Another one got caught today, it's all over the forums.
"Noob caught mining ark in alliance space"...
Damn noobs. They're all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece Megathron and 23050's Tempest, ever take a look behind the eyes of the Miner? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?
I am a Miner, enter my world...
Mine is a world that begins with cans. I'm smarter than most of the other Miners, I put my ore into a secure can...
Damn ore thieves. They're all alike.
I'm in the State Academy. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to avoid a ganking. I understand it. "No, Ms. Myomito, I didn't put on my warp core stabilizers."
Damn gankers. Probably bored. They're all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found an Asteroid.
Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it depletes, it's because I mined it too fast...not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a pirate.
Damn pirates. All they do is gank people. They're all alike.
And then it happened. A gate opened to a 1.0 system full of belts!
"This is it... this is where I belong." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all.
Damn Alt. Camping the belt with his indy. They're all alike.
You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed Scordite when we hungered for Spodumain... the bits of ore that you did let slip through were too few and unrefineable. We've been dominated by pirates, and plagued by ore theives!
But this is our world now... the world of the Veldspar and the Trit, the beauty of the Barge. We make use of an ore already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by a bunch of profiteering megacorps, and you call us criminals. We mine your fuel... and you call us criminals. We build your ships... and you call us criminals.
We exist without railgun, without launcher, without smartbomb... and you call us criminal. You build battleships, you wage wars, you gank, pwn, and lie to us and try to make us believe Trit is worth 1 isk! Yet we're the criminals?
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of being different. My crime is that of judging people by how much they can mine per hour, not what they can gank. My crime is that of out-hauling you, something that you will never forgive me for.
I am a Miner, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all...
After all, Refinery Efficiency Lv5 doesn't train overnight.
