In other words, the things you learn there are things you're supposed to USE, not put aside just because you're not being tested on them anymore. Besides that, you have no place expecting anyone to understand what you're even on about let alone have to read whole paragraphs without their eyes bleeding if you can't at least use some punctuation. How hard is it really to show where your sentences begin and end? Punctuation isn't just a sign of literacy, but of courtesy and respect for people reading your material. If you don't use it, you won't get a lick of respect from me. Perhaps if he had stuck around in the Bonus Round all the way to the educational component, his English would be better.
His english is fine. He obviously speaks it well enough, but even then, I don't mind bad spelling, as long as I can understand understand the point being made it makes no difference to me. Having sentences just run into each other as if the entire paragraph is spoken in the same breath however.... I'm old, Erotica1, **** like that causes lungs to collapse on me.  |

Your still on the bonus round, I have gotten past that and moved on with another Orca on the fire. And you teach me something now that my friend is funny. Lets put it this way, in the seventh grade i was doing college level work. I didn't think on a game that punctuation would make a difference to some but seeing how it does will make an attempt to pay closer attention. |

So you are a genius? Why didn't you continue with the bonus round then after giving so much? |

Dude.
If you want to reach people, you have to reach them in the game and have to put actual effort into it. More than writing a stupid post.
Furthermore are you simply wrong. If all miners suddenly stopped, it would not only take quite a while until stockpiles are used up, people would start creating mining alts. |

Like I've said before I seen no need for you to have the information from my other accounts. Given up so much, your sadly mistaken if you thought i kept everything on my account. There are corp hangar's for a reason. |

It's always "look at me!!" with you, isn't it.
For the record, I don't believe you that you were doing "college-level work" in the seventh grade, you've given me no reason to believe you, and frankly, I don't have to. However, if you want to go down that route....
I had an IQ of 147 when I was 11. It's gone down since then, to 127, which is a little sad, but in that time I've also learned that IQ isn't the last-word on intelligence, especially given how people like to focus their learning on specific subjects instead of broadening it too much. Given I was in the top 5% of Australian high school graduates, and the top 1% of the ICAS in 1999, a 127 right now isn't terrible. It is, in fact, considered above average.
Considering you can't even differentiate between 'your' and 'you're' that already makes me your intellectual superior by a considerable margin. So if you were doing "college-level" work (what does that even mean?) in seventh grade, then I was inventing Neutronium in first.
I would rather see someone who had their literary discourse criticised in such a way not get on the defensive, admit their fault, and attempt to rectify it. It would be more respectful then some half-arsed attempt to save face with a barely legible claim about intellectual superiority. And the fact that you somehow think your superior intellect excuses you from literacy ANYWHERE makes it even worse, because I guarantee you there isn't one single tertiary graduate with the intellectual level you claim to have that doesn't understand the importance of punctuation, even when abbreviating words in sentences for newspaper headlines or Twitter and the like. |

Okay once again i am not asking them to stop mining. I am simply asking them to raise the prices of the things they put on market for sell. There is a difference. |

Actually, punctuation is important else one would just write without realising that he is unable to form a proper line of thought if you even understand whaf that means but i doubt that because if you knew yoh would understand that wall of texts without any form of punctuation is not only really ****** to read but also displays an inability to properly analyse pretty much anything and also displays a low level of education but besides that it's mostly stupid assholes that believe that games are jusf games and that the only real human being is the one who he sees in the mirror which i believe is quite sad and mirroes some light form of aociopathy but i don't know anyway because i lack any ability to make a point anyway |

you're telling them to stop selling their products, which is about the same thing as not mining. |

LMAO really. For someone to claim to be so superior it seems as though you cant tell a game from RL. Talk about being defensive, I think I might have hit a nerve lol. And you said it your self ppl with a high IQ mainly focus on one thing, mine was history not on punctuation and the proper structure of a sentence. Honestly i can care less about that. If you read my post earlier i did admit to having bad punctuation and even said i would make a better attempt to correct it. Talk about over looking things. Paying attention must not have been your strong point seeing how you over looked my admission to my fault. |

I can tell the difference between a game and real life quite fine. However, clear and precise prose and communication in general is not medium-reliant. Like I said earlier, you have no place expecting people to understand what you're even on about if you can't say it in such a manner that makes it clear and concise.
Quote:...mine was history not on punctuation and the proper structure of a sentence.
Mine was science. Irrelevant. If you're going to write a paper, be it science or history, and expect to get it published or even considered for peer review, you're going to need punctuation and proper sentence structure. In fact, it doesn't matter what degree you go into at university, your first year always includes a unit on essay writing that covers the importance of literacy (in Australia, anyway). Usually, this unit is just a rehash of stuff you should have already learned in 10th-12th grades though.
Quote:Paying attention must not have been your strong point seeing how you over looked my admission to my fault.
I can pay attention just fine. First you have to give me something to pay attention to, but I wonder if you've noticed your own self-contradiction in admitting you have poor punctuation while claiming to have done college-level work in seventh grade. Because no self-respecting college or tertiary institution of any kind would want to burden you with such complex learning without first being sure you could handle, at least, basic language skills.
For the record, I never claim to be superior until you started trying to big-note yourself as something you simply are not. You tried to discard my criticism of your lack of punctuation by claiming to be intellectually superior enough that it doesn't matter to you. That is terrible logic, for one, and for another, doesn't do much to prove your intellectually honest enough to admit your faults. In which case, how can we be expected to take anything you say seriously? |

This has gotten off track of what this post was originally about, miners fighting back against the permits. If you wont to go a battle of wits im more then willing to go there on another day. Lets get back to the focus point thats at hand and its not a punctuation lesson. |

It's hard to understand what the point is when it's delivered with no punctuation...
That being said, your concerns have already been addressed. As so many miners like to point out, EVE is a sandbox in which you're allowed to do whatever you like with the tools you have. This, of course, needs to be clarified: if you cannot hold on to the tools you have, then your sandbox options become more limited. You also have to weigh up the risk vs the reward, and you try to utilise whatever expertise, tools and manpower you have to mitigate any risk taken as much as possible while trying to maximise that reward. That is EVE, in a nutshell, regardless of your activity, be it mining, missioning, faction warfare, and even ganking and miner bumping.
That means, if you encounter direct competition from other players, then you need to figure out how to maximise their risk and reduce their reward as much as possible in order to make you less worth competing with. Raising market prices won't do that, because the moment you raise ore and min prices, everything else those ore and mins produce goes up in price as well, which levels the field again, because my Catalyst might become (rough figure for posterity's sake) 10% more expensive, but so will your barge. You do the math: 10% of 10 mil (average Gankalyst) = 1 mil more expensive, 10% of 40 mil (average Retriever) = 4 mil more expensive. That does nothing to mitigate your risk or maximise your competitions'. |

You should all form a new-new order, and demand the new order people pay you for the privilege of flying in your space. You just need to then constantly go on and on about how the new-new order owns all of highsec, about how anyone in the new order that doesn't purchase your licence is breaking the rules if they attempt to bump, gank or otherwise attempt to get isk from players. All you need then are a few self-important ego-maniacs at the top of your structure to constantly bang on about how it's your right, and you're bringing order and stability and blah blah blah, and you've got yourself a nice little scam just like the new order. |
