Have you considered prizes for most intelligence services in the channel?
Or possible honorable mention?
I suppose t-shirt might be asking too much...What if we are willing to buy?
something like,
Hulkageddon Insecurity
Hulkalocater
Hulkageddonspy
HulkaTargetsRus
I travel for trading and probing services everywhere and see many macro fleet.

Unfortunately, my RL wallet is pretty bust, and handing t-shirts willy nilly as prizes will eat a massive chunk out of my budget. Besides that, being an Australian player, the USD right now makes me sad.
I just wanted to make it extra special for some particularly big jerk in EVE

For the winner of the "Know Your Place" Matari category, Regent Laboratories would be happy to donate either an Apocalypse or a Tempest, T2 sniper-fit. Hull is winner's choice, rigs not included.
I'm sure there's a joke somewhere in there about snipers knowing their place, far from the action, but I don't know what that joke might be.

I'm gonna stop playing that week, and dedicate myself to anything else. Callme names and what you want, but getting a Hulk is A LOT of effort for a new guy like me, and I'm not eager to lose it just for some bullies to have their childish laughs.

You could also roll up an alt real quick and join the lulz, and possibly win a nice prize! (there is always the random jackpot to win!)

Typical bully response. "If you don't like things the way I like them, go cry in a corner, crybaby". No, thanks. The situation does not move me to tears, just confirms my understanding about the state of things.
I'd like other fellows in my situation to follow my example, to be sincere. Simply not attend. That way, you bullies could come to the playground and find it empty: with no one to overpower, and no laughs to be had. Only the people who could enjoy playing your "victim", who could laugh and afford to be ganked, or who have the skills/firepower/money to risk against you should present.
Oh, wait. Or you could've been sensible enough to restrict your "contest" to some clearly delimited regions, so anyone who mines on those regions is a WILLING PARTICIPANT. And I don't mind you having your fun (or how you have it) as long as the other party is willing to participate. I'm not willing, so I won't.
Have your laughs, is fine. Just allow me my right to not get the joke.

As it happens, some of us are not so much bullies as industrialists looking for something to shift trit with, and if Capital Construction Parts have tanked now that we can see how well PI works, then Catalysts and Covetors will do fine.

Sorry for being a noob, and for not searching or reading through this whole thread to make sure it wasn't already answered, but how exactly do we "participate"? DO we have to sign up to be monitored somewhere, or do we have to send killmails to someone, or are you just gonna be monitoring Battle-clinic or something for all these? |

There will be a dedicated killboard for people to post their hulkageddon kills to, as there was in the previous two editions. This killboard is scrupulously monitored by my killboard elves who ruthlessly weed out cheaters and then sick Hydra on them.
The exact details of how to participate, where to find friends to play with if you have no buddies to fly with and where to hang out together will appear on the website in due time.
Actually someone just slap me next week if i dont post all that on the site.

Thanks.
I haven't participated in the past, and am just returning to eve after a decent leave, so I wasn't sure.
I hope to get into the running for some of these juicy prizes by jumping right back in to where the actions at! |

My hulk survived two of this event with no problem. This time, my hulk is not much used and stays parked most of the time. The victims will be specific people. They will be careless, afk, or operating in a fleet of macro driven hulk. There are many of these and these people hurt the mining profession badly. They are cheating in large numbers.
The probability is low that the hulk which is actively piloted will encounter problem. The risk today of the gank while mining anyplace in a hulk is only marginally less than when the actual event take place. When you consider number of participating hulk hunters compared to number of not participating people.. it is not very different.
The end result will be beneficial to the economy and to the mining profession.
If you worry that your hulk is at too much risk, then remember the basic rules of flying the hulk, which are true everyday but more so during this event. Watch local, mine in quite system which is off the main routes, be familiar with the other people in your system, talk to them and agree to alert local when suspect ship enter system. If you still feel at risk, switch to retriever for this time.
I will be hunting macro fleets in my covops.. and naming locations in channel. I want to see them torched and more... but cannot describe because CCP already warn me about extremism once. They hurt business for many and is to the miner benefit most of all to see them gone.
Is not hard to be safe. Eve is what it is.

Okay, so originally I thought Hulkageddon was a Macro-Miner's nightmare. However, it seems to be about griefing as many miners as possible, for.. the sake of what exactly?
The in-game economy is bogus right now because of Tyrannis, not because of a "booming Hulk population". What about all the budding corps with recently bought harvesting assets that you're going to end up destroying?
Risk in EVE is risk, everyone signs for it. But this is just ridiculous. You'll all no doubt cause a bunch of people to cancel their subs after billions in personal or corporate loss. Good game guys, good game.
Maybe go after the macro-miners specifically? Just a thought.

This has been advertised well in advance. Anyone still out mining is probably a macro unless they're not. It's a 50/50 chance.
And as for 'griefing as many miners as possible, for.. the sake of what exactly?', cash, prizes and amusement. Not necessarily in that order.

Ultimately it's an event in a game where people may have fun. Crazy concept. There's other things you can do if you don't see the point of Hulkageddon.
I know some high sec miners who find Hulkageddon hilarious and actually ridiculed me when I said I wouldn't want to be flying a hulk in high sec because of the risk.

Dear sir. I have taken the liberty to pull a quote from your own corps description in game.
"what do you want?"
always a tricky question that - says Kosh. But we hope you want the following:
- permanent base in a Wormhole (for mining, ratting & PvP)
Hulkageddon is a fun pvp exercise in a pvp based game. Why sir do you belong to a corp that has wormhole access (0.0 lawlessness, mind you) and boast for pvp if you are pussified into complaining here. HTFU comes to mind noob

What are you smoking? Anyone mining for this 2-week span is "probably a macro"? So all miners will be macro-miners for 2 weeeks as decreed by.. whom exactly, God?  Also, not everyone goes on the forums, most miners just don't. They visit the Science & Industry for tips, etc.. like myself, but I happened to catch mention of "Hulkageddon" and did a little research. Good thing I did.
The majority of miners getting ganked will not be macro-miners, and in fact, will have not heard of the hulkageddon announcement whatsoever. Sucks to be them.
This is a gank-fest, nothing more, and new players will be prime target.

I think somebody missed Triple Entendre's point right there. This is not a gank-fest. People have had ample warning about this, especially miners and anybody who frequent the forums and see the blaringly "HULKAGEDDON" thread title in crime and punishment section.
I'm pretty certain miners who log into the forums will have to go through the main page (where they clearly display all known forum sections including their science and industry section). This thread has been popping up uber frequently, so they're bound to do a bit of a double take and check it out just in case. If they are mining during the week of hulkageddon, either they've realized that:
A) They don't care, because they're cautious anyway and EVE taught them about a game where the aim is to climb to fame and fortune in any way possible - even if it's at the cost of other players.
B) They're macro miners
C) They ignore all blatant announcements of it, even the stamp of dev approval, and all the other potential announcements of excited EVE-goers.
D) They're macro miners.
See? 50/50.
Whine and cry all you like, but in the end, if you choose to not participate, you might end up as collateral.
I personally intend to enjoy this time as much as possible (and profit), though it may be at the expense of a few of my miner buddies.

Then make up your mind. It's either a gank-fest on mostly newer unaware players, or it's a coordinated effort to stop macro-miners.
The latter being a laughable excuse, at best. There isn't really anything a player event will do against macro-miners. They come back. Only CCP can handle macros with any meaningful purpose.
I'm not whining and crying. Like I said, everyone signs up for this game with risk in mind, but this is just an effort to grief players, considering the majority of your event's targets will be rookies just getting by.

The only thing that tweaks me is people saying they're doing it to stop macro-miners to some great and marvelous benefit. You're not fooling anyone, and no one thinks you're the police force for honorable miners. That's about all I wanted to add.
