Crime & Punishment

It's pretty accurate, stop being willfully obtuse.

I mean, the problem here is you just don't know how the process actually works.

No-one in the position to "tackle a titan" would flip for 20b.

Do ...

Do you think there are just loads of titans sitting outside of POS shields and the only thing stopping people burning spies to kill them, is a lack of financial incentive?

You have a lot to learn, your 20b is going to someone who would have killed the Titan anyway.

i.e. Titans are never alone anywhere, at any time, where a random linemember can warp in with a HIC and point it. For a titan to die that wouldn't have anyway, you need a supercap FC to flip. They don't do that for pocket change, you know.

prove that some people genuinely do have more moneyISK than sense.

I don't think he cares, as long as he can claim credit and write a blog post about it. Nothing he had funded has materially improved in it's impact as a result of his financing. As long as he can claim credit via his funding, by the magic of delusion, he is the puppet master the the one responsible. Just like, by the magic of delusion, Noir scammed him

Hey Goons! You never heard the saying "don't interrupt foes when they make mistakes". You should just shut up and laugh as I waste my money. Why do you want to save me from that?

Probably because you know how titans die: dumbly.

There is surely a CFC titan sitting under a public password or corp access shield.
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who gladly bridge out a small gang of "bros" instead of telling them "no official ping, take gates punks".
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who logs out at the very same safespot every time.
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who accepts a fleet inv from "bros" and then asks "why am I warping to a planet"?
There is surely a CFC titan pilot who jumps to a cyno beacon or a cyno opened by a helpful "bro" because his cyno alt is still in Period Basis.

Why?

Because you haven't figured out yet that we are actually the good guys.

I know in your head this made sense. I know you thought, "Here is a witty defence of my vision; so eloquent that my opponents will weep with despair at the inevitable logic of my conclusions!" Unfortunately, for that to be the case you must establish a direct and causal connection between your offering of pocket change, and a meaningful increase in the likelihood of one of these already all too common occurrences.

I'm insulted by the paucity of your bounty, not terrified. You can and should do better.

Quiet pet

Most people aren't very intelligent. While EVE tends to attract more capable folk on average - with CFC admittedly having some mighty fine thinkers - the overall picture is painted much the same.

Case in point: This thread. CFC members are claiming, "I wouldn't drop my allegiance for 20B, so what a silly idea!".
This brings us back to my initial point: People aren't very intelligent.

I have nothing against CFC, but it would seem they don't truly appreciate the fact that many of their members have unaffiliated alts whom could easily jump in with their corp, pop the helpless Titan, and collect the 20B without any CFC member being linked to the operation.

First off, 20bil really isn't all that much. Pretty much any goon who is knowledgeable enough and connected enough to pull this sort of thing off can easily scrounge up 20bil isk.

Second, no need for a goon to be involved at all because CFC is commonly a target for these sort of attacks. Gevlon is just playing the odds the same way Jita undock campers play the odds by wardec'ing the biggest corps. After all, isn't it strange that Gevlon puts a bounty on CFC titans after CFC supers are baited in Daras "just for the fun of it". Next time some one drops on us just for the fun, they can spam that message in local, collect some pocket change, and Gevlon can act like it was his kill.


He is just trying to ride on the coat tails of people who actually do clever things in Eve, and then try to claim all the credit.

Best example of "more isk than sense".
