BURN JITA 2.0: APRIL 19-21ST 2013

There are few things that we of nullsec can agree upon, but one of them is, inevitably, '**** hisec'. We will now wash away the frustrations of March's cold war by covering ourselves in the blood and suffering of the people of hisec, the weekend before Fanfest begins - just in time to remind these people who the **** we are. As before, we will invite every null entity which wants to participate in our holy cause.

Last year there was a tremendous amount of publicity about Burn Jita, leading to a whole host of hisec movements and wardecs to counter our efforts. This year we will not be making public statements about the Burn or actively trying to advertise it. Yes, we are giving approximately 19 days of notice with this post, as well as coordinating across the CFC and the HBC if they want to participate, but the blind sleeping masses of hisec will not realize something is coming until it is too late. I am eager to see what happens to hisec if we show up without three months of wardrum-beating and hype, unannounced, and commence putting everything to the sword.

The first Burn taught us a lot. We know Jita has a population cap; we know there are only so many routes into the system which are traffic controlled. We know as well that goons in Jita enjoyed not only taking out freighters, but spreading the carnage by using thrashers to take out industrials of random passers-by. A Burn is fundamentally a terror operation; it is not so much about the isk value of each freighter destroyed as it is implanting fear into the hearts and minds of even the most humble industrialist in his Badger II. This year we will be not only ganking freighters and industrials within Jita, but Miniluv will patrol the lanes outside of Jita to destroy anyone trapped on the gates from traffic control. The number of humans involved means that it will still be a complete mess, but we expect our terror-sowing to be much more efficient than last year.

There's 3 pages of article so it may not be an April Fool's joke. Or maybe it is. Or maybe the joke is to pretend that it is a joke. Question

We could explain the joke to you, but that would ruin it.

The only way to be sure is to fill a freighter with capital ship BPOs and go to Jita on the 19th. Lol

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

So if it happens, it will in effect, be a 'burn Jita crowd' versus Concord.

Nice to see null-sec folk taking part in the pve they profess to despise so much.

This will be interesting if it's not a hoax.

I'm all for pushing the envelope with CCP, as they made this bed and have to sleep with the fleas...and all the diseases they bring!

But 3 days isn't enough to push the envelope far. Folks will just escape to Minecraft, et. al. until it's over.

Has to be another Hulk excursion and lasting that long...and even the Goons won't do that (got to make isk and can't do that if Jita is shut down for long -- the other trade hubs aren't a substitute, most players are Caldari and industry is wrapped up around it).

Wishful thinking.

I think it might actually leave only the spam bots in Jita, and everyone else would disperse into the other trade hubs.

Guess this makes it no rumour any longer when The Mittani says it.

He could have just kept it quiet and reported every thread on the topic for rumour mongering...

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Or he is trolling EVE by joining in with the rumour mongering.

Ummm...99% of what most people do in nullsec is PVE. It's not for nothing we call them "nullbears".

And a burn Jita event isn't a PVE nullbears vs. CONCORD event, it's a Goons&friends vs. every stupid jackoff who flies a hauler in Jita event, CONCORD is just a mechanic to work around.

Actually, only uninformed idiots/trolls use the term "nullbear".

you're literally responding to opinions on nullsec from a hiseccer who has not and never will leave concord's loving embrace

hope this helps!

Just ignore the simple fact that ~most~ CFC members have been told to grind up their sec status by said date...

i thought everyone in nullsec has 5.0 sec status because they only PvE according to nullsec experts residing exclusively in hisec
