Yeah, I agree.

You should honor your word.

The whole "Eve is a dangerous place" and "Never trust anyone..." is nothing more than an excuse for people to behave like absolute douches.

Not only that, but you'll NEVER collect another cent from that guy, or anyone he talks to. Imagine if you kept your word and found him again. He'd probably blink your wallet even before you have him tackled.

You can fleece a sheep many times, but only skin him once.

I have a story in here where I skinned a sheep 3+ times. Somehow he always grew a new one.

I don't honor ransoms because other than the one guy (who paid me every time), I have not encountered victims again who were dumb enough to get into that situation twice.

And honor? Really? Being a douche is more fun.

Another story; not as much build up as the last one, and a kill that wasn't very inspiring but which ended in a really good result for me.

Cruising around for war targets as usual when I come across one alone in a system. Nothing on scan for a while until I see a Thorax with a name I recognise. It has a Vexor with it however which is a bit odd seeing as he has no corp members in local.

I decided to probe it out anyway and get a 100% hit on the first attempt after narrowing their mission location down first using d-scan. Probes in system for less than 10 seconds before they're back in my hold, score!

Warp in to the mission...gate 1...gate 2...gate 3...war target in the Thorax as I suspected, and a neutral Vexor!

Burn to the target, who apparently hasn't noticed me and lock him down. The ship pops some time later.

Kill

Start getting a lock on the pod and that soon is also locked down. I leave him just sitting there for a minute or so to see what happens and I get a convo through.

He promises that he'll pay more, so we stop. He offers us 25mil now and 25mil after we let him go. Graciously accepting the 25 mil we teach him a hard lesson about EVE. (Something along the lines of 'don't trust people because they will rip you off').

75mil in the pocket and here's the drake killmail: http://www.ineluctable.eu/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=11646.
Funny how his drake was only 66mil.

He then proceeds to start throwing profanity and threats at me, to which I responded that he could 'bring it.
After some more profanity and cursing and threatening I just start to ignore his mails (collecting tears as time passes, he just keeps getting madder and madder). He also put a 25

Then I got a mail saying this: Sorry about my younger brothers foul mouth, he sneaks on my character some times. What did he do?

I will leave you with that to figure out whether it's true or the guy is just apologetic.

yeah, very smart of you posting your low deed here.
I hope Ineluctable is ok with the reputation they'll get.
Also if you ever get caught by one of the reader, they will ransom you and pop you right after, with a pretty good justification.
Good job (Y)

So you were not, in fact, implying he is a bad person, giving his corporation a bad reputation, and that any bad action taken against him is justifiable because he is a bad person? Carry on then.

OK,

So I have been gunning to try out the new Kill Rights system. Lucky for me, this happened.

Raven Navy:
http://kane.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=15477444

POD:
http://kane.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=15477443

I was busy camping war targets when he undocked in that Navy Raven. I don't know if my large bounty blinded him, but suddenly I am being shot at by this punk. Concord swoops in to safe me and I get point on him to make sure I get the KillMail.

I noticed that just for the act of engaging me, gave me Kill Rights. So I waited, every time he logged on I go and check what he is flying. Today it was a Rattlesnake. Since you have to activate the Kill Right with him on grid I sat in system with him and a corp mate sat on the other side of the gate to point him. Knowing that a Rattlesnake can Tank like Hell I decided to bring out the big guns. It is not often anybody sees me in a Battleship.

Sure enough he lands on the gate, I activate the Kill Rights and he jumps with me jumping behind him. Corp mate points him and we proceed to do what is right and properly make use of those Kill Rights.

Rattlesnake:

POD:
http://kane.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=15501866

I must say, my first experience with Kill Rights was a very good one. Thank You CCP.

If you're not going to honor your ransoms, if you care at all about your char (as in you want to ransom more and make more money), you shouldn't then post for all to see on the public forums. The only way I see this working out for you is if you don't plan on continuing to ransom, otherwise you screwed yourself, because anyone who not only reads this, but also hears about it wont accept any demands for ransom you make.

These sorts of marks usually aren't the ones reading this sort of thread. And the ones who do are already intelligent enough not to pay a ransom.

There are pirates that honor ransoms, I want to say most do. If a pirate doesn't that makes all pirates look bad... which absolutely doesn't matter... until we bring in the idea of losing money. Call it the player is intelligent, call it the player is poor, or upset and just says ****-off, but no matter how you look at it odds are these players heard about some pirate that didn't, or worse don't honor ransoms. And that can unfortunately increase the chances of not getting paid.

I remember Tuskers were trying to become middlemen for these matters organizing their "third party ransom service". Haven't heard much since announcement though...
