By paying the wardec and management costs of a new alliance Darwins Lemmings and the wardec costs of the highsec PvP alliance Marmite Collective. These people want to PvP, they want to hit Goons and pets (as they are numerous and dumb), but they can't afford the costs, at least not constantly.

We all have an opinion and far be it for me to stop people being allowed to voice that opinion. But you really need to understand that the Tooth Fairy isn't real or the untouchable cannot be touched as you null pubbies believe yourself to be.

I watched Goons fall apart the last time and the writing was on the wall then with the same rhetoric being spouted. Observing what is happening now seems to be the same path of old. But that's just my opinion of course

All I have to say further is that everything starts small and one day who knows, but it has got your guys attention. Oh! and by the way I have no hate for Goons or any other entity for that matter. It's all a game don't you know.

Newflash : Goons use it as an insult.

Wait, why is he crying?

Erotica 1's prediction came true - sort of. Based on his last blog entry, people are apparently donating billions to him. There is even a list.

I'll remind our readers that putting bounties on RvB members is very effective.

Damn, why didn't I think of this? It's basically an ISK doubling scam. Give token amounts of ISK to a holding corp which "hurts" Goons.

Display green killboard as proof of success.

Collect donations for the cause greatly in excess of my own personal investments and never pay for another ship or PLEX out of my own pocket again.


Why didn't I think of this sooner!?

yes Marmite might wardec Joe Jim and Jack who mine in a corp and dream of one day affording an Orca. But they are unlikely be able to donate anyway.

You know a lot of the 420 Lemmings just are in it for the fun of killing Goonies and Pets . Good news, you will be seeing Lemmings in a system near you soon :). As we reached 400, its time for the next step. VFK, second on the right ?

Why is it so hard for people to understand that we freely entered into a mutually beneficial agreement with goons? I mean sure we didn't foresee that an irrational being would spend 40 billion a month trying and failing to take those POCOs and under normal circumstances we'd have gotten bored of this conflict a while ago, but since Gevlon lacks any hint of knowledge about how to interact socially with others and has been insulting RvB in every other blog post, he's managed to make sure that we stayed in.

'Why is it so hard for people to understand that we freely entered into a mutually beneficial agreement with goons?'
Since you are goon pets it does does surprise anyone in the least that you have 'entered' into this agreement. I would have been surprised if you hadn't as that would have put you in direct conflict with your masters wouldn't it?

As for having to spend 40bn to try and take some pocos in highsec i would say that the mechanic for the pocos in highsec is pretty much broken. So good going Mr Goblin for empowering highsec to fight back against the goons dispite this poorly thought out mechanic and shame on you RvB members for being used so.

Paying out 40 billion is a bad business investment however standing against the goons is not just about the isk is it. I would have thought the joint RvB/goon wormhole expeditionary force would have know that.

while Goons are drunk

anyone else here thinks Goblin might actually be a genius for possibly creating one of the biggest scams in EVE?

Nope, unfortunately hes serious. He is however creating content and for that he should be applauded.
Never a dull moment for his loyal blog followers! Oh and grats Lucas Kell. He unblocked you? *rushes out to get more popcorn*

I'll make a bold prediction, before the month is up Gevlon will stop funding marmite, cancel his noir contract but still claim victory.

nah, Gevlon the entity was known and public prior to even joining EVE.

Ultimately he has a luxury few other people have (and one which is often not really afforded even to the Mittani), which is literally to try every possible strategy rather than showing any particular strategic selection process in avoiding sub optimal and very expensive strategies. (ie the most effective strategy is to reroute poco customers to pcoos that are unlikely to be taken by goons or rvb any time soon), but instead we see him simply choosing to rent another expensive gold plated hammer.

I'm sure he is enjoying EVE far more, because being able to trade up large amounts of resources and then _use_ them for something is very different to most games especially WoW.

I heard a rumour that Gevlon Goblin got scammed out of an alliance, any truth to that? Now's it's a ~high sec~ mercenary alliance with an anti-goon bias.

All the goon pocos were acquired by rvb. As of last night we own over 400 of the things. All the extra income will go to our expanding ship replacement programs and our FC loyalty point store (which is quite neat and very popular with our FCs)

gevlon did get his wish in that there are no more goon pocos. Now let's see if he calls it a day and rests on his laurels or tries to hit the goons where they actually live and go after assets they really care about. Personally i hope he does, for the entertainment value.
