How Do You Find Joy?

Did I menion that even though you see yourself as a ganker, you still need a mining permit, and a generous cut of all profits must be sent to AIko.

Yes, everything you said was nonsense.

Avoiding a gank and counterplay are two different things.

Not logging is avoids being ganked. Are you going to call that counterplay?

*Those are not expensive ships that you’re flying. My pids cost a lot more.

Surely, if you avoid the gank you make redundant the need for counterplay?

If by ‘counterplay’ you mean something else, then I’d be interested to know what you do mean. I suspect you are thinking that there should exist the option of activating a module so that the gank cannot proceed, or of using an (as yet unavailable) obstructive game mechanic.

It’s a bit off-topic here, so it should be noted that the ganker finds joy in ganking and that the target may find equal joy in thwarting him or her. Whether it’s called avoidance, evasion, counterplay or 15th Century Plainchant - it’s available to all!

Only when all you have to offer is gaslighting. Evading a confrontation has always been seen as counterplay in most games and even in military history. The great Sun Tzu regarded avoiding a battle as every bit as much a part of winning a war as having one.

But why did he not just call the enemy gankers and demand that they play by his rules?
Screaming and ranting till he got his way?

So silly. The Spice trade MUST go on!

Gaslighting is pretending that there’s counterplay.

Ganking is cheap and easy to commit, while being very profitable.

Gankers can sit on gates with an inexpensive scanner, cherry picking juicy targets 24/7.

There’s no honor in it.

Well that is what her opponent said, with a smug, superior look on his face. She had a think about it , then showed him who is boss.

I need only have level 1 Gaslighting Deflector skill to deflect that one.

No consequence to ganking means, no counterplay.

How is that joyful?

Lol…yet more gaslighting. And I’m sure I’ve heard this exact same ‘no consequence’ phrase from one of our previous resident trolls.

I mean like…losing one’s Catalyst, ending up losing security status, and having to spend 40m ISK on clone tags, plus a 6m ISK ‘Concord Fee’, is ‘no consequence’ only in the mind of the somewhat deluded.

And the freighter pilot lost 10b?

Totally fair counterplay :rofl::rofl::rofl:

No-one’s forcing him to fly 10bn worth in one haul. Sheesh, I mean the one that Aiko and 48 others ganked last week, the ship was 7bn and the cargo was 2bn, and 90% of that cargo would have fitted inside a Praxis. I took over 1bn worth of stuff to Jita on the same day…in a Praxis. Only a fool risks 7bn to carry 2bn and loses both.

Part of the cargo loss was ships…that individually could have safely flow through Uedama. The irony !

Just one of countless examples.

You’re either daft or trolling.

Neither are flattering.
