I have heard lately about some players getting all pissed off (verbally) when a 2nd and sometimes 3rd player has entered the rat site that the first person has already started killing rats. And the 2nd and maybe 3rd player that comes in starts killing rats also.
Is there an unwritten rule or protocol that says the first player in the site owns that site and no one else should get involved?

The unwritten protocol is get out of highsec. In null you can shoot people who dare to look at your rats or roids or planets or anything, even if they are blue to you. Oh it's just wonderful i tell you.

I personally leave the site if someone else has started it.
Eve, however is a bit like the cheetah and the lion. The cheetah does the hard work chasing down prey and the lion comes along and takes it, unless the cheetah wants its head crushed in the jaws of the lion he trots away looking for a new meal. |

Agreed I stopped combat exploration because right as I get to the end of a site, a t3 come in and grabs the spawn and leave, and stopped hacking sites because of the stupid minigame mixed with loot spew that doesn't mark looters as criminals

The unwritten rule is that the one which grabs the lewt in the end is the one who gets the profits.
If i do high sec exploration i will only leave the site of the person already in it is blue to my corp/alliance. If the person is neutral or even red its a race to the end, and that fairly often me who gets the loot. A lot of people also don't know the triggers so its quite easy to steal plexes. |

Sometimes alliances and corps have their own rules. It's a good thing to break them sometimes. Resolving the issues of who did what and when and to whom in the Pith's Penal Complex is exactly the sort of content that people who play Eve Online: The Middle Management Sim love to sort out.
The Manson motto.... "they shot back first" Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85 |

Your sunglasses are ugly and that background looks like doodoo.
(just gettin mah complaints in) The risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built and we want to keep that (infact, this is much more representative of the consensus opinion within CCP). |

I go out of my way to follow people around in a fast ship and ninja the faction loot can for a laugh, then lie about its contents when the person convo's me to rage (it's usually rubbish loot, but funny to tell them it was a B-type invuln or similar).

When someone is in a combat site, I find it only polite to leave them alone in high-sec. Competition is for low-sec and null-sec.
Considering that the loot in high-sec sites is usually not even that good, it's hardly worth it to be an impolite jerk. And a cheap one on top of that.
Since gates can be closed, Eve should offer the option to put a private lock on them in high-sec. A 'jump and lock' option. Where the lock is a consumable that can be build by the players ofc. The lock should stay active as long as the 'owner' is in the site.
A real pirate can still scan down people to get in them.

I still folow that rule. Unless you're a neut in null, then I will start 'ratting" right away
But in all reality, your average h-sec dweller is too safe or too alt to bother with longterm playingstyles.

When I was new I used to run a lot of exploration sites. This guy came in and started not only going for cans, but going for the same ones I was at! Asked him to stop, he said it's not my stuff. So I waited a week, hired wardeccers and shut his corp down for 2 weeks.
Over-reaction yes, wouldn't do it today, but really... don't get in the way of other people's profits unless you're willing to fight. |

No. People are getting pissed because they want you to go away, which has nothing to do with any written or unwritten rules which may or may not exist in someone's head or elsewhere.
