Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.09.28 18:37:00 - [1] I could canflip and only engage the "escorts" that arrive and engage me (or, better said, the flipee's new combat ship out of storage). But I'm not evil enough for that. I could go in lowsec and start trouble, but I'd probably end up paying the poor sod for whatever I destroyed from under his pod. I could go in 0.0 and just get wasted by a gatecamp, but I don't feel like doing that. So... now what ? _ [CNVTF] is recruiting \| Char creation guide \| Stack-nerfing explained
Hunters Presence Amarr Nuclear Engagement	Posted - 2007.09.28 18:46:00 - [2] Go into lowsec and start trouble with people you think will be a challenge, despite your moral inhibitions. You'd be surprised how quickly yarrness grows on you, then you can go for the easy targets. It's quite scary, really. I think the catalyst is how pathetically some of the carebears whine at you after you blow them up. You develop a hatred for them pretty quickly. I had the same problem. Still do, occasionally. Then I think back to some of the smacktalk I've got and I'm scanning for a target two seconds later.
IgnorantBliss Gallente Friendly Hostility	Posted - 2007.09.28 18:48:00 - [3] Go "Anti-Pirate" and attack all the flashy-red targets, and those that do the can-flipping and such, and as the boredom overcomes you, you'll eventually start just shooting everything you can and leave your morals behind. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

TBH, I respect pirates who honor ransoms far more than anti-pirates who are honorable in their dealings with neutrals, yet give no quarter to pirates. At least pirates are earning a (dis)honest living. Some of the antipirate groups out there are far more scary and disadvantageous to even associate with. - Odd Pod Out, a blog of EVE Online

Marcathonas Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.09.28 19:10:00 - [6] Voting shoot everything that blinks. The difference the sentry guns being on the other bloke and not you makes is pretty epic too. It also enables you to take on multiple targets at once, if you like dying a fair bit Failing that, nanoship, jump into gatecamp, kill smaller blinky people, run from larger blinky people and recons

Countess Xiao	Posted - 2007.09.28 19:28:00 - [8] It grows on you. The squishes of pods and distant screams of anguish as you obliterate yet another carebears hard-earned ship, are both strangely addictive..

Your actions in game is not a true indicator of who you are out of game. Relax and make some friends. Find your self a nemesis. Have fun rather than trying to figure out if there will be moral implications for you actions.
Morbo Rigatoni	Posted - 2007.09.28 20:50:00 - [10] Join a pirate corp like I did, after over a year of carebearing. Then, when you participate in a gank squad or run up noob-alt-hauler killmails, you can tell yourself, "Everyone was doing it. I just wanted to be popular."

Your actions in game is not a true indicator of who you are out of game. Relax and make some friends. Find your self a nemesis. Have fun rather than trying to figure out if there will be moral implications for you actions. Oh Gods yes. In real life I have the highest moral standards. In the game, I'm a slave-peddling, dirty pirating honour-bound mercenary. Only fools fancy me a cruel person outside the game.
Donald Trump Minmatar Brutor tribe	Posted - 2007.09.28 21:01:00 - [12] Go to lowsec. Wait. Watch shiney. Attack shiney. You cant resits the basic insincts. Ive been in lowsec mostly for what... 1-2 months now... 2 times Ive engaged in pirating, resulting in a dead falcon one time and a freighter wreck the second time. Pure pirating is overrated, oppertunityhunting is a nicer profession.

Durethia Momentum. The Reckoning.	Posted - 2007.09.28 21:19:00 - [14] The easiest way to solve the moral obsticles when trying to become a pirate is to do the following. Don't try to be come a pirate. Doing so, only makes you act the way you THINK the real pirates act. You are a carebear, so be a carebear. Except, carebear in low-sec. After a while, after losing enough Miner IIs, Strip Miners, Mining Barges or battleships... you will morph into a heartless pod pilot with vengeance. You will then, become a pirate. You do not have to be taught, you will "understand" the ways of the Holy Yarrr. This period is called The Enlightenment or The Birth. A pirate, is, who you'll become and anyway you act can qualify as "pirate" actions. Sometimes, some might slip into darkness and be blind of the True Way, the Golden Jumpgate (monks humming). This is called "pity", and some claim there's a definition to such a word, but I can't find it in my personalized dictionary. Must have scribbled it out... anyways, it's just a word and probably isn't important.

Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.09.28 22:37:00 - [16] You're playing a game, being "evil" is a notion connected to the real world, and even there it's mostly used by zealots. - Recruitment open again-
Lance Cuthroat The Hieros Confederacy	Posted - 2007.09.28 23:33:00 - [17] Get in a Frig, speed tank it, and go to lo sec fighting everyone you find. The challenge is worth the risk, and it is a cheap way to not only pirate, but not worry about losing all your money. Not to mention most pirates are good chatters and you can learn a lot. Oh and usually the others will attack you first so your not really even a pirate. Quote: You will be happy to know that you don't have to share it with me. I'll gladly take it all.
hellsknights Hells Angels Inc.	Posted - 2007.09.29 00:41:00 - [18] I think it a lot harder to go from pirate to carebear then it is to do the opposite. I never got a rush from participating in a mining op. recruitment thread Join channel Hells Angels Inc
Flinx Evenstar Minmatar Spartan Industries Cruel Intentions	Posted - 2007.09.29 00:49:00 - [19] Edited by: Flinx Evenstar on 29/09/2007 00:49:11 Originally by: Akita T I could canflip and only engage the "escorts" that arrive and engage me (or, better said, the flipee's new combat ship out of storage).

I could go in 0.0 and just get wasted by a gatecamp, but I don't feel like doing that. So... now what ? Ok...stop can flipping, it's not piracy, it's just ** Yes go to low sec. People there will blow the crap out of you. That may harden your soft skin You will go back and blow the bejesus out of them. This is piracy, your heart should beat fast, and you should smile lots when you win. Leave the ****** can flipping behind...it is the most carebear pvp there is I, erm, like kill things and stuff
Sirius Problem Darkness Inc.	Posted - 2007.09.29 02:12:00 - [20] I used to feel bad about the killing when I first started. Even to the point of sometimes replacing ships and giving money to my victims, especially if they were fairly new and were suckered by game mechanics (aggro rules) that I happened to understand better. My oh my how things change in a short while. DIE MOFO! DIE!! As said, it's just a game and nothing is really more fun that to see someone get all bent out of shape and screaming in local after you've popped them. We have a special place on our forums for these delightful convos Since you seem a little morally apprehensive, pass on the can flipping in high-sec, where there is some expectation of safety, and head straight to low-sec. It's a dangerous place and everybody should know that everything is up for grabs. ---- Some people say I have a bad attitude. Those people are stupid.

Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2007.09.29 02:19:00 - [21] try pouring some hotsauce in your eyes, all the greatest pvpers do it (although if you do it you will sure be evil enough to kill me )
Rooker Lysian Enterprises	Posted - 2007.09.29 15:14:00 - [22] I'm the same way lol Went out yarring for the first time last night. Melted a couple of noobs in a belt (see? belt piracy still exists!). They dropped bugger all and it wasn't much of a fight. Wasn't all that fun tbh.. -- This Space For Rent

I COULD attack only Gallente players in Gallente ships RP FTW Die Caldari scum! But just look around belts, maybe scan at a safespot, look for ships, and sooner or later somebody's gonna shoot back. Just make sure his ship isn't bigger than yours :) ------------------------------ One more soldier off to war... And one Velator in my hangars.

Where you go from there is up to you. edit - add alcohol and your other favorite party favors, and a lust for destruction... you'll be all set - edit
Liang Nuren The Refugees	Posted - 2007.09.30 05:13:00 - [30] Hey Akita... I'd just bust out the pirate in me (its not very hard for me lol..), but you could also consider joining a merc corp. Liang Yarr?
