Hello everyone, today, my little birdie passed away. She was a fluffy little beast and fought like a champion until the bitter end. I will miss her bigtime. Before she passed, she learned the human language and passed on to me her final wish: to kill every single venture, NO EXCEPTIONS, and to make it big on the 12th Annual Venture Hunting Contest. That’s why I am announcing my renewed fervor to continue the battle for the ultimate win in this contest. I have a sizeable lead, but that is no reason to relax. I am going to hunt these ventures, every single one of them, and I am going to dedicate my victory to my little birdie who accompanied me for so many years and now dutifully watches from above. She also said to give them hell. So, here is to round number two!! With comitted regards -James Fuchs ---

CASTOLE’s performance is quite incredible! This young man has dedicated so much time and effort to utterly annihilate the competition, with a gap so wide that I have even considered cheating to secure the first-place position. But seeing this amount of dedication to acquire this highly sought, venerable title of Venture hunting champion, I saw a younger version of myself in him. The fire, the devotion to his craft and the inspiring tenacity to keep on pushing where others would have long since given up. It was time for me to let go, so the next generation of gankers can continue the good work, fight their battles and come to define what it means to be an agent of the new order. That being said, I will of course still cheat regardless come end of December, so I want to congratulate CASTOLE on his very strong and stunning entry into the second place position. Way to go, good sir! With cheerful regards -James Fuchs ---

Although 25 billion isk reward is quite nice, There is also a reward in knowing that every venture blapped, helps prevent a miner population explosion, which of left unchecked would tank the EvE economy. ---

If you’ve bothered to read anything concerning the subject, she actually radically changed ganking. An in depth analysis of several threads demonstrated a dynamic shift from barges to find freighters and haulers. In fact she even stood toe to toe with the largest shareholder of code at the time when James315 left. This individual wanted to waste time effort and energy breaking skiffs for basically a handful of veldspar or ice. If anything there move from Halaima to Uedema was both innovative and ground breaking turning the focus of ganking into a lucrative business model that many have attempted to copy but failed to reproduce. This is all well documented information. @DrysonBennington ---
