Crime & Punishment

Comprehension:
Hulkageddon is an event with the primary goal of blowing up as many Hulks and other mining ships as possible in a given time period.

Statistics:
There has yet to be a single Hulkageddon event that blew up more then 1% of the total hulks on the grid at the time of the event.
The Majority of Hulk kills took place in low sec or null.
During hulkageddon events the average number of Hulks killed during the time period of the event is only 1-3% more than if there was no event. (Helicity Boson)

Commentary:
I noticed during several of the hulkageddon events the people who were supposed to be dedicated participants were unwilling to travel a few systems to meet their prey. Whats more? The same people who complained about low sec status preventing them from helping in high sec were afraid of or complacent about the idea of traveling deep into null sec to continue the hunt.

Conclusion:
Hulkageddon should no longer be a yearly occurrence, the entirety of it should be done away with as a tradition and in it's place people should participate in Hulkpocolypse. Hulkpocolypse takes place 365 days a year, every year from this point on.

MAX Hulkageddon

And if you intent is to massivly inflate already high mineral prices gank away. Your favorite ganking ships, ammo, missles... etc will get more expensive and us poor defensless miners will laugh our asses off as we roll in the pile of ISK that rolls in. Trit for example is the highest I have seen in a long time avg 3 ISK in many regions.

We have dates yet? I need to know my window to get my sec status up

Since I'm a career miner who prides himself in mining, let me give you my 3-ISK worth:

1. Falling minerals prices are what made mining such an under-appreciated profession in the first place. As of today, it's the equivalent of being a Walmart employee (overworked and underpaid).
2. Career gankers help bring the prices up so that mining can finally bring more profit from buyers per hour of mining.

and finally, but my biggest gripe...

3. Judging from your post, you seem to pride yourself in mining for long hours for less and less ISK/hour as the mineral prices fall. No self-respecting miner would allow him/herself to be happy with such meager profits. Therefore, by logic alone, you are either bullshitting yourself into thinking you're a big shot with your flimsy margins or you are a botter. If you are the former, I hope someone ganks you for being a fool. If you are the latter, I have a gank-fitted Talos and its large ammo has your name on it.

haha hulk 'pilots' that's like captaining a surfboard in a kiddie pool

you dont read crime and punishment much do you?

Feeding frenzy, what can be said?

mmmm more tears.

ITT a poster that is still mad with jealousy about not having come up with it first.

Helicity puts forth great effort and much fanfare always accompanies it. It is fun, controversial and generates more concentrated tears for the research community-tears which have could have life saving potential!

With CCP's continued nerfing of the ganking lifestyle, I fear for events to come. I find their actions most displeasing and am not certain for the duration of time I will be able to countenance these transgressions against persons with a criminal playstyle everywhere in New Eden.

This event is a ray of hope for us all. -1 OP
