They cornered me fair and square and asked for 10 million. I paid, and warped to leave the system. They still destroyed me and gloated about it. They also were blaming it on 'lag.' If that was the case, then why would they not return the ISK? I paid a good 30 seconds before I jumped to leave the system.

Victim: Iamruss
Destroyed: Raven
Name: Krimsonblade (laid the final blow)
Alliance: Veritas Immortalis

Pirates like them ruin it for all. Never trust them, and never pay any of them, they will not honor any ransom they ask for. Except your loss. And I hope they dont get your pod.

not all pirates don't honor ransoms. Myself, I *always* honor my ransoms.

Anyway, I'm not crying. I can always replace what I lost. I just want the public to know, dont ever pay money to anyone in the following corporations: Damage Unlimited Inc, Art of War, or Mortis Angelus.

tbh i'm appaled at the attitude of those pirates (if your story is true) and they dont even deserve the title of pirate, if they dont keep there word there just griefers and i hate griefers, thnx for the info more names to add to the pos list. Iamruss it happens and it cant be helped although i promise you if you came to where i am i would honour my ransoms   .
I'd like to hear what the attackers side of the story is though.

Considering they are part of a alliance in control of 0.0 space i doubt they care.They were just doing it for fun,and probably really don't care if people don't becuase they got 0.0 access to make money with.

That's fine. If this message is read by just one pilot, who neglects to pay them a ransom, then it was worth it.

Please dont fret though, there are plenty of pirates who do have a sense of pride and honor in what they do and will honor their ransoms to the letter

You could try evemailing their respective CEOs 
Will be unlikely to do anything, but could be interesting

I did in fact message the Damage Unlimited CEO asking if it's normal practice for them to dishonor ransoms, I wonder if I'll get a reply. To be honest, I really don't care if he/she does.

'Pirates' like them gives other pirates a bad name, and are the exact reason why people won't pay ransoms.

 @ Veritas.
What has the world come to when a supposedly "respectable" 0.0 alliance has to dishonor ransoms to earn money?
Veritas, are you really this broke? I'll donate a few million to you if you seriously have these sort of money problems.

Thats a disgrace and another reason why people wont pay ransoms now. Bloody great.
Well done Veritas Immortalis, you cant control your pilots, or teach them respect.
I speak on behalf of myself, not my Alliance. If you got a problem, talk to me about it.

Sorry for your loss Iamruss...
I have always honored ransoms, and that is one of the two rules for my corp that have always made certain everyone follows...
The other is honoring 1 v 1's...

They're pirates... if take the ransom and then pop you, well tough. I'm not a pirate but I don't think it is disgusting or appalling. They're out to get whatever they can...
When a player starts pirating, they don't sign a code of conduct ffs!

Although I would like to hear the other side of the story, on the face it this is shameful.
Come on Veritas Immortalis - please reply to this and justify. And none of that "he wasn't blue" bull****. If you offer or accept a ransom you have to honour it - especially as an alliance.

That is the normal way unfortunetly. I have seen it for ASCN, LV, Shinra it self and other alliances. Big alliances think the own the world. Big alliances get bored and start to kill neutrals were ever they want. Such thing like honor does not exist. Trust no one!

I am not a pirate, in role I espouse values that see them a cowardly robbers.
Out of role I believe its a game they are a valuable part of it and to expect them all to adhere to a consistent code of behaviour is unrealistic however
its bad for business
I will never pay a ransom because I believe it would too often be in addition to the destruction and looting of my ship and subsequent podding.
I will run or fight depending on the best option for survival and if I fight I may take some with me and hopefully erode their profits.
Can pay, won't pay.
Absurdity, n.: A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion.

I do that too... I pay the guy if I accidently blow up his ship or allows any npc to kill it after i take it into structure. Alot of the pirates do ransom, but there are always some kids that thinks its fun to cause grief.
Veritas, you should be ashamed.

I wish there was some sort of ransom system in place actually. As part of the game. The system would make sure that the victim can warp off if he pays the ransom.
