You sir are an idiot. Pirates followed a code and were highly democratic in their ideals and operations. Even 99% of the ship captains were elected by the crew.
Now, back to eve....(stuff).
Idiot? No U!!
First, you watched pirates of the Caribbean way too many times. Quit romanticizing.
Pirates were criminals of the worst type - have you actually ever read the kind of sh!t they did?
What you're describing isn't democracy - no captains were elected - they either gained favor with their crew by assuring a large cuts and successful raids or they were cruel and feared enough to demand respect and loyalty.
Now, going back to eve, as you put it, (as if a comparison of 17th century buccaneers and our activities in an internet spaceship game isn't a non sequitur), let me break it down for you.
We kill you. We take your money, we take everything you have. All of it.
You accept bribes, which you call ransoms, in lue of taking everything.
Imho Your definition of piracy is more exemplified by Mexican police accepting bribes(or do you call them ransoms?) from foreigners after threatening to impound their vehicles. (no insult to Mexico intended).

first of all, you must have done something to these guys in order for them to be able to attack you in highsec. you got killed in a 0.8 system, so unless you were at war with them you must have done something for them to be able to shoot at you without getting concord all up on their shit. So you should re-think that. As for ransoms, well its a touchy subject. I would say tat 99% of the time ransoms are honoured by real pirates as its the main form of income for a pirate. And the other 1% is a lack of communication, a delay on the ransom payers part, or a number of other things that can happen really quickly and when you are working with people who you don't usually work with resulting in you getting popped even after you pay the ransom. But when this happens the ISK is given back. i hate when this happens because it makes s look like idiots. I really support ransoms and honour them, if your man enough to know when you are beaten and pay up i will let you go no harm done. its bad business when you start killing people you are ransoming.

Originally by: Cypher Run No. I dont think anyone's accusing you of wanting to blow up government buildings. But given internet anonymity and should you have the chance as you have here, you'd act like a total jerk and ass about a game that in the long run you clearly care nothing about.
Granted I am old, and I did inhale, so I am kind of missing a few brain cells but I must care about this game seeing how I have stuck with it going on two years. Within that time period I have played countless other games, both online and single player. Yet during that whole time I never canceled my subscription to Eve, paying my $15 USD a month fee.
You see me has acting like a jerk and an ass in game. I see me has adding content and giving life to High Sec. We also teach the finer points on High Sec aggression. You don't like it then do something about it instead of sitting on your High Horse of Internet Honor and spouting fine words in the forums.

Cliff's notes for this thread so far:
Duumas cried about getting ganked after paying a ransom *IN HIGH SEC* Duumas gets laughed at for the most part *LOW SEC* pirates invade the thread stating that we, NightCrew, are dumb and shooting ourselves in the foot I explain that due to aggro mechanics, not honoring ransoms has a much better payout A few low sec pirates get the fundamental difference, the rest can't be bothered to actually READ the thread. Throw in some tangential dribble, and voila! Here we are!
Also, I missed my mark of 5 pages by Sunday. I feel like a complete failure and am now quiting EvE. My most prized possessions will be in a can 20k off station. Please pick them up with your best faction fitted.

Concerning "historical pirates".
Originally by: Terra Mikael

Look whos romanticising now. Piracy was generally condoned by nations. Ever heard of letters of marque or Sir Francis Drake? It was cheaper to fund pirates than maintaining a fleet, and generally fleets were disbanded during peacetime. A lot of pirates were also funded by nobles and rich men, because of the earning potential. Several pirates earned millions.
Originally by: Terra Mikael
What you're describing isn't democracy - no captains were elected - they either gained favor with their crew by assuring a large cuts and successful raids or they were cruel and feared enough to demand respect and loyalty.
The Pirates in the carribean elected their leaders, based on different criterea, but generally elected their leaders, some ended up as leaders because they actually owned the ship, some ended up as leaders because they had a reputation, some ended up as leaders because they promised loot, some were hired. Pirates were also generally unracist.
Different pirate crews generally had their own codes/rules. These rules governed different things. Such as loot (people with jobs got extra shares, wounded people got extra shares etc), conduct on the ship (no **** of women, no noise after dark, no abondoning of posts) and punishement for those who broke them (keelhauling, executions etc.). There rules were voted for, like most other things, then signed by each member of the crew, new members (forcefully or willingly) also signed when they joined the crew.
Pirates did press specialists into joining their crew.
Anyways -MOST- pirate captains were elected.
Pirates weren't really that brutal. Not any more than anyone else who lived in their time period. We are talking about a time period where people were flogged, tortured, executed, deported etc. for minor things.

First of, Ransoms are just that, ransoms. They are not bribes, which is evident of the nature of the payment.
A bribe would be: I give you isk if you look the other way.
Ransom is: Pay me isk, or else I will hurt you.
Second off, your action is better examplified by American police using the War on Drugs to impound peoples money and assets.
Third off, you are a dolt.

There we go, fixed your post for you.
Still, like I said above, historical accounts of (privateers/buccaneers) bear no relevance to the subject at hand.
Originally by: Inertial Pirates were also generally unracist.
Now, if you implied that I'm racist in that post for suggesting that, ZOmg! The police in mexico are corrupt, maybe you should take a trip to TJ a few times dressed like a clueless tourist. Still, only a dolt, as you put it, would believe that a criticism of a country's government is equal to racism. _________________________________________________ Ninja Looter, Ninja Salvager, And High sec suicide Ganker - Making high-sec feel like low-sec, not for ISK, but for LuLz. |

Originally by: Jesslyn Daggererux who the hell says pirating has to be a lucritive business?! why does it have to be a business at all? id do this even if i got no loot. its not about the money to me, its the pop of a nub who was ******ed enough to bring it upon themselves.
Ah now i get it. You're not a pirate. You're a part time pirate, like false wanna-be-pirate. You have day job in Eve and play "pirate" at nights. You think you're a pirate but you're not.
Go back to your mining/industry/trade/missions or what ever you're doing and leave the pirating to the real pirates. You're just ****ing someone elses pool and they don't like it.
The the OP. Please don't take these idiots personally. Your warning is/was valid.

Im assuming you define a pirate as someone who's just in it for the money. If you had read the thread and not just quoted something you could get an easy "score" on, you might have noticed the discussion about what a pirate really is.
Also, to whoever thinks dishonouring ransoms is bad for the wallet. I made 1 bil over 24h doing just that. Bite me.

There is a fine line between privateers and pirates and it often disappears.

Someone brought the issue up, and I felt like commenting on it, I don't care about the fact that you guys dishonour ransoms, personally I don't, but each to his own.

You are reading to much into things, I didn't imply you were racist, I know that the police several places are corrupt.

Ninja edit:
Originally by: Inertial your action is better exemplified by American police using the War on Drugs to impound peoples money and assets.
Awww, you sound bitter. Did the big bad policemen bust your methlab and take ur lootz?
No, the big bad policemen didn't bust my methlab, it is perfectly safe, and so is my "lootz". Besides, I am not American.
What I meant was that, like the American police, you go for everything, instead of repeat customers (edit: not that you are likely to get any tough). The police in the US, will take anything that might be related to drug "crimes". I heard about a guy who paid for a airplane ticket in cash, and arrested and had 10k dollars confiscated because the police "suspected" that it was drug money. The guy was on his way to vegas . Besides that, if you buy drugs, while sitting in a vehicle/drove to wherever it took place, the police can confiscate the vehicle, because it was used to accquire drugs or whatever. Besides the fact that you get you vehicle confiscated, you also go to prison, unlike in the case of the mexican police, where if you are lucky, you might just have to pay a few dollars, and then you can go home. Not that mexican police are extrodinary, a friend once bribed a American airport official to take some extra stuff with him back home (intercontinental flight).

I believe Duumas was the surname of the famous French (?) author who wrote "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo".
Edit: Big fan of the three musketeers. Great story, if you haven't read it/them, pick up the book(s) and do so.

You may be one or more of the following:
A carebear with a bloated sense of self importance. An alt of someone we've made go all explodey. An alt of a low sec pirate who lacks reading comprehension or who didn't bother to read the thread *or* my handy-dandy cliff's notes.
Really, the only people still arguing about what happened with the OP are those who didn't actually read the thread or are too stubborn to admit that we (NightCrew) have a perfectly valid method of maximizing our wallets.
On second thought, maybe it's best that you *do* think we're dumb and shooting ourselves in the foot.

you should learn some manners dear sir then maybe just mabye pilots would look up towards your corp as one they may join. not just a bunch of wannabie so called pirates/merc's
