War Kitten	Posted - 2009.10.27 18:31:00 - [31] Originally by: DONJUAN v your name should be compleat moron anyone calling a eve player ''pirate'' has to be . and who ever wants to make isk at pvp , sit in empire in a gang of 10 insured ravens and wait for a big load in a small package now on the ransom matter : ransoming a cnr for 135m is way too low meaning the ''pirate '' as you call them , already planned not to let him go 135m just seems like an offer you cant refuse when your faction bs is in hull Da facts... you has them all wrong! 135M was the settled-on counter-offer, 500M was the ransom.

DONJUAN v Tarnak inc. The Kadeshi	Posted - 2009.10.27 20:00:00 - [32] Originally by: Compleat Bacon Originally by: DONJUAN v Originally by: Compleat Bacon Please continue this policy. It will make the concept of ransom worthless, thus removing a major source of income for pirates. This will then lower the number of pirates, because it becomes less viable as a business, making lowsec almost usable. Good things come of this. your name should be compleat moron anyone calling a eve player ''pirate'' has to be . and who ever wants to make isk at pvp , sit in empire in a gang of 10 insured ravens and wait for a big load in a small package now on the ransom matter : ransoming a cnr for 135m is way too low meaning the ''pirate '' as you call them , already planned not to let him go 135m just seems like an offer you cant refuse when your faction bs is in hull on an other note , kadeshi honnor ransoms . if any pilot of my alliance ever pop you after receiving payment , plz feel free to contact me ingame . Pass grade school yet? Or is your character less than half your age yet? Basic point was, dishonoring ransoms makes the chance of anyone paying one lower. Personally, I could care less. I don't pay ransoms, and don't generally ask for one. Pirate is an Eve profession. If you don't agree, well, you have a large number of people think it exists. im -10 status live only in low sec i live out of fresh corpses and loot i say yarr and not yes i only see a pvper here if you want to put a ''pirate/anti-pirate'' tag onto them , enjoy

A wiseman The Drekla Consortium	Posted - 2009.10.28 03:02:00 - [34] Originally by: Paul Clavet this is a terrible thread. I don't mind it tbh thou the lack of pirate ransom tears is odd. For those to lazy to follow a link thou any notable emo from the cnr guy?
Logit Probit	Posted - 2009.10.28 03:23:00 - [35] Originally by: Paul Clavet Do you feel that this was a morally acceptable decision? Convert to moral relativism. Your industry will be rewarded by the ninja gods in the ninja afterlife.

For those to lazy to follow a link thou any notable emo from the cnr guy? In answer to your question: nope, there were no tears or emo involved. 15 minutes had passed (I never docked), so I began warping to the mission. Obviously, the timer didn't expire when I expected it to. While this was happening, I was much more interested in the "game mechanic"/bug/exploit of shooting a wreck to reset the timer than I was in the loss of a ship. Still am, actually. Anywho, I accepted Paul's convo request because I was curious to know how the timer was extended. When he made the ransom attempt, I initially told Paul to just shoot me. When he then offered to let me name my own price, well... what can I say? My curiosity shifted to him for a moment and I was willing to part with 135mil to test out the JGGIFT.
Heloise ChateauBriande	Posted - 2009.10.30 06:46:00 - [37] Originally by: Paul Clavet I trapped a CNR, ransomed him for 135 million, then asploded him anyway. First, this is a terrible thread. Second, you shall burn in hell for spelling "exploded" in a way which calls to mind a large intestine prolapsed through the rectum. As for the kill... it's fine. Everyone else already does the same and this is why it is shocking to me that you got any ISK out of him. Well he has now learned never to pay a ransom again and you got your ISK. Teach every other mission runner this and then we will no longer have terrible "ransom y/n?" threads in here.

Donjuan, It intrigues me that as a promise-keeper that you would have no opinion about those in the same line of business who don't honor ransom (promises). If you acted as they do then you would have greater profits (in the short run) as they do because you get ransom + loot. However if you both act this way soon no one ever pays ransoms. Every pilot you treat honorably is like a fish you are throwing back in the sea for the other guy to catch. Over the long tun YOU and YOUR CORP are impoverished compared to the toons who ransom/kill. Why do you do this? It is like there is a common resource (missioners) and you are tending it carefully and someone else takes a **** all over it and ruins your work... but you have no opinion about that other guy? Why not? - Helo P.S. I run missions. Only in high sec. Would never be caught or ransomed, period. I don't fly anything I would bother to insure nor would I care if I lost it... I'm just interested in your post. Most interesting thing on the forums in a while IMO. I didn't believe ANYONE honored ransoms anymore.
Terra Mikael Private Nuisance	Posted - 2009.10.30 07:18:00 - [39] Edited by: Terra Mikael on 30/10/2009 07:18:30 Originally by: Paul Clavet I trapped a CNR, ransomed him for 135 million, then asploded him anyway. Do you feel that this was a morally acceptable decision? And by that I mean, do you think the carebear should have decided to fly a CNR that he couldn't afford to lose? Discuss. Also, this is a terrible thread. Ethically acceptable? OP is a ***got ___________ Proof that Daniel Jackson is a ret@rded furry

Elldranga	Posted - 2009.10.30 15:15:00 - [41] Originally by: Lucia Wilber Edited by: Lucia Wilber on 27/10/2009 14:03:25 Originally by: Paul Clavet This. I don't make any claims to being great at PvP, being an uber 0.0 badass, or being an eleet piratey type. I'm a hisec griefer. I may suck at what I do, but damn if I don't have a great time doing it! This. Do what you enjoy. There's no "right" or "wrong" in a freaking video game. It's a game, and unless you're hacking or otherwise cheating, you're playing within the rules. Saying someone's not playing right is like a football team complaining because the other team is playing within the rules and still won't let them score a touchdown. "But coach! We executed that play perfectly and those griefers still got a touchdown! That's not fair!" "That's part of the game, kid." "But...but, he pretended to hand the ball to one person and then threw it to someone else! He lied to me! I was scammed!" meh... not quite the correct metaphor. There's a difference between a trick and a scam/lie. Tricking him in a way that corresponds to your metaphor would be getting HIM to send money to you for a ransom you never offered. (which there are some VERY good con artists who manage to do this) Just plain lying to him is more like you managed to bring a second ball onto the field without the refs or the other team noticing. The sort of thing that people would call "cheating" if they actually notice it happening. Cheating is easy... not thread worthy.

Bastards honor ransoms At least twice Thanks for the links. It seems as if they are working hard to get a good reputation. I wonder if they wouldn't just be better off just dishonoring ransoms so they get some ISK (maybe) and the loot? However from their posts it sounds as if they like the challenge and enjoy having the good rep. So that may be the tradeoff: less ISK for better rep. - Helo
Scrutt5 Snuff inc	Posted - 2009.10.31 03:37:00 - [43] Well, I can honstly say I have never taken a ransom and not let the guy go. There is (believe it or not), honor in piracy, wether the guy was flying a ship he could afford to lose isn't the issue here, the issue is your moral integrity. If your comfortable with a two faced image thats cool, broadcasting it to the community .... seriously un-cool. If the directors of your corp read this n keep you in employment I would suggest you look for a better corp. All in all you have made a complete arse out of yourself sir.
Judgement Dave	Posted - 2009.10.31 04:09:00 - [44] LOL you suck, thanks to your own vid for the link... http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Paul+Clavet
Cyberin Suddenly Ninjas Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service	Posted - 2009.10.31 05:13:00 - [45] You sir, are an honorless internet jerk!...and I find this quite tasteful :D Hands Off, My Loots!

General Coochie The Bastards The Bastards.	Posted - 2009.11.02 02:13:00 - [47] Edited by: General Coochie on 02/11/2009 02:14:51 Originally by: Heloise ChateauBriande Thanks for the links.

However from their posts it sounds as if they like the challenge and enjoy having the good rep. So that may be the tradeoff: less ISK for better rep. - Helo Loot is barely worth anything these days. It cannot compare to ransom isk. Getting like one extra ransom in 10 kills due to our rep easily outweighs the potential looted isk. Good rep gives more isk then the loot I'm sure off it. Good rep also gives attention and recruits. If you wanna play the evil guy and feel special about it. Go watch vasili von holst (or what his name was) and you know where the bar is at, at the moment. One dishonored ransom post on eve-o is pretty unspectacular. Got Cooch?, solo PvP movie
