EVE General Discussion

I have no idea what you're talking about here. There's never been a "rule" against podding anyone in high sec.

i would be very comfortable in that much cushioning too

There is a consequence for killing a pod in high sec. There isn't a rule preventing it. As long as you're willing to accept the consequence you're good to go.

Griefing:

Some guy has perma-dec'd Red Frog Freight. He then spread the decks between five alt corps. He clearly has nothing to gain from it, but continues to deck Red Frog.

Not griefing:

Blowing up some guys hulk in an ice belt. It would be griefing if I specifically hunted him down and continued to do it, regardless of what he was flying and when.

Let's just say there's a fine line, and most know when they've crossed it.

Hi, my name is Malcanis and I'm in an alliance called The Initiative. We operate a policy popularly known as "NBSI", short for "Not Blue, Shoot It". This means that all of us consider anyone who is not in the alliance nor on the list of groups who we have specifically marked blue to be actively hostile to us. And that list is pretty short, by the way; I'm afraid to say that you're not on it.

According to our publically stated and consistently applied policy, we consider virtually everyone in EVE to be valid targets. We care nothing for the "laws" of Empire except insofar that they add a significant time/cost overhead to engaging targets of opportunity. Nor are we at all interested in your odd and unfounded belief that you're "entitled" to be considered friendly to us or that it's breaking some imaginary "rule" to treat you as hostile.

Our rules say that we can shoot you whenever we like, wherever we can, in whatever ship you're in, for any reason that suits our purposes. As far as we're concered, all space is hostile space, it's just that some parts of it has nastier gate rats with different aggro mechanics than others.

It's not personal - we're not interested in you at all as an individual player, it's just that, well, you're our enemy. We've chosen to draw a line with us and a very few select friends on this side: HERE <-- | -> THERE and everyone else on the "there" side. As I said - nothing personal, you're just on the wrong side.

Now as it happens, we currently have very few interests in hi-sec space, so as a matter of practicality, you're unlikely to be the focus of much attention from INIT. But rest assured that the second we find you between us and something we want, you will be. As it happens, Goonswarm Federation operates a policy and a philosophy similar to ours, albeit with a somewhat longer list of friends (they're much more likeable than we are). And it seems that a number of hi-sec players have interposed themselves between GSF and something they want.

The funny thing is I used to think the goons where nothing more then prepubescent 12 yr old outcasts who were playing Eve as it is there only way at being able to shout out against a cruel world where they are shunned in every walk of life and are hated even by their own family, as well single 40 yr old virgins who still living with their parents and are attracted to the younger members of our society.

However now I would like to put that to one side and thank them for bringing some fun and excitement into High Sec.

Well done and keep up with the great work

podded four guys in jita already and i'm starting to get the hang of it

podding owns

griefing them, as it were

Can't be bothered to read if anybody stated this but.

Hulkaggen was/is allowed.
Precedent set and blessed.
End of story.

Stop crying, it must have been a CTA and is fully covered by the SRF.

You usually chase rats around PXF all day.
