Thou Shalt Not Covey, Part 4

Previously, on MinerBumping... Hell hath no fury like a carebear who's lost his isk. Covey Deninard let Busty Lady Ereland borrow three ships. When she failed to return any of them, he arranged to hire mercenaries. Busty Lady beat him to the punch by hiring Agent Krig Povelli to wardec Covey's corp. Bizarrely, Krig Povelli was then caught by Covey's mercs while flying a freighter during the wardec.

Things only got stranger. Krig's freighter was involved in a courier contract with suspiciously high collateral: 8.7 billion isk. Between the freighter and the lost collateral, Krig lost over 10 billion isk.

To: Covey Deninard,

Alright you little shit.. now you cost me real ISK. You will pay dearly for that.

You may think you can hire mercs forever but I can hire mercs too. We'll see who has the bigger wallet and I will never stop the war now. You are going down.

It seemed as though Covey was triumphant. Not only did his mercenaries destroy Krig's freighter and ruin his courier contract, they caused Krig to send him an angry EVEmail--written in a style uncharacteristic of a New Order Agent. Had the New Order suffered its first defeat after more than four years of nothing but victories?

GOT YOU

To: Krig Povelli,

Looks like I can hurt you after all.....lol

not that is bout twice what you took from me.......ready to return what you took or shall I continue....

Covey blamed Krig Povelli for everything Busty Lady had done; apparently he now believed they were the same person all along. Earlier, Covey had told Busty Lady that his arrangement with the mercenaries didn't require him to pay anything unless they inflicted a certain amount of isk damage against the target. They'd certainly earned their paycheck now. Covey was ecstatic.

Behind the scenes, the situation was murkier. Some shady deals were being made. Blissfully ignorant of these proceedings, Covey went on a victory tour. He embarked on an EVEmail-writing campaign with few precedents, even among his fellow rebel carebears.

your pride will be your undoing...your ego is going to be you weak spot....I'm going you hurt you in EVE......make all the threats you want.....I'm an old disabled vet...I fight.....I bleed.......but I take you with me....swallow your pride and return what you took now........that is your only chance.......I do not keep my wealth in isk for you to look up...you have no idea what is coming......but you can stop it....You preyed upon my simpathy....my geneerosity.....these things too make a real man.......you simply do not seem to have learned that.......but I am always willing to teach a small man like you....the train is coming.......the 1st wave will not seem small compaired to the second.......and I can count very high........

For the next few hours, he wrote one EVEmail to Agent Krig after the next. Some of them consisted of paragraphs, while others were one sentence. For the sake of readability, I have merged the shorter EVEmails into paragraphs. And, as you'll soon see, there was one other typographical issue that needed my attention.

I prefer to make you an ally and friend as my actions showed.......but I will make of you an example.......if you make me....return what you took........settle this........it is not isk that will win the day......it is heart......I do not wish to tear you down......but do not mistake that for weakness or unwillinngness.......I will have justice.....I will teeach you in Eve what you failed to leare irl as a man...or I will crush you without mercy........you have become predictable and your ego needs deflatting...I do not require your submision.......only that you return what you scammed, took and preyed upon me for.......all while my hand was outreached in friendship....

Covey is a big fan of ellipses--the longer the better. Many of his ellipses contained 10 or 20 or more periods. For your sake, dear reader, I have shortened the ellipses to a more manageable length.

learn or be destroyed....or go waste your money on merc who hide from the best....but in less than a day the terms will increase many times what you took........I will, after that, the tide of destruction and vengence......no matter the cost. Please......take the hand of friendship ......it is worth more than our pride........ [REDACTED] was my enemy, now they are my sword.......learn from them ....it has been profitable in isk to them in isk far beyond your knowlege....

Covey was confident that if he kept paying his mercenaries, they would continue to inflict dizzying losses upon his enemy. Covey offered Agent Krig a way out.

My merc have much more in intel and recorces than I.....they know your other alts.......you about to stop flying in Eve...tic toc........and my sureender conditions are aobut to be many times my losses to you...tic toc....

ironic isn't it......what you threatened me with is about to be your fate........tic toc........tic toc....

Covey was in the driver's seat, he believed. He'd always failed at PvP before, but with PLEX-funded mercenaries, he'd found the answer.

You are a coward, a theif and a lier........let the game begin for round two.......your surrender will now bit the origiinal loss of 4.3 bil plus fittings will be increasd to X4.....deep pockets should not mine that at all.....4.3 bil X 4 will be my price to "call them off" as you put it.....enjoy my ships skid mark........

Lesson one:.......if you cant do the time or pay the fine....don't do the crime...smooches........not on line ........didn't get the essage........NMP........(not my problem)......lol

FYI.......incace you can't do math......that's 17.2 bil to stop this now....not a problem for "Deep Pockets"...right?........

The price for calling off Covey's mercs would be a steep one: Over 17 billion isk. It was an unreasonable offer, but Covey was motivated by revenge. He still felt the sting of Busty Lady's betrayal.

Where are your mercs....hiding in dock?.....lmao.....come one big bully....real men and real soldiers "complete the mission"....at all costs.......

I bacame disable vet from real war........you are nothing....but an arm chair want-a-be...I was in Afganastan in 79 when the Russians came in....that is how I bacame disabled vet....my specialty was WMD war...you are just an arm chair jocky.....pay what you owe 17.2 bil or leave eve......

it's heart dirt bag...not isk...be friend and pay up or run and hide....punk

The "I'm a disabled war veteran" square was retired from Miner Bingo nearly four years ago. That hasn't stopped carebears from randomly injecting references to their alleged military service into conversations about EVE, though.

does your wife know you have to squat when you piss......lol.......no doublt she knows much more than that...lol.....come fight with your isk........lol.......

Pay me 17.2 Bil isk and then you can go be a scummy scammer in peace.......lol

Covey was drunk with his imagined power and success. Would he be satisfied by the war's conclusion, or was he in for a rude awakening?

To be continued...
