You’re either overplaying your hand with the alt-drama posting,

(seriously do you guys really not understand that people can compare writing styles?)

Or you’re writing a lot of words for something that for real guys doesn’t bother you.

It kinda has to be one. Either way, it’s silly don’t you think?

I am sorry but I don’t understand what you mean .

This is my thread about ganker fails , it’s also brings to light criminal activity within eve, this is a typical griefing act within Eve, yes all game play indeed and allowed but I can report on it if I please .

With the greatest respect if u don’t like me reporting on criminal and ganker activity please don’t read my post.

And I don’t have or post with any ALTs, unlike some do.

Taking several ships out from your gank fleet before concord even shows isn’t a failure , not much we could do with DPS against the numbers in the fleet but we will always try.

How is that griefing? Its excellent content. And that guy is frankly dumb.

Sigh. Ya’ll don’t know what griefing really is. And you’ll try and use this flimsy excuse to pardon the absolute cancer people ya’ll have in AG.

Maybe EVE really isn’t the game for you huh? But then what would you know? You’re only a line member with no influence.

So, to the core of the topic headline…

Gank failure is subjective.

The fun of organising multibox attacks or rounding up friends for some pvp action is already a win.

Learning how to pvp in hi sec and overcoming challenges of concord etc , leading to better understanding of Ship and game mechanics- that’s a win

Creating income through pvp isk-wise… another win

Whether the intended target goes down or not, it’s subjective as to whether ganker views it a fail…

Ships lost - not a win or loss… just overhead…the ships are considered consumables and not assets

Ships should be considered consumables no matter what the game activity is. They are tools, and tools break.

If more people took this approach, there would be less salt mining. They would shrug it off as a “meh” and go get another drill bit.

On the contrary,

Hanging on to things makes one weak. When they lose it. They are broken as well…

Learn that. as in life, material possessions come and go. In this game, you can approach it however you wish…

Gankers have true freedom, since they don’t have some attachment to a catalyst, rather, the fun it provided till it served its purpose.

That’s the point of pvp… go out kill stuff, or be killed…just enjoy the fun of it.

Or - stay docked up, enjoy the ship in its hanger, safe and out of harm’s way

Oh I totally agree, we all pick sides , and I hope have fun playing in the side you choose. We certainly do .  
We all take part in legitimate game play that’s not in doubt.

We all then decide how we conduct ourselves within the game , how we treat other players and there we have it , so the different groups form and fight for how they want to play.

I support the game mechanics of ganking , just not how some play

When I was like 12 or 13 years old, I was playing Diablo 2, and that was like my first foray into PC multiplayer gaming, along with Counter-Strike, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Battlefield 1942. I was getting into trading, but you know, I was still a _kid._ And one time I got caught in a scam, the “go here and download this to get that” kind. So I did, and it was a keylogger, and my account got stolen, and my browser homepage was changed to goatse. I took a step back and kind of reevaluated how I got to that point, and after that, I _never again_ fell for any sort of scam _ever._

So when I see adults getting bamboozled like this, and not just once but being repeat customers, I have a really difficult time wrapping my mind around what goes on in these people’s heads for them to function on such a level. I don’t consider myself particularly smart or anything, but watching these people reminds me of watching a cow walk into an electric fence, then five minutes later forget what that fence does and _do it again._

Gix why do you repeat this line so much . I don’t know what else to call myself, I’m not in control of my corp , we all come up with ways to make eve entertaining, so I suggest things to do and we try them and have some fun it’s putting them into practice

You said it bruv. It ain’t my fault you can’t stand by your own words. You can’t have it both ways.

Leadership has nothing to do with corp role. It has everything to do with perception and impact.

You had some traction going. Then wussed out, and for dudes who don’t even really play LOL.

Sorry, you get no respect from me moving forward.

You can claim you fight criminals and whatnot all you want, but when it came time to actually do something, you wussed.

That’s on you. And something you gotta live with.
