Some people play EVE when what they really wanted was cookie clicker. I have no idea why they complain when they get blown up rather than cookies.

So today something amazing happened...

I would mention it but however I feel that it might detract from various aspect of the "Fun" and this is not DF-12bay fun... We are talking winning fun!

HUZZAH FUN! GO FUN GO! I owned a horse it would be called FUN so I could bet on it! FUN IS GOOD FUN IS NICE! GO FUN GO! FUN WINS!


Also from my rough calculations the top 3 are 50+ and I think #1 is around 70.... my math is bad though so please do not hire me to do rocket science, I learned that I can not via Kepler.

Also something else I learned today is that a really spicy meat loaded pizza (NYC style not Chicago casserole style) will give me heartburn after I dump a more pepper on it that I should have because it was perfect as it was.

AFK more milk... (FYI, it doesn't help but I keep trying!)

My grandma and your grandma were sitting by the fire. My grandma told your grandma "I'm gonna set your flag on fire." Talking about, "Hey now ! Hey now!" Iko Iko, someday.

I really really don't understand the logic of "I lost a space ship in a space ship shooting game, I am not playing anymore". This is not even the level of "go back to WoW". You can die in WoW if memory serve correctly. Its more like go back to farmvile if you don't want anything bad to happen.

What is it that people want when they mine. I can write up a quick web site where they can click a button and a number next to a $ will increase each time. I will even put some pretty NASA images in background if you want.

newb or not. Player Player interaction is the whole point of a MMO. And a game where shooting other internet space pixels is a big part of the game, well yea expect to die every now and then.


It goes even beyond that, think about it: Even if you play something completely harmless like Sim City, you still have to content with catastrophes, rising crime, pollution and other problems. So like Eve-industrialists and Miners likewise have to content with opposition. People attracted to those professions I would logically assume would be prepared for defending themselves and their assets because of this.

But then people aren't logcial and you get the situation of people in a spaceship game complaining of having obstacles to overcome. But without those obstacles, technically you wouldn't have a game. Even Solitaire has the option of losing in the end, those people however think they're entitled to winning constantly.

This isn't about miners getting ganked, stop diverting. This is about hundreds of rookies being griefed.

Whats to think about? "Venture killing in highsec" yeah because that doesnt sound like killing rookies, stop trying to cover it as a rookie comp because no rookie is even going to have a chance at winning any prizes in this comp, code is pathetic and this comp proves it

Hello this is Ashley Frea,

I speak for the people that lost a ship due to not understanding game mechanics. If you feel your Venture was lost due to the Code, or anyone that lost a hull due to EvE players participating in this event please send me the kill mail via eve mail and after my board approves the mail, you will most likely receive a ISK reimbursement to comp it*.

This is a get the players to try again program. My program is funded via personal Plex. I have done this in the past when I felt the cause to retain subscriptions is needed I accept all venture loses for review.

All comments and concerns can be eve mailed to me.

Ashley Frea

I didn't ask for the names of 100 pilots who lost their ventures, I asked for the names of 100 rookies who were griefed by this competition. Given his claim that "hundreds" are suffering it shouldn't be difficult for him to produce a list. Heck, I'll even split his list with him and we can contact 50 each and get them to file petitions because griefing is against the rules and it's especially bad when newbies are the victims.

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff

LOL i was in Amarr yesterday. Some CODE douches shoots ventures there.

So i grabbed my venture and flew to belt...

3 CODE guys or they followers just passed by me,

Few minutes later , they posted kill mail of venture on local. Victim was 6 day old char... next few hours was the same. (3 day old, 2 week old victims etc).

OK, maybe im too old char to be shoot by CODE., So i logged to my NPC corp alt (1 year old).. It was the same, CODE guys just passed by. They were obviously searching for newbies only.

So NO this is not about venture kill contest This competition IS ABOUT KILLING NEWBIES. Its pure fact. So stop throwing this sh*tty propaganda and stop lie to everyone here. Roll

If this is legit then I salute you, sir, especially if you're including advice on how to avoid being ganked.

No it's not, you just read into things. They didn't you were there, or you would have died gloriously. Next time post in local that you're in a Venture sitting at belt x and see what happens.

LOL You know that i wrote it on local ?

here is my log (you can verify it from other dudes logs sitting in Amarr on that day and time)

[ 2014.08.07 14:07:32 ] TharOkha > hey CODE.. im mining in Amarr VIII - Asteroid Belt 3 a
[ 2014.08.07 14:07:36 ] TharOkha > and i dont have a permit
[ 2014.08.07 14:07:41 ] TharOkha > oh my what nao?

and you know what happened next?....NOOOTHIIIING Big smile

Some random CODE. member just warped to belt and flew off after few seconds. (realizing that im not newbie)

All Amarr local just LOLed on how pathetic and lame the CODE and it supporters are. :D

The simple fact that they ignore older players in ventures and that they focus only on few days old newbies makes this competition and CODE.-------- EVE FAIL OF THE YEAR Big smileBig smile

so your first hand experience was that they actively ignored older players ans specifically went after rookies.

hay CCP, whats the definition of rookie griefing again?

I am pretty sure blowing up space ships in a game about blowing up space ships is not griefing anymore than shooting someone in a FPS is griefing.

Noob systems and specifically repeatedly targeting someone is what is claimed griefing IIRC.

Seriously? Anything you don't like is griefing now?

And lets looks at some stats. This thread: 298 posts, 4956 views and 408 likes.
my much more awesome competition: 25 replies, 532 views and 19 likes.

Seems people want this more than the other..... and at the start I had a bigger 1st prize.

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.
