i don't know, i find the spewing of profanity immensely interesting. on some level it shows an inability to deal with loss, differentiate between games and reality, and a myriad of other fascinating mental conditions.
can't quite argue for the easy to get along with part, but they're hardly boring! |

I feel bad for the majority of the player base that does not read the forums or blogs. Who know how many subs will be lost this weekend.
But hey, high sec industry is being made extinct, and I am sure that 10 people will sign up to be a null sec serf for every high sec casual player quits. So go ahead clowns, act like jerks this weekend. Knock yourself out.
please link to your peer reviewed proof that Burn Jita events kills subs.
as long as his account is one of them, i'd be fine with a dip in subs. |

I know a guy that does exactly that. He hangs around in a boosted dessie and kills PODS of evil gankers. What's really fun is when he pisses off the gankers..they war dec him and he gets in a different alt and starts all over. Basically he must get ganker tears..if they are pissed off enough to war dec him over and over and never get a kill off him.
instead of cycling characters, he could just join the npc corp. i fear he's not the brightest button in the box. |

I don't think you get it. We are not going "ohhh sooo many entitled carebears, we must gank!". We are ganking for fun, just the target rich environment happens to contain a lot of entitled carebears who cry a lot about it, which we find amusing, which further encourages us to return to the same location next time around. You are the one that is turning it into some diabolical hate campaign, we are just playing a game, where spaceships blow up. Get over it. So watching someone else in distress is amusing to you? That's good to know, about your personalities and stuff.
if you're in distress when some one blows up your internet spaceship i advise you seek professional help for the myriad of mental issues you quite clearly have. |

Well while you're free to come up with whatever knowledge you wish to extract based on your own misconceptions, it wasn't the intention of my post which should be easily discernible considering the issue I'm clearly addressing is the desire to recreate the feeling of distress that potentially mentally ill person is exhibiting.
i was mocking you.
if some one has a mental issue because they can't disassociate a game from real life; that is what's causing the distress. not the person playing another player in an MMO. |

Well then maybe you should considering going to a store that gaurantees they'll sell you what you pay for. (Better fit your suicide gank ship, Bring a better suicide gank ship, or bring friends with good enough gank ships) The only reason the "risk" exists is because you don't take the steps necessary to ensure it's being successful. What you're describing isn't a "suicide gank". It's a "stupid gank" attempt.
no, the reason risk exists is because dropped cargo and modules have a 50% drop rate, not a 100% drop rate.
are you being intentionally dense or are you clueless about game mechanics? |

no, don't change the quote to suit your argument.
google states "the possibility of financial loss." NOT "possibility of losing something of value"
if you get 0 drops because the loot fairy says no, which has a statistical probability >0, then you have incurred a financial loss. because it's a fact that the probability of a loot drop worth less than your ganking ship is >0 that means all suicide ganks involve risk.

What's the financial loss associated with that? Isn't that a risk?

as long as a definition fits, there is risk. doesn't matter what the other definitions are.

the motive is irrelevant.
i didn't state it was the only definition of risk, so i wasn't wrong at all. |

Well when not considering your goal is for profit, considering my initial argument was that there was no risk since my satement wasn't based around "financial", with proper planning you could destroy someone's ship with bringing more dps than their tank can sustain within the amount of time for concord to arrive. My initial position was that there was no risk, because I was focusing on the task of ensuring a space ship destroyed without considering profit as what determined the risk. Like I could go with 4 guys in catalysts to blow up 1 retriever. Sure, you might consider it "overkill" and "not worth it" considering it wont be as profitable, but if your only goal is to deny that person of their retriever without considering profit as the motivator, then it's very well possible it can be done without risk, and simply a cost.
your original statement was that suicide ganking is risk free, you've been proven wrong every post for the last page or two.
the probability of successfully suicide ganking a ship is NEVER 1. let me rephrase that for you; there is always risk. see, you're wrong! (still)
your initial position was wrong, regardless of any caveats you want to put on it.
you could go up to a retriever with 4 catalysts? now tell me, what's the probability that there's a cloaked falcon ready to jam you? >0. which means there's risk! |

A charon warps into system, you know it has zero fittings because they have zero fittings available to them, so you just assume the pilot has maxed skills to plan on the side of caution.
You then calculate how much DPS is needed to blow up the Charon before concord can kill you. You bring that much DPS, and then a bunch of white knights in jita alpha half of your catalysts, rep the freighter, and foil your efforts at a gank!
oh dear god, my argument just fell apart, but i thought i was right...
how could i have been so foolish?

Divine Entervention wrote:No, because if your goal wasn't your own profit, and merely the other person's loss, you could be bringing more than enough DPS to destroy every freighter regardless of what it's cargo is. But because your focusing on profit and not the destruction, you then assign a value to "profit" which then manifests a risk.
considering a charon has a set number of EHP, all you have to do is gain a high enough DPS to destroy that charon before concord can kill you. You could "over kill" because you know your organization can afford, while those you're destroying, do not have the same resources as you.
If your goal was purely the destruction of the freighters, and not the profit, you could be running a risk free operation because there is no risk, you gaurantee your ability to destroy the freighter by bringing more than enough DPS to destroy it. There would be a "cost" yes, but no risk, since you're accepting the loss of your ship as a necessary cost.
The only reason risk exists is because you're choosing to focus on the profit of the gank, and not focus on your imposing the destruction of the target's ship.
except it doesn't matter how much dps you bring, if there's enough people there to stop you using that dps... we've just been through this in several posts. the chance of killing a freighter is NEVER 1.
except you can't factor in the unknown number of potential cloaked falcons, so your "overkill" excuse is irrelevant unless you can bring an impossible number of pilots to the fight.
no, you can't run a risk free operation. stop pretending you can, we've pointed out that you can't on several occasions now.
i haven't focused on the profit one bit and still proven you wrong. it all comes back to that simple fact that the probability of ganking a freighter is never 1. |

learn to fit your ship well at least we know you haven't got a clue how ecm works. no, i understand that regardless of how much sensor strength, there's always going to be a chance that your ship get jammed. But your ships sensor strength compared to the ship's jamming strength, you can increase your resistance against jamming to be so high that the probability of "everyone" getting jammed is so low that it's more likely an asteroid slam into earth cutting out power.
but you admit that it's not a chance of 0, and therefore there is risk present?
good, glad you've finally admitted it. |

Negligible risk, a risk so small you should not consider it as an influencing factor in how you make your decisions. I welcome this opportunity to teach you how burn jita should properly be conducted.
a risk that still means you're wrong, and ganking isn't risk free.
i welcome this opportunity for you to stop while you're not quite as behind as you were when you were incorrectly spewing that ganking is risk free. |

How you feel about it doesn't negate that the risk is negligible.
actually, it's because it is irrelevant.
the question was is the risk 0, or not 0. we established that it was not 0 and forced the conclusion that you were wrong. you blithering about the size of not 0 doesn't make a **** of difference. the outcome doesn't change depending on the size of not 0.
you can carry on crying about it for the next 10 pages, the fact will remain that you were wrong and ganking isn't risk free. please get over it. |

If you make the proper decisions you can make the risk so negligible that it's not worth considering. Because of your failure to properly plan, you create your own risk. If you planned properly, you could avoid all realistic possibilities that would lead to your failure. changing the subject doesn't make you less wrong. edit: actually, it might make you less wrong... but you're still wrong. Nothing you've said negates the fact that you could plan your operations in a manner that ensure success(if the measure of success were the destruction of the ship instead of profiting in isk through it's destruction). considering that it will never be possible to reach a 100%, choosing the plan that is 99.99999% effective is the best you can hope for, which means in the realm of reality, it's risk-free. actually, the very fact that you can't ensure success as we've proven several times negates it. |

No, because your "proof" rests in an absolute which is impossible, while my suggestions are based in reality. Your demanding absolutes cripples your argument, because there are no absolutes, and since there are no absolutes, addressing them as a method of proof pertaining to reality is a fallacious demand because it's impossible. By your logic, you should not be pressing the keys on your keyboard, or using your computer because it may get angry and attack you, zapping you with electricity and smashing you over your head with the keyboard and mouse. You demand absolute proof? Absolutely prove that your computer will not do that. You can't absolutely prove it, but you can, within the realm of reality, accept that the likely hood of it happening is so negligible, that you do not consider it as a determining factor regarding your choice to use it.
no, my proof is basic mathematics. which you seem to have an issue grasping.
also your absurd and ******** hypothetical doesn't follow my logic at all. |

O no, my hypothetical fits quite well. You've constantly demanded an absolute 0% risk suggestion, which is impossible, just like you can't prove that your computer attacking you is 0%. It may be highly unlikely, yes. So unlikely that you shouldn't waste time considering that it's a real possibility, definitely. Yet you will hypocritically demand an absolute from someone else.
no, i haven't demanded an absolute 0% risk.
i've spent 3 or so pages proving that there isn't such a thing, because you claimed there was. the very fact it's impossible was the point, the point being; you were wrong. |

I never brought up absolutes, you assigned the attribute of an absolute to my post of your own accord, showing a propensity to demand absolute proof.
You'll see I suggested multiple times that the risk was so negligible, that it wasn't worth considering as a determining factor you should use to influence your decisions. Yet even after my stating that repeatedly, you continued to demand an absolute.
ALSO, you stated that your own definition of "risk" as an absolute.
i didn't demand anything, i just pointed out that the chance of a sucessful gank wasn't 1, and you were wrong. you've just spent 3 pages not accepting that simple fact.
you were wrong, ganking isn't risk free. we've been over this like 6 times now. is french your first language? i speak french but you're having a lot of trouble with english at the moment it would seem. |

no, that isn't an absolute. seriously, est-ce que parlez-vous anglais? |
