Why aren't Goons upset?

And I still don't know if it's a good idea to sell my reserves of oxygen isotopes I bought when goons started to show their true colors.

Nah, I'll wait till it hits 2k, I want 4x income on that.

Might I draw your attention to the fact I am talking about the Christmas presents that haven't arrived yet?

I am hoping that with enough people not knowing what to chose we can get them making these fuel blocks out of thin air for Christmas, flood the market and drop the prices back down.

As I say. When mine arrive, the other 3 types I will put in three contracts for straight swopping for the same amount of my fuel. Thus I get 40 000 and hopefully some Gallente POS people get more fuel cells.

Plans capitalizing on the ignorance of others work best when you don't start from that position yourself.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I feel this image adequately explains the situation w.r.t. goons.

This is the first I've heard of the presents. But my question then turns over to, how many blocks will be allocated pr account, and how many days would the maximum combined input of fuel blocks (i.e. we're assuming every account chooses gallente fuel blocks) created out of thin air last?

10 000 of each type per account. So 10 000 blocks of Gallente fuel cells per account that selects this option. When the cerebral implant was being offered to get more subscribers, I saw the price go from 450M to 60M. There were a lot less new subscribers than there are current players. Smile

Thus, when I straight swop, I will get 40 000 of one type, so it will be possible for Gallente POS people to do the same.

Edit: Naturally, that is just the free ones but they will be able to buy a whole load of them cheaply at the time too and stock pile.

P.S. CCP I love you guys for this. Clever passive way to take a shot at the Goons. Twisted

So in other words, tons of fuel blocks which'll be sold on the market relatively cheaply, and as long as we keep up the embargo on oxytopes, once the CCP-seeded supply runs out, another spike.

Awesome.

You do know the more you acknowledge Goons and talk about them, the more they will do? All the people who whine and ***** about them are only fueling their cause. However please continue because it is comical.

The flow of spice may be low but it will also stock pile while these blocks are around, thus I think it will be a slow rise. Also, these fuel blocks give people the ISK breathing space to change their Control Towers.

(Hint: You can take your tower out, put a new one in and re-attach your modules, without having to pick up and replace all the module. Just swop out the tower ... and keep it spare in case Goons stop damaging their own market and move onto another type, then you can swop back.)

Probably mixed up with the 10 000 ammo. Apologies. However, this coupled with informing more people about swopping their control towers out, should destroy the demand side for Gallente Ice.

I'm lazy and can't be arsed to do calculations, but given the worst case scenario, how many days of fuel would that be if compared to the existing oxytopes consumption?

Actually looking right now for the Dev blog with the rate of consumption per size. Smile

Also good luck jumping with fuel blocks...........

(Protip gallente caps are quite common, and use oxytopes to jump)
