Meh, I would not myself have done what you did, because gaining "trust" only to gank those who put it in me is not my thing.
But people who like that is also a big part of EVE and why EVE has survived for so long, it makes the game interesting for everyone.
I prefer ganking people who arent allies though.

Nice thread though, we need more of these with deeper content in em.

When I do it, I give them tips on how to prevent it in the future. Makes me feel better!

Interestingly, a lot of the people I recruited in my old corp were people I'd blown up or ganked.

'This is what you did wrong. Do you want to blow stuff up? Join my corp and I'll help you do things right!'. Some of the most loyal members I ever had, no joke.
I like explosions.

Started a "pirates" life very recently, still new to this game in so many ways. I can't say I would have done what you did but I have caused some tears in my few days already. Usually if my targets are good sport I'd reimburse them or help them take out their rivals just cause I'm having fun. If they cant handle it I go after the rest of their guys. And yes I will even target the ventures, given they are a few weeks into the game. But its all fun mate, if you are sorry fix it. If not do it again :D

I am just here to snuggle and do spy stuff.

There's no way my conscience would have let me do that. However, I don't have any qualms about blowing people up in null sec, low sec, WH space, or even high sec. It's just that I'm not going to go out of my way to befriend someone for the sole purpose of killing them.

OTOH, killing my friends accidentally....

I'm an idiot, don't mind me.

Killing people, even newbs in LS is all well and good, they shouldn't be there!


Why do you believe that? As a newb I blew up in low plenty of times, but I still loved going there in a slasher and scooping the wrecks of the oh-so-mighty veteran pvp'ers. Losing a T1-fit rifter to a badass wannabe in a T2 cruiser sucked, but every so often I found a module worth enough to let me buy 500 more of them.

Lowsec'ers who tell newbs not to go to low are just as bad as the molley-coddling carebears in highsec who tell them to stay away because it's impossible to survive there.

@OP like the newbs in lowsec, the highbears must learn the harsh side of EVE at some point.

I hate each and every pilot out there, and would go through great pains to kill a mere shuttle or a pod. I condone blobbing, metagaming, Falcon and logistics abusing, logon trapping, spying, ruining the game for others, Local trashing, being generally uncool and depriving everybody of their toys and their fun and their kills.

I do honor ransoms and I don't scam because I find it boring and I have plenty of Isk, but that's about it. I just want to kill every single ship out there, multiple times, and throw countless frozen corpses to the heap I'm building.


Some men want to see the world burn. But I am not one of them.

I just want to widdle in the ashes afterwards.


This is what happens when you get it. Well said sir.

You sound a bit extreme, I don't hate most of the pilots out there I just don't care at all what happens to them but the spirit of the message is spot on. Maybe had I spent more time in null I would have gotten there.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

This "lets gather around in a ring, hold hands and tell everyone how soft we should be to newbies" is absolutely PATHETIC. I even feel queasy by posting itt.

Hunt down the newbie, kill the newbie. Strike fear in the newbies heart

Good GOOOOD! Let the hate flow through you, hate makes you stronger. It gives you focus!

I have spent a noticeable amount of money in reverse-ransoming; the act of giving your victim a certain sum of isk after he dies, for whatever reason.

Early on when I was getting my feet wet in PvP, I'd join a couple folks I knew on roams into lowsec. Occasionally, we'd go into null through one of the high-null gates that exist. On the occasion I'm thinking of, it was myself and one other pilot. We were camping the gate from highsec, and engaged what turned out to be a bait-ship. We managed to de-agress and get back to highsec. My wingman got in a convo with the enemy FC, who invited us along on their roam, deeper into null.

Now, something didn't seem right about the situation to me, but I ignored my instincts. We joined their fleet, went about 4 jumps or so into null, and the FC fleet warped all of us to a spot in the system. Up went a bubble, boom went our ships.

I was literally laughing as first my ship, then my pod went pop. I even sent an in-game mail to the FC giving him sincere kudos for the EVE lesson. No rage, no tears...sincere thanks. Got a short, but decent reply...and he even put a few mil in my account.

So, sorta moral of my story is, yeah, it's quite possible you gave them a good lesson and hopefully they took it for what it was.

You are terrible and should feel bad. Can't even be man enough to suicide gank.

The feeling of guilt will pass.

If they undocked - they consent to being blown up.
No need to feel bad as you didn't press undock for them.
+ If they can fly an orca - they can afford the loss.

Remember - isk has no other purpose in eve except to be sploded one day.
You have helped the isk they have earned become meaningful instead of just a number on a screen.
Good work.






Except for the fact that OP going to be labeled as an Awoxer forever unless if it's an alt.

Pretty much all noobs who convo me post gankage and are polite and genuinely interested in how they just got blown up get a non-fail fit and the money to buy it and advise on how to not get ganked the next time. It's not that I "feel bad" so much as I prefer to use their pain and suffering as a teaching tool so they are better the next time they see me.
