I know, I shouldn't have paid, but I was feeling particularly stupid (or was it drunk? I don't remember) and got myself pointed by Suddenly Ninjas. Funny story actually:
I'm grinding away at my mission (Blockade) and in comes a SN Noctis. At first he's just salvaging, but then starts looting. I start shooting, and he's dropping pretty fast through shields and then into armor. He gets to about half armor and in come 2 (or was it 3?) logis and rep him back to full shields. Then the Noctis points me and starts a very slow cap drain. I thought it was well done one their end, I'd like to ad a note of congrats on being well played.
An orca and another ship of theirs come out of somewhere as well and start adding to the repping, etc. No one but the Noctis has agressed me but they're all red, I didn't see the need to shoot any of them, what was the point? They'd all just rep themselves back to health pretty quick.
Next, I get invited to their chat channel :
n++[ 2011.12.04 21:41:57 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > o/ n++[ 2011.12.04 21:42:02 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > 250mil to keep the ship n++[ 2011.12.04 21:42:02 ] Tidurious > o/ n++[ 2011.12.04 21:42:24 ] Tidurious > Um, It'll cost less than that to replace, so I'll reject that offer, so sorry n++[ 2011.12.04 21:43:00 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > 150mil then n++[ 2011.12.04 21:44:48 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > last chance n++[ 2011.12.04 21:44:54 ] Tidurious > I'll go 100 n++[ 2011.12.04 21:44:58 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > pay it
*I send 100M Iskies*
n++[ 2011.12.04 21:45:16 ] Tidurious > paid n++[ 2011.12.04 21:45:26 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > give me another 150 n++[ 2011.12.04 21:45:56 ] Tidurious > Ok, I see where this is going. You either have Honor or you don't, but you're not getting more ISK from me n++[ 2011.12.04 21:45:58 ] Tidurious > Sorry n++[ 2011.12.04 21:45:59 ] Tidurious > Your call n++[ 2011.12.04 21:46:16 ] Suddenly Ninja's Pilot > I choose kill mail
*with no cap left and still pointed, we all sit there with our thumbs up our asses while the Angel Cartel eats away at my shields, then quickly through armor and hull. I explode*
n++[ 2011.12.04 21:48:58 ] Tidurious > Oh well, many more ships. Well played
*I am promptly booted from the chat channel "Suddenly Ransoms" or something like that*
I am not mad, quite the contrary - it was interesting to see this tactic actually applied and how it works. I also now have a much better idea of what I should have done. Several things come to mind. Oh well. There are many more ships in EVE, 100M really isn't that much, I was fully insured, and so my total loss was perhaps (after 'ransom' and insurance) only about 150M ISK.
A note to other pilots out there, however, and the reason for posting initially:
Suddenly Ninjas does NOT honor ransom requests, so don't bother paying. They played it well, but the will not honor your ransom, so save the ISK.

Methinks thats a prerequisite for being an honorless bastard.
they will usually honor your ransom if you get caught again. just say it's already happened, and tell of your loss in agonizing detail, then hand over the ISK and be freed. Dont mind me, -ájust touching your stuff. |

At least last time I was with SN, it was more of a "Do as you please" thing with ransoms. Some SN pilots will honor them, others will not.
But no, anyone who knows anything about SN will know that there is no corp-wide ransom honoring policy. Unless they changed a lot since I was last with 'em, but I doubt that very much. |

As a fellow scoundrel with "suddenly" in his corp name, I would like to suggest the OP is nothing but lies.
I mean, really ..? "Suddenly ninjas pilot"
Not buying that fake, no sir. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930's |

I have been very ill lately and doing anything more than lying in bed would almost make me pass out with fatigue. Whatever ailment I was beset with vanished however when I first tasted your effervescent tears.

Suddenly Ninjas truly are the chavs of eve. Always going through your rubbish, unable to handle a fight on their own and scrounging money for a living.

You guys live in Auner now? Excellent, I hope you booted out the anti pirates that lived their with their carriers doing level 5's. The amount of times I scanned them down without a fleet to actually kill them with is bloody annoying.

FFS, why don't people ever learn from other people's mistakes.
2 Choices
1. Don't shoot them, cause a mission boat will never win. Still don't understand how the **** you didn't learn that and a noctis is just a jailbait trap let alone a vigil flying around.
2. Self destruct if you are stupid enough to shoot them and hope your tank last long enough so they don't get a killmail. At least you took the loss instead of giving it away like virginity of the prom queen to the football jock team. Don't ever pay ransom, cause Human+EVE+Video Game does not equal honor.

you are expecting honor from people ganking someone being stupid?
no sir, i dont think so
i have nothing against unfair tactics, but paying ransoms is just a game of luck
insure your ship for good and let them shoot you, kill as many as possible and be done with it |

seems they didnt kill you...proof is in the CAPS.
It's like they usually say about fantasy MMO's and men playing female characters: "If I'm going to spend alot of time watching this character, it might as well have a good looking ass". |
