Hello,

I am a fairly casual Eve player for a few years now, and I just read about your amazing heist from "Titans 4 you". First of all let me say congratulations, just amazing stuff.

And secondly I would love to know a bit of the inside story; did you plan on creating the additional 600 shares or was that just serendipity?

Did you build all the Titans for Pandemic Legion?

Did you ever feel like "Oh, I don't know if I can do this!" Did your hands shake when you logged in and saw the new shares?

Do you still have the whole 1000 shares?

Did the game get boring after all was said and done? I mean what the heck could you do to top that!

Anyway, thanks for your time. And again great job!

Well because I thought the opportunity to salt up some old wounds might make for better material. And this way I not only get his signature, I get yours as well, and .02 ISK to boot!

..I 100% support this thread. I really like your motives: let's rub salt in EVERY MD wound!

In ANY other game, that heist would have been reported and rectified right away, and would be forgotten immediately. In Eve? The scam is highlighted, praised, and used as a method to bring new players to the game.

Kudos to you OP.

Not sure if Bad bobby still does autographs for scrub tier, The quick way to tell, id to send Bad bobby a picture of your(OP) neckbeard (he only signs neckbeards) along with a nice letter explaining why your new and Don't know the details.

If you are lucky he will use a red marker. (which means you are 3rd in line for next tier of course)

As Bad Bobby's 2nd alt in this thread, I can finally reveal the answers:
1. I planned it all.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. Each of those shares is worth 10m. Send ISK to this character.
5. I still need to get my standings up with the Gallente.

As a memento, I might be interested in some shares under the price in point 4 ... but Im sure there would be no hard feelings if I got a third party to hold the money ;)

I think I answered most of these questions in the original T4U thread, but I understand that reading through that behemoth isn't most people's idea of fun.

Corey Fumimasa wrote:

I didn't have any plan for scamming at the outset. The idea of creating extra shares came about because people started making a fuss in the T4U thread about the trustees all being AFK. The shareholders gave me the cover under which I could execute the heist and be blameless up until the point it was too late for anyone to stop me. Obviously having Cosmoray's shares as well as my own was a great help.

Corey Fumimasa wrote:

No. That's a lot of Titans and they came from diverse sources. I was involved in only a small number of them.

Corey Fumimasa wrote:

I was unsure about doing it. Only two other people knew about it before it happened. I talked it over with them and came to the decision that it was better to do it than regret the missed opportunity.

I seem to remember a lot of nervous moments during that week, so I think so.

I'm not sure. I'd have to go through my wallets to check. The corp was closed a long time ago.

Corey Fumimasa wrote:

Absolutely not.

While I don't have the drive to attempt a bigger MD scam, simply because of the amount of work it would take to do it, I still have plenty of other things I enjoy doing in EVE.

PvP always has been and will continue to be my main activity.

Having a lot of isk also gives you access to a level of market/industry activity that the average player doesn't really get to see. It's not like the isk closes doors and leaves you without things to do. I would need tens of trillions before I could even complete my current list of long term market/industry plans and that list will keep growing.

I think we both know I'm not.

I've tried to avoid excessive smugging, but still there is no way I can leave a thread like this looking good.

Vera is also very angry about CCP Screegs and his refusal to make private information available to the public.

Vera was also the first person to respond to this thread.

Are there any other data points?

I provided you with a pointer to a (private) channel that would give you good access to Bad Bobby?

(I also uncovered the Great "caffeinated beverage"-gimmick MD Conspiracy but I was a bit wasted at that point, so yeah....)

edit: I use different characters for different purposes. When I make a "serious business" post you'll see me posting as Mme Pinkerton, when my main matters I post on Florestan Bronstein and when I don't care to watch my mouth I post on Vera Algaert. In scc-lounge I usually hang out as Avensys and Goblinworks visitors might know me as Avensys or Caytii.
I don't attempt to hide my characters and generally assume people are aware of the links (and if not it's nbd, I'm not that special). But even when people know that Pinkerton and Vera are the same person the different characters can still be slightly different forum personas and their posts can convey a different weight and tone.

edit2: and I'm angry about CCP Sreegs because I dislike him (and have disliked his public persona even before he joined CCP), not because of anything he did or does.

edit3: I dislike modern CVA (and am biased against you) because imo most of CVA only use their RP as a cheap gimmick/convenient excuse and don't live by it (1PG being a notable exception). But I dislike FCON even more if that is any consolation.
