In-Game Events and Gatherings

That's generally how it works with gamers these days. You should see the stuff they complain about on the ESO forum - it makes Eve's whinebears look positively almost-sane.

Immature stuff like calling people 'whinebears' is part of the reason why there is so much toxic BS about the issue of ganking all over the forums.

Balderdash. The "toxic BS" comes from people who feel entitled to play a multiplayer game without other players being able to interact with them in a non-consentual way, even though this is something that has always and explicity been part of Eve.

From what I can tell is they did not engage a bait venture. Sounds like OP-Sec working at its finest.

Yeah, such elite PvP against ships that essentially can't fight back and really can't be tanked all that well.

Actually, the Prospect is the one designed for ninja mining. Gee, sorry you weren't consulted on the design of a mining frigate.

I quote a line from The CODE:

"Without rules, there is no such thing as freedom"

Ironic.

This rule should be applied to the same individuals that "enforce" them. It would be fun to hear the squeaking, for a change.

CCP is failing by letting things like this happen, imo. Taking away someone's freedom for someone else's spoiled enjoyment is hardly a right decision.
And by letting this event happen, once more the red line is pushed a little further. More then an internet spaceship game, more and more EVE is becoming a sociopath and mass paranoia incubator.

There are plenty of internet spaceships to kill in New Eden, but these individuals choose the easy prey ventures. And call it "PVP".
I dont see how this is much different from beating up babies, old people or individuals with disabilities.
Ethically, this is gross. But we all know that. Its the fact that it's all about internet spaceships that changes the game, because the individual behind it has no face.

Good job on letting unscrupulous individuals be the kings of your internet spacephip game once more, by the way. They probably laugh just as much at the lack of control over your game's player base actions and excessive leniency, as they do when they blow up internet ships played by someone that probably doesnt even know how to use them properly yet, let alone know they can file a complaint. That will most likely be dismissed due to lack of evidence.

CCP is lenient, but these individuals are not. Something's missing here. Dunno, kinda think there should be some sort of mutualism here.

These are the same individuals that exploit Eve's weaknesses over and over, the EULA might one of them.

Now come and get my Ventures, i got plenty.
And by the way, i will surely have lolz to spare by the many "baptism by concord" you'll all have, who knows, kill me enough and you may even get promoted to janitor.

"- Red Pen. On my desk there is a sheet of paper. In my desk there is a drawer. Inside this drawer is a Red Pen. If a miner commits an egregious offense or series of offenses, his name will be written on the paper with the Red Pen. If your name is written in Red Pen, the cost of an indulgence will be trebled and you will be at increased risk of bumping."

Get that ready, you'll need it.
Ill shoot at "your" internet space rocks, get my internet spaceship blown up, watch you get one more "Baptism by Concord", and loot your worthless wrecks.
However, just as you know how to draw Concord away from internet asteroid belts, i know how to draw them in, and i will surely laugh at your inability do do anything while my puny venture is guarded by the internet spaceship police. Maybe you'll have to get a better, more expensive internet ship fit with better, more expensive internet modules to alpha my puny Ventures?

Anyways, i quoted something that belongs on the eternal book of mighty lolz.
Pure roleplaying stupidity.

Thought occurs a way to troll this contest is to not fly a venture at all.

Instead, if you have the skills, tank an Occator or Mastodon, slap a pair of Mining Laser II's on it and mine in newbie systems for S&G's. Properly fitted, they can survive a suicide gank long enough for Concord to do their thing. Or barring that, fit a T1 industrial with turret capability for the same thing. Sure, you can't tank 'em as well and their crappy on the throughput, but it's not a venture and it won't count towards this contest.

Or hell, if you're real adventurous, do like they did in the old days. Mine in a battleship.

Dunno, maybe that's the problem.

It's a fault in the human genetic code. James is the Alpha. And he's an idiot. The fault in the genetic code leads some people to take this Alpha idiocy as an example to follow.

wait.... you mean some people actually use these things to mine?
I thought they were the awoxer's whaling vessel of choice.
