The thing about the truth is that it's universal, and often quite obvious once you hear it. Because of this, the truth can sound like something anyone would say, when you recognize it as the truth (even if you won't admit it). So it can sometimes sound a little unoriginal.

Lies, on the other hand, are the products of individual minds, divorced from the universality of truth, and so they often appear to be original and unique. But, original or not, they are still lies.

Personally speaking, I prefer the unoriginal to the untruthful any day.

EVE is not a Science.

EVE is a Judiciary. Judicial matters are measured in Evidence.


BS! You're 180 degrees out there.

Science is about truth, as established by logic and empirical evidence.

But according to Law, the truth is whatever lawyers and the police can convince a jury to believe.

Not. The. Same. Thing. At all.

I'm all for ganking robots. For example, this article made me smile. But, I know that Eve needs miners. Love them or hate them, you can't live without them. Miners are what keep the ganker ships flowing and the 00 fights going. If I find botters, I'll probably work on murdering them. But, I'm not going to go out of my way to ruin an indy crop's day. I have better things to do with my time.

Gentlemen please continue to gank miners and make them leave that stupid activity.

Thanks to all of you minerals prices now are getting interesting, all those dozen titans waiting to be build can't find enough tritanium, they're crying at this very right moment about tritanium so do ahead and blow those large alliances wallet, bring it to 50isk or 100isk unit, when you can afford 100B fittings you can put the effort to build your uber toy.


Malcanis law will obviously be applied but at least noobs/real miners can get a good part of the cake. Just blockade/hold all tritanium you guys can and let it hit the reccod price of 100isk unit.

This would give you, high sec miners with some bomber skills, the oportunity to get some revenge and go there where they mine in null give them for their money, block system activity/bots eventually blow some of them.
You will not win the isk war but you will deliciously make them beg for tritanium Lol

Wooohoooo

Great read, informative and entertaining! Regardless of what side you are on, you have to respect the freedom Eve gives you to pursue such a wide range of goals, goals which have widespread effects on the playerbase as a whole. Good stuff +1

Agreed. What I normally make in a month, I've made in one week. Keep up the Lords work, gankers. Big smile

Stock pile it gentlement, don't sell it for now., for this to be interesting let pawns sell at lower prices and wait the 10isk/U price to start selling by small increments so traders/holders fight eatch other and artificially increase even more the value of your hard time spent shooting rocks.

You can make it skyrock if you are patient enough and smart enough, drones alloys WILL be removed and other than rating/mining null bots no one on his decent mind would go there take risks to make alreay gazillionaire alliances even richer from your efforts with crap return for you, the one making all the effort because skills, the one that lately was just another fancy km in their elite pvp killboard and the joke they had fun of by posting on official forums.

But James 315 wants a monoculture, where everyone is a PvPer, griefer or ganker, and all other in-game professions are marginalized and eradicated. That's why the guy is a t**l. Or didn't you actually read his post from start to pompous, tedious finish?

Forums are for the Lulz. I read it as fiction, cause EVE is just a game so it is just fiction as well. None of it is really real.

Duh, of course CCP is in favor if ganking miners. The weak ones leave the game but what CCP REALLY WANTS is for EVERYONE to BUY PLEX and then PEW PEW IT AWAY. Rinse, repeat.

How fricken stupid are you people?

I worry for this civilization of ours, where being asked to read anything longer than the text on the back of a cereal box is considered a troll.

Surprise surprise, the Twitter generation is full of twits.


tl;dr

You're an idiot.
