I'm gathering up as many Apotheosis's as I can at a minimal cost (about 5-10 mil) and setting fire to them. It will raise their value artificially. It's permanent because of their limited one-time production, and will make the <soon to be> rare owners of them rich beyond their wildest dreams. You're encouraged to do the same. Sound good?
EDIT: Four down. I can already smell the $$$

Let's see, approximately 300,000 accounts and 2 characters per account makes 600k ships. At a cost of 5M each you would have to spend 1.5 Trillion ISK just to get half of them and even if you do spend that 1.5T there's a still ~300k ships left.
This is the dumbest manipulation attempt I've seen in a long time.

By myself, sure, that sounds daunting. Have YOU ever heard of 1 person manipulating all of New Eden? I am putting out a call, so that 2, or 4 or 4000 may do the same. Heh, maybe I am dumb, but I think it's worth a try. You might have some fun while doing it.

This is such a dumb idea. Instead of destroying them, you might as well hold on to them, which would reduce the available supply and make you much richer than your plan would.
Alternatively, you could just give your stuff to me.

That does make sense. And I should say I've already thought of doing that, but there's a flaw. If everyone did that, nothing is gained. I have to destroy it myself to get anywhere (save for 1). Independently, that makes no sense. But I'm not trying to do it by myself. IDK, it's the same as voting. If you think about it, it makes no sense for you to vote, but you do it anyways, understanding you're the small piece that runs with the rest the system.
Unless you don't vote. 
EDIT: Why would I want to give them to you?  I see the humor, but that undermines everything.

Oh, and make a video of it would increase the size of your evepeen

But it would be so much faster for you to give them to me than to actually shoot and explode them! You clearly missed my point: your idea is as profitable as giving your money away.

Once you've become truly wealthy and experienced, there is only one thing that you can do to prove your mastery: destroy something priceless, just because you can. Do it, Thomas. I double dog dare you.

One of the basic rules of the EVE universe is that as the population of MD grows, the community doesn't get any smarter on average.

the 'clean' definition...
Epeen aka Evepeen: n. (ee' peen) the size of your 'digital manhood'. "n00bkll3r would frequently bait noobs and then shoot them down so he would feel that he had bigger epeen." "MoarISKthanU would frequently fly his Guardian Vexor into combat in Rancer to prove his epeen to his buddies."
Clear up the definition for you?

Sure, but it still doesn't make any sense. Sounds like a person with "evepeen" has an inferiority complex in RL. I can't attribute 1's and 0's to manliness.

Never got SiSi to work for me but that would be pretty sweet. Although I feel that would ruin the fun of getting a new ship for the first time.
Oh I get it, you're saying I faked this......huh. I'm not sure how to disprove that other than it was shot in Tash-Murkon prime and you can see the other ships coming out of dock in a few points.....figured there'd be some skepticism but I tried to record as honestly as possible.
Edit: Yeah it's not under losses because I self-destructed it I guess, I'm not sure what to tell you....There must be a way to prove it though. :P

I don't find this very original, though fair enough for attempting it. I don't think people will be silly enough to destroy their apotheosis' while you stockpile them.

Perhaps you'd do well to try some other methods, too, e.g.:
- get people to fly their Apotheosises (Apotheoses?) to some specified places to participate in a 'shuttle flash mob event' (with prizes?), and, simultaneously
- hire some mercenaries to smartbomb those gathered ships?
