Crime & Punishment

Croakroach comes and goes, always been this way, I believe he's back to FW right now, good for him.

I admit we have had a low activity peak lately (myself just came back after a month's hiatus) and we lost great comrades in Snipes Incorporated when they decided to move on and go back doing some low/nul piracy for a change - We parted on good terms and wishing them good luck in their new endeavours, anything to prevent the game to get stale.

I believe another corp was shed, it was when I was inactive, dunno if they were kicked or left by themselves. These things happens - old pilots come back, some leave, new blood come into play, all in a great merry circle as you well know.

Now, not to derail that thread too far, least it gets locked (OHNOOOES!!) - I always honour ransoms myself. But then, I never ask for any, for I like the pretty explosions.

Bwahahah.

I can shed some light on this if you dont mind. It's actually within our averages although a bit lower than previous months since we had some non-combat stuff on our agenda this month. I'm predicting it will be back to normal or above the next month

Also I can say that we are growing, Xorphix being our newest addition to the team actually.
Jealous of a multibillion killmail? I think everyone in the PvP business likes these, so yeah I'd be happy to have one of those but sooner or later I'm sure we will get there too.

So our affairs are perfectly in order

Edit for actual on-topic stuff:

I think one should honor a ransom if both parties agreed to it.
But then again I would not have agreed on a ransom of only 2b when a hull worth almost 7b is tackled. I'd probably go with hull price as ransom and let him go. Victim gets to keep his ship and possibly freight without having to buy a new one etc. and agressor gets a nice amount of ISK in return. win, win. That is for non-contract wars obviously. If contracted one should never accept ransoms unless the client stated otherwise, imo.

lol 10b kills alliance. thats effin sad.

lol forum alt... so sad.

Only when they provide valid feedback. Not to chirp nonsense, while hiding.

I have never ever honored a ransom ever. And unless you get space famous like mr kane (xoxo) no ones gonna know if you honor them or not.

There have been many times victims been all like "yo how i know you gonna honor it?" And im all like "dude its how we make money we have to else no one will ever pay ransoms again I PROMISE" then they pay and i blow em.

Yah that dude may not ever pay again. Good thing theres like 40k people logged on and i really didnt want his isk again anyways lol. But seriously it gets me hard to dishonor ransoms. Like the best feeling of my entire day. Nothing like it. Better than sex better than fak-con better than Seinfeld.

Yes sir

I don't think this is the proper place to be pimping your services ....

Personally I honor ransoms and have done so historically whenever I remember not to just shoot things. The only way to give incentive for ransoms is by honoring them and having a reputation for doing so.

That being said, I'd rather just kill you (In game of course).

KILL EM ALL,

Just for clarification, we are required by alliance policy to kill all contract targets regardless of ransom or no ransom. In fact as most of our contracts are 'max damage infliction' ransoming and killing could be encouraged to fulfill the contract guidelines.

On the other hand with non-contract targets it is up to the pilots discretion on what they do when they ransom somebody. So labeling all of FA as dishonorable on ransoms is not accurate. Some of us indeed do honor ransoms and some of us never ransom at all.

We are sorry your experience has been unpleasant. But in the future please understand that you are taking the risk by handing out isk and it is always your choice.
