I think goons hierarchy of success isn't the same as yours.

1) Having fun
2) preventing other from having fun
3) Non-blues blowing up
4) Blues blowing up
6) Other losing isk
7) No one making isk
8) Goons making isk
9) Acquiring herpes
10) Mining

Well played, well played.

But they've already done the first 8, and some of them probably the first 9, so why not go the full distance? Goonswarm (for some reason makes me think of Boone's Farm) is bound to have hundreds of peons running around that they could force into slave labor. All they'd need to do is threaten to ostracize them from the SA community.

Don't go there, in three posts Akita T will be going on about how goons fail because they didn't manage to steal ALL the herpes

True.

It deflected a lot of attention and bad publicity from Goon RMTing.

even at peak oxytope prices it is hilariously bad isk/hr to mine topes compared to shooting red crosses

Hey, you guys have fun blowing up stuff and harvesting tears, we have fun telling people who "only" make a few hundred billion that they could have made more (especially if they calculate the claimed RoI wrong).
I'd call it a win-win situation ! :P

To me it comes off more as the personal prejudices of certain posters leading them to embrace a nirvana fallacy in which any action taken with regards to a market manipulation attempt is not worthwhile because it was not the very best it could have been had it been executed by the ~puppetmasta~ what is the individual voicing the criticism. This is not specific to the Oxygen Interdiction by Goonswarm; rather, it is a recurring theme that I have seen in threads for the entirety of the time that I have been playing this game, which arises whenever someone makes a gesture intended to result in market manipulation or even discusses the topic. Certain forum users, while at the same time perpetuating a mystique that they make their billions or trillions off of similar, but more refined and unspecified, tactics, berate any of the uninitiated who deign to speak on the topic. It is elitism; it is fractious; it is mostly a waste of both parties' times, and those of the readers. And yet we continue to f5 the page, of course all the while pretending that we don't.

Aren't humans grand?

No exact date for Hulkageddon is anounced other than it will start soon. Now with Goons having their fingers in Hulkageddon it seems like:
1. Hulkageddon will not start until Goons have bought enough Oxygen Isotopes/Blueice (or another resource they can interdict)
2. after Hulkageddon many stocks will be depleted and Goons can start interdiction #2

Too bad people are not selling their ice because everybody knows they'll need their supply for Hulkageddon.

Lyris, better pet CCP. Someone hax your accoutn. you cna tell cuz the writtings good.

Also, I too cannot respect the Goons because they didn't make enough hundreds of billions off of the oxytope manipulation. MD has standards, you know.

As an aside, this is how it's done. Smug bastard throws around the term "billions" like he was Carl Sagan, and sneers at pathetic, underpowered investments that don't triple his already vast funds in a week.

Yep, steadily falling oxytope prices, clearly an indicator that we're buying it all up.

Just wait until the bots start stock piling some more ice, and prices will start going down quickly.

I myself made a decent amount of ISK by having a good amount of iso before it all began.
Without even participating in the actual ganking or doing anything about it.

So thanks dear goons P
