While most people seem do deserve your statements, you love bashing them way too much. How is it so hard to just ignore those inferior to you, laugh about them in private and that's it. In the depth of his heart Kwark cares. He does not express it in the most restrained way but he could also just ignore people. | ||

All this went above the head of the stranger whose complete lack of understanding spawned indignation. Rising to his feet he declared to the room at large "if you're going to be so rude then I won't join your club, nor will I let you car pool with me in my Fiat Panda. More fool you, I got it second hand with interest free credit and I'll have it paid off in four years". Again the room falls into stunned silence. Each and every one of them is a highly educated, highly affluent professional, all individually capable of sustaining their own life of luxury while membership of the club grants them access to the privileges of obscene wealth, access to vast amounts of easy credit, insider trading information, cheap access to goods and expert knowledge on every field. Stockbrokers, lawyers, hedge fund managers, directors in large multinationals, politicians and master thieves share a collective sigh. The stranger seizes the moment and steps up his assault crying "and I see not one of you is wearing a chunky 12ct gold chain around your neck, can't you afford one?!?". BBQ is the first to react, admitting the collective failings of the group in their effort to between them achieve a single gold chain. The man had a point, not one gold chain between them. His dry wit was lost on the stranger who again tried to seize the initiative. Assured that his point was made he asked when his membership card would arrive so he could be a part of the group. Finally the chairman has had enough and explains to the realities of the situation to the stranger. That his approach was both disrespectful and idiotic, that he interrupted a conversation between people detailing their activities that night to ask if anyone was there, that he ignored the work and effort put in by members to help people such as himself, that he acted as thought he instructions in the OP did not apply to himself and instead approached a group of his betters like a spoiled child claiming an entitlement. That his offer to car pool did not make him special to a group with access to private jets and that he was a supplicant and an outsider whose arrogance was both misplaced and unwelcome. The stranger paused as he attempted to process the verbal assault. The collective group waited breathless to see his response to the explanation of his place in their house. Several minutes passed as the man stared aimlessly into the distance, his lips silently mouthing words as his brain struggled to process this new information. However the task proved too difficult and his brain rebooted itself, seizing a fact it was familiar with and uttering it with renewed certainty. His back straightened and he announced to the room "I have a car!". The room responded with silence as the group collectively rolled their eyes. It was clear he didn't, or rather couldn't, understand. Sensing his words may not have had the intended effect the stranger continued stating "I moved out of my parent's house and I've fed myself for over three years!". As he looked around the dimly lit room he noticed a lack of awe in the faces of the assembled men. He didn't notice that many of them were considerably older than him, nor that all of them were in expensive fitted suits and brand name accessories. The fact that several of them shared surnames with large multinationals was lost on him. Having not deigned to read the description, ethos or rules of the club before inviting himself he was completely unaware of his faux pas, twice a victim of his own arrogant assumptions. However he was beginning to notice the hostility with which several of the members responded to his claims. Unable to comprehend his error he couldn't possibly understand its cause and, suddenly feeling defensive, he withdrew. | ||

 How I miss the small fleet roams from back in the days in lowsec with Revo and Vil 0.0 warfare bored me to death, just stupid muscle showing with huge blobs and mind numbingly boring POS bashing made me quit. I want the fun back in Eve and I'm more than willing to learn the gripes again, even If it's the hard way with harsh teachers^^ and even if it means going back to the rifter =) . The fun blowing up larger and much more expensive fleets and laught at their fail is so worth it Landrya ingame btw. | ||

And by all means, please do not feel like you have to explain yourself to a stranger. I just hate anonymous rudeness on the internet as you hate people not getting the game you play or enjoying the same things in the game you play. We just both have the urge to tell other people of their faults Again, at least your posts are mostly entertaining | ||

I read this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=23217 tl;dr, someone got suicide ganked in an untanked t1 hauler and dropped 4B worth of plex in jita. This person put a 4B bounty on the guy who SGed him. Now, its easy to fake killmails, Ive done it before, but the contractor demanded API verification! What to do, what to do. Aha! We run our own killboard! After asking the admin, he agreed to flag whatever kills I wanted as API verified. So I then contacted the mark, and negotiated him into paying out the entire worth of the ship, instead of only isk destroyed. He agreed. I also told him that Galen Oskold (the "target") does ninjaing, and I would use this to bait him. I then got him to probe down my highsec macha pilot, who killed him. http://hatchery.me/kills/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1953 Except that alt has absolutely nothing trained. The mark was very pleased with my kill, and after looking at the mail, asked me to verify it on battleclinic. Oh no, I am undone! Or the mark is a very special kind of stupid. I made up a conspiracy theory. I am really not comfortable giving my API to battleclinic. The site is run by people who play the game, and there have been issues with them using their website to their advantage. The killboard I linked is a standard killboard package, same as what PL and most major alliances use, and it interfaces with the API just as well (or better) than battleclinic. Afaik, it doesnt even have any options to modify the mails - if its verified by the API, there isnt much to do to change that. He accepted this argument and paid me 1.5B A few weeks later, I went and made another killmail. This one I fucked up a few times, since the T3s are a bit more complicated, but the killboard admin deleted my first attempts. http://hatchery.me/kills/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2413 I mailed the mark again, and after a bit of a delay, he sent me 3 plexes as payment. The delay was because I had told him there were tears, which he wanted, so I had to fake them. The contract against the suicide ganker is now completed, with me taking about 3.7B of the 4B total.
