Since I get so many people complaining about my chosen career path in this game, I figured I should explain myself. This post is dedicated to anyone I've ever been in contact with and to any that I may come in contact with in the future.
I'm a pirate. I kill people for my own personal gain. I'll shoot at anyone I see no matter how old the character is or what ship they're in if I think I can destroy it in an efficient manner and collect their remains afterwards. Alternatively, I'll take an amount of ISK from the victim that I deem fair in exchange for their destruction. Money is power. I want a lot of it, and I don't care how I get it.
You see, I'm a big fan of this whole "Risk vs Rewards" thing that people are always talking about as long as the risk is low and the rewards are high. The best way to get a lot of money with little risk is to use overwhelming force to take it from those who have earned it themselves.
So why is it that people expect me to be some kind of space samurai that wanders the stars challenging opponents to fair duels for my family's honour or some BS like that? Why are people so shocked that I use overpowering force, overwhelming numbers, or trickery to gain more of the ISK that I crave so much? Do they really think I'm looking for a fair fight?
No, I want you dead as fast and easily as I can. I want you dead so I can loot your remains and sell them. You know that named cargo expander or faction hardener you have? I want that too, and I'll kill you to get it. I'll lie to you, I'll ambush you, I'll do whatever is in my power to grab it from you. Why do you think I have such a low security status? Do you really think I got it from getting into duels with people?
I am among the most foul scum in the galaxy, and proud of it.

You guys are out there. I know that. I know you won't risk a battleship to get a frigate in hi-sec unless the cargo scan reveals something really interesting worth the loss.
Do I like scumbags in low sec space, no. But hey, you're part of what makes this game so interesting. 
It certainly isn't your fault a trader doesn't hire some firepower to get him through the dangerous parts of a run.

Apparently it is unusual because so many people expect me to engage in fair fights that are meant to be challenging and skillful for both sides.

A fair fight is a waste of resources. Sun Tzu's Art of War recommends only the use of overwhelming force as it is the sign of a good commander. Only a fool would wage a long drawn out war/battle.

Funny that, I'm actually railing against smacktalkers who spout nonsense about honour and whatnot. I don't know how you take that as waving anything around. If anything, I'm against people who like to wave their thingy around when they talk about honour.
Edit: What spurred me to post this thread is a run-in I had today with another pirate. I had an aquaintance challenge him to a 1vs1. Of course, it wasn't going to be a fair 1vs1. I gave my friend fighters. Amusingly enough, the other guy also brought some friends to the fight.
But even then, he wouldn't shut up about "honour" and whatnot in local chat afterwards. What, was I supposed to be honourable?
And that's what this thread is about.

Eh?
I though 1vs1`s were always respected. So you are saying we should never trust you to a 1vs1, right?
Sorry, I`m lost. What`s the point of this thread?
Complaining that those guys did not honoured their 1vs1 proposal? Complaining that your friend did not honoured the 1vs1 by brining you? Or you are telling that you do not honour 1vs1`s?

There's this common misconception that pirate are supposed to be honourable. What, there's honour in killing people and taknig their stuff? News to me.
But yeah, I never fight people in duels. They're pointless and not profitable.

Your post got me to thinking about where in the grand scheme of things I fit in. I'm most certianly a killer. I go out of my way to destroy people's ships and pod them. I ransom them or sell their loot for profit, so I guess that makes me a pirate. But I don't do two things: accept a duel and then dishonor the agreed upon rules, and specifically lie to entice or entrap someone so that I can gank them.
So are there different strata of pirates? To me I see no dishonor in doing something like gate camping or sniping for instance. Sure, it's not very manly to sit with a stabbed up Tempest (Tyffan), but the target and agressor know the score. I guess it's all about how low will you go to make some ISK.
Then again, I can think of a few targets that I know of that I respect so little that I would probably be able to justify any means required to kill them and inflict loss upon them.
Because I said so...

You are evil. However, you are honest about it. I can respect that.
I follow the same path, but as a matter of principle, always stick to my word (and precisely my word, no more, no less). The trouble of not sticking to your word is that if you ever need or want friends or do business deals regarding some level of trust, no one can ever trust you.
For example, you have created an obvious contradiction. You say you will lie, but, then, are you lying about what you are? Are you actually a carebear? Haven't I seen you in Oursulaert?
