EVE General Discussion

Oh, I like that thing. The more lossmails the merrier.

I'm not feeling trolled yet guys, try harder thanks

why would they beg to be trolled more, those goons must be masochists

Yeah, like I said, the decbear alliances are literally more risk-averse than incursion bears. Trying to fight a bunch of station-hugging scrubs to protect a bunch of idiots who fly into hisec with in-alliance characters (everything that matters is done with neutral alts, fyi) is a waste of our time.

Please don't opine on anything that doesn't concern whatever single part of the game you've focused all of your attention on in years of playing (mining, perhaps?)

can you read

nothing of importance is hauled to hisec with an in-alliance character, the only ones who do that are idiots

but hey keep trying to be clever, you'll still be wrong ))

You guys are pretty cool. You haven't changed at all, which is awesome. :)

I use freighter alts all the time, because I'm not dumb.

So much whinning.

Burn Jita is an player event, like a pirate blockade or something.

You can rage at the forums or do something in game against the "bad people".

I bet that taking action in game is more fun than any e-pen war on a forum arguing about semantics and misterious edits in a post.

Anyway, have fun and dont let a videogame thats real get too real.

In my profound ignorance I feel burn Jita is primarily a cultural event. It also has to do with the demands of leadership.

Consider the proposition that we cannot control or thoughts, feelings or physical existence in anyway near the manner we imagine. This can easily be self tested by attempting to stop thinking for even a few moments. Attmeot to go a day without rationalization. If true, where do we the have volitional freedom? We can direct our attention, which in turn effects thought, affect and somatic reality, though not in a mechanistic way. When done actively this is in part what is meant by paradigm shift.

What this implies is that the primary responsibility of a leader is the management of attention. Consider the case where an organization has come up with some brilliant strategy or vision. How long between the creation of that and the moment when it is fully displaced in the attention and so action of the organization by the pressing demands of operational realities associated with the current condition. Usually this is a matter of days, if not hours.

A CEO must manage the attention, or have means to do so, both internally and externally. Burn Jita accomplishes this for the Goons. It gives goon pilots something to do and builds organizational unity, provides internal reward and positive feedback? It turns the attention of the community toward the presence of goons, as this thread, live feeds, active participation, etc. all demonstrate. Even actively noticing and then ignoring it is deemed a success. Lack of awareness all together is not.

I believe the rhetorical statement of intent is something to the effect of 'we will remind them who the f*** we are."

Considering what he changed it to is just a different way of saying he uses freighter alts, the verdict is pretty clear: you can't read proficiently.
