Is there a betting pool if this will fail or not?

If so, I'd like to place 100 on fail.

So what do people think about the resistance against the goons?

MOAR TEARS and DOF have already pledged to help stop the burn.

Wish them the best of luck and much success.

Jita will not burn for at least a month. Mittani wants to reply personally to everyone who posted into his 250+ pages thread first.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Be aware that a goon fairy said it was going to be Friday the 27th, a day earlier than thought to catch people unawares.

Thought this was interesting about this:

Quote:
The funniest part of this of all is that it is entirely possible that Goonswarm is preparing the greatest bait-and-switch in gaming history. What do I mean? “1800 Tornados,” Mittens says, is what the Goons are preparing for use in Jita. It sounds enormous. It’s four times as many Tornados as there are for sale, total, in Jita as I type this. It’s an investment easily exceeding 200 billion ISK.

A freighter, though, has about 200,000 effective hit-points and Jita is a 0.9 system. I find it difficult to believe that the Tornados will get two volleys, but I know next to nothing about suicide-ganking freighters. Let’s suppose they do get two volleys off each. A single Tornado volley is good for about 11000 EHP of damage. That means it’ll take nine Tornados to gank a single freighter. That means that 1800 Tornados can gank about 200 freighters. Do you have any clue how many freighters and jump freighters go through Jita?

Here is the least busy time I could find, watching freighters make their way around the Jita system for one hour. This is Tuesday night USTZ, traditionally the least busy time in EVE, from 0000 to 0100 EVE time. I was able to lock 105 freighters in one hour. If you’re on that list, bang, you lost a freighter or JF.

But weekends are a hell of a lot busier. Last Sunday afternoon, I passed counting 100 freighters after 20 minutes. Snapcount informs me very reliably that there are an average of 7000 more people logged in on Saturday than on a weekday. The Goons have to know this. Which means that even if everything goes perfectly for them, they’ll exhaust their Tornados in about 90 minutes… tops. It’ll be a blip. An amazing blip and an orgy of destruction, to be sure, but shorter than an Incursion Live Event. It might very well be over before you could get there to watch, even if you knew exactly what time it was going to start.


OFC the part he doesnt think of there is theyve had a month to build up more ships lol

Also, Hulkageddon is a month long this time? Or is Helicity BSing?

Hahaha, what a joke.

Does that mean he'll be dancing the ship Tango 1 on 1 privately with everyone?

I highly doubt it.

Jita approaches. We told everyone that we’ll be attacking Ѕaturday, April 28th; this is a lie. We actually attack one day early, on Friday, when the producers scramble to try to re-stock their supply at the last moment while it is still ‘safe’. We have more than fourteen thousand Thrashers and an equally intimidating number of Tornadoes ready to go.

Look at the latest post

Today’s patch has several additions that will **** the market: drone alloys are being removed, many meta 0 mission drops that refine into minerals are being removed, and drone region truesec is being nerfed hard. Amidst this feverish speculation, three specters loom large in the minds of the gentle denizens of hisec: tech prices, Hulkageddon, and the Ѕack of Jita. Fear‚ speculatіon, a supply crunch, and our efforts to actively terrorize the market will transform, we hope, into a state of raw panic, like oxygen isotopes writ large across the heart of EVE’s economy.

Jita approaches. We told everyone that we’ll be attacking Ѕaturday, April 28th; this is a lie. We actually attack one day early, on Friday, when the producers scramble to try to re-stock their supply at the last moment while it is still ‘safe’. We have more than fourteen thousand Thrashers and an equally intimidating number of Tornadoes ready to go. But it is time for us to discuss brass tacks, the practicality of the Ѕack and how to pull it off.

WHAT WE NEED FRОM YOU: Gank fleet Ѕkirmish Commanders. If we have hundreds of goons and allies for the purge‚ we wіll need teams of approximately 25 Tornadoes operating independently. That requires leaders: our regular FCs can only fill so many slots. Topgoon fcs, Home Defense fcs, Dread Pirates – if you can command 30 men and tell them to press F1 at the right time to alpha a freighter, we’ll need you on deck this weekend.

TORNADO FLEETЅ: These will be ganking freighters which are full of goods, not just any freighter. Cargo scan them, find the biggest targets, and pop them.

THRAЅHER FLEETS: It takes 220 Thrashers to kill a freighter. We are not using Thrashers as anti-freighter targets; we are using them to sow completely random terror. Two Thrashers can alpha most T2 frigates. Ten or more can pop industrials of almost any kind with ease. While the Tornado fleets interdict freighters, Thrasher gangs of almost any size – from one angry goon podding anyone dumb enough to expose a pod in Jita, to 30+ taking out Noctii – will run through Jita ensuring that everyone gets to feel the love.

FABULОUЅ PRIZES: We will be offering all sorts of prizes to the most murderous during the Sack‚ not just to іndividuals but to membercorps who distinguish themselves by blowing up the most freighters or get the most impressive killmails. These will be announced in more detail as Friday approaches.

The Ѕack lasts from Friday to Ѕunday. The goal is indiscriminate terror leading to profitable chaos on the markets. Immediately after the Sack, Hulkageddon – sponsored in large part by our Tech isk – begins. As an aside, Hulks are almost 400m each now, in large part due to Technetium prices, and that price will only rise now that ОTEC is becoming a reality. Tech spikes, more Hulks die, mineral supply is constricted even further, and everyone – save our cartel – suffers for it.

This could all be an anti-climatic giant troll. Meh... there'll be something to salvage I'm sure Big smile
