it is pretty fun to watch the yellow - grows like a time lapse mold

what the hell happened in February of 2010? Goons dissapeared and were replaced by IT

The real comedy here is no goons are upset at all. Only a handful are involved.

The real fun is poking idiot pond scum pubbies like yourself with a stick because you are too stupid to understand what is actually going on.

What I understand is that goonswarm have again succeeded in making themselves look like assholes and CCP look spineless in the public eye.

Again.

I'll just point out that you guys are playing a very stupid, and very dangerous game, for you. Eventually, someone at CCP is going to find themselves in a position where it's gonna be a choice between their job and giving goonswarm the heavy end of the hammer.

And I anticipate much tears and threadnaughts when they make their decision, because I doubt that you're going to like it.

A 30 banning is not what anyone else would have gotten. The EULA suggests a permaban

He voluntarily stepped down originally, IIRC.

Gee, cheat and get it confiscated. Again, beats the bans that members might have gotten if CCP ruled it an exploit.

and then we got better space

not too bad

I know you've love it. <3

You are intentionally missing the point. This is not about the "exploited" materials being seized. CCP is also seizing unrelated funds and resources. This would be like getting a warning for speeding and coming home to find your house impounded.

I will admit that Paint's posts on the subject alone would be very humorous to read. I imagine that it would go something like:

'DAMMIT CCP! You promised us ETERNAL LIFE AND BIG TITTED NINJAS ON A PIKE! Why are you banning us! IT'S INCONCEIVABLE! We and WE ALONE dragged this game up out of the slime!'

Close. He stepped down from CSM6 knowing CSM7 was starting in a few days. CCP intentionally misread his post in order to suggest he was stepping down from CSM7 and, in a bit of a loophole, banned him at that time. Since they banned him at that exact time, he will be allowed to run for CSM8 -- which was very intentional on CCP's part.

Case in point: You guys might not remember killing your 10,000th Battleship Rat, but I can guarantee you you'll remember how Goons spun Faction Warfare into 5 trillion isk in a year.

Let's see, at a mil each, that would be when I made 10billion from battleships ...

... oh goodness I think I've passed 10,000 Battleship rats...

I doubt CCP would deem blowing up your own freighters filled with literally billions of ISK worth of loot to work the game mechanics for personal gain as "working as intended".

Should the mechanics have been tested better - they were probably tested adequately enough and i'm sure CCP were aware of the possibility this could happen - but they prob assumed that outliers in this magnitude would not be taken advantage of....
That was their mistake.

Its not "breaking the sandbox" to reverse any gains made by a few highly dedicated, organized and intelligent players, and any players who have received a donation from it.

I think the only question CCP are contemplating is whether or not bans are required for knowing a game mechanic could be used in such a way and taking advantage of it instead of doing the "right" thing and filing a detailed bug report - including the "uber spreadsheet".

The funny thing is that the guys involved are now minus all the ISK they invested with no profit to show.... Only gain is street (forum) credit for pulling off the heist. Which is all they Probably care about anyway.

I think its pretty cool what they did - congratz guys. But CCP do need to take your sack of loot i'm afraid :(

Well we have been playing this game a very long time, this character, as an example, longer than you. So if KalMittani wants the blood of a few more Galente infants for his bath, who am I to say no?

Not so much. Goons are being tied to The Mittani's fanfest affair and the word 'investigation' appears in a lot of them. So, no, not good PR.

Wait, so you mean we have a bad reputation in Eve? Well holy ****, we need to get on that, stat. Thanks for the heads up.

Most of you are addicted like dirty whores. You(not all) wish you saw trillions in your wallet. Quite commical. SO many of you forget this is a game; Yet, so funny this is not a game to you(not all). It is your life, your breath, what you wake up to and what you go to before you sleep.

You may disagree or agree. One thing is certain: You will continue to play.

When the real world puts pressures and expectations on you with respect to this world, this is your escape or at least a place to waste your time.

Where shall you go? There is no place you can run. There is no place you can hide.

Must say that I find the OP who did this a bit puzzling.

On one hand it takes a lot of smarts to find out the loophole and to devise a manner to make a lot of ISK from it.

On the other hand it is plain stupid then to brag about it like they did, and run the risk of losing all their gains and more.

Guess a psychiatrist in our midst must be able to reconcile these contrasting elements of 1 person's personality

Well the question is; if random jaggoff went an found an infinite money loop, used it to make 9 trillion isk, then told CCP; what would happen?

Sorry, I've found eve players running to both ToR and WoT and most of them like it better there than they do here. Mind you, it's the carebears to TOR and the PvPers to WoT, but... yeah, sorry, EvE ain't smack, and even if it was, I can get my fix elsewhere.

Your weakness betreys you.

Death becomes you.

You see all that you desire; however, so few of you will achieve that which you desire.

There are sheep, and there are wolves.

Even the wolves have no idea that they are being led to a slaughter.

Prey tell, oh do tell.


I am not excluded in that which I type.

Goodday/night--to you all.
