These poor mentally deranged miners are the ones the New Order seeks to save

No it isn't.

Cycle of nullsec, perhaps. There's certainly more evidence that no nullsec organisation can hold power for ever. But miner bumpers? Of course they can; nobody wants them gone except miners, and miners aren't going to do anything about it.

Yet another "nonviolent" type putting his playstyle above others' in a bid for self-identified moral superiority.

Minerbumpers may have not gotten enough hugs. I guess that's not an unreasonable assumption.

But what could mommy have done to spur such intolerance for gamesmanship in high-sec miners, then?

It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.

Sir, this is a game about competition.

If I disrupt your play in a way that potentially brings me gains in-game, I have out-gamed you.

If I taunt you with the possibility and you just give in ahead of time, that's gamesmanship.

Gamesmanship.

You didn't even know what "gamesmanship" was, but you say my argument failed.

Bumping miners has the potential to earn them ISK from permits.

So you're wrong again. How's that feel?

James 315 publishes regular financials to his investors.

Sadly, you are mistaken again.

It's ok though, all you have to do to end the streak is say, "I was wrong."

You continue to ignore the potential gains from the miners' failed resolve yielding 10M ISK for a permit.

Game unbroken. Mining may continue as usual.

Why do you continue to ignore the possibility for financial gain and just imply this is broken?

Do you hate the sandbox?

Things are probably worse than you realize. It isn't a campaign against AFK mining. Its a campaign against all the things that let AFK mining safely exist and the recent changes to mining ships that made it explode. Its a campaign against the turning of Highsec into a safe playground where you can go from belt to belt and see nothing but herds of peacefully grazing Retrievers and Mackinaws.

Hey, maybe you'll get so good at counter-bumping that you will manage to stop the bumpers!

In the year 2012, after Torvins exotic post about the future, The Mittani himself started a new high sec group to work along side Miniluv. It was to help those newbies in need before they get sucked into the fold of AFK mining.

By your logic, the purpose of bumping physics is to bump.

Thanks again for playing. Here's your consolation prize:

A one-week all-expenses paid trip to the beautiful system of Rancer!

No, it isn't. The ice fields do not have a purpose as defined by CCP. As defined by miners, an ice field should be a place for herds of peacefully grazing retrievers and mackinaws. As defined by me, it should be a place full of the noise of strife and conflict, as should the rest of EVE. I assume Bing feels the same way, and that's why he takes issue with the cow-Mackinaws.

Mining needs risk, Krixtal. .

Where is the flaw in my logic? What is the purpose of bumping physics?

Hmm, what's screwed up about it. Some people just like mining. It's not about getting isk while doing something else, and using those isk to fund their PVP or whatever. They just like mining, and spreadsheets, and m3/sec calculations, and all that. They might be the same kind of guys who make model railroads, tie trout flies, or make duck decoys.

Why would any reasonably adjusted person with even a moderate level self-esteem want to collect tears from that kind of guy?
