>>>>>[Well, for those that don't know, I follow Shark. Shark is the Destroyer, the Death that comes to claim the weak and the injured, so that those that remain are stronger for his passing. When I kill, I make it quick, clean, and without suffering. I do not kill mindlessly or without purpose, but I show no mercy to those who meet my blade in combat. Any that fall to my blades were too weak to live, and one day I, too, will prove too weak. This is not a thought I relish, but one that I am at peace with. One day I will be just a little too slow, and then Shark will come for me.
And yes, Vexboy, I'm helping you even though I know you were Star. If you ask around about me, you'll find that I spent some time on the bright (ok, less dark) side of the shadows myself. We all have our reasons for being here. Some chose this life. Some were born into it. Some were cast out for offenses real or imagined. And so on. If you allow your distrust of, say, all former corpsec to prevent you from joining a team with them, then you will find yourself running with very few friends and limited options.
Also, I did make several grand off that transaction myself, just as a middleman.
Scatter, one should be careful not to show one's ignorance. You may be hot stuff in your little corner of the Matrix, but reputation is key. A reputation for doing the things you've done in this conversation will get you blacklisted, if you're lucky. If you're less lucky, you may find that you piss off people who either have the chops in the Matrix or the material world to find you and make your life miserable, or know other people who owe them favors that do. If you're really unlucky, someone decides that turning you in for a bounty is easy money. I believe MCT still needs TMs for their garden, for instance.]<<<<<
