I rather liked your comment about a save mail. Still it is fun to pull their leg on their inability to see saves, but I do appreciate people noticing Thotaman. That they did not notice Eskati was amusing.

If you can’t see saves, do they even exist?

Not to mention - feeding Aiko’s repeat narrative → “AG’s fail again”. I always wondered about the source of this huff-and-puff while she amuses me with content that feeds my trolling.

Well, I can imagine attraction _could_ come from success. But success can only come through effort. So many people are serving the public by maintaining third-party websites, programming tools, running news-blogs or streams and of course they can’t satisfy _everyone_. There will always be complainers. But there are some basic duties tied to all of these activities, even gankers have to do their homework, else they won’t get kills/loot/salt.  
And from a “law enforcement organization” I would _at least_ expect up-to-date “most wanted” lists (aka “set-red-lists”), useful service links for capsuleers who want to protect themselves and regular field activity, at least _trying_ to disrupt some ganker’s camps.

@Githany_Red

There is a way for you to provide evidence of your adventures in anti-ganking and any wins you may have.

Use OBS (open broadcast source) its an open source recording software that many twitch streamers use to record their gameplay. You don’t have to stream to Twitch, but directly to your hard-drive.

Then you can edit -or not- your footage and upload to google drive, or YouTube or whatever. That way you have you evidence in your back pocket ready to go. And it’s pretty easy to use.

Despite what Dracvlad says, anti-ganking _can_ leave evidence.

We regularly got the Goddess and Painter fleets to fail and log out , Kusion was a hard one to crack, but as we got better and more numbers even that egg crack , 3 ganks in a row he failed .

I’m sure others have made equal efforts in the past to me but I showed you can stand up to ganks , of course everybody was worried about the griefers and in the past if you said or did any type of anti-gank you would be war Dec or infiltrated , people were worried and sucked up to the gankers so they never became targets, many still today will not speak out . We often got “sorry I don’t want to get involved too much to lose.”

But we did get given billions of isk for our efforts and I could order any fleet of ships I needed within reason. To test out . Our Armageddon fleet stopped Talos fleets dead . Our edencom ships were great fun as are our t3 fleets. One guy even gave us 2 tornadoes for everyone we killed in jita without concord, so we have nados heaps of them  
Obviously gankers learn to adapted to any fleet we made.

Now thing’s have changed again , if gankers don’t gank as much then any counter it’s not viable for us

There did used to be a chat room that listed all the relevant corps and gave links to them. I’m not sure if it still exists. It wasn’t NEPF…just a list I saw provided in the Rookie Help channel some time ago.

The other method is to look on killboard for ganker activity in whatever systems one is visiting. That will also often highlight solo gankers.

And is there a reason such crucial information is hidden in obscurity? Why does NEPF not provide a Topic with such a list, frequently updated, here at the boards for new players to find?
