Yeah. I mean, it's only like a thousand of them in two days. no big deal.

You just go do your missions now, it'll be fine.

Cheers for keeping the spirit of Darwinism alive and well in the cuddliest parts of the space lanes. All the miners with half a clue should be rejoicing at even better returns on their profession right now.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

THIS GAME IS HARD, I CANT FIND A MINER ANYWHERE :)


We need to start fleeting up on some Orca pilots who think they're unbreakable (Abudban ice belt hint hint :))

For once, mining in low sec is actually preferable to high sec.
Equal chances of getting ganked with slightly higher reward potential if you don't.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

You already get a high reward from mining, if you are lucky you get to keep your ship, that equates to over 300m reward no?

I am extremely disappointed that there is no Opt Out For 200m Isk link on the Hulkageddon page.

I'm not much for scamming really.

I know right, how weird is that. I never steal the billions and billions of prize money either :(

I fail at piracy.

300m? hahah That's funny.

I can't even fly a hulk (even if I could, I wouldn't this month)

Retriever, T1 strips. ~10 mil loss if I'm popped.
Does it hold a candle to a Hulk's harvesting rate? No.

Beats the crap out of it when it comes to ROI though, not to mention it can be insured.

It's not a scam, we actually earn loads on the opt-out programs because we're very good at managing the whitelist--who wouldn't want to earn money just for NOT killing somebody?

I hope you'll excuse me if I brag a little here, but we've built a Goonfleet Hulkageddon Opt Out Program infrastructure that puts to shame our previous opt-out programs--all YOU'd need to do is add an extra tab labelled Opt Out informing folks that it's an option should they want it =D



Why, here's some sample text you could use for that tab:


Goons love player-driven events, and Goons love fun! However, we understand that PvP is not a universal pursuit within the EVE community. Therefore we give YOU, the miners, the heart of the EVE economy the opportunity to "opt out" from this historic event.

What does Opting out do?

Opting out from the Hulkacaust will give the opt out-er several rights:

Mining Immunity

Goonfleet will have many, many fleets out hunting hulks and such throughout New Eden during the event, but miners are not just killed indiscriminately! By opting out you will be automatically flagged for safe passage wherever you would lay your mining laser, allowing YOU to serve the greater good of EVE economy.

Reimbursement

Whilst you will be safe from Goonswarm members directly, we cannot always control our 0.0 associates. We understand that mistakes will be made, and, as always, we are ready to put our isk where our avatars are or whatever. Therefore, in the unlikely case of pilot error we offer FULL reimbursement on your hull, fitting AND cargo (providing, of course, an API verified killmail). One of the more popular features of our Jita Opt Out Program was our "Right of Return Serve", where opt-out-ers who were mistakenly shot would be provided the opportunity to kill and pod their killers--we regret to inform the EvE community that this will not be available for the Hulkageddon event because the logistics of it would just be far too difficult with the killings so widespread. Instead, we have decided that reimbursement payments to the Shot-Opted will be extracted from the wallets of the dim jerk-o-matic who shot a character on the whitelist--how's that for some Street Justice?


Applying to the opt-out program

Applications to the opt-out program are handled exclusively by a team of Reimbursement Officers organized just for this event--speak to any Goonfleet personnel to be directed towards an Officer. After you have been processed your pilots will be added to the opt-out list and will be cleared for asteroid access anywhere in the entirety of New Eden --you could fly your exhumer to VFK during Hulkageddon and you can't be touched (although you might have some trouble getting it out if you leave it there past June)

Fly safe!

You are welcome to "opt out" of my contracts, simply press accept to agree to the "opt out" terms and conditions.

Lol Stop with the BS, really. Someone who says otherwise is the person who never lived in 0.0 mining and doing PVE.



I have done both, and these days I make my ISK missioning in 0.0 and hi-sec

Hi sec is about 100x safer.


Grab a Hulk and mine in high sec then. Go on, do it. Blink



Sure thing, as long as you grab one and start mining in G-0Q.

We'll see who lasts longest, shall we?


If you are blue to everyone they should not be shooting you.

Yeah, but if you did that, HAG wouldn't be a yearly event.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Even MORE convinced you would be no fun in a game of Monopoly.

Dear oh dear.

It looks like we have made a mess!

Remember boys and girls, for the rest of the month you get paid 100million isk for every 10 killing blows!
And if you're particularly deadly, you might win some awesome prizes!

Love,

H.B.


9000 more to go to get more kills tan burn jita (ofc most of those were attacking ships but still)

Um yeah its actually not, those were likely leftover bots of ppl too rich to care, like the 3.6 billion kill

HaG promotes the use of fear to accomplish a goal. That goal being to stop miners.

Quote:
An abiding characteristic is the indiscriminate use of violence against noncombatants for the purpose of gaining publicity for a group, cause, or individual. The symbolism of terrorism can leverage human fear to help achieve these goals.


so... in EVE, you are a terrorist.
