Highsec Miner Grab Bag #362

Breaking News: After years of intense procrastination, the royal We are pleased to have finished renovating the Newe Halaima Art Gallery. We will be once again updating this venerated page, so submit your finest imagery! We now return to our regularly scheduled grab bag.

I often hear from random miners.

They love getting ganked.

Like, seriously…

It’d like be a real shame if I like killed them all.

Hey, you’ve still got plenty to teach me—I was neither surprised nor caught off guard.

That said, you’ve effectively shattered my dream of flying a Marauder. I won’t be using one anytime soon; I’ve dropped it off in Jita. I’ll leave this cursed ship in your hands—or perhaps for your future targets. It took me a year to finally decide to get one, and I only flew it for barely two hours yesterday, plus one mission today. So, in a way, you’ve taken me down. GF! =) You win—no more Marauder for me. o7 Take care, see you around, and maybe drop by my channel to say hi sometime? =)

I’m making a real difference in EvE Online.

Believe it or not, most miners want a permit.

They also enjoy my blog.

They won’t be mad if I kill their friends…

Of course, some miners are crybabies!

The best thing to do is exterminate them.

Hey, here’s crazy Ivan…

Aiko Danuja, you have 24 hours to cease the operations of the alliances “Safety.” and “Safety. Net,” and to shift their allegiance to the side of the Highsec miners.

Failure to comply will result in the destruction/disbandment of the alliance by my forces within one year from the date of this letter.

That’s right…

Furthermore, you owe me and my corporation approximately 400,000,000 ISK for ships destroyed by your associates, as well as about 200,000,000 ISK for the time spent dealing with you.

Additionally, you owe the Highsec miners approximately 200,000,000,000 ISK for the damage caused over the course of many years.

That’s right!

A refusal to make the payment, even if the first condition is met, will likewise be regarded as an act of non-compliance.

Fulfillment of both conditions entails transferring 200,600,000,000 ISK to Dezaluka’s account, as well as acknowledging total capitulation by having each member of the Safety alliance send an in-game mail to Dezaluka containing a formal apology.

Everybody better apologize!

Yah, I read it bro.

I sure do get some weird emails…

Chinese Ganking

The high-value ships you’re flying in Gao’an are nothing more than Titan fragments for me.

GoingToDed > Hey everyone, I’ve arrived! All Chinese nationals, get out—I don’t want to accidentally harm any of my own people.

They literally call them ‘rape’ gangs (their word, not mine).

GoingToDed > Miners, marauders, faction battleships, cruisers—I hunt down all high-value targets.

GoingToDed vowed to purge Taiwanese miners.

As always, the miners complained.

Caeryn Lupercal > Go out and touch some grass, you insufferably boring, ambush-obsessed lowlife. You talentless troublemakers.

In any language, carebears are crybabies.

Vexor is the Chinese scout…

Caeryn Lupercal > Oh dear, you poor thing—what a crybaby.
Taiwan is a free country. The 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre is an incredibly ugly stain on your nation’s history. Xi Jinping looks exactly like Winnie the Pooh.

This is a sensitive topic.

Vexor Sigma > Thanks for sharing your unique, absolute-shit political and racist remarks. I’ll be sure to report your comments to the GMs exactly as they are. Enjoy the game.

Vexor Sigma > Keep spouting your moronic nonsense

Caeryn Lupercal raised a familiar complaint.

Caeryn Lupercal > Your abysmal legion description fails to mention the very activities you seem to take such delight in—attacking defenseless miners. Your practice of “clearing” entire star systems of any players who aren’t of your own nationality is chillingly reminiscent of how you “cleared” the protesters in Tiananmen Square.

Let’s check out this legion.

The best alliance perks in the entire universe: generous new-player benefits, comprehensive loss-reimbursement policies, and a wide array of rewards for participation (PAP). High-quality combat operations: specialized anti-gank/skirmish squads and elite, standardized capital ship fleets.

I always appreciate a good anti-gank squad.

Caeryn Lupercal > Go ahead and revel in the thrill of harassing peaceful players—you represent the absolute worst and most detestable part of this game.

I told them we are from North Korea.

Pengxi VI > Haha, the North Korean team is way better than us.

That’s right.

Pengxi VI > In Western parlance, the world is suffering from overcapacity; eliminating the miners in Gao’an could help curb this overcapacity.

That’s right!

GoingToDed > This kind of behavior is truly despicable—trying to mine in high-sec without paying the management fee.

I think they like my alliance.

Pengxi VI > This right here is the Islamic State of the EVE universe, brother 🙂

Pengxi VI > This place is the “Northern Myanmar” of the EVE universe.

Pengxi VI > Absolutely brutal :）

=BONUS CHINESE LESSON=

Vote4Aiko

Nobody cares about the CSM.

There’s better content in EvE Online.

What do people actually care about?

Aiko Danuja is the only one who matters.

That’s right.

A lot of people have been thinking…

They kinda like me.

I guess I’m pretty great.

That’s right…

I’m the most beautiful woman in the galaxy!

I literally am.

You love it…

What do you think about that?

Aren’t I the best thing that ever happened to you?

Enjoy that.

Indeed.

Halloween Online

Oh, hey there!

I’m Captain-General of the Kimotoro Directorate!

It’s a special time for everyone.

Just imagine…

Recently, we held the Aiko Danuja Cosplay Conference Contest!

An honorable mention goes to ‘lawful paladin’ Hohanonsos.

I can’t remember who this is, but they look great!

You might say I have a certain theme…

A lot of people are into it.

ChatGPT even submitted an entry.

We gave every contestant a chance to perform their best Aiko.

Dozens of players tried to win.

However, only one pulled off a convincing Aiko.

Ange Du Matin accidentally tapped into that endless Aiko isk stream.

You can get rich looking like this.

I can’t even tell the difference…

…words of wisdom!

Congrats to our winner!

Here’s a bonus treat for what’s left of the Robot Hand Drinking House.

You might be dead to me, but I’m not!

That’s right…

Nice Website

Welcome to my best blog.

It’d be a real shame if something happened to it.

Miners are always threatening me…

These are actual losers in real-life.

Like, for real.

Innocent winkface 😉

That’s right.

Here’s a funny killmail.

Nice try champ.

There’s plenty more to come…

07 capsuleers!

Where’s Aiko?

Everybody wants to have fun.

Afterward, they often have questions.

Fortunately, I’m here to help.

You can find me in my ingame channel.

It’s called: Why Was I Ganked?

It’s basically my front yard.

I sit on the porch, and shoot miners.

My friends like to hang out and chill.

Everybody is invited…

It’s a place to learn and grow!

No matter what side of the gank you are on…

…this is where I be!

That’s right.

o7 capsuleers!

MASS MINER

Today, we met a mass miner.

Nagato NIshi > no one told me or warn me
Nagato NIshi > please warn me
Silver’s Revenge > you just had your warning

His various alts were in violation of the law.

Nagato NIshi > before you act like that
Nagato NIshi > i can leave you dont want me to mine here
Nagato NIshi > i think i gonna stop playing
Nagato NIshi > i just bought the ship you destroy
Nagato NIshi > thats all i make yesterday
Nagato NIshi > im noob

He finally decided to confess.

Nagato NIshi > i just played this again last 2 weeks
A Mama Kitty > What inspired you to come back?

Nagato Nishi is a convicted serial botter.

What happened?

Nagato NIshi > they told i was cheating
Nagato NIshi > cus i outproduce the enemy faction
Nagato NIshi > with arty shells
Nagato NIshi > got ban

Now he has a new plan.

Nagato NIshi > now im want to learn this game and see if i can be ban here and i see this game have a option
Nagato NIshi > thats make me easier
Nagato NIshi > i can overproduce here if i want
Nagato NIshi > if i have super computer or high end pc i can destroy the economy of this game

His only concern is Highsec ganking.

Nagato NIshi > where i can pay 200m?

I know how to play this game.

Katabe Haya Yatolila > btw why you guys collect isk? for?

Technically, he isn’t even botting…

He’s just got some kind of special keyboard.

Katabe Haya Yatolila > can marry you?
Katabe Haya Yatolila > you sound sexy to me

Nagato NIshi > its like specialized keyboard
Nagato NIshi > i just made it
Nagato NIshi > its risky you know
A Mama Kitty > So the keyboard runs macro software.
Nagato NIshi > you almost there

Is it possible to automate Highsec mining?

Sources say, yep.

That’s right.

So we let him mine.

A few moments later…

He understood the TRUTH.

We don’t allow bots in Highsec.

Oh right, he’s not a ‘real’ bot.

He denounced me.

His alt denounced the Scam’nGank lifestyle.

They denounced the CODE.

He vowed to sell his keyboard to other miners.

He vowed to raise an army of bot script AI miners.

He urged others to follow in his footsteps.

At least he got a mining permit.

Now he’s going back home…

… or maybe he will join Fraternity?

Like it or not, the bots are coming…

…and they know we are the enemy!
