Because someone claimed that "Protection" was not the service provided by CONCORD.

RL Police provide Protection, not Prevention.
CONCORD provides Protection, not Prevention.

See?


In broad strokes, comparing CONCORD to a Police force works. Once you start into details like "well that means CONCORD should patrol like real police" or "why doesn't CONCORD attack the catalyst yellowboxing a miner in a belt," the comparison breaks down because there are no Crimes in EVE that CONCORD doesn't already punish nigh-instantly.

Conspiracy to Commit is, itself a crime. 18 USC S 2332b (a)(2)

"(2) Treatment of threats, attempts and conspiracies.GÇö Whoever threatens to commit an offense under paragraph (1), or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be punished under subsection (c)."

Locking someone is not a crime in EVE.

Once again, you're confusing RL laws with laws in EVE.


Incidentally, Conspiracy is a lot more involved than "might have been planning."

I never said anything about porting RL Laws into EVE. Nor did I say that RL Police were the same as CONCORD. In fact, I said that RL Police and CONCORD were only similar in broad strokes and if simplified, and that any comparison would fall apart in the specifics.


All I said was that CONCORD provides Protection as its service, rather than Prevention.
Just like RL Police provide Protection as its service, rather than prevention. (Arresting someone for conspiracy means that the crime of Conspiracy was committed, so the crime charged was, in fact, not prevented.) And that not providing Prevention as their service does not negate the fact that they provide protection.

If you called them and asked them if they had a zero tolerance for employee drug taking, they would say yes.

Doesn't make it true though.

As they can do nothing until a Law has been broken.

War Decs are bribes.

I don't know about you but if I worked for CONCORD I would want to be paid, besides why would members of concord want to pay for their ships with bribes.

If you're given a ship by someone, for whatever reason, and use it to gank someone else, you put the cost of that hull and its modules on the line to try to get an even bigger payout than if you were to just go to market and sell the ship.

But you'd have the isk. Instead, you choose to risk that isk on the gamble that you get a bigger payday.

But there's a risk he won't whine in local, or send you angry emails, or sperg to CCP about how evil you are and how they should totally reimburse him his ship.

And "payday" isn't necessarily just isk, although that's the most common definition.
