The irony of this thread is that all the hulk pilots are reduced to frigates yet the pvpers lose nothing? Lol this is a pathetic attempt to set up a retaliatory event, in fact all you're doing is submitting to the fact that you're going to get ganked and so have decided to mine in a frig instead. Oh the tears.. just too much..

What happens when the pvpers decide to just ignore all the few and far-between bantams. Lets put it into perspective.. You go out to mine in your shiny fleet of bantams, taking in your pitiful yield whilst laughing and chortling amongst yourselves - "Silly silly pvpers! We've showed them!" 2 days have passed and still no pvpers come to gank you and all you hungry miners get bored. Then what? Then you get back into your hulks and you do what you do best. Thats when the ganking starts.

Funny thing is the op will probably quote me and say "Ahh your tears are delicious *grinz*"

Yes, they are aren't they?

They are delicious, so you got one part right.

There are so many ways to make fun of you, hillbillageddon and its participants. Flying bantams is only a fraction of what we got in mind for you.

Youll see, it be hilarious, or atleast, i will be laughing, so will Anshio.
I dont mind you are not seeing what this will be about.

facepalm.

Be carefull with the facepalming sir, your fingers might get stuck behind your facial piercings.

Point and laugh at hulkageddon and its participants.
(summary of ideas, do what ever you please with them)

Make it so that there will only be miners in Bantams for the full duration of hulkageddon by going out mining in a bantam atleast 30 minutes a day.

Dock up anything that is targeted by Hulkageddon for the full duration

Ideas that just came in:

Pretend to be a participant and by accident miss the exhumer and hit the participants (fly cheap and do say sorry for the full effect)

Pretend to be a participant and bump into them while they try to take someone down (fly cheap and do say sorry for the full affect)

Go out in fleets of bantams to mine the nulsec belts of the participants (leave implants at home)

Or go out in fleets of the cheapest Badgers you can find and act like bots to get a point across.

If you get caught, dont forget to point and laugh.

Above all, have fun with it.

People who want to join in are welcome.

Since this is turning into a alligned event called "hillbillagedon"., this event will always start when hulkageddon or simular event starts.

A website will soon be up (working on content)

Kind regards,

T. Would

P.S. We do not want hulkageddon event to be stopped, it is these kind of events that make EvE more fun. We just want another event which is out to make fun of hulkageddon and is an event in itself. The Hillbillageddon event can only exist if there is a hulkageddon or simular event. So we do hope to see many more hulkageddons.

EDIT 3
New idea just came in. Fleet up bantams, bring exhumer bait, bring scanning equipement, once we have incoming (exhumer disappears, bantams fly in. ( And all yell * Surprise* for the full effect when the attacker arrives)

Oh, god. The images in my head from this are hilarious.
I can literally see this happening. 5 Hulks in 1 belt, gankers warp in on d-scan, hulks get out and bantams come in.
SURPRISE!!! Lol

Well they will have to capture it, so you might find the pictures in your head on youtube after the event or on the dedicated website that is being constructed.

This info has been added to the initial post.
________________________________________

I have been getting a lot of positive and negative respons to these ideas.
After much debate and discussion it has been decided to take this to a different level.
Trust, it seems, is a big issue in EvE, bigger than it was anticipated to be.

There are not going to be any ingame channels for discussing or coordinating efforts to make some of the practical jokes we have lined up work. There will be a website announced with information regarding Hillbillageddon.

Thats right, we turned it into an alligned event towards hulkageddon and or simular events. Every time hulkageddon starts, Hillbillageddon starts. Hillbillageddon is the name we chose for the event that has one goal, pull practical jokes on hulkageddon parties.

Not by trying to get them ganked while they are out to gank you. No, it is about finding the most hilarious way to make these parties look "stupid" and will provide stomach ache of laughter for the people pulling off the practical joke on the hulkageddon parties.

You will be able to win a prize for the most hilarious succesfull attempt. Your proof, a youtube inc. an convo will be judged and published on the before mentioned website. (website adress will soon be published)

We will provide an crude example at the end of this post to give you an idea what we are talking about, but we have come to understand you guys have even more imagination than any of us, so we are really looking forward to what you can come up with.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Prizes
______

Since we are still looking for sponsorships / donations, we have only one prize to give away for the first run ever of this event. (If Donations are being made, this will be changed). We might be able to extend the prizes that can be won and maybe have second and third place prizes aswell.

We will pay 300 Million ISK for the best, succesfull practical joke on hulkageddon parties, that is proven by a youtube and a convo. All real entries will be posted on the before mentioned website (adress will be published shortly, upcoming week)

______________________________________________________________________________________________
If not counter gank, what are we talking about?
________________________________________
Here is an crude idea. Having posts in many systems to scout out hulkageddon parties. Once found setup asteroid/ice belts with a few or single exhumer alligned to disappear. X number of bantams (10 for example) are standing by to fly in. Have sscanning team to scan out for the incoming hulkageddon party. Once detected they are closing in fast, the Exhumer(s) disappear, the bantams fly in and start mining. For best effect before the party arrives, so youll have to coordinate it precisely. Once the party arrives you Point and Laugh, maybe yelling *SURPRISE*.

This is one crude example, which you may ofcourse use and finetune to your needs.
Or you come with something way more hilarious.

More info on website coming soon, if we receive donations, it will be notified on this thread and on the website.

The gauge of this events succes (Hillbillageddon) is the amount of stomach ache of laughter.

Have a good time!

How will this be determined? Will it need an out-standing group of people who will judge every single practical joke objectively (as if that's ever gonna happen...), or will it be done exclusively through voting?
