Vaerah Vahrokha wrote:Only emergent hi sec player I have seen this year is Solstice Project. He brings a new dimension to hi sec in his Thrashers. James 315 has emerged only in the sense that he managed to convince otherwise conservative investors into giving him 13B. Technically it's more of a "cinema ticket" than an investment. A fairly expensive ticket, considering the minimal efforts required to get a Stabber. Prolonged bump + racket is something I have witnessed (and fought against by supporting an anti-gank corp) since 1+ years ago, it's really nothing new under the sun. Even his presence imo is somewhat too limited. Some of my alts currently live in one of his "new order" systems, I don't see a real "new order", some annoyance at best. New order was when Bat Country would make tabula rasa for 23/7. THAT was emergent game play, in the sense nobody else would create such effective and prolonged activities. Overall, once let the loud self emperor declaring words, I find that the capsuleers cemetery or even the EvE RL charity fund are more emergent than this.
Wow, look who's butt-hurt about his own initiative not being mentioned as emergent gameplay.
And do you even see your own double standard? James 315 is not emergent because it is "nothing new", but shooting pods for bragging rights is emergent, though there's nothing new about that either? James 315 has a "limited presence" with just a few systems but some guy always hanging out in the same system is somehow dominating the universe? I'd ask what you were thinking when you wrote that, but cleary you weren't thinking at all.
(Btw, James 315 raised 20B so far; I'm not sure where you got the 13B figure)

Title says 20B; last edit was at 01:05 last night.
I'm glad you saw that your own double standard made so little sense it wasn't worth spending a single word defending it.

Not necessarily perhaps, but it is, isn't it? Your posting habits suggest you sleep from about midnight to 06:00 game time.

There's no double standard at all.
You called what Solstice Project does 'emergent', but you dismissed what James 315 does as 'nothing new' and 'limited'. There is your double standard. If "bumping some AFK dude" is not emergent then neither is podding some autopiloting dude.
None of your examples have anything to do with this.

You still have to pay for an indulgence though. Not being AFK prevents you from losing your indulgence after you paid for it.

Your posting habits suggest you sleep from about midnight to 06:00 game time. On last week's Friday my RL trader mentor has started a special project, chose 3 people (me being one of them) and put them to work hard as hell. My posting habits and sleep since then are not exactly... standard. And leave me less time to post on the forums for sure.
I checked the exact times of your posts in the last two months. There's a big dip in your posts between 22:00 and 05:00 (sorry I was off a bit with my eyeballed "midnight to 06:00"). In two months, you have never posted between 02:00 and 04:00. So I call BS on your implication that 01:05 might be 'morning' to you. Why don't you just admit it isn't?
Solstice Project wrote:No she hasn't and i wouldn't even blame her for believing i'm just like the average guy.
She can't know that i not only shoot pods, but also actually entertain the people of Hek, when i'm around.
Indeed I have not seen you in action; in any case I have no problem at all with what you do, whatever you do exactly. My point is that it is idiotic for Vaerah Vahrokha to praise what you do while dismissing what James 315 does, because you are doing the same thing James 315: using the game to entertain people, which is great. My qualification of your actions as just "podding some autopiloting dude" was to compare it to Vaerah Vahrokha's qualification of James 315's actions as just "bumping some AFK dude"
(tl;dr: what Petrus Blackshell said)

Seems to work, mostly.....one bumper got so pissed he forgot he was up in hisec and got CONCORDOKKENED....was pretty funny.
So it looks like a few of the ice miners are awake and adapting, it seems.
Good luck trying to counterbump a 3km/s Stabber Fleet Issue

A typical incoherent response.
"Hah! Countering you is easy!"
"We will adapt!"
"You will be made useless"
"You have no impact"
If we have no impact and fail, why do we still need to be made useless? Why do you need to adapt if we have no effect? Is counterbumping necessary if what we're doing is useless?
I have yet to see a single counterbump btw; all I've seen so far is miners getting out their combat ship, with predictable results.

It wouldn't be very logical for the New Order of Highsec to operate in 0.0, would it? Not until the whole of highsec has been Orderified anyway.

I answered the only new thing you said in your post (the thing about 0.0). Everything else is just the same old same old. You can consider the New Order useless all you like - it's like a kid putting his hands of his ears and closing his eyes, pretending everything is fine as long as he doesn't hear or see a thing.

The last few posts on the blog are on our road trip last Sunday to Gallente space, to preach the New Order to the miners who are feeling the pressure of the ice interdiction

DeadSea Youngblood wrote:I've been following minerbumping for months now, and as a new player, I applaud this fascinating and interactive way of playing and making isk the New Order has shown so many. My question is when will Ccp buff bumping so that the payouts are on par with missioning, mining, and FW? Will we be receiving our own Lp store? How will our NPC agents be dispersed?
The New Order will be a subdivision of CONCORD, with CONCORD stations and the CONCORD LP store. Bumping miners will increase your security status, with an extra boost for bumping afk or botting miners. Missions will include bumping miners to a target location 30, 50, or 100 km away (depending on level). This is gonna be awesome!

Is it? It seems CCP disagrees with you, because CCP has rejected petition after petition, not once agreeing with miners' claims that Miner Bumping is griefing.

You have a double standard. What exactly does a solitary or afk ice miner bring to a MMORPG? If "contributing" is your Golden Standard, surely someone interacting with others contributes more than someone just sitting there next to a big icey rock?

We're just showing them the Light; miners should rejoice at being saved from their boring interaction-less tediousness. Instead, they go "you meanies aren't contributing anything", and I'm just saying that's a stupid argument coming from a miner.

I think it's useless arguing Jonah. These people don't see the benefit of paying 10M for a year of hassle-free mining, they certainly won't understand paying anything at all for something as intangible as the awesomesauce that is the New Order.
