I don't play EVE and I probably never will, but this is still awesome

This stuff is backed by some incredibly smart people and is quite similarly run to how major criminal gangs worked in real life.

Driving the price of a common item up by killing anyone trying to produce that item, and then when the market collapses and the supply becomes lower than the demand, only for the gang to sell at an extortionate rate.

Other stories

Goonsquad vs Band of Brother:
Goonsquad uses a spy to infiltrate another group, the spy manages to get to a high enough status that he kicked every member of the group, stole everything, destroyed the group, remade the group with his own ownership so they can never own the name again. Estimated loss equivalent to $5000.

Bank Theft
An ingame player run bank (I think) managed to have an 'employee' steal a fuckload of ingame currency, exchange it to real currency around £3000... Even made it to mainstream news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8132547.stm


Eve Online is a shit game, but it spawns some awesome stories

F'kin gypos.

haha, that's awesome.

This has been on Youtube for years, weird how the press only just start talking about it.

I know a fair few 'gypos' or 'pikeys', but they are not quite this style. They hold a lot more self-respect and they have a lot of loyalty between friends than what these country born pikeys seem to have. Still wouldn't trust them with my wallet though

Gypsy cunts have stolen so many quadbikes off our farm. I would seriously consider shooting them If I didn't have to go to prison for it.

Gypsy cunts have stolen so many quadbikes off our farm. I would seriously consider shooting them If I didn't have to go to prison for it.

I know many people who aren't Gypsies/Pikeys/Travellers who would have your Quad bike away if you didn't have it secure

There are many simple things you can do to stop thieves:
- Get an alarm (movement inside a garage/shed)
- Use a large motorbike chain, put it through any wheels (if they have gaps) and around the chassis/axles.
- Add a ground/wall anchor to use with chain
- If you have disc brakes, then buy a disc brake lock.
- Place a gps tracker and a remote alarm
- Buy a wheel clamp

If you cant afford or get access to anything, take a wheel or two off and bring it indoors... I don't know much technically about Quads, but I am fairly sure there will be a simple cable you could disconnect to stop the ignition... At least they wont be rolling it out the farm.

Alarms and chains arn't practical because they have to be used on a regular basis, a gps tracker is useless because the police don't do anything and I would know where they take it anyway back to their gypsy camps. However if you confront them they will deny it, if you try and take it back they will shoot you. Gypsies for you.

Lol seriously, such a stupid a article. Hate any news topics that are just based on silly `gossip` kind of things, eg. omg Kate Middleton didn't have alcohol at a party she must be pregnant. Great.

The enquiry isn't gossip, which isn't even the right word I just couldn't think of one. But when they're reporting on the fact that he ended his text with lol to some people, and then didn't even give an x to others is imo quite silly. If questioning what he puts on the end of texts does lead to a helpful conclusion in this enquiry then by all means I will happily be proved wrong, however to me it just seems ridiculous.
