No need to GF someone you exploded in your gatecamp or caught with their pants down. I actually GF even then but what I mean is "good ****". Meh, not really i'm just kidding .

Its not an exploit, if the game lets you do it...
Alice Ituin Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 51	Posted - 2014.02.13 11:21:00 - [33] - Quote I only GF if there was some sort of fighting, meaning either the other party was looking for PvP or at least shot back. Doesn't matter if he had a chance or not. However when I e.g. just shoot someone's industrial at a gate I don't GF.

The minor is beaten/hacked/smashed into a bloody pulp. Visual image of biomass or pod goo. Why would anyone participating in that fight (in this case, two of the agressors), comment with "GF". What about that single fight deserved merit of being a "good fight" ? Can someone explain me this. It wouldn't be bad if he said "good slaugher" or "good gank" or "good wtfpwn", those would seem fitting, but.. "good fight", really? This isn't a whine, or so-called tears. It's a question of what deserves the merit of a good fight, asking the community. I put it in this section because I can't seem to find a good fit for it anyplace else. Maybe they meant "Get F*****"
Bane Nucleus Sky Fighters 943	Posted - 2014.02.13 11:39:00 - [35] - Quote I say gf out of habit and simply to acknowledge that some pew took place. A tip of my hat to my defeated or victorious opponent, so to speak. No trolling please
Serendipity Lost Repo Industries 122	Posted - 2014.02.13 14:37:00 - [36] - Quote Typically if there is an actual real good fight i will type 'that was awesome' in local. Actual good fights don't happen every day, so if I'm not in a fresh clone in empire I'll take the time to tyupe how happy I really am. I'll gf in local if the other guy does just to be polite. Most times I say nothing. Some guys take the GF in a bad way after they lose, so I just move on. I like to win as much as the next guy and I'm a little short on sympathy, but then again I don't get off on tears so much. For folks trying to figure it all out - I'll say this. If you want to be a nice guy - do it. If you want to be a D0uch3 and extract some tears - do it. That's really the point of this game. We're all role playing space pilots (the actual space pilots playing eve is prolly a low number) - do whatever feels right. There really isn't a right answer in eve. What you do determines who you hang out with and who hates you for life. I've got some of both over the years and loved every minute of it. TL - relax, enjoy

Why do we say please and thank you..... social convention.
Cannibal Kane My Little Ponies of the Apocalypse Cannibal Empire 3276	Posted - 2014.02.13 15:58:00 - [38] - Quote I never do a GF in local. Unless they do so first. Reason being is that the fight is always skewed in my favor because that is how I planned it. "I saw him fight by the monument in Jita. He flowed in his Machariel like a Shinto spirit, 800MM shells sprouting in his passing. His hair flowed in the corona of his target's warp core breach. It was truly majestic. And while everyone stared in awe I stole the loot and ran off. Because I am like that." - NEONOVUS
Starrakatt Hunter Killers. Forsaken Asylum 51	Posted - 2014.02.13 16:29:00 - [39] - Quote I do not always GF in Local, when it's a straight gank I may o7 before going may way (or pod). You could call that trolling if you will, but I am usually mr. nice guy with targets, unless they start abusing Local. Now, I use different levels of GF. 'gf' with or without salute goes for a one sided kill but where the target(s) at least tried to fight back, there is hope for these people. I am also a firm believer that a draw deserves a GF, either me or target managing to disengage if overwhelmed. Yes it happens. GF, GF! sometimes followed up by a salute or small chat. Reserved for real fights, where targets were pvp fit and/or gave an awesome account of themselves even with a PVE fit. Not rare for me, as I often hunt bigger fish in frigates. GJ or 'well played' or 'good catch' are not uncommon either. depends of situation. I do agree with the OP though, GFing a gank is pure trolling. Now, I never do that. Instead, I ask fleet mates to do it, got to polish that 'mr. nice guy' image... :P o7
Dreadeye Sanctuary of Shadows Black Ops Armada 17	Posted - 2014.02.13 16:47:00 - [40] - Quote It might be a good fight and there for a GF is appropriate. Its not easy to define a good fight, there can be a lot of criteria to a good fight, and thus it should be the involved parties that should decided if its a good fight. Your fleet could be welped but it could be a good fight anyway. you can put GF as respect to thoose you fought - the gentlemen GF. however if you ganked someone that didnt fight back a GF is kind of ironic., if you still have the urge to acknowledge the fight somehow then put a GG(Good Gank) in local instead - you ganked them and it was good then wait for the tears

Reason being is that the fight is always skewed in my favor because that is how I planned it. To me that preparation is part of the fight. The fight didn't start when F1 was pressed. The fight started back in the station when we all fit our ships and then undocked. I always 'gf' in local with two exceptions. I don't typically do it on my suicide gank alt. We have New Order speak for that. And I don't usually gf in wormholes because that means talking in local eewww. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose.

If I feel the fight wasn't in good sportsmanship, I'll keep quite: Example, blowing up a rookie ship that landed in my bubble. Realize different people have their own opinion on what constitutes good sportsmanship. Is hunting buffalo with rifles good sportmanship? Is clubbing baby seals? Is it about the hunt, or about the chase, or about the fight? Is it about the risks to yourself? I tend to believe GF's are fights where you and yours risk loss, or where there is a valiant chase / fight for survival.

The fight started back in the station when we all fit our ships and then undocked. Exactly. Or in the case of shooting a miner, the PVP started when the asteroid was first touched by the miner, both denying access to that resource to other miners and leading to increased market supply - hence decreased prices - for that ore. Mining barges are very good at that sort of PVP, and Catalysts are a good counter to them. Just as the Arazu and Lachesis are very good at 1v1 spaceship combat PVP but are countered hard by drone boats. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=318489 - Proposal for a new type of tech 2 Destroyer If you want to mine in highsec, read www.minerbumping.com.

Brink Albosa Black Rebel Rifter Club The Devil's Tattoo 15	Posted - 2014.02.14 15:05:00 - [45] - Quote I've always considered "gf" a courtesy in lowsec. Some guys go 20+ jumps and see nothing so it's like a salute to the hunt, an appreciation for letting me shoot you/ each other. Win or lose I'll drop gf in local. I've used in jest as well when something like an E Uni blob is able to grab me and there's like 25+ pilots on my Rifter lossmail. I always gf unless: Links were used ECM Your combat or attack frig has a cloak/stabs on it and you're there for the LP (Unless they whine, then I gf)

Divine Entervention Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 22	Posted - 2014.02.14 21:50:00 - [51] - Quote I'll only say "gf" if it's an actually good fight. If it's just a stomp, one way or the other, I say "good show".

It's a game... I once played chess against a grand master, predictably I got out maneuvered at every turn, my pieces got slaughtered, and after 15 moves I resigned. We shook hands and told each other "good game". You're playing a game and someone beat you at it, not only would it be good sportsmanship to say "good fight" afterwards, its rather rude if you completely ignore your opponent and stay silent.
VegasMirage Side Effects. Serious Space Holding Alliance 1471	Posted - 2014.02.15 11:45:00 - [53] - Quote I use: gf - means anti-climatic expected ending gf o/ - means was nice 1v1 or 2v1 that ended unexpectedly, would do it again see you shortly o ..i.. - means exactly that, your bad tarp didn't work out for you lolz - means you're bad, but funny bad ur bad - means you should biomass the character and start again, you have no way to improve from your game style In solo or small gang, anybody using a cloaked falcon, stabbed remote repper, cloaked "suddenly atron" fleet is "bad" gf is reserved for people deserving of another chance to fight, once you decloak your links, falcons, RR and your backup gang arrives late... you get the "ur bad" and you should really feel really really bad. The kind of bad that makes your mom hate you. no more games... it's real this time!!!
Eranicus II Aggressive Diplomacy 31	Posted - 2014.02.16 16:42:00 - [54] - Quote For me it depends on the situation, ill GF only if fights involved those who shoot back whether we win or not. I wont generally GF when i gank miners or haulers since I have chosen the vulnerable ship to destroy and I am basing my actions on other factors like bling on their ships or the age of the character for implants dmg. I will congratulate those who survived my attack based on their defensive capabilities though, but I wont GF if it was a mining ship or hauler. Also I am not a follower of james 315 RP, so paying them will not stop me from ganking them, not my play style.
Jasmine Panzer State War Academy Caldari State 6	Posted - 2014.02.17 18:41:00 - [55] - Quote I'm in the 'always put a gf in local' group. I guess to me, what it really means is 'whatever just happened, I'm grateful that you, my opponent(s) are human'. Because shooting rocks or red crosses is certain death by boredom! Depending on the situation, I may then add further comments like 'awesome fight!' or 'what were you thinking, bringing just TWO griffins to assist against a scary lone destroyer?!'. :)
Kenrailae Mind Games. Suddenly Spaceships. 231	Posted - 2014.02.18 05:17:00 - [56] - Quote 'GF' in local after a fight is a requirement in my book. Even if it was a gank, it's similar to the whole 'We who are about to die salute you' thing from the Roman Colosseum. Sometimes it's sincere, sometimes it's an acknowledgement to who you just killed for providing the kill for you, and sometimes it's a 'Get ****ed' to the D in local who just Dishonour bird you. Yeah, that's right, 'Dishonour' for maximum Space Honor's. The Law is a point of View

We will post GF for anyone that TRIED to fight back and did not just cried like a baby, in effect to any REAL eve player. "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!"
Electrique Wizard Mutually Lucrative Business Proposals Market and Contract PVP 326	Posted - 2014.02.18 09:54:00 - [58] - Quote Aggressor GF = Good Fight Losing party GF = Get ****** 2 different things, learn the difference. I am the Zodiac, I am the stars, You are the sorceress, my priestess of Mars, Queen of the night, swathed in satin black, Your ivory flesh upon my torture rack.
Valleria Darkmoon Heretic Army Heretic Initiative 196	Posted - 2014.02.19 11:59:00 - [59] - Quote The GF after most fights reminds me of the description of a Chaos Lord from the most recent Warriors of Chaos book for Warhammer. Paraphrased it says the Lord is an unfeeling killing machine who will fight anything he can get a hold of to prove himself, those that flee are run down, those that stand are briefly saluted before being hacked down where they stand. For me the "GF" is a lot like the brief salute, I don't give it after running down someone who wants nothing more than to run but I will GF anyone who fights back.
Ristlin Wakefield Pentag Blade Curatores Veritatis Alliance 401	Posted - 2014.02.19 15:31:00 - [60] - Quote As an FC I call for my fleet to give the opponent "gf" in local if they fought us, regardless of the outcome. With fleet fights, its often very easy to simply run and leave a few behind to get picked off. While most people will be happy to score a few easy kills, I get most fun out of actual large-scale combat. Raw, 40+ minute fights. When an opponent is willing to do that, I am beyond elated. It's the reason why I log into EVE. I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.
