Sorry, it's a bit of text, but maybe you can read it while structure bashing, mining or something else.......

Not only is blackmail of that sort not a "crime", it's perfectly normal and celebrated game play. It's also a pretty toothless threat, since wardecs under the current mechanics are so trivial to circumvent and because even in the worst case scenario the only thing of yours that he can affect are imaginary space-assets. I don't know about you, but losing Monopoly money never made me want to ragequit Monopoly.

My impression of Tora is that he has a keen sense of his role being to stir up drama - to make sure that the story of Highsec is an interesting one, where every story has conflict and clear antagonists. It is a role he plays very well.

Sounds like EVE as usual. If you fear wardecs, you might want to consider leaving Highsec.

But telling that everyone get a wardeck untill rejoining GS-E or quit Game is right?

I think there must be something wrong.

Toras a known and admitted carebear on alts. He gets scammed/trolled often too. He avoids/runs from arguments.

You cant be a badass merc and then go carebear on ur alt and still be a badass.

CODE DEFEATED MARMATE. MARITE LOST WAR. Tora gets scammed by goons and gets his carebear alts ganked and cries.

Well, I get that its a threat, but its not blackmail.

Blackmail would be more like what Bronson does with his "give me isk and I won't tell everyone where you mine" types of ransoms.

This is really simple,

You took 500b so buy a new main with a fresh account

Even if someone found out who you were go to low/null

Marmite will not follow you to low/null because the risk isint worth it for them

Inb4 someone says freight club is lowsec, Yeah they are but they are only in marmite for the wars to catch jfs.

That's not blackmail. Blackmail is threatening to reveal compromising information about a person unless they do what you want.

What you received was a (ingame) threat. Both are within gameplay rules and happen all the time.

I like your style.

EDIT:

So the OP's pdf file finally finished downloading. And I must say, I am impressed! Tears of this quality definitely encourage me to vote Tora Bushido for CSM. Keep up the great work, Tora!
