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.

why do they "have" to honour it?
Are you serious? Alliances live and die by the conduct of their members. If they can't be taken at their word in something as simple as a ransom, then they lose all credibility for ALL transactions.
Of course there's no rule that they 'have' to honour it. I'm speaking from a moral point of view - I'm sorry if it's lost on you.

it is not about honor or anything.
Thank you for clarifying that.
I endorse what Verone said above.
As to the morals... I can't remember the name of the guy going on about it above, they never said they wouldn't shoot him. It is well know that if you are not 'blue' in 0.0 you get shot. So be it. The moral factor kicked in when they offered ransom. That's where their morals failed.

err no.
If its not against your morals to shoot someone, its not immoral to you to shoot someone :P
Same thing for ransoming and then shooting the victim anyway.
Just because you are in 0.0 doesn't mean you will be free from judgement by the rest of universe.
Of course it's subjective. I got involved in this thread to hear VI's stance - I've got what I came for.
As all-powerful and arrogant as alliances are (I will include D2 in this), they forget that every action taken by, and endorsed by the alliance is in effect an advertisement. I think that Forgon's words above are a disgrace to his alliance. Yes, it's my opinion. Yes, it's subjective.

Care to explain what the difference between a passage fee and ransoming someone at a gate is?
Serious question.
As I understand it, a passage fee is negotiated in the alliance public channel before you enter alliance-controlled territory. A ransom is negotiated when you're already there, scrambled, webbed and generally screwed.
