Crime & Punishment

Yeah, ganging up on newbs who don't understand game mechanics.

such wow

so skills

much impressed

also, darklord?

much emo

so dark and edgy

Newbs shouldn't fly battleships.

Wulfgar; his jimmies rustled. Might be time to change that corp name, bro.

You make a fool of yourself when you comment on an article without having read it first.

I do hope that Feyd finds the time to murder a carebear for you, too.

Not like I'm calling anybody a lowbrow who couldn't think their way through a 3rd grade math problem but why stifle the sound when something could be done about the cure if they don't want to hear high sec nerf ideas ? If there's not much problem , there won't be many cries for help .
The big tough high sec ganker who likes to cruise around in fighting ships anyway could just as easily look out for their own best interests and make sure their little ocean doesn't get over fished . They could keep a little list of who has formed up a group , corp or alliance who's main [often only] purpose is to play in the kiddy sandbox and ruin it for the occasional ganker who wouldn't over fish the area .
This is easily done by flagging the professional gankers as either red or orange depending on the level of threat and then either declaring war all the time or even easier , just going to those systems where past kill-boards tell you that that's where they hang out . The cute thing about it is you know who they are and what they are probably up to . The minute they open fire on their intended victim they flash red at you and you can open fire on them with impunity . Bear in mind that once they agro their victim it takes a couple of seconds to focus their weapons on you and these guys aren't big on tanking a ship they intend to loose anyway . Even if CONCORD does show up they treat you as just another ship flying around . Best of all it will slow down organized hi sec gankers because there's no profit [or even fun] in getting ganked before making the kill .
This sort of action would help to quell the calls for hi-sec nerfs and people wouldn't have to feel that they had to swing the sword of God just because people wouldn't "HTFU"

This is far too simple. Get out, and don't come back until you've radically over-engineered a solution and made it so complicated that all I can do is cry on the forum.

The reason that there are so many cries for help is that the people crying don't understand the type of game that they're playing. Eve is brutal, it will steal their cookies if they're dumb enough to flaunt them, they should plan accordingly.

They already do, they kill the fishermen who don't have a licence.

It's the gankees who should be doing this, not the gankers. Nobody is going to help someone who can't be bothered to help themselves.

Crimewatch 2.0 would like a word with you, it's already flagging criminals and suspects, it's other people that can't be bothered to do anything about them.

Yea, this guy is some kind of attention whor.e. Every week he spams the forum with the links to his blog about his mighty achievements. His and his 3 to 7 friends needed for a kill. How good we are, we killed a noob that was too dumb to fall for the can flipping trap.

I already said, when you fail at other PvP games you can come to Eve. Get some similar frustrated players, exploit game mechanics to lure players into Limited combat, exploit combat mechanics(never go after ships that actually hit you) and feel good about your self.

On top of that his character is named after a book character that is literally in the humanity's cesspool. They probably share similar moral views, of course always behind closed doors.

I wonder what would happen if the Eve accounts would be linked to the Facebook accounts or Tweeter accounts like in other games and it would be visible what you actually do.

When I first read this, I sighed and thought "oh, it's this guy come to tell us how he ganked a couple of mining barges and it's all someone else's fault and he's an elite pvper because of it. yawn"

And that's half true, however I read the blog post and loved it.

1. Very well written and I chuckled more than once.
2. No ganking of barges, but scanning down of mission runners and then some smart negociation to trick them into firing on you. This wasn't picking on a clueless newb, it was picking on players who really ought to understand the concept of tracking by now.
3. You gave the Rattlesnake guy some isk. You didn't just RAWR I KILLED HIM BOW TO ME, you actually had a conscience about it and a nice chat from what I could tell.

It's a refreshing change. Nice work.

Your tears are delicious to me Tacomaco. What you call 'exploit', I like to call 'knowledge'. Where the real fail here is nerf-hisec carebears of your ilk don't want to earn & learn knowledge in EvE, they want everything bubble-wrap handed to them, to be 100% safe without effort in hisec (while they fly around in piniata Marauders or pirate battleships).

Calling for nerfs to mechanics is heresy against EvE HTFU. +1 has been added to the Kill-It-Forward queue in judgement. Innocent bear deaths, my hands, your conscience.


Actually, Feyd Rautha Harkonnen was one generation from being the culmination of the Bene Gesserit's breeding program, a single step away from being a super-being. Had Jessica birthed a female (instead of Paul) to wed to Feyd, their child would have been the Kwisatz Haderach under Bene Gesserit control. Paul's infusion of the water-of-life jump-started said evolution by a generation, usurping Feyd's children of the role of super-dudes. Hardly cesspool.

tl;dr; Feyd was HTFU personified, and didn't need pansy Skyrim-styled shouts to kill his enemies like Paul did. Also, just because Sting played Feyd in the movie Dune, doesn't mean Sting shares Feyd's behavioral traits in RL. Or *does* he?

Delicious...


Now you're just getting creepy.
