We are talking about Ventures, i don't think anyone except them to win the war, and it's safe to say everyone is going to die, but you never know what they might run into before that happens.

It's probably going to be fun, educational and with a little luck it might even be positive win/lose isk ratio.

Meh. The predictions are likely true - We're all going to die in a pointless fire somewhere short of the goal. But really, the journey ought to be worth it. Maybe even epic, if things turn out well - my most fun ever was being chased in a pod virtually halfway across empire space by a failed gank-target. BOY was he mad! - AFTER I'd lol-failed, no less. :D

So - If there's a big fire, and my hull goes up in smoke, I may yet have some fun. Maybe even more fun than if everything goes perfectly.



This, and also why we are using essentially throw away ships that are essentially free*



(*since several people have asked how it is free. Simple, buy some mining gear and mine some ore before we leave. This covers the cost of the ship > fit > pod/clone making the event cost you nothing but time.)

I think the worst case scenario is if you don't die and end up having to fly all the way back. If the timing works out I'll be there.

Either way, I think this will end hilariously.

Lots of people telling you it won't work, and probably you'll die long before you get there. But good on you for trying. Hope at least fun is had. And please consider live streaming it Lol

If anyone wants to come along and livestream it, I should be heading down to Fountain in about 4 hours or so.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Undocking twice in one week? There must be something you really want in Fountain.

Oh god.

Not sure what all the bashing is for tbh, if people want to organize and go welp themselves let them, hopefully you'll all enjoy it. No need to get all worked up about it.

Many of the people bashing are probably the same ones who complain nothing ever happens in EVE.

Hohoho nice initiative, props to you.

However if you ever make it to pass the R&K's smartbombing BlackOps camps, if you ever make it to destination without loosing 2/3 of your fleet to Bombing diks, someone somewhere will be in an instant alpha shooting stuff/fleet/gang trying to get as much kills as they can.

Cool

Awesome initiative still to take those pubbies out of high sec take the fresh air of freedom in null sec and make them enjoy pewpew
