Well, throughout the years I offered many ideas to you and your friends:

- gank all tornados using T1 Thrashers, loot all and demand permits
- demand payment for anybody who gets saved and if they don’t pay the fee then gank them
- keep pulling CONCORD to the gates, over and over
- cargo scan everybody hauling catalysts and gank stuff, gank them later
- gank all miners who use mining permits
- bash stations
- etc

The game has enough mechanics, but my ideas were always received with comments like:

- we don’t want to charge ISK
- that’s moraly wrong
- you smell like a ganker
- you talk like a ganker
- i don’t like that playstyle
- that’s even worse than CODE

Also I got accused of being an @Aiko_Danuja alt many dozens of times through the years over and over just because I was offering feisty ideas about how antiganking should be done.

This is absolute nonsense. You don’t even have to kill me. All you have to do is click on my ship. If you point me, faction police will kill me. If I shoot at you, all you have to do is survive for a few seconds. CONCORD and gate guns will automatically kill me.

Antiganking is like bowling with bumpers in the gutter.

All correct ways 😃

Esp the CONCORD pulling to gates. It basically solves Uedama. I figured that out within a few days of coming back and solved ganking 😃

No, why would I want to bank the ganks?  
We need crimes in EVE and in any other game.

The gank is the only way the small players can punch up against the whales, gankers are the true Robin Hoods of EVE.  
If you are a noob you have to gank or join a low sec group, the whales are farming the ISK for 10-15 years, they have many dozens of powerful alts and they will crush you.

The whales want you to farm the ISK too, just because they will beat you in their own game.

I’ll never understand why anybody would want to waste their time, in real life, trying to protect people who are AFK in a video game and don’t even make minimal effort to protect themselves. At some point, you’ve really got to wonder why Githany Red doesn’t just join faction warfare and go play the game.

Protecting plex bots would be more exciting than antiganking.

1550 alpha for 1.4 mil… I can make it even cheaper.

The classic ganknado has 9950 ehp, so you need 7 Thrashers that will cost you 9.8 mil ISK… if you loot the Tornado and the Thrashers you will get all your ISK back and also win the ISK war.

You have enough people to do it, you always had.

Well, I am just saying it because I know nothing will happen.  
And I will also make a prophecy, Tornado gankers will come back from CONCORD stations to Jita.

I’ll finally bite. How can you ban them from doing something within game rules?

I only did it because of peer pressure (Aiko said she would like me if I “popped one”). Can I negotiate down to a 30-day suspension with a public apology?

Should their local law enforcement be notified as well? Seeing that they are anti-social psychopaths that revel in the suffering of others? And since the value of the ships destroyed in a gank can be equated to RL money via PLEX, they are literally vandalizing peoples personal property and should serve jail time because of this?

Simple. Make it against the rules, apply retroactively.

No. Banned.

Would probably turn up a lot of crimes so why not?

CCP should have people take a Myers-Briggs Rorschach MMPI exam when creating a new account, and if you are statistically gankotypal then you are permabanned proactively.
