Do you like poetry? I hope so… the following events inspired me to write a haiku that I’ve titled, “The Fools Errand”. Please be gentle, I’m a new poet! **The Fools Errand** Anti-Gankers, ha! They fail everyday, ha ha! What sad gameplay, ha! So on to the meat of this post with our anti-ganker, Somal Thunder. He successfully ganked a thrasher belonging to a Jita ganker. > **[Thrasher | MacGybo | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/97904001/)** > > MacGybo (Sapphire And Steel) lost their Thrasher in Jita (The Forge). Final Blow by Lazarus Sharp (I'm Sorry Shoot What?) flying in a Thrasher. Total Value: 24,835,375.21 ISK Somal, being the anti-ganking bully he is had a 5m isk kill right placed upon him by MacGybo. This is the great part… Somal Thunder undocks from Jita 4-4 and warps to his rapier alt at an insta-undock, but not before our hero scout is able to get a scan off on him. What he sees is a freighter carrying 6.7b with a 5m isk kill right. Alarm bells are sounded and the chase is on! Killright is activated and the freighter tackled before the rapier could web him into warp. The anti-ganker refuses negotiations and is swiftly put down. > **[Fenrir | Somal Thunder | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/98134996/)** > > Somal Thunder (V0LTA) lost their Fenrir in Muvolailen (The Citadel). Final Blow by Rob Locksley (The Vendetta Mercenaries) flying in a Hecate. Total Value: 10,031,751,476.57 ISK This folks right here is why it doesn’t pay to anti-gank! Let this serve as a cautionary tale to any who would dare get in the way of any ganker trying to positively influence player retention! ---

An elite PvP alliance member shoots a ganker for some reason, perhaps he wanted to try his hand at AG, who knows. He makes an error that many people do by not checking for killrights or clearing it before heading out in a freighter. Giving an easy kill opportunity. > [@Faylee\_Freir](#): > > This folks right here is why it doesn’t pay to anti-gank! Let this serve as a cautionary tale to any who would dare get in the way of any ganker trying to positively influence player retention! All you have shown with this is one of the reasons why people don’t AG due to this type of event, they have to have specific characters for this. It was why AG took a long time to gank wrecks for example. Still made me laugh calling him an AG, and the loss itself, what a clusterfeck… I am a great fan of the butterfly effect, therefore I will see if my contacts that used to be in that alliance are still alive and kicking and draw their attention to this gloat thread. I am damn sure that they will not be bothered by the killmail, but who knows what they will think of the gloat post, though like the loss will likely laugh it off as irrelevant. ---

This is why ya’ll fail. You fail at story telling, and just aren’t very likable. If I chose to do it, I’d be the greatest AGer in the history of EVE. But that’d mean associating with you rabble ☹ Although Thotamon is cool 😃 ---

Ooh I like a good poetry slam! Anti-gankers fly through systems Looking for a fleet to kill But often find they can’t resist them; The gankers who exert their will Upon high sec. So all miners Flying without valid permit Will often find they need a Venture, Because their Proc is now a wreck. Anti-ganker! Please fight and stop them! Fire away at those pirates Who stop us stealing all the space gems And making AFK profits! But no, the anti-ganker cannot. On the forums, someone’s wrong! Quick! Say they alt post or misinterpret Anything you can’t deflect. For why fight gankers in a system When public posting garners fame? Who even looks at kill boards? After all, it’s just a game. ---
