Originally by: TeddyBr FTW NEWS Miners Strike Out at JihadSwarm reported by: ISD Magnus Balteus
"Almost a month ago, ISD Argooros Ployon published a story about GoonSwarmÆs ôJihadSwarmö; GoonSwarmÆs attack on the mining community of New Eden. Since that story was reported, TeddyBr FTW, a self professed miner and industrialist, has called on the mining community to band together and resist the JihadSwarm in a manner best suited for their nature; by hiring mercenary corporations to target GoonSwarm pilots throughout New Eden.
With a steady flow of donations coming in, TeddyBr has placed contracts with the mercenary corporations R.E.P.O. and TNT. A third mercenary corporation may be hired if contributions continue to come in. TeddyBr reports that the mercenaries have inflicted over 12 billion isk worth of damage on the JihadSwarmists."
We Miners ARE gettin the word out... and more Gasbags to die soon!
Do you get a boner at the thought that you might maybe but not really be hurting Goonswarm as a whole with two small merc corps killing the odd hauler in empire?

I really hate the fact that they put are calling this a holy war, in the name of Allah. I really want to see who the guy is that made it up, not to hit him, just to see if he's actually a muslim or whatever. It's the dumbest thing ever. _____________________________ "So what do you need, besides a miracle?"

Jihad...Holy war...terms not to be thrown about lightly this day in age. As a Marine I have seen what these people do in the name of jihad. From this post I think it is pretty clear who some of the main players are. One school of thought might warn these players taking light of such atrocities can carry some very real consequences. With such wonders and google, white pages, friend finder and the like that web isn't as anonymous as people might think.

I have to agree with TradeMule Beta. I was insulted that I feel that such things should never be said in this day and age with the horror's of reality so close at hand. I myself lost my Hulk while my son mined for me yesterday, only was able to use it for less than 24 hours, but I had watched that U Tube video "When Carebears Attack" so was set up just enough so that my Hulked lived long enough for my drones to take that Goon Battles Crusier with me :P Next time I'll be at the helm waiting for them. I will donate. Come and try to get me Goon's, I'll be waiting... By the way, A player showed up with the Goon, his name was Iam ***, he salvaged the wreck of the Goon and took my drones before I could recover them, think he's an alt-Goon.

hrm... Thought you were just being a member of goonswarm when I first glanced at your post but your actually correct, but it wasn't just limited to the Jews it was the majority of each minority in turn.
Anyway back on subject; this is a Charity I can completely support so anybody that doesn't want to watch me shave my balls and/or palms better donate. Otherwise live in fear of clicking on that next EvE-O movie.  Inveniam viam aut faciam. |

I'd like to say a word here about the latest posts. A point to be made here - This is a computer game, and should not be taken out of proportion. As much as the name to the GS campaign is ill chosen, there is no point in bringing real life into this. I say it as a jew and israelian who lives in the heart of it all. Secondly, there are other ways to hurt the GS "Jihadists" than employing random force. Miners can mine in packs and employ mercs to protect them while mining, thus denying the easy kill from GS. If enough miners organize together, the mercs will be able to guard them all with greater force and insure their safty. Another way is to organize mining strikes, decide on days that no high sec mining will occur, including the trading of minerals. All those who break this rule will be flagged and hunted as GS alts or accomplices. Sufficient to say that such an act will motivate most high sec corporates, who are dependent of the mineral flaw, to take action against GS and thus achieve a high sec coalition that will drive GS back to 0.0
But ideas to one side, and reality to another, it all depends on execution and willingness of all miners to actually sit and decide on such a step. If consensus isn't reached, there will be no effect.

Originally by: Brisco County is jihadswarm targeting every miner they find, or just the macro miners?
what is the angle here?
You can read their message on their killboard (jihadswarm.com). They are targeting Exhumer pilots.
A new scourge is on the mining scene. A claim was made that ice product prices are up. This claim is false. Ice product prices are down.
How can ice product prices be down? Simple. Instead of an Asian farmer making 6 accounts to macro-mine with, that guy now uses a meta-macroing tool to control tens of clusters of 6 retrievers. Look in any ice belt. You will see clusters of chars with a random selection of 4-letters, 5-letters, or 6-letters -- all lower-case. All that ice flooding the market is driving prices lower -- supply and demand.
This scourge is so repulsive that even the goons are bending their rules to take out their retrievers (not an Exhumer class). You can see this on their killboard.
Join the channel 'macrointel' and help report the macroers, and train a char up to kill some of them.
Killing people in Empire is not against the game's rules. In fact it is one of the few tools we can use to fight back against isk farmers, since CCP is doing jack all to remove them.
Who am I? I am Miter. I occasioanally mine. I've witnessed about 4 goon attacks in Carirgnottin. Each time there was plenty of warning, enough so that I could dock, mention something in local, change ships, get back out to watch the inevitable while cloaked. In each cash it was either a person using macro to mine, or somone mining while extremely afk. So, in my book, the goons are actually doing the community some good by killing off people breaking the EULA.

While this will work theoretically... in reality it will cost too much. You would have to pay their wardec fee of 150m a week plus their time if they are just going to sit there. It would add up to hundreds of millions of isk a week and they probably won't even kill anyone as the Goons will just fly away.
How is that hurting the Gasbags? Unrealistic.
Your best bet is to just train Shield Management to V and get four small shield extender IIs on and that will get you over 3,200 shields of protection. And warping out when you see goons in system would be a really good idea to. Just set the Goons to -10 and run when you see any.
As is your second point. (mining strikes) Not enough miners will ever agree to this.
So how about just working with me to kill the Goons? It is so satisfying to look at all those Gasbag kills.

How is going afk against the EULA? This is a totally bogus argument.
I have a hulk setup that allows me to mine 17 ice crystals before I have to dock. That is 19-23 minutes that it can sit there without me having to monitor it while I can go off and eat, do a load of laundry or watch TV with the kids. There is nothing in the EULA that says I have to be at the PC every second.
I and many others play the game we want to play it... not according to how others want us to. Most miners stay in high sec cause they know they are just an easy kill to about anyone in low or 0.0 space. Most miners will not be forced to move from high sec no matter how much you ravenous blood thirsty cravens want them too.
So we will pay mercs to kill the gasbags for their depradations of these game mechanics and we hope that CCP will soon make all Concord kills not payout insurance. This is the only way to fix this travesty of game play.

Agree to disagree Salivan Harddin. There is a point to it. Their kind only understand and respond to one kind of response. Anything else is a waste of time. "This is only a game" is used too often to justify many kinds of distasteful acts. If they want to play that kind of filth...well as the old saying goes...you play with fire...

Well, golly, feel free to ignore the meat of my post where I'm talking about asian farmers using macroing programs to mine tons of ice. It's against the EULA.

You are right! It's not against the EULA to go afk while pulling in ice for half an hour. Likewise, it not against the EULA to kill people who stupidly fly hundred million isk ships while wandering away, afk, ignoring the game.
Originally by: TeddyBr FTW no matter how much you ravenous blood thirsty cravens want them too.
Oh. So now I'm a ravenous, blood-thirsty craven? GG.
I said nothing about your little campaign. You are completely free to do it. Best rename it to ''War Fund to Protect Massively AFK Miners,'' IMO. I highly doubt your campaign will have any effect, and I can take care of my own mining self: the two reasons I won't be contributing.
Sorry your style of mining completely afk has been impacted. You never were safe, however, and I think you owe thanks to the Goons for removing the veil of ignorance you were flying under.
I thank the Goons. They have made me re-evaluate my setup. While no configuration will provide complete safety, a proper tank with attentiveness to local will make me a much harder target to kill than some goof going way, far afk while mining.

And somehow I can't see someone getting motivated enough to start a campaign like this unless that person has already died, which, given the admission about completely-out-the-door-afk mining, makes it seem all the more likely. This is not a signature. |

I am shocked and horrified at the use of the term 'guns' in EVE Online. Guns have been responsible for thousands upon thousands of real-life deaths and to mention them in a game which people play for fun is insensitive beyond words. I hope CCP are hanging their heads in shame right now.

This tbh.
I do not give a s*** about suicide ganking, but insurance payout for this is nonesense. Many people agree there should be none, and I dont really understand why CCP has not changed this yet.
EVE is supposed to be cruel. You lose a ship to Concord - no insurance payout, tough luck. That is how it should be.

Actually I have not been ganked. I'm doing this totally as a gut reaction to how I would feel if I was though.
You people (not Miter) do know how boring mining is don't you? (Well maybe you don't) Afk mining is the only way I could keep sane doing it. I know there is more of a risk leaving my ship to mine till I come back.
(This is to make sure Miter sees this)

Why would the leadership force Goons to stop? It's fun and provides an entertaining distraction during operational downtime. I keep an empire clone just to blow off some steam so I don't get burned out on POS warfare.
