so basically you 'suddenly' developed a conscience because you learned something 'personal' about this guy and then felt compassion or empathy? and now you want to boost your ego/feeling of well-being by spurting your ego-juice over the forum?

What about the countless other people you 'grief' Don't you think they have a story aswell? :) or maybe they deserve it?

I just find it interesting that you chose to be selective in your 'good deed'

Maybe you should convo everyone you Salvage (Edit: Steal from) and find out a bit about them?

reaks of double standards to me...just saying

---

U mad bro? On a more serious note I'm getting the distinct impression you do not approve of ninja looters and have perhaps been visited by a few. This would seem to be your real issue here, and not anything to do with double standards. Perhaps you should take a deep breath and go outside for a while.

Also have you considered that perhaps the secondary purpose of this players thread is a subtle reminder to other ninjas that the people they are "salvaging" from are also people? With real lives and feelings, and that perhaps just once in a while a little more care should be taken? Of course not, you would not consider that for a moment would you, since you are too busy clearly being angry.

EDIT: For poor grammar. I know it still sucks but not as much as it did.

So, the other day, I was ninja salvaging. I found a lvl3 mission in amarr space (not bad I guess) being done by a hurricane. So I warp in, start salvaging, and eagerly awaiting the tears that normally fallow.

The guy convos me, and asks a few questions. How'd I find him (kinda new i guess, didn't know much about scanning), he said "So you come in and steel peoples loot? That's what you do?" To wich I replied "Hell yea, it's a blast"....man i wanted some tears, i was so close I could taste em. But then he was like "LOL Whatev, it's all good."

Jumping to the important part, after about 10 minets of chatting with the guy, I learned that he is an American soldier stationed in Iraq. Now, I'm American, and while I'm not fond of the War my governmnet has involved us in, I have family and friends over seas fighting and risking their lives. I have nothing but respect and love for the soldiers caught in this political heist.

My heart kinda sank when I realized I was greifing a guy who had been part of a RL convoy that got shelled the other day. So, I told him that if anyone should be having fun and relaxing in this game, then it should be him...God knows he probably needs it.

I prompty returned all the slavage I had taken from him, and then got my Pew Pew ship and helped with his mission.

Just wanted to share that with you all. I hope that soldier is safe and makes it home.

Wait...

Is this a stealth "nerf ninja-salvaging" thread?

ninja-salvaging isn't griefing.

Sigh...No im not mad at all, sorry to dissapoint you. No i don't really care too much for ninja stealing but hey the game mechanics allow it so i don't grumble. Tell me where did i complain in my post about that? Try not to assume so much or read between the lines because inevitably you will get it wrong.

Clearly if you could read or perhaps comprehend, then my 'issue' is with the attitude and nature of the OP. Your assumptions only serve to make you appear less intelligent than you obviously are and your (smells of alt) attempt to redeem the honour of the OP fails im afraid.

Pathetic Ninja says it all :)

LMAO holy crap did this escillated beyond it's original purpose. Let me clear a few things up, in order of reply:

Akita and Aeronwen, ty for the 07, I think you two are the only ones who actualy understood the sentemintal moment I had for people who are risking their lives for the rest of us...it had nothing to do w/ the game.

Anti Castro: Not as pathetic as your avatar, OMG when creating it did you stop mid-way and beat the hell out of him/her (can't tell) with an ugly stick? If Rupal and Dennis Rodmin had a baby together, it would look like your avatar. (trol vs trol, mine is stronger then yours)

Aisha Kropotkin: lol awesome vid...I'm pretty sure I'm in there.

Cipher7: as if everything in either black or white, welcome to reality, there's alot of grey.

Mister Rocknrolla: No, this isn't a stealth nerf the ninja thread...I love ninja'ing, its one of my favorite things to do.

Tina: Troll's remorse...hmm. TO be honest, I felt for the guy, becuase my older brother is in Afghanastan right now. I love him and miss him very much, and it just reminded me of him. He is my personal Hero, and every day I pray he comes home safe.

In general I don't see it as greifing, but admint it, Ninja Salvaging ****es some people off. It's part of the game, and its fun.



TO everyone:

This thread wans't about changing a game mechanic, or any kind of conflicting conspiracy of morals. If you can't figure out why I posted it, then you are clearly missing something and need to take a break for RL.

Double standards are GOOD. Screw people who never use double standards. They're not even sociopaths.

The way I see it is that ninja salvaging is a part of the game--ccp has said so and so that's the way it is. Deal with it using the tools of the game. Best thing to do is to follow the good advice given by others to avoid having it happen to you in the first place, but if does happen, then first, don't give the ninja what he probably wants most--in the OP's words, "man i wanted some tears, i was so close I could taste em." Take that satisfaction away from him--do that, and you've just taken away a chunk of his fun right there. Shrug your shoulders and tell him, "Oh well...you got me this time." Laugh about it and then diddy-bop on your way. But first be sure to put him in your contacts folder--you know what they say about paybacks and revenge being a dish best served cold--he got you today, you'll get him tomorrow or next week or next month. Patience is a virtue...

Ninja looting is, in my opinion, one of the lesser crimes of EVE. Far less nefarious than can baiting n00bs. In fact, considering how much wreckage is left by players who fail to turn it blue before leaving the system, looting wrecks is darn near a public service for cleanliness.

At any rate, more on topic, that was a nice gesture. I think some people forget that there are real people behind these avatars trying to have fun in EVE just like you. But really ninja salvaging is a small crime in comparison to the lengths people will go to in EVE to grief someone.

I'm not trolling, I genuinely believe people like you that rely on the notion of upsetting someone else and giggling like the 13 year old you probably are when you 'steal' some loots like its hardcore gameplay are the pathetic bottomfeeders of eve. What an utterly lame way to play. You are a joke.

---

LMAO, you just made my trophy wall. Man, I can only imagine what kind of tears you'd spew if I where to ever ninja salvage you in game. I hope one day we meet in your mission system. Look for me, I'll be the one in the t1 frig with a weird white beam coming out of it, hitting your loot.

And yes, what he did was a nice gesture. This is just a game played by real people (well...except for the bots--may their creators be infested by a thousand fleas) and we shouldn't ever forget that.

---

1st of all: LOL at the bot creators comment. Hopfully the devs stance and methods discussed during fanfest will help purge eve of the bots.

2nd: It's true, even in war there can be some civility, we're all people in the end. From now on, I will only ninja salvage because I love you all so much.

ITT: Ninja salvager does a good thing, and gets flamed for that too.

You guys can never win, can you Spud?

Also, I echo Akita's first post. Nice story.

It was very thoughtful of you, NinjaSpud, to engage the "victim" in conversation and make the effort to provide moral support to a soldier fighting a war you don't agree with.

Do you like racing? Would you consider being a race marshal if I told you I lost my leg in Afghanistan?

Ok, umm, Honestly I have no idea what you are trying to say here.

Racing...losing a leg in Afghanistan.... race marshal.

One's a sport, One's an unfortunite event, one's a made up profession? How does one become a race harshal?

Whats the connection and how does it have anything to do with me being a nice pirat and giving back the blokes loot?


Drugs are bad man!

So, your story was that you were going about your daily eve play, doing whatever it is you do. Suddenly someone announces to you that they were involved in some real-life fisticuffs at which point you became emotionally invested and offered to help them with what they were doing.

So I took a shot at making a similar claim in order to evoke the same emotion so that you would feel compelled to help me with what I am doing.

In the event it should work, I also included a brief description of what I would like help with, namely marshaling for my frigate races. (And by the way, race marshal is a legitimate job title. It's almost obsolete in the real world due to all the technology embedded in race tracks which monitor racers' performances, but in eve we have no such technology and therefore we choose to do it manually.)

In the event it doesn't work, no harm done, it was worth a try.
