You didn't understand the story. The point of the story was that the ferryman acted with integrity by returning the industrial ship and not stealing anything from it even though he needed the contents. And so for that reason RnK treated him with the same honour by not destroying his ship and letting him live. The trouble is there are too many people who have little integrity and do not live in an honorable way in todays society, and so unfortunately I'm not surprised if some people don't understand this.

I love that 'the ferryman' was oblivious to all the activity behind the scenes, and leaving a hauler with just what he needed was hilarious.

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh

Is it just me, or is unpiloted hauler appearing out of nowhere, carrying exactly what you need, at just the time you need it, just a little suspicious? Straight

Excellent story, and well told.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I liked it, but does that mean we all get to make GD threads to advertise the stuff we wrote? Not that Mittens won't be going to Iceland or anything, but I'm just saying.

It would certainly set off red flags for me. I've had people try similar stuff on me to bait me into traps, and even though it was less conspicuous than this, it was still pretty obvious.

Frankly I would have kept the loaded hauler and then adjusted my travel plans accordingly.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

It seems _YOU_ didn't understand the story.

It's not about integrity, it's about the fascination with ants.

Yeah great little story, funny how people going about their daily business can affect other people's lives.
