Nobody should believe anything I say just because I say so, regardless of whether I’ve ever ganked or not.

But that you would dismiss anything I say about suicide ganking simply because I’ve never ganked myself, and cannot even understand there is no way I could do what I do if I didn’t have a VERY good understanding of how it all works in general and why gankers sometimes fail in particular, says it all about you…

What? :roll_eyes: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

If you wanted to do anti-bumping activities, what would you do?

I’d try counter-bumping first, to see how hard it really is, and if I fail at first assume it’s because I’m not good enough at it yet.

[How did this post manage to appear as if I had already edited it when I had just posted it?]

Well if you know the time, place and the enemy’s composition (thanks to a scan), you are in quiet the good position to gank them. I’m guessing 4-5 Cats would do it.

I would posit that you are quite good ganker :stuck_out_tongue:
It is just that the target of your ganks are gankers themselves xD

Get the respawn rate of HS Incursions un-nerfed and you’ll get my vote LL

See the trick is? We cannot do anything UNLESS we get your votes.

I would rather see what rattles down the pipe with Trig incursions before I pushed too hard for Sanshas to get boosted back to pre nerf levels. If that costs me your vote? Oh well.

Would you rather I lied to you and promised the moon or told you what I really thought?

I am fairly sure nothing came into yulai that we did not kill. It was a feeding frenzy.

Bad thing is, if and when CCP investigates (if it has been reported to them?) we will never know the answer as it would be between CCP and Thorgrill

Great post!

@Lorelei_Ierendi

Do you want to gain actual experience in game play beyond what you believe to know as “ganking”?

I don’t dismiss anything you have said just because you have never ganked.

If you say so…
But then what is it that you do?

And I should know about what you do and how you do it… ? You have not really provided any… details.

And the fact that you think I know all about you and what you do says some stuff about you.

All I have seen here from you is someone coming in, not really reading the posts and spamming my thread along with other people such that there has not really been any point in posting anything constructive about anything in some time.

But well… the post count is funny.

That’s what I asked the scientist with knowledge of statistics to try giving me a ballpark estimate how much I would need to try and gank in order to be able to make some statements. I’ve tried quite a few things.
The only reason I tried ganking anything was because the subject was raised in my first thread…

Well in recent weeks CCP has been getting more public with talking about bans and stuff. Maybe a slow policy change…

Very telling… You keep looking more and more like some other quality poster here…

I’m a miner, it’s in my name even, and I spend most of the time talking on the forums about things I don’t understand.

Heck, if knowing what one is talking about turns out to not be a requirement I might run for the CSM one of these years even… :rofl:

Oh ok.

He can give you a number, but that number is still just a number. One can not put a number on experience, especially because that number does not take into account the single most important variable: You.

If you make an amarr alpha char, prepare a magnate (with cargo rigs and t2 cargo expanders, for 1600m³ cargo space), fit it with a cargo scanner, ship scanner, auto targetter and a propmod, I’ll go on a suicide roam with you.

Like I actually did with new players in the past. Alternatively you can fit my double- or tripple-volley thrasher and we’ll try finding a target without scanning. Scanning is overrated anyway. I love sports hunting where you don’t get to know what’s inside, or if I can actually can take it down.

No scouting alts, btw.
That’s boring.

Interested?

btw, Knowledgeminer actually did shoot me down in Hek. He hid at a can, cloaked. I didn’t notice him until it was too late, and I didn’t have the backup necessary to take him down. He’s basically doing more against gankers than pretty much anyone else I’ve come across, random passers-by who think they can take pot-shots, excluded.

I’m not going to have time before the elections are over.
But it could be interesting.

What would I need the magnate for?

The magnate is the noobs scouting ship. Any noob can use it within minutes, the scanners iirc are pre-skilled already, including the autotargeter. Don’t quote me on it, I don’t remember off the top of my head.

It’s for them to actually put work into playing, while learning how to play, while actually having a chance of making money, combined with the possibility of getting to meet and talk to people from random interactions in local, sprinkled with a bit of excitement.

It’s not for everyone, though, because … well … you actually have to put effort into your game. Just like I did in my past and do so nowadays, assuming I actually care to log in.

I’ve let them keep the loot of whatever I’ve ganked. If we fail to find a proper target (which happens a lot more than you might think, because I don’t actually like ganking miners), then I just throw money at him when he actually put effort into it.

FYI, Lorelei does have a pretty good idea of what it is that I do in game. She’s in AG channel too. She just has no idea how I do it.

But she has no problem dismissing what I’m saying (and she doesn’t understand) simply because I’ve never ganked… only to later say she hasn’t done that…

I don’t dismiss anything you have said just because you have never ganked.

I have never dismissed anything you say just because you have never ganked.
I was dismissing stuff you have said long before I knew you have never ganked.

I see you in the AG channel. I don’t really have an idea of what you are doing.
I do not know what a lot of people in there are doing.
