Funny but as a Carebear myself, I get a kick out of this event. It has made me learn more about how to setup ships to counter this. Lets face it, enough ships jump a Hulk, it will go down, no matter how it is set up. The real challenge is when there are some ships that jump a Hulk making it a contest between fire power and the fitting.
Since my corp is at war I am not mining now anyhow, this doesn't affect me at all. Yep, Eve is harsh. Ideally we as miners would form a counter-event whereby no one would sell ANY ore or would only do it at inflated prices. This would really be fun and nothing that could be stopped by any ganker through in-game actions. Unless you started mining yourself. Since there is no skill needed to mine effectively (according to one post) you would all do just fine. |

Guys, Hulahoopaggedon seems to be a very funny event for the players who are participating. Actually i like the idea but please admit: u are just gankers. The lowest lifeform not only in eve online but in all the mmo of the world. No skill needed and the fun is onesided.
A lot of people doesn't seem to understand that skill or bragging about yuor killboard is not the point of Hulkaggeddon. It's the collection of Smack talk in local and rants on the board that makes it so fun. Yeah it's not very high minded, kind of college humor level, but it's sooooo much fun for people reading it 
I do not participate myself since my corp isn't about pvp but still I find it awesome

As much as I'd love to see more player run events akin to Hulkageddon, your suggestion to not sell the ore as a group event would be undermined by the macroers.
Now, if you did your event parallel to Hulkageddon, it'd make it really easy to find the macroers.

What we are doing is totally playing the game the way WE want to, the fact that Concord comes and destroys my ship and I receive a security status hit in no way makes what we are doing wrong, you see we are brainless selfcentered Jurks and that makes us right.
Yeah ME and everyone who loves to greef others - we are all powerful in our stupidity.
OH NO NOT SIX ENTIRE MONTHS OF TRAINING!! I bet at the crappy income you macrominers get would take six months to buy the hulk too
Anyone who mines in empire deserves what they get!

And me and my corp done lured in about 34 from last count of these idiots. with newbie miners cause they wont attack older toons in hulks or other barges.
We place bets on how long concord gets there. We fly out in newbie ships and or t1 frigs like exe,altrons, etc with sensor boosters and pop there pods with bets placed on how long before we get concorded and or if they get away. They have there version of fun we have ours.
That's awesome!
I maintain that Hulkageddon is like Eve's version of Halloween. Trick or treat!
Originally by: Zin Zy
Any statistic over failed attempts, where the miner came out victorious?
Now that would be fun reading
I concur.
It's a little harder to track though as there is no such thing as a "not killed" mail.
Fraps ftw though (or any free gameplay capture software that someone wouldn't mind pointing out to me).

COUNTER MEASURES - This has worked well for our corp. (yes, I am an alt) Our CEO has set a corp status of -10 with a transaction note of GANKER for all of those who are ganking our ships in the name of Hulkageddon. This makes them very noticeable in local. When they enter the system we drag and drop their character into local chat and enter GANKER. This tells all local that they are there, and appropriate actions can be taken. If everyone would start doing this the jurks would be totally trackable, maybe even create a thread listing the Characters/corps of all Hulkageddon gankers for public consumption. This would give them all the attention that they seem to crave and also leave them with no targets. Continueing this even after Hulkageddon may be an effective counter measure, Leaving the ganker with no targets and a brand of Ganker where ever they go.

If you ask me hulkageddon is really happening too many times. 3 times a year now sooner or later 4 or 5 times a year. Still time to make it 4 times as it hasn't been a year. First one, Sept. Second one Jan. Third time is current. I am not sure if anything can be done about other than hire mercs to take them out after the hulkageddon is over present them with name and have their best ships destroyed after hulkageddon.
any other suggestions.

Hahahaha. I love that because most miners are bads, they feel the need to hire mercs to enact revenge on people just fishing for tears. Good miners (lol) learn how to fit a decent tank, mine aligned, in other words, how to not be **** and avoid getting killed. It isn't that ****ing hard. Hulkageddon is just weeding out the weak. If you want a pvpless game, guess what- Eve isn't one. Get better, don't mine during Hulkageddon, or die repeatedly. If you can't accept those options, go run dailies in World of Grindcraft on a PVE server.
Also, mercs won't make gankers mad like gankers make you mad. Because the difference is that gankers understand that this is a game, and don't care about losing isk or getting griefed. The fact that you had to hire mercs already makes the gankers win. They got the reaction they wanted out of you. "lol u mad?"

1. I am not fishing for anything.
2. I haven't been ganked so stop with the idiocracy of your post thinking i am like the new players. I have been around a while.
3. Hulkageddon is weak and made for those that couldn't normally do pvp against other pvp'ers. Your probably one.
4. Anyone who has been playing long enough can probably afford 10 or more hulks (aka Me) and see that most that are into the weak hulkageddon don't stay in the same system but does move on.
5. I find that Hulkageddon does have 1 good purpose and that is to rid us of macro miners. Now if you want to be more effective in ridding us of them might want to try setting up some type system to do so involving us miners as was posted earlier in this thread.
Don't work harder, work smarter.
Please no poutting Avalont after this post i have excellent experience in dealing with poutting due to my 13 months old son.

You miss-read my post. I am obviously referring to the gankers that are fishing for tears.

Idiocracy? Do you mean idiocy? Anyway, nice try. If you haven't been ganked why would you give a damn about Hulkageddon? A sense of duty to protect other miners? Either way, I laugh in your general direction... Hulkageddon should be GOOD for you if you are a good miner, because mineral prices should go up.

You can afford 10 hulks? OH **** ***** WE'RE ****ED NOW. WE KILL ONE AND HE'S GOT 9 MORE WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO. *****ES DON'T KNOW ABOUT MINERS WITH 10 HULKS!!!!

I would respond to this but honestly I don't know what it means grammatically...

That isn't the point of Hulkageddon. The point is to grief people. Plain and simple. Again, by posting how you don't like it you are just playing into the hands of the people who like to do it. By all means continue posting.

This event has not effected me, nor am I participating beyond this comment:
I see a lot of participants boasting about how "harsh" and hardcore this game is. In Eve, they say, you are not safe unless you are in a station. Not even then, others assert, Eve is just that badass. There is so much e-peen flexing going on I needed to take six viagra just to post in this thread.
From where I sit you all look and sound more than a bit pitiful. It's like watching the unadulterated glee on the face of a Special Olympics winner, or a three year old in Spiderman pajamas, jumping on his bed, and yelling about how he is gonna kick some bad-guy ass, before he misses a landing and crashes to the floor in tears.
It's funny, yeah, but sad too.

Apparently there was a problem with my previous post, so I will conclude this here:
I think that it is pretty cool that the Developers have allowed us a sandbox such as this one to play in. I like that they are not actively policing this sandbox, even when some of the kiddies playing have decided that their funtime activities consist of kicking over everyone else's sandcastles or worse. But make no mistake: taking a steaming dump in the sandbox is not "hardcore," not when you are PROTECTED by the same ruleset that you are exploiting to grief these other players.
Play your event. Have fun! But for f***s sake stop with the ludicrous "We grief because we are just that hardcore" bullsh*t.

There are still many in Hulks and other mining vessels out there mining within high sec, and even within mid-sec areas. So the event isnt having much impact on any of them. Specially in ares with sec ratings 0.6 and up. All I've noticed then is an increase in Concord within the asteroid fields.
So to those saying its just dropped the community numbers, bzzzz, incorrect. I still see anything from 25000 to 40000 logging in when I log in. You must remember the time of year it is, many countries are either on winter/summer break or have exams running and the likes, so numbers may be down slightly. And just because you go into high sec areas and find very little in the way of players doesnt mean they are on. Many do go and do other things in low sec. I've seen many fleets formed for mining low sec just to keep away from those camping gates and asteroid fields.
