People who fly skiffs generally pay attention, and fit a tank. That's enough to discourage most gankers, especially when there are many juicer targets who do neither. Why work harder than you have to?

Want miners to move from high sec to null sec?
Then give them a reason to join player corps, and stop null sec grav sites being worth less isk/hour than high sec asteroid belts.
Really isn't difficult. |

If I do another one, it likely won't be for a good while yet.
For one, I think after 5 editions it's gotten a tad stale, and on the other hand I no longer really have the vast amount of time it takes to run available to me for the forseeable future.
I still don't own a Hulk BPO, but I do accept donations (also, please tell me how to use BPOs, I have no idea)
And it has nothing to do with the exhumer changes (which I think were ace) as demonstrated by some enthusiastic corp mates of mine:

Nice work.
The cycle has already started to shift back to Empire belts being full of poorly or untanked Hulks again... and people are already starting to relax their fits in the other Exhumers due to complacency, negating much of the benefit they derived from those buffs (as predicted).
If you find the time in your schedule to organize it again I'm sure you will find many willing pilots eager to participate in the next Hulkageddon.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

The issue really is trusting someone with the Prizes.
Chribba is about the only one unanimously trusted, but I'm not sure if he's amenable to that sort of participation for this particular event.
Of course.....it could go Prize-less. For the lulz only. But then that's too 'everyday', so what would be the point ?

You could always be the face of the next one and help run it from the side lines. |

I thought it was just a small percentage, but obviously Shadow Cartel finds a lot of them and easily.

It is indeed true that most barges do not fit tanks. They never have, not even at the hight of our interdictions. |

hulkageddon died when they made it a quartely event figure of speech , reapeating it too often and with short intervals took all the excitement out of it
and the goons prgram last year that followed didn't helped much either
also the fact that you can't solo gank a tanked hulk anymore has something to do with it aswell, remember all the gankers shouting that shooting single hulks was justified since EVE usn't a solo game , very sarcastic

Naw... It's not hard to put together a gank ship still but that is part of it.
It's the composite of a bit more expense with tradable killrights. A ganker goes "lulz!" and nails a miner. They then get in another ship, undock and *pop* as they fly out of a station or enter a belt because they now have a bounty on their head. Repeat 3-4 times and the fun disappears pretty fast as the lossmails stack up.
If they do arrange it, you'll probably find as many bounty hunters out as gankers. That would be one hell of a fun hulkageddon to witness vs the old victims & victimizers shtick. |

It also had a problem with "expanding qualifiers" - first mining ships. Then mining and haulers. Then mining, haulers and salvagers. I was wondering when shuttles and free-flying pods were going to join the list. You know, any not-desgined-for-combat class flyers.
Also, I always wondered - who the hell came up with the idea that mining in lowsec was a safe way to go?
The original intent of "hulkageddon" was to try and discourage afk mining and, to the best of my knowledge, any of the final list of ships for a hulkageddon would be pretty much dead anyway in lowsec - let alone "AFK mining". So as they expanded the list and included *ALL* space, it got pretty far from it's roots.
The entire thing was a fubar mess by the time it died but at least it was a fairly quiet death. |

Dilution isn't always the solution. When you broaden your focus, the 'exclusivity' and hence the challenge start to slip away. No challenge, no fun, no hulkageddon.
Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Add to that the announcement of making Hulkageddon permanent and it becomes pretty clear why most people lost interest in it.
Sometimes I wonder why Mittens even did this- I always thought he was a smart guy, so he should have known that it would kill the event rather than prolong it.

There was just some really strange stuff going on during that time period, even for EVE.
