Mining permits and other "protection" rackets

Has anyone run a successful protection racket or extortion scheme against ratters and miners? The Sound Of Thunder Alliance cloaky camps Pandemic Horde systems and offers players the chance to be left alone for 8 Mil ISK per day. It’s low enough that a lot of players have been willing to take a chance paying it to see if we honour our word (we do)

How do you run your protection rackets and what prices do you charge? Have your targets tried fighting back or refused to pay and do you need to sometimes destroy a few of their ships to prove you mean business?

Normally I do the murder, but if you distract me with a quality anime waifu image, I’m pretty much guaranteed to leave you alone that day.

I’ve gotten an occasional mining or krabbing permit sale, but honestly it’s been more of a conversation starter than a profitable enterprise.

Here is one of our recent sales.

We don’t charge anything…quite the opposite. We offer gankees the wonderful opportunity of assimilation and free mining ships. All they have to do is join the corp. A tactic as old as the Roman empire.

You’re not supposed to write “pay the ransom” on the bullets?
HAVE I BEEN DOING IT WRONG???

That would explain why I never get paid :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes i did read about AO assimilation plans is it a single system or a constellation you try to assimilate at a time

Your just monsters, have you actually given anyone a replacement ship ever or not killed a permit holder in the history of permits.

You open trade while in fleet and receive a replacement ship.

I know 100% that does happen.

I am!

:balance_scale:

No , that is saving the environment.

And look at what happened to the Roman Empire

Special offer for NEPF, free Aiko Doll with every permit.

Permits are legit. Aiko Danuja the Princess of Khanid, gave me one and I have never been ganked.

How is it a scam? I was offered a service, I accepted the terms and was more than happy with the outcome. Its a pretty good deal when you think about it.

All empires rise, and then fall. Obviously as far as Eve is concerned, one wants to be there for the rising bit.

I’m wondering about this as well.
How do you even get people to link your profession?
"I praise Princess Aiko and the New Order of Highsec, I follow the New Halaima Code of Conduct ™ "

Do you brainwash people or something? They loose their whole biography to your ‘cult’ ?
Do people sell their soul to your idea? O_O

They have to pay me to receive the mark.
