Some are stupider again. Props for story, vengeance, patience and general finesse in pulling this off.

Worst part is I stumbled upon him with 2 rr exeq's with no points as I was returning from a roam. I had to burn back out of system While I waited for somebody to turn up with a point :D

BTW good post. Saved it for future reference

no, not every inc runner is that stupid, just a majority that don't want to do anything more to shoot red crosses with the fleet, I was banned from 1 channel for telling my fleet I was running with about an ingame event.

guy you killed hadn't played from 07-11 but has been active since then and even in other corps that have been in wars, one being blue republic. somehow he didn't know anything about wars, notifications, markings etc.

I know another inc runner that has like 82b on 1 of his characters so yeah, I run enough to make payment for my account plus some and run off to do other activities.

Haha. Yeah it was a small and insignificant reason to focus on him, but even having a little reason behind the madness is a lot of fun.

The very first loss I ever had was to a can flipper. He stole my ore and I got my rifter out and died horribly! I should see if he's still around and cause some trouble for him... "Remember that retriever you can flipped and you killed his Rifter 3 years ago? HI!"

And we wonder why players are leaving the game. Such a good mentality

Well CCP discovered that players who engage in PVP are more likely to stay, so I would say your statement has been proven false. Players that leave the game are more likely bored to death because all they do is PVE, and no matter how good you get at it, it will never be as exciting as PVP.

It's comments like this that are extremely irritating. What we have here is players interacting with each other in the sandbox. One player does something that a group didn't like, and we seek revenge and to teach a lesson. What exactly is wrong with that? I'm sorry we didn't wish him well and allow him the opportunity to make isk hand over fist in this fairy dust and butterfly toots of a video game.

Sure there are extremes, but this is hardly crossing any lines. What people like "you" want is to turn this game into another wow clone where everyone can get along and not have to think about risk / reward and consequences to their actions. Eve is a niche game and always has been. Eve has been like this from the beginning. Stop trying to change something that existed in this manner before you started playing. If someone leaves the game because of a wardec, good. Eve online is obviously not the game for them.

I have also added you to my reading list although I'll admit the first piece I read was your double Jedi Mind Trick article. Thank you for writing, and I may just contact you to see what I can do to aid your efforts. :)

4 bil to an incursion runner is chump change. The poors worry too much about paltry amounts of isk. Elite players, whether in nullsec or highsec, don't dock up just because of some crummy war or killright. You take it like a man and isk tank.

Why veers only last week you were saying when your at war you simply dodge it or stay docked up and play on an alt account? Are you saying that you do not 'take it like a man'?

No, I just roll corp because I'm in a one man throwaway corp I could care less about. Were I in a real corp that I couldn't just drop and reform, I certainly would not cower in fear and dock up for the week.
