Perfect example of why NEVER to pay a ransom

OP said, I blew you up cause you didn't send me the correct amount.. BS (he over pays and you blow him up?)

OP said, I kept the cash after debating about it.. BS (he never had any intention of paying it back)

OP said, I keep my honor above all else... BS (He blew up a guy that paid 10x the amount)

IF this example does NOT influence people to never pay a ransom, then a lot of unintelligent people play this game.

OP can burn and I shall continue to laugh at those idiots that keep paying ransoms.

I shall continue to observe stupidity at its finest.

OP you are the prime reason why to never ever pay a ransom, thank you for making it public.

#3. Mathematical destiny. When a ship is destroyed, its modules (aside from rigs) have a 50% chance of dropping. Over the years, I have noticed that the "drop lottery" has tended to disfavor me. For some reason, it seems that the more valuable mods tend not to drop. Just a couple weeks ago, I killed a hulk with a faction invulnerability field worth about 400 million. Do you think it dropped? Of course not. But according to the law of large numbers, I shouldn't expect this kind of bad luck to continue. When the miner sent me 900 million by mistake, this was most likely an act of fate, balancing out all of my bad luck from before. I am therefore entitled to the isk.

Entitled... Damn you are starting to make me agree with that guy

So basicaly, all that honor stuff is to actually show us you got none? Pirates should hunt you down for disrespecting said honor. But then again, the guy paying in the first case was a mistake, an idiotic one at that.

Btw, my only gripe about that is that you should actually repay him the 90 millions. If he overpayed; his loss. Otherwise admit you never planned on respecting the engagement.

I be honest I didn't bother reading the whole thing, just go pod the guy again with the spare cash for hassling you and keep the cash.

And yes he did pay ransom. If I said I had 200isk but I have 2000isk I am telling the truth, because I do have that 200 but what I am not telling you is that I have more than that.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.

All I got out of this is that James is like this in real life, meaning he is a murderer and extortionist and should be brought to justice.

na your a theif simple as that.
Should you have given it back- hell no
you should have let him and his 2 ships go, and giving him a pass for 8 more, or 6 (counting the pod in the ships).
but math must be so hard.

no honor

First rule of ransoms is you do not pay ransoms. Second rule of ransoms is YOU DO NOT PAY RANSOMS.

That is all.....

Don't ban me, bro!
