On a dark space highway, cool goo on my skin
Warm sense of fluid, rising up through my nose
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop to get ganked
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the hull bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"I could be tanked or I could be ganked"
Then she lit up her blasters and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Arcade New Eden
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Arcade New Eden
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Gallente-twisted, she got the Catalyst bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they fly through the ice belt, sweet summer sweat.
Some fly to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
"Please bring me my Void"
He said, "We haven't had that ammo here since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Arcade New Eden
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Arcade New Eden
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Skiffs on the ceiling,
The blue lasers on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They shoot it with their firey guns,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the gate
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the Soundwave,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can log-out any time you like,
But you can never quit!"

You frign kids kill me. Do you not understand the word figurative? The number doesnt matter. 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29.30... and all the way to what ever number you would like to think.

The POINT BEING.... yes you should tank your barge but should it be a good organised group out to get you and they dont care about profit then it will not matter how you are tanked they will STILL kill you because you are only tanked not invunerable.

Your statement wasn't figurative, figurative implies the use of a metaphor or figure of speech such as "Mittens is the head of goonswarm" or "like a hot brick". What you did was just chuck a inflated random number at a statement and call it it figurative.

Yes people should tank their barges, and yes even a well tanked barge will die to enough ships, what you failed to mention was that there are so many untanked barges out there, the tanked ones will probably be passed over, until the gankers run out of easier targets. Unless of course you're flying it, in which case suiciding a swarm of destroyers would be totally worth it.

Goonswarm itself has a figurative/ diminutive name, "little bees"

I am always glad when someone tells me what my own words mean. The number was thrown out there wasn’t meant to be a specific number but as a arbitray number. It could have just as easily been 50 60 80 or 100.

You forum trolls always want to argue Symantec’s. Please carry on.

And thus, as arbitrary, pointless? I mean, you're basically telling me that you just made it up on the spot, and that it has no meaning as such.

So what was your point crying so hard about it in the first place? What are you even trying to say?

do you feel this is some special, rare insight into eve's meta gifted unto the few by the divine

Yes...yes I did. For some reason certain people have a role playing mentality when it comes to miners or indies. Like a us against them thing. I find this amusing. They make statements like ALL miners never tank ALL miners are care bears. They use all encompassing statements like NEVER, ALWAYS, EVERY, ALL….etc.

Eve is huge and full off exceptions. Those people that would have you believe these players are all under one umbrella and should be hated lack maturity and intelligence. Just because you take out 5 non tanked miners doesn’t mean all miners are not tanked, and those same miners may be a null sec player or goonie even.

Try not to be so narrow minded. I realize this is just a game, maybe some people should stop and consider that and leave your epeen and your forum trolling credentials in your parents basement.

So save the drama for your mamma’s

Here is a perfect example. Just because you killed 5 miners all un-tanked your limited mind has to belive that all miners dont fit tank?

Congrats btw on your superior pvp skills at killing someone not fitted or trained for pvp well done. ( golf clap )

I didn't say 5. I said "every miner I have ever killed". That number is considerably more than 5 in my case.

Thanks! I've always been proud of my stalking and hunting skills. Sneaking into the system under the guns of Concord, stalking my (un)wary prey, and waiting til the precise moment to pounce!

Also, I don't consider it leet to kill miners. I do consider it fun however.

Or was it your intent to suggest that they should be immune to my attacks because they have made the conscious choice not to defend themselves?

I am not here to teach you reading comprehension. Go back and read what was written and try to decipher for yourself. My main point was some people here want to act like all miners don’t tank and all are care bears. They are not all care bears and plenty do tank. The other point was it doesn’t matter what you tank or how you fit if they want to kill you they will.

Your problem like many forum trolls is you want to get hung up on arguing over stupid little things like spelling gramer and numbers. Thats how and why you always seem to miss the point.

This isnt grad school. Its a forum for a game.

I can and will admit I did not catch the auto correction of the word. Should this be the worse or only mistake I make irl or game I will consider myself fortunate. The point remains the same regardless of the typo.

Yup yup yup. When a bumbler like me can gank successfully, you *know* they're asleep at the switch.

Makes for more and better marketing opportunities for myself and not them. They are the lazy ones with no honor for their own profession at all.

On those rare occasions when I dust off my mining alt, I don't tank. Deliberately. The cost of replacement hulls is considered in the profit-loss calculation - cheaper fits mean less loss, more profit. Of course, I almost never get ganked whilst mining, either, because I'm not asleep at the switch.

Let me say that again:

"Not asleep at the switch."

THAT^^ is your number-one defense against being ganked - alert, aware of who is in local (and what their KB says about them!), moving at all times with turn points and multiple safes in all directions, and checking intelligence. THAT is how you mine without getting bored OR ganked - by being engaged, and continually checking the surroundings.

I'll grant that it's work, but who's afraid of a little work, eh?
