Well, it's not someone hauling around 25 Billion isk in assets. Not trying to be rude here, but your either stupid, or playing stupid. I mean that in the most sincere & respectful way.

Quote:Not trying to be rude here, but your either stupid, or playing stupid. No, I'm explaining to you why your categorical statement is useless: because it either offers zero protection or it protects the wrong people by creating massive exploits that are far bigger a problem than the ganking of newbies could ever be.
You're trying to forbid something without defining what is forbidden. That's a horrible and untenable solution that only creates more problems.
And no, discretion isn't really needed. You can easily create a rule that offers the required protection while still being crystal clear and without creating all those exploits and loop holes.

In your opinion, I respect it. I just don't agree with it, "Respectfully". Further more if you can't actually make the distinction in what makes a new player carrying 25B isk in assets, not a rookie then your whole prospective, and position comes to me as highly in question. Just being honest here. |

If you think this is to difficult, I can't help ya. By the way Ruby, just so you know, there isn't a thing that is crystal clear in the land of EvE. It's all pretty murky. I disagree 100% with what you say, I give the GM's there leeway. I trust them completely in this area. They have the tools, and the methodology to find out when a rat is a rat.
1) A million grains of sand is a heap. 2) A heap of sand, minus one grain is still a heap.
Repeated application of premise two to premise one results in one grain of sand being a heap. Zero grains of sand being a heap, and negative grains of sand being a heap.
This is Sorities Paradox.
1) A person with 10,000,000 SP/25billion ISK is not a rookie. 2) A non-rookie with one fewer SP or ISK is still not a rookie.
Repeated application of premise two, yadda, yadda, yadda.
If there is a bright line between rookie and not-rookie, please, Montressor, point it out to me, because I don't see any such bright line using publicly viewable information.
As for trusting the GMs, that's not the issue here. The issue is not knowing if I am going to be banned for shooting someone because there is no way for ME to know if my target is someone the GM's consider to be a rookie or not. I may have different interpretations of what is "obviously" a rookie than the GMs because we are working from different information. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody. |

Define what a Rookie IS. Don't just list examples of what it is not.

I am sure that most of you understand our goals, now assuming you had ZERO development time, how would YOU word a policy that achieves these goals? Go back to the way everyone (including some of you guys, going by old petition quotes) thought it worked: In the starter and carreer agent systems, all forms of aggression games and unprovoked attacks are prohibited. Outside of the starter systems, anything goes. That is the policy. It means the distinction between rookie and vet becomes completely irrelevant, and it removes the ability to use rookie-like characters to hide behind the fear of the banhammer while still giving the rookies a safe zone to play in. And there we have it. A perfect, 100% sensitive rule for protecting newbies. Calling Everyone in a newbie system a newbie is an acceptable result, since all we're asking for is a Concrete answer to "What constitutes a newbie, in a Newbie system." This is to avoid landmines. We don't like landmines; we like mines that have big blinking lights. If there's no way for you to clearly define a newbie to the public, then say EVERYONE is, and enforce that. Hulk gets ganked; enforce it. 9 year old ibis gets ganked; enforce it. 2 day old ibis with a plex gets ganked; enforce it. Keep enforcement as regular as humanly possible so that it's crystal clear. . This works. A bit dracnionan, but entirely functional, easily understood, and no rules-lawyering. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing. |

You didn't answer the question: what is it that precludes the guy carrying the 25bn cargo from being a rookie?
Why do you feel that it's ok for me to blow him up and make him sour on the game and quit before his third week is up, when you think it's hideously wicked and evil to blow someone else with the same amount of game knowledge up and make him sour on the game and quit before his third week. What separates one from the other? Why is it ok, by you, to grief some rookies and not others?
Look, it's very simple. It took me maybe 30 seconds to figure out how the goons will massively exploit your rule to provide safety for all their assets and get you banned in the process. In the same time that it took me to figure it out, the goons, who are much better at being goons than I am, will not just have figured it out, but also written an extensive wiki on it, created the scam website, set up the blind accounts, and laughed themselves into a coma from how easy that one was to twist into something completely unwholesome.

If what makes that character definitely, for sure, 100% not a rookie is so easy to define, why don't you simply do that instead of insisting that one should "just know"? |

Right. Well doesn't it seem pretty obvious that a genuine rook wouldn't gave 25B Isk worth of anything. Hmm. How would a real beginner player lay his hands on that kind of scratch. Hmm . Man I honestly don't think you get this, really. I'd like to see someone live there lives with out a little discretion. I guess discretion and EvE just don't match up very well eh.

It's not at all outside the realm of possibility. Somewhat improbable, but a new player could very well luck their way into a poorly managed corporation with a substantial amount of assets. 25B could be attained as easily as someone failing to lockdown a high value blueprint or two.

Quote:Man I honestly don't think you get this, really. GǪand I honestly think that you can't answer the question and are stalling. This rather highlights the entire problem with your rule: it arbitrarily and for no apparent reason lets me gank some rookies but not others, even though both are equally new, with equal (lack of) knowledge about the game, and with the same result of the gank (them being fed up and quitting before their third week).

I'm thinking more along the lines ofGǪ
GÇ£Oh hai newbie. I'm from GoonWaffe GÇö maybe you've heard of us? Want to join? It's not hard GÇö you just have to haul this package from A to B as a kind of test that you're past the tutorials, and if you make it, you're in! Go to goon-newbie-scamhaulers.com and check out where to go and whom to talk to.GÇ¥
Genuine newbie; know so little about the game that he doesn't even spot the obvious scam; attacking him is a horrible offence because he's still just barely able to use jump gates. So either people don't and the goons get free/safe hauls, or the guy ganking him is tossed out of the game. Win-win.
GǪalternatively, the GMs have to not apply the GÇ£don't kill newbiesGÇ¥ rule in this case and have to allow people to kill them. But only someGǪ because not all genuine rookies are to be treated as genuine rookies. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

I don't know, it's not hard to get into some corps. On that note, though, what would the verdict then be if a rookie were recruited and corpkilled?
If we're saying that getting oneself into a corp defines one as no longer a "valid" rookie... |

Naa, you r just good at speewing words all over the place to mask you personnel short comings.
I will say this, if a weak ship went by me anywhere, that wasn't friendly, say a (2) day old player with 5B isk in his cargo hold, he would be KABOOOM, just like that. I'd do it for the ISK period. I can think of dozens of situations where I personally wouldn't think twice bout killing a newer player. I personally feel I could make a mistake, and would live with the warning, or consequences. But I feel pretty confident in my ability in identifying who's actually new, and who is pretending. |

You've got to be kidding me. People still trying to figure out what is or is not a rookie?
Fast losing respect for some people who were sensible in the past who keep trying to get a definition of what a rookie is or is not.
The argument to define a rookie is sounding like this. You get caught for speeding and your argument to the judge is, "But your honor, theres no speed limit on the berm!"

Why would that be the case?
I was once "recruited" into a corp whose recruitment strategy consisted of email-spamming anyone in Amarr who was in an NPC corp. The CEO was a hulk pilot, but most assuredly did not know his head from his ass. After the third or fourth spam email, I joined the corp and proceeded to indiscriminately* pop my new corpmates... some of whom were, in fact, legitimate rookie players (in the "haven't yet figured out how to work the overview" sense). Knowlege of gameplay was not magically conferred upon them by the act of having joined a corp. Most of them probably figured, "Hey, these people are promising to help me out with isk and experience if I join them - sounds like a pretty sweet deal, why not?" The notion that one of their fellow corpmates could - or would - blow them up hadn't so much as been mentioned to them yet... so why, exactly, would you define those players as not being rookies?
*I did start with the CEO's hulk, though. |

Pretty pathetic that a simple question that quickly get's answered can devolve into a 14 page saga of technicalities and smarm.
It's almost as though the cries of 1,000 nerds were heard at the same time, then, silence.
There are never any nullsec fight threads that are this popular. It makes it clear that much of the playerbase lives off attacking rookies and mining ships. Epic bravery, playerbase is stale and showing off the games age. |

Anyone who wonders why the real world has so many laws that the lawmakers dont even know the total number doesnt have to go any further than reading these threads to understand why.
Some people need the clarity of laws ( rules ) in their lives because they dont have that bone in their head that tells them the difference between what is wrong and what is right.
Others just want to be left alone so they dont have to keep reading law after law that outlaws walking backwards, down a sidewalk, with an icecream cone in their back pocket. When it comes to PvP, I am like a chiwawa hanging from a grizzley bears pair of wrinklies for dear life. |
