You'd think capsuleer training would at least filter ranging sociopaths.

But no.

On the contrary, it seems to encourage them.

Of course it does. Complete freedom, near limitless power, and immortality tend to have the power on imperfect humans. This is why we must pursue total perfection, and then we must seek to bring all of humanity into our perfection... by one means or another....

I see what you were talking about Lady Hanaya. Anyone who thinks that Capsuleers are perfect must be DEEP into structure.

And this is supposed to embarrass me or something of that sort? An educated person would know why this is inconsequential.


Yes.

And apparently my education must be meaningless. I thought if you talked like a total bad ass, your killboard would demonstrate some talent.

Four losses but no confirmed kills by Concord? I would find myself a new master and take lessons--Mrs. Vitalia seems to have taken a shine to you. Perhaps you should beg her to take you under her wing as I did. Maker knows, she is perhaps the most influential force in my combat style and philosophy as any I have flown with. Even with your sparse record, her cruel tutelage could probably make a decent comba pilot out of you. At least you could tag along on some of her hunting trips and get a combat record to where other pilots will take you seriously. But, please, don't try shoving her out of an air lock. It will not go well for you. She would probably turn you into a eunuch, and then force you to walk around in a thong and dog collar and serve cocktails at her next social function.

If you moving to Khanid and being otherwise instructed by a master of low sec PVP such as she does not intrigue you, though, we, Ganked and T Bagged, might be interested in teaching you, since you love to fight and are apparently in need of direction.

Whatever the case, unless your killboard takes an erectile dysfunction drug and actually "gets up" to the size of your ego soon, please stop filling the IGS with even more egotism than it already has present.



Rall while I respect your talent as our fleet commander I truly believe you to be touched in the head if you think this rabid mongrel to show any ability to take direction. In all honesty I think the only thing we could teach him would be the fastest way back to the clone vats... of course looking at his record he must already know that.

Now onto the mongrel, while it is nice that you show... for a lack of a better word, ambition, you would do well to realize this about life in New Eden: It is both foolish and childish to not only refuse help when offered but to also spit in the face of those who only wish to help you succeed. However if you ignore this healthy bit of advice im giving you, well you will learn quickly what happens when your list of enemies outnumbers the stars.

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

Wow, of all the so called intelligence here, a killboard for a newcomer who has only lost a handful of ships has totally skewed the views of the narrow minded simpletons. Seeing how New Eden prides itself on its peoples intelligence, it seems to be very lacking here.

Very amusing indeed.

An intelligent warrior knows when to pick a fight and when to gracefully elude combat. There are training simulations ((OOC: "test server")) by which a warrior can sharpen his metal and not flush assets down the train. Even with my wealth, I rarely simply fly suicide ops, and I have learned I work too hard for my isk to simply go out for sport and lose a ship and a clone. Wealth is easy to come by as a capsuleer, but it takes real work, and I question the intelligence of any "newcomer" who simply wastes the precious wealth he acquries early.

Especially as a new pilot, you have a plethora of skills to train and ships to fit and fly. The more losses you take, the less likely a good group of us is to take you on and show you the ropes, as the best groups will always take the best, brightest, and most capable pilots as students.

So, continue your "education," and when you decide to no longer ride the short badger to school, let me know.

Hmm...trouble formulating a response to outright contradiction. I dont mind tallying up 50 losses in a row as long as I learned something from each. And with anything I do new, the failures only go on for so long before the successes fade them away.

I will wear many scars and each is a lesson. ISK as you say is easy to come by.

For an experienced capsulleer, I should add. 130 million isk an hour is not extraordinary for me.

What was it like again for someone at your skill level? A few months work?

Also, as someone else has pointed out earlier, scar tissue just makes you weaker, not stronger as it is romanticized. And why do you have scars anyway? Are you buying discounted clones? Be careful, I have heard the biomass of those is not processed sufficiently in many cases, and many capsuleers have found themselves plagued with various, nasty STD's after awakening. If you start itching profusely in various private areas, you should probably just buy the real stuff and pod yourself into it--lesson learned.

Pardon me, I was unaware that a figure of speech needed to be clarified to a fellow citizen of the elitist New Eden. And just so you are more informed, 130 mil isk is less than a couple hours of work for myself. And I do no mining at all.

So I say again. I will fight, I will lose, I will fight again and lose more. Until the pivotal moment where the knowledge gained outweighs the mistakes past. And then I will fight and win exponentially more than what I am losing at this early stage in my career. I have very thick skin (another figure of speech in case you didnt catch that), so the useless attempts at passive aggressive elitism are all for naught when thrown my way.

The more I read this the more I am sure that Arakkis is but an ignorant child pretending to be a warrior, after all the best toys are the ones that dont break and the second best, well those would be the ones that are easily replaced. While the basis of your theory that every loss is knowledge is sound, but that only holds true if you change your approach by such I mean know your foes, use combat simulators to see what your ship can effectively take on in combat and what is too much. There is no shame in backing out of an unwinnable fight, in fact a true warrior does not senselessly engage in a suicidal battle. However should you still wish to foolishly go flying into an unwinnable battle I suggest you either gain some co pilots to atleast take down one of your would be targets after your latest ship explodes into particles, or at the very least train into more skilled ships and modules.

You are right on some accounts. Mainly about throwaway toys being 2nd most useful. That is how I see the many frigates I have in hanger. Also, there is no shame in not fighting in a situation where winning isnt likely. But you seem to think that I throw myself headlong into a situation without analyzing my past mistakes first....something that I clearly stated is the reason why I go out to fight repeatedly. Those are my combat simulations.

So all in all, your assumptions are by and large...well ignorant.

Is there not one person among you that isnt composed of still soft biomass? I thought this universe was for those with strong fortitude.

Winning isnt just unlikely in your battles by the look of things its downright impossible, and the real ignorance is in saying that you learn something from every battle yet still making the same mistakes. I have kept an eye on your combat record and I see the same mistakes throughout it, improperly fit ships constantly going up against superior ships and in one case superior numbers, so do tell me what lessons exactly have you learned? Is it how much damage your ship can take before it breaks apart, or how despite what you seem to think you know that friends truly make the difference between victory and defeat, and the very least i would think you would know enough to at least utilize the rig slots on your ships by now.

And as to my fortitude I am quite capable of handling myself, however at the same time I realize the value of allies I can trust.

Also its fairly childish to simply call someone ignorant without atleast attempting to explain things in a better way then jsut repeating the same basic line over and over.
Now that I think about it though you are neither a Rabid Mongrel or a Child, You are but a parrot repeating the one line you know without truly comprehending it.

As I said, I thought this universe was comprised of people intelligent enough to know the truth of things. If you believe that what you see in a killfeed tells an entire story, you sir are not as intelligent as you would like to appear. Nonetheless, I continue on.
