I am delighted to announce that Goonswarm Federation will be increasing its support to the broader EVE community - to any player, not just those in our alliance, even those who are hostile to us - by continuing our sponsorship of the "Hulkageddon" player event indefinitely.

Hulkageddon V has been the most successful in history, partially because of our sponsorship subsidizing independent participants at even the most casual level. This has brought the community together as never before - and we're going to keep giving back to the community even though the official contest has ended!

We will continue running our automated killboard system, and - just as during the event - for every block of 10 exhumers you destroy, Goonswarm Federation will send you 100m isk. You don't even have to do anything to apply for the isk, it's entirely automated, allowing you to focus completely on ganking - our effort-free gift to those brave players who make EVE unique and interesting.

If you somehow missed Hulkageddon and would like to consider exhumer ganking as a profession, check out the 'Getting Started' tutorial here. Even casual ganking can rack up 10 kills in a day!

So here's to you, Hulkageddon participants! You keep making this wonderful game great, and we'll foot the bill - this one's on us!

Goons sure know how to make a game fun!

NORKdot is selling mining barge protection.

Forward 150m ISK per character to Richter Enderas ingame with the reason "Hulkageddon Insurance" and the type of barge you're flying.

Don't worry, your AFK hulks are safe in our hands. Our juche space police will interdict the evil goonies before they strike.

EDIT: This also extends to orcas!

I do not like the men on this spaceship. They are uncouth and fail to appreciate my better qualities. I have something of value to contribute to this mission if only they would realize it. - Bill Frug

Hey Miners, look at the bright side! This means there'll be no Hulkageddon 6 for a while Twisted

MINERS WILL RISE UP AND RORQUALS WILL CLAIM VFK FOR THEIR OWN.

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

As a rough (and conservative) estimate, I'd say that for every 100M they have to pay out, they earn 600M.

Luckily we're a part of OTEC.

Gallente born and raised, and tutored as a pleasure slave and courtesan to the exotic tastes of the Amarri court. Jade's career veered violently off course when a diplomatic envoy's transport was blown to pieces in mysterious circumstances and she was rescued from the escape pods by the enigmatic genetic mastermind Athule Snanm.
