Which type is valid is determined by whether players want to play what /is/ or what /could be/.
Same as getting married. Choose the husband who is the man you want to marry today. Trying to change him into the man you want after the fact doesn’t usually end well.
Thanks, you elaborated more eloquently than I could. It just takes some people a long time to see the game for what it truly is. Hence i like ganking because it lessens the deception time and is more truthful and respectful of people’s gameplay time up front.
If people get to the point they have to lose a blingy Marauder in high sec to gankers before having their eyes opened and wanting to quit, it sucks for them. They spent a lot of time playing a game they didn’t really like in the first place.
My wife just said she married an asshole and I’m still an asshole! 
Wise words.
And can someone tell her about sisi so she can practice?
You monster you want to ruin the ISK/h efficiency by not mining on the real server? 
what?
Just a joke about him suggesting the test server (sisi) and the fact a lot of miners are so into mining efficiency that any minute of not mining on the main server would feel to them as a loss.
Just so you’re aware, I have just finished an ancient voodoo curse that will turn every new generation of your family into red heads. Take that, murderer.
It kinda worked… I married a redhead. 
Can confirm it is super-effective and must be working retroactively. My granddaughter is ginger.
Never underestimate the power of an angry miner. This is your first free lesson. The next one will cost at least 3 million isk.
Having a sense of humor seems to get you further than anything else in the game. 
Well now I feel like a super douche. Thank you for your donation.
This statement eared you that isk.
This, right here. A sense of humor goes really far in this game.
I keep typing jokes into local but it doesnt seem to speed up my training any.
They are part of the supply chain for combat…which makes them a valid target even under Article 52 of the Geneva Convention.
7 or 8 months ago I was in the same position as Tessa and arguing the same things. I think it can take time to ‘get’ Eve…at which point I did a complete U turn and came to see that ganking is essential to the game. Highsec would also be an utterly boring place without the risk of ganking. I think in time Tessa will have that same moment of epiphany.
But what is the game she will inherit is the next question?
When will Cilly start ganking miners?
