How about a proper competition?

I'll gather some money up ... any donations?

Anyone got a decent Venture fit?

Thinking DCU 2, Med extender, couple of Invul hardners. Maybe Neuts in high & ECM drones? Would that survive long enough for Concord to show up?

Brb, need to go find it.

Edit: found it.

Don't sound like much of a contest.

Month long, cheap prizes and easy prey.


No wonder people like to laugh at CODE

Your name always reminds me of Monkey Island!

Great memories! GROG! GROG! GROG!!

Of course it's easy pray... all they can attract are low hanging fruits.
Haters and liars who love to pick on others. (:

They're ganking carebears. Gankbears. :)

This part is idiotic.

The rest, I hope you all have fun with it.

The encouragement to specifically target new players, that's just dumb.

Oh, come on now, don't let reading comprehension get in the way of a good witch hunt.

That's the way I wanted to read it to.

If that's the case, why the requirement that the venture pilot not be biomassed?

That's not about not rolling gank alts, since that's already clearly against the rules and you guys are well aware of that.

It's easily interpreted as killing the youngest venture pilot when both those aspects of the rules are read together.

Except that both readings are equally possible and were considered.

Youngest (venture pilot) killer, or (youngest venture pilot) killer.

And no witch hunt from me at least. Anything that brings more pvp to the game is welcome. Targeting new players, just asking for trouble.

That way I don't multibox my way into a free prize, I imagine.

Make an alt, kill my own venture with said alt after a few hours.

It's lack of writing skills, not lack of reading skills. And the edit didn't help much either. Geez, get James315 to have a look at the text before posting it!

Anyway, this way it's nice. I still think you should all take Sabriz's stance further and suggest that all participants reimburse <1-2 month old characters, or at least give them a free catalyst to use as they deem appropriate. Pirate

James did not post it after all. This was an initiative proposed and funded by an individual CODE member.

Sure. That would be idiotic of course. Which could equally apply to the no biomass in the same way that a EULA infringement could.

It's poorly phrased in the OP by Loyalanon.

Both interpretations are equally valid the way it is currently expressed. CODE types aren't necessarily any smarter than anyone else in the game (some of them absolutely are very on the ball). It's easy to see how some players wanting to get involved will interpret that rule, as intended, or not as intended.

Fortunately we have a couple of days to work out the particulars.

Lmao my writing skills suck too, apparently. Blink I meant: have James look at loyalanon's post (and possibly edit it) before loyalanon posts it.

And all the best with it. It would be a poor outcome if some new player wanting to get involved ended up banned because he/she imagined the rule to be different than it was meant.

Was going to point the half-cocked pitchfork brigade in the direction of the "youngest killer, not youngest prey" wording, but thankfully some common sense already showed up in the thread.

How about a bonus prize for the most Ventures killed by a Venture? Blink

They're not just rookie ships, that's just the arguement of everyone who lazily goes down the "biggest am bestest" rule of ship piloting. Great couriers for smuggling through warzones given warp strength, small sig, align time and speed - even better as wormhole divers for miners, with low risk/replacement cost per hull in exchange for a 5k m3 hold of arkonor.

And if you want to do a public service while you're hunting, just get in touch with the people who get annoyed by the Faction Warfare Venture farmers/bots...
