Why all the hate for James315? This man is what EVE is all about. Either you are the hunter or you are the hunted. There is nothing in between. Read his gospel. Learn it. Live it. You can either profit or die. The choice is yours.

At first I thought it was sad you wrote all of that.

But then I realized that if I had the level of patience it must take to write that much complete **** just for your own gratification, I could have finished the books I want to write that I've not even started now years ago.

So now I'm just depressed. I'm going to eat a tub of ice cream.

Moral of this story ...............never pay ransoms, very few in this game have any honor.

The word "contradiction" pops to mind.

P.S. Why doesn't anyone every accidentally send me 810 million ISK?

I'll accidentally send you 810 ISK when I get home from work.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

I believe in ransoms and will always honor them.
So if I were in your shoes I'd pay him half of the received transaction.

Maybe because someone payed 10 times the actual ransom and still got killed and podded. Coming up with "he didn't pay me the exact amount" as an excuse to break the agreement is really lame and shows no honor.

So moral of the story is if you interact with James315, dont believe a word he says....

This post makes it perfectly clear that I should never ever pay a ransom.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

That is not how I see it. James315 did not get paid what he asked for and was put in a position that would compromise his principles. It is not his fault the miner couldn't count properly.

You should have given him 90m back as reminder how to do it.

Eve is all about writing long-winded posts about scamming people? Spose you're right.

"Pirates" who dont honor ransom are sad. EVE has evolved that way tho. Why anyone would even consider paying these days is truly beyond me tbh.

The whole "honourable" bladiebla is an embarrasement for the writer. I consider it an insult.

Honorable pirates? LMFAO. True pirates can only parlay with other pirates - even then it is all in the wording. Anyone else...well, become a pirate. Problem solved. Pirate

This is why you don't pay ransoms, ever.

If you are caught, maybe try to appeal to your attacker, but expect to lose your ship and cargo and get ready to warp your pod out.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

Expanding on this: the best method of getting away when reduced to your pod is pre-selecting a warp destination and getting ready to hit the "Warp To" button as soon as it's available to you. A quick reaction time can save your pod, and save you a clone update.
