Do you really think it can be done?

What prevented Goons or a hundred other alliances from doing it before? Ethics?

Nice scam tho, Goons.

No. There was just not enough threads about it before, but with this one, you personally have made it possible! Big smile

Motivation. That's what usually stops people from doing things. They are now motivated, so they will now do it.

Ethics? in Eve? dream on P

Nobodies tried it before because it's probably very resource and time hungry organising what is to all intents and purposes a full scale military invasion in a system with what amounts to an invincible security force. It'll be costly in ships for the invaders and leaves them with a possible weakness in null. Also ego, Goons haz a collective one, and rightly so, they play hard and imho utilise the sandbox to the max. You've got to admire the balls on them for even thinking about it.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Put it this way.....


The Burning of Jita had been planned WAY WAY WAY before Mittens got banned.

The Jitacaust (as I call it) was originally planned as a celebration if/when Mittens won the CSM chair. And it was scheduled for THIS weekend (1 week after fan fest).

In light of recent events, the motivation and timing have changed.


The high sec Ice Intervention was actually practice to test CONCORD mechanics for the Jita Burn.... And also to test fleet compositions needed to make it work.


/speculation over


PS: This isnt just blind willy-nilly ganking. There will be a method to this madness. Trust me.

Ice Incursions weren't a field test of Concord because most of the .7 sec Ice systems didn't get touched. Even now all the gankery is restricted to .5 because it's the only system that allows for Concord delay to get it done. Jita has no belts and a .9 sec Concord timer, ie: No timer.

All the power to them but if this works and Goons manage to do it, expect it to happen alot more often.

One shot one kill. x = Tornados, y = Tornado alpha, z = freighter hp

That would be funny as ****. Get everyone pumped for a mass attack and then...nothing. Intergalactic blueballs at their finest.

When you get right down to it Jita is a player designated trade hub; CCP did not choose it... There is nothing sacred about the location other than that's where players have chosen to congregate for trade. Will the "burning" of Jita mean anything? Probably not. The participants will eventually get tired of it and calm down - things will largely go back to the way they were. (that is if anything really happens at all)

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

The market is a self healing system. Sellers move a) where buyers are or b) where there is an established place to conduct business in a relatively safe environment. Should Jita actually burn then a new hub for Caldari space would eventually establish itself. However I think for historic reasons it will remain at JIta when the market calms down, everyone "meh"s at the goons interdiction, and business will return to normal.

In the meantime let them burn it. And if you dont want it to burn put together a fleet and stop them. It is hisec so Concord, albeit busy, will be there to attempt to stop it.


CCP if this happens, do not interfere!

Despite my posting prowess I really am terrible at this game

Nothing more than a bunch of monkeys throwing feces at the visitors, screaming for attention. If they were even half serious about it, they would start today and do it until the 28th. As it stands, pure irrelevency, chest thumping, back slapping, smack talking, nothing more.

Who gives a f*ck about Jita anyways? Nothing to see here folks, go back to your homes.
