Originally by: DOUGWINGER If you have a fully insured BS and gank a mining barge you will usually get more than you would for selling it, I made like 50mil off the one I killed.
Interesting. Where's the risk?
Let me explain. Apparently, if there's reward, we need risk. So, for example, if a fairly new player is moving their possessions around in secure space in an industrial, it's only right they have the risk of being totally and unavoidably obliterated if they go through a gate at the wrong time. Because, after all, they have that potential reward of getting their stuff from A to B!
So if moving stuff around carries a risk of being completely, inescapably, annhiliated, then for something that can give 50 million ISK rewards, we presumably need a much heftier risk.
I see the cost. You get blown up. But that's not a risk, you know that's going to happen. That's already taken into account. I suppose the mining barge might escape, leaving you with nothing. Or they might even have persuaded friends to sit around doing nothing for protection. But since you're the one starting the fight, that's pretty much in your control - if barge A is ready to run, or guarded, move on to barge B. So not really that much risk there either.
So, for moving possessions from A to B in an industrial, we have a risk of being unavoidably obliterated.
For ganking a mining barge and making 50 million ISK, we have the risk of... um... er... dang.

lol funny thread, after readin through it all, miz does sound like a tard, but makes the game that bit more interestin so keep it up if you can afford it and the true miz equation is
miz = ( + ) x = + /  - - - - - - - - - - -

But that's not a risk either. You know that happens. You might as well say that the downside of mining is that you can only do it for so long before your hold gets full. Different scale, same principle.

I don't see the point of bragging that you have killed in Oursulaert. since most players there are in erly stages and the best ships they have are velators and tristans. So CONCORD are not responsible you are you killed 33 innocent starting players which had no quarell with you.
do what you want to CONCORD they have never helped me so why is the best way to get at them to destroy people they don't care about anyway!

Originally by: Miz Cenuij Tonight I flew into this central hub trading system along with my slave boy. I arrived with 8 geddons, an indy full of large smartbombs and the firm intention of sending Concord and the empire scum they protect straight to hell. Over the next 1.5 hours over 33 pilots lost thier ships and/or pods in this "safe" 0.9 Concord ridden system. These sensless deaths could have been avoided if Concord had submited to my demands for the gates of empire to be opened to the criminal element of the Eve universe. However despite thier failed attempts to cease these attacks on thier flock of carebears, they refused to submit to my demands, as such THEY are responsible for these deaths. Unless a representitive from the filth that is Concord contacts me to discuss terms for thier surrender I will continue to return to secure systems and murder thier lowlife inbred inhabitants.

Ok, let's see, the bounty system is supposed to take care of this.
You gets a low security rating, and a big bounty.
Except, the bountyee gets to collect his own bounty making a fool out of the Bountyer.
Reason being, bountyer gets a fine new clone, although costly, still maybe worth the difference.
Well, make the bountier pay double the difference for the new clone, so's he not only makes no money off the bounty, but pays up, or runs around skill vulnerable till he does.
They was a really long thread about fixing bounties many moons ago where this and all the other good ideas already got ignored.
Anywho, fars as I know, Miz is doing a grand job building up the Armageddon market, so's me hat's off to him.

I hate pirates. Don't take that the wrong way, though. Its part of the PVP element of the game. Really, this wouldn't be half as much "fun" without them.
Miz you're either insane, very rich or (probably) both. These aren't bad traits, per se. They certainly did liven up Ours for the minutes that all this carnage went down. I'm not sure if I respect you any more than the rest of the pirates, but I'm now very scared of you. 
To everyone who says that he made newbies quit. So? If they can't handle losing a Frigate, there's no way they'd be able to handle losing a BS. Honestly, you lose a ship, you suck it up and buy another. You get podded, you suck it up and buy new implants. Such is life in Eve. Anyone who isn't willing to accept that should stop playing now. Go try a non-PVP game.

Where as PVP does play abig part in Eve its not the only thing that makes this game, thats why it is so good.
Even one of the dev's i believe said thats why they have secure and unsecure space, if you want to stay out of pvp in eve it should be possible as it should be upto you how you play this game.
Also if you had been playing this game like 2 days and u get podded in your very first frig, in what you thought was secure space i think you might think twice about carrying on playing this game

Shut up, carebear :P
what a delightful adition to the discussion
i was simply stating that the way to get at CONCORD is not through the people they don't care for i.e everyone in the game whos not controlled by a computer
i myself don't care for CONCORD they have not helped me anytime ive been in trouble so by all means hassle CONCORD ships. just don't go to the trouble of masacering 33 innocents to try and get them to open the gates to pirates.

Miz is just showing that CONCORD, and other higher-level NPCs should pod people they're aggressive to.
The current setup is like this:
Concord: Ok we blew up his ship, we won't touch his pod though.
*miz gets into another ship*
Concord: SHIP! FIRE! KILL!!!
If you've got a low enough sec status, CONCORD and the governemtn ships should opne fire on you, ship or pod. Same goes for pirates who REALLY hate you (and are higher level).
I noticed no players go after Miz when he does this stuff. WHY? He's -9.9 sec, so concord wouldn't attack someone for podding him (i think), and even if they did, the 30+ mil bounty would be worth it for a new player. I logged in last night, ready to go take that chance, and he was leaving when I got there (I missed all the 'fun' ). Still, surely it wouldn't be hard for a player with a couple months of time to pin him down and nuke his pod straight to hell, would it?

I dont get this part, if he is -9.9. How did he get into Jita with an Arma and terrorises the place without being shot down by Concord the moment he enters the system?

Perhaps I have misunderstood something. I thought he would be able to fly an arma into Jita in the first place, nevertheless, killing so many peeps on Jita once he entered it? I am confused ;s
Sorry.

Well i think he got his alt to take the ships out to a SS and eject, he comes in, in his pod and goes to the safe, his alt then scouts out a suitable defenceless person, he gets in ships warps straight to alt and bang.
Or thats how i think he did it if anyone would like to correct me please do

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds logical though except for one thing. Wouldnt the moment when he enters the ship from his pod, Concord will just spawn immediately and nuked him to a pod?

From the first page of this thread:
Originally by: Miz Cenuij ...I warped in in my pod, boarded the ship and fired up the smartbombs. The concord scum then warped in and started to light my ship up. Sometimes I even managed two activations of the bombs thanks to the shield extenders in my med slots.

Thanks I did miss something but also got confused about the part here...
"... boarded the ship and fired up the smartbombs."
Concord will nuke him when he fires up his bombs, however, when he enters his ship from a pod, he is still free to make himself a living missile by warping to his alt and active his bombs.
My confusion is, shouldnt he be nuked *as he enters* his ship from pod? Thanks for making it clear for me. A bit slow here, sorry. LOL.
