Yea its not all fake, some of them work for CCP and are actually intent on killing "your" game 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.

Two things to the OP;

1. That wasn't a manifesto, it was a screed.

2. At some point today, go outside. Leave the house!

(it makes as much sense as anything else in this thread).

good grief...

"Don't listen to experiance.. listen to my GIANT wall of text!" Shocked

The bottom line is all the reasons you have ever heard for gankers a-ganking are valid somewhere in the game.

It's a game; they are playing to have fun.. not everyones idea of fun is the same.

PS don't take the time to read the tripe upstairs.. you'll go mad or blind ...or both..

Guys it's just a troll, propably some goon alt, imitating psychopaths like breivik for maximum controversy.

Move on, nothing to see here.

There is some debate about precisely what he taught. The Sheikh famously said, "The most excellent jihad is that for the conquest of self." Interpreted in the light of its fuller context and modern scholarship, the best reading of this quote is that "everyone must kill the highsec miner wherever they find him."

Would read again for gems like this.

Great idea for miners: vote with your wallet. If anything this summer showed, see what they do not what they say was in full effect and when ppl started leaving, ccp started giving a ****. till then they wont.

Mining is the "Deadliest Catch" in this game

I don't think any reasonable person would dare think that James315 is the least bit self involved, narcissistic and self righteously elitist at all after reading his.... manifesto

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.


Read it, I would question if he understands why high sec miners cannot defend themselves due to the limits of Concord. On that basis alone, the large portion of the rant/wall of text is essentially a moot series of points.

Entertaining? Sure... :)

Here's what I get out of the OP's long winded diatribe. I don't like and/or approve of what you are doing, so I am going to force you to change it. Just like any other behavior controlist out there, that's the bottom line.

Kind of reminds me of another infamous behavior control freak, Stalin.

Printed out the OPs initial screed so I could read it and take notes.
Decide within the first few moments that was a mistake and the paper should be put to better use at the bottom of my bird's cage.

Nothing clever at this time.

I like it...

I have a mining toon and when I log in with this toon, I'm in the mood to something mindless. I let my eyes unfocus (cause mining makes my eyse bleed) and I try to be as automated as I can. I do it till my brain melts and then I start looking for miners I would like to suicide gank. LOL

That's when I log in my PvP toon and I go to take out a little pent up aggression. Personally... I wouldn't mind hooking up with someone that I could work in pair with in .8 space or higher. I haven't succesfully solo ganked there yet.
