You post should have said
"Need hulk in highsec ganked for being a ****. Will provide destroyers fit up in a safespot (~4mil cost) and pay 10-20mil for service. Mail me in for details."
You would then be welcomed into the folds of C&P as one of our own.
Edit: F - old thread

Ohh Good Grief.... Get over it..We emptied the belt just that one time, If we had understood you would quit the game over it I would have given you the entire Orca load we
took from the belt. And Fleeted you up for the mining bonus's... But when you
got smart about it we took the low road and decided to extract it all for the humor of it..

Then I was going to proceed to mine the Omber for the Isogen needed to reduce production Cost by 3 million ISK on 22 units.

tl;dr post, but i'm just going to say that the fact this sort of thing can happen is what makes EVE stand out for me. The feeling and indeed fact that everyone is in competition about everything, the whole game has a sense of danger, and you gotta keep your wits about you all the time, everywhere.
Everyone has frustrating things happen to them, especially when fairly new, and for me it just made me look at the bastard(s) and go "wow, I wanna be able to do that someday, i wanna be that good"
This sort of stuff adds to the depth of EVE, and the challenge, the story. Some people are just ****s, yeah, but if you're upset because a few other people are *******s, you've lived a sheltered life!

By chance I've seen a neat tactic for dealing with with a Hulk squatting in your face. Assuming you have the skill, I've seen an MWD'd Stabber bounce a Hulk over 100km out of a belt(a Thorax could probably do the same). Now some people are going cry foul and try to petition that. I personally see it as a valid game mechanic. You were willing to share the belt, he squatted on the ore you were working on specifically to get it before you could (competition). You're returning the favor. (again, in the spirit of competition) |

Couple of things. First, unfortunately for you he also pays a monthly subscription fee to CCP and can pretty much mine wherever he wants.
Second, many players in EVE (or any MMO for that matter) are people who have no power in real life and therefore love to exert virtual power in game life. These are the griefers, smack-talkers, asshatters, and general pains in the ass whose big kick in EVE is mentally masturbating by making someones else's life miserable. Its a rush for them and there's not much you can do about it. However the simplest thing to do is find another belt several jumps from the one you're in and mine there. Keep your ops relatively small and join a high sec corp that can offer you some protection. If someone starts to cause you grief, ignore them and move on. They'll lose interest in you real fast if they can't get a reaction out of you.

Great thing about this game is that (if you keep your sub ofc) once you get into a hulk, you can do the same thing to other people!
And the balance is restored.

First off you got to think like the Hulk pilot. If he wasn't just being an arse then he too needed the omber and you were his competition. He saw your cans and knew that mining the Omber around your cans first would reduce your effectiveness therefore increasing his chances of more Omber in the belt. Pretty solid plan there because without being in range of your cans you would likely give up (and you did).
What you should have done was try to strike a deal with him. See if he needed another type of ore too and maybe you could have worked out a trade. Or you could have offered to buy the Omber from him at a reasonable price.
Throwing a fit and unsubbing only give the Hulk pilot a sense of accomplishment because now his competition in the systems is -1 less.

It's just as well the OP didn't get the Omber. Even if he won the PvP of mining, he'd face the even crueler PvP of the market.

If someone is mining in a belt already, I pass it by and go to another. I had the opposite situation from the OP happen to me. I was mining in a .6 system with my 2 hulks and an orca. I had positioned myself perfectly to reach all the roids in the belt and had been mining away for about 10 minutes.
Next thing I know, someone in a retriever warps in and says, "Could you move to another belt? I put these cans here so I can mine. There's plenty of other belts you can mine in this system." To which I replied, "It takes a while to get things set up in a new belt and this one was empty when I got here." "FINE!", she replied and starts mining.
I briefly considered mining the same roids as her an popping them before she could get any ore, but, unlike a lot of Eve players, I don't grief noobs for being noobs unless they're really obnoxious about it.
What I did was finish filling up my orca and while it was off unloading in the next system over, I moved my hulks to another belt. I know I didn't have to and it was certainly within my rights to stay, but I was going to be mining for a couple of hours so a few extra minutes didn't matter all that much.
I did, however, come back to that belt every day for the next several days and clean it totally out.

In any online game (or really, any scenario where repercussions are limited), people are going to be *******s to each other just because they can. Many people never outgrow that itch to do whatever action is necessary to annoy another person. My teenage daughter does it because it's fun for her, it cures her boredom, and lets her push the envelope of acceptable social boundaries. I'm fairly certain she'll outgrow it, but many people don't have that inner sense of respect for others ingrained in them while they're growing up.
That's the world we live in. So, basically, in any game where the designers don't explicitly disallow such conduct, you'll find such behavior. Yes, it does have a massive negative impact on fun in such games, but there really isn't much one can do about it except to ignore it and move on. At least then the other person doesn't get the validation they're looking for.
