You're still using the word "le...@ Gevlon<br /><br />You're still using the word "leeches" without giving much of an explanation why it's suitable. At this point, given that you don't exactly spend a lot of time mining yourself, I'm wondering if someone (possibly James 315 via his site) has simply told you AFK miners are bad and they harm the active miners who put in all the work, and you've immediately associated them with the honour leeches you're familiar with from WoW BGs. I've said before that an AFK miner still puts in as much effort as their at-keyboard equivalent, but allow me to provide an example:<br /><br />Miner A and Miner B are both in an Orca-boosted fleet, mining in Mackinaws because they offer better yield than the Skiff and a much stronger tank than the Hulk's, strong enough to deter casual gankers (though not a large force like those fielded by the New Order). <br /><br />For Miner A, the mining process consists of warping to the fleet, targeting a juicy asteroid, turning their lasers on and then stepping away from their computer and watching TV for 17 cycles, then coming back and moving their ore to the Orca, then returning to the TV for the next 17 cycles.<br /><br />For Miner B, the mining process consists of warping to the fleet, targeting a juicy asteroid, turning their lasers on and then tuning out the mining process as they browse websites through the ingame browser for 17 cycles, minimising the browser, moving their ore to the Orca, then returning to the browser for the next 17 cycles.<br /><br />If you would prefer, you could substitute any other activity for Miner A watching TV, and any ingame activity that doesn't involve moving the ship for Miner B browsing the internet.<br /><br />Explain to me please who Miner A is leeching off with their style and why it is inherently worse than Miner B?Hivemindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023203654304122548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-51746009653712775342013-01-10T19:48:16.259+01:002013-01-10T19:48:16.259+01:00I like the idea that they are "Gevlon's s...I like the idea that they are "Gevlon's soldiers".

You don't care about ganking and violence, they do. They give you what you want - fixing economy. You give them what they want - be it a protection racket, excuse, lots of easy targets. It's a win-win.<br /><br />It's really smart, instead of trying to fight social, pointless and stupid behaviour (like you were doing before), now you are manipulating it for your own goals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-23782166525760379772013-01-10T08:48:50.533+01:002013-01-10T08:48:50.533+01:00Thank you and welcome.

You have finally found a purpose of violence and bloodshed (even though violence and bloodshed without purpose is better if you ask me - in an internet spaceship game). And so, I have resubbed my two accounts today. My gank alt, veteran of the Gallente ice interdiction, Burn Jita, and Hulkageddon V, will be joining the New Order shortly. And damn, I just realised I still have a huge pile of Catalysts, Tornados and blasters of all kinds. It will be an honor to finally meet you, and kill besides you (in an internet spaceship game) - it's been a long time since I found this blog that helped me escape the hell of ICC-4/12-forever.<br /><br />Death to all icebots!Steel H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02051764931456770746noreply@blogger.com
