A few Bats came up with the glorious idea of showing you guys, the people of highsec that as much as we may play our game differently, that we do in fact care about the same issues and want what is best for this virtual world that we all share by attacking the most notorious botting region and inflicting as much pain and suffering as possible to those that violate the EULA and ruin the economy for us all.

no deployment necessary, just jump clone to Deklein and hit 'undock'

Another gem from the same post:

"But if it were the case that he had been ratting just a little too exuberantly for peoples' liking, or if he had offended them by consistently ignoring their conversation requests for a brief window of, say, seventeen or eighteen hours, for instance, then it would be goon-****ing to report him or to kill him. This will land you and your corp in trouble"

Not to mention the ratting bots running around Deklein and surrounding regions Roll


heh let me guess, you read that on Evenew24 the site most famous for publishing a full blown guide on botting.



You guess wrong


"One of our illustrious members (let's call him "Ibertizzle") keeps losing Tengus to Russians and French people. This is a sensitive - even a touchy - subject, so let me say that while he is, indeed, a keen ratter - a very keen ratter if we are honest - we have one rule in Goonswarm: we don't f u c k other goons. Oh and we don't play cop for CCP in their own game by reporting or petitioning goons, either: that's Darius Johnson's job."

You are a re_tard or a liar. The Mittani never said that. I should know.

To clarify, both those quotes were by me. Not the Mittani. They are taken out of context, obviously, to pretend that they endorse botting, but I am not The MIttani, so don't pretend that they are his words or that the very fine post they are taken from is his.

He blued all the major known botting Alliances of the south and wondered why they couldn't hold off one Alliance in Delve.

Maybe you should start to clean up your own ratting bot infested space first, before you start annoying highsecers.

Not only was that post not by Mittens either (again, it was by me), perhaps you should check and find out that the person in question was removed from our alliance.

Maybe not, but I submit that it doesn't matter in the end.

The results, those are what matter, and theses results--even though they may well amount to a squirt of **** in a monsoon--benefit everyone: Not least of all, real miners!

The incursion mothership takedowns were carried out mostly by PVP'ers and the incursion are PVE, so since then anything is possible and that would include highsec miners using arty thrashers for ganks.

Next we will see and honest politician and then we know the world is coming to an end.

Ah so that's how it is then.

The "we are killing bots" is just a cover for your need to bully any one weaker than you and visceral need to blow stuff up?

Disappointing but not unexpected.


Are you one of those psychological health champions who ban winning on school sports days because it will upset the mental state of 6 year olds and discriminate against the children who are not as fast and/or fat?


Hah. Not even close.

I've gone on the record as defending non-consensual pvp, just needs to be balanced to avoid overwhelming other styles of play, like mining.

What I was calling out was the "cover story" of valiantly fighting against botting.

The only end-game content in EVE Online is the crap that makes you rage quit.

Hey, I've already got my beers in the fridge (I actually remembered, even, given how rarely I drink), should be one Hell of a show!

The alliance member (not corp member!) was booted for his botting antics. The quote was not by the mittani. I appreciate your disappointment.

The fact is that every alliance in nullsec and a great many in highsec will find botters in its ranks at some point. How many can not only point to the booted member but also to the wrecks of some 700 dead botters in a matter of 2 weeks as evidence of their position on this. Where are the dead bot wrecks that Cascade Imminent have produced? Show us what you have contributed to this war.

TEST had a similar message put out by our dear leader, the purpose of this message wasn't to point fingers at people; it was just to stop people getting buttmad because they cant find an open sanctum/haven/whatever and started ******* over fellow alliance mates or killing them. Not only is this a diplomatic nightmare, but ******* over your friends/allies based on a vague assumption in a multi-lingual entity is just stupid; the denied convo argument is also weak, how many times can you not be bothered to answer some random pilots convo?

Trying to police the actions of an alliance of over 5000 people is a fools errand, and will just cause unnecessary stress and frustration; I find it hilarious that someone in Cascade Imminent takes botting so seriously when they are surrounded by botters in Nemesis, Pax Romana or whatever that crap alliance is called, Vera Cruz and all those other J4SpaceFriend Alliances down there. ROL has been botting the **** out of Paragon Soul for about 3 years... Again, realistically give me a proposition to police the actions of even smaller 2000 man alliances...

Don't worry I'll wait...
