I had an idea. My idea was to go to Jita, buy a few thousand fireworks, and unleash happiness over all of New Eden.

Some people in my alliance actually liked this, and one person gave me 50 mil to buy fireworks for him.

I took my iteron and did so.

With the money I had leftover, I bought some fireworks for myself. With those fireworks, I fitted a drake with about 4 festival launchers and "happy ganked" people with my fireworks.

My current plan is to do a suicide run in a frigate all the way to somewhere like Fountain, show up in a giant fleet battle, and launch fireworks everywhere at everyone. however, getting there will be hard. Cheap frigates aren't exactly the best thing for nullsec.

Stopped reading right there.

No good idea has ever started with GO TO JITA.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

There are a few potential glitches with the plan, but before they are so tactfully pointed out, thanks for "happy ganking" and making EVE a brighter, more colorful place. Big smile

Just don't read the local chat in Fountain while you are there. You will never be the same again :D

Hell, if my plan works, people could make entire events like burn jita, but instead of ganking freighters, people just shoot craploads of fireworks at them!

Then we kill them!

Probably not, but a guy can dream.

Exactly what I was thinking...

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

A bomber and cloak is what.... 35 mil isk. It can fit 3 launchers... I doubt getting to fountain is that hard. Honestly, I snuck into fountain last night. I used a bomber and simply came up.from delve region. I'm betting you could go:

Efa in khanid kingdom to 3-f in Querious. Querious to delve, delve to fountain.

COUNT SHUT YOUR MOUTH THIS IS A GOOD IDEA

if a goon fleet of 100+ caracals did this against a legit N3 fleet there's a distinct possibility that N3 might just go home. GOONS THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.

i make spreadsheets for pretty cheap. contact me for more info.

Burn Jita wasnt a good idea, it was a necessity.
