Step 1: Set Goonswarm to negative 10 standings Step 2: Watch local Step 3: Warp out of the belt when reds enter local Step 4: ... Step 5: Profit?!?!?!?
Seriously though. You may not like their play style or what they do or find them offensive, but you don't have to. You don't have to understand them. The game exists so those that understand the rules of the game can enjoy the game. If you don't enjoy the game, there are other games you may enjoy. Goonies are enjoying the game. ----- CEO, Astrum Contract Services Group ACSG Open For Recruitment (AU/AsiaPac/Late Night PST) |

Ummm... have you tried setting an alliance to red on personal standings? You cant. And if you try to set each one of thier individual corps. LOL good luck with how many there are. And some people arent the leaders of thier corp to be able to influance the CEO to change standings for you.

Umm.. what he copied couldn't have been posted in local, because it cuts off before that. Unless they were posting a link to a killboard in local...
Looks like a troll tbh ------------

We need CCP to help us miners.
So.. you followed all steps to avoid getting ganked? That makes me wonder...
If you docked up, warped to a POS or warped to a safespot and cloaked as soon as someone you don't know entered local, how did you die?

He didn't set goons red and obviously likes mining in a somewhat busy system.  ------------

Nothing to do with profit. Goons are probably bored with the 0.0 regimental life-style and are having a larf. Have you seen any of their YouTube vids? Creased me up! They'll get bored with it soon and find something else... Just watch out though...

Originally by: Dianeces Necessary part of the game, too. Otherwise, people would be able to just blithely grind missions all day and not have any risk of losing their pimped out CNR. That is not what Eve is about.
That's what Eve is about *to me*. It's how I choose to play the game and if that choice becomes unviable, I'll just play something else. There's plenty other newer and more exciting games out there - Eve competes now solely on its somewhat dubious claims of polish and balance and community.
Now, I only ended up blithely grinding missions in my pimped-out CNR because I do not wish to share my game experience with the likes of gankers and goons, to whom a victory at any price is more desirable than a good game.
Remember those words? Good game. It's what people used to say to each other after both victory and defeat, when fun was had by both sides and a sporting attitude prevailed. You can build a good game, but cultivating a good community is something of a lost art. |

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 20/03/2008 09:30:08 They told you to go to Minmatar space*. You didn't comply, now you die.
It rhymes.
*Do you think there's any correlation between the fact they use Minmatar POS-es as this? Hehe. All the Exhumer ganking in high-sec is merely another kind of warfare imo

EVE competes with its pvp environment. The ability to shoot anyone anywhere.
This is what sells it. There are plenty of mission running grinding games you could play...in fact, why are you still here?

The numbers would tend to contradict such claims. Most players stay in Empire, from which I deduce most players are carebears, and I very much doubt that non-consensual pvp is what attracted them to the game.

Originally by: Kingwood I find the terms "God", "Jesus", and "Crusade" offensive too. Please do not bring them into this game. Christianity was responsible for mass murder in the dark ages. I am incredibly offended by anyone using these terms, and will petition it in the future.

Maybe the new council of players will help to change things and balance game play for everyone? If gameplay continues along these lines, as soon as another space sim with attention to detail like eve has comes out the PVPers of eve will have them selves and chinese farmers that they are buying isk from to play with. lol local:dukjfk--why you shoot me? i sold you 1 trill isk yesturady local:gankpiwat--no carebears left and i am afraid of other piwats local:dukjfk--yr next order will cost $L5 more next time for this

Originally by: Bob Socko You know, in the time it took you to pound this out, you could have been prepping for a trip to Minmatar space. You know, the safe space, where members of the swarm won't blow you up.
Bad advice. The goons are smarter than that. They're hearding the cattle into Minmatar space in preparation for the mother of all gankings.

A couple of points...
First, as many have pointed out, Empire space is not the same as safe space. Concord provides consequences not protection.
Second, at worst this is a silly Goon/Jihad thing. At best it is an effort to drive up prices of everything by making minerals scarce.
Third, its fair play in Eve. Eve is partly about learning how to survive. Learn!
Finally, take comfort in the fact that the Goons are spending, if not wasting, a whole lot of assets on this campaign. Yes, they brag about the number of kills, and the billions of isk they've destroyed, but what they don't post on their kill boards are their losses to Concord. They are getting the worst of this deal in terms of cost, but they are having fun and posts like this just encourage them to keep going.

What a wonderfully welcoming attitude! So much for that good community I was talking about. I guess it really is hopeless.

Pretty much. There are very few people I bear ill-will towards. People like yourself, who want to water down Eve, are at the top of that list. As I said before, have fun somewhere else; Eve obviously isn't for you, and you won't be missed.

The effects of the Jihadswarm so far:
A - Some ****ed off miners B - Some copycats C - Negligible impact on mineral/ship prices (according to the Market forums) D - A bunch more threads talking about Goons.
D is all they really wanted anyway.

Thats not very fair.
I followed all the help and info on this forum.
I ran a passive tank i alligned to the station, and still this bloody ship warps right on top of me locks me webs and scrams me then blows me to the 4 winds. Then the cheeky bugger asked if i like the "fire works" and types Allah in local. Not funny and not the sort of PAYING game i wish to play i think.
I reviewed all 5 kills the goons got in Hurtoken and no ship had anything ressembling a good passive tank with some effective HP.
People insisting on fitting their ships like crap get blown up. All good, makes for a lively market.

Fits with engineering 5/shield upgrades 4.
27k effective hp would likely require 3 BS at least to gank, torp ravens not working well on it because of the relatively small sig radius.
And it will passive tank highsec rats just fine too.
See, no civilian shield booster, no cargo expander, none of the crap you see one your average suicided hulk in fact. It's an expensive ship, protect your investment instead of doing all in your power to make it an attractive target.
