I can see Helicity Boson being the internet spaceship figurehead of Greenpeace, albeit with more dakka, the whole event is about saving the Orca from the environmentally unfriendly practice of mining.

Sniped it Cool

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

The Somali pirate role model does come to mind ... especially after having watched the South Park episode where Cartman goes to Somalia


Hilarious episode.

I guess they are environmentalists, but on an Al-Zarqawi level. Either or, they make for some amusing results AND I get the added bonus of observing people under the effect of various social motivators.

I guess you accidentally used my supertank hulk that I posted a while back?

FYI, that was a joke.

Actually they do it because it results in silly threads on the forums.

EVE is a griefing game and hope dies last.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

OP hasn't a clue and is far from the truth.

We are all human, no difference beside the color of our skin, eyes, hair, and half of us have a connector that plus into the other half's connector Oops)

Gankers don't relize it, but they are risk adverse. Think I am lying? How many hulk kills were not with battleships? The vast majority are destroyers, because without that insurance payout these dumb dudes that won't admit the truth are using EFT to get the most bang for their buck. Loosing a 250m or more battleship at current prices is really stupid don't you think, so of course they are adverse to taking such a risk to their wallet.

Miners in highsec are risk averse. Why don't they take them to lowsec? Because its stupid and will mostly end up being blown up. Because its a risky idea to take an expensive ship into lowsec, they are adverse to higher profit with less reward.

tl;dr: One hairless ape is calling another hairless ape, but both apes are the same thing as it doesn't matter if you pull the trigger or not.

Because ganking is like opening a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get. Besides, most people in highsec are not use to podding. This is like "coup de gras" of space violence, highly enjoyable especially if hate mail and forums threads are plentiful.

There is a difference between being not risk averse, and being a moron.

If they are paying attention but you still mange to catch the pod, that'll really get them.

Yeah, because I don't throw away 100 ships to gank an Osprey, I'm "risk adverse".

Wait, no that's just... idiotic.

The profile of a ganker could be viewed as person with a limited intelligence, but that would be derogative, so that is discounted.


This is a logical fallacy, the fact that something is derogatory has no impact on it's verisimilitude

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

OP is probably one of those guys that kick over the chessboard if their opponent takes his queen, calling it 'griefing'.
