Nerf Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.29 19:01:00 - [31] Egh, its a matter of personal choice, really. Back when I was a pirate, I generally tried to randsom whenever possible. I just thought it was more fun that way, really. Signature graphic removed - please email us to find out why (include a link to the graphic in question) - Jacques([email protected])

Only that those doing it online are to small and weak to do it IRL. :) Stupid quote of the day goes to this anus. Of the day? I laughed aloud when I read it
evistin Multiverse Corporation	Posted - 2006.10.30 00:19:00 - [34] Originally by: Gneeznow Evistin, sorry for your corp mates loss, but like monkeyking said if the nos domi was not there we would have ransomed. The ferox and cyclone were all tech 1 fitted btw, it was the prophecy that was the gang lead and T2 fitted. Curious why did you not just attack the domni instead of the hulk, you mention you thought it was a normaly barge. You guys charged in and took the hulk out 1st. ----------- Management and Leadership û The Eve-online Guide

Curious why did you not just attack the domni instead of the hulk, you mention you thought it was a normaly barge. You guys charged in and took the hulk out 1st. when we warped in the hulk was 4500 metres away from us and top of the overview, thus it got warp scrambled first while we tried to figure out if the dominix was mining or not, dominix started spitting drones at us so all bets were off. Either way it was the ferox pilots first PvP outing and we arent exactly the most organized ppl and when monkeyking1 is involved comedy mischief ganking is bound to happen . . . . . .
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2006.10.30 00:54:00 - [37] Originally by: monkeyking1 Would have ransomed only for teh domi started atking so we blew u up woudl ahve ransomed if the domi was a mining domi like i taught :s No need to stall these negotiations, the other guy will do it for you.

Sylper Illysten	Posted - 2006.10.30 01:08:00 - [38] Edited by: Sylper Illysten on 30/10/2006 01:08:42 Just another example of players who want to blow up anything so they can sit around and chortle about how good they are. "OMG did you see how fast that hulk blew up!" It's an unarmed ship folks, it's like sniping newbies in a BS, a complete load of garbage. Pirate == Griefer.

Scramble the Hulk, take out the Dominix and there you have it, excuses about wanting to ransom but being unable is utter bull****.
DefJam101 Gallente Praxiteles Inc. E N I G M A	Posted - 2006.10.30 01:51:00 - [40] I ransom when I A. The ship is very expensive and obviously not ready for combat B. The other person did not fight back C. The person requests a ransom, in which case I usually make it higher than normal ...although you probably could've just done a barrel roll.

Oh well it does not matter anymore. Just got to work on getting another one for my corp mate. ----------- Management and Leadership û The Eve-online Guide
Benglada Finite Horizon	Posted - 2006.10.30 01:54:00 - [42] ransoming is rarely profitable --------------------------- Originally by: Arkanor 0.0 is the Final Frontier. Bring money and friends.
Sahne MuhMuh	Posted - 2006.10.30 02:55:00 - [43] The killmail and a crying carebear is more worth than 100mill isk. And a Hulk on scanner is a invention for every pirate to come in.
X ChaosX Panzershrek Blood Raiders Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.30 03:18:00 - [44] I don't ransom anymore until the stab nerf comes. Offered a ransom to a ferox I beat in a thoraxe and he ended up getting away, when if I wouldn't have ransomed I wouldve killed him. ___ Originally by: Bill Shankly i see your another one of those lousy pirates that cant fight fair and call yourself apvper, what a joke u are. Don't represent corp or alliance blah blah
Bunny Boo Finite Horizon	Posted - 2006.10.30 03:34:00 - [45] In this case, the ship kill/killmail is worth more to me than a ransom.
Deva Blackfire DAB RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2006.10.30 08:46:00 - [46] Hmmm... 100mil or the fun factor from blowing up 500+ mil isk in one go... I'd go for fun myself :)
Luke Pubcrawler	Posted - 2006.10.30 08:53:00 - [47] I gave up expecting logical decisions from players sometime ago. Recently I got killed and podded in 0.0, not complaining as it was my failt for taking a risk. I had collected a pile of unsaleable junk ratting and needed to haul it somewhere for reprocessing, so I filled up a Sigil, fitted a couple of stabs,nano, minimal tank and tried a quick run to a station with reprocessing. Unfortunately at the one gate I did not have an insta for I ran into trouble. A player with positive sec from a neutral alliance not known for piracy and in an area at least 10 jumps from there claimed territory, flying a Hugnnin. So I took the chance and ran for the gate. Anyway he killed me, which although annoying I can understand as the loot might be worth something (it wasnt really but he couldnt have known that). Podding me earned him a killmail it is true but frankly he might have gotten a ransom out of it had he asked. Not much as that body had no real implants but he might have done. All he has achieved to to ensure that I will kill and pod him or his alliance mates when I come across them, and I do see them in this section of space, often alone and quite vulnerable as it is fairly uncontested and peaceful. Had he at least attempted a ransom I would not feel so strongly about it.
LUGAL MOP'N'GLO	Posted - 2006.10.30 08:58:00 - [48] Originally by: dantes inferno you can blame the people who do the follwing for this type of event: 1) people who will flame and insult someone who asks for a ransom 2) people who use ransom talks as a delyay to get reinforcments in 3) the sheer amount of people who go around advicing people not to pay ransoms. 4) the amount of peole who will rather die than pay a ransom You forgot: 5) The stories from people that paid the ransom and then got blown up anyways ~~~~~~~~~ I wish my lawn was EMO so it would cut itself. I approve of this message.
