That’s not how the term is used in EVE, that is how it is used in general gaming / other MMOs. I have already called your attention to this fact multiple times. You are just too stubborn. 🤔 ---

I think his stubbornness and unwillingness to adapt to the _word_ ‘gank’ could be the cause of similar adaptation issues with the _act_ ‘gank’. ---

Not true. Ganks in null are talked about frequently. Who hasn’t ganked a Roqual ? I mean yeah you could drop a Titan on it but Ganking with a fleet of BS is so much more fun. ---

Usually we call that a ‘drop’. I.e. “Have you seem that group that dropped on a Rorqual last night?” Calling it a gank would be confusing as this suggests it took place in HS, where Rorquals are not allowed. ---

If 1982 is indicative of your age you’re not that much older than I am. The only reason I haven’t played EVE since the start is that I found other games first. ---

I’ve read the book 1984, but not 1982 and neither do I know your alt names so I had little reason to expect it to be a book reference. Logic isn’t your strongest point, is it? ---

> [@Lucy\_Alfrir](#): > > But we are not talking about ‘video games’ we are talking about EvE Online, where the meaning of ganking has been subtly altered. One of the most common tactics of contrarians is ‘argument ad dictionarium’…where they’ll ~~waste~~ spend an entire thread nit picking the exact meaning of a word…and its all really a form of straw man and often a last resort when they can’t ‘win’ an argument any other way. ---

A little off topic I know but whoever classified that movie as suitable for children to watch most likely invested lots of money into medical facilities that provided therepy of teen agers in the 1990’s. Don’t even get me started on return to Oz or never ending story ! ---

> [@kage1982](#): > > Back on subject though, Well…no…you _aren’t_ back on topic, because the original topic was the _hypocrisy_ of miners mining the very ore that makes the ships that gank them. Given that 90% of the ships in EVE are combat ships…every miner is mining the ore for PvP. Miners are not mining fluffy bunnies in space. There are mining ore and gas. The very materials that make the very ships that do the pew pew. Ganking is thus karma ! ---
