Even the copious quantities of "Mack bots" cottoned on to your cunning plan?

Smart bots.... Really.

mack bots aren't advanced enough to reship once you blow them up, sadly

Judging by the volumes traded there is a lot of speculation going on, and prices could crash hard. If I had any oxygen isotopes or blue ice, or mackinaws I would be dumping stock. Even retriever prices seem to have jumped.

The edge is REALLY hard to see at times but it DOES exist and in this case we were looking at a situation where a new feature created for all of our customers was being virtually curbstomped by five of them

Concerning goons claiming to fight botting - well that's plain, simple machiavelism - mittens is admittedly quite good at it (often too good, which renders things boring).
Bots will always be part of the game - getting all worked up about them is just a sign you perform tasks a simple script can do as well and thus, lack of creativity (no offense intended). I don't use bots, but I don't mind them.

tbh, it's not the bots themselves that gets me riled, it's the hypocrisy around them. Bots are stupid, the people making the claims about what they do/not do about them is, well, stupider.

As for the link - idk, but kangaroo meat was a quite common sight in Austrian supermarkets during the BSE crisis (guess most of it was imported from Australia though ;))

And it's a good meat. Very lean and if cooked right, is tender as.

Must admit, those that eat it cop some flak for eating "our Australia icon" but by and large, they're greenized city people who have NFI about them as the nuisance they can be.

Totally agree here. 'bout time the macro script writers fixed this.

Eventually one of three things will happen:
1) Bots will be changed to adapt, by staying aligned and warping out at the first sign of trouble (HINT: bots are much better at spamming the d-scan than humans are, and are much better at paying attention to the overview too)

2) Bots will change from Macronaws to Covetors. In order to prevent Gallente ice from reaching the market, Goons will have to be on top of these ice field on a regular basis, to prevent these less expensive ships from getting a cycle in.

3) The price of oxygen isotopes reach a critical point where (HEAVEN FORBID) it becomes more economical to mine in low sec.

We have bounties on Covetors, too. And they're even easier to kill.

Lowsec: you mean that place where there is no CONCORD and we can drop carriers on mining barges.

Yeah, that sounds like a great place to mine.

An insurable Covetor gets blowed up by an insured 'geddon.

Good for business...

Carry on.

If i ever come back back to Eve, biomassed 2 toons during the riots and waiting on subscrip to run out, - i'd be proud to be accepted as a cog in the greater good that is goons.

While all Mittani's ideas may not be fully thought out they are inspiring, fun, and offer a clear direction to move in.

so you couldn't/wouldn't actually join goons before the riots to liven up your sad-ass?

"if I ever come bacK"?

Goons are doing it NOW..... Why wait?

btw: Is this the main you didn't biomass or a new toon that took up a slot that was biomassed?

i bet the ruskies are making a fortune by having 100's of bots mining thick blue ice in the drone regions right now.

goons are actually encouraging botting... only now its even more prevailent in null sec.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Actually you'll find that a lot would love to but 'cos they're only a few, they're looking up to the wisdom, purity and strength of the Goons to lead the way.

Alas, Goons are on the Russian payroll so it ain't gonna happen.

Typical Goon BS. As usual.

Mittani is just doing mindless cheap **** to boost his "popularity", disguised as "doing good". As usual.
