Crime & Punishment

BB makes its ISK by killing PvE ships in null. It gives one good item each kill to the hunter of that kill, %50 of the rest of the loot to FC (who then distributes it to crucial roles in fleets), and takes other %50 for SRP. SRP wallet usually sustains itself and does not accumulate, but we had a 5 bil / month sponsorship from evebet and just before the ban we were able to receive some 15 billion from I Want ISK. CCP didn't take it. We did not waste that money for rainy days, and fleets made enough ISK for SRP, so it' was still there. So ISK is from kills and leftover from old sponsorships.

BB was found by Tempelman N, who left the game and left the NPSI at the hands of Nova Valentis about 3 years ago. Besides Nova there were about 11 bartenders, 4-5 of which just joined 3 months ago or newer. All these people have amounts and areas of contribution. The new FCs usually listened the others. There were really a couple of people pushing for things to be greater. And a problem was that, because Nova wanted less bureaucracy, there was no strict division of areas which in return caused lots of people to interfere lots of others' contributions. E.g. I had to spend days to convince Nova on how to do things in the website, for which he spent no hours. Thus his understanding of less bureaucracy led to more headache. Below is a pastebin of a mail from me to the rest of the BB people after I got banned, if you want more on how exactly I thought BB was led in a bad way.

The highest influence on decisions was Nova, then me and the other 2 years old FCs and Linus, after whom all the other FCs. To this day I don't know how exactly BB decides to do things, including kicking me or Linus. They just ask in a slack channel and if nobody objects (often nobody responds) then they take it to themselves to kick people. So basically about 5 people (Nova + two 2 year-olds + two 1 year-olds) decided we should go, and the newcomers did not object, also because they were chosen by Nova to be FCs anyway. This Nova+4 group also spent much social time with these newcomers to have influence over them. Linus and I didn't get the chance.

The issue is that this Nova+4 probably spent less overall effort (in total number of hours or just creative contribution) for BB than me + Linus. So idk who has the `moral rights` to BB.

So that's basically what happened. If we had the main channel rights perhaps we would have kicked them instead. But they had it. But we had the website and access to the ISK. Hence drama.

As ****** of a situation as this is, I'd just like to say thanks to the both of you (Olmeca and Linus). Without getting in to the current situation, I can say I have some damn good memories flying under you. Hell Olmeca you even taught me how to rat with a bomber in LS back in late 2014 I think it was? Whatever happens, thank you for the memories, and all you've contributed to EVE /BB.

22 billion isk isn't worth burning yourself over. Excuses aside, BB Leadership is literally retaded but you don't burn yourself over other dumb people. Instead, you make yourself a valuable asset to other groups. If you were as "talented" as you claim you are you could have simply walked away. I'll never quite understand in this late stage in the game and saturation of isk why some people think X is worth trust and reputation. Unless you are leaving with 500 billion + and have an exit strategy and plan or usage for said isk it really isn't worth it. Well maybe just to see BB **** themselves and moan and cry. Now that part is delicious.

I paid out every request I had and only after that took off with what was left in the wallets.
Processing a non-existent SRP request is a difficult thing to do..

Linus!

Good to see you are still playing dude! Are you going to take your new found wealth to Menzoberranyr? How's that project of yours going anyway?

Finally caught up reading all about the drama, I was not following bombers bar in the last months because my focus ingame went to other activities.

... I was in a couple of Olmeca's fleets, and they were well organized and fun. I know and acknowledge how much effort he put into that (scouting, preparing hunters, traps, new tactics, etc.), ensuring a safe passage and kills for the fleet. A big thank you for that!

But ... Olmeca, revenge is not enough and somewhat cheap IMO. If you believe in your vision about covert warfare and NPSI, you need to take leadership.

Also Jayne's statement about Spectre striving for the good fights, and BB being the bad boys killing the fun is BS, just that. He may think Spectre is all about Saturday's Ganked fleets, but most of the rest and kills is about ganking ratters. Hell, on a single Dizzop ceptor roam we kill more bears than during a week with BB. This is EvE, if you have a fair fight, somebody has done a mistake.

Half the channels in that mail are troll channels or not active at all.. Menzo wasn't the only one among them that isn't active.

The 22 billion I took amount to ~0.2% of my total asset wealth. I didn't take the money for the sake of "getting rich" (not with that pocket change, lol), I took it to make a statement. To make a point about how much I despise what BB has become.

It is fascinating observing how grown men interact with each other on the internet

If you think so because his charisma, you are right htat there hasn't been such a charismatic FC after him. Nova tried to approximate, but nobody can be him.

If you think so because content, then BB had much better content only after Tempelman. Best bombing runs, new kind of bombing runs, billions of kills, titan kills, supercap kills all happened after Tempelman.

He was a charismatic guy with a great idea for Eve. He wasn't the best person in implementing the idea. For example, whenever he had a whaling fleet, he would often rely on 1 guy hunting a specific target or a region. It was only after him BB realized distributing multiple hunters inside a jumprange, instead of using 1 guy who aims to take all the credit and glory of hunting, was a best practice in covert ops whaling.

so you're an attention seeking **** who stole from a npsi group?

noone cares

**** off
