I think I speak for alot of TGFTers when I say:
1) How much?
2) Is safe passage guaranteed?
3) For how logn is safe passage guaranteed?
4) Will you defend against other pirates?

If it's too expencive, or you can't guarantee safe passage for long enough, and won't even provide cover, then you should find yourself a nice and toasty road to crash into until you give this some serious consideration.

I'm not about to pay "protection money" if there is no protection involved.  What are your terms?
- By Anonymous Date 2006-05-15 11:24
1) how much?: il charge 50k
2) Is safe passage guaranteed?: YES!
3) For how long is safe passage guaranteed?: i only pirate same person 1 time pr day.
4) Will you defend against other pirates?: no i wont, i will look for other prey that hasnt payed me yet.

with the new commodities i have to change my pirate fee.

its now 250k for 1 day free pass.

Wow 250k , thats a lot of creds you say! Bollox 250k is 5 min of profit with a moth.

i tested it, i traded for 5 hours yesterday, made a whopping 20 mill credits trading in the same fuckin system.

So 250k, and jolly wont shoot at ya, thats a good deal.
- By Faustino Bashkir Date 2008-05-19 19:16
Is that it? In 5 hours?  I made 30mill in 1 hour in Dau...
Pirates really can't trade :P
- By JollyBall Date 2009-02-24 17:09
30 MIL IN ONE HOUR???!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!??????????

I'm not even pretending to be a n00b anymore, but how the HELL do you make that much money in an hour?  /me is confused.

Sorry for all the caps.  I promise I'll be Jollier once I'm not sick anymore.  X-(

Before the Dev's mega-nerfed trade, all you needed to do was find a system where 2 stations had trade items that went for 1000-2000cr profit per cube.  Grab yourself an XC and grind grind grind!  Figure an average between the trades is 1500cr profit, your looking at 600,000cr profit per round trip.   50 trips = 30 mil.  If you are lucky enough to find an even better route, then your work is significantly reduced.  To make that in an hour is impressive and rare, but doable.  I'd say 1 1/2 to 2 hrs would be more realistic.  But then, those days are long gone.

Even 'I' know that!  When do I get my uniform?
- By Faustino Bashkir Date 2009-03-31 20:06
What type of uniform?  I mean, I saw a chef's outfit down at the shops with a big sign on it saying; "Now only $399".
- By Obsidian Date 2006-05-09 22:35
I look forward to watching you try to destroy my ship.

Mystic is CLM commander? lolz

By the way, the poll needs another option: Call a guildie to kill the pirate.
And in case that you are the guildie that does that sort of thing: Kill the pirate.

Aye, I remember someone stopping his moth for payment, but then played smart ass and called Ion Storm in for help, harharhahhahahar, that gave me a good laugh
I popped the moth and then popped mr Storm. Remember this?

- By Faustino Bashkir Date 2008-05-19 19:19
Yes, but most of the time, the moth pops you :P
- By Yasumoto Date 2006-06-12 18:39
I have not seen a pirate in several months. Where are they?
- By Yasumoto Date 2006-07-18 20:22
weeeeeee. got chased by a couple of NPC's in grey space.

i still haven't spotted or been chased by a living pirate in many months. ah well.
- By Aleksey Date 2006-07-14 02:06 Edited 2006-07-14 02:39
Hire an escort: 8%
Sigh... do you know how it's hard for pirate hunter to make money?

BTW, I don't understand why CLM doesn't offer TGFT to pay for the whole guild's safety weekly price? That is good for pirate hunters of course that you don't have such agreement, but, just curious, are you pirate guys too dumb to think such thing out, or don't want to get things too easy =)
- By Obsidian Date 2006-07-14 03:24
Because TGFT doens't pay pirates.  If we get pirated we fight back in our trader ways or we hire an escort if it is a really good pirate.
- By Anonymous Date 2006-07-17 10:01
because im stinking rich, and i dont give a shit, i pirate for the thrill of chasing them down and boom them.
What the hell am i suppose to do if the biggest trading guild was to pay me off for an entire week ?

Go hang out in B-8 with the rest of the PVP`ers ?

nha i preferr it this way, makes my job more fun.

- By Zathras (Architect of The Great Machine) Date 2006-07-17 17:16
This way is more fun for us, too!
- By LeberMac Date 2006-07-14 22:37
Heh. I vote for taunting on 100. Taunting always works.
- By LeberMac Date 2006-07-26 23:45
But, Yarrr! Ye'll all PAAAY for firing me! I won't be thrown out like some old sack of limes! I gots NEW friends! Yeah! You won't have LeberMac to kick around anymore! No Sir!

- By Spaceranger Date 2006-07-27 04:32
I look foward to fighting you. :>
- By Yasumoto Date 2006-07-27 05:01
I'll drop kegs instead of mines and watch leber's Cent chase after those vessels of goodness.

Where is the checkbox for 'attack with unnaturally suicidal aggression?' I've been doin' it since the CDC/CLM conflict years ago, and I still don't get a checkbox??
- By eclipsed Date 2009-09-09 08:13
YARR!
Pay up!
- By John Eldritch Date 2009-09-09 09:02
I did; TheBlackFlag came all the way from grey to pierat me in Deneb last night, so I paid him to reward his dedication. Unfortunately though that's it for the year... please call again next year to avoid disappointment.
