Kartha Shazih Octopus Syndicate 0	Posted - 2012.10.06 13:48:00 - [1] - Quote What would you do if someone convos you or posts 'i yield' in local ? Would you shoot him / pod him nevertheless ? If you are willing to test this, please post your results (so will I). I am willing to send 1SK to anybody using this tactic (and surviving). PS: Yes, i am drunk, but curious

RavenPaine RaVeN Alliance 182	Posted - 2012.10.06 16:05:00 - [3] - Quote Ransom is the way to go if there is lots of time. I offer them and honor them when possible. Other than that... I kill them. I have however, Scooped thier loot and returned it to them, Scooped thier loot and delivered it to an agents destination, Bought them a new badger, Sent them full replacement value for various ships. etc. Because sometimes it's clear as day, that the dude couldn't afford the loss. I'm not into just ruining some guy's (specificly a newb)game over lols. When I catch a 1 month old character in a Drake in low sec, and see some of the awful fits, or whatever. Sometimes they don't even shoot back. I don't beat up old ladies, little kids, or kick dogs either :) I must have failed at Pirate Academy
Abdiel Kavash Paladin Order Fidelas Constans 877	Posted - 2012.10.06 18:20:00 - [4] - Quote In combat, I don't look at local chat and I don't accept convos. Especially not from hostiles. If I am shooting someone, I have a good reason to want them dead.
chatgris Quantum Cats Syndicate 208	Posted - 2012.10.06 18:47:00 - [5] - Quote I've had "please stop" in local stop me from blowing up someone once. <-- fail pirate.
Taoist Dragon Forced Penetration 40	Posted - 2012.10.06 19:28:00 - [6] - Quote I have a ransom channel setup and the MOTD has instructions to my victim on what to do. I however generally forget to even offer ransoms.......too busy grinning while firing usually. But if I do remember anf offer one then I will always honor it. That is the Way, the Tao. Balance is everything.

The best I've gotten is: 'What the ** are you doing?' 'stop' 'please stop' 'the orca!' 'stop now unless you want to buy me a new ship' 'no! you ' 'you can buy me a new orca now you prick' Mining Barge buff:** CCP-áhas acknowledged that miners in general-áare too stupid to make the correct fitting choices to make ganking them unprofitable.
Cerlin Serious Internet Spaceship Holding Company IMPERIAL LEGI0N 6	Posted - 2012.10.09 20:32:00 - [9] - Quote I dont do a lot of low sec pvp but when I have caught pve'ers and miners in null this does happen. I normally dont notice till after he is dead.

You mean because every kill you've ever been on has 100 other guys on it and that nothing you ever do as a single pilot really matters? I think the question was directed towards pirates, not sheeple.

Raiz Nhell DEEP CORPS 207	Posted - 2012.10.09 23:40:00 - [13] - Quote "I yield" is a bit silly... He isn't shooting at you to beat you, or show you he is better... He's shooting you to blow you up and take your stuff... Yielding just lets him know that he doesn't need to keep running his reps cause you've given up. There is no such thing as a fair fight... If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.
Taoist Dragon Forced Penetration 46	Posted - 2012.10.10 00:59:00 - [14] - Quote If the target is in a BC or above then I try to think nad ransom them if it's obviouse that they will die anyway. Generally a ransome will be more that the module drops. However if i think they deadspace/faction fitted then I may just pop them without a ransome. TBH it's very situational at the point of ransom. That is the Way, the Tao. Balance is everything. I'm NOT a Pirate! I'm a privateer!
Vimsy Vortis Shoulda Checked Local Break-A-Wish Foundation 817	Posted - 2012.10.10 01:29:00 - [15] - Quote Generally speaking I let people go if they pay me if they're a coincidental target, like they aren't someone I'm specifically out to blow up for some reason and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. If I'm specifically trying to kill them or inflict damage to their corporation though, they're pretty screwed.
Muad 'dib The Imperial Fedaykin 554	Posted - 2012.10.10 14:23:00 - [16] - Quote people want your loot or your km. yielding or not wont make any difference unless you are willing to buy your way out also. http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4375/mynewsig2.jpg
Val'Dore PlanetCorp InterStellar 24	Posted - 2012.10.10 14:29:00 - [17] - Quote I ransom pirates, well when I was on my old character anyway.
BobFenner Black Hole Runners 34	Posted - 2012.10.11 11:14:00 - [18] - Quote As other posters have stated it is very dependent on circumstances. Pirates who offer ransoms which you pay and they kill you anyway are by definition asshats. IF I offer a ransom it is usually because I believe the character can afford to pay. I will always honour a ransom offer made, but you stop any aggressive action on me, pay fast and then get the hell out of the system. I once ransomed the same guy twice in one night, he was running a site in a Tengu in a lowsec system. He made the mistake of coming back to the site ten minutes after I first ransomed him! He was not happy but paid up both times - even thought the second time I doubled the ransom to 500 million, I was sorely tempted to pop him anyway to see what he had fitted but if you offer a ransom you should honour it.

Crosi Wesdo Shadows Of The Federation Drunk 'n' Disorderly 362	Posted - 2012.10.11 14:34:00 - [19] - Quote I found a non-fw guy in a gallente plex killing the rats in his drake. I burnt over 60-70km but he just stayed there. Just as i landed scram he asked in local if i could help him kill the rats lol. I started to burn him down only to take pitty and stop shooting as he was going into low shields though i kept scram on just to decide what to do with him. Didnt have much time as rats pretty much alphad though his armour and structure lol. I felt quite bad. As for ransoms, i ask what their pod is worth and if they say any decent figure i apologise for their loss and pod them.

Kartha Shazih Octopus Syndicate 0	Posted - 2012.10.12 11:00:00 - [25] - Quote I still have to get the chance to try this out. My last trip to the great wildlands brought me close to a situation, but i got away. Any suggestions to an alternative phrase, that might work (even once) 'i am [insert something lame], let me be' or 'i drink cheap beer just to be able to afford my ships'

Piugattuk CLOROFLORFILAPLANKTONPLATES 72	Posted - 2012.10.16 13:25:00 - [28] - Quote Coming from a shepple type, I don't pay ransoms ever, the reason, if pirates had a reputation for honouring them then yes I'd pay, but as a poster pointed out there are a$$hats in the game posing as pirates that kill you anyway so why bother KEEP SHOOTING SHEEPLE....gonna die anyway.
