Hey everyone,
The other day a buddy of mine needed a 10 mil loan and I happily helped him out, since it was 4 in the morning where I lived, I misscounted the 0's and it turned out to be 100mil. Him being a buddy of mine he quickly returned the 90 mil back to me and we went on with our lives, but that got me thinking. . . .
If you ransomed someone for 60mil and in the heat and tension of the moment he transferred 600mil instead of the 60 that was requested what would you do? :P
Thanks peeps,

Well if he was one of those polite people who take it like a sport, i'd return the excess amount, if he was someone who annoyed me whined etc etc, i'd keep it and laugh, then i'd probably give him 60 mill and pod him.
I'm not sure, first i'd circle his helpless pod/ship and laugh at him while pondering what to do, unless ofcourse as I said, he was a decent bloke.

If it was a smaller amount of money, I'd probably give it back. But 600 mil would be far too tempting.

I have given back ransom to pilots before that got murdered by one of my group members before after my group and I ransomed him. I used the word murder intentionally 
But 600mill is alot of money. I would look at it take a screen shot and send back the rest of the money minus the ransom fee.......I play this game for fun, which is why I would take the screen shot and laugh at it later when I get poor and call myself stupid hahah....

Yes, I would do that too. But when it's the pilot's own fault I see things differently, it's not like I'd be going back on my ransom.

I'd probably return it. Though I'm not a pirate, its sort of a reputation thing.
I would only keep it if I thought it was truly justified: for example, if the guy sending the cash was a scammer, or the like.

I'd give it back be it 500k or 540m, this actually happen to me the other day... abiet on a smaller scale. I ransomed some guy's caracal we settle on 2m (he's new) gives me 2.5m so I sent the extra back. It's really a matter of honor =D

tbh I'd keep it, I'd let him go though as i'm a true pirate, this will show him I'm not a liar however if he messes up on his end it's his fault. So basiccly your keeping your word while making abit more cash.

Difference between 600 and 60 mil is wayyy to much. If it's 10 and 100 mil then I may return it depending on what I ransommed and age of the character.
I'm a pirate I dont have to be honest.

Depending on what the guy was like if he was mouthing off and smacktalking like no end id just say thanks for paying the ransom and move on, maybe make him boil for a few days then give back half if he was nice or sent a nice mail asking kindly for it back. if it was a polite person with a nice attitude and respected my ransom i'd gladly give back the 540mil and tel him to watch his typing.

For this game ransoming has got to be as stupid a concept as the bounty system.
I was podded a few weeks ago out in the catch and the fool that got me actually asked for a 100 mill ransom.
Pirates can't do simple math? My clone only costs 4 mill. My reply was an insult. I insulted him because he insulted me.
If any of you pirates get me in a pod don't bother to ask. You don't insult me, I won't insult you. Or your mother.

I've had this before believe it or not. I had a zealot ecm'd, noss'd, scrambled and webbed in a belt. I asked for my nominal 25m ransom and he paid... + an extra '0'. I gave him his 225m back because tbh respect and honour > isk.

Similar situation a while back when me and tekka were out hunting. Ransomed a guy for 25mil and he sent it twice. I returned him the difference, however with 600mil I'm not sure what I would do.
Tbh I would probably return it but force him to make a post about how great I am first.
Alternatively keep it for a bit and then send it back or keep it depending on his reaction. I.E. if he smack talked a lot then I'd keep it

He was giving you a chance to protect any implants you may have had.
I'd pay 100 mil to protect a pirate implant set. (not because they are expensive, but because they are a pain to get)

Pirates ask for ransoms now ?
My last trip in lowsec was 10 months ago, I was scrambled, destroyed and podded without a word, on three different occasions, and by three different "pirates" ...
I would have been glad to pay a ransom and save my corp's stuffs (in my holds) and my implants, but I wasn't offered the chance ...

it depends. if the guy was smacking beyond belief, i'd keep it temporarily and ask my CEO what i should do with it (keep it, give it back, corp wallet, etc). if the guy was cool about it, i'd give it back (minus the ransom fee of course).

Another way to look at this question is, are you being a pirate to have fun, or are you being a pirate to grief?
The first keeps the game fun for everyone (whether the victim realizes this is another matter), the second just encourages borderline players to leave and bad mouth the game.

I once was transferred 800 million by a previous (twice over) war target. I can only guess that I was in his inbox and he right clicked on the wrong char to "send money."
Did I send it back? Heck no. That's a lot of isk to part with for a poor pirate. I did write him an adoring letter and tell him that I would bother him no longer. I also mentioned that he really has a great way of settling old scores!
