On the contrary, it would appear my manifesto is more relevant today than ever before.

I thought it was relatively well written, for all that I don't agree with half of it and I doubt the OP does either. It's just words and writing that says something. Of course, I'm not sure what it says, because I didn't get that far along into it before making my assessment and movig on.

..moving on now.

An interesting read which succeeded in inverting my opinion of highsec miners and the gankers who target them.

Though this entire thread is going to be just people commenting on the sheer number of words, as if they've never read a book before in their life.


Hahaha

Good read OP!

I'm commenting on this, only because I feel what i am about to say needs saying. Just like about everyone else here.

Am i a highsec miner? sometimes. I build ships, I need ore. Usually, it's tritanium. battleships take a few K m/3 apiece. I have a corp i enjoy talking to. I refuse to AFK mine. Mostly because when i first came into EVE, the friend who brought me in raised me in losec, then we moved to 0.0. AFK mining is dangerous, and I have to agree with a few points fromt he first poster. afk mining is for bots. I talk to my corp mates, I drop a can when the hauler comes in, I get my ore. My first ten, twelve battleships I ever owned int he game, i built out of mission loot, metal scraps and mined minerals. Not high enough Meta? reprocess it. Admitted, I usually mien in an osprey. Or haul for a cut of the ore as an industrial. Sometimes I even haul a full load of ore in a freighter. I consider this all a part of mining. so. am i a highsec miner? sometimes. Most of the time I'm a support pilot. logistics ships, e-war, interceptors. I don't care about kills, i care about results. I feel if you want to afk mine, find some dead end system, have your corp mates blockade the gate, then mine away. When they become bored and wander off, don't yell at them for doing the same thing you did in going AFK. somebody sneaks past and blows you up, you will know who to blame.

I think a lot of the rage agaisnt highsec mining is why you do it. It is rage vs people who are not even playing, just earning their ISK for 'free'. I support the industrialists who mine in fleets in wormholes, in 0.0, actively chatting up their corps, alliances, working in game for a better future, weither it is for selling ore for ISK or bulding capitol ships.

Thank you.

There's no other expierience quite like killing a miner. Pirate

Dropping out of warp right on top of a half billion ISK just begging to be washed down the sink.
The law biting at your heels, everything overheated, red, and blinky.Twisted
The stupid "Are you sure?" question box. Evil
A quick wink in local as their usless faction shield booster goes unused. Blink
The total carnage that ensues when Concord finally shows up. Big smile
Their friends really awesome attempt at podding you as you instawarp to safteyRoll
The shocked look on their face 10 minuts later, when they realize they were killed. Shocked
The confusionQuestion, the anguish Ugh, the rage Evil , embarrassment Oops , and finally the beautiful rainbow flavored tears Cry
I love miningPirate

But the best part?
Helping prices keep up with the ever increasing flood of ISK being artificially pumped into eve every day. Through plex and GTC's.
Because, everyone and their dog shouldn't be able to afford to PVP in Macherials and Titans.
Because, I remember a time when piloting a battleship was more than a fashion statement, and fielding a Titan was a life altering decision! Pirate

If this was posted in any other PvP game, the TLDR definition it'd get would be:

"ITT where bads theorize and gloat about killing noobs".

His newest thread got locked. But that was more because of all the re-re's comparing the OP to H*tler and Goons to N*zis.

And you were going to attempt to insinuate he's a goon, right? Since that makes all his points null and void, because ~goon~.

You guys are trying too hard.
It's OK to roleplay the "evil" etc. but you never stop trying to farm hate and drama so you can put yourselves on the spotlight for the evil or prosecuted or both you pretend to be.

Once you go beyond credible efforts (at appearing whatever), then it sounds fake. Not good roleplay.

Ahaha, it's all fake. All fake ~~

You see, it's part of internal propaganda. Getting people to attack us makes it easier to get everyone to work together for the cause of the common goon. The perception of universal hatred is what ---pfffftt I can't keep this up.

Well.... we know what to do to get it locked since

Quote:
Ranting is prohibited

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.



means if its "well written and complete crap its all good."

Even if its gonna "incite flaming and trolling" amongst miners lol

This forum game is fun cause its so easy to troll goons.
"moar tears" they say

lol I say

--lol

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

It's not all fake, but you are trying too hard at attracting you this stuff.
It's also a bit nonesensical, I know several very nice GS peeps in game, they act like "regular" players. This constant "hate us" forum effort (and some other thread acting as sort of victims of some excessive hate against you) clashes with them.

LOL!!! Oh god please stop letting women mate with single cell organisms. This post made me cringe with every word, no fear nor agreement just cringingly creepy the way this dude thought he was original or relevant. The only way the OP makes any sense is if he thought "whats the best way to sound like a conceited pea brain and how to show it to the world".

LOL
