EVE General Discussion

What is your best plan for using all the new toys and features in Retribution?
Corner the market on the new mining frigates?
Fweem all the things in a massive Maller fleet?
Put a giant bounty on your CEO and then tweet his location?
Go and countergank the freighters in Niarja and Uedema using only the redone cruisers with logi frigs to counter the Goons attempts at freeing their ship?

If this is the only thing you can come with you clearly lack of imagination

Think harder

So the ones I listed weren't my own?
Besides I already am making ISK on the cruisers from speculation.


This is more on just what is something you will do that you wouldnt normally, not how do I make ISK ninja thread.

I'm going to get a few billion ISK worth of bounties from various whiners who hate that reality doesn't agree with them, and then I'm going to go to Jita in my freighter full of goodies.

resisting the urge to play eve, and actually attend my job interview.

I plan to trap a significant portion of the galaxy in permanent wardecs, topping hundreds of consecutive wars against tens of thousands of players. Oh wait...

Don't worry you gave it a shot.
Ok plenty of shots, a large number of explosions, and may many tears.
Besides now you can set it mutual on those less than willing to understand they can turn it off and still go against them

Quad light beam laser Omen all day, every day. The QLBLs will have their... retribution.

I'm going to use the new gates between Kurniainen and Isbrabata.

Living the dream.

Aurelius Valentius, The Infinitely Prolonged

[BACKGROUND INFO]
Aurelius Valentius, The Infinitely Prolonged was - indeed, is- one of the Universe's number of immortal beings.

Most of those who are cloned immortal instinctively know how to cope with it, but Aurelius was not one of them. Indeed, he had come to hate them, the load of serene bastards mining away or locked in eternal PvP and all for KMs that never ended or meant anything. He had his immortaility inadvertantly thrust upon him by an unfortunate incident in which he created an account in an irrational moment and due to an advent online about a new video game, a liquid lunch of Jagermeister, and a pair of rubber chickens - the less said about the chickens the better, for we have all been there at one time or another... The precise details are not important because no one has ever managed to duplicate the exact circumstances under which it happened, and many people have ended up looking very silly, or dead, or both, trying.

To begin with it [immorality] was fun, he had a ball, living dangerously and flying ships without the proper fits or insurance, taking risky jumps into low and null sec, cleaning up on high-yield long-term investments, and just generally outliving the hell out of everybody due his lack of being a stupid noob and being put in a pod or vat.

In the end, it was Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in at about 2:55 when you log in and know prior to this you've taken all the baths you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the EVE Tribune you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new fitting tools or game techniques it describes, and that as you stare at the EVE clock as the digits move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.

So things began to pall for him. The merry smiles he used to wear at other people's poddings began to fade. He began to despise the people in local and in his corp channels, and indeed the whole of New Eden in general, and everybody in it in particular.

This was the point at which he conceived his purpose, the thing that would drive him on, and which, as far as he could see, would drive him on forever. It was this:

He would 100,000 ISK Bounty the Universe with the new bounty system in Retribution.

That is, he would bounty everybody in it. Individually, personally, one by one, and (this was the thing he really decided to grit his teeth over) in Alphabetical Order.

When people protested to him, as they sometimes had done, that the plan was not merely misguided but actually impossible because of the number of new accounts, alts and lapses in the player base, bannings and logins and outs, not to mention the incoming DUST bunnies, he would merely fix them with a steely look and say, "A man can dream, can't he?"

And so he had started out. He equipped a spaceship with the proper modules and downloaded several IGB tools capable of handling all the data processing involved in keeping track of the entire population of new Eden and working out the horrifically complicated jump routes involved and bookmarks needed.

[CURRENT WHEREABOUTS]
He is still bountying people. He accidentally bountied CCP Habakuk twice, because he is on the test server as a bot running scripts and the resulting jump from a past mirror in time, caused this to replicate.

[HOW TO IDENTIFY]
Aurelius Valentius has a pecuiliar Amarrian tallness, a peculiar Amarrian head, peculiar Amarrian eyes, extravagantly draped golden robes with a peculiarly Amarrian collar design, and a particular Amarrian skin that has that lustrous sheen about it that most Amarrian's can acquire only with plenty of exercise and very expensive soap.



If you love, you will bounty 100K, and make someone feel wanted... we all want to be wanted... don't we?
