ALONE
We went Ice Mining again tonight. Upon entering Angymonne I noticed one player in local flashing CRIMINAL Red, Checked his Bio, Sure enough James 315 Death Squad.
I opened a private convo with him and informed him that we had paid our bribe and requested he leave us alone. His response was GÇ£SorryGÇ¥
Then the following in local.....
[06:30:44] EVE System > Channel changed to Local : Angymonne [06:41:59] R3aliti > Paid to Admiral Baetak
[06:42:56] Skir Skor > I see no valid permit in bio...you are are ganking target in my eyes [06:43:45] R3aliti > Do it and it will be harassment in EULA [06:44:56] R3aliti > We will not in bio - do you want us to put in our bio also that we paid Goon 450 million and then they ganked us also [06:45:07] Skir Skor > lol your ignorance amuses me...you wish ganking was against the rules...sorry pal but its perfectly legal [06:45:40] R3aliti > not if I have a proven payment [06:45:42] Skir Skor > I don't care what you did for Goons, I am not one of them [06:46:11] R3aliti > check with Admiral Baetak [06:46:13] Skir Skor > lol again, all I have to say..your ignorance amuses me, [06:46:31] Skir Skor > again, it's not in your bio...you are therefore fair game for gank [06:47:10] R3aliti > and this convo goes to petition [06:51:18] Skir Skor > oh now you've done it...I better quit while I'm ahead [06:51:25] Skir Skor > your ignorance amuses me... [06:55:17] R3aliti > We have done NOTHING - your stupidity is not even funny [06:56:13] Skir Skor > you know what's funny actually, is that I've never met or spoke with you before, you pm me basically begging me not to kill you when I had no intention of doing so [06:56:33] Skir Skor > Now I'm going to gank you just for fun [06:56:44] Skir Skor > you brought this upon yourself [06:58:22] Skir Skor > oh and btw, we gank Orca's too [06:58:24] Skir Skor > good day [06:58:33] R3aliti > So much for James whatever being here to help legitimate miners who have paid their fee
So it is ALSO NOW a condition that you must wear their badge of shame (paid their bribe) in your Bio in order to prevent them ganking you.
He logged off and shortly after that a Caracal entered the ring and started orbiting us at 30 KM. It never target locked us. We decided to top off our Orca and leave before more cruisers showed up.
Continued I am sure..... |

Yes, I read their web site.
Yes, but I do not support an extortion scam.
Been here for over 10 years, seen this stuff come and go, they get bored with it and move on the the next game where they can get their intimidation power rush.
The last time we had any thing in our bio someone did not like it and War Deced us because they did not like our Bio. So Bios are and shall remain empty, to avoid insulting anyone. How is that for playing the game the way someone else wants us to. |

Let me get this right,
I must pledge loyalty to an extortion scam.
Yes, I objected to it from the start
AND
I must pay someone to be able to mine rock/ice
Wow, who was I suppose to be paying when I started mining on 2003.05.11 Strange that no one has informed me of this some time in the last 10 years. |

If they had bothered to talk to me rather than just showing up and bumping/target locking us and then attempting to gank us, things would have turned out differently. I am all for taking out the macro and afk miners, however I do not take kindly to being bullied into doing anything.
Oh well, POS taken down, everyone docked. Starting a long break, since we can no longer mine in peace. So in a competitive game, instead of finding a way to win against your opponents, you are ceding the game to them. Sounds like mission success. Other miners, hopefully code compliant ones, will make slightly more isk.
I guess after 10 years I have grown weary of the continual grind of one asshat after another doing what ever they can to stop us from mining, researching and building. As to our absence allowing other (code complaint, brown nose) player to make slightly more isk. I am certain of one thing, there will be four less orca's and two less Charon's on the market every month. |
