The Most Dangerous Game: True or False

NOT A Pirate

[The most dangerous game is an article transmitted from the data pad of the pirate zean xulunta, this column speaks about pirating in almost every aspect ranging from what a pirate is all the way to how to avoid them.]

Pirates… seems like everyone is a pirate now-a-days huh? The gankers in jita, the guy who cons you into fleeting him so he can warp to you, can flippers, can baiters, and ninja salvagers… I think not. Those are all various types of scum, yes. But just because they are scum does not make them pirates. Your local ninja salvaging corp may claim they are pirates but really? they can scan, probe, and salvage OH NOES! Same thing with the can flippers and baiters…If you have to sit outside of the newbie stations and bait a can to get kills you are not a pirate… you are a highsec wannabe. and just because the guys stole your minerals does not make him a pirate.if someone has a low sec status does not mean they are a pirate…

Now yeah this may sound like a rant but you know in order for me to get this article going I have to give my views on what i think a true pirate is no matter how respectable or not… if not i may have conflicting views with someone.
Regardless here is my definition of an eve-online pirate:” I as a pirate only see people who are located in low or null security space, who actually kill players for the sake of isk and enjoyment as pirates… no matter how ethics come into play thats a pirate. ”

I think that this is true.. I mean if you are a highsec player and say YARG I AM A PIRATE with 5.0 standings… you are either very bad or a butt pirate either way you see fit. I also think ethics are various when it comes to someone being a pirate and such… some pirates respect ransoms (I do) some don’t, Some pirates invite people to fleets and warp to them(if they are a newbie i will do it from time to time o.O) and some gatecamp and so forth… all of these are forms of piracy along with many other forms out there.

Simply, i wanted to use this article as a start to what i hope will become a better series as it goes through out its life span… I figured that explaining what i thought as a pirate would help in the long run when i refer to someone as being a pirate.

What do you think of my definition? Do you have another one? something to say or add? Well have your self heard by commenting!

    We have never claimed to be pirates nor do we want to be. Considering that we are the premiere ninja salvaging corporation in EVE, I think that’s saying something. Just sayin’. ;)

    I look forward to the rest of your articles.

    Ninjas are pirate wannabes? or necessarily scum?
    Just like pirates, some have honour and are just as susceptible to the charms of polite victims.
    As for scum, you are using Carebear labelling?

    Well they are a form of piracy but not a true pirate, they are merely gateways into the world of piracy but many don’t find their way through them or just cant handle being an actual pirate.
