Zkillz kun Beets and Gravy Syndicate	Posted - 2007.07.17 15:17:00 - [61] Originally by: Freddy Jnr Now if you'll excuse me I have some killmails to fake. ____________ Beets, You're among friends.
Aille Pluthrak Caldari Racketeers	Posted - 2007.07.17 15:42:00 - [62] Originally by: SasRipper Dont worry rack will disband as soon as summer ends & they have to go bk to school & there mommys stop paying for there accounts. If this were true I could have saved so much money. When was the last time dear Mom bought me something? Let me think......it's been decades. Why you people so down on the young? Just cause someone likes to smack talk local, blast the ships and pods of defenseless miners does not equate the shooters being young ones. They could be old and sadistic smack talking bastages. Like me.
Optique Sixth Degree Communications	Posted - 2007.07.17 15:56:00 - [63] Originally by: Yiv Who are Racketeers? The answer is quite simple. They are a fleet of young flyboys in the 1920s who each discovered a highly classified portable propulsion device which they, after some hilarious hijinks, learn how to fly. Shortly thereafter, they each fashion a fancy aerodynamic metal helmet to disguise themselves as they fly about and fight crime.
Raven Owa Racketeers	Posted - 2007.07.17 16:46:00 - [64] Not only is it portable it also bakes cookies.

Karlemgne The Malevolent	Posted - 2007.07.17 21:21:00 - [69] Originally by: Juan Mendez Quote: wanting to be without the pain,and with all the gain. Not really! More like a group of guys who want to be pirates but also want the freedom to move into 1.0 systems in the event of a wardec which we will inevitably incur. Racketeers are all about fun and nothing else. No interest in what's going on in 0.0 and who has sovereignty over what system. No interest in role-playing while dressed in authentic Amarr / Minmatar clothing. No interest in "honour"! This is a GAME and RAK plays it how it's supposed to be played - for fun! I'm not expecting us to be the most popular guys in Eve but we love what we do and if it's your ore that gets stolen or your can that gets flipped then I'm sorry but that's just tough. Personally, I can see no way this game can be enjoyable to anyone who does not get involved in PvP to some degree but I guess everyone's different. There are many people in this game that have similar interests to us; we just provide an environment where they can link up with likeminded individuals. Let me get this right, you are a pirate corp, who doesn't want its members to drop below -1.9, because you're afraid of war decs? -Karl
Karlemgne The Malevolent	Posted - 2007.07.17 21:23:00 - [70] Originally by: Ildryn They are always very skiddish.....unless the odds are in their favor they wont fight or allow you to get aggro. I have yet to see any of them in low sec. Nope, never encountered them in low-sec Heimatar. -Karl

Karlemgne The Malevolent	Posted - 2007.07.17 21:30:00 - [72] Originally by: Adelorae24 people in this game are so touchy about friggin' stupid honor and roles that everyone should fit into. If you just hate what we do then come do something about it. Otherwise go about your business and enjoy the game in your own way. I don't tell anyone that they can't be a mining . Those people pay the same good money to play, and I say let them play how they like. If you wanna write a roleplaying sob story bio, and wet yourself over the idea of flying that new hulk... be my guest. No, people, especially us real pirates are touchy about our bottom line. Dishonoring ransoms just ensures that the person you've killed, after you've taken their money, never pays another ransom. AND you can be damn sure he's going to tell his corp mates, friends, and even people on the forums, that they shouldn't pay. Which means, you suffer the consequences visa vis the rest of the pirate community if you become known for dishonoring ransoms. Which, Racketeers has. -Karlemgne

Freddy Jnr Racketeers	Posted - 2007.07.17 21:39:00 - [74] Thanks for that! I don't see where the word "afraid" has been used by one of us. Was it typed in bold? If not I wouldn't be able to read it.

If not I wouldn't be able to read it. And seriously - you are OBSESSED with this thread. Get over it. How mant times are you going to reply so I can wait to respond to alll your little jibes? LMAO!! I'm obsessed with this thread? I just started posting in it, and have replied to two or three people here. Its what I do. As for afraid, well... of course, there was some interpretation done by me, you know, reading between the lines. Otherwise I would have just quoted the man directly. And though you seem to be quibbling with my interpretation, I think I did an excellent job. Maybe I need to walk you through it? Here, I will. Not really! More like a group of guys who want to be pirates Well, here I guess I got it wrong. I said that you were a "pirate corp." Maybe a more true interpretation would have been to call you guys a "wanna be" pirate corp. See I get that from where he says you guys are a "group of guys who want to be pirates." but also want the freedom to move into 1.0 systems See I took this mean that you wanted your pilots to have security statuses above -1.9; this is because, in this game having a security status of -2 or lower would prevent you from going into 1.0 systmes. in the event of a wardec which we will inevitably incur. Finally, I took this as an explanation why you wanted to be able to go into 1.0 systems. I mean, it seems that is what the OP was trying to achieve here, an explanation of the previously quoted idea. I then thought about what exactly his explanation meant. He wants access to 1.0 systems, because of war decs, of others on YOU, not vise versa. This can only mean that he is concerned that Racketeers will be war dec'd, and he wants somewhere to go in case that happens. This concern, really, to me, indicated that he was afraid of war dec's that might isolate his supply of new ships, and the insistence on being able to get into 1.0 systems, also indicated he might want a place to run from those who can't go into 1.0 systems. It is for these reasons, as I've said, that I used the word "afraid." So, I suppose you are right. After dissecting the actual paragraph, I've rethought my original interpretation. Now I believe he is saying something like: You are wannabe pirates and you want your members to have a sec status no lower than -1.9, because you are afraid of war decs. Your reading comprehension lesson has now ended. See you in low sec! -Karlemgne

Freddy Jnr Racketeers	Posted - 2007.07.17 22:18:00 - [81] Because, as I just found out, he's even younger than me and he's a "real" pirate, so guessing he's trapped in low-sec.

Kind of reminds me of the ole Privateer days -- "you guys are a bunch of empire wussies who only gate camp defenseless newbs!".

When presented with a cogent, logical explanation that makes you look rather bad, avoid the content of Karl's posts. Excellently done. Just so you know, ignoring me is just as good as telling everyone I'm right. See you in low sec! -Karlemgne

Kind of reminds me of the ole Privateer days -- "you guys are a bunch of empire wussies who only gate camp defenseless newbs!". No, I simply quoted your pilot saying you "want" to be pirates, you want to keep your sec status high, and you want this because you are afraid of war decs. There is no possible way he could have meant anything else. But now that you mention it, yeah, I don't think flipping cans and engaging retrievers is anything approaching real pvp. If you'd like, I invite you to come to low sec, and I'll show you what its like to engage a combat ship. See you there. -Karlemgne
Karlemgne The Malevolent	Posted - 2007.07.18 00:50:00 - [85] Originally by: Freddy Jnr Because, as I just found out, he's even younger than me and he's a "real" pirate, so guessing he's trapped in low-sec. You're right, I am younger than you, but somehow I'm less of a noob. Weird. Like I said, you guys are more than welcome to come to low sec and show me how its done. Please, do. I implore you. You'll even have sentry guns on your side. Let me guess, you can't be bothered with anything less than a mining barge. -Karlemgne

This "come out and fight like real men" has been wrote on the forums many times. And laughed at. Then again maybe Mr "I'm a Real Pirate" knows what he is talking about, he is after all in low sec doing "real pvp" with "real pvp'ers". Nah, he's just blowing smoke just like the rest of us in c&p, nothing special (except maybe in his own mind). Want a cookie Mr "I'ma Real Pirate"?

Freddy Jnr Racketeers	Posted - 2007.07.18 09:59:00 - [89] Karl, You have now made it clear to evryone else that you are indeed obsessed with this thread! And you may see me in low sec but I'll be in a gang the size of your corp.
