Aiko statue will not be a plebstar.

It will be gilded fiery kernite, a hundred thousand Jitas in height.

Nope, it will be built on a three tiered pedastal filled with the whiny tears of the antigankers, crying endlessly about the mean words Aiko said years ago, gnashing their teeth in eternal torment, and their combined failures will generate an invulnerability shield which keeps the statue safe for all time.

I don’t know her well at all, I’m just a pleb, not part of her world but except maybe at the working end of her Death Rayguns. I read her here and on blog, laughs guaranteed.

She’s charismatic and enigmatic, it’s useful in EVE. I’ll run into some Gankers I’m sure. I hope they don’t pod me before I have a chance to say ‘hello’.

I sort of think that GR is sort of like me by stating to Capsuleers that when it becomes a topic of betrayal we both won’t ever side against Aiko!

I cry and make tictoks with real tears expressing how hurtful and how real the pain is when someone calls me those names.

But secretly it’s just to emotionally manipulate people into feeling sorry for me and give me likes.

I actually invited Githy to come gank, so she could see that gankers are just people playing a video game, but I guess that would shatter the illusion that gankers are a bunch of trolls and griefers.

It blows me away that she keeps rejecting the invite.

Yes you did and I appreciate the invite and I know you are just playing a game as am I .

I just don’t want to gank any random person, now if it was a bot farmer it might be different, but you only find them out of luck , where other groups actually do look for them

Ok, but what about ganking a specific person?

For example, a miner in a belt (or out of a belt)?

Anti-gankers are the lowest form of capsuleers in my opinion. They don’t contribute to anything meaningful to New Eden. All they do is apply miniscule amounts of damage while concord does all the heavy lifting. Then boast about killing dangerous criminals. Even though the target they tried to save died in the process.

The irony of it all is that the gankers have already calculated and accepted this outcome even before the first shot is fired. Yet despite getting a killmail handed to them on a plate and having a deluded view of self importance, they always come across as being extremely bitter and salty individuals.

In my view they are a class of capsuleer lower than that of a your typical bot aspirant miner. At least the miner stands for something and contributes to the economy. The anti-gankers stand for noting and just waste everybody’s time, including their own.

Yes, because absolutes like “always” Inherently make the statement true.

Like it always rains in Seattle.

And as we all know, Seattle never ever sees a sunny day, because it’s always raining….

Edit:

Besides how can antigankers be bitter and salty, do they even exist?

Except from Thotamon in his Osprey, I have never seen any true and dedicated “Antiganker” in the game. Most people I have seen only tried to interfere here and then when they were bored, more to mess up some ganker’s plans than to “stop ganking” as a mission.

There is only one that I happen to know of and I only enjoy the background trashy lights of flickering on my monitor to my left.

Though I do not support that twitch steam,I do use it to sneak past those systems going unnoticed.

Don’t you think thats just a business model rather than some “anti-ganking” missioning? I mean, he is probably collecting some donation money from the streams ISK or TwitchBits or whatever and the accounts can be paid easily by running a couple of jobs on them, be it PI, Reactions or Industry. Or extracting the SP…

But, if you like call that guy an “Antiganker” too… so we have… two of them?

A summary of Aunty Aiko’s post to save your boredom:

> “I’m a tag pimp. I hand in tags so I’m not a wanted pirate that gets caught by the slap brigade. Concord is my best friend too. I just grief better than a Retriever pilot.”

> “The anti-ganker narrative. Without a storyline enemy - I’m irrelevant. So, I invent a plot → others care about some rando’s ship - they try to defend it against my superiority - and then lose because the victim’s ship pops. Behold my royal greatness. Being a fleet F1 insta-monk needs recognition too.”

> “Role Players are IRL failures. But, I peddle my Princess and James stories all day with nauseating blah-blah. Image is everything. So, don’t steal my thunder, I own all RP graffiti in New Eden.”

You’re welcome…
