I've got territorial ambitions that I'm defending, and a sharply limited set of resources in "my" w-space. How is it bullying to attack invaders in an attempt to remove them from my space so they don't compete with me for resources? And I don't know what "don't even have to make mistakes" means. If they don't make mistakes, they don't die... I'm not in high security any longer. Did you miss that bit? I’m not sure what you mean, Erick.

I could stomach it when people were stupid enough to fall for your can flippin tricks in high-sec (it was even a little funny) - but as soon as you got away from Concord you started this bully crap where people don't even have to make mistakes . Can't say that I'm surprised. Whatever floats your boat...

I think a lot of us have forgotten that feeling, but I also think it explains a lot of the "but, he just SAT there!" moments.

Something wrong with that picture, but you were probably right about them having their head in the scanner screen.

If you never bite on flashing reds, and don't set yourself up for cost/benefit suicide ganking, you can completely avoid lethal PvP. Maybe they hadn't used a cloak before?

You mean, she might not have been playing EVE for most of those three-plus years. That's very possible. Oh, wait, I misunderstood you.

Strange place to do it, though -- I think I'd at least have been powering off in a direction, just to complicate the job of people wanting to land on my head. She might have been AFK, hard to say.
