Crime & Punishment

So 500m is too expensive, but from reading some of the OP's follow up posts she expects a 5+ group to camp a corp into their staging system for the week. Since you can mine Scordite (or whatever the ore de jure is) for 20mil an hour we'll call that the baseline for isk. Assuming the avg merc doesn't mind making what a miner does, that 500m buys 25 hours of "war time". Of course, if all 5 of our mercs are on the case, then that only results in 5 hours of camping your war targets in system. That's like dinner and a movie, then the corp is free to do what it wants for the rest of the week. To camp them in for one TZ you would need 800m for each merc. So 4bil for a weeks worth of war.

This is why merc corps mostly camp trade hubs and trade routes. Because they can take a bunch of contracts and everyone has to sell/buy stuff, so the targets come to you. They don't have to dedicate 5 guys to camping corp A in. They can have 5 guys on a gate making sure corp A-Zs ships get exploded when they want to take their loot to Jita.

To get more than that out of a merc corp try doing some of the work yourself. Not the pew-pew, oh no that would be too messy. But run down where they are, what they fly, and what times they are likely to be on. Pass the deets onto your mercs and they will be far more likely to hunt them down and splode your foes.

Well, seems like marmite cleared out of amarr atleast?

Oh.. yeah that loki was giftwrapped and a bad start on the last war. Unfortunately for us one of our members did a "suicide by marmite" for some reason.

But lets see how the war ends :)

PS: We had a similar incident the last time aswell.. a numbskull (now a former devil) that found it wise to carebear while at war, but that did'nt change the fact that we won that time.

I charge 500mil because I don't want to lift a finger for anybody else besides myself. I need to be motivated to do something for somebody else.

The best results for the client is to do the PPK (Pay Per Kill) and Dec Cost contract, paying outright usually results in no results. If the mercs want to get paid they need to kill, show results. How is works is prices are determined by what the ship is (example: 10mil for frig, 25mil for cruiser, 40mil for battlecruiser... ect). When I was IA its how we did it, we had contracts all the time, made isk not a whole lot but it was fun get paid pvp.

Some groups charge only the war dec cost.... who might these be? They might help you pursue your happiness

I'd come to uedama and say hello to you tora if we decced you.

If everyone in your corp has a free slot, just make Catalyst alts and gank them repeatedly. Save your money (if you aren't going to shell out for a group that is sure to get some kills).

edit: if you don't have the alts just give each other 21 day trial accounts and do it that way.

That's actually against the ToS or EULA to make throw away accounts. :P

See, what most peeps do not see is that in a gang of 30 windowlickers, 3 of them actually were fast enough to whore the mail.

But the Kill Boards do not show that, and most people are oblivious.

They must reaping the pods in space, no idea why other mercs be so greedy, kill +spaceship loot =fun, and monies
