I just spent three hours cruising through systems talking to miners and posting in local; I've been looking for miners having trouble with can-flippers.
I got zero. Nada. Nothing. Where have all the can-flippers gone?

Didn't we just have a thread asking exactly the same thing from someone that was trying to bait a can flipper?
Miners got 'smart' and it became a lot harder to can flip and get a fight out of it..

Edited by: Ralnik on 14/08/2009 00:24:54 Yea the miners have gotten smarter it seems. Hell I can flipped a guy in a Navy Mega that had 5 corpmates in local while flying a rifter. They came back with a cruiser, inti and frig but my aggro had just ran out.
I popped a can and couldn't get any of them to take it.
I did get a juicy 110 mil rigged Mammoth a few days ago, for my virgin kill with this toon. However it seems like the miners have caught on, hence the reason you see a lot of suicide ganks these days.
Only other choice is to war dec them, but then you are limited on your targets and they will probably hide in the station all day.

I think you misunderstand what I'm talking about.
I'm not looking for miners to grief, I'm looking for can-flippers to grief. =p I can't find any.

I'm telling yea why there aren't many can flippers, the miners are harder to flip these days so most have moved on to other things.

Come to Everyshore. Having no problems finding miners with more ego than sense here.

Obviously the OP cares or he wouldn't have asked. I would guess that some miners care so they can avoid the can flipping. Obviously you don't care, but as none of us give a **** what you think that doesn't really matter.

After chatting in the ultra secret "Can Flippers" chat channel last night it seems all us old Can Flippers got bored and buggered off to Low or Null Sec just like the carebears always demanded... and there was much rejoicing on their part....
You haven't gotten your invitation to said "Can Flippers" central? Hold tight I'm sure it's on it's way, bureaucratic oversight I assure you....
Of course you always could just "Suddenly Suicide."
*** ... never let a good story die, click the... er, well damn the threads disappeared... the linkys don't work.... Ah well nevermind....

It was fun when i first invented it and was pretty much the only one doing it. When whole the corp would come out to "defend" their miners. As soon as the whole world started canflipping, it was becoming too obvious.
COSMOS can flipping and aggro management still works, but prolly not good enough for it not to get boring very fast.
Nowadays everybody wants to be a...

A fair number of people still bait flippers using mining Cruisers, maybe that's part of it + more cautious miners. For instance, I know a dude who killed a flipping Ishkur in an gank-Execquor recently.

HuHu ^_^/ hear is tha can flipper ^_^/
I noticed no one is can flipping so i do it in my area. I mostly canflipp in an iteron mark 3 or 5. its basically like howling, tho only few go for it it is still much better then flipping in an frigate. if they don't go for it ill just loot and come back and loot etc, if they go for it they're dead, and if friends show up it gets interesting, the Iteron can handle most t1 frigs and some few cruisers, i fly it with a 10nm after burner and ab over 400m/s fast, i can fly away from many to hard opponents. and if it blows, its cheaper then an average Imicus or Tristan.
btw i really like your music Curzon , make some more

14th August 2009. Possibly the first ever instance of a Curzon Dax thread appearing in the correct forum area and thus not even needing the unwavering protection of the biased moderators.

Aditional: i have often experianced hi-sec can miners, regardles of age, to absolutly not know about the flaging rules and therefore not engajing. I oftenhear things like: -if i shoot you your corp/fleet can shoot me -if i shoot back i get concorded -you get kill right if i kill you
however there are other times its the other way around and they think -my fleet can now attack him, go go go shoot him ..... why did concord kill us? -my corpm8ts cant attack him so they just come to watch.
If more highsec miners had basic knowledge of pvp they'd think that the one ho flipped them is a noob and that they will blow him to dust, till they learn theyr lessen.
