Ummm...O.K.

Highsec miners will prevail - undocking 822 Macinaws in Osmon as we speak.

Holy crap! An internet victory!? Sound the band! People should be dancing in the streets!

A hollow victory. One that could have been won by doing nothing at all.

It's a little early to claim victory, don't you think?

And your post was far too short. Are you sure James 315 vetted that announcement for release?

Are you saying they could have won a glorious victory against AFKing by AFKing themselves? Not sure if srs.

a victory

In the name of the Savior of of Highsec James 315, the Code, and the New Order of Highsec, I hereby formally claim the coming changes to mining as a victory against the AFK.

Hodor.

reported for no-content post

and this thread needs more KM's, and less chest-puffing.

You say you're reporting someone else's post, then ask for KM's, which the forum rules state aren't allowed here? what?

guess what that 'whooshing' sound was?

How can you say that when AFK moon goo operations are being expanded so greatly with Odyssy?

At first, the james 315 stuff was pretty funny. But now, its gotten carried away. A bunch of RPer carebears ganking a buncha sad miners. I dont know which group is worse. At least the miners arent spewing their roleplay **** everywhere I guess.

Jon Snow dies.

*words about the New Order based on guesswork and hearsay*

And it's CCP's Victory. James, whatever the number is, had nothing to do with it.

Spoiler: So does everyone else.

Ah yes, the ol' "gankers ruin ganking" argument.

If CCP stated tomorrow "ALL mining Bots in EVE have been removed and we have made it impossible for people to use scripts to mine" you guys would NOT close up shop and stop what you are doing, you would state that it's impossible to not AFK mine because no one can look at at beams hitting an Asteroid for hours.

I don't mine, but I could easily dual screen at work and mine 8 hours a day straight while doing other work. I would not be AFK, and I would not be botting, but I would still annoy people like you, and you would still hunt me, because the hunting is what you want, not changes to the game.

As you are now claiming to be the victors against afk mining, does this mean you will now go into Null and Lo-sec and actually face people that can shoot back?

Or are you still planning on hiding under CONCORDs protection?

No excessive mining. Miners should not fall into a routine of mining all day. I want well-rounded people in my system, not ice-mining machines.

I bumped for the first time the other night. It was amusing for all of 30 minutes then I got bored with the lack of response from the afk miners. How do you do it?

I don't think that is simply what happened. "Suicide Ganking" was the one of the first un-intended Emergent Gameplay that appeared, up there with can flipping, and CCP realized that these were subjects that needed looking at.

For that matter your Alliance is blatantly stating that "Miners ruined Mining" and that you guys are the only way to fix it. CCP has finally decided that Mining has issues and it's now getting looked at.

A. Because moon goo isn't AFK, it's logged out. If you figure out a way to mine ice while logged out that CCP is ok with, then I am confident I can get you New Order approval for it.
B. There are a number of moon goo towers currently, call it X. The number of moon goo towers after Odyssey may well be less than X, in my opinion. Are you personally guaranteeing otherwise?

New Order Claims Victory Against AFK

In the name of the Savior of of Highsec James 315, the Code, and the New Order of Highsec, I hereby formally claim the coming changes to mining as a victory against the AFK.

Stop giving these morons attention and they'll go away.

This thread reminds me of politicians, who claim victory whenever something good comes about...

A: Logged out AFK is even more AFK then logged in AFK, duh

B: Patently wrong look at the mechanics you'll need more towers due to extra reaction added.

Face it If anything this expansion is reinforcing the AFK moon goo teat with 200 afkable resource rich new moons.

"Mission Accomplished"

I see you're "Mision Accomplished" andr aise you a "We are out of the reccession"

Nope.

Is this a normal type of response for you? If you say someone's asleep, and get a response: "He's not asleep man, he's dead", do you respond "Dead is even more asleep than asleep, duh " ?

The common definition of AFK is "logged in, but not sitting at the computer paying attention to it" I frankly don't believe that you log off for the night and tell your corpies "going afk".

It doesn't matter if he logged out or is logged in... He is not at his computer while making money, which is AFK money making like miners just on a larger scale.

Actually it does matter :)

When you're AFK, logged in and in space you can be blown up. When you're docked up, logged out, and AFK, you can't be blown up.

Do you see that as a meaningful difference, or not?

Yes I see a big difference. Moon Mining is a much worse form of AFKing then AFK Mining.

Ok, we agree there is a difference; glad we could resolve our disagreement and agree that I was correct.

I agree that there is a Difference but the difference is in the scale of the ability to AFK while making profit.
