Always pays to honour your word imho, or you'll just end up like a certain perma banned pirate that has a rather warped view on himself.
-being hated by all and eventually your own corp.
Like the guy said above me, it isnt a day ticket for npc'in etc, 15mins was plenty of time to get out and either refit, bring some friends or move to a safe distance.

this thread got out of hand...
but i see your points..
- gang invites are pretty lame, i think i'll quit doin it
- some people think that lvl3 blocade should be tankable in a pvp fit ishkur that had just fought a drake that was older than me(sorry i'm not uber :|)
- some people have no honor and forums was a bad place to pose this question
i guess the ideas that answered my question were either
- i shouldn't have kileld him cause corp mate ronsoming should give the guy a free pass, or
- i was justified cause i didn't help ransom the drake.
i learned about the ransom before i attacked him, but i figured he wasn't my ransom he's fair game. and 15m is kinda low.
i hope i haven't made my corp look bad cause we are nothing if not honorable. (did something i thought might be of questionable integrity and went and made a post :P)
thanks

I, on the otherhand don't. If you ransomed him, you should have given him 24 hours.
24 hours...
Yes, 24 hours. That is, of course, unless you specify in the ransom negotiations that this is a one time deal, and that they should leave the system.
If you just leave it at isk and I let you go about your business, then you should do just that. Let him go about his business.
Otherwise you are intentionally obfuscating your intentions, which, to me, is as good as just taking his money, then blowing his butt up.

I seriously don't understand why people still pay ransoms. Actually TRUSTING people to honor their word in this game? WTF are you smoking?
People pay ransoms because there are Corporations out there who stand by the contract they open with the 'customer'. If you are ever invited into our ransom channel you can be assured that the price you pay (isk, singing or lately poetry) will secure your release. People pay because we stand by our word.
For what it's worth.

Me personally... I would have killed him.
I've only ransomed 1 person, ever... It was a 10 day old player, in a rifter. Told him 50k ISK, and I'd let him go, he would have 15 minutes to GTFO of my system.
Could of seconds went by, he said he couldn't pay me due to trial account. So I killed him.. and gave him 10 mill 
My opinion is my own, not of my corp or my alliance. If you have problems, we can have a "who can do L4 missions faster" duel >:) |

I rarely ransom.
Maybe if the customer at hand pilots a ship fitted with extraordinary goodies. Too much hazzle to put up with otherwise.
They donŠt speak english, have a severely disrupted sense of time, and are in every way unwilling to comply with given orders and to just... accept their fate. 
But if a there is a deal about ransom and you still kill the guy afterwards, you are just plain stupid.
That pilot will probably be a lot harder to milk isk from the next time he ends up in a gatecamp, and there are a few colleagues in here that do care about ransoming. You are destroying their business as well as your own in the long run.

ransom is just let them escape nothin else
But is it OK to then give their location to your corpmates so they can go ransom the guy also?
Seems like that would be another reason why people wouldn't pay ransoms. If your victims think they'll be treated like an ATM by your entire corp, they won't pay any longer.
by paying us you escape, it's up to you if you want to get caught again.......

...I mean your corp should maybe kick you just cos you have no honour, but then....they let you in so standards are probably low...
Well we wouldn't be much of a pirate corp if we kicked out our pirates, especially our founding members, now would we? But thanks for your input on the topic at hand. 
Yeah well, as I said - standards are low..... A decent pirate corp would frown on such behaviour as it is unworthy and undermines the ransom system - even pirates can have honour ya know?
Also regardless of the ransom, using gang to kill someone while they mission is pretty much bottom of the food chain piracy, amoeba have more honour...... And possibly more skill too
