Epitaph: "No. You can't have my stuff."

For those of you with similar sentiments and who are attending FanFest 2013, perhaps you could protest at the event by wearing a sandwich board with the word "WANTED" displayed prominently on it. If I were there, it's what I'd do.

Epitaph: "No. You can't have my stuff."

You seem upset because you've only got a 100k bounty, yet get a wanted sign for such a small number.

I have, courtesy of my alt Corestwo, remedied that. Your WANTED tag is now worthy of the bounty on your head. You're welcome. If you intend to quit anyway, that's fine - I'll get my money back.

Not delivering on the plan to bio-mass tunes would leave me with some serious splaining to do and would be detrimental to my credibility...

There is only one thing worse than being WANTED

And that's not being wanted.

What a very useful thread....

*Adds a bunch of names to the no-vote list for making fun of how someone wants to play Eve their way.

Update 2013.02.23
Per the CSM Minutes from December 2012, the only way that CCP will change bounty hunting is by players leaving the game. So, off I go with my alts and second account with me. May I have an "AMEN" to that Alekseyev Karrde?

How does having a bounty stop this person from playing the game their way? Or you dumb or just trolling?

"Playing eve their way" does not mean that they are immune to others playing eve their way.

...as a high security status player, with a Concord sanctioned "WANTED" notice on your profile...

I'm not angry about bounties -just angry about flying around space with a Concord sanctioned "WANTED" label.

It is quite clear from the content of WheatGrass's posts that he is concerned with the immersion or rp-value of having a "high security status" pilot--thus a 'good guy'--with a "WANTED" status placed on him by a law enforcement agency.
It has nothing to do with being shot at (that he has said.)
It has nothing to do with being insulated from other players(that he has said.)
It has everything to do with how he likes to play Eve(and likely any other MMO)--with a focus on setting, lore, and/or roleplaying.
And instead of calmly stating that CCP has already said they aren't going to worry about making some kind of distinction between a criminal bounty and what one might interpret as a "hit" placed on a 'good guy's' head, several people disrespected the player for his preference. Not even an acknowledgement that his style is in the minority and that he's going to have to adjust, and not to throw such a tizzy about it.

If one cannot deal with a player and his preferences in the game professionally and with respect--as minority or different from one's own as they may be--then that CSM candidate doesn't make my list of STVs.

The bounty system in no way helps people who need others to defend them. Therefore it is broken

Judging from the insane amounts of isk thrown into the bounty system, it does seem that many people do indeed place their hope, trust, and the whole basis of their in-game defense in being able to put money on someone's head. It's a hilarious state of affairs that's ripe for tear collection.

If a criminal placed a public advertisement requesting that I be murdered and offered money for the accomplishment of that task, then I suspect that, at least a small number of people would be concerned -including local law enforcement types. Such behavior would not be acceptable in a civilized nation, state, or federation. So, I reject the bounty system as it is currently implemented.

I'm still here. -Just feeding the skill queue to make the bio-massing more glorious.

I'm not into the role-playing scene -just playing Eve the way I want and usually minding my own business. My understanding of the bounty system is adequate. No explanations as to why there's a "WANTED" sign on this toon are required.

For those who have placed bounties upon me and those possibly considering it... I'm a bit disturbed that you'd tie up your hard-earned ISK on my account. I hope you do get your ISK back when this toon is bio-massed -if that's the way things work. You've created a distracting sense of obligation and duty within me. I'd rather you saved yourself the trouble though. Unfortunately, I'm not ambitious enough to arrange for some sort of interest-bearing bounty reward for you. You are entitled to place bounties. I'm in agreement with that and will not retaliate. My retaliation is towards CCP.
I would find it difficult to believe to learn that CCP employees have never heard of the saying, let sleeping dogs lie or don't stir up the hornets nest or other pertinent parables -especially Don't bite the hand that feeds you. CCP has violated all of these ideals with the current implementation of the bounty system.

What day, exactly, is the Party at the Top of the World? I'd hate to miss my own appointment.

I'll try to place my CSM vote one last time before the end.

Thank you and fly safe.

--the option to be immune from actions of other players is not and should not be part of EVE. And, frankly, if you don't like that, I don't think I want to make your ballot, thank you very much.

Cool, in addition to biomassing your character you're also making a complete fool out of yourself :D

So when the time comes are you going to actually delete your character or are you going to be another Krixtal Icefluxor, hanging around, whining about things in highsec and threatening to quit, but never actually doing so?

But best of all, "civilised nation"? That is the most hilarious description of EVE I have ever read.

If you are as insulted as I am by flying around space, as a high security status player, with a Concord sanctioned "WANTED" notice on your profile, then feel...
