Welcome once again!
In a little over a week, Hulkageddon II will commence! By now (as you have doubtlessly learned) we have amassed a rather significant amount of prizes, somewhere in the 8-10 billion isk range in a variety of categories. I just have to add an armageddon and some small stuff to the prize list later today, but itÆs essentially finished. At this point I would like to ask that you do not send in anymore physical prizes.
The Jackpot
There have been a few questions about this. The jackpot will be awarded to a random participant by means of a number drawn from a digital hat. I will probably have Chribba or some other public figure like mynxee do the drawing so there is no accusations of funny business. The Jackpot is currently just shy of 1.2 Billion isk!
If you want to sponsor Hulkageddon, please donate some isk to Hulkageddon Jackpot in game.
ôBut wasnÆt the jackpot already over 1.2b helicity?ö
Yes, yes it was! this brings me to the next point on my agenda:
Hulkageddon Orphanage
I have skimmed a few iskies off the jackpot to buy some skillbooks for the jackpot character and open up a corporation. Hulkageddon orphanage is a temporary corp where solo players or alts can apply to have some company during the event.
So, if you donÆt have anyone to fly with, you might consider joining up here and hooking up with some other solo pilots. Unfortunately I will NOT have the time to hold your hand in there, so IÆd ask that some of the more experienced players that join the orphanage help other members and coordinate their own strikes.
At the end of the event there will be a nice little surprise for the participating orphans (a collectorÆs item no less!)
Jackpot is still training a few skills, so I will not be accepting applications till the 6th of january.
If you would like to help with the orphanage or organize some gangs for the orphans please send an evemail to hulkageddon jackpot and I will get back to you.
The Hulkageddon guessing game!
Is still open, and hasnÆt really gotten the attention it deserves! Go to this thread and read the instructions and place your bets!
Misc. Tips
Even though you still have more than a week to go, I strongly recommend you begin preparations right away. Last time, the (then much more low-key) hulkageddon event bought out EVERY CATALYST IN JITA. So if you donÆt want to end up without any ships to fly during the event, you might want to stock up now. If there is any builders reading this, feel free to use this thread to advertise your goods as well.
The in-game channel is open!
I have opened up the ingame channel, which is suprisingly named: ôHulkageddon IIö today, so if you wanna hang out with the other holy warriors, feel free to join and chat at your leisure. This might also be a good place for the novice ganker to ask questions

I think some people are placing too much emphasis on the macro- part of many miners.
This is not some altruistic festival of game-balance restoration. This is a mean spirited and evil activity aimed to extract tears in the same fashion miners extract minerals.

until you run into a vet player with skills an isk to match. You can tank a Hulk very well if you bother to learn how. I am gonna laugh if the miners kick off an start returning the favor :D
Im sure it will happen at LEAST once (in fact i am betting on it).
But you know as well as I do that the vast majority of players in this game have...well... no clue.
(earlier today i killed an armageddon that had an assortment of 200 and 400mm plates and an overdrive in the lows, and a shield booster in the mids with a mix of medium and large lasers. mankind is indeed doomed)

ROFL! ok now that is funny, I feel sorry for the guy since none has obviously taught him anything. But that is just hysterical. btw I agree with you, the vast majority have no clue an suffer for it :)
good luck on weekend either way. 
We all did some silly things early on in our careers, but there is just a whole pack of people that are TOO LAZY to educate themselves on how the game works. There is a wealth of information about eve out there, and thousands of people you could ask questions. that's how i got to be half-decent, and i learn something new every day still.
I blame television, and the passive attitude it engenders.

I just wonder the motives behind this Hulkageddon thing. Since what generates so much bad blood towards afk miners i wonder. Is it emotional or financial or perhaps just an new idea.
It makes us laugh. A lot.

I always love the false "you can't pvp" argument.
I have 700+ kills on this toon, and i think like 2 of them were hulks :/
not to mention the head sponsor of the event is ranked number 1 on Battleclinic.
Funny them false arguments, but whatever makes them feel better I suppose.

It promises to be quite an event; gratz to Helicity for organising it again.
Personally, I'm very much looking forward to Hulkageddon II and wish all participants on both sides the very best of luck, fun, occasional tears and general 'yarrage'.
I will be mining in Korsiki, The Forge, for much of this event and hope some people will come visit!
hehe, I've seen your video, happy fishing mate :)

I saw Python Cartel strike on two macro macky right after it started, nice one.
However friendly tip, if you are outlaw scouting in your pod may not be the smartest thing, my corpmate quite appreciated the 77M bounty two minutes before it started 
Haha yes, that was Kyle, Kyle does that kind of thing a lot.
We laughed
