Pretty much. I don't really feel like playing against eight of CrimeWave Syndicate's best for 100m. How about any of you?

EvE is built on stuff like this, man. You're going to be stolen from, you're going to be backstabbed, and you're going to me cheated (most likely).

If it's going to be a real issue with you, then you might not want to stick around.

I'd like to ask the previous corps if they are missing any isk?

Also 150 kills seems ridiculous, even the worst players can luck into a tank or drop ship getting crushed by the deployment ships.

I'd like to ask why you've been jumping from corporation to corporation. I also see your current one was made very recently, on the 28th.

Too many tactics to guarantee at least one kill. And I guarantee no one is going to pay up once the isk is in their wallet.

One dude should go play something else. This whole thing is ridiculous and your logic is insane. I'm out.

Dude, where interacting with simulated version of an alternate realtiy. Loosen up on the logic demands.

I'm pretty sure he's calling you short-sighted and naive.

Which you are being. No one will seriously accept this wager when all it takes is a lucky shot from a Forge Gun to OHK any suit ever. They'll lock down all the NULLs, take your money, and walk away.

Also: Team play is exactly what nearly all of DUST is being built around. It's not a lonewolf game, and will never be designed for that. If you aren't interested in teamplay, then I must admit that I do not think that this game is for you.

First real scam in DUST?

Too obvious, but I'm sure a lot of the soft targets here on DUST will fall completely for it.

Remote explosives or other traps can harass a superior force and cause them to lose a few clones without seriously affecting their ability to control an area. In that way DUST is working as intended.

[quote=Jotun Hiem]I have to explain something to you about a lone wolf. It's a misconception that what they do does not help the team. In many cases, not all, the lonewolf wants to win just as bad, if not more then the pack mentality.

This mindset see things that perhaps the pack may not, and the only way to take action on it, is to stray off.

If you mean lock down the nulls by hacking objectives, hacking would not be allowed in this match. Nothing, no supply depots, blasters, objectives.

Some people feel safe in numbers during a match, and yet from the sounds of it, they are surrounded by a gaming community of shadiness and nobody should to be trusted. I can't let that contradiction just slide.

I'm an honest person.

I'm an honest person. Is that so rare?

If people want to call me naive for getting my isk taken, then okay. But the way I look at is I wouldn't be spending real money on the game in the future.

Who knows. If the corp did pay out, maybe they'd then have me as a member and that money would follow back in . . .

Doth protest too much.

The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is a large species of lizard found in Indonesian islands... it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres (10 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 150 kilograms (330 lb). Their unusual size has been attributed to island gigantism, since no other carnivorous animals fill the niche on the islands where they live.

As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live. Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals. Their group behaviour in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world. The diet of big Komodo dragons mainly consists of deer, though they also eat considerable amounts of carrion. Komodo dragons also occasionally attack humans in the area of West Manggarai Regency where they live in Indonesia.

The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a member of the Canidae family of the mammalian order Carnivora.

Dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals.

...the dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and shows more behavioral and morphological variation than any other land mammal. For example, height measured to the withers ranges from 15.2 centimetres (6.0 in) in the Chihuahua to about 76 cm (30 in) in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called "blue") to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark ("red" or "chocolate") in a wide variation of patterns; coats can be short or long, coarse-haired to wool-like, straight, curly, or smooth.

I'm not that great a player, and I could win as the solo player with these rules and running only Blueprints (including my Merc Pack gear).

That said, it's an interesting challenge, and I'd be interested in seeing it happen with someone.

My corp doesn't (yet) have a full complement of 8 players available within the same timezone, and we're nowhere near the 100 million ISK it would take to go after this, but I'll talk to some of them and see if we can come up with something. You may or may not hear from me at some point in the future. Whatever happens, I wish you luck.

I know.

what is that?

Let us, for the sake of my amusement, pretend the OP is the underdog (pun intended). He is a dog, versus 8 komodo dragons, who have claws, muscular tails, possess patience and ability to camouflage, serrated teeth and saliva with 50 strains of bacteria that causes almost all bitten to die of blood poisoning.

1v8, he has no chance. 1v1, still, no chance.

But this isn't the case, is it? There are 150 dogs that the 8 komodo dragons have to kill.

All without one dragon dying.

The hunter becomes the hunted.

There's no telling how this kind of match would go. I'm mean I can picture things. And I'm sure some corps out there are picturing things too.

I've heard some of these corps talking in matches and they have incredible communication. A lot of what I would be doing would be predictable when I was hoping it was not. So I'm wondering how I would adapt when I'm cornered time after time after time.

I imagine some of my deaths would be immediate. But I would have to do some thinking in between spawns. Meanwhile they have eyes on.
