I have stopped loads of ganks by just being there in HIC’s and making people too scared to loot scoop. Shows how little you know.

Though sometimes I trick them by not being in a HIC:

Sure, you’re free to define “success” however you like. But I’m still going to laugh at you if you define it as “my enemy accomplished their entire goal without any problems, but I got some killboard stats”.

> I have stopped loads of ganks by just being there in HIC’s and making people too scared to loot scoop. Shows how little you know.

That’s nice. So why not brag about that instead of the times where you failed but awarded yourself a participation trophy anyway? It’s almost like your successes are too rare to make a good list so you have to pad your stats with a bunch of irrelevant fluff.

It scooped up a pitiful amount of loot following his Tornado gank, and he did not know I had twin faction scrams.

[Tornado | Fessaer Kraer | Killmail | zKillboard](https://zkillboard.com/kill/80378994/) was the tornado.

So what, you consider it a success to be so pathetic that people are willing to openly display contempt for you? “LOOK AT ME, I SMEARED MYSELF WITH \*\*\*\*, YOU ARE SO TRIGGERED OVER IT”.

It is strange, the loot from Tornado is not in Impel. It is similar, but modules are different.

From this one, he scooped from his MTU before I think.

The player on this kilmail is a good example of an AG who made part of his ISK from bounties.

This one was an especially nice amount of bounty:

Pyerite is from this kill: [Iteron Mark V | Pitot Scudrunner | Killmail | zKillboard](https://zkillboard.com/kill/80378993/)

Does that mean that ganker managed to escape with another 300m of loot, but then failed fantastically?

The other AG got that loot.

Thanks, I understand what you mean, but that doesn’t really describe me well. I’ve never felt frustrated about this, not even after having been banned from the AG channels. It was always clear to me what I was dealing with there. Also, I don’t care that people unwilling to learn keep being ignorant and repeating the same mistakes again and again. I only care that they have the _opportunity_ to learn _if_ they’re willing to.

The reason I’m hostile to that kind of people is not that I want to force them to change, nor do I feel frustrated by they refusing to change. The reason I’m hostile to them is the misinformation they spread and the bad influence they’re on _others_ that might actually be willing to learn…

This is why I would never turn to the dark side out of frustration, like it happened to others, or as a result of having been banned from AG channels. I’ll simply keep doing what I enjoy doing.

I have to say that I’m enjoying ganking these miners a lot, though. Like Karak said in another post, it doesn’t feel repetitive at all, at least for now. All that crap about it being F1 monkeying is utter nonsense. There always happens something funny, interesting, or unexpected, at least for now, like a miner that has no idea he’s about to be ganked, but somehow manages to not be there when you’re about to get him, or one that tells you to go away while you’re scanning his fit because he doesn’t trust you, then feels safe when you’re no longer there, completely unaware that you went away only to come back with the cats to get him.

It’s addictive. If you check the KB of my guys, you’ll see that I don’t feel my EvE day has been complete until I’ve ganked at least 1 SICO. 😈

So you are a ganker, just as I thought.

Here is the difference between you and I:

You:

This is not how you do it, you ain’t doing anything, they are just laughing at you. You should do what I do.

Me:

Good, but perhaps if you did this you would have more of an impact.

I happen to believe that you did it because you wanted to tell everyone how good you are as part of your need to be seen as superior or that you wanted to drive new people away, I suspect that you could be a Ganker alt, though I am not certain of this, but you sure as hell look like one to me.

I am glad you are no longer in AG so we can recruit people and develop them without your sneering arrogance and need to put others down getting in the way, no matter if it was your own personal issues or that you were doing this deliberately.

You can do what you want as much as you want, but I reckon you will soon get bored being unable to tell people just how good you are, because your reputation in the game and the forum matters to you, you said it above. Just like Dum Dum…

I’m after them because it is content and because I have the opportunity to team up with @Knowledgeminer and gank 😂 . I have no other reason. I also only team up if I have a close exit anyway.

I missed this.

Actually it is a part of their income, they would often do something else that created ISK then do some anti-player content, AG is PvP and take some income from it.

ROFLMAO. You have absolutely no capability to “impinge on my reputation” (or anyone else’s for that matter) for the simple reason that you have absolutely no credibility. The hate you get is the result of the crappy personality you have, not any effect you may have on anyone’s reputation other than your own, LOL.

If you want to work out who are the players that have done and will continue doing so much damage to the AG channel, you have to look no further than yourself and others like you there.

Now, if what you want to “work out” is who _I_ am, I’ll help you with that. I’m James 315, Tora Bushido, Dom Arkaral, and a lot more I cannot remember atm, but that I’m sure you’ll find out soon.

You’re not wrong. You’re as right as you were when you started a whole [Knowledgeminer Vs Dracvlad thread](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/knowledgeminer-vs-dracvlad-thread/162029/101) to claim I was Tora Bushido and don’t remember who else.

Exactly, ‘back’ being the right word to describe it. Very insightful of you.

It’s not that the game mechanics _appear_ to be in favour of the gankers. It’s that they _are_ heavily in favour of the gankers, and now that I’m not there, you’ll be able to tell that to everybody coming to that channel without anyone telling you the ■■■■■■■ losers you are for whining about those game mechanics non-stop and asking for one more nerf, when you could be learning to take advantage of them instead…

The biggest difference between you and me is that I’m honest and you’re not…

This perfectly illustrates the stupidity and unwillingness to learn that used to be so generalised until I started to “annoy” people there.

Whether it would be appropriate to say that or not depends entirely on whether it’s actually true or not. Are you even able to understand how it being the truth or not makes all the difference? What’s wrong is trying to make someone believe he’s making a difference when the truth is that he isn’t…

And if the gankers are (rightfully) laughing at him because he’s doing silly things, you want him to know and be aware of what’s actually happening so he doesn’t keep doing the same silly things again and again. You’re doing a disservice to him by hiding from him the truth of what’s actually happening. The gankers aren’t going to stop laughing at him just because he’s unaware they are…

> [@Dracvlad](#):
>
> Good, but perhaps if you did this you would have more of an impact.

Again, what should matter here is the truth. Saying “good” there would be appropriate only if it was actually good. Otherwise you’re lying to make someone feel good about something he did wrong. That does **not** help him understand what he did wrong. Even if you tell him how to do it “better”, if everybody tells him what he did was “good”, he’s still not going to understand what was wrong and why…

> [@Dracvlad](#):
>
> I happen to believe that you did it because you wanted to tell everyone how good you are as part of your need to be seen as superior or that you wanted to drive new people away

Actually, it was both because I’m a narcissistic elitist that needs to belittle everyone else to feel superior, and because I wanted to drive away from AG as many people as I could. What other reasons could I have for trying to help people understand what they were doing wrong? I cannot think of any other possibility…

Stop suspecting already. You can be 100% certain I’m a ganker and have always been. What other explanation could there be for all the harm that I’ve been doing to AG throughout all this time? Also, I’m clearly “back” at it again, what other proof do you need that I have always been a ganker in disguise?
