Also, have you convoed James 315 or even better, posted on the Minerbumping forums?

You have a much better chance of getting a NO response by posting the info there than here.


NO reps did respond in this thread... one said he couldn't be bothered to do it because it would be too much trouble.. another flat out said he'd rather "heroically defend" the non compliant multi boxer.

CCP seems not to notice the problem.
Bot armada has Fenrir freighter ploted by Luckysentry and is protected by a Stabber cruiser piloted by Matthew Decker.

Since problem is ignored, I am offering to pitch in 40 mil isk to a group of mercenaries to get rid of that insolent greedy problem, bunch of other Osmon miners are also willing to contribute financially.

Name of the game is attrition, freighters are very expensive to replace, once you kill enough of them, that insolent exploiter will leave Osmon for good.

Man up and protect your own territories instead of coming to C&P and asking the people that already hate, and actively gank miners to do your wetwork for you.

While we do what we do out of conviction, we never hide the fact that the New Order is a business and like everyone else in New Eden we try to make ISK. The shareholder money you mentioned previously is used for our daily business and can not be misused for such requests. This operation has to be self sustained. I can and will not use my own assets to help another non-compliant miner, I hope that is clear.

Also where is your contribution? How can you demand I take action while you yourself probably do nothing? Contribute your time, ships or fund our effort with ISK. Or help the OP out yourself by beating my offer. Otherwise I would request you to be silent and let me do my work.

so if the OP is a compliant miner you would make more of an effort to help? like your own time and assets?

The irony is that it's greed that's at the very root of your own post. You can cry that it's unfair and that this multiboxer is "harming the community" all you want, but you've made it very clear through your comments that the main problem you have with this guy is that you are getting less ice because of his presence.

And now look, you're trying to hire people to screw him over, destroy his assets and ruin his gameplay in order to further your own greed! You haven't just fallen down that slippery slope, you've taken a running jump off it!

I am not lying. I explained it to you time and again, without that bot puppet master I and others always were able to get several 4 or more full loads of ice cubes per three belt ice spawn (Osmon gets three belts at the same time normally). Now with that bot armada I and others barely manage to get one and a half loads of ice per three belt ice spawn, very lucky if I manage two full loads. That guy sucks everything up, so do your math again.
do my math again? how about you just stop lying. my maths is spot on. i'm the guy that pointed out the error in the dev blog when they released the mining barge changes. that's how correct my maths is. when you lie about these things, i will call you out on it. it takes 30 procurers with orca boosts over 40 mins to clear 1 ice anomaly so telling me he's clearing all 3 in under 1 hour is complete fantasy and you know it.
feel free to show me the maths that proves you can clear 7500 units of ice in under 60 mins with 30 procurers. be a man, accept the challenge.

Ice mining fields just need to be contestual making the fight over them much easier and hitting to stop.... Would also make much more PvP sense less jihad gank more fight.

Tell you what ~EOL will take care of the procurers for a sum of 750 mil 400 upfront to offset the cost of gank ships and the remainder when we provide you with Kms

also if you are having trouble gathering the isk yourself i can setup a payment system if you have others contributing

EDIT: Also we will throw in the freighter kill for another 100 mil (to be paid with initial deposit)

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

We have that already, it's called lowsec. Of course, putting PvE ships in an open shooting environment tends not to end well for them...

Disjointed comments:

The New Order is not anyone's beck-and-callgirl for ganks. The NO is populated by pilots with a common cause, but without any format for a CTA. We go where we want and enforce the Code when we see fit. Sometimes we gather in number to smite large targets, and sometimes we act in small groups or alone. The good news is that we are the most welcoming organization in New Eden. Feel free to join up and organize any fleet you like for smiting the bots and bot-aspirants.

If the Proc miner is botting, then reporting them is all you can do. I think isboxer is a scourge on Eve, but CCP feels different. He is probably not botting, but instead using isboxer. If that is the case then where the OP thinks of him as one player "stealing" all the ice, in fact it is 30 players acting in coordination as a fleet to accomplish the task. That it is isboxer taints the whole thing, but Eve is all about finding friends and doing things with them; even if those friends are 30 of your own alts.

The reason the guy is using Procurers is because they have ridiculous amounts of hp and cost almost nothing. It is a wonder to me that CEO's tell their newbros to get into a Retriever as soon as they can. As gankers, just about no one wants to spend 40mil in catalysts (and have 4 pilots) to gank a properly tanked 10mil Procurer. As a New Order representative, I would not be so lavish with the investors isk. If the Procurers are in a fleet, the Orca would probably scoop enough modules from the Catalysts to pay for the Procurer. I'm sure Dave Stark will correct my math on that if I'm wrong.

In short: New Order recruitment is always open, isboxer sucks, ganking Procurers sucks. If you want not to be ganked and not pay the New Order's 10mil license fee its easy: fly a Procurer. You won't do it because of isk/hr. Not our fault.

I've never been a fine of the NO. I always reject offers from mining groups to pay me to keep them from ganking them. Miner bumping is pathetic imo.

However, I would be willing to throw in with NO members, miner alts, or whomever to try and take down the Osmon operation. I probably could convince my two confederates to join me as well (although one is still early in his training, he is coming along nicely).

Procurers are tough. I admit that I leave them alone. Part of the reason of course is that they are expensive to gank, but the more important part is that Procurer pilots have already made an intelligent and informed decision to fly something not easily ganked. Often they have come to this conclusion after I have ganked them once or twice in their Ret or Mack.

Still, a large Cat fleet attacking a bunch of procurers does sound kind of fun.

Another question, it has been my experience that they often will have an Orca boosting off grid somewhere. Find the Orca and gank it.

I don't think anyone is really expecting you or anyone else to destroy the whole fleet in one go. everyone knows procs are tough to kill compared to the price of replacing them. but what about that freighter? big, lumbering, juicy target filling itself with goodies. I would think if he lost a couple of them (as the OP said) would put a serious hurt on his wallet.
are you saying that the NO, who pride themselves on and brag about their ability to coordinate a fleet of nega-tens in highsec and wipe out any target, while avoiding facpo and all that, and do it well.. will not even make an attempt at this bot aspirant..
I mean he's sitting there waving his man bits in your faces and all you do is make up excuses for your lack of action and unwillingness to back up the CODE.
it's like you're protecting him lol

isn't this one of the very core reasons for the NO's creation?
isn't this what your donators and shareholders expect of you.

along with being laughed at and mocked everywhere you go you have a guy sitting there (who NO representatives themselves say is NON COMPLIANT) doing "unlawful", CODE breaking activities.

damn.. half of your intel is done for you.. you know who, what and how many.. and you have the backing of an organization with (according to last report) 187 BILLION isk in shares sold, untold amounts of cats, nados and all sorts of gank ships stockpiled all throughout highsec. and yet you do nothing lol

and there he is.. hands on hips shlong slapping you in the face and you sit there taking it

In short: either you enjoy it or that single dude in the untanked retriever is a much more menacing threat.

which is it?

I'm not sure if you've all looked at the perspective correctly.

OP; Did the ice fields recycle fast enough to respawn at least 3 times per day before the said multi-boxer arrived to claim the ice?

If the anwer is "NO", then you're looking at this from the wrong point of view, all he's doing is making sure the ice belts recycle as fast as possible.
If the answer is "YES", then I don't see how he can get all that ice by himself, if there was enough ice miners before that.

The screenshot someone posted only had about 6 retrievers in the same icebelt as the procurer fleet, if it was such a compeition and screwing other people out of their hard earned ISK; that particular Ice field would have twice the number of barges in it.

Then again, you always have an option to move somplace else. Like nullsec.

That single dude in an untanked retriever is a lot easier to gank and extort for "permit money" than an organized player with 30 accounts and properly tanked procurers :)

You miss the point. New Order isn't about "bringing justice to High Sec" or any other drivel they are spewing out in their propaganda. Their aim is simple. Griefing as much as possible with as little resistance as possible.

Why do you think 90% of NO pilots are in NPC corps? ;)
