I'm pretty sure the Scram/Web/Shooting gets you concordokkened. And happens to result in the bumper winning at the same time, since they will get kill rights on you come Retribution, to activate at their leisure to then kill your Hulk/Mack/Skiff with no Concordokken happening to protect you. And also means you have stopped mining to go and get another ship to bump them with.
All of which means Bumpers win.

There is no way for a miner to win against the Bumping tactic.

So my advice to miners. HTFU. Take the bumping. Use Orbit to drag you back into range of your roids when possible. Use a prop mod & pulse it on a Exhumer (Barges lack the slots), Warp to a safe, then to the other side of the belt. Warp to a different belt. But DO NOT pay the bumpers. Paying the bumpers simply encourages them. Even if you technically 'loose' money by not paying, it only makes sure they will keep going if you do pay.
Unless you are totally afk, it's not going to ruin your day, it's only going to cost you a few minutes of mining, and if they keep singling you out in the middle of a crowd of 200 miners for hours/days, then complain about directed harrassment. Till they spend days just bumping you and not even letting you warp out/back to station, it's just a business scam they are trying to run.

Capt Lynch, cool your jets.

No one is telling you to quit EVE. If they do, forward me the EVEmail so I can deal with them. Otherwise I must assume you are going back to your old tricks and conducting an "experiment" with the truth. No more lies, please.

As I said before, you are always welcome to join the New Order and become a miner-bumper if you cannot find a corporation that suits you. Right now it seems we're the best friends you've got left in this game. Don't burn any more bridges.

Bumping is the emergent counter to the massive EHP buff you got a few months ago which caused Suicide Ganking untanked, AFK mining ships to become unprofitable. Before that, you could tank your ship and largely avoid being bothered. Now, you can't because the only sustainable way to bother you is through bumping.

Please don't pretend we're buddies. I don;t like you and probably never will.

See, when you say things like that, it makes my Agents not want to help you.

You can run plenty of missions in lowsec and nullsec. But if you want to live in highsec, you're going to need to make friends, especially with the people who run highsec--namely me and my Agents. It's no different than if you wanted to live in northern nullsec, where you would need to befriend the Goons, or southern nullsec, where you would need to befriend TEST.

If your choice is to run missions in highsec, respect and obey the New Order. Fair enough?

I'd like to know CCPs position on this James 315 guy constantly making forum alts to clutter up the forums with threads to cry for attention to his "cause".

Seriously.

None the less, it does a great disservice to the miners, sustaining their hope that James and us agents are one bump away from the ban-hammer. The sooner they realize that CCP is not coming to save them, the sooner they can accept our presence and move on, adapt, or who knows, maybe even embrace The New Order. So please bare in mind that I ask this not for myself or James, or The New Order, but for the poor miners who stagnate in their perpetual wait for Superman.

Who among you Devs, GMs, and ISDs will dare come out of the closet as fans of The New Order? Supporters??Members?!?! :D

As for you...when I paid your fine so you wouldn't attack ACE...you decided after I left that it didn't apply to your agents and the griefing continued. I've spoken to two of your agents and even they think you're going too far with this insanity.

Your excuse that people can play EVE how they want works both ways and last I checked...words are just words and cannot hurt anyone unless you're psychotically unstable, James.

Nobody runs highsec last time I checked unless you suddenly purchased CCP while I wasn't looking.

...you egotistical, neurotic borderline dictator.

And last I heard - nothing is stopping anyone from running HS either. Nothing that I've heard of stops anyone from plopping a sign on their desk that says 'New Order of Highsec' and gives them the title of 'Savior in Chief'. Nothing stops anyone else from walking in and breaking his sign either. CCP allows, and I believe even encourages, that sort of thing. Minimal rules. Sandbox. This one I think they call 'Emergent Gameplay'. Part of it you are...

... you even have a speaking part and maybe you'll get listed in the credits at the end of the show. Better than just being some window licker watching from the outside wouldn't you say ...
The best ones are. It's part of the job requirements. Egotistical Dictator 101. 3 credit hrs.

Agreed...but he doesn't have to be such a smug ******* about it..

You call it ... whatever the forum filters felt was not to be seen, but surely not flattering - we call it part of his rogueish, benevolent charm. It's a matter of perspective I suppose.

And about that credited part in Emergent Gameplay: best not google your name...

I have friends in Highsec but you're not one of them, you egotistical, neurotic borderline dictator.

Ah, www.Minerbumping.com, a very satisfying website, in its simplicity.

An engrossing narrative of epic proportions! I laughed. I cried. Actually I laughed so damn hard I was crying...

Ah yes...a simple site run by a simple idiot

Why don't you put your personal issues aside and think for a minute.

How can a man be an idiot, when he actually makes all of this happen ?
It's a game. He plays the way he can and is allowed to play.

What do you do, that's actually comparable ?

I do the same...I play how I want to play and I should be able to without some idiot charging me 10 million isk for the privilage.

That's not an answer to my question.

I asked, what you do that's COMPARABLE to what he does.

He obviously influences quite a few lives with what he does. Actively.

And you ? What kind of content do you create ?

"I do the same...I play how I want to play and I should be able to without some idiot charging me 10 million isk for the privilage."

Rebel against the authority that may suppress you.

As if.

Lemmings die for their irrelevance.
