Originally by: Grarr Dexx Yes it's very nice, a newbie-teaching corporation having to shut down recruitment!
Not for long it seems. It would be stupid of Privateers to pay 1b for a war they're LOSING(Ivy Killboard). I dunno how they've done this but gratz to them for this trick. Im sure they havent paid 10.5b regardless of what Mr Hoochie says cos that just sounds absurd.

OH MY GAWD!!!
Ive just realised how they did it. Google helped. Its just barely listed on this site, I wonder how they figured it out.
I wont give it away, because its clear that the uni wants to keep it quiet. But by my calculation for 18 wars it should cost them 342M per week. Wow!

Dont think so Mr Hastings. Kelduum seems like a person who would check it out fully before doing something.

Edited by: X3k5 on 25/05/2008 08:28:35 As much as I support the University, this tactic eventually has to be exclaimed an exploit. What is an exploit? Its basically playing the game the way it was not intended. When CCP invented the war declaration system, they did not intend for this to happen. If people stop thinking from their emotions, perhaps they will realise the truth.
And Ki An, your "Shut up ..", "Stupidity like yours is ruining the game." isnt helping so perhaps if you could keep that to a low?
Originally by: Ki An It is also a pretty desperate tactic from someone claiming to be 'winning' the war.
I think the killboard speaks for itself as to who's winning the war. I know its a desperate tactic but I think they are doing it for the good of the people. If you have forgotten, Eve Uni is a selfless corp that helps newer pilots. And as of right now they are not learning much and I imagine by now they are probably tired of war too. And the other newer pilots who wish to learn have nowhere as good to go.
Originally by: R1ck James Pretty obvious that Ivy is not teaching anything worthwhile. ECM frig blobs are not "fleet warfare", and this is just ridiculous. Leave the training to the tutorial and other corps that cater to new players. The so-called instructors seem better suited to wtfbbqpwning NPC's and aweing new players in lvl 4's with their maxed Nighthawk/Golem/CNR's. SP and time in game mean nothing if you're an idiot, but apparently you can go teach at Eve Uni.
My, my, my, Mr R1ck James, you certainly seem very abhorrent of the Uni. Perhaps you got podded by them? Or got kicked from the uni perhaps? or maybe you are just a Privateer Alt? Anyways, who am I to make that judgement. You have your opinion and I have mine. And In my opinion, the players in the uni and the ones who have passed out, the majority are quite happy and do learn a lot. As for your teaching comment, why dont you join up and teach. You perfectly fit your description

Originally by: Profhet Can't have it both ways, either our war dec is unacceptable and hurting Eve in general or it's an opportunity for your students.
Perhaps you've heard of wine? Good for circulation of blood in small quantities. BAD for your health in the long term if consumed in large doses.
Privateers are a bit like that.
Meaning you get Uni's blood pumping in the short term. But its bad for the Uni in the long term because it hurts the newer players.

Originally by: Kyle Frost To IVY: When the rabbit makes short turns to get away from the wolf, that doesnĘt make the wolf stop chasing it ū it just ****es him off. I will see you around boys
Youve touched the analogy so I figured I should complete it. The rabbit gets his friends together and cuts out the wolf's belly. Now if the wolf wants to chase after the rabbit, he's free to and in doing so bleed/starve to death or the wolf can cut his losses and accept defeat.

This is it. The worst post on all of CAOD for 2008. See how it tries very hard to be witty and tough and intimidating, talking of rabbits who band together and cut out wolf bellies. See how it claims that this is part of an analogy.
Also see how it falls flat on its face into a fetid puddle of failure. There is no analogy here. There is only a carebear, pounding his chest vicariously through someone else's abuse of a game mechanic.
First thing, he started the analogy and I just replied, so stop kissing privateer ass. As for how it applies -- Perhaps a lesson in english for you. Analogy = "similarity or comparability". Now lets compare, shall we?
Its clear from Mr Frost's post that the rabbit is "Eve University" and the wolf is "Privateers". Fair enough. "The rabbit gets his friends together" - Kelduum said his friends created the alt corps. "cuts out the wolf's belly" - the ISK they'll have to pay. "Now if the wolf wants to chase after the rabbit, he's free to and in doing so bleed/starve to death" - They will most definitely bleeding ISK and starving when they start running low on ISK after paying 1B a week, wont you agree? "wolf can cut his losses and accept defeat." - That just means that Privateers can walk away.
Perhaps this lesson has improved your understanding of a language I like to call English.

Wrong. Here is the definition of "analogy":
Originally by: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/analogy 1.a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based: the analogy between the heart and a pump.
An analogy requires 'like features' as a prerequisite for comparison. Rabbits do not band together and cut out the bellies of anything, let alone wolves. There is no 'like feature' between the relationship of rabbits and wolves and the relationship of PRVTR and IVY. None at all. Your analogy isn't an analogy at all.
Originally by: Havohej Also see how it falls flat on its face into a fetid puddle of failure. There is no analogy here. There is only a carebear, pounding his chest vicariously through someone else's abuse of a game mechanic.
Turns out I was right the first time. You remind me of that mexican Cowboy in the beginning of the movie Tombstone. The one who fails to correctly translate the words spoken by the Mexican priest when Curly Bill asks what the man said. Johnny Ringo then tells him "Your Spanish is worse than your English." If English is your first language, you're terrible at it. If it's not your first language, study more - you're almost there.
EDIT: Fixed broken quote.
If you would bother to read your own source then perhaps you would realize your mistake.
Analogy has different meanings. Perhaps you dont know that a lot of words in english have multiple meanings. Now go back to the site you quoted from and look at Meaning 2. Read what it says. 2.similarity or comparability
Exactly what I said the first time and you said wrong, so who's wrong now? Do I have to exlain the meaning of comparability as well?
And you seem like a privateer kiss-ass who is trying to use invalid arguments to negate other people's comments. Now go learn to read before posting. :)
As for my English, my RL credentials allow me to say that Im pretty good and I believe this is an analogy If you dont believe me, go ask your English teacher if this is an analogy or not.

And typical Privateers. No constructive argument to make so lets bring in something totally unrelated.

I sleep better knowing that Privateers got beaten at their own game(war-decs)
And I didnt start the english pvp. I just added to Mr. Frost's analogy.

I know Mr Hooch, Im waiting to see what happens further. But right now they beat you :) Now its your turn to fight back. If you read my previous posts, I myself believe that the tactic should be declared an exploit.
As for the name Mr Frost, I have a very good reason for it and I do not need to explain my fictional name in a Fantasy game to you and it has nothing to do with my english language ability. Infact unless you have a degree in English, my English is credentially better than yours.
EDIT: Oh and I havent lost a single ship to you, so I have no personal vendetta against you. I just happen to favour the uni a little(though I dont approve of this tactic).
MAXSuicide, your post happens to be exactly on topic
