Crime & Punishment

Here's my kill right story, I generally don't get too many.

I spend a fair amount of time keeping Hek safe from criminals and suspects. And it was while doing this that someone decided to gank me.

I was sitting on boundless when all of a sudden the shield alarm goes off, I hear explosions, and I see the mail notification flashing. For a second, wasn't sure if I had just lost my Cynabal or what. But realizing I was still in my ship I hit dock, not knowing if there was more to come. So I looked at my combat log to see what had happened. There was an entry for a Tornado piloted by a Blue Sec pilot. So I repair my ship, and undock hoping maybe to loot, salvage, or just see what is going on.

So my ship enters space and look around for the wreck. I start to head for it, but then I get another shield alarm and email notification. I immediately hit dock, figuring there might be more ships ready to shoot me. I check the log and sure enough another tornado, but this time some other pilot.

Not really sure if this was spurred by animosity between our alliance and Blue Sec, or people not understanding the bounty system and trying to get the 1 billion bounty placed on me. If it was the bounty, they would have saddly been disappointed, as the payout wouldn't have come close to paying the 140mil per Tornado.

I was fortuante, though, a week early they might have actually been successful. I had my cynbal shield fitted, and recently switched to armor, but hadn't switched up the rigs yet.

So today I get a kill right notification for the Blue Sec pilot. And an email linking this kill http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=18328949 . I never really expected it to be used, had put it up for 50mil just figured someone might accidentally invoke it. I must say that was one nice surprise. So not only did this pilot lose his tornado due to the failed gank attempt, he lost his proteus as well.

My favorite killright stories usually begin with some good old fashioned intra-corporation violence.

Heroic newbro A joins B's mining corp. A starts shooting up a mining operation in highsec while CONCORD just laugh.

B shoots back, and a heroic person C outside the corporation sees B shoot A, and starts providing A neutral repairs.

B shoots C and gets CONCORDOOKENED. Then C finds B a week later when B is out in an Orca, and activates their killright and blows up the Orca.

Justice is served for illegal violence against our hero C.

Double the trouble, I am

Awesome.

People need to learn the game mechanics and basic bounty hunter tactics.

There's nothing more frustrating than watching a killright Mach undock and somebody activates it on station.

OH YEAH?! WELL THEN, I WILL HAVE TO BLOW UP ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR CYNO REAPERS IN AMAMAKE! YEAH. I'LL SHOW YOU WHOSE BOSS!

In all seriousness, I remember when Jimmy 15's brother suicide ganked my alt in a probe ship, using his alt master chief ottig and his main account. I ended up activating kill rights on Ottig later on that night while he's in his boosting Loki. While killing it, he ejects, and I net myself a free Loki! \o/

Back from the days where kill rights actually where a game mechanic for pvp pilots to get a seconds chance to visit low sec tourists in her home town, instead of a trivial sell out thing for people that can't manage to kill you on her own.

I sicked around a bit to long with the vaga and was to drunk to align away from the belt instead against a giant veldspare roid, what made warping out after I had the vaga down kind of problematic:

Then again, sometimes kill rights can be actually a useful thing instead a massive wast of time(what they are most of the time), if you have a close eye on people(meaning you are bored and got nothing else to do) and count 1+1 together when you see them coming back from a market hub:

I would like to point you to a story I once wrote in The Butterfly Effect topic, but I can't find it. Basicly it comes down to some ganker failing to take out my Industrial coming out of lowsec, and losing his Orca a few days later. Should you have the client running, check my bio. It basicly speaks for itself!

CRIME ALWAYS PAYS! Otherwise why not get a real job? I mean. If crime did not pay why would anyone do it? Crime definitely pays something.
