For those Alphas and Omegas new to the game, this is just to let you know about a time-honored Goon tradition that happens roughly every year around this time: The ganking of anything and everything in the Jita star system. "Burn Jita" typically runs for a weekend, starting late Friday and even extending until the wee hours on Monday. More often than not combat spills out to several outlying systems as well, with gankers preying upon ships stalled out at closed stargates to JIta.
To maximize on the level of suffering and 'lols', you can expect a minimum (if any) advance notice or leak of when in February this will occur. The only recourse is to basically avoid Jita as you will be facing hundreds and hundreds of players intent on your destruction - whether or not your ship or cargo is anything of value. The whole thing is basically one large Gong (or Goon) Show.

I applaud your effort, but I assure you - if we thought that players actually read and heeded a warning like this, we would have put one up ourselves. Security first is our motto!
Unfortunately, our experiences from years prior have shown that all efforts in that regard are fruitless. |

Unfortunately, our experiences from years prior have shown that all efforts in that regard are fruitless. If Goonswarm actually posted a PSA no one would be able to take it at face value. I'm not saying that all Goons are pathological liars, but you're all pathological and can't be trusted further than anyone can shoot you.

CCP once put a warning about Burn Jita on the logon screen for some days preceding the event, it got ignored and feckless fools in freighters flocked to the killing fields like moths to a flame, and then whined when they exploded.
TL;DR people are dumb.
In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Do you mind sharing what we have done to you to deserve this level of hostility? Or could it be that this is just hearsay? In that case I would have to ask you to kindly stop contributing to the rumor mill and slandering our good name. |

Why make an effort to protect those who won't protect themselves. Everybody with any engagement with other players knows.
There once was a ganker named tisi
A stunningly beautiful missy
To gank a gross miner
There is nothing finer
Cept when they get all pissy

The people who would actually heed this warning don't need it - they're already taking the necessary steps to protect themselves.

Most of players do not even notice this event.
But yeah.... Some people will be caught with their panties down

Thanks for the notice!
I deeply feel with everyone who don't do their reading. As in l hope it will be educational for 'em.
They say Alpha clones are only for trying stuff. I say it's just the Hard Mode.

Everyone wants to add their two cents in, and say "grr goons", but no one ever thinks to shut the Whole Thing Down by simply just not logging in. Or not going near Jita. Everyone feeds themselves into the meat grinder, knowingly, and then bitches about it.
Even better, log in and chat with the Goons, from inside a warm, toasty station. |

Expect every goon destroyer you will see 3 rookie ships sitting there waiting to watch stuff burn and scoop up loot. |

Show us on the rifter where the bad man interferred with your spacecraft's performance? The reason some people don't care about these things is their cargo and ship are already insured and what could go wrong?

At worst it's a podding, but a savvy capsuleer has already prepared for this inevitability.
A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

I've managed to miss the last few Burn Jitas. Guess I'm just unlucky...
