This thread convinced me that buying another 12 EVE accounts for [insert thing here] was a great idea.

The CFC is riddled with line-member spies, since it's not that hard to get in. If killing our Titans was as easy as "point titan, cyno in BL lolz" as Gevlon thinks, then we would be losing them daily. A line member spy is worth less than a titan kill, so this would be happening a lot if we didn't have basic procedures in place to stop it. So, you therefore need to be in a position to be telling the Titan where to go, in order to set up a trap. Which means, you need a supercap FC to flip* for 20bil. Which is so much less than it would take it's not worth talking about.

* - also, to who? There's no entity in the game who would place much trust in someone flipping sides for small change, so the theoretical supercap FC who would be bought by 20bil would do so knowing he has no where to go.

"Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual,

yeah thats what I mean. An independent cfc cap has no where to go (espec with a rep as a traitor). If I had a spy (lol my wet dreams) in the cfc super cap fleet I wouldnt even think about burning it for 20 bill. Its there so when you goto war with my alliance it tells my boys where you all are. This just frankly doesnt make any sense at all. even if it was 20 trillion isk it just doesnt make any sense. I cant even see why anyone would think it does. This can only be a troll. GG you got me. Im out.

actually this is one of his good ideas.
brb need to contact people with CFC alts.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Hey, look on the bright side. BL might finally have a new source of alliance-level income now that we took away all their moons and renters.

Every time Gevlon opens his mouth, hundreds of Goons (and lots of unaffiliated people like me) laugh.

Every time hundreds of Goons laugh, scores of them log on that otherwise would not have done so.

Every time scores of additional Goons log on, Goons gain militarily.


Hass Mr Goblin been an undercover Goon all along? Is Mr Goblin an alt of The Mittani? Only a true solar spymaster could come up with such an ingenious plan.

Hey Goons! You never heard the saying "don't interrupt foes when they make mistakes". You should just shut up and laugh as I waste my money. Why do you want to save me from that?

Probably because you know how titans die: dumbly.

There is surely a CFC titan sitting under a public password or corp access shield.
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who gladly bridge out a small gang of "bros" instead of telling them "no official ping, take gates punks".
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who logs out at the very same safespot every time.
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who accepts a fleet inv from "bros" and then asks "why am I warping to a planet"?
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who jumps to a cyno beacon or a cyno opened by a helpful "bro" because his cyno alt is still in Period Basis.
Wow.
How can anyone be so dumb that they still don;t get it even though it was explained for the Noir titan drop.

OK, here goes again. Even if you managed to find the most idiotic titan pilot who was willing to blindly leap into action with no questions asked, a titan is too big for a single person to just dust off. Enough people would need to get involved that you would all be doing it for pocket change. I mean 20b isn't exactly a "change the world" payday for 99% of nullers anyway, sticking to double digits is pretty peasant, but on top of that you'd be splitting it at least 10 ways. An even then, you'd have to hope a defense fleet wasn't scrambled to annihilate you, and that nobody from another alliance swept in and robbed the kill (since I'm sure you wouldn't pay out if PL hotdropped it at the last minute since you'd claim the CFC just shot the titan to whore on the kill).

Again, if you want this to actually amount to anything, you need to stop being so poor and dig considerably deeper.

Everybody wins except Goblin, and who cares about him?

Edit: bonus points if we kill it with a swarm of bombless bombers.


Actually this meets all the requirements, so mission accomplished. I can already see that "Chribba scammed me!" post.

20 bil isn't worth never getting to play with my friends again and probably also getting blacklisted from every other alliance worth a damn since everyone would know I'm a sellout waiting to happen.

Then again talking about social interaction to you is like trying to describe a rainbow to a blind man.

Please do it! Actually I know where you could get the titan. Mynnna is sooooooooo much more rich than me, he'd gladly donate you one.
Alternatively, he could explain you why is it an extraordinary dumb idea. If he doesn't bother to answer to a lowly grunt like yourself, come back in a few days and I explain you.

Oh wait, ignore him! Just offer your own titan!
