I did wave at Aaaaargh in local the other day, I thought he would have told Aiko? Aiko is hardly playing, only 35 kills… Interesting was checking her killboard and saw a BC being ganked which is interesting as a player said about BC’s getting ganked and a ganker said that they did not gank BC’s. very interesting indeed… ---

I like gankers, they remind people that you can be killed everywhere. That applies to them too. They fly predictable fits, often without any tank. I just watched a vid the other day of one of the ganker freighters being ganked. I thought that was hilarious. Would be nice to do away with sec status entirely or make it a dynamic player influenced system. Shame the game is hardcoded the way it is. ---

Indeed it’s hilarious , we have killed quite a few ganker freighter in the past , the salt is insane , sometimes we got complete silence and a log off , then you knew they had taken it badly. ---

It wasn’t that long ago , and I seem to remember you claiming it wasn’t your freighter in local , admittedly your gank succeeded but we wanted your looter . Which we got a number of times , now not so much as you use a DST and use the fleet hanger mechanic , you know that dodgy mechanic that’s almost an exploit.🙂 ---

I have to disagree with your definition of ‘carebear’ over the years I’ve seen it used against so many playstyles that it really just boils down to “another player who prefers to play in a way that I don’t” ---

Hate to break it to you but gankers distort pixel reality to fit their ‘dimension of reality’ as well sometimes. I’ve actually congratulated gankers before only to be met with accusations of providing them tears? How is, “damn…that was good…congrats” a form of tears? I could almost imagine them on the other end going, “HAH!!! OH MY GOD…LOOK!!! he said words!!! TEARS!!!” ---

> [@Kill\_Piggy](#): > > “another player who prefers to play in a way that I don’t” …hence the useful contraction, ‘carebear’. No one wants to type out all that other stuff in a sub-forum post.
