Because HoodHe had blocked Agent Ebb, the only way they could communicate was through Archie Audene, an impartial mediator. "Communicate" might be overstating it, though.
The possibility of reimbursement isk floated in the ether. Unfortunately, HoodHe was too angry at Ebb to unblock him and discuss terms. But then, the next day, there was a breakthrough:
Said breakthrough came in the form of another gank. Our Agent caught HoodHe mining in the very same asteroid belt as before.
When HoodHe returned to his keyboard and discovered that he had lost another Venture, he finally realized that his problem with Ebb wasn't going away. So the miner unblocked Ebb and resumed talks.
Still unwilling to purchase a mining permit, HoodHe chose instead to threaten Ebb's family. Because Ebb had chosen to gank his Venture, Ebb's entire family was as good as dead.
It was a terrible price to pay for a 605,000 isk mining frigate. HoodHe didn't mess around.
Over time, HoodHe grew more defiant. But, in fact, the miner's curses were no defense against the Code.
HoodHe made another terrible mistake: He revealed that he was back in the exact same asteroid belt.
A few hours later, Agent Ebb's patrol circled back to the Isanamo system. Sure enough, HoodHe wound up losing yet another Venture in the same spot.
HoodHe was truly a creature of habit. This time, however, he was willing to do something he had never done before.
The miner chose to strike up a conversation with Ebb in local chat.
To be continued...
Wow, that's one 'special' shitter. He needs to be ganked daily until he quits.

Double, double toil and trouble;
ReplyDeleteFire burn and caldron bubble.
High grade implant snakes,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Miner's curse with tongue of dog,
It doesn't matter if your hulk is bling,
Explode it will, praise James we'll sing.
For a charm of powerful trouble,
A Miner's temper will boil and bubble.
I shall sing this to the Nakugard locals.
DeleteI shall find this moron with locator agents and arrange for a GM to be in local when I blow up his internet spaceship.
DeleteLol nice rework! "It doesn't matter if your hulk is bling" !!
DeleteIIRC, Didn't a certain CO2 leader get permabanned just for saying that someone should cut off a guy's arm? Imagine if he had threatened or wished real life death on an entire family?
ReplyDeleteIf he was a hisec miner, he probably would be given a replacement ship and extra gametime.
Cut off a guys hands*
DeleteAnd yup, spergX got a ban, and it was well deserved. Anyone, ANYONE who can't control themselves in game should be taught a lesson. GigX deserved what he got, he had been pushing the limits of the ToS for a long time, and 'one set of rules for everyone' right?
EVE is all about control. When you fuk up that big why would you not want a biomass and a fresh start anyway? That's all a ban is.
Classic case proving Einstein's definition of insanity …..
ReplyDeleteIt's a common thing to misattribute - he never said it. That definition first appears in Rita Mae Brown's "Sudden Death" (1983), where she quotes that from a fictional author.
