Dude, you got kill rights!!!

Lol

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

I have to admit to being happy the other day someone tried to gank me. I was sad they didn't reply as to how far down I had them with my drones before concord showed up though. I'm guessing they didn't scan first to check if I was tanked, as they would have taken an untanked barge with their DPS.

Congrats to the person that took a stand against miners that desecrate the environment of innocent, beautiful asteroid fields.

I'm not complaining. I'm just a little bemused, and weirdly proud. I sorta feel like I've made it, for some reason.


So...you got the Eve equivalent of getting hammered at a party and knocked up. You should probibly get tested soon, you know...for stuff and incase you're pregnant.

They'll gank you when you're trying to be so good
They'll gank you just like they said they would
They'll gank you when you're trying to go home
They'll gank you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get ganked

They'll gank you when you're walking on the street
They'll gank you when you're trying to keep your seat
They'll gank you when your walking on the floor
They'll gank you when your walking to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get ganked

They'll gank you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll gank you when you are young and able
They'll gank you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll gank you and then they'll say good luck
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get ganked

Well They'll gank you and say that it's the end
They'll gank you and then they'll come back again
They'll gank you when you're riding in your car
They'll gank you when you're playing you guitar
Yes But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get ganked
Alright

Well They'll gank you when you are all alone
They'll gank you when you are walking home
They'll gank you and then say they're all brave
They'll gank you when you're send down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get ganked

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Ohh noes!! Precious pixels blows up!! How can I ever replace my 2B ISK fit when I only have 50B??!

Don't fly what you can't afford to lose, thus is you lose it, it doesn't Fing matter, you can replace it.

Honestly I can see their point... if someone's got the balls to take me out while I'm in high-sec and willing to take the CONCORD smackdown to do so.... I don't really see a problem with them making a net profit.

Congratulations on being ganked while it's still possible. You'll be able to brag about that come winter.

You sir Tanthos are evil.
Comming here and rub it the nose of the pour ganker.
Laughing at them and saying "Yes - bring it on'.

I could sympathize too except the very argument about lazy miners is ONLY true if the ganker is ALSO just as lazy.

He has (and still does) MANY other ways to make a profit ganking - he just repeatedly and foolishly preyed on the weakest to profit (a.k.a. easy mode) and blamed the lazy miner for playing on "easy mode" which actually made it possible.

Rather circular nonsense if you get my meaning. But let's not forget he can still gank. If he wants to make it profitable he just has to do it differently - I dunno, freighter ganking in a GROUP.

Heard Tippia does regular freighter hauls near Uedema... Pirate

I remember when someone suicide ganked me one and only time, I was in Badger MkII in Jita and in cargo hold was placed only one module worth 500M.

It was really funny because it didn't drop for ganker. Lol Ganker lost more than she earned, because she was in amarr battleship fitted with autocannons. Lol

Now, you are a man. Go forth and spread your manliness.

I still remember my first time...didn't know how to set autopilot settings and got ganked in Passari. That was a long time, and another life ago, but it is still a rite of passage that should be experienced by all who play this game..

I still remember my first suicide gank. I warped my Cheetah directly into a disco Raven on the way back from Jita to Metropolis space.

Woke up in a clone bay with no idea what had happened. Ah, fun times.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
