Firstly, I am not your 'friend'.


Secondly, you do realise that by hiding behind the cloak of anonymity, you are indeed comparing yourself to the Shakespeare-as-anonymous-committee theory, as well as meaning what you said in your previous post.

Even though I only had a small number of votes last year, I was consoled by the belief that my efforts took away votes from Tora's ability to achieve a CSM seat.
Tora is irrational, does not believe in a clean fight and is rather happy if his minions attack other candidates and shout them down.
(He then declared one of those laughable wars on a Null Sec alliance, throwing away ISK and believing he was achieving something). Lol

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

I understand that. I sometimes feel like one of these actors, who always play evil roles and people on the streets keep telling them how mean they are Twisted That's the downside of being a good actor/role player. Blink

Oh, there are definitely people who pretend to be villains in EVE but you can usually spot them by their out of character comments.
You are consistent in all contexts, (that we see of you.)

I am really interested in what these things are that you name as consistent (between him roleplaying and him seriously discussing stuff for CSM) can you please elaborate and tell me which these things are?

3) WarDec avoidance made more clear / punitive


I do not believe his intentions for this and feel it is a personal axe he grinds about paying and not being able to slaughter.
Quote:
Idea: Younger characters should be harder to WarDec than older players
This is a hopeless idea with skill injectors, even based on account age, now.

He quotes a "study" by CCP that had very narrow windows in it and is being applied far more generally with regards to new players being killed or in fights and their staying or leaving.
(i.e. Grasping at straws to push a killer agenda.)
Quote:
Players in a WarDec should be restricted from all forms of leaving that war (if you hold roles)
So, he makes a farming corp with an alt, gives people roles and then station camps them?


I am not even half way into his mix of propaganda and laid out agenda.
I would think so much of this is obvious at a glance.

Tora,

Though i would like to enter discussion with you on wardecs and possible changes i have a different topic to ask you about with regards more so to High Security Space.

How do you really feel about the Bounty Hunter profession and how you might change the way mechanics work now for Bounties and Hunting to work as an actual engaging experience?

My thoughts on it in simplicity would be:
1.) Only allow random target assignment from a concord agent(preferably a losec agent)
2.) Allow for full individual bounty payment (meaning 1 person put a 10mill bounty on target not the 2 billion total, by example that could mean 200 separate 10mill missions.) when corpse is turned into agent.
3.) Bounty Hunter is given 'free' KR activation for that target only, with regards of being unable to activate any other KR options, and if he does not get the pod has to return to agent for another 'free' KR token.
4.) Bounty Hunter is supposed to be law enforcement...if they gank (do something to achieve GCC) they get dumped to a red sec status immediately and are unable to accept bounty missions for 90 days.

Tora,


What are your thoughts about changing it to where you can't drop corp when your corp/alliance gets war dec'd? Or it costing isk to drop corp during a war? I understand it's a problem for the high sec merc community.

Thanks

A few reasons why I won't vote for Tora:

1) A while back he declared war on my corporation on behalf of Loyal & Company. During the WD (unless I was flying a bathtub and jumped into 10 Marmites) they would run every time. Now they are at war with Loyal & Company.

2) I paid Tora 600m ISK for a week-long WD. The results were laughable.

3)

Running for CSM you do as a person, not a character you play in Eve. In real life I help people, in
Eve I want to be evil. Don't mix them up when you vote, as the real life player wants be in the CSM.


I don't think the two are so different. I'm not saying that a "pirate" in EO is a bank robber in RL, but it's part of your personality.

Vote for someone that will improve HS.



I would disagree with you. You get to put on a mask and be whoever you want in eve. You might be a doctor in real life and a pirate in eve. It might be that break from reality that you need.

I'm against it, because that would mean if you're perma decced, you have to stay with a corp you do not like. Also, sometimes we mercs get hired to disband a corp/alliance. paying to get out of the war as a player...mmm... neh, to much for me.

Carebears Unite and vote for Tora. You need someone with an evil streak to rid us of a greater evil: CODIES!!!! Pirate

Tora has promised to kick these gankers teeth in, No more steak dinners for them. Cool


Mr Bushido will make hisec the land of unicorns n rainbows nerfing anything that will hurt our carebears. Blink Maybe I'm exaggerating a little.....

But for the sake of defending the defenceless and creating some CONTENT, Tora is committed to buffing the Anti-Gank team.ShockedStraight


Pass the word carebeares, haulers, miners and industrialists in HIGHSECURITY space; (stop whining) Get off your buts and VOTE, n vote often.Big smile

At least bring back the criteria that a pilot has to have bad sec status before you can place a bounty on him/her. Perhaps have another mechanic for placing a "hit" on someone.

Bounty: an amount of money given to someone as a reward for catching a criminal

To put a big red, "WANTED" on someone implies that they've committed a criminal act.


You would be horrified to know the things I can do with a positive sec status. Mine is currently just under 0. But that's from ganking. The worst things I've done don't affect my sec status. Sec status only relates to crimes against the empires and Concord. Positive sec status does NOT mean you're not a criminal.

"Bounty Hunter" could be a legitimate profession.

Make it a random mission-type endeavor from Concorde agents. You don't get to choose the target (which avoids gaming the system) and it pays a flat rate % of the bounty for bringing back the corpse to the Concorde agent.

You would have to have a non-negative security status, but would not suffer any security loss for killing your target and podding them.

Just an idea...


That could be REALLY fun. Would have to make a way to ensure the proposed target is actually online. lol Maybe it only chooses a target who is currently online and undocked? And also provides their current location?

Anyone who hands me a Fedo prior to engaging in a brawl on Emperor Family can't be a bad choice!

On a serious note, I cant think of anyone more qualified to speak for the Mercs/BHs out there. Tora is going to be one of my votes for sure.

For what thats worth.
