Check my losses, I do stupid sh@# with T2 ships all the time. ^_^

You are by definition a coward.

You choose Hi-sec ganking so you can play big fish. You choose the amount you will lose by what ship you gank in.

By choosing T2 ships you are just showing that you are willing to lose more, when you choose too as you are apparently incapable of doing it more efficiently.

If you were a real PvPer you would be in lo-sec, Null or a wormhole fighting the bigger fish for dominance, instead you are just a sardine pretending to be a shark.


I never claimed to be a shark, not even a sardine. Check my posts and you'll see that I have, on more than one occasion, likened myself to the noble krill. The krill is far from an apex predator in the ocean, in fact it's very near the bottom of the food chain, but it is one step above you, the phytoplankton. If the phytoplankton in the ocean could talk, I'd imagine they too would hurl bitter insults at the krill, who perform the thankless job of bridging the gap between base-level autotrophs such as yourself, and higher order predators like the whale.

It is understandable, as our two occupations are by nature adversarial. But, allow me to ask you a serious question:

If everyone decided that to be "real PVPers" and earn your respect they had to move to null, then who would try to kill you? Now, really think about this one for a moment. If we are in agreement that nowhere past the undock should be safe, then it falls on someone to make it that way does it not? Who's going to try to kill you?!?

"Well, no one." you might say.
This is simply unacceptable in EVE Online. So, while you're right that a player like myself might be better suited out in null among my own kind, someone has to kill carebears, and since it's just the kind of guy I am, I accept the responsibilty.

hmmm well all mighty krill,

Well you wont find me hiding under your rock, making miners look brave. Nor would you find me in Hi-sec oh krill.

I am happy to accept risk vs reward, while yes I do have alts in high they are neither my main area of time or number of characters. So while you bottom feed pretending your insignificant existence is in some way validated, I will be out beyond the fence making some real money.

So yes please come out into the real risk vs reward of EvE, find some balls and go looking, the krill might grow up or more likely, as you normally fight unarmed targets, you will just be a bug on someones windshield.

I don't get it, somehow these carebear forum warriors perform this logic pretzel to figure somehow that gankers and bumpers are the real carebears. Its like hey, that's the derogatory word we came up with to describe you! Come up with your own word!

Then ya got space-psychologists over here calling us all sociopaths... Tisk tisk...


Nope, once again a "l337 pvp pr0 guy" uses misrepresentation to twist a statement away from it's original intent, I said they were carebears too.

Definition of "too" -->
adv.
1. In addition; also; aswell




the too refers to the standard exclusive inclusion of only miners and mission runners as carebears
the standard definition is therefore by default erroneous

id explain it graphically with a venn diagram, but the forums dont support it.
but even a simple picture might be too taxing for you.


thats a different usage of the word 'too' btw ... just so you know.

Someone who does not require life validation via a computer game.

They are people not driven by anger, self doubt and they have no need to make others feel as bad.

Or more simply put, they are the people who are not bullied in the work place, so they have no need to bully others.

Also a very good definition.

...or at least it would be if it weren't for the strong tendency among carebears to be the one to express the most anger and have their interactions with other players driven by that emotion; to treat any kind of intrusion into their game bubble as being a hideous attack against their person, as if all their validation stood or fell with their virtual worth; and to demonstrate such self-doubt that they cannot separate legitimate game conflicts from real bullying and violence. They also have this nasty tendency to immediately use personal attacks and similar attempts at making people feel bad when this game of player-to-player conflict doesn't go their way.

Now that killing you is profitable again, I would like to cordially welcome you back to EVE Online. Unlike that game you were playing in November, EVE is a mulitplayer game in which you are a target. It requires some amount of cunning, situational awareness, and general paranoia. On some level you will feel a bit uneasy when you undock, this is working as intended, and we welcome you back into our ranks as typical, slightly nervous EVE players. Have fun, see you in the belts. ;)

Once the bounty hype is over, it will change into a more natural business. You'll see, folks. Don't panic.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

I am new to this game and always wonder what carebear means?? Please clarify


I attempted a thread to get some clarity on the issue myself. Trust me, it goes nowhere. Your own definition is as good as anyone else's.

Eh, search around on the forums a bit, many people have attempted a dictionary-definition. I will just say that I apply the term loosely to anyone in highsec I catch doing what I would consider to be "carebear stuff".


So ganking non-combat ships = carebear? I just want to be clear.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Being a space-psycho is fun. Being a krill not.

It may not be the most exhilarating job, nor the most lucrative, and as you can see, I get no respect, but by god somebody's gotta do it.

Thanks for the welcome but we've been at the party for years. Carebears got targeted on a semi-regularly basis in all the previous systems this just adds anew flavor to the frosting.

EVE has never been safe unless you stay docked. Just remember the bounty system is a two way system. You kill carebears and they sell the kill rights. Should make for some interesting back and forth.

I personally welcome our new Bounty Overlords.

Go ahead... Get your Wham on!!!

I, for one, salute you Pig! Performing the thankless, but vital task of injecting risk into the mindless masses of mining morons with no thought of recompense for yourself. In my humble estimation, you sir are a great hero of hi-Security space.

OINK!

Yes I have seen how the poor live in this game, scratching out an existence.

It sickens me....

People like you pretending to do a worthwhile job, when in reality you are just homeless people putting left overs in your old trolleys.

People like you should be relocated for your own good, into the middle of Null so you can be shown how to make a real living, while making Hi-sec a more picturesque place for everyone else to go.

When I read this thread I can't help but think how much Galaxy Pig looks like Sid from Toy Story. Watch out for Disney lawyers! I hear they place a mean bounty.

A completely natural reaction for people unused to being bullied, It is harder to process an unusual emotion than it is to follow a normal pattern.

Yes some carebears do blow a fuse, this must be said but as there lives do not normally contain bullying, violence or the like this is understandable if some unsavory elements enter their world picture.

but much like road rage is an excuse for bullies to act out on the weak and innocent, ganking is just peoples way of gaining validation on how great they perceive them selves to be.

Or more simply put, they are the people who are bullied in the work place, so they need to bully others.
