Also, GOONSWARM has nothing to do with HULKAGEDDON. That would be HELICITY'S doing.

This message brought to you by RANDOM CAPITALISATION.

In the real world this is called MAFIA.!!!!!!!

It's threatening people and asking them money to allow them to do thier job. If you enter in the loop there is no way out.
This money will be used to finance hulkageddon, hulkageddoners will start making money out of it and they will do it more and more often.


Tank your hulk, stay in 1.0, get organized with logistic ships but ...

To all miner mates, today I received this email:

"Hulkageddon Mining Permit Offer
From: Andski
Sent: 2012.05.05 12:17
To: Savoian,

Greetings!

It appears that you were the unfortunate victim of a Hulkageddon gank. As you may have heard, Hulkageddon V has been ongoing since April 30th, and it is well-known that hundreds of Hulks and Mackinaws are destroyed during these campaigns. Exhumers are notoriously weak and the poor state of T2 hull insurance makes these ships extremely costly to lose for the victims, while extremely cheap to kill for the gankers.

This is where I come in. I am the Goonswarm Federation director in charge of managing the Hulkageddon campaign, and I deal with selling Mining Permits. The purchase of a Permit ensures that Hulkageddon participants do not target you - should they do so, any winnings they may claim are immediately void, and your loss will be FULLY reimbursed at current Jita prices!

To purchase a Mining Permit, send this character 250 million ISK with the reason "PERMIT" and you will shortly be listed under our exemptions list (characters that Hulkageddon participants must set blue for the duration of the campaign) and any exhumer losses you incur to suicide ganks throughout the remainder of the Hulkageddon campaign will be reimbursed, provided the following conditions:

- Any losses within 4 hours of payment will NOT be reimbursed. Wait 4 hours after payment before resuming your mining! The reason for this is that gankers have some leeway to keep their contacts up to date with our spreadsheet, and cannot be expected to continuously check it.
- The loss must be in HIGH SECURITY space (0.5 security or better!) No party on your killmail may have an active war declaration against your corporation/alliance or be a member of your (non-NPC) corporation.
- Any indication of MACRO USAGE will void your request. Goonswarm Federation does not intend on supporting botters.
- Fraud will not be tolerated. Anyone suicide ganking their own exhumers to collect payouts through this plan will be denied payment.
- Only characters that send 250,000,000 ISK to "Andski" will be listed on the no-kill list! Alts are not covered, unless you send this character that same amount of ISK from those alts!

For reference, your character name will be listed on this exemption list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag0_cKv2BUAhdHI2NHU5YVY2eERqVU9GZnhVLUJRVVE

Happy mining!"


Of course I told the guy to **** off, now I want to ask all of you to do the same.
DO NOT PAY!

A$$-hat FCs, roams with five or six different people calling out orders, douche-bag corpies who shoot just for the lulz and KMs, the inevitable "Fleet up or you're out of the corp!" idiots...

Need more? And like I've said before, if you're too stupid to not know how to mine safely (I haven't mined in 4+ years, personally), you don't belong anywhere but 1.0 noob systems.

Because every time I find out where my stuff's been delivered to, I can't access it.

if anything hulkageddon shows how flawed the pvp is in this game a person in realative cheap ship can attack an expensive ship in high sec space and nothing happens, no long term penalty of any nature. the because its legal excuse is quite weak on this side of the game. game can have all the kit and ships and planets mining etc then the game gets ruined by a lamers destroying ships for no other reason than because they can i doubt im only one who wont bother subcribing any more but then its been the same since i started 9 years ago

Its common Knowledge highsec is less safe than null. Stop qqing cus you cant be bothered to not hide in empire and move out to null where the isk is.

its nothing about bothering to not hide, if im mining where i want to why shouldnt i, for what im doing i dont need to mine in null space. lamers blowing up ships is no different to lamers who used to blow up new people in chaven just because they can.

if you think its great then thats fine thats up to you, but i dont see any reason to pay for eve to have it ruined by lamers, as i said if i was in a corp in a corp war at least it would have some meaning. to many games around that dont suffer idiots way ccp allows under bracket of because you can.

If you CHOOSE to fit for capacity vs tank, that's your choice, and you need to accept the risks. If you CHOOSE to mine alone, in high, in systems in or near trade and mission hubs, that's your choice, and you need to accept the risks. If you CHOOSE to take a lazy approach to mining vs being vigilant, that's your choice, and you need to accept the risks.

You know the rules for mining in EveO. If you choose to ignore them, you take that risk on yourself. Quit trying to make EveO into your own personal intarwebz spaceships game. If you don't like EveO, make your own.

thanks for proving my point about the morons who hide behind the because you can excuse. mining ships are not combat ships you cant fit them out for combat or you that stupid you dont know that. wasnt in a trade or mission hub system either and since you dont know where i was thats a pretty pointless statement for you to make on that front. lazy approach to mining I wasnt afk mining i heard alarm and looked then they blew the pod as i tried to jump but since you werent there im not sure how you know what i was or wasnt doing at the time.

your not having much luck out of your post i wasnt able to find one thing that related to what i said.


now since youve had your account for 3months your either an alt account or someone who talks %$%$ on forums.

instead of crying about huklageddon why dont you kids get out of highsec and go to null where it is safer?

i just lost a ship then got email saying same sort of thing which almost seemed funny, one advantage of it though its helped make me think why spend money on a game where someone can mess you up and theres not very much you can do back to them, if you come back with a battleship they will probably of gone somewhere else, then next time you do see them it will probably of lost kill rights so you cant do -ú$%% to them if you wanted to. eves always suffered from weak pvp penaltys its why so many go around ganking people anyway hulageddon or not. but the good news its going to save me some money,people can call me carebear or what ever i dont really care. theres to many other games that are fun where you dont have to worry about some idiot coming along and ruining months of work. if someones in a corp war then would be fair enough but its not even any skill to it if it was battleship vs battleships then could see something in it, but someone with a combat ship attacking miners or freighters you got to be pretty week minded to consider that any achivement, no different to weak players who spawn camp other games because they suck in open combat.
