EVE General Discussion

Eve Republican Party approves this message

Yeah, when Padro drives his van to the playground, the candy isn't for the little children its for everyone, he's there for everyone. It doesn't matter that he went to a child's playground. Here's the deal, the van is moving over the next few days and EVERYONE is welcome. I'm really sorry you can't take the time out of your schedule to come to the playground, that's your fault.

duuuurrr

This logic is so sound and the average person is brilliant.

Man, you people can never be happy. Sounds like a bunch of self important, entitlement loving bitches in here. You don't want PL to get all the stuff then bring a bigger and better fleet. Coming on here with the "gimme stuff CCP because I'm too lazy to go get it" line is getting really, really old.

The special thing about these large corporations is that they have this nifty ability to quickly relocate fleets. And they have no problem traversing big distances to get to where the fun is. So if CCP deployed right in the middle of high-sec you would still see these people.

This thread is so full of ignorance it makes my ******* brain hurt.

Mad props to CCP for standing their ground. Keep standing that ground no matter what and you'll have my respect.

Perhaps the ironic thing here is that for anyone that remembers the original CCP events team - events (back when Eve was only 10k 15k online) there were similar complaints that the same people were always getting the loot from the events because they made it their business to lurk in the events channels and would quickly relocate to where all the shinies were. But ultimately, it was players flying pimped ships doing the intel work up that put them in the right time and place.

I can tell you from experience though that little guys do sometimes get lucky. Old corp mate of mine managed to snag one of the only Opus Luxury yachts in existence from an event to celebrate the launch of quafe ultra and that was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time and swooping in for the loot.

I do understand its dispiriting to see these CCP fleets that *always* seem to be harvested by PL and their 0.0 allies and it looks fishy - but you need to look past that really as a simple reality of the server at the moment. PL is the Eve aristocracy and when something shiny appears they will come down with their golden chariots and hunt with ivory bows like the kings and queens of old. Thats just fact and the outcome of multiple years of unchallenged moon income etc and static 0.0 napfest. There isn't much anyone can do about *that*.

But what you can do is get into a cheap clone, prep a lootstealing cloaky vessel (bomber will do nicely) and listen to the same rumours PL do. Put PL fleet commanders and personalities in your location agents. Listen to the news, inflitrate pirate intel channels. Travel fast to the site of battles and prepare to steal the loots from under PL noses with a ship that costs less than then ammo they are using.

Ordinary capsuleers (you and me) are the rats in the wainscotting of this dystopian world. The huge alliances have no respect for individuality and seek only conformity and slavish obedience from their drones. We individuals are beneath their notice and that gives us an opportunity to thieve and steal and sabotage from under the gaze of these space-kings and jealous tyrants.

Rather than whining on the forums that things are not fair (nothing is fair) go prep your loot stealing vessels and swap to a cheap clone. Swarm these engagements and steal plex and bpcs out from the grasping fingers of the aristrocracy and toast your larcenary from the shrouding darkness of the cloak while the gods of eve lament the presence of insects to steal their prizes.

But understand this. To PL and their 0.0 nap allies you are nothing. You will never be respected or accepted or dealt a fair hand. Eve is a cruel and unkind universe. So learn the arts and techniques you need to survive and prosper despite the reign of burnished tyrants that rule these stars from their immortal moon-goo empires.

Your victory little loot ninja is your continued existence and drawing breath on the morrow.

And for that I at least salute you and call you my comrade at arms.

In my job i often get deals like this:

Book (X) amount of hotel rooms with us within 30 days and get (Y) prize!

Where X is the amount of hotel rooms I get to book in a whole year or so...

So I usually work with a company that rewards little dealers with rappels and never mails us to tell us with what sort of cool promotional stuff they do for their bigger dealers only.

The moral is, telling your customers they're unworthy of your promotional budget is a moot business practice...

Well understand Beaches, I don't agree with the static nature or basic system of moon income. I think it is ridiculous that the minerals automagically teleport from the moon to behind pos shields (thus protecting the function of income via the reinforcement mechanic - which obviously makes a large mobile power with plenty of naps able to protect itself pretty well) + I don't agree with the boring permanence of the income. I think moon minerals should deplete and respawn elsewhere so that borders would need to shift and naps would be less stable between greedy empires.

Thats what I mean by "unchallenged" - as in protected by game mechanics I consider to be frankly wrong.

But its hardly the point of my post above. We play in the reality of the fabulously rich moon-income boosted PL supremacy where they have napped anyone who can be a threat to them and elected themselves the kings and queens of new eden. Some see this as a symbol of despair and gnash their teeth calling on ccp to run "special events" for "special players" who can't hope to match the firepower of the mighty but I see that as regressive sliding towards a sharded Eve and is horrible to consider.

So I say steal from Pandemic Legion and their alliances, steal and loot and run away laughing!

And cherish your independence and individuality - to survive as a free capsuleer is playing Eve on hard mode and it must be applauded by somebody even if the only one clapping is a rare anarchist trouble-maker with a penchant for theatricality.

PL/TEST were never there for the loot. We go where the fights are end of story. It is also well known that we operate with an NBSI policy just like most 0.0 alliances. It has nothing to do with lack of respect for any other player in the game it is simply PvP. Thinking otherwise is just selfish.

Confirming PL join fights for jewlewts.

Confirming PL is 1%

Also confirming pubbie scrubs are mad.
