Thank Those Who Gank

Welcome denizens of New Eden. I come before you today with a message.

Thank Those Who Gank. Simple. Elegant. And most of all, correct.

“Gankers” as they called now in the nomenclature of our time, are essential to life in New Eden. They grease the wheels of our economy, keep us sharp and most importantly, provide the best education.

In my travels through our universe, I’ve encountered so many that do not understand the basic tenets of our universe.

Death is a friend that always finds you, and when He does, it is your fault.

Each death brings a lesson. There are those of you who use the paper tiger that death too early will scare away pilots from choosing the life of a capsuleer.

You could not be more wrong.

A new capusleer must learn that death is a constant companion. Not to be feared, but embraced. And if you want to escape it’s embrace, you must learn.

So always check your scanner. Check your comms. Check your starmap.

Finally, if you want these pilots to stop? Stop them yourselves. Stop crying to false gods to save you.

Save yourself or not at all.

Isn’t it pronounced like Aye-KO where “Aye” the same as in “Aye, aye captain!”? :thinking:

It doesn’t matter anymore, sorry for no being available for further comment.

I thought ganking was supposed to be a thankless task. The loot you take and the thrill of the kill should be thanks enough. Are gankers suffering from loneliness and rejection? Do they long for the peaceful life of a miner? Are they trapped in their job by their cruel masters? Why do they so desperately need the emotional support of miners? Miners are usually so happy… with the exception of those few alliances that get territorial in high sec. Are gankers unhappy?

A Gank a day keeps the Prey away

Gankers are the unsung heroes of EVE.
