That was easy, wasn’t it? Just humbly ask someone from the New Order and you will get the current meaning of the word ganking. ---

> [@holdmybeer](#): > > As far as have seen, it means that whoever killed the other target is vastly superior compared to the one who got killed, and the one who got killed by this vastly superior force is the one who was ganked. The definition seems slightly flawed to me as _superior_ can mean a lot of things and will definitely get misused by some on the human level only to say they’re superior. I personally define it as “being attacked or shot down in an unexpected, surprising or non-consensual way”. I often see it as the main reason for why people are saying it. Only when they knew it’s going to happen, when they have predicted it or knowingly forced it to happen, then it’s more often seen as a _loss_, a _kill_ and less often as a _gank_. When I know there are gankers in Uedama and I know I have billions worth of cargo, and I got scanned, and I still keep flying my ship through it, and I’m now getting bumped, too, to finally I have 20 destroyers dropped on me, then I don’t consider it a _gank_. To me it’s only a _loss_, a _kill_, or I might just use the word _dumb_, but it’s not a _gank_ to me. If I said I got ganked in this situation then only to pretend that I’m a victim of circumstances in which I had no control in, that it was totally unexpected, etc., while I know it’s not true. But when I sit in a belt with a 90k eHP Skiff mining peacefully, and a destroyer starts shooting at me, because I didn’t notice it coming then it’s a _gank_ to me, even when the destroyer didn’t get the job done. I’d still call it an attempted _gank_. Nor does one always get attacked when mining and so it still is a surprise and more unexpected than expected to happen. But … I also like the definition of _gang killing_ even when I see a lot of people using it for kills in a 1vs1 fight, or when they haven’t even been killed. ---

This is EXACTLY what gank means. At this point I think I’m just answering to a troll now. Misunderstanding the definition of “gank” at this level of wrong is just… …typical eve online forum conversation? And finally, I don’t think the words **vastly superior** can mean a lot of things either, I think everyone knows what that means. ---

It’s my observation on how the word is being used. Just like one can say that whenever people are aroused and then start responding, that they’re more often wrong than right, and because they didn’t think before responding, but act out of impulse, thinking they got attacked and now need to defend themselves by any means (i.e. using caps, calling someone a troll, blaming the forum, etc.). ---
