I question whether any of you should be considered pirates at all in light of the fact that there has not been a miner or npcer in the mara area in years. All you do is fight other pvpers and it seems to me that you're nothing but outlaws clinging to a label.
I feel that piracy is best defined as the exploitation of noncombatants for profit, something that neither entity does with any degree of success.

Arguing the definition of piracy is stupid and completely out of the scope of this conversation. Thus, you are stupid.
Also, as a former member of both TGA and PWNT, I heart this thread. Please keep it going for my entertainment. ----- The Python Cartel - My Pirate Blog |

It all seems pretty funny to me, to me this thread started about one corp saying how ubar they are compared to everyone else, I actually used to have some respect for CBS, sadly everytime they open their mouths it diminishes rapidly. Sadly I admit to not being as good at PVP as Garmon, but then again I havent been around Eve that long. I have been around Eve long enough that I can also say that this continual epeen stroking that some corps and their members get up too is hilarious.
Sure we loose some fights, but we have also won fights after learning from our mistakes. We try to avoid fights we may not win but then again sometimes we dont, but then again we dont run around telling everyone exactly how ubar we think we are either.
Grats you won EVE, now the rest of us can go back to having fun while your busy stroking your Epeen.

So I'm putting this out there for debate... In my opinion, The Black Rabbits is the worst Pirate corp ever. If they dispute this then bring it on for a fight. If you cant handle a little fight where we both take losses and enjoy it, then dont even come around Lonetrek again.
What a terrible post, seriously, little content, just flame bait against the friendliest group of players I've ever known. The only difference I see between you and TGA is that TGA don't take the game too seriously, they don't smack like you do, and if you do smack then you should actually be good at this game in the first place
Why isn't TGA being flamed? Because they're not going around making stupid threads like this, and if they did , it would have content, although it would probably be 2 pages of gurista RP or something stupid like that
The only time I recall engaging you guys when you wern't docked, I was dual boxing 2 battleships, engaged your 3 bs + 2 bc's, two falcons decloak, I deaggrod on both chars and was still able to jump out in time
I watched your movie, and it was terrible, sf9shootme's videos was also terrible, if they're any indication to how good at this game you both are, you're both terrible
Expect to get flamed if you make a flame post while not being able to back it up and being terrible your selves
Peace ~
you better wotch wat u r saying m8 or i will find out wher you live in real life and come rownd and cut off yore face with a cheez greater (ingame)
kind regards

I thought myself that the exploitation of non combatants for profit was a cornerstone of piracy, and I would also dissagree that we are unsuccessful in our profits, seems to me we do pretty well. I also dissagree that there hasnt been a miner or NPC in Mara area for years either.

As their skill as pirates is what is being brought into question I'd say that it is well within the scope of the conversation.

My personal opinion is that you are off the mark with your comment.
The true definition of piracy is an act of robbery on the high seas or an act resembling such robbery. Technically speaking, youÆre right, weÆre not pirates by the true definitions as we are not on the ôhigh seasö. At the same time we commit acts that resemble such robbery of which we need to add to that the fact that the concept of ôpiracyö is generally accepted in the Eve Universe. Also, there is no reference to ônoncombatantsö in the definitions.
However, let us look at the true definition of a combatant. A combatant is one that is engaged in or READY to engage in combat. Noncombatants stay in high security space where the only pilot verses pilot engagements they might encounter would be due to war declarations. Pilots know the risks of low and null security space and therefore know that they may be in for some challenges. Even if they donÆt realize the perils ahead, as might be the case with a completely new pilot, those warning systems telling them what they are about to do prior to jumping through low security gates should be a pretty good indicator. If they turned off those warning messages, well, that proves that they are prepared. Regardless of a pilotÆs reasoning for entering low security (better ore, some cheap modules, simple curiosity, etc.), when they jump through that gate, they are prepared for combat. What is my point? There is no such thing as a noncombatant in low or null security.
As to the original topic, being prepared is directly related to what Gilgamesh stated in the second post in this thread.
Originally by: Gilgamesh1980
<snip> and yeah, WE will pick our fights, not you. we would never take on a fight where we are outgunnedà <snip>
Being prepared means knowing your capabilities, knowing your environment, making calculated decisions, and in this case, knowing your opponent. Htrag, you decided that the Guristas AssociatesÆ decision not to engage was proof of cowardice and weakness. Unfortunately you didnÆt think about the situation rationally. If you had, you could have viewed the withdrawal as a sign of respect and intelligence (as in they know they canÆt beat us right now), kept quiet, and waited for another day. Rather than do that however, you decided to commence in your attempt to bring shame to the Guristas. In turn youÆve have done nothing more than to prove that successful pirates are smart, calculated, and prepared regardless if that means having to call it day and dock up or not. With that said, I too wish to thank you for your assistance in promoting the Guristas Associates. You have proven that the Guristas Associates have all the traits and skills needed to be successful.

God what a crap thread. Can you tell I was wasted last night?
Not trying to backpedal but this was just silly. I was trying to get a decent fight from TGA and took it past the level of abuse even for me.
Sorry guys.

The carebears have always been a second rate pirate corp who never lived up to the legacy of the mara pipe pirates who preceded them. Nobody really minded though because they were light hearted guys just having a good time. As such it saddens me to see htrag sinking to caod levels attention whoring like this. Why should it matter if the black rabbits aren't as good as they used to be? What happened to playing for fun?
Originally by: Umbra Vipera
The definition of real world piracy doesn't apply to eve and there have traditionally been many people in low sec not looking to fight. Yes there are warnings in place but that line of argument is not really relevant. When was the last time an itty 5 or coveter you ganked consented to the engagement?
The fact of the matter is that ****ing contests with rival pvpers are not a viable form of income compared to say, classic belt piracy or pre warp to 0 gate camping.

What the hell?
Dictionary reference (oh yes I did): 1 : an act of robbery esp. on the high seas; specifically : an illegal act of violence, detention, or plunder committed for private ends by crew or passengers of a private ship or aircraft against another ship or aircraft on the high seas or in a place outside the jurisdiction of any state
I dunno about you but I wear an eye patch, hold a cutlass in left hand, dirk in right, and drink BACARDI while I'm playing Eve. Sure I am not as piraty as Somalians or the old West Indies pirates but I'm a pirate alright! Yo! Ho! Yo! Ho! A PIRATES LIFE FOR MEEEEEEE!!!

I am a total neutral being quite new to the game, however I really have to say that I couldn't agree more with DHB Wildcat's approach to this thread. OP; Your motivations for the thread have simply made your actions illustrate you as an embarrassment.

Edited by: Tsumei Meyren on 25/09/2009 01:24:53 Wait... are you bragging... or are you nagging?
I'm confused here, atleast when I was teasing TGA it was in good fun, this doesn't even make any sense - I mean, are you trying to get anywhere at all with this topic, or is it's purpose to make it seem as if they are "weak" or losers or whatever? YOU are the one who started the whine-topic. So if they do whine, or whatever, you're still the cause of it, ergo it's your fault for even bringing up something so arbitrary that nobody even cares.
That up there was constructive critizism by the way. Also, sure, you have good stats against TGA. But again. Who the **** cares. You made a thread hacking on an entire alliance that brings in rookies, saying that because you are statistically superior, you are more "win" than them? Really? Technically that means your ammount of so-called win has to be shared among your allies which you are not officially in an alliance with for it to actually be true for you to use statistics. Additional to the fact that you say there's ten of you. I mean come on, Have you never played an FPs before? In an FPs, if there are fewer of one team, and way more of another - if the players are of an equal level, the few players will get more kills, due to the fact that the availability of targets is way higher. Also, you linked battleclinic, which is probably the best way to lose any form of credibility there is. nobody uses battleclinic but Garmon, we all know this.
Other than that, TGA were alright chaps about seven months ago when I was flying near them annoying them - and I don't see the point in making a whiny post on the forums to make yourself look better - it just does the opposite.

I'm wondering, who is the coward, the one who runs from a fight he cant win, or the one jumping in after making sure the advantage is on his side?
Yawn.
ITT seeking an advantage is a no no and equates to being a coward
