The Indecent Proposal, Part 5

Previously, on MinerBumping... An exhaustive investigation by Agent TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet revealed rebel leader JTClone Ares to be an unrepentant enemy of the Code. Agent loyalanon contacted JTClone, offering to disband CODEdot in exchange for 20 billion isk. If he were a Gallant, he would've rejected the offer out of hand. Instead, JTClone savored the idea of revenge. Still, he'd been burned by an almost identical scheme several months earlier, so he remained cautious.


JTClone wanted to pay nothing until after the plan had gone through. loyalanon suggested a slight alteration to the deal.


Though he preferred not to pay anything up front, JTClone felt reasonably comfortable sending the money to be held in escrow by a third party. As long as he chose the escrow agent, that is.


loyalanon identified his own preference for escrow agent: Hansy Babes, a member of Pandemic Legion. Incredibly, Hansy actually was a member of PL, as opposed to an alt claiming to represent PL, as is more frequently the case.


For the moment, JTClone remained mum about his own pick for escrow agent. As he thought it over, loyalanon entertained JTClone by encouraging him to imagine what victory against CODEdot would be like.


Before he got too wrapped up in fantasies of defeating the New Order, JTClone wanted to make sure every aspect of the plan was nailed down. Every "i" was to be dotted and every "t" crossed. He wasn't going to be made a fool of this time.


loyalanon was completely familiar with the corp management mechanics. He assured JTClone that the plan would go smoothly.


JTClone wasn't going to make the same mistakes again. Nothing could possiblie go wrong.

possibly*


The plan drew nearer to fruition. Still, there were some unresolved questions: Who would act as the third party to hold the funds? And where would JTClone find 20 billion isk?


Such questions were put aside for now. After more than a year of constant defeats, JTClone was intoxicated by the idea of victory.


At around the same time JTClone was telling his alliance that he'd found the spy, he asked loyalanon if he knew anything about the spy. loyalanon was too aboveboard to get involved in any such skulduggery. JTClone then ended the convo, promising to give more thought to his choice of escrow agent.


Before long, loyalanon received a convo request from out of the blue. It was No Honor Bounds, a character who had been created just minutes earlier. He was so new that his portrait wasn't even showing up yet.


To be continued...

    1. Many years ago, I used to think that people couldn't be this stupid, but after years of interaction with "the public", I decided that I was incorrect. I do not know where CODE finds these "special people" or why these victi...er, "special people" play EVE, but more power to James and his gang of followers in weeding the flowerbed of the EVE universe.

  4. The problem is, he only has care bear friends and as any one knows, care bears worship ISK more than anything, certainly more than honor or friendship. If any of his friends got his hands on 20 bil, they'd be gone in a blink of an eye.

    So his plan was "smart". Not reallyREALLY smart, more like kindergarten-kid-smart, but the only feasible option in his mind I guess.

  8. My brother is with another mother.

    CODE is now altering the log chats. This was a deal about 10bil from a donor, why code has to stoop down to lieing is amazing. I knew exactly who the spy was but i wanted to test loyalanon's loyalty... like code he failed. I'd like a blog post myself to show my chat logs

    1. Nothing's been altered. You really are just a master tactician.

    2. If you want a blog post JT, you have only to deposit 20 billion ISK into my wallet and I'll convince James that you need your own area in this blog.

      My word is my bond so you may have confidence in the transaction.
