I have personally rented from him 2 different times, both times where nothing short of outstanding.

The BPO"S are very profitable, he never took anything of mine, and even did a few other deals with him to benifit both of us.

If he took your stuff, you screwed up, not him. Your 22bil in stuff is petty change to what he does on a daily basis.

The renter had no reason/right to take anything that was not part of the agreement in first place, no matter if he (slightly) broke it or not.
Not like evil toy had a reputation that could have been destroyed, he had no Forum history at all before this happaned, so the Argument -Reputation > Isk- has literally no weight here. 22b are well worth burning some random alt


Maybe your search skills are lacking. As Evil Toy has been renting t2 bpos for many many years.

  1. This wasnt a scam
  2. This was evil's toy stealing my stuff
  3. His reason was I left EVE and let a POS run out of fuel
  4. POS never was shot at
  5. POS only had my items in it
  6. My rent was pre-paid
  7. Truth is I couldnt log into EVE for 5 days because of work
  8. I tried/begged to make it right, even offering more ISK in the billions
  9. Evil refused and eventually just ignored me
  10. Rent with him at your own risk
  11. I posted on his thread just like I would post on chribba's thread when he does a great job as a third party
  12. Reputation goes both ways, good or bad


There is this beautiful website called eve gate. It lets you send mails while out of game. There are also these applications for your phone which let you read mails and get notifications. You keep looking at this as a theft, so lets look at what happened.

You went awal and failed to do your job in EvE, this was to fuel the POS, many alliances if your POS gives notifications will just pull it, it is a common practice from those who have run POSs because the notification spam is a *****. Your contract stated you must fuel the POS, you did not do this. Because of this everything at the tower was pulled back into the corp.

According to the agreement you signed there is nothing about what happens when you breach the contract. The simple fact is according to the contract you signed if you breach the contract you lose what you were given access to, which the easiest way to do in EvE is remove you from the corp.

The simple fact here is you screw up, and while yes evil could have been nice and given you back the 22B, there is nothing in the contract which says he will, there is nothing which says what will happen if you break the contract. The services he provided, aka the alt corp, were removed and the assets left on the corp were seized.

While yes it isn't how I would have handled the situation, and the contract he posted for renting isn't what I would have posted. He was not in breach of the contract by doing what he did and it was valid.

logical fail...

it has nothing to do with beeing nice to not steal what doesnt belong to you. Im sure there was also never anything mentioned that toy can keep everything what Gabba would put in the corp hangar if the contract fails.

protip:
Eve is not exactly the most important thing in the world...so staying away for 7 days shouldnt be considered as a crime and anyone who does the real live thing every once and a while, or even ha a job can easily understand this situation where you simply can`t reply.

This splits into the legal and moral aspect.

In the legal sense evil has not done anything wrong. The contract stipulated that you keep the POS fuelled. The moment it ran out of fuel. Your contract was void and he was well within his rights to eject you and your things from the POS and Corp.

As for your things that where in someone else's POS. In my opinion he should have returned them to you but he is not required to do so and nor has he broken your agreement by keeping them.

I still think evil could have handled this better and that future contracts should clearly stipulate that in case the contract does go void then the content of the POS and station befall the renter.


Outside of all of this. Evil should also be compensated for the remainder of the contract date since he will lose isk in the time it takes to find a new client. I could understand if he took this loss out of your belongings found at the POS and returned the rest to you.

Evil have acted within his rights but he did show weakness of character by taking the clients belongings with the only motivation "that he could"


It's like if a super cap manufacture sells a Nyx to a client. Then right after isk has changed hands they call in a fleet to destroy the nyx. Yes they did everything in accordance with the agreed to contract but their conduct could still be called into question.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

If his possessions were returned, less liquidated damages, then this would be seen as a contract dispute.

Since no possessions were returned at all, this appears to be 100% scam.

The thing is Evil does not even need to do this to make isk, he could easily build from the bpo's himself, however from how i see it Evil is doing this renting service to provide a service towards those who don't have access to these bpo's and thus offers this rental package.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on how this is ending up, some may see it as Evil being a scammer or thief or whatever you want to call it, others may see it as a just action on Evils part and there are also those sit on the fence. personally I feel this will affect both Evil and Gabba's reputation.

Evil for what you can see from peoples posts
Gabba with his disposable alts on a multi-posting witch hunt. its a shame Captain-Jean LucPicard was deleted, I'm sure i'm not the only person to notice this either.

Actually, no, the contract did NOT stipulate that.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2168023 <--- terms of the contract:

"-the pos fueling is all up to the winner"

There is absolutely nothing mentioned about 'if the pos goes offline or runs out of fuel, the contract is invalidated'. The LATEST offering specifies that, the one in which Gabba was the winning contractor of, did not state that. Thus, evil was the one who broke/violated the contract, not Gabba. But please, feel free to point out where I have erred in this statement?

I don't see this as a scam but I do see that it's bad for business. I think if you're going to terminate an arragement like this that you do it above board and with class. Kind of sounds like a dickheaded move was made. But who knows, maybe the victim is a douche and deserved it. Lol
