Jamm3d	Posted - 2003.11.23 23:41:00 - [31] I am very new to this game. On my first day i got chatting to a guy on local who said he wanted to give advice to newbs. I opened a conversation with him costing me a whole 100isk which took me a couple of minutes mining(which i was beggining to hate already). He told me he knew a really good way to make quick isk so i started to listen, he told me that if i bought a shuttle of him for 15 000 isks and went into a system kalled HGDGP ir something like that i could make quick cash mining. I mined for a while to get the money for one of the sexy gallente shuttles and when i got it i set my waypoints. After a long trip (about 18 Jump gates) i came into the system. The guy i had been talking too told me to go to the gate to stain and shout out " i love SA". being so naive on my first day i thought that this was some cool cheat or something, when i arrived at the gate there were some kool looking ships i thought might be there to hewlp me mine, but when they locked me i got very scared. i tried to warp away but they had used a special gun or something to stop me. After 1 shot i found myself in my escape pod, and within an other shot i was back in 01.0 space, missing a few hundred skill points and my sexy ship. I still dont understand why these people were so evil, i have nothing they want as they were in like titans or something. I am still working away to get another ship and lasers to mine. Any money would really help cos my ibis is starting to get old. I would quite like a couple of million isks, but im sure 1 or two would be good enough.
Hellena	Posted - 2003.11.24 00:32:00 - [32] i need insureance money for my brand new apocolypse so i can go in to 0.0 systems, and i am forming a corp so ill need start up isk for offices and factory/ research slots, since building my ship bankrupted me. 433 isk to my name after my ship came off the lines. spectacular.

LUC1FER	Posted - 2003.11.24 00:35:00 - [33] i had my brand new megathron for a whole 2 days and i feel so guilty because the corp guys helped me mine for it for about a week ............................................... I am not asking for blood, i can take your blood. I am asking for souls, which i can make as painful as you wish.

Skillz	Posted - 2003.11.24 02:57:00 - [35] I bought your Apocalypse and modules for a hundred million. You could give a fellow Amarran a discount to increase his resources he needs to kill the infidels Keep on flaming, lamers.
cypriss	Posted - 2003.11.24 05:11:00 - [36] have you ever right clicked your ship, scrolled down towards 'open cargo' and some how self destructed your MOA with 3 miner 2's on it? i don't need 25mil....10 mil would be nice and give someone else the other 15mil...k thx
Kunming	Posted - 2003.11.24 07:01:00 - [37] I founded a corp with my effords but most of the members left cause some other uber corp promised them BSs. And then I tried to mine and haul on my self but my bessy got stuck on a roid while warping and NPC came in and killed me with a 3 hours efford on mining. Then I didnt gave up and worked my way up to a cruiser I bought the cheapest, the Arbitrator, but the first time I go NPC hunting with that thing a PK comes and kills me (this was 4-5 days ago). Now I'm sitting broke with no inssurance or clone and trapped in a system that has a serious PK problem. That 25mil ISK could really help me a lot Intercepting since BETA

Reptar	Posted - 2003.11.24 11:31:00 - [42] Edited by: Reptar on 24/11/2003 11:33:58 A few days ago i purchased my new blackbird, regretablly i had a -3.6 security status, i was on my way to purchase weapons for her and had all my tech in the hold. Unfortunately i did not check my autopilot sufficiently and ran across a part of 0.8 territory. Upon arriving i was shot up by Gallente Police and Concord in my brand new shiny, unrigged, uninsured Blackbird, with all my sexy rare tech. Well im poor again and its time to beg to corp members... but thats life Until such a time where my poor poor self can afford to replace my gem i am to ride lonely in my pod with no hunting, nothing.

Mrissa Easeah	Posted - 2003.11.24 19:40:00 - [44] Well, 25 million is -would- go a long way toward keeping Spooky fed. I've never -seen- a rat put away so much food, and all the time! I really should put him on something healthier than the galley's leftovers, but Sukuuvesta Rat Chow; Science Diet's pretty spendy.
Nostradamu5	Posted - 2003.11.24 19:52:00 - [45] What's 25 mil in this game? You've been gone for awhile, have you've seen Meg & Zyd prices, try building a BS when your puny corp is filled with slackers and quiters. Hell the best thing that happened to me was being podded at JIP. Now if you have a BS original copy or two, that's different. Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug! Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2003.11.24 20:03:00 - [46] Edited by: Rod Blaine on 24/11/2003 20:04:39 Most honourable Grand Master Potentiate, Upon hearing of your enterprise to find the most worthy of causes to support I once again looked upon my predicament in despair. How would an Amarr national ever be swayed to support a gallente goal ? But an attempt never made is an insult to the will of man. And so I now stand before you with my plea. Since counts of years, I have been master to a number of students of the essence of annoyment. For years we have together strived to uncover this godly emotion, and we have made great progress in our field of study ! You might have heard about our discovery of the lifeform called kermit ? A student of mine found traces of this mythical creature in works brought from the old earth. It is said to be a creature that had the ablity to hold masses in its sway through sheer irritation. Sadly enough, we never were able to locate any fo these lifeforms in the galaxy we call Eve. Besides this we have made many more discoveries that have changed the way of life in all empires that make up Eve. We have discovered the strange effect that reversing an MWD when in full flight has on one's facial features, leading to more insights into annoyance. Also, we discovered that disbarking your vessel in the midst of a jump does not bring you into Jove space. A totally new way of enjoying something annoying ! We have also made some more modest discoveries, like the true receipe of milk. This turned out to be especially annoying, although im honourbound not to reveal why that is exactly. But in recent times, my students have not shown any advancement anymore. And I must say that my own visions have been lacking as well. This is the awfull effect of the protein delicacies, fed to us by the Caldari. My students have lost all imagination, and I have lost all hope of ever uncloaking the complete essence of what is annoing. So will you not help us, o aptly named one ! A small stipend of isk would make treatment of my students'deficiencies possible, and might pave the way to the fullfillment of our destiny. we would also be able to complete our most grand project into discovering the true nature of annoyance: the 'petition' I beg of you to help me and my fellowly annoyed, to aid us in our precdicament and to show us your understanding of our common destiny: To be the embodyment of annoyance ! (Adding to that will be the surpreme annoyance of those that do not receive your isk, futhering our goal even more ) I looko forward to hearing you insights. With supreme annoyance regarding my non-native amarr langguage skills I remain, Rod Blaine _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know.

Khar'du	Posted - 2003.11.24 20:34:00 - [47] Edited by: Khar'du on 24/11/2003 20:37:09 Edited by: Khar'du on 24/11/2003 20:36:18 Edited by: Khar'du on 24/11/2003 20:35:02 Quote: But an attempt never made is an insult to the will of man. And so I now stand before you with my plea. ... Rod Blaine Who is this Gallente character anyway, presuming himself to be without a chance of 'swaying' (ooooh, smooozy) this Amarr lowlife ? What about a Minmatar asking for the dough ? Might I have got any chance ? I think not, although i can promise you that a great deal of Ammar find me supremely annoying ! No, my story will not sway a this grand poobah ! But I'll tell it nevertheless ! As this Gallente woozysmoozy flikedyflak-smickedysmack pedofiliac, the one protein delicate delegate has been quoted to say: "..an attempt never made is an insult to the will of man.. " Well, gotta give the rat his due, it's a nice phrase. Although he probably stole it... I call this: The story of the left hand of god In my most ancient memory, i found myself drowning in a pool of slimy muck that people call embryonic fluids. Yes, you read me right, I remember my moment of birth. The whole friggin lot of it. That's why i shot my mom at 2 years of age...Blasted a hole in her face with my megabeams after frying her brain with my medium smartbombs. Now don't be shocked ! This is a perfectly natural thing ! How can one not detest the person that put one into this hellhole of a galaxy. Born into slavery I was brought up to hate all that reduce my chances of survival. And i have decided that the whole of this forsaken universe stands in my way ! Now enough of this storytelling. I hate stories anyway. I say kill all the damn storytellers first. So if you would be kind enough to present me with this gift of yours I will promise to make every single living thing that comes into my grasp pay for the insolence of being alive ! Now won't they find that annoying ? I bloody bet they will ! ...And the millions will fall before me in an endless sea of blood. Despair will rain down on the living and the dead alike, for I am the embodyment of despair. Call me God if you like, but fear me nevertheless for I will destroy with one hand the life that I hast created with the other... You may see me as the one hand, and the other hand just came off
Fedmahn Kassad	Posted - 2003.11.24 21:12:00 - [48] Edited by: Fedmahn Kassad on 24/11/2003 21:15:05 Crappy semi-literate craphole artists ! A Gallente and a Minmatar contestant for the prize ! Ha, make me laugh some more, left handed slave child, delicate professor of sucking-up-to-the-big-bad-amarr ! Worthless ! Nah annoing, better spend that isk on me. I can promise you to do something constructive with it instead. Why spend it on repairs of stupidity or on the willfull destruction of production resources and worthwhile investments ? If any race is worth your royal isk, it's the Caldari ! I'll tell you my grand scheme, in which you might be able to buy a stake with your leftover cash The Caldari Profit Plan By the way, i hope you have some security on this channel, since my profit plan would be of incredible worth to some of my desperate cmpetitors. But I guess I'll have to trust you if I want your investment to happen Well,the scheme. It goes like this: As soon as mobile referies aremade availiable by our Caldari researchers, I will be one of the first to receive a Blueprint of one. I have already arranged this through one of my many corporate contacts These are imperative to be availiable as they are needed for my Quafe receipe and will enable us to secretly produce the basic ingredient, of which I will tell you later Since this will only give us a short lead over our competitors, I have thought of a way of using these stations that no-one has thought of before. I will tell you how I came to this insight. Some time ago, i was employed as a investment advisor to the corporation that is behind the front that is know as Sukuuvesta Corp. One of my most reknowned accomplishments was the organisation of Caldari government backing of the protein delicacy production and distribution. We then admitted a Quafe corporate spy into our midst, knowing he would find out the true origin of this product, Since quafe is a known caompetitor in many of our fields markets, this was sufficient to be sure to know that the Gallente would find out. Now in the mean time, I struck a deal with some Amarr nobles, who agred to supply me with the base ingredient of the product which launch was intended to be our main effort, to be masked by the outrage regarding the protein thingy. Now it comes: I have come into possesion of a formula that allows the biomass of elderly slaves to be processed and integrated into the production of quafe ! This new process will e cut costs for the Quafe Co. in half, enormously enlarging profit margins. I have arranged for the ingredients, and have planted the new process at Quafe Co. They will shortly release the news that will make their shares skyrocket. what i offer you os a participation in my share pool of Quafe shares, of which i have secretly bought almost 20% through shell companies and third person trusts. Your 25 million isk will then either quadruple in worth, or, the choice is yours, be used in the next step of my plan. This step entails the release (after selling the share on an alltime high of course) of the true Quafe process to the Gallente and Minmatar press. Since i can implicate a large number of Gallenteans and Minmatar, this will undoubtelty lead to civil war in both states Our profit, well invested in key defense industry funds, will again multiply in worth ! With your (anonymous) backing I will become the richest man in this galaxy, able to have laws passed and treaties made that will provide you with endless hordes of willing followers to guide into the arms of annoyance ! If you want the full details of my calculations and projections just send an eve-mail. My working name is Rod Blaine. (also, if you want to send that wrathfull Khar'du character a message, use the same adress ) I never miss a chance at isk

(sorry, couldn't resist the pun, as you have already seen in my three earlier entries) I want to make clear that all three posts by Rod Blaine, Khar'du and Fedmahn Kassad are in fact made by one and the same person. I hereby relinguish my anonymity for the sake of some isk So, dont give them all some isk, but please feel free to reward the team effort Regards, Rod Blaine EDIT: oh and none of my chars owns more then a million isk btw, so im quite poor as well.

IZON	Posted - 2003.11.24 22:19:00 - [51] Shameless lies, all lies! cough cough take pity on ME! annoing. "...master! there's a guy in the south village called IZON, he is a Ninja!"
Rizmordan Hillgotlieb	Posted - 2003.11.24 23:28:00 - [52] Why not make the treasure hunt into a scavenger hunt/race. Like make a list of items you have to obtain (through whatever means necessary). They could be minerals, trade goods, mods, whatever. Then the first to turn all this stuff into you or a qualified representative will be given clues and/or riddles that tells him/her of the location of the next clue. You go there and then there is a secure container w/ the name set as the next clue/riddle for the next location and so forth. Then the last clue/riddle has the password for the secure container w/ the isk inside. It would really test the determination and creative juices of those individuals who would really want that 50mil isk. Thanks Posting for Numbnutz
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2003.11.24 23:37:00 - [53] I'd camp the sec container with the isk and just let a corpmate do the hints. Eventually he should show up, and all before him shall die. No, seriously, quite a good idea. But i think Annoing will be able to think up something funny, like making the quest end in HED-GP _______________________________________________ Yes yes, blogging is passÚ I know.

Eva Korel	Posted - 2003.11.25 11:30:00 - [59] To day is my 5th day and I only managed to collect up 150k isk and only have 2 ships a velator and navitas but me happy lol. I'm going to give back the 100k someone game me. I have no need for money I am not greedy I am satisfied with my frigates. However if you give me the money it would help me alot in setting up a home for old and neglected frigates such as the velators. I will call this home the Old Frigate Museum and will buy up as many noobie frigates I can. So errrrrr don't have to give me the money I don't really need it lol but it might help other noobies as I will use it to buy their old ship :)
