Crime & Punishment

LOL -> let's think for a second... (ok, I know that's hard for some, but play along with me)

I spend ISK to put a bounty on someone. If I kill him/her and collect the bounty, I get my own ISK back. Hmm...hard to imagine making a profit on that!

Or - maybe I'm trying to encourage other people to kill that pilot. Ahh...for a bounty of 111,111? Seriously? That small a bounty wouldn't even get you on the farthest outskirts of a bounty hunter's radar - especially if the person on whom the bounty has been placed stays in hisec space.

I was in a roam with Jercy in my first month or so in Eve. He put a 100,000 ISK bounty on me and I wondered why would he do something mean like that. I asked one of the others in the group and he said "Are you kidding? A bounty of 100,000 is just something to let other people know you're in the universe. No big deal."

So let me make a suggestion: don't worry about a wee, tiny bounty on your heads, people. And don't even THINK about attacking Jercy. I don't KNOW -- but I'd suspect he'd separate your head from the rest of you without a blink, and chuckle as he watched your dead pod float off into the distance. And if you bring some friends along to help, I'd not be surprised to see their dead pods floating there beside yours.

Like I said, I don't KNOW that - but I'd bet ISK to spacedust on him.

A common thing for pick pockets in large cities is to work in pairs. One pick pocket finds the "mark" and normally will mark him with chalk or something by patting him on the back and complimenting his tie or some thing like that. This is why they are generally called "marks". Then the pick pocket will spot the mark and lift the goods. This allows the two parties to work in tandem but require no communication and can remain separated from one another.


Ask your self... are you being "marked"?

So it happens that I know Jercy. And honestly I hadn't had laugh so hard for years.
Just so you know Jercy is one of the oldest 3rd party dev in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if I learn that he was behind the DDoS of TQ.

@Jercy
Man, you are the master of trollololol... keep giving us 'bounty'

You appear to have been shooting space rocks too long buddy. Maybe the radiation from those mining lasers has affected your brain to the point of not being able to recognise the purpose of an NPC-Corp alt.

On topic: I actually asked Jercy about this directly while on another character and he responded (Can't remember if I saved chat logs)

His response was that he has a macro-enabled mouse (who doesn't these days) with a macro that automatically does something along the lines of:
- Right Click
- Left Click
- 111111
- Enter

If he sees you in local (particularly Jita local) he'll get you. He's also in an NPC corp himself. It's as simple as taking 5-10mins every time he logs on and he can nail everyone in local. My main has been honoured twice.
