The trick is to improve the odds in your favour.


The art of gambling, my good man, is convincing others that their bad odds are better than your slightly less bad odds.

Is this what you do, when you convince people you are saving them by shooting at them?..

DIana, can you explain to me your sudden reluctance regarding collateral damage? From our discussions I thought it was a concept you understood and were emotionally prepared for?

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

I feel you misunderstood me, Tuulinen-haan.
I don't have reluctance regarding collateral damage and don't have any emotional responses to them.
What I have an emotional response for, is peoples stupidity, and the said stupidity can trigger rather harsh and emotional outbreak from my side. I am not proud of it, and try to suppress emotional reaction whether possible.

When you shoot at people, you shoot to kill. Survivors of the shooting are just lucky peoples. Obviously, there could be no survivors at all.
As for shooting to Mr. Nauplius (I believe that is the collateral damage you were talking about, please correct me if I am not right), I will give the explanation in the corresponding thread : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4932909#post4932909

Thank you for taking the time to explain for me, Diana. I appreciate it. I also agree, given the bodycount capsuleers cause daily.

Couldn't you have asked that question to Mr. Hakatain in a private mail instead of necro'ing a thread that hasn't had a post in 2 months?

Is this the same storm that assorted Minmatar terror groups have been promising for about a decade now?

We have risen from the Ashes of the dark ages and we are getting stronger for each day as more people join the matari cause over the Amarrian lies. There will come a time in the short future when the history will repeat again, the people that were blind will once again see.

I don't know why but I some how doubt this talk of the Amarr Empire's imminent demise. I still can't place my finger on why though.......

Now there's a name from the past. Didn't they disband after finding their failure to overthrow the Empire hard to digest?
