Originally by: Shasz I ransomed a guy's vagabond for 100M, nothing spectacular there. He paid the ransom in time not to lose his ship.
What he didn't manage to do in time was turn off the self-destruct.
OK that made me lol.

Two nights ago, my alliance scanned a wormhole from low sec and found an '09 pilot with a newly put up tower that was onlining guns. So we jump in to the tower and try and kill him in his Merlin. He obviously did not know what he was doing at first, as he was flying to each gun and onlining it while he was outside the shields, so we start taking the guns out, failing to catch him. After trying to get him to pay us 100 mill to get us to leave, he replied (in very rough english, he is Russian) that he does not have 100 mill on him, so I ask for the Domi that he had floating around. He replied that he cannot fly it, so we ask for the password to the tower so we can grab it ourselves. He quickly obliges, we take the Domi and fly home. Nice little haul for... nothing!

I have a guy who's paying his ransom in installments. I caught his Raven, and demanded 50m. He said he didn't have it, and I was in a hurry. So I said he could pay me 10m now, and join the EZ-Payment Plan of 8 fortnightly repayments... and even though I haven't been in that region for weeks, and almost never online at the same time, every fortnight, the payment turns up. Who said there's no trust in Eve?

Best story so far, in my opinion. Made me chuckle.

I tried the same to a newbie player that was mining in a Rokh. Agreed to let him go, and told him to pay me the ransom when he could. Never saw a single ISK :(

I got caught in missioning in lowsec in a BC about 4 years ago when I didn't know it was actually dangerous. The ransom they asked for was a song. I can't sing for sh*t, but offered some Led Zeppelin solos, guitar processor is plugged in to PC anyway. They said "who's Led Zeppelin?", so I asked them to pod me back to hisec please.

Ransomed a pos out in w-space 2 days ago. A guy was onlinning it alone. In an industrial. With the offline lab/refinery when my friend and I came upon him. Ganked the hauler, went and got mine, stole the gear, ransomed the corp to get us to leave him be as no local means you can lie about your support. Honored mind you, and kept things polite (apart from the whole stealing his stuff part)
His ceo was not amused. I think we emptied the corp wallet.

This thread has given me an idea. The next time I find someone "ransomable" I am going to ransom their ship for a game of riddles. If they win, they keep the ship, if not, ka-boom. I will henceforth be known as The Riddler

I once can flipped a guy with a full can of ore. I convoed him and told him if he didn't pay 1M I'd destroy the can of ore. He paid 1M and took the ore back and I pointed his ship and took it to hull. Then I told him he could keep his ship for 1M (it was a Retriever). He paid up again and then I blew him up. I thought it was funny.

If you ransom someone, hold yourself to the ransom. If you just blow them up anyway, you break their trust in accepting ransoms in the future. This hurts all pirates around.
So cut it.

Warped into a lowsec system I have been having fun in the past few days with my new merlin (old one died, lol oh well, got a thorax with it).
And this system is highsec on other side... anyways i get into the system and there, next to the gate, is a hyperion. I'm thinking okay,,, he's not moving, may as well tackle him and try to get in on a killmail.
Just before I move, he opens a convo with me (we were the only two in system). He says if I want my ship, I'll have to pay. So I hit the AB and start circling him.
"5 mil for your ship". "lol bring it on".
So as soon as he fires, I tackle him down and start attacking the drones. Gate guns make pretty short work of the drones, and then they start leaning into his hype. I'm watching as his armor is taking fair chunks and then replenishing,,, almost to full, just a little under. And again, just a little less.
"lol nevermind" the hype pilot says as his armor is dropping under half. I'm LOLing to myself at this point, but the poor hyperion pilot took the stargate into the neighboring system. I was a little off so I quickly burned to the gate to try to rengage, only to find his wreck and a pod warping away. Took me a few trips but I did get his mods :) No KM though :(

How about my most Epic ransom attempt failure instead.
I think my most epic ransom "attempt", was my biggest face palm ever in EVE. I was chasing a belt ratting Harbi around the belts in Kourmonen while flying a Myrmidom. He kept warping out just before I landed.
This went on for about 3 belts, on the last one just as I was warping out a Drake piloted buy a guy I had killed the night before landed in the belt. I decided to try and go for the Drake and clicked on what I thought was a same belt and warped back.
Well, I land in the place I "think" is the belt and a few seconds later the drake lands about 10km behind me. I locked him up and aggro him, but didn't really want to kill him because I don't like picking on the same guy over and over.
I'm taking pretty decent damage so I get him in a ransom channel and start trying to ransom him. He tells me to go ahead kill him which I didn't really want to do but heh suite yourself I'm thinking.
Well, it was about this time, that I came to the realization that I was on a station and had been taking station guns and not his drake. Here I thought it was his drake that was killing my drones.
I ended up tanking about 35k damage from the station guns and 10 or 12k from the Drake, before dieing in a total face palm moment. The only thing that made up for it, was the fact me and another guy caught a Mackinaw in a belt and ransomed 60 mil out of him the same night.

Once (3 years ago?) a corpmate and me were engaging a Baalghorn, me in a Hyperion and he was in a Dominix. It was an epic fight and it looked good for him a couple of times, but eventually he was starting to go down. He then offered 1b ransom, which made us greedy and we got hesitant. We stopped shooting and he....jumped through the gate as he had deaggroed a while ago. epic. epic fail ;) should have just popped him. Still makes me sad after all these years...

I tried to ransom a nub destroyer in OMS for 10bil isk. He didn't comply, so after about 8 minutes I popped him (mostly due to massive local spike spooking me).
I then invited him onto eve-voice and in a bizarre twist sang "why can't we be friends" to him.
Good times.

Edited by: Eman Name on 27/02/2010 21:24:06 I was in a hurry and wanted to fly through low sec with a hauler and, on my alt, I saw the gate was camped. I paid the fc 5 mill in advance and got through without any hassle. I felt rather rich and pimpy at that moment even though I lost 5 mill on the profit.
Btw. Someone should make an in eve songs post: there are lots of people singing to get out of trouble.

I once stole a can that a carebear was tractoring around to store his mission loot. When he shot at my vigil, I warped in my Orca and hot-swapped to a Tengu. Took him way down and demanded 100M to let him keep his Dominix. He paid. I then demanded another 50M. He paid again. Then I blew up his ship. I then sold him 1 unit of Reports to complete his mission for 10M even though they're available on the market for mere thousands.

I was mining in WHS with an orca and hulk, went to take the orca back into the system next door where our POS was only to get attacked, so i jumped back, he followed me, got the orca down to hull before he convo'd me, asked for a ransom, which i paid, jumped orca back to POS system and the WH died trapping him with no probes. We both had a good laugh as he set his ship to self destruct.

Edited by: Pajama Sam on 28/02/2010 17:15:22 I caught a mining Rokh in a T1 fit Rifter. I had to hold him for a little over an hour before he agreed to pay. After he payed, and I turned off my scram, he ejected from the Rokh. So I got 100 mil and a free Rokh because the guy didn't know how ransoms worked I guess.
