Do you guys even have permits? I'm having a hard time understanding the logic of your statements without permits.


And here comes some ganker who does not even live in low sec.


I frequent it but don't live there. Its too much of a commute to my job bringing justice to miners and saving highsec.


Don't forget you're too busy being brilliant in the alliance tournament and spending countless hours making up lies about what happened to actually be good at Eve.

This pretty much explains it all. The community is a bit on the edge with CODE anyways. The AT thing only made it worse.

I've been in Slovenia on business since Saturday so all I know is heresay besides the Clockwork Pineapple gank which is hilariously true. I was not eligible for AT this year so i didnt really follow much regardless. That all said, I'm not too busy being brilliant about anything except on interpreting the Code (though I appreciate the compliment all the same.)

I get this stuff daily. Especially now that i hi-sec wardec corps.

But when i was pirating out or Mara and down the Mushikegi pipe i always would honor a ransom. Only one time did i not honor it and that is because the target lied and got caught out. I tagged his Navy Raven in Hasama and ransomed 100 million. He said he didn't have it so we agreed on 80M. He then transferred 800M to my account. I then blew him up...........he asked why and i told him it was because he had lied.

Let's just say that he had a "Tender Moment" in the chat.

I don't think that i ever read such a passionately vile rant that was so filled with hatred that i swear he was going to pop a blood vessel.

I don't follow your logic (or the lack thereof). I haven't even logged into client since Saturday :) if that is why I suck then there's little I can do about it.

The logic is, whatever your personal situation might be is irrelevant. Your alliance has earned you the right to shut your mouth for a good long time. Your participation in the chat boards is as a representative of your alliance, which is currently obligated to hang its head in silent shame, rather than spout the same jokes about permits that haven't been funny in the longest time.

We are way off topic now. As much as I enjoy talking poorly about CODE we lost focus on the main thread.

The downside of paying Ransoms is it may get you watchlisted as an easy mark.

Watch listing is also the main reason not to fly with shiny pods. The billion ISK for implants lost is nothing really just annoying once you get established in game - but getting watch listed for a potential "shiney pod" can be an ongoing pain in the butt.

They can provide a pretty awesome boost to fits
Like slaves give 30% more armor, crystals 50% boost, Halos are the only sig reducer in existence
The hardwires are pretty obvious why, free percentage and hiend free extra skill level!

PS just got fail ganked by a vexor, now at 6 vexors on the same badger
Got locked and shot right after cloak drop in Hisec

So, no ransom, nada just a shoot me and fail
Check KB for name, I got her instead.

If the right to speak is contigent on achievement, we've still done loads more than you. I'll concede pressing a retort to your ill-mannered insult to avoid derailing the original post, though I will say we won't be "shutting our mouths" or "hanging our heads in shame" as you so eloquently put it, for quite some time (and if anything will ramp up operations in times to come). You sound very angry, perhaps you should take a break from the game.

There are very few 'pirates' left in EVE. Most people living in low/null are PVPers. They want the killmail, not the isk. any loot you drop is just a bonus.

why? because there are simple other, better ways to make money. running plexes or having a highsec alt run missions/incursions.

pirating for ransoms is a terrible way to make money. it rarely pays off large.


Most piracy in fact takes place in HiSec these days. I was a pirate for the longest time before changing career paths.

I can't believe anyone seriously wants to bring up "pirates of yore." The "Golden Age of Piracy..." You really don't want to go that way. The only "legend" from then is found in fiction today. THEN, they were criminals just like "terrorists" today. Governments sent fleets to destroy them. They were hung on sight, and nobody - NOBODY - but them wanted to be them. Get your facts straight in making comparisons here...or not. Yeah, you can talk out your @$$. Somebody said everybody wants to be the lead singer...I was in several bands over the many years as the lead singer, and I guarantee you, the rest of the musicians weren't bum rushing the mic to see who got there first. Again, the fiction...people who have nothing to do with music think the lead singer is everything. People who haven't got a clue about the past think Jack Sparrow is the who to be.

You can't be a pirate in this game simply because that kind of behavior is sanctioned, it's not punished.
You aren't an outlaw. You're an in-law. You suffer no retribution, no ostracization, and you certainly
don't pay a price of any sort for it. In fact, this so-called piracy is so laughable it's hard to imagine anyone
wishing to see themselves as competitive and competent gamers admitting publicly to doing it.
To discuss it like you're putting a fine point to it? How delusional can you GET?

Dunnat make me laff. Pyrates...in EVE. Funny. Drink your cocoa and watch some cartoons.
School starts up in a week...kids.


I'm still a pirate. And "logistics" do healing. Jeez dude, you might wanna take the semantics rant to Rancer.

We're just taking the pirate theme from books and movies, not that from actual history. It's altism that makes pirates evade their sanctions easily, not core mechanics. Eve Piracy is not competative, it's resource harvesting at best. I'll admit it takes about the same level of competence as running a mining laser, it's just infinity times more fun. I must be extremely delusional to try and have fun in an MMO, right? Relax mate, it's just a friggin' video game. With pirates. Pirate

Since I presume you have access to the killboards you can pat in vain if you prefer. and I dont mind the cookie; call it a bonus on a 21 bil freighter gank.
