> [@ResonanceOfWar](#): > > PvP is any interaction between players that is competitive in nature. What is PvP slang for? This slang acronym is most frequently used on the internet to represent the phrase “ **player versus player**. .” It is a video game term that is used to define situations where players play or battle against other players rather than playing against characters controlled by the computer or the game itself. **NOTICE** : “ **that is competitive in nature** ” DOES NOT appear in the definition, you just added that. > [@ResonanceOfWar](#): > > 0 risk type of game play. Wrong again. A failed gank is wasted ships, as is a poor drop. ---

So if I sit on a nullsec gate with my 10 buddies camping with scouts 3 systems out and kill any solo guys that come in and go and dock up when gangs come through there is risk to that? **NOTICE** : “ **that is competitive in nature** ” DOES NOT appear in the definition, you just added that. So you are saying that you have no capacity to think for yourself as you only take into account what other people say? By your definition saying hello in chat is initiating pvp, which is just wrong. ---

**‘How do you define ganking, pvp and trolling’** I define trolling as people endlessly posting threads about how to ‘define’ ( or rather re-define ) things because they don’t like the definitions that have existed for 20 years. ---

That is a sub species of troll, the **whinotroll** ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/b/d/bbd2cc5e593388c35dc48182ac7e3e14e310aad5.webp) They tend to have an adverse reaction to PvP Their natural habitat is highsec, but have beenseen in null sec, hanging around in large groups, with a compulsion to hit the F1 key at anything that isn’t blue. On the first sign of danger , though, the natural instinct of the null sec whinotrolls is to scurry to the nearest station , until they can gather in sufficently large numbers to massively overwhelm the invader by rapidly thumping their F1 Keys. ---

Our movement defines ganking and trolling as words. PVP Isn’t really a word so that’ll be defined as abbreviation. All these words and abbreviations should be put under one definition called **content**. Content is what we want and what we, as Eve players, create. Theres no point in trying to find some greater meaning for all of this. Now you should press the undock aka create content button and go save mike. #SaveMike ---

“I” define ganking, pvp and trolling as EVE Online. I just do not get the confusion that others seem to have. Posting in the forums is the same as undocking in game. You consent to PVP. ---
