Somewhere along the line......it has been forgotten that EVE is a GAME. This ALL sounds like, on both sides, nothing but a neurotic obsession.

I'm ignoring both (apparently 2 events) this time around , as per usual.

What a load of nonsense it's become.

I'd rather just play the game and make ISK and buy some spaceships to fly. That's it for me.

I find it rather perplexing that those of us who aren't miners, and by extent not industrious leaders of the EVE business community, make enough money to not have to shop around for a discount on less than two dozen low-tier Tech I frigates.

Perhaps you should take another week off, so that you can put in some overtime at your McJob to be able to afford to sell a PLEX for ISK?

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

And if you win, actually get something for your trouble for sharing your laughs!

People should think about this, well ofcourse i would say that, but how are your chances of winning anything in hulkageddon where you already know who is going to run away with the prizes.

Well, it does not surprise me on the other hand, that a non-industrialist does not see why it is important to buy cheap and sell high and/or stretch your ISK as much as you can. (hence the name for this event, hillbillageddon)

SEE what I meant earlier about neurotic, psychotic hostility ???

Now they are making fun of economically disparaged people.

You are dragging the game and your insults WAY too far into Real Life to even be considered healthy.

You make me want to vomit.

Hostile? No. Objective? Yes.

If these people weren't lazy loser degenerates, and actually bothered to apply enough Axe bodyspray to mask their odor for the duration of a job interview, they wouldn't be "economically disparaged."

See, this is exactly why we predators will always be winners, while you, and the foodstamp-collecting ninnies you argue for, will always be losers. It's also the reason you mine in high-sec; lapping up the scraps in an MMO videogame is arguably the last avenue for you to experience the feeling of productivity. The rest of us do well enough that we don't have to put up with the soul-crushing monotony of riskless high-sec grinding. We can buy any ships or modules we want, while you're forced to play solitaire during Hulkageddon, and permanently unsubscribe if, God forbid, you lose your one and only exhumer.

I assure you that I'm not the cause of your wish to vomit. If anything, it's your body's desire to purge itself of the ignorance of your uneducated reasoning. That, or the tree bark you had for dinner, peasant.

Could you also share your view on the monotony of riskless high-sec ganking and your need to try and insult people at a personal level?
What exactly do you think you gain by that, personally?

Ofcourse you are free to "enjoy" the game any way you like, as do I, as does Krixtal and any other player for that matter. You do not need to like it. To me, we are all just a bunch of pixel pirates in game and none of the in-game issues make me feel better or worse in real life. It is a game.

I dont mind you posting like this, trying to insult, it will keep this thread alive and on first page, hell i will even +1 you for doing so.

If this thread was as futile as some people say, than why bother with it?

Seems a PVP players worst nightmare is being pulled one over by a miner/industrialist.

Hillbillageddon Season I
Website is up! (goto http://eve-universe-events.webklik.nl/page/hillbillageddon-s-i )

We have been getting a lot of positive and negative respons to the Hillbillageddon idea. 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 from our side, we leave that upto you and your mates. We ourselves are not eligible for the nice prizes we have made available for this contest.

Thats right, we have turned this initiative into an alligned event (Contest) towards the hulkageddon event. 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.





Contest goals

It is not the primary goal to get hulkageddon parties ganked while they are out to gank you. No, it is primarely about finding the most hilarious way of pulling of an practical joke on these hulkageddon parties which provides stomach ache of laughter for the people pulling off the practical joke on the hulkageddon parties and people visiting this site looking at your results. A counter gank is a bonus but will only enhance your chances of winning if it is a final part of an eloborate joke (scheme).

Crude example:

Having posts in many systems to scout out hulkageddon parties. Once found, setup asteroid/ice belts with a few or single exhumer(s) alligned to disappear. An X number of bantams (10 for example) are standing by to fly in. Have a sscanning team to scan out for the incoming hulkageddon party. Once detected they are closing fast, the Exhumer(s) disappear, the bantams fly in and start mining. For best effect, you should be ready with this manouvre 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.
But we have come to understand you guys are way more inventive than any of us to find a hilarious way to fool these hulkageddon parties.





Prizes

The following prizes have been made available for the most hilarious practical joke pulled on Hulkageddon parties:

1st prize : a 30 day PLEX

2nd prize : 200 Million ISK

3rd prize : 100 Million ISK

(With thanks to our members who came up with money and ISK to make these prizes available)
If your corporation or alliance feel like further spicing up this prize pool, please contact "Tiger Would" by EvE-mail.




How to enter in this contest

Figure out a way to pull off a practical Joke on hulkageddon parties/participants and pull it of while hulkageddon is running. When you send in your results, provide an explanation on the "script"or "plan" you used. You also will have to capture it on video and upload it on youtube. A copy of the conversations taking place while pulling of your practical joke would enhance your chances. Your material will be reviewed and we will find out if it is fake or not.

When everything is in order your material will be put on this website and the public will be able to vote for best practical joke. Once Hulkageddon ends, Hillbillageddon also ends. The best practical joke, 1st and 2nd runner up will be awarded the before mentioned prizes


You can send in your contest results at: hillbillageddon@hotmail.com






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

Have a good time!

I have never quit playing during H'geddon. No reason to. Some people want high sec life as casual players who just want something to do in the evening CASUALLY. Not me, but More than you would ever think.

Now to the meat of the matter:


We are all so happy that you think you have already WON The Game of Life !!!

BS.

I suggest you look up the definition of the psychological condition known as megalomaniacal infantilism. The above is a veritable checklist for the condition.

And your use of the word Ninny indicates Great Britain. I believe you Euros are having some 'Financial Issues'. After the collapse finally hits you, your retirement is gone, there are NO jobs, food prices skyrocket (I'm just describing America ATM).................. lets re-read the above in about 12 months and then see how you feel in the dole line.

You need to get, not out of the game, but off the Earth, or plant yourself on a shrink's couch for awhile. You have LOT's to discuss.

Maybe Oprah can offer some assistance as well.........
