Some of you probably know that I'm busy fighting the evil Goons and their minions (the CFC members). I've spent more than 300B in 2014 on this noble quest. For example I've been paying for the wardecs of The Marmite Collective in highsec against
all CFC members (that's about 30B/month wardec fees). I'm also financially supporting Mordus Angels who live in an NPC station deep in CFC space and kill lot of minions of Evil. I used to pay the wardecs of Darwins Lemmings, this project was closed due to not be able to outperform Marmite, but they still cost me about 50B and killed 300B+ CFC while they lasted. I'm having a 20B titan bounty in progress. I'm writing these so you won't doubt that this offer is real and not some weird scam attempt.
So, I've been collecting data about CFC activities and after looking at the
August ratting data and the
August CFC losses data, I've found that there is insane amount of ratting in Branch but relatively low PvP activity. Branch is the home of PBLRD (CFC renter) and FCON (CFC PvE alliance),
both have 30-35% ISK ratio against Battlement Coalition (of Mordus Angels and fellow NPC dwellers). So Branch is a perfect place for a coordinated strike against the CFC: there are lot of ratters there with practically no PvP-ers to defend them.
To facilitate the hunt in Branch, I hereby offer 20B every month, starting from September (including the kills already happened this month). The rules:
- The bounty is paid to corps, to the corp wallet.
- The bounty is automatic, you don't have to sign up or do anything but killing CFC in Branch. Many corps will be pretty surprised when they get ISK out of the blue.
- CFC members are obviously not eligible. Nor NPC corps.
- The kill must be on Zkillboard with API verification. (Hint: submit your corp API to Zkillboard.)
- Only loss reports over 150M count, as I need to be able to manually check them for T1 haulers full of goods with manipulated prices and other scam attempts. Such kills are obviously disqualified and listed for everyone to see.
- Only player ships matter, I won't motivate anyone to grind structures in bombless bombers.
- The kills are de-whored. If your corp scored 0.01% damage on a 100B titan, you get bounty after 10M kills, not 100B.
- Only bounties over 500M are paid, the long tail is cut off and their share is redistributed among the top killers.
At the beginning of each month, I process the killboard data and create a report and distribute the bounty of the previous month. As an example,
here is the imaginary August report (there was no project in August, so don't expect money for your August kills). On the example report you can see that 500M bounty could be earned by killing mere 1.7B CFC. If you think your corp is capable of killing more, it's time to deploy to Branch and participate in the noble contest. Are you a multiboxer? Create a corp, place a bunch of AFK-cloakers with covert cynos and catch ratters! By bringing death and destruction to the minions of Goons, you also contribute to a better nullsec, one without The Evil ruling it. By encouraging PBLRD ratters to change to NA/B0T and by driving FCON out of nullsec, a huge step will be made towards this Goon-free vision.
