A "Pirate" locked you up... uh huh.
So locked up in a .5, at war then? Checking... yes it was a war target. SO, mining during war with no escort or scouts?
Take him for everything he has because that was dumb. And such slip-ups deserved to be taught by death.
"but it was only a 2 man corp, why worry about it...." I'm sure came up. So what have you learned from this?
Also mining in a .5 during hulkageddon, and obviously not watching local.
1mn afterburner on a Orca... Sensor boosted Hulk... both ships lost to the same pilot? Using an Orca as a pilotless can?
And lost pod... And the POD.

What.
The.
Hell.

This is horribly embarrassing. And saying your not embarrassed because you are space rich just adds to it.

I commend James 315 for studding his targets and getting the easiest of kills.

Personally, I'd be more interested in a screenshot of the transaction logs with timestamps visible after an API verified KM is posted.

This reeks of alt, due to the identical writing style, the first post on that char, the lack of butthurt, and the name drop in the first post.


Screenshot, per your request:

I am not his alt, frankly that is insulting. I would never sink as low to become a pirate

Oh and I am not humilited. I am rich :) I know that if I undock from a station who knows what will happen. Golden Rule of eve. Never undock if you aren't afraid of losing it

Good read, Andski. About a year before I started playing, but kinda neat to be able to check out that little time capsule.

Pity about BoB, huh. Blink

Never pay Ransoms.
Never fly what you can't afford to lose.

Additionally he killed you in highsec.. which means either you stole, or there was a wardec.. If it's latter. Which just makes you an idiot for having a Orca undocked during a wardec.

James should have honored the ransom. Now he owes you your ships AND the extra money you paid him. If he hadn't blown you up and you were here complaining about your extra zero I would side with James and say the whole 900 was his. If you make a mistake while your nervous in this game, thats how you lose. But As it sits, James let his own nerves and excitement rule him. If he would have kept his cool he would have made the right choice. Anybody can make a mistake in the heat of battle. far less can make it right.

I peed a little. I also read this out loud to my vent, and they all peed on their mics.

You were mining during a war, and expect somebody NOT to kill you? Are we playing the same game?

Props to James for getting a little isk on the side, I'd have just mauled everything on site, without a convo.

Edit - just looked at the kills... WTF? 2 ships, 1 pilot..... I strongly advise you strategically place your cursor over the biomass button and press it repeatedly...

So! Ladies and Gentlemen,

To settle a little disagreement between an "honourable" Ransom Taker and I being a Miner, we have decided to enlist the help of the general public.

Let me tell you the situation,

I was mining in the asteroid belts when a Pirate by the name of James 315 approached me in my Orca and started to attack my ship. Naturally, He opened a channel of communication and demanded the ransom amount of 90million ISK per ship. I, of course, decided to pay him because I didn't feel like losing over 900mil worth of mining assets. So I payed him the 90million ISK BUT I accidently put an extra 0 into the figure giving him 900m instead of the agreed amount.

So, I told him this, and he continued to destroying my ship and I ended up losing my Orca, Hulk and my Implants. Valued at over 2.3b. He said that I didn't give him the correct amount thus allowing him to destroy my ship and everything i had in it.

We then took this to a station where we continued to discuss this issue and he and I both agreed that we should see what other players think.

What are your thoughts on the situation? Do you believe he should reimburse me the 2.12b minus the ransom which of course i had every intention of paying or do you believe that i should suck it up and accept that I lost 2.12b over a typo?


I believe you should've paid him the correct ammount of isk.

The way it works is James never had any intention of honoring that ransom. No matter how much or how little. Many years ago, ransoms were honored and such. It was The Code if you will. But after a while, a ton of **** players decided, "I want to be an ebil piwat and be bad too... derpity hurr hurr!!"

Thus in one swift stroke, those bads entered the profession and decided not to honor ransoms to go for MAXIMUM PROFIT and threw the games cold dark ways in front of them to shield them from the ridicule on the forums. And for even more self tugging experiences, they have the victims post on the same forums so they can sit back and lol all night long.

As a matter of fact, these days the community views players who in fact DO honor ransoms as the bad guys and the bads who ruined the profession as today's heroes. I guess all we can do about your situation is say welcome to today's EVE and the old EVE has all but vanished.

My advise is next time when he opens the convo box, simply say, "**** off and die. lol" when he asks for a ransom. Or better yet do not mine at all. With today's EVE, the community mostly views miners as the bad guys and even as far as blame them for everything wrong with this game. Go figure. Straight

I wish you better luck with your future endeavors and don't let anyone convince you they are a pirate. Pirates died in this game a long time ago, in a galaxy very, very different...

I knew he had no intention of paying it all back, nor did I believe that this had any real purpose other than to confirm what I already knew.

I am not going to cry over the fact that I made several huge mistakes in which I ended up losing a small chunk of my money.

Such is life.

All I have to say.

Your absolutely right. It seems it is not just Eve though. It is online gamers in general going south. Say what you people will, but ganking, greifing and dishonorable conduct used to be far less prevalent across the board. I had been hoping this had not reached Eve.
