Btw there's reasons for this hostility. You're just not seeing it.

I have no hatred for anybody personally and hope that all fellow players of this game have a good time.

What I do rage against are the false paradigms created and fostered by people who have managed to master the strawman tactics of putting everybody in the position to be accused of being butthurt when in fact they have positioned themselves for more epic butthurt than even the most AFK carebear auto piloting a faction fit hauler in Eudema.

Whenever you post feel free to include in your credentials that you speak on behalf myself as well.

@ all the ones who laugh about Harry : at least he has the balls.
If there was more players like him EVE would be more interesting.

@ Herzog Wolfhammer : great post sir.

That said, i think that Zimmy Zeta from Test is right : if you make it sound like a private vendetta, your movement will never grow.
I for one was playing with the idea to join your effort since a few weeks, because i think it's the right thing to do. But it's not just about shooting the players of the big alliances, it's also about federating independant "small" players, and that indeed means to get over your ego and overagressivity. A bit of elegance and curtesy would bring you much more credibility.That's where i humbly suggest some improvment.

With all my sympathy,
Tao's player

Harry is actually doing what everybody says people should be doing.

And encountered some of the standard asshattery "kill everything that moves" mentality of nullsec.

He writes about it.

Now, first, there is no "personal vendetta". You neckbeards need to stop acting like highsec miners who got ganked, acting like this program is personal. We have here a game where you can put weapons on most of the ships except those specifically designed for other roles (Badgers are an exception it seems). Just seeing all of the butthurt over "carebears go to nullsec" is well worth the time and ISK I put into supplying Harry with hundreds of ships. That's right, he's the Energizer Bunny now. And I'm not the only benefactor. Heck there are others who put me to shame and have provided things I can't talk about.

I'm positively chuffed at the image of the rich highsec fat-cats conspiring atop their filthy lucre before finally sending forth... Harry Forever.

You'd think all those billions could buy you a better class of mercenary.

Asymmetric warfare is the future of Eve. Get with it or be sad panda.

Lots of groups do this already. None of them are as clueless as Harry and they all inflict far greater economic damage than Harry. Asymmetric warfare has been a favoured PVP lifestyle in low and null sec since the beginning. Check out groups like Rooks and Kings, BL and Darkside just to mention the 1st three that entered my head.
Some people are very very skilled at this and understand how it works. Harry is the opposite of this.
Fleeting up with a cloaky ship is a standard tactic for locating a cloaky ship. Harry should have known this.
Putting a cloak on a ganking ship not designed for a cloak delays targeting so much that the only things you will catch are cyno ships. He most likely also has warp core stabs on it too. These are some of the reasons (apart from the spamming of the forums with ill thought through ideas) that Harry is mocked so often.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

And it would be much better to join a cfc corp where you can hide your lack of skills behind vast numbers.

Where you join because you have nor need any skill.

You can't actually tell me there is any skill involved when you outnumber anyone else by huge margins.

So go on and talk about skill.

Harry is playing his game, so you go play yours.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The rules:
2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Also, you could also consider continuing this discussion in Crime & Punishment or even CAOD, as the rules of what you can post there (and in what context) are a bit broader there, as opposed to GD.

rediculous

This word. Come on, dude.

The word is RID-IC-U-LOUS. RID ICK YOU LOUS... The first syllable is RID... Not Ree. Rid. Ridiculous.

Before you say "troll", you probably don't understand that word anyways. Before you say "derail", you probably don't understand that anyway. And, Jimmy crack corn... because I don't care.

MY point is that YOUR point can not be taken seriously when you cannot present it in an intelligent way.

Whatever your point was, is no longer important to me. Call me what you will (Grammar Police). And dismiss this if you wish. Just know that your ideas and thoughts are also dismissed because you can't grasp a simple concept.

Thank you.

Sol

Before the ISD also call this a troll: This is NOT intended to get an "emotional response". It IS intended to get an "intelligent response" in the form of "oh yeah, he's right. I should take more care in my posts if I wish them to be taken seriously."

Thank you.

Good luck with that, my friend. I've tried making the "don't appear like an idiot and people are less likely to treat you as one" entreaty before, and it has only elicted being blocked. Although, in another sense, even were you to succeed it would be futile, as that would force others to actually look at what is contained in his vain ravings and absurd ideas, which would possibly get him further trolled and ridiculed.

And he's got some lucky rabbit's foot to not have been banned by now, to boot. I have literally 5 screenshots of his debut week in the forums calling numerous people, myself included, a very impolite six letter word that he used spaces to get past the filter. I presume he remains solely because he is amusing. Perhaps he has managed to play the victim to a sufficient degree?

As much as i appreciate posts which are correctly written, i think that there is an essential point you have forgotten :
A huge amount, maybe even the majority of the players, are not native from an english speaking country. So i think you could be a bit more tolerant and open-minded. Writing with errors doesn't always mean that we are lazy or stupid. We are simply maybe not writing in our mother language.

Nope. Harry is from Canada.
