So I was just trying to figure out what these catagories meant...
Pirate= Fights for ransom money
PvP'er= Fights for fight
Merc = Fights for contract ISK
Anti-pie= fights for enhanced corp cohesion (?)
These were the only things that I could come up with that really were defining of the groups. Someone care to help me figure this out? |

hrmm. That sounds plausible.
Wouldnt that mean however that Anti-pie types would *want* to stay in character and actually only shoot pirates? Mos everyone has come across a "anti-pie" that shoot anything that is not blue (Including each other... which was funny as hell to watch when the crying started in local). Or are these people just half-assing thier RP and thats why it comes undone? |

So far I have to agree with Nav... All the groups are the same when it comes down to brass tacks.
So Pie= anti-pie= Merc= PvP'er
The only difference then is how much RP you want to have in your game (as evidenced by Ayari's comment that they are anti-pie and dont accept people without the maturity to be that.... at least i assume that was RP... otherwise i will LOL)and/or how much keeping your security status high so you can run missions/mine/wutever in safesec is a priority.
Given that RP breaks down when there are no flashy's to shoot, this can get simplified to "OMG, I have to keep sec status up so i can keep using my agent in [insert high qual lvl 4 agent system]!!" for most circumstances.
Thanks for clearing all this up!

The term pirate seems to mean "someone who killed me when I didn't want to fight."
This only accentuates (sp?) my statement that ant-pie and pie are the same. I am sure that there have been numerous occasions when a pie was, for whatever reason, not looking for a fight and was shot down by anti-pie blobs. Or you can visualize the scenario that a solo pie is engaged by a ship or set of ships that he stands NO chance of surviving or even harming. In both of these situations the anti-pie are the pie given your statement.

Anti-Pi just likes to play "pop the blinkie". Its a sport like fox hunting.
Ok this i understand. Its like a pirate playing "pop the hauler".

The difference is, you at least have guns fitted, unlike that badger pilot you just podded. You chose to be -5, anti-pirates are there to make sure there are consequences. It's all about Risk vs Reward. Is that BS that just jumped through the gate a juicy target full of T2 loot, or is it the bait for an anti-pirate gang on the other side? Makes things more interesting for you, and makes it less easy for you to sit on a lowsec gate and harvest kills all day.
LOL
1) Badgers never fit guns/ are bait? No real difference seen here imo. Besides, even with guns fit on my ishkur, the 10 cruisers that might come hunt me yields the same net result as shooting a itty... no risk on the part of the attacker. Therefore no difference can be found at the core level.
2) Anti- pie are there to make sure there are consequences?? So if i am red-flashy I dont have to worry about some other pirate ganking me.... Funny, I live in losec and consider everyone to be hostile, so i dont see what you mean with this comment. There is nothing to distinguish anti-pie from anyone else.
3) Only just gotten into gate work so I cant say i camp.... its really hard to camp in a cruiser or AF. Regardless, sitting on a gate harvesting kills only seems like a way to either A) get what you really want (real fight) or B) easy way of making quick cash... like farming AE or WC. If anti-pie are dirupting the B) scenario then they are no different than the "griefers" they supposedly are fighting against. |
