Seal meat is a delicacy and their fur is the softest in the business.

Easily rectified, bring them to **Uedema**. Make sure to fill them with **goodies** or the cure won’t work.

Unfortunately for you and your killboard, I’m not a complete moron, unlike a lot of the people who keep whining about ganking, and I do my best to get through Uedama about as fast as possible while still paying attention. (Forgot to add, I usually tank my freighters out as much as possible)

It’s funny because I actually brought my alt through Uedema in a t2 caldari hauler with massive resists and active tank, and they agressed with 40 guys and all died to concord before my alt did, it was wonderful.

Little did they know my alt had full high grade crystals.

Well, I’m glad you hold the same opinion. Maybe you could tell your buddies to not shoot me the second they realize I have some shinies on me, and I’ll let you and Aiko wail on my freighter a little.

I guess I’m going to assume that you were in fleet not of your corporation.  
In that case I don’t see why they should’ve helped you. If I had been in that fleet and saw your ship blow up I would’ve went: ♪ Another One Bites The Dust ♫ 🙂

Honestly, I was still pretty new to the game at that point and was still pretty naïve. Nowadays I realize that nobody _should_ help me, unless they’re in my corp. Even then I wouldn’t blame them for trying to escape.

I understand how you felt when they didn’t help but it’s a good lesson.  
@Aiko_Danuja is right when she said “No one cares” because it is immensely obvious that we don’t… maybe I shouldn’t speak for the others.  
**I don’t care one way or the other** I’m just here for a game, not to play Mother Theresa.

Indeed, I feel like I’m definitely a better player for realizing that I should be responsible for me. I also feel like I don’t put out as much salt as most, but also I haven’t been ganked recently. I _did_ see a bowhead get dropped by like 30 stealth bombers. It’s a shame I was already warping by the time I saw them, would’ve brightened up that little hauling trip a lot.

# Like Githany Red, Mother Teresa Was No Saint

… her problematic legacy, which includes [forced conversion](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/02/25/why-to-many-critics-mother-teresa-is-still-no-saint/), questionable relations with dictators, gross mismanagement, and actually, pretty bad medical care. Worst of all, she was the quintessential white person expending her charity on the third world…a study found that hardly anyone who came seeking medical care found it there. Doctors observed unhygienic, “even unfit,” conditions, inadequate food, and no painkillers – not for lack of funding.

I distrust people who advertise themselves as saints. Generally they’re so self adsorbed that they could power a Trig ship.

I don’t know if she pretended or not and, again, I don’t care.  
Also, it’s easy to bring up dirt on someone who can’t defend themselves because they’re **dead**. It happens often these days, pooping on someone’s grave. They did it with Sean Connery, Serge Gainsbourg, John Kennedy and the list goes on.

She didn’t “advertise” herself as a saint. The Church made her a saint after her death.

Anywhooo… Back on topic. How do I define Ganking, PvP and Trolling?

I don’t. I don’t have to, all I have to do is understand the game, gain more knowledge and then act on that.

In the past we would have helped as we did many pilots , we saved some massive cargo loads and some payed us well .

So eve is not always as dark as it first appears .

Just be careful how you chat to these people , words like “I’m not a complete moron” are like a red flag to a bull if you get my meaning
