The ISK would look lovely on the pile with the rest of my ISK. Please give it to me.

Guess all that anger management training sort of failed with this onset of maximum *****. Oh well.

As for grandiose, you're a fine ******* one to talk. If you thought that way, you wouldn't have even responded. But know, you gotta stroke your own ego and position yourself as some lofty individual. And then you top it all off with a nice typical jab to baseliner "commoners" to finish?

Seriously, **** off.



Responding to an insult given publicly is ego-stroking? I think you misunderstand the so-called 'baseliner jab' too - look twice. I think that your personal dislike of me is clouding your vision.

As for my 'anger'; I'm perfectly fine. I act only purposefully. I'm getting help from somebody.

When censorship asterisks punctuate every paragraph of your post, it's time to sit back and do something else for a while.

Ah, Oniseki, when I saw that you had uploaded something, it got my hopes up. Sadly, you were merely commenting on another person's upload. However, since it was to point out their failings, I am only half as much disappointed as I would be.

100mil can't buy much in the way of ships or modules, but it can be used to create a lot of hilarity.

I promise that if I am given the money, I will spend it entirely on Cynosural Field Generators, Liquid Ozone, and Bantams. I will follow cruiser gangs in lowsec for long enough to make them suspicious and then, when they are aggressed on a gate, I will land in the middle of them, light a cyno and type "SURPRISE TITAN BRIDGE!" in local. My ship will only last a few seconds, but in that time they will poop themselves and then realise that it was all for no reason.

That panic will be because of your 100 million ISK. That chaos will be your gift.

That is why you should give me the money.

Ten million to the first person that explains why "I think that I should get the one hundred million ISK because . . .(insert reason here)" is a poorly written opening line.
It does not matter what I think, what matters is what you think.

You think you should give me the grant because none of the contenders can come up with an adequate reason why they should get it, and I will return the grant to you so you can find a better way to spend the money. As a bonus, you'll learn that you can trust me to some extend.

I'm going to give a hint here, since everyone so far has been wrong. The line is written poorly. Why?

Wordliness: "one hundred million ISK" could be replaced with "grant".

I don't want the money, nor do I believe anyone would deserve it for posting here. If you are so full of it, give it to something meaningful, instead of wasting it on pod pilots who have no problem in gaining it. Afterall, pilots should earn what they get with their means, and this is no honest way of earning such an amount. Yes, I know, I got a stick up my arse and all that, I get it.

As for why the phrase is wrong, out of interest on the subject, I would say it is wrong because of a double subjectivity: "I should get" is clearly a personal opinion, and "I think" is the same, thus both phrases put together are redundant.

Thank you. The Amarr gave me a good education, I guess.

Ma'am, I think that you have no intention of paying anyone anything.

You should give me the ISK in compensation for boredom when people bought off my war with you, that way I can invest in a dozen of the new destroyers, and maybe a dinner for two, just you and I.

No. Dibble's a jackass. You should give me that ISK because I'll spend it on fashion statements. And perfume.

I've scammed people before. Usually they involve me walking away with a lot of ISK and ships. If you can see a way that I will make ISK off this, please point it out.

You should give me 100 million ISK because with it I will attempt to accomplish my life-long dream of becoming a booster manufacturer!
