It would be quite the challenge.

Five Hulkageddons plus a 'permanent' one did nothing to AFK'ers.


Well gosh, maybe I'll use other methods.

Like proposing an insurance change that put the price of minerals into freefall...? Pirate

So what? No one cares how "cowardly" these gankers and bumpers are except idiot carebears who think e-honour is a compelling reason to not do something in a video game.

Personally I am happier to call a coward a coward rather than saying that they are some how better because they are not even big enough to be a real life coward but have to be cowards in a video game.

I have to ask, though, why you feel it neccesary to call out the coward in the first place. Is it because you think they will change their behavior? Or maybe to differentiate yourself from these people? Or does it make you feel better about yourself to bring someone down to your level?

CCP has no sense of humour.

Best of luck with that. Because CCP absolutely takes every proposal here seriously.

Earlier today, the Dixon Mining Guild and the Butz Manufacturing Corporation formed a coalition.

It's hard to tell if there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Dixon-Butz Alliance.

To be honest for the same reason that people have been calling out cowards for hundreds of years.

An attack on someone defenseless is wrong and should not be encouraged nor should cowardice in general even in a computer game, scamming yeah i am good with that, pvp yeah I cant say i like it particularly but its still good, attacking the defenseless, nope those people are scum and should never in any way be lead to believe otherwise.

Edit: actually thinking about it I would like to ask why you believe that attacking the defenseless should be praised?

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Because it makes good sense to pick on the weak and defenceless rather than the strong and aggressive when both pay similar rewards, if your goal is to get the reward as efficiently as possible?

So basically you judge the way other people play a video game from the safety of the forums? Maybe hoping someone else will have the courage to stand up to these "cowards"? Good for you. Too bad talk is cheap, hero.

I mean, if they're cowards you should be able to drive them off with a simple bloody nose, right? They won't put up a fight because they're cowards and bullies, right?

Shareholder dividends, right here!

You should join the Tolero Guard and fight the cowards since you feel so strongly about this.

Agreed. The 100mil I gave to James 315 was some of the best space-cash I've ever spent.

Except they too hide behind the police, so you cannot give them a nose bleed without suffering one yourself. So the obvious solution is to have another character around with guns as they will not attack that and they don't they go find someone else who is defenseless.

Cowards one and all, call it what you will but that is all they are.

Yes and I would love to see me get ganked mining, oh wait my alts in hi-sec fly skiffs so nope safe there. This character, completely safe as I don't fly defenseless ships around in hi-sec mostly because I rarely go to hi-sec.

Amazing how people come up with different labels to call what is just cowardice.

Drink everytime Frying Doom says 'coward' or 'cowardice'! The more you say it, the more likely it is to be true.


On a more serious note, we don't hide behind CONCORD - we embrace their fury.

Your brilliant plan falls apart at the second step. Miners will not ever lift a finger and attempt to kill an Agent (which would be futile anyway, as we are invincible). Why get in a ship other than a mining barge and fit guns to it when they can impotently cry in local or on the forums?
