The trouble is that Lucas tries to re-define everything until he is ‘right’. So he re-defines AG as solely the act of going pew pew at gankers. Never mind the deterrence factor of folks such as myself patrolling the asteroid belts to protect miners…which I do now and then. Never mind the use of bait mining ships ( which I have used ), the use of intel, the existence of big mining fleets with inherently more protection, the existence of spies within the ganker corps, or any of the 1001 other ways that ganking is countered.
Ganking is pretty easy to avoid. As others have said, it takes situational awareness.
Avoiding a gank is the best counter play to ganking. Get to know your gankers. Watch for them. Keep an eye on d-scanner.
This right here exposes your utter ignorance of actual ganking
Yennoe, you gotta realize brosef, everyone knows ye know. We know you don’t what you’re talking about. We’re just joshing with you
Again, exposes your lack of PvP knowledge
Tons of it. Listed in this thread too
Which you are attempting to derail so how about you lend some tips for the AG crowd from your vast wisdom
Maybe that super cloaky, super tanky mystery fit hm?
I want to be an AG. I’m ready to fail epically on a daily basis. Where do I sign up?
Ew. No one uses kid anymore bruv.
Please google more up to date terms
Hey Gith, how does it feel to be trolled by Drac’s alt? And all that time you spent defending him too.
It’s rough man. However, I would advise you to keep AGing when you can.
However, you really do need to develop your AG gank squad. It’s the best way really.
Is Lucas Kell really Dracvlad? That is crazy!
Its a working theory
Authenticity goes a really long way. It shows integrity and respect for the community at large.
Habitual alt users think they are so clever. But people figure it out. And it really goes to show how much disdain, and how stupid they think the community is. Then they wonder why no one takes them seriously. So they make more alts to sock puppet themselves. It’s a vicious cycle.
Well, I still follow the ole C&P code
I think that’s before my time. But given the context I think I can figure it out.
“I’m going to be me. And if you don’t like it, you can take a hike, or meet me at the sun.”
That and the rule before to posting in C&P was to use your main
I fully support this.
CCP, bring this back.
How did that work though? How can CCP knows which of the three chars on your account is your main? Or which char from your 20 linked accounts to your email?
Earliest created char on earliest created account? Most played char? IP-based? What about players with shared IP?
This can’t work with alphas as one can create a new alpha account on a diffenet email address anytime. And if you restrict discussion to alphas well I won’t be allowed there then.
(btw I am also posting from an alt.)
It wasn’t CCP. It was an agreement between the posters.
Like you could alt post, but you weren’t taken seriously at all.
You mean to say all the posters agreed on this together? Or was there some kind of referendum and the majority rules were implemented? Or perhaps a few people on the forum decided that was how it should be and wouldn’t shut up about how it should be till everyone towed the line? Because that last strategy reminds me of the ‘cancel ganking’ strategy.
“But who cares about authenticity and the community when I can shove my agenda on everyone else”.
The toxic shadow I’ve gained for railing against forum alts is one that doesn’t go away when the sun fades for the day.
Why though?
Was chatting about that last night, it’s all ready to gank, so time to act.
I started posting on forums with this alt for security reasons. I didn’t want anyone from forum to spectate me, see what I am doing (at that time I was bashing mostly abandoned structures in highsec + ganking miners) and abuse that.
Maybe it is paranoid, it seems that most active posters can’t even check killboard even if you give them name of your alt, which is Honzas Krutas, well whole corp is just me myself and all my chars are alpha right now. And neither are gankers harassing carebears who are demanding ganking to be removed from game, so probably needless.
Nevertheless, when I get back this year after almost 3 year break and I did no longer worried about any of this I still decided to use this alt because he is or was known and has a history here on forum (that nobody checks anyway but w/e). So thats it.
Pretty much. It was a sacred rule to post with your main on C&P once upon a time. Because if you’re gonna talk mess, you shouldn’t be afraid of the antimatter coming your way
Sadly we live in shallower times now.
