Mining op was a huge success tonight. Had around 50-60 people total in miners/defense fleets. Even had our new pubbie friends join with us. Looking forward to more in the future when more people are strip mining.

Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut
The Saga of SniperMonkey29

Scenario: Just 50 people honking it up in null, having a blast eating rocks and protecting the space where people are eating rocks. When all of a sudden, this unprotected Mammoth comes barreling through without an escort.



Well, two Aura Warp Core stabs aren’t quite enough, so I reach out as a friendly gesture.



I gave him my best sales pitch, and behold without even test-driving it, he wants to upsell himself!



We all know the confusion between Corps and Alliances, so I’m willing to let this slide. Unfortunately, given recent isk-related confusion issues, I don’t quite think Jazz is the right person to talk to here.



The other corp leader seemed offline as well, so my messages to them (went into the void? Maybe they’re stored like email? Who knows.). But SniperMonkey won’t quit.



Indeed they would be silly. A quick action shot while Mr. Monkey deliberates, we can see local chat talking up the value of permits.



Continuing to provide great customer service, I check in with my friend to make sure his needs are being met.



I want to give a big thanks to all the hard work our enforcement team does, ensuring that our permit process provides real value.



Great! Another customer! As I watch and wait, my tensions rise...



Not a problem, the UI is kind of tricky. Here’s the contract up.



And me graciously eating the contract-creator portion of the tax. Why should I trip over pennies on my way to space-dollars?



But there was still one outstanding question to address.



It was at this point in our Op discord that I let everyone know that that Mammoth kill we had an hour prior had paid dividends!

And there you have it! Another satisfied customer! Or was it…?



Turns out, Mr. Monkey went out again, this time throwing caution to the wind and going stabless!



I scrolled down on the Participant list because this was a clean H0NK kill. One from every corp. You love to see that teamwork!



Remember that Corp/Alliance confusion from earlier? Well unfortunately, it comes back with a vengeance.



Here I go, trying to explain. But you know what, I’m human too, okay? I slip a little, and try and pin this on the devs. “No alliance chat,” bullshit excuse. I should know better.



It’s not good enough to just sell a permit. Any joker can do that. Where your mettle is truly tested is when you have a customer come back and tell you the product was faulty. And hell, you know what, Mr. Monkey was in the right this time.



Bad screenshot, but he starts with “Market price is around 45 mil” - Which I check, it’s really 39/40, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Eve Echoes prices move fast and who knows when he bought his last one.



So I set up another contract, eat another broker fee, and I go hunt down [HONK] Adam Inspace to respectfully ask for an apology.



The contract goes through, but wouldn’t you know it, looks like I may have goofed?



This time I own up to my mistake. Not blaming a confusing UI, no, this one was all me. And just to ensure that I don’t do it again.



Here’s the contract. Mr. Monkey just paid another 2M in fees. Unfortunately for him, I think I’ll just let this one expire.



The contract does have an extra important note at the top. For reference, if you’re itching to go hunting Mammoths in the future, you might start your search in H-W9TY. Fin.

Us non-miners were running security, making sure only permit holders were mining. We had a lot of capsuleers try to flout the law.

OP was a huge success, thanks for coming everyone! :toot: I will try and run one tonight and one tomorrow as well. Someone will have to organize one this weekend as I will probably be gone Saturday. Expect more of these the coming weeks as more of us get into strip miners and we can demolish entire belts in one go.

I started my mining alt as a goof but now I’m bummed I won’t be stripping on them for almost two months. The time difference between tiers of omega is starting to be annoying... might need to pony up a bit more.

Cheap Omega is for when you have your skills trained so you can use advanced / expert skills and want to play, the fancy Omega is for actually skilling up.
