I’ve ganked someone once. It was because he was being a jackass and I was getting sick of his bs. It didn’t do anything, but it felt good. ---

Oh he was. General superiority complex, liked talking about himself in a somewhat elevated manner, etc. The usual stuff. He’s gone now, as it turns out being an asshole to everyone around you does not endear you to the general population of EVE. ---

> [@milkyway\_miner](#): > > but your defntion of gank is diffrent then mine And that’s the problem with making your own definition of a word that has a distinct meaning in Eve. You can define it however you want, but you can’t then expect a common sense discussion about it with everyone else. If you go into rookie chat and say “ How can I prevent being ganked?”, you will get a lot of answers about tanking your mining ship, setting the appropriate overview, different warp points etc. If you then say “ that won’t help my Heron survive in a WH” because that’s what YOU define as a gank, you will then have both wasted everyone’s time AND still not gotten the information you need, simply because you framed the conversation poorly. ---

No, I honestly don’t know what that sentence means. I have no idea what idea you are trying to express. And on second thought, yeah I am gonna get ‘caught up on that’. You are using a written medium, at least try to speak like a coherent adult.
