I am going on strike! I want better pay for my minerals sell out.

Sadly this doesn't work in eve :(

You are either a troll or someone really bad in maths.

blah blah

tldr; i'm doing it wrong.

My signature.

Why do people mine? Seriously.

if you're mining you're doing it wrong.

actually...

13.363636 continuing is based on the decimal numbering system which is still going based on 100 minutes per hour.

Actually it's not. An hour doesn't magically change from 60 minutes to 100 minutes just because you toss a decimal in it.

13.5 hours is still 13 hours and 30 minutes.

So 13.36 repeating would just be 13 hours + (60 * .36363636...) minutes which is roughly 21 minutes 49 seconds.

90% of the items you buy are made by players. Now if they removed mining from the game how would you buy your ships and weapons ?

Socialist hippy type sees players making more isk with some risk of ganking mining roids. Same people who smokes dope and wonders why people get up early and go to work.

i have a dream

all miners would stop mining for a week,or stop selling ore

after a week prices would skyrocket so high,ppl would start asking why dont i mine

then you d hear the biggest collective laugh ever

Right, let's do he equivilant of stop selling fuel for a day in the real world.

All miners halt, for 3 days. Once the three days are over make a profit of 10x what you would usually make :) Then in pvp all that would win the fight would be who could build the ship faster :)

588*3
-------- = 13 hours and 37 minutes of mining a month. "13.363636 continued" for the curious minded folks.
(44*3)

I just want to point out that just because the answer is 13.363636 does not mean that it is 13 hours and some change. When you enter the above equation into a calculator, you will get that same answer everytime but it it not right because the unit of measurement needs to converted to a time format. I was wrong in using the terms "decimal numbering system" but my math is not incorrect.

100 minutes in an hour, that's just silly. If this is what you got from my previous post, then I can not help you and you need to have a long talk with your 5th grade math teacher.

The "13.36363636" is not in hours unit of measurement when you first get the answer from the above equation. It needs to be converted to hours before you can finish the rest. The 21 minutes and 49 seconds are correct for 0.36363636 if the 13.36363636 is in hours format.

13.363636 continuing is based on the decimal numbering system which is still going based on 100 minutes per hour.

I think this is the part of your original post that confused me - I read that to mean you were using some kind of funky 100 minutes per hour system - which, as you pointed out, is just silly. I'll admit, I didn't go back and read the original equation, which is what I should have done before trying to correct your math.

My apologies.

I don't even know why this got to 9 pages.

Why you then choose to play a multiplayer game centered on "a mouthy bunch of testosterone infused kids" blowing stuff up (which is the ONLY reason "mining" exists or makes any money) is hard to understand.

Why does everything have to be an absolute? Is nothing in your life an issue of enjoying something enough that you ignore the issues that come along with it?

because we like to spam GD with pointless ****, it's pretty much the reason for GD's existence.
