Yes, have fun selling those topes you bought for 1400 ISK. We already sold ours. Twisted

A brilliant catchpenny scheme that netted us billions, before we got out and popped the bubble behind us.

You said "brilliant" when you meant "moderately annoying effort that didnt pay for the time invested."

I did not buy at 1400. I bought lower. I made money.

Now we see if this "news" is just another market manipulation....

Uh no, it did. The goon rich folks made stupid amounts of isk for tiny amounts of effort, way way more than was spent paying the gankers who made a decent amount of isk off bounties and scamming the criminally idiotic (and that's just in isk, in the most valuable currencies of 'having fun playing eve' and 'making people cry' the gankers are truly wealthy, just ask Mittani about his 83 successful ganks or Atrum about his 382).

All the goons involved in the scheme made out like bandits, but do hold to your irrational just world theory. Denial is almost as fun to read as conspiracy theory Big smile

Which is almost as fun as reading Brazilian S&M Porn.

So you are saying the leader was great at exploiting the work of the rank and file by cashing in on their ability to time the market - well duh.

If you want to call exploiting your own alliance mates brilliant I guess thats up to you.

Sorry, looking in Sinq Laison prices have not seen a big drop yet.
In fact it is still as high as 10 days ago when it WAS happening.

And yes, I saw those goonie posts about it......but for some reason I have trouble trusting them. Not sure why.
This could just be a scam to get us to drop our stocks and further the price inflation. :)

The possibility does exist, however remote. But, meh, they're busy with something else now.
Also, it'll take a while before people start pulling their iceminers around to Gallente ice space, it was still ongoing (and probably more intense than usual) during the entire weekend, allegedly.

You could notice that the political map shows up picking up sov in a dozen systems in branch and the threads about us going to war and intuit that we might be busy enough elsewhere to make maintaining the blockade less of a priority,

Or you could lose isk betting that we're going to continue and the sotg recording was a fake and be really mad about it on the forums.

This is funny. Nothing invested in the current trend. (Yes I did buy up about a billion in ice at 300-350 and unloaded it all at the 400-450 range.)
So I am out as it were.

And Akita, I agree meh.
They failed to reach the tipping point, and thus got bored before it got really good.

Yeah, I was pretty :yawn: about the fact they didn't even manage to hit the "lazy 2300" I was talking about when they touted it for the first time all official-like.

Why don't you ask white noice about that?
2000 pilots from the CFC alliance ran into Branch region to burn it down and take more Tech moons. Also, the reimbursement is dropped and Concorde kills give no insurance.

The Ice Interdiction is dead for now. Just wait for it to drop down to 700 or so. Will take just a few days
