I just wanted to point out that I have some friends that do this. I don't yet cause I don't have kids but when I do I'm certainly gonna do this.
Eve + Children = Profit
I met a guy a couple of weeks ago that lets his 8 year old play eve mining! WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA~!!@#! He bought the character and the ship with his isk and gave them to his kid. I can see it now... "Jr. When you're done with your homework then you can go mine for daddy, but right now it's homework time" 10 mins later "Well, homework was never important anyway get to work!!!!" I'm thinking if I put the right spin on it they'll LOVE mining so much they'll want to do it all day. Or if that gets old maybe mission running or something. Man when summer time comes around I'm gonna be so rich!
I only wanted one or two kids before but I think I'll make a whole flock now. A herd even. Just wait till my wife hears this one. Can't get me for that CCP, they're not macros they're mini-mes HAHAHAHA!

I got an evemail from a war target once (nice guy), it said something like "My little lad came running outside crying, 'everything is exploding and I can't move'"
Ahh bliss.
I never understood those toy vacuum cleaners they give kids. Give them a REAL vacuum cleaner and let them loose.

hmmn that's a good point... but by then eve won't be around and I probably won't care. I have no problems paying for a place for them to live if they're profitable enough. If not... Chinese work force for you. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Ok let's estimate... the cost of raising a child to 18 years of age, what US$100,000?
Now instead, let's assume you spend that 100k buying 90d GTC's - $38.95 a pop - that's 2,567 GTCs, and you sell them cheap for 400M in the Timecode Bazaar - that will make you about 1,026 billion ISK.
So question is, will your kids mine 1 Trillion ISK before getting tired and moving away from you - or do you want to spend that cash buying instant fortune?

That's a good argument for not having more, but I guess when my wife suckers me into having kids there will be a bright side.
BTW chribba look for the eve-file guide soon. "How to sucker your kids into making you an eve fortune." I promise it's coming in a few years. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

EVE + Old Retired Parents = Profit also.
Allright, old man, you can barely move, can't work anymore, your retirement allowance barely pays for some of the food, and there's rent, medical bills that Medicare doesn't cover, and so on, so get mining!
Revenge.

Well, you might not be caught for macroing, but you can be caught for account sharing.
Using your own children for such tasks unobserved, can be looked on just like that: Account sharing! So I would stop now if I where you, and rather let the children take the dishes instead while you play!

God it's a perfect master plan. God will strike us down for finding such an incredible loophole in the universe. I think I'm gonna teach my wife's grandmother. She's german so she could get into the PA or something. Act doubly as a spy. HAHAHA

Phwwet dishes can be handled by my wife. The kids and I play... err work rather. And account sharing? WTh is that? no... I'd never let a n00b on my acct. They'd get their own accounts. As a perk. Same with Grandma. If she's gonna live on my dime in my house or in a nursing home she's gonna make me some isk. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Oh ho ho, this is indeed not true if they're 18. I'm pretty sure it says so in the EULA. ---------------- Tarminic - 34 Million SP in Forum Warfare Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.79.3 (Updated 3/24) |

OMG PYRAMID SCHEME>>@!$#!@ $% If I have all daughters by the time they're all about 16 I can start raising profits exponentially. Geez this is sick and awesome. I can't wait. I don't think I've ever wanted some kids so bad.

Hey man it's all in the genes. We can't all have the eve gene. If you didn't beat her then it won't work now. At least that's the way I hear it goes. You gotta get them started young. That way it's nostalgic later. Shoulda gotten her on it at like 5 or six cause at that point mining is all they can handle. Then later on it'd be like legos or barbie or whatever. They'd do it just to get that little kid feeling again. So yeah sorry about your loss. Oh well there's always WoW. If she plays the sims though I feel really sorry for you. Ouch. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |

Ok, maybe it is allowed. But it is still typical for the average EVE player to exploit things to your own gain. And when you cant exploit the game game mechanics without gettin the ban stick, its very common to exploit things you can get away with, and I guess exploiting children to do your labour work is a "reasonable" thing to do - since - after all, at home its you who sit with the ban stick. And it is you who are the moderator..

You can get em to make 400 mil/day if they dual account run lev 4's with 2 high SP chars and are not eating too often. Say ... a 12 h/day sounds allright ? Afterall they are kids and it's not wrong in letting them play, right ? Or if you get each of them mine with 4 or 5 accounts. To save costs you can make em to it in shifts as if they are underage and your family memebers then account sharing is not against EULA if I understand it correct.
What a brilliant plan. And they were worried in EU that people are getting old and there is not enough new births :p

You realize I'm married and she wants kids. I don't tell her the plan I just plant the seed. Then when the time comes I tell her me and Jr are spending family time together and viola no objections.
Really people admit it... It's the best idea you've ever seen. Ever. Like the wheel or fire. Maybe even beer. I should have kept it to myself and sold it. But hey, I'm not that greedy. *-------------------------* This is not a good sig. |
