Toria Nynys Minmatar	Posted - 2007.02.13 20:46:00 - [1] Awesome. Now that I have your attention. I've got about 1B in assets, and until 3/20 to spend them on The Most Fun Possible. What would YOU do if you had two accounts with characters at about 2.2M and 3.6M SP, a billion or so in assets, a month of time and not a care about the future? I'm looking for ideas here people. So far my thoughts are: 1. Sponsor a bunch of competitions, giving out around 100M or so in prizes at the end of each. The front runner for the first competition is a noob frigate free for all in Amamake. The newbie frig pilot to survive undocking from a station in Amamake and survive some sort of brawl wins 100M. Need to think about the logistics of this one through some more. 2. Put 100M bounties on random low security rating people in Rens, alert various suicide squads that I have done so. 3. Give myself a slight head start and then put a 100M bounty on myself. Notify interested bounty hunters that I have done so. Fly through various low/nosec areas to the best of my ability for an hour (estimated 30 jumps). If I surivive for a whole hour, head to goonies space. (Does being ganked by a POS award a bounty to anyone?) 4. Sponsor suicide squads to clean complex campers. That's it. All the ideas I've come up with. How about you Eve vets? If I like your idea enough there could be a Raven in it for you.

Go hunting after a well known alliance that has been in loads of trouble as of late.....that amount will keep me supplied in clones and ships for about 2 weeks of hunting.

Soporo	Posted - 2007.02.13 20:56:00 - [13] Fun? I cant think of anything more fun to watch than Hiring EVERY Merc unit in EVE to 'dec Privateers. If you want to be thorough, get a couple to dec em one week, then another couple for the next, then etc etc. Not only is it fun, it's provides a valuable public service, just think of the warm fuzzy feeling youll get! Oh, and naturally you will want to hook up the man who designed such and eloquent solution to your quandry.

cinderbrood Caldari The Rat Pack	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:03:00 - [19] pay me to hunt bob :D
Zephyrys Caldari RennTech	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:03:00 - [20] Give half or a quarter of it to random newbies of your choice. Make a scavanger hunt.. get a few ppl you trust to hold some of the loot.. then have them sit in systems and make the lookers find them based on clues about the system. Then dish out loot to each person that finds the ships. Fully deckout a ship or declare someones decked out ship champion and make ppl 1v1 with him for a chance to win some cash. Can go by most damage dished out to champion before distruction or til the death. Give 1 person alot of cash and get them to an out of the way sector of space in 0.0 and collect about 2-3 dozen low lvls.. I would say BC and below and make then dash for cash.. first person to reach the target wins..(in some cases this should go through 0.0 space so the ccontestants can thin the herd a bit. But give them a time limit.. say.. the length of a jetcan.. so its random but not set so ppl can decide to waste time shooting down the other contestants and risk the jetcan popping or just race their on their own. Just remember to gang with all the runners and make sure its them showing up to claim the cash.. not their frined who wasn prepositioned to get their before everyone else. And donate some to the idea posters :)

Hrm. Do you think I could do that? I know absolutely nobody in the corps/alliances hunting BoB members, and as I hear getting hired in wartime is not that easy. Don't get me wrong, I'd be all over this if I could figure out how to pull it off and not just be a free kill for their boards.
Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:13:00 - [24] Edited by: Akita T on 13/02/2007 21:13:59 I've got almost 1.2 bil in liquid ISK, and probably up to 2 bil or more in various assets... still don't consider it as much. Well, anyway, if you DON'T care about the future and you have about one month left (so I can only assume you just cancelled your subscription or something), the MOST fun you can get out of it is to... * liquify most of your assets * buy BPOs of whatever it is you plan on flying (T1 frigates or T1 cruisers, all usual equipment BPOs) * get a really fast ship (nano-BS seems to be a decent pick), move out to some pirate-faction-controlled space with BPOs inside your cargo (or put them as courier contracts and wait for them to be delivered first before attempting the move) * set up medical clones in your new base of operations * buy minerals and mass-manufacture enough ships and equipment for your next month * fly out, kill as much as you can before getting killed, lather, rinse repeat YAY ! P.S. If you can find any aquaintances willing to go along with you for the one-month ride, let them clone-jump to a blank clone first, then have them move the blank ones to wherever you're going to be, and also get BPOs for what THEY plan on flying and their equipment. Then they can jump back and forth every 24h between "fun" and "regular gameplay" to help you out a bit. _ MySkills \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained
Alumion Amarr Dragons of the Twilight Sun	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:17:00 - [25] Smartbombing Jita 4-4 undocking area is the standard goodbye-EVE tradition. From that much ISK you could do it with an entire fleet. Think of the cries for help on local --- The boundries have always been blurred in Eve. Only now are they crystal clear. Nothing is cheating until you get caught.
Dawnstar Gallente Kiroshi Group	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:17:00 - [26] 1. Create scavenger hunts with contracts. Pick out a large assortment of strange items that people have to deliver to you for isk. By strange, I mean to pick a difficult assortment of items to assemble that are truly bizarre and make absolutely no sense why someone would want them. You might also go with a party theme too. 2. The rookie frigate fight sounds fun... you might also consider doing one with T1 industrials. -D
Toria Nynys Minmatar	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:20:00 - [27] Originally by: Haxa hire mercs to make trouble in the new regions to drive the price of high end mins back up You could have stopped at 'hire mercs to make trouble.' I still have no idea how to do this, but I think I could just offer a bounty on the corpse of each miner brought to me or something. Definitely an avenue worth exploring.
Octaviun Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.02.13 21:23:00 - [28] Are you the guy who got that Vindicator for 1 millon isk and your asset is just 1 Vindicator worth 650mil isk but buyout of 1bil ^^ lol just wondering _________________________________________________

I think the eloquent word you were looking for was 'elegant.' Since I'm just a newbie I have very little clue re: who the Privateers are and more importantly why it would be fun to harass them. I'll look into what it'd cost to hire mercs to wardec BoD though.
