There are already a growing number mining happily away, and as their trick spreads, this number will quickly grow until the ice fields are full of miners again in like 2 days max.
It was a nice idea, but just didnt work out.
aww look at this adorable post from the perspective of today with devastated, empty fields and miners running from gallente space, even amarr miners now being killed just for sport because genesis is just across the border
we are devoting perhaps one quarter of one of our tech moons worth of income to have bounties on miners, and the alliance is becoming addicted to the carnage
build more brutixes, md; build more brutixes. |

You are a good alliance leader, but not a capitalist. A serious capitalist don't try to stockpile because such an investment gives no profit. Read this book instead of using hilarious paintings from China on Kugu.
i've read das kapital and watched the david harvey lectures, i know a thing or two about stuff, also money
since i retired at 31
i was mocking the md idiots who have been howling that this won't make any impact due to stockpilesstockpilesstockpiles. |

Maybe I'd fly some fun ships in PvP and get some friends to come with me by reimbursing their losses. Also I'd probably spend the ISK to increase my financial clout to the point where the CSM was lined with good friends so that I could direct the course of the entire game. Just some thoughts.
hey this sounds like a good plan vio let's do this

Tasko Pal wrote:I don't get all the drama over the Goons' finances. To be honest, they sound like one of the most economically aware alliances out there. Sure, they could wring more out of their space at the alliance level, but that sort of thinking reminds me of the slack-jawed yuppies in those finance tv commercials who worry that their money could be "doing more". Their alliance could also be "doing less", say, if it broke up or got chased out of nullsec.
Edit: Finding a profitable use for "ADD-addled, barely literate man children" has got to count for something too.
alliances are often run as ponzi schemes to extract capital and then they fail militarily. see: every NC alliance
goonswarm is basically a stalinist institution, we try to spend all the isk our alliance accumulates on our members as rapidly as possible so they don't have to suffer through the worst aspects of the game (ie, PVE of any kind) and can focus on grief and hate |
