Dafuq did I just read?

It was quite a bad idea you had there

Haha, mace is one of the many illegal weapons in the uk and yes it does tend to happen a bit round here :)

Bought a funny "non-harm" self defence weapon (i know nice concept there my government) for my ex girlfriend which consisted of a can of blue foam that empties entirely in 3 seconds into the assailants face when you pull the trigger. This temporarily blinds the attacker (just blue foam not irritant) and dyes their skin neon blue for 4 days. Its a sorry turn of events when self defence weapons are reduced to mere playthings

glad you made out ok, if thats the norm in your area id suggest getting a can of mace , or something along those lines.

whenever im out on road trips i always take along a can of bear spray :P 15 foot range and wow, what a wollup

Try wasp spray instead. It's not lethal.

That's a very situational tool. If help is near by, it gives you valuable time. Yet it has a lot less stopping power than real irritant inducers.
If there are multiple assailants, wasp spray may just **** them off enough to chase you down when they wouldn't have bothered chasing you down to begin with. As the thought is no longer stealing but revenge.

Wow. Your self defense options are limited to silly string? Jeeze.

Or just throw a bag of wasps at them... biological warfare!

OP went into triage mode and and pirates took off before Concord could get there, if I were you I'd move out of low sec though.

In England everybody gets issued a Vagina to handle these situations with.


On a positive note, I have a theory that this game has the potential to set up neural pathways capable of breaking the "it can't happen to me" mentality that makes people ripe for becoming the next victim. Complacency is expensive in this game, and so the asshattery (or legitimate goals of piracy, war, etc) in this game can give a person an edge in the real world simply by the "practice" of the correct mindset to survive in this game.


This is why some people can say - and I would argue they could be correct - that suicide ganking an AFK player might be doing them a favor. This would be the case IF (instead of quitting, complaining on the forums, etc) they decided to play more carefully in the future.

Another potential loss to poor mindset in this game is the competition itself. A lot of people would look at other people, perhaps with more prowess or potential, and be inclined to modify they system in which they live under to quell competition. For example, a business owner who, fearing compeition, supports new laws making it harder for new people in the business to get their start. If you play EvE and agree with the mindset promoted in this game, you might intead find yourself in the opinion that if someone else can best you in open competition, then perhaps you deserve to lose.

This is the baseline struggle of EvE. People who will accept loss and gain on their own merits versus those who meta a system to their advantage.

They set a further gate camp for me in another choke point system further down the way (really), which i avoided using my new found survival instincts. Lowsec conquored another little bit :)

Secondly i have discovered it is indeed possible to obtain someones address from their license plate number in the uk, locator agents anyone?

Yeah tbh here had they actually stabbed me they would likely have driven off casually for a cup of tea, then watched from a nearby window as the paramedics injected me with a cup and the police waved their scary wooden sticks aloft in rage

Ok. You live in the UK. You have socialized medicine. Go tell a shrink that you valued playing a computer game more than your life.

the lady that lives next door to me almost got mugged, but this being Alabama the would-be mugger found himself looking down the barrels of 4 rifles and a 12 gauge

I... eh... what?

How the **** does one little old lady hold four rifles and a shotgun at once?
