EVE Online

You know, I was just thinking the same thing earlier today, just driving around in an Electronic Attack Frigate and frying their onboard systems.

I also think I'm going to sortie out my Domineutrix, the one with all vamps and neutralizers, but no guns.  Just to kill their caps, leave them floating in space, unable to scream.

Whole new ways of fucking with these guys.  Just jam+nuke cap+scram until they rage quit.  No need to shoot. 

Yeah, and then when they're so sick and tired of being unable to move and Alt-Q out of the game, scan down for their ship in deadspace and steal it.

You guys are seriously fucking evil. 

Don't think of it as being evil, think of it as providing a valuable learning experience to relatively new players to learn how to, well, not want to play anymore.

You guys are seriously fucking evil. 

It's fucking beautiful.

OK, so we're in their heads.

From their website:

War has come and this is a great opportunity for in a time prosperity for the corporation. The Board of directors and managers had a meeting and found out some details about our antagonists. The first is Alien Pancake Bonanza, a new pirating corporation (founded in march) trying to extort us (which will not happen) and the second is a very small 3 members mining corp that claims we have hindered their mining operations, most likely emotionally-unstable people.


Some skilled members have already informed us they want to fight in this conflict. Fleets will be formed to defend the corp and help newer pilots learn the basics of warfare faster. Any of you should revise your ship's insurances and your clone updates. The directors and the corporation will be able to provide help if necessary.


"Vigilance is the price of freedom"


For now, we recommend everyone to stay in station until further intelligence is gathered. If you do go out on missions, please send a private eve-mail to Einar Andresson or any of the directors if you see, or are attacked by an enemy (ship type, name, location and time will be valuable informations). As prevention is always better, the board of directors would recommend to everyone to do mission operations in groups as small fleets are more likely to survive any type of encounter and make missioning more profitable.


The corporation have the resources and the skill to handle a long conflict. I believe this will be our finest hour and a defining moment in the history of our corporation. We will rise up and blow away those corporations for we are already planning our offensive against these rivals. In the mean time, skill up, prepare, watch yourselves and be ready for some pretty fireworks.

So they're essentially camping themselves into stations?  That's......different.

Well, not all of them are listening.  Popped a Myrm last night, as my sig details.  RAWR

I wonder where the fuck they got that idea from

[Grey Fox]

You are a Mining Corp? WTF do you mine? Peoples' soul?

[CountDeMoney]

You are a Mining Corp?

No, said one of their members were cockblocking my mining alt, and I was wardeccing them to exact lost revenues.

And yes boohoo IRC is an innocent victim in all of this.  You win.  Now go cry in a corner.  No one cares about IRC.

Every time I am tempted to join this game, I see a post like this:  a normally pretty decent poster turned into a dickwad by what he sees as the optimal behavior in EVE.  Then I am glad I saved myself the money and lifespan.  This kind of shit is bad enough when it is just an EVE toilet overflowing into another forum, and I cannot imagine what the toilet must be like.

On the other hand, things like this look like fun.

to use your analogy:

the toilet is big enough that you can swim in clear waters without ever encountering a turd.

anyways, it's fun but not for everyone

Edit:  CdM, I've found it's terribly easy to "accidentally" mine enough trit and pye to build cruisers while reading a book or watching some TV or whatever, but where the hell do you find the other stuff needed (edit2: Iso, mega, mex, nocx, and zyd)?  I'm having to just buy it all off the market atm.  Is there anywhere in highsec my totally helpless alt (when it comes to solo PvP) can go to mine at least some of that?
