No such thing as Communistic.

You're right about his grammatical error however, and I was going to point that out before you beat me to it.


If you mean Communistic isn't a word, I give you credit there probably. I typed that quickly to point out his error, and couldn't think of anything more appropriate for the 'Proveldtariat' founder (God that's a mouthful to actually say, my tongue hates me now).

Sorry if my making up words offends anyone P

If you didn't already know, CCP are saying NOT to place bounties on new players.

You have been warned.

Yes well, people aren't listening... because the feature is created in such a way that is all but encouraged it to be abused and used to harass other players, much like this video game in general.

Why am I bothering to sit here and spout so much negativity some might ask? Because I just paid $15 for this crapfest and I'm gonna get my money's worth one way or another. Roll

So what you are saying is that $15 is the going rate to be laughed at and pointed out to others as a classic case of victim mentality for 30 days?

I'll pass the word.

I had an alt in Dodi this morning, the OP made local lively, should have been there. But here's to hoping for a mail or two, forum rules compliant, of course. Wish I would have gone ahead and taken the day off.

And here I thought Iceland had been crime-free since the last of 40,000 American troops left after the US occupation ended in 1945.

My bad.

My favourite HiSec tear-laden rant was in Russian and, to cut a long story short, it seems that calling someone an 'Elk' is the worst of all insults...

He obviously didn't read the patch note of tears being used in alchemy along with noob ship salvage to produce isotopes.

*Sighs* I could have fueled my carrier with those.

Seriously though, maybe all it needs is some in game mention that Bounty != kill rights.

Hell, It might already be there. I'm still stuck at work.

I'm sure I'll read some if I find the time, but my RL schedule can be a bit too tight for distilling the hilarious tears from the sour ones. As my advertisement in the Sell Orders forum states, however, I may occasionally post some of the choice ones when business gets rolling and tears really start flowing.

I saw someone suspect in my system, so I put a 1,000,069 bounty on them for fun. (Was supposed to be 100,069, but I can't count without commas.) He put 1,000,000 on me in exchange. I still don't like the fact that you see who exactly places a bounty on you.

I have been hanging out in the Help chat channel and Dodixie local handing out a few bounties here and there (ok more like lots of them) and i have been getting some vicious hate evemail!

Is anyone else getting lots of hate mail from people you put bounties on?

The worst are 5.0 sec status carbears and nullbears.

Well one person told me they were going to come to my house and sodomize me.. another wished i'd die in a fire.. for a lousy 100k bounty i'd say thats a BIT of an over reaction.


Well I think they're totally justified there is now going to be a never ending stream of suiciders ganking them morning, noon and night for that 100k which will completely cover their ganker's ship loss and rocket them to stardom on the bounty hunters list so there could be no stronger motivation to gank them.

They should feel privileged at least with 100k on them they will eventually lose that bounty, what about me?!?!? There's 5 million on my head and I feel perfectly fine telling you all this because I can never undock again. The whole lot of you are just salivating waiting for me to log in and collect that 5 mil I know it, I just know it.

It's funny how people overreact and how aggressive they become when someone "spoil" their pixel property.

I've seen people do something like that in social network by downvoting someone's pictures - to collect hate mails and publish them.
