Hi All,
This time last year, James 315 published on his MinerBumping Blog a short story based on 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. He translated the location to Highsec and adjusted the characters accordingly. The result was a hilarious romp which however made a serious point about the motivation and behaviour of a certain easily recognisable EVE-type.
"James 315's razor-sharp caricature of a greedy Highsec mining CEO - and his ultimate redemption. James joins forces with Charles Dickens to bring to New Eden a sparkling seasonal work, full of in-jokes and other mischief, for all EVE players, their friends and families." ..from Audiofile description on SoundCloud.
I decided to record this piece because I'd so enjoyed reading the text version. I hope you enjoy listening to it!
Here's the file and introduction by James 315, linked on themittani.com: A Highsec Christmas Carol
...and the MinerBumping site: A Highsec Christmas Carol
SoundCloud: A Highsec Christmas Carol
Is it too early to wish the C&P folks a Merry Christmas? Probably.

This is destined to become a true Christmas classic to be enjoyed each holiday season to come.
Sasha, thank you kindly for my first gift of the season!
Sabriz Adoudel for CSM 10 is a good idea.

This deserves a hardback cover with colorful illustrations, a nice warm cup of cider by the fire, and the family gathered 'round.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I liked this. Although.. Miner corps have tax? I understand buy back programs, but the ratting profit is negligible in highsec belts. |

I assume it's a 'tax' different to the one imposed by the corp interface. Like "Pay 30m ISK per week as an Orca fee".

Putting that (crap) on mittani and mb.com is more than enough.
Posting it here too makes it --> SPAM!

Obviously i do not have the reference. However i do have some humor, it just might not cope with yours.
As for the audiofile, there was another gif that i found on minerbumping comments: (found them both there)
Wasted effort, leave this forums alone and leave this stuff at minerbumping

The reason you do not get the reference is that you obviously didn't bother to actually listen to it before crapping all over it. There is a pretty significant difference between experiencing something and deciding you dislike it based on it's merits or lack thereof and simply declaring something bad because you happen to dislike the source.

Reading any text coming from Ghostwriter "Jimmy" is a pain for it self. Since i am a fast reader, that doesn't take much time. But "listening"? That is just more nauseating and disgusting.

Following minerbumping for some time now, gives me a quite good idea, what ghostwriter jimmy put down and some poor lacky reads loud (because his master petting his little ego). The stuff this "source" ever let out was always awful, tasteless, full of disgusting and stupid propaganda, but never anything close to be good or realy worth reading. No chance in hell, this time this would be any better.
As i said, let this crap on MB where it belongs. If you come here, you will get non-code oppionions, telling you that this stuff is SPAM and CRAP.

*raises hand* Not CODE. Not on minerbumping. Not a shareholder or really even a supporter, aside from the belief that they are no less entitled to play the game the way they want as those who oppose them.
So if they did what you wanted I wouldn't have gotten to hear this.
Honestly, when I first encountered them they kinda annoyed me. I got over it. I don't do much along the lines of PVE in high sec anymore, so I don't have a horse in this race.
My opinion of this audio is based purely on what I consider to be it's merits, yours appears to have nothing to do with it so much as an irrational dislike for the source. |

You believe? code has proven more than one time, that they are not playing EvE, they try to play the other players with EvE as a tool. So no, i do not think that they are entitled to abuse EvE to pi-ss other people of. Since they try to pi-ss other people off, there is no surprise that they are disliked.

Broaden you sources, it was spamed on more than one page. Spamming it here to because you would have missed it, is no reason.

Naming Spam spam is not irrational. It appears, that i am better informed about "them" then you are. Playing the game in a way that they are being disliked does not make me irrational. You seem to have a very blind eye on codies.
Omar Alharazaad wrote: Not CODE
Maybe not this alt, maybe some other excuse, however. You might not be code, you might be some codie that denies to be one on the account of beeing an independent oppinion. No way to know. Not that i care.
