Pentaboxing missions and greedygoblin's bet

Today Mr Greedygoblin posted this blog http://greedygoblin.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/sisters-marauder.html about how to dualbox the same level 4 mission in highsec with a failfit kronos cap chaining with a guardian. He followed it with a bunch of nonsense about how 2k/lp is the highest value LP in the game, that suicide gankers are keeping the LP valuable, that blitzing hasn't been possible since the AI changes, that looting and salvaging are good isk and that the kronos is the perfect ship for doing this.

Myself and numerous other people attempted to explain to him what he was doing wrong and in part of the exchange I mentioned that you can actually do missions with one toon per mission and you can multibox them without the use of any multiboxing software. He called me a liar, a troll and an idiot. I explained how I did it and again he called me a troll and said it was literally impossible.

At this point I offered to fraps myself doing it if he would put his money where his mouth is and bet me that I couldn't blitz 5 missions at once by alt tabbing on one screen. Chribba holds the isk, any amount he chooses from 50b to 500b. Rather than take the isk if it was, as he claimed, impossible he deleted my post from his blog, deleted all his posts and removed any evidence that his way of doing it might not be optimal.

I find this pathetic for two reasons. The fact that he refused to take the bet and the free 500b isk I had offered him if it was impossible proves that he doesn't actually have the courage of his convictions. He doesn't believe that the advice he offers people is actually anywhere near as good as he claims, despite his constant claims to be better, smarter, more innovative than the pack, when offered 500b for being right he didn't think he was right. Now that can be excused, not everyone knows every trick every time, even if you are as narcissistic as greedygoblin you could open your mind to the potential of some kind of exploit you're unaware of and not want to risk the isk. But rather than say "okay, maybe you know something I don't, I won't take the bet because it's a lot of isk and there might actually be something to what you're saying" he deleted all his posts responding to me and all of my posts. He has so little self respect that after refusing to put his money where his mouth is and admitting that he doesn't genuinely believe in his ideas he resorts to pretending none of it ever happened. Someone who actually respected themselves would go "okay, teach me" and learn more and be less of a moron for it. But this is greedygoblin we're talking about and he is happy with admitting privately to me that he was an idiot as long as the public don't know, he's happy being bad as long as he can still claim to be good, he's a hypocrite, a coward, an idiot and pathetic.

Greedy, when you read this, the bet is still available. Contact me if you accept. The terms, I will place any number you like, 50b to 500b with Chribba for you to match. Within one week following Chribba's confirmation of the isk I will pentabox blitzing ships and fraps it for a minimum of one hour and post the fraps.

To anyone not goblin, sorry for forcing you to read this. On the bright side you could get a ridiculously good blitzing guide out of this if he accepts and I'll get a fair chunk of isk. I don't think he will but for 500b I thought it was worth typing for 10 minutes.

You should vote for KwarK for a lowsec presence on CSM8. It's a good idea. I'd do it! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=213851

And if a moron who claimed he had a bunch of isk told you that something relatively simple for you was impossible would you not immediately go "wanna bet?"?

I thought everyone already knew that Gevlon Goblin was actually pretty bad at making isk? I doubt you will be successful in communicating his terribleness to him, and I wouldn't be that surprised if he doesn't actually have 50bn liquid to take your bet anyway.

I don't know what's worth, arguing with an autist, or Pentaboxing mission runners.

I don't do it, I don't undock for the measly bil and a half an hour it pays. But I have the capacity to do it and that's what counts.

I don't understand why it would surprise anyone that you could do that. The only "trick" to doing it is flipping between screens fast enough to start shooting the next target.

Blitzing has been limited by changes to several missions. In fact, some of the EVE survival mission descriptions are no longer accurate.

i was thinking the same, 1100 dps with 16km optimal shooting 45km...

The fit is just awful, with 3 sentries and t2 rails, and a local tank, you would be the same applied dps at much longer range, and you would not need to dual box to survive.

Someone with half a brain would dual missions in two domi's and make more isk at a faction of the price of that kronos, i love the kronos but dual boxing with logi and blasters is just ********.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Any chance that goblin is just trolling you?

Let me see if I understand the failcascade here:

1. You're reading GreedyGoblin's blog
2. You're trying to argue with him
3. After trying to argue with him and obviously failing, you come here and post a challenge we all know he won't have the guts to accept.

Did I miss anything? :)

+1 to this. No one cares if you feel bad that you lost an argument to Gev, or your feelings are hurt. Just give me your stuff and be done with it.
