How does one of your “failed ganks” or whatever amount to 10 times someone’s entire career in EvE? In what way(s)?

Back up the thread a bit he was calling me failed ganker - but the dozen or so ganks I’ve actually bothered doing were all in the 4-7.5bn ISK range each - his total kills are 700m.

It is a petty point - but he started it so…

As an aside only one gank I’ve attempted failed - I can’t remember what happened now though but his Tengu survived in half shields ☹

Its almost like.. you were in a large group of ships. Like a blob. Like an F1 nullbear monkey.

This is definitely F1 monkeying but it ain’t no null bearing…

You don’t seem to remember much about those days, during which you did half a dozen ganks (not even enough for actual gankers to consider you a ganker). It takes a kind of narcissistic hubris to save screenshots of long forgotten glory days, claiming insight into a game you barely played a decade ago.

I mean, did you ever even go negative security status?

Oh, right, you only did a half dozen ganks.

You had a point in there? all I saw was some saltiness about something - I can only assume you are still sore about some kind of interaction from back when I did play proper.

The lengths you are going to and the level of butt hurt the only thing which makes sense I must have relieved you of a ship at some point and you are _still_ sore about it.

Maybe that was your POS and Archon?
