Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers:
"Carebear killed in blockade run", "Carebear slaughtered after toll"...
Damn Carebears. They're all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 2750's technobrain, ever take a look behind the watery eyes of the Carebear?
Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him into the cudly gun shy type of person he is?
I am a Carebear, enter my world...
I made a discovery today. I found a Mining Laser.
Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up.
Not because it doesn't like me...
Or feels threatened by me...
Or thinks I'm a smart ass...
Damn Carebears. All they ever do is mine.
Damn Carebears. Eating up the asteroid belts again. They're all alike.
This is our world now... the world of the Mining Laser and the Omber, the beauty of the boulder. We make use of a resource already existing without paying for what could be safe if it wasn't guarded by a bunch of suicidal Guristas, and you call us criminals!
We mine... and you call us criminals. We drill...and you call us criminals?
We exist without guns, without missiles, without
gate tolls... and you call us criminals. You build battleships, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals!?
I am a Carebear, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this Carebear, but you can't stop us all...
After all, we're all alike.

Good post Lelia. There are alot of us who aren't into the "kill everything that moves" manifesto.
Keep on mining!

It's based on an old text written by a hacker called the mentor, probably the most famous hacker text ever written.
Being a 'carebear' I re-writ it to make it more appropriate to my position in EVE.
Read the original if you dont understand.

Nice post!
I really like the original text. You did a nice conversion of it.

Phaia it can be found here:
Hacker's manifesto
I get goosebumps everytime I read it....
Sometimes to win, you have to fight just as mean and dirty as the other guy. Nobody will beat you challenging you to the field of honor for pistols at dawn. They have to slit your throat while you lay in bed, just like you'd do them. - Jash Illian |

Didn't mentor kill himself shortly after writing that? Are you foreshadowing something?
