Crime & Punishment

Sad to hear PIRAT has gone down the tubes.

They used to be hella evil, as befits Mad Drunken Russians.

I am the sads.

I can confirm from experience PIRAT at least once brought fights that no other outfit would take. I can't confirm the size of their balls now but tell you what watch this spot and I'll let you know

*pinches nose*

Boycott

I hate camping, the hunting part is always more rewarding :)

Inexperience is a powerful teacher? Seems to have worked for you.

I would love to know what you call good regarding pvp? I agree most of Eve's pvp community is really just flying a common build, clicking "orbit at 500", and turning all the modules on.

The elite like to then click "overheat."

However, there is a small slice of the community who understands game mechanics, maneuver, and basic strategy. Those are the ones who are good, IMO. In my experience, most played in high a few years ago. The low sec community may have equal per-capita representation in this group, but there just aren't (or weren't, I honestly haven't played much since they killed flipping) that many down there. Perhaps there are more now.

I have never met a truly competent pvp'er from null, though I've heard they exist. There just isn't much framework to learn damage and maneuver mechanics down there... But there is plenty of isk.

This elitist idea that high-sec pvp is unskilled is silly. Most of these corps are fighting each other as well as dozens or hundreds of other corps.

If they were unskilled, low and null pilots would be up here schooling them.

hi friend, how are you on this lovely evening?

the problem is lets say in the case of this omen, perhaps there was a large fleet of wts nearby ready to pew pew when this omen gets aggro. they're mercs, but they aren't stupid. theres no point running into a fixed bayonet if you can avoid it, so to speak, and you have no clue if there was an enemy fleet nearby ready to pounce. theres no point in risking everything just for a simple omen kill, it's just not worth it.

now, regarding to this scam thing. if one lass starts screaming at the top of her lungs that "p i r a t is scam pls halp " theres a good chance no one will believe her. why? because if you look in their recent wars, they've been doing a good job. and the fact they didn't kill one omen doesn't mean that they're going down the drain and resorting to scamming. theres always a reason for something happening like that, its not worth it to tarnish your reputation for one scam, wouldn't you say?

now friend, on to another thing, i'm sure if they were unable to get ANY kills in the time you paid for it they probably would extend it out for you. or perhaps they would give you some money back, you paid for a service and they didn't get to kill anyone. you have to remember they are offering to WAR DEC, not to kill everyone in the corp. this means they don't really need to give you ur money back, u got what u paid for, a wardec. but you had to put on the tinfoil cap and look where its went....to the trash.

also proof....where is it at? you've got baseless claims bud.

tl;dr
nah

so im sorry for the situation at hand, but perhaps you've just overreacted? i wouldn't be surprised

take care, fly safe.

I don't play much these days (outside the forums, anyways) but I used to do a bit of teaching. I like doing it.

Here is the tutorial I used to start people with : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3788809

If you like that, add me and let's talk when I'm on sometime. There are a lot of things that aren't in the tutorial, but almost everything is extrapolated from what is in the tutorial.

Good luck and have fun.

Ill 2nd this...even banned me from all the PIRAT channels
