[Please forgive this atrocious piece of roleplay. It was amusing over a hefty glass of wine.]
Zappity > 50m and i will let you go
Zappity > this be a ransom demand, yarr
Worthy Adversary > yarr
(A highsec Raven had aggressed my humbled Ishkur while I was
innocently pilfering loot from his mission wrecks.)
Zappity > do you decline?
Zappity > for i may be forced to bring in the Orca of
Reshipping
(Actually, I must confess that this was all bluff. I have an Orca alt but she was on the other side of the map and I've never used her for highsec shenanigans.)
Worthy Adversary > well I dont know
Zappity > you have a hefty tank. methinks it be made of
whale hide
(Translation: he had an active tank which I was barely
scratching.)
Worthy Adversary > sort of fell for your trap didnt I
Zappity > that be so, matey
Worthy Adversary > you could just let me go
Zappity > yarr, but the act of deactivating yon warp
scrambler is so tiring it deserves some pennies
Worthy Adversary > you dont want pennies
Zappity > i be awaitin' a counter offer
(His valiant alt arrived in a Kestrel. I stayed on the Raven and
sent my drones after the Kestrel. He managed to escape deep in hull.)
Zappity > when will your parrot return? or was it a
Kestrel?
Zappity > he be a fiesty specimen
Worthy Adversary > Kestrel but he wont be back
Zappity > ye showed some spirit so i am willing to lower
my accustomed fee
Zappity > 10m and you're a'sailin free
Worthy Adversary > well thank you - to what
Worthy Adversary > 10 mil is fair
Worthy Adversary > how do I know you will leave me alone
Worthy Adversary > once I have paid
Zappity > you must trust me. but i be an honourable
pirate, yarr
Worthy Adversary > lol
(Sigh. You lot make life so difficult sometimes.)
Zappity > my patience be wearing thin, ya briny barnacle
Zappity > the old Orca, she takes a while to align but
helpful she surely is
Worthy Adversary > Yes I am sure
Zappity > and I sense ye are a'stallin, waiting for a
fleet sailing in on the winds
Zappity > if it give thee comfort, I be a member of the
Honourable Ransomers' Club: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3584534
(Whether this would have had any effect we shall never
learn. At this moment his alt arrived again, this time in a Drake.)
Zappity > treachery!
(I had lost my Suspect flag and so sent the Drake a duel
request. He had set it to auto-reject so I had to wait for him to summon up the
courage.)
Zappity > yon Drake will need to send a duel request for
i no longer be suspect
Worthy Adversary > yeah noticed
Zappity > i be willing to take on the two of ye
Zappity > foul play be damned!
Worthy Adversary > why dont I feel this is a good idea
(Ha! He aggressed! And didn’t take the chance to depart
while I burned the ~30km from the Raven to the Drake. I knew I couldn’t break
the Raven and wanted a crack at the battlecruiser.)
Worthy Adversary > still want 10 mil
(This came after I broke his shield. It was a passive regen
tank and it was very close. I needed overheated guns to crack it and reached
80% heat before getting past peak regen.)
Zappity > ye had your chance, now thee walks the plank!
Worthy Adversary > fair enough
Zappity > gf, catch you around mate
Worthy Adversary > cu
hey thats fun
