How do you stop people from being people. True that. Also, braver pilots repeatedly kicking the pussies' arses even with unfavourable odds just widens the gap: the braver become better and bolder pilots, the pussies worse and more scared.  Not my words, but... Quote:(...)
What doesn't produce satisfying deaths is suicide ganking in high sec. Suicide ganking, especially of miners, is in many ways like sex between two sixteen year-old virgins. Due to CONCORD response times, a successful ganked is usually over in 15 seconds. The ganker, playing the role of the inexperienced male, is proud of himself because he scored. Then again, the actual gank was preceded by a lot of foreplay in the form of stalking the victim, preparing the warp-in, etc.
The gankee, on the other hand, may not even have known the gank was about to occur until the ganker appeared. By the time the fight or flight instinct takes over and the adrenaline starts pumping, the miner not only has lost his ship, but may find himself waking up in a a station in his medical clone. Much like the young lady expecting a magical experience, the miner is left emotionally frustrated. But unlike the disappointed young lady, the miner by now is filled with adrenaline and often expresses his frustration at the ganker, ironically giving the ganker further pleasure.
(...) ...this is SO true...  (I am also tempted to take that analogy to both extremes: the one where it's a unconsensual event aka r*** and the one where gankers go limp and then it's the lady who haves a laugh after safely docking her more-or-less battered flying... huh).

The above act is obviously one person forcing another to do something they chose not to do.
Interesting choice of words...stalking the victim..the adrenaline rush of the one committing the act..
For your analogy of the 16 year olds, the unsuspecting 16 yr old female is experiencing ****.
May want to rethink this line of thought. |
