Missions & Complexes

That's it. I'm not doing another mission as long as I live. I'd rather afk mine veldspar in an Ibis than slowboat at 70 m/s for hours to another activation gate 50km away in my ridiculously OP faction fit Raven.

So here's the idea. I have ISK. In fact, I have more ISK than I care for but what I do not have is time, patience, and most important of all, standings.

This is where you come in. You fleet up with me and I request missions from my Caldari Navy Slave Driver, er, Agent. Then, you head out there and do whatever soul-draining task CCP wanted me to do, and come back with the mission item/mission site completed. I turn the mission in and reap the standings; no sharing those. Then I pay you. I pay you enough to make it worth your while to subject yourself to the torture I can no longer bear.

This sum will have to be a multiple of the mission reward ISK (not including the time bonus.) I am open to suggestion. Naturally, some of you will be more inclined to accept this proposal than others. Therefore, the format of this thread will be that of an auction. Your bid will be an integer or a number with any number of decimal places. You are welcome to bid irrational numbers like π or √2. That is only fitting as this is a highly irrational venture.

Let's say you bid "5." This means you are willing to do the mission and let me have the standings in return for a payment of 5 times the mission reward (not including time bonus). Couldn't be clearer.

The auction closes when I feel like it and the lowest bid wins.

I will offer the lowest bidder at least 3 (three) missions at their bid, after that it all depends on how I'm feeling.

A couple of rules:

1. Don't talk to me unless it's important. This is business; no fraternization.


2. If you die while missioning, you're fired. Don't ask me for money.


3. You can bring as many friends as you like, but only you will get paid.


4. If you're one of those people that take several hours to complete a single mission, our partnership will be a short one.


5. You can keep the loot and salvage.


6. You may select the level (up to 4) and type of mission, but I will select the agent and location.


7. No storyline, COSMOS, data-center or epic arc missions.

Questions are welcome. I will update this post to answer them, and update status of the bid.

With that, let the bidding begin. I will start off with the initial multiple of 10. Please bid numbers smaller than the lowest current or initial bid.

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that LP are best accounted for separately. I will pay 1k ISK per LP completely independently of the mission reward multiple. Hope that clarifies things and incentives more offers.

Dude it takes like 3 days to get good standings to a corp, or about a week to get good ones to a faction. You're doing it wrong.

Aha..... good point.....

oh my, guess i will undock my officer fit tengu and fly to the system you want me to be in then.

Under this plan, wouldn't you have to undock and potentially jump to the target system so that you can spawn the site for the person who's actually doing the work? If you're really lazy and impatient, seems like one of the advertised standings sale services would make a lot more sense. Sure, you're only getting half the standings, but in this scheme you're still required to be tied to one spot and doing work.

Here's an option, if you still want to contract, all you have to do is take your pod to the mission site (rats won't attack pods) then let your partner warp to you. As long as they save the position (in case of warp out), you need only do that. Your time/mission is time to get to mission site, wait a sec, and warp back. Just a though.

Thats the exact number I came to when I first calculated Risk VS reward, but then I thought no way is any Long time vet like this fine gentleman OP going to accept that, so I devised a plan, my plan was to make the numbers look smaller, with minuses, alass, he has some kind of a hidden defense in the form of 9.99, It was a Tarp!
