There is nothing like smartbombing 6 Mackinaws to death and watching all their pods sitting there, trying to mine for hours after you killed their ships. In a week, that kind of thing won't exist anymore...at least not in Gallente space. I'd hardly call that a "douche move" and I bet lots of other people agree.

You know what would be really amazing is if they figured out a way to crash the price of these isotopes. All those speculators thayt bough shitloads of oxygen isos would be ******

see the ship kills "and lols were had be all"

Lets see some remote repped buffertanked hulks in ice drilling action so that the goons get something lil more challenging to do.

Whaa?

Even the copious quantities of "Mack bots" cottoned on to your cunning plan?

Smart bots.... Really.

well given that you guys cant keep this up 24/7 (I noted that earlier an was lolled at by your own people cause youll get fired from your jobs etc)
so yes, youre all kinds of badass when you have the time to get into the belts. When you dont though, the miners return, the supply continues. All youve done is make speculators jack up the prices, and smart people like me rich as we bought all kinds of isotopes before the prices went crazy lol
thanks for that btw

lol how I expected all thise red bars that say "view post" keep getting new goons to post here. I like updating the list
Good question tho; why is the price of Oxygen Isotopes dropping if you guys are cutting off the supply so hard core?

Wow. There really is no place or purpose for a new player in all this. All territory is locked down with power blocks in cold war. Big boys just pissin' on the rest... pointless.

Lol, well you have eyes here, and they just ganked a poor retriever, yet they seem unwilling to tackle the hulk....and he's been here all along....

Here's the catch 22 to the situation;

If the price of ice products see's inflation, the rest of the game will see inflation. So nanoribbons, loot, salvage, bpc's, bpo's, and every service in the game will cost more.

So while I will pay more money, I will make more money. And while they are getting people to gank, they will be making money from the market fiasco they are creating. This is EvE, opportunity cost rules. They are cutting themselves short and can't do it indefinitely. Since everything is inflating, they will still lose more opportunity cost than they gain.

The only market with exceptionable money to be made on during all this? PLEX. And you already have have had the PLEX beforehand.

And the RMT ******* and botters already have plenty.

Brilliant strategy.

Especially for known botters and gold sellers.

Did we kill any miners today?

And remember kids: A 1400mm arty Apoc will alpha a Hulk regardless of CONCORD or logistics support!

For when that carebear absolutely, positively has to die!

(4:59:43 PM) syndic_thrass: waeaselior
(4:59:45 PM) syndic_thrass: use an apoc
(4:59:50 PM) syndic_thrass: with arty
(4:59:50 PM) [email protected]/Meebo: hmm
(4:59:58 PM) [email protected]/Meebo: does it have more turrets?
(4:59:59 PM) syndic_thrass: 8 turrets>7
(5:00:01 PM) [email protected]/Meebo: ahh
(5:00:02 PM) syndic_thrass: yeah
(5:00:02 PM) [email protected]/Meebo: ok

You ******* serious?

/me awakens refreshed.

Yawn. Stretch. Wha?! Goons are still padding this!!

Ohhh.... Better join in...


Nope Mittens. I never attributed the post to you. Others did.

You can't write anywhere near as good as Endie. You just talk a lot.



And Zagdull,
2 out of 3 ain't bad.

- Yes you are a puppet
- No I am not Riv
- And your name is spelt with 2 LL's - Zagdull. You just spelt it wrong when ya made the toon. "DopeyTwit" was already taken.

Jeez. And you guys are CEO's....

Actually. Yeah. That makes sense.

artypocs can do a 36k hp Alpha?

Ahh, gotcha


(more artypocs?)

All I saw in local ice field were a few ice miners making huge profits while goons tried and failed to gank them.

Maybe your initial attack cleared out the robo miners... But you guys def did not keep up the pressure. -á

As the markets are already showing. -á -á -á

Popped into Brap again this afternoon, and ice mining seemed to be in full effect..Not a lot of Macks on the field, though there were some RR effects going and maintenance bots flying around.

What I did not notice was a lack of idle pods as compared to the other day.

This is "player-generated content" in as much as shitting on some canvas is art.

Stupid enough to be a Goon. Recruit him.

Ok, excuse my ignorance on this, but how do I go about identifying a bot ?

Well real miners could also use smart bombing ships just to pod those konkorden gankers, after all most of them pay over 30M for new clones.

Can be fun

Congrats to Goons for coming up with a great IDea and then executing it. I love emergent gameplay.

Obviously Goons hegemony presents a problem for the rest of the players if it continues. For example they can announce that they are going after some other commodity and not even have to implement it, but make millions on market speculation. Insider trading like this is completely illegal in RL - will CCp have to implement some sort of FCC laws on the market as a result - a concord of the wallets? It will be interesting to see what comes after the drone regions rebalance the Ice deficit.
