What we need is an authoritative, citable, linkable statement from a Dev....

I spend my days bumping miners because I am a little fat man with no friends in real life and no hope for ever doing anything productive in society. I am also so risk adverse that I have to do it in highsec hiding in an NPC corp.

Did I hit the nail on the head?

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."

What is this i don't even...

What is this... I dont' even... are there rumors flying about banning bumpers??? a totally legit gameplay tactic?

What is this... I dont' even... are there rumors flying about banning bumpers??? a totally legit gameplay tactic?

And I thought I was dancing on the brink of insanity...

My beloved Devs, allow me to clarify one thing right of the bat. I am NOT asking for CCP to acknowledge James 315's sovereign claim to highsec systems, or his titles of Father of the New Order, Supreme Protector of Halaima, or Savior of Highsec. I (unlike many carebears) am not asking for any special treatment whatsoever for James or his followers.-á

*Flattered to be mistaken for the great orator James 315*

Ah yes, we're all James, and he's Mittens, so we're all Mittens...

As my first act as rightful chair of the CSM, I hereby demand more J+ñger-bombs.

No, you as far as I know are the only James alt. *at least the only one who post* And of that, there is no doubt.

So I don't get to be Mittens?

Everyone has their role to play. Not everyone can be a King, some have to be the Jester.

Your darling James315 inability to understand some basic stuff, like for instance, in a SANDBOX game people can choose to play differently from him, I can safely admit Darwin law is something he has no clue about.

Nor you either.

in a sandbox he can also choose to punt your mackinaw out of range

ergo, he chooses to punt your mackinaw out of range

My
The carebears must now adapt, and they're understandably upset, they're not used to being asked to do that.

I predict 2-3 years down the road when CCP implements a collision damage model, hordes of New Order faithful will flock to the forums and whine that their important emergent method of gameplay has been unfairly nerfed.


Actually I just thought bumping this thread seemed entirely appropriate.

Removed some posts for inappropriate language.

How's that going btw? Is your attempt to relaunch ice interdiction because you missed it last November succeeding?

Can he still bump you if you're orbiting the roid?

Since several devs have commented in the thread and said nothing related to the topic, we'll make this simple.

If you're a carebear and you don't like bumping, form up the largest group you can get together in plated, MWD battleships and report to Uedama and Niarja. Put up a can (or cans, the message is long) on each gate that says "there is now a 25million ISK toll for passing through this system. Failure to pay will result in perma bumping."

Bump everything that passes through that system until there is a complete meltdown of freight traffic in EVE. THEN see what CCP has to say. Bonus points if you do this on the Jita undock as well.

If it's legal, it's legal. Right? All you have to do is say the magic words that make it "profit-related" and then make CCP eat their words. The only way this situation is going to get handled is to break the system completely. It's that simple. They won't do anything until the absurdity and stupidity of it can no longer be denied.

Collision damage was already tried and removed from the game.

Getting stale. If it's not one thing, it's another. Before long the miners are going to whine they have to undock to get to the belts, and that the belt should float around in the docking area.

Your darling James315 inability to understand some basic stuff, like for instance, in a SANDBOX game people can choose to play differently from him, I can safely admit Darwin law is something he has no clue about.

lol all the haters...

But of course, somebody who is actually creating content
and distances himself from all the lemmings,
who all do more or less the same **** like everybody else...

... of course they hate those with visions.
Those who do different things. Those who stand out from the crowd.

What else could they do, but whine/rage about it?

The biggest inconvinience is the mirrored image of ones own incapabilities.

I'm no supporter of james, but which part of "sandbox" do you have trouble with, in particular?

Holy crap I have to fix my sec status because this is amazing.

I predict 2-3 years down the road when CCP implements a collision damage model, hordes of New Order faithful will flock to the forums and whine that their important emergent method of gameplay has been unfairly nerfed.

You can come out to null-sec and mine ice. We always need miners to gather ice to keep our POSes, jumpbridges, and jump freighters fueled.

The one where there's no barbecues. I love barbecues.

So you're just going to admit right up front that "sandbox" doesn't mean "anyone can do what they want - as long as they don't mess with me"?

Bumping people?

Seriously?

What kind of carebear coward version of ganking is this?

Also, am I supposed to know who James is?

Yes it's definitely sad to see people go down the drain like that. Even sadder that some fall for scum like him and actually pay him. Maybe I'll just bring a alt down there to see how long they actually focus on bumping me from the roids.

.... So pathetic .....

What the **** is your issue exactly ?

Are you mad because he plays the way he wants to,
which includes making other peoples ingame-life miserable ?

You do know it's a game, right ?

Yes it's definitely sad to see people go down the drain like that. Even sadder that some fall for scum like him and actually pay him. Maybe I'll just bring a alt down there to see how long they actually focus on bumping me from the roids.

.... So pathetic .....

Waits for the crimewatch changes in the next release when idiots like self proclaimed "king of bumping" gets bounties are us placed on him.

Can see it now..........a wild bumper appears in ice belt and is greeted by a mahoosive swarm of drones :)))))

Except its missing his unearned sense of accomplishment.

They'll bump you until you get bored and log off or pay the man. In the gathering he organised the other week his supporters and agents managed to completely shut down an ice belt apart from the one miner who payed up, they also managed to annoy the hell out of miners in another 2 systems.

James315 is running the internet spaceships equivalent of an extortion racket, he's not going to get banned for it anytime soon because it's using legitimate game mechanics to achieve a goal and it's basically the high sec equivalent of holding something to ransom. It's emergent gameplay and creates player driven content/conflict.

I know for a fact that some of his shareholders are miners, either individuals like myself or entire corporations who are sick of seeing afk miners just plugging away all day while they watch movies, do the laundry or any other afk activity. Miners don't have to be afk even if it is mind numbingly boring, two monitors is a wonderful thing as is running Eve in fixed window mode so you can have something like VLC or a browser that supports flash running over the top of Eve and still see the UI.



Much more hilarious when people place bounties on the ice miners and the entire belt gets swamped by people in cruisers without Concord intervention.

It will be funny, because those people will get hit by concord, I hope more people missread it like you do.

If those people in cruisers don't have kill rights on the miners and attack them, they'll be Concordokken - bounty or no bounty on the ice miners.

Putting a bounty on someone after the revamp doesn't disable Concord response.

in a sandbox he can also choose to punt your mackinaw out of range

ergo, he chooses to punt your mackinaw out of range

Who is James 351?

Handy to know about the crimewatch/bounty integration. TY for clearing it up, but it plays the other way to, if someone places a bounty on James315's head and miners let loose with drones, they'll get concorded.

James315 is multi alt poster who makes threads like this to bring attention to himself, he is a good scammer for sure, last count I think he has take people for like 13 billion. and people like Jonah above love him. He thinks his mision in life is to save eve online.

Unless I've read it completely wrong, activating a bounty on someone and then exploding them will not incur concords wrath. If I have read it completely wrong please link me to a concise and clear explanation of the new bounty system and how it integrates with crimewatch 2.0.

You're confusing killrights being sold with bounties being placed.

Going to be a common mistake, hilarity will ensue

James315 is multi alt poster who makes threads like this to bring attention to himself, he is a good scammer for sure, last count I think he has take people for like 13 billion. and people like Jonah above love him. He thinks his mision in life is to save eve online.

How is it a scam?, everybody who gave him money knows that it's never going to come back, pretty much the same as giving to charity, putting money in the collection tray in church or throwing a few coins at a busker. With James and a busker we at least get entertainment value out of it

James 315 is a player who took a mundane mechanic, a bunch of AFK miners, and the fact Eve encourages innovative and emergent gameplay, and built himself a new extortionist playstyle and a following*. He has wrapped it in a semi-RP "savior of hisec" mantra, which many people can't see for what it is (just enjoying the damn game) and instead label him as megalomaniacal, insane, or other things. If you want to see anger, mention him on the forums.

*If you believe naysayers, the "following" is just James' infinite alts. OP and I happen to be a couple examples. I think The Mittani is also one.

Perhaps when I call him delusional I am playing that same game. For the record, it's kinda' fun watching crazy people try to justify everything. Post on, I say!

confirming bumping miners is hilarious
killmail

How did he get Concorded?

I am fortunate enough to have witnessed James 315's operations first hand as I live close to one of his claimed systems.

I was impressed at how professional the whole thing went down. He was in a fleet issue Stabber I think, and moving around at incredible speeds. The miners who were operating without a license were most upset at being caught mining illegally.

What is this i don't even...

Reading his Blog reminds me a lot of when I read Lord of the Flies. It goes plain beyond ridiculous on both sides.

I love it.

The thing is... no one will bother about a bounty on a t1 stabber that is used for bumping (Only a fraction of it is going to be paid out).

A bounty on a T2 ship, like...let's see...a Mackinaw or Hulk with "relatively" small tank however is going to be MUCH more lucrative

I'm no supporter of james, but which part of "sandbox" do you have trouble with, in particular?

I've never heard of you before Roime

Dear narrow minded morons,
In a sandbox I can do whatever the **** I want to you as long as I'm not exploiting bugs or hacking. THAT is just one of the reasons it's a sandbox.

solution to bumping inbalances

realistic collision modeling

halo does it, why cant eve online, its not that hard. Small vehicle hits tank, small vehicle explodes/dies, heck flight simulators going back into the 90's have had some form of collision modeling even!

Small ship (mwd destroyer) hits big ship (hulk). Small ship explodes/dies. It makes too much sense

I'd be A-okay with someone working this to build a super speed mach and ramming ships with it. They would need to accept they'd get blasted into half armor each time though and that may not be enough to kill say, a well tanked exhumer of the largest size (hulk)

Rubber ships has to go. Also base collision damages according to ship class/size not specifics like mass/weight and whatnot while that could be fun it could be too complicated. I think just basic size vs size collision modeling is the way to go

So if CCP declares bumping ice miners to be an exploit tomorrow morning, you'd be fine with that?

edit:

This is really a two part question. The first part is that people will often say "if it's in teh rules, it's fine, because it's a sandbox. But then in some other occasion, they'll say "oh, the rules need to be changed, this is bad for the game". This makes their earlier argument seem hypocritical, as they switch back and forth between these two contradictory positions depending on whether the current official interpretation of the rules supports their position or not. I'm not specifically accusing you of that, but it's pretty common in this issue and you're kinda implying it by seeming to accept the latter type of arguments made elsewhere in this thread.


The second point is that since James started the moralistic discussion overlaid on the "allowed or not" sandbox basics, and then these people are responding to him in kind, it's somewhat backwards for you to take issue with these respondents for arguing moralistically rather than on the basis of legality. Since he initiated moving the debate to that ground, it would be much more appropriate for you all to direct those kinds of criticism to him. Not that there's much hope of reaching any progress on this debate, as certain parties obviously have secondary motives and will never listen, but when arguments are made to the incorrect parties like this it just makes the threads even longer and more circular.

they already did that, it didn't work out

Also Jita undock

Seriously, the **** is wrong with some of you? If bumping wasn't allowed, CCP would have done something when you guys reported it, but instead they said "WE LIKE IT!!!!"

Stop ignoring what you're being told, accept it, and start orbiting the ******* asteroids instead of being complete morons about it.

PS: It's not bad for the game, because it's a sandbox. Get over it.

I predict 2-3 years down the road when CCP implements a collision damage model, hordes of New Order faithful will flock to the forums and whine that their important emergent method of gameplay has been unfairly nerfed.

blah blah James Alt babble blah blah *snip*

Bad alt BAD! Keep your eye on the prize!

Actually what is even funnier is an idiot who would believe the claims of a character known mainly for making outlandish foolish claims lol?

How is this emergent gameplay?

John Galls Systemantics laws:
1. Everything is a system

2. No system exists in isolation. It is always part of a larger meta system
and contains an infinite number of subsystems.

3. All systems are infinitely complex.
The illusion of simplicity is achieved only by ignoring most of the factors.

Have to say I loved how much you put in there. Gives me stuff to read and learn from. I still stand by what I said, doing what everyone else has done but LOUDER is not emergent. The "Miner, pay me or I make your life hell by bumping," is as old as eve. I don't need to think at a deeper level to call it what it is, recycled and redressed.

You *really* *should* care to explain why you believe it's recycled and redressed, as you say ...

I like to think he once saw a log over a creak and when he saw London Bridge or the Golden Gate he was like that's not impressive, I saw that before, logs have been doing that for years.

Personally, i don't know anybody who did this before he did it, so i call it "different",
especially because nobody gives any indication of it not actually being "new".

James 315 is a boss-hog. I have enjoyed his blogs and lol at all the awesomeness that he provides. Seeing how much fun James 315 is having while playing spaceships gives me one more thing to do if i start to get bored with what ever i am currently doing. Hats off to James 315 for playing how he wants to play.

Hater gon hate.

8 of people arguing against strawmen, on all sides of the debate. It'd be much more productive if we had a brainstorming session on possible improvements to the collision system. Or, my personal favorite, we put James315 out of business by moving all ice to lowsec/nullsec. That's a win/win, highseccers will no longer get bumped, and afk/bot ice miners will now get killed lickety split.

What about just increase the barge/exhumer mass by 1000x.

lol the New Order would just bring more bumping Machs

Ramming causes damage to both ships and is treated as an attack. Problem solved.

Now this would still allow a "bumper" to push a miner into another miner. But that would take a) a skill which is not currently required and b) people to be brain dead or afk.

Great idea. I'll just sit outside Jita 4-4 and watch the fireworks.

What is this i don't even...

I'm amazed to see how much attention some unimportant guy gets on the forums based on the fact that he manages to be slightly annoying in one out of hundreds of systems.

I'm also somewhat amused by the "OMG IT'S A SANDBOX GAME" crew, and the indignation and rage they show when someone disagrees with THEIR ways of playing in the sandbox. Hai Solstice.

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)

3) I pasted the number on his thread title I have seen this morning. If he does not keep it updated it's not my fault.

The real gripe with James (hilarious as he may be) is not that he bumps miners, but that miners can do nothing about it. You cant bump him back, thats pointless. You can't shoot him, you can't even wardec him. You cant fit anti-bumping mods. Ignoring him and hoping you have more patience is hardly a winning plan.

In every other instance of harassment there is something you can do about it, kill rights for ganks, flags for stealing your loot, etc. I don't know exactly what would be a good mechanic that wouldn't be used by gankers to lure noobs to flag themselves, but I'm sure some form of system can be dreamt up.

What I have yet to see is an explanation from the bumper camp as to why they should be invulnerable to retaliation from the miners, or the miners friends. What they do may not be against the EULA, but that is no reason for why they should be safe in EvE. Surely James has enough isk for a few more stabbers saved up somewhere?

So tell me bumpers, exact mechanics aside, do you think there should be flagging for what you do? And if no, does that not make you the very worst form of self hating carebears?

You could pay him, or dodge his bumps. Or... you know, be at your keyboard, respond, and he won't bump you. Or are you saying that you should be able to PvP while not at your keyboard?

This is untrue, in my observation he preferentially bumps those that are at their keyboard and respond, in an attempt to get them to pay him money or pay him with tears.

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.

I refer you to The Code, for your perusal. Being at your keyboard and not botting is in accordance to The Code, and lets you remain in good standing with the Order.

Your "last night" is not necessarily my "last night".

There's no double standard at all.

I refer you to The Code, for your perusal. Being at your keyboard and not botting is in accordance to The Code, and lets you remain in good standing with the Order.

I refer you to This Post by James315 , which proves you wrong yet again.

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

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.

Have you actually *seen* what he does? He plays as -10 in hi sec like hi sec was nullsec or at least he makes it look like it is so.
It's awesome!

I have not seen anyone playing how he does. He does not just sit at a gate (he could not) waiting for the noob.

I think the point was that reducing anything to its base actions makes everything boring, not just James' bumping. For instance, Chribba just does trading, no big deal. The Mittani just tells a bunch of people what to do. You just push some buttons on your keyboard and then click a button that says "Post".

Could you elaborate on that, please ?

Could you elaborate on that, please ?

Wouldn't it be more productive, if you really were interested in discussing boredom, to find traditionally boring activities, find people who enjoy them, and then ask them why they enjoy them? That would still be way offtopic in this thread, of course, but if you find a place to do that, that would be a way do move it forward in a productive direction.

Why would you ask him to? It's completely irrelevant, he's arguing against some hypothetical line of debate about which things are more boring, which is inherently pointless and which I haven't even seen being made in this thread. It's a giant pointless strawman fallacy.

I'm not sure what elaboration it requires. While James is technically doing "nothing new" from a mechanical point of view, I have never heard of a united and profitable anti-AFKer campaign in hisec featuring bumping as its main tactic. Calling it "just bumping miners, which is as old as Eve" is like calling Solstice's stuff or the Goonswarm ice interdiction "just hisec-ganking, which is as old as Eve". It discredits these efforts by reducing them to as simple terms as possible.

As another example, saying Shakespeare "just wrote some words" is technically true, but also quite unfair.

I guess it's none of your business why i asked him.

On a funny sidenote: You ask me to do something productive, while you yourself aren't productive at all. Nice.

Hardly anyone pays for indulgences.

It's not profitable, as an anti-AFK'er campaign. Hardly anyone pays for indulgences.

It's very profitable, as a "pay to join cool club", which is definitely not new. It's obviously emergent gameplay, despite not being new. I think Vaerah is operating with a personal definition of 'emergent' which specifically disallows gameplay which is both not innovative, and consists of getting a group of people together to bully others, from being called emergent. Like Solstice already mentioned, emergent behavior is actually the norm not the exception when it comes to interactions of things which are already wellsprings of emergence, like living things, so any time you start throwing around emergence as a positive worthy goal, these redefinitions are quite common.

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.

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.

I guess you answered a rhetorical question. Oops.

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".

How do you figure?

You're a hater. No point in talking to you any further.

although 99% of the people are just boring assholes only caring about themselves.

Interesting.
