The original leadership of the AG channels went AFK a year or so after creating the channels. They embrace the AFK lifestyle and it shows. If you look at Silent Infinity’s Alliance logo it even says so… which is pretty ironic since they moved to Null… guess they decided High Sec wasn’t worth fighting for.

Now anyone that ‘gets organized’ or ‘does something’ or ‘actually talks to other players’ in that channel becomes the defacto leadership of AG. You are just the latest in a very long line of community organizers.

The funny thing is that the more you do, the closer you get to becoming one of us. There is an old saying that there is a thin line between anti-ganker and ganker.

That line is the Code, and you’re already making the transition.

Becomes the defacto leadearship of AG _for who_? It’s only CODE that seems to consider me the leader of anything, not the AG community itself.

Many anti-gankers are unbelievably clueless about what I do and how active I am, to the point that some think all I do is talk at best or that I’m a CODE spy at worst. I cannot be much further away from being their leader than that…

You don’t happen to know who was the one before me, do you? I’d like to know just in case that could help me better understand what you mean, because so far all of this doesn’t make much sense to me, at least not in my particular case.

I wonder what makes you think I’m making any transition. I know a lot more now than when I started, but I’ve always understood what this is all about, unlike other anti-gankers that started doing it because they thought suicide ganking is a broken game mechanic and that gankers are sociopaths, bullies and whatnot for the mere fact of having fun shooting stuff in a spaceship shooting game.

There have been times when I’ve got really fed up with the stupidity and unwillingness to learn of _some_ “fellow” anti-gankers (genuine ones, not trolls, mind you). And I hate it when someone decides to waste his and everybody else’s time in these forums asking CCP for one more nerf to suicide ganking because of course the reason it continues happening has to be that it’s “too easy” or “not balanced”.

But even though those things sometimes make me hesitate, still The Code is not for me, sorry. I like minerbumping, I recommend reading the blog to all EvE players, kudos to James 315 for all the work behind it and the content it creates, but that’s it.

Why not follow in the path of Jen en Marland?  
As far as I’m concerned, ag truly died when she left to do her own thing, and the only ones with “power” are delusional cretins (not pointing my finger at you here, from all the exchanges on the forums you look like a nice lad)

I spend most of the time hunting/harassing gankers in Gallente and Minmatar space, mainly the Balle \<-\> Hek pipe.

I don’t operate in Amarr and Caldari space, I’m KOS there, those empires don’t like me and I don’t have much sympathy for them either, I proudly have terrible standings with them. 😁

Still wondering why anyone that knew already would ask and anyone that didn’t would care… 😄

So, knowledgeminer, if you are "KoS’ as you say in Amarri and Caldari space, wouldn’t you have a more engaging game experience there? You say you don’t have much sympathy for Amarr, so why don’t you come to Uedama, and take out an Ark? That’ll really inspire the good Gallente folk back home, and send the Pretendress Catiz a clear warning.

Flying what? What I fly is more engaging to me than what I kill with it. That’s one of the reasons why anti-ganking is more appealing to me than ganking.

That said, if that Ark happened to carry slaves that’s actually a proposition I might want to consider… 😉

lol 🤣

CODE. sits in a pipe and dunks freighters one after the other, sometimes makes isk, has fun blowing ships up.

Antigankers watch CODE. as they whore on concord kills and try to thief.

One group creates content and is relevant and the other thinks they’re relevant as they sit there 15 hours a day doing nothing but fail.

No, it’s not. It does seem dumb to you and you look at ships as if they were only ammo precisely because you only see the blow up stuff part of the fun, which is what I’m saying is not what I find most fun.

If you liked to do things that required a ship to be capable of doing more than merely shooting, like cov ops cloak, for example, then you would see things differently.

Same if you liked the _challenge_ of being able to stop a gank and save the victim or “steal” the loot if it dies. I understand you may not see the fun in that, but I do.

Not to mention the roleplaying aspect of the game, which you may or may not enjoy, but some people simply enjoy hunting/harassing the “bad” guys, and that’s my case too.

> [@Australian\_Excellence](#):

That’s **not** what I do. I do sometimes fail and may get a CONCORD whoring kill as a result, but that’s unintended and I don’t post it to zKill, nor brag about it nor anything.

BTW, CODE does sometimes whore on CONCORD kills too, with those smartbombing Mallers at the end of a gank, for example.

> [@Australian\_Excellence](#):

That I like to do (from the gankers or other thieves). And I find it fun too.

You idiots literally fail EVERY time because you’re all that bad at the game.

Be honest with yourself. You’ve never stopped a gank, you’re a complete failure like the rest of the toxic ag ‘community’.

That’s to get the pods and farm bounties. A little different from a group of complete idiots failing all day and then linking their ‘kills’ in ag chats with the top damage from concord 😂

> [@Knowledgeminer](#):

That’s all ag are at the end of the day. Thieves. And not even good ones, out of the hundreds of billions we kill a month maybe 500mil is taken.

But its okay. You can take our scraps while you sit there watching elite pvpers all day while you yourself fail nonstop daily hahaha 🤣

Never forget that ‘former’ antiganker #toxicplayers
