A game theory analysis of the Aisling Duval kidnapping situation

How could Napolean Bonaparte or Alexander the Great lead great armies in spite of the fact that they couldn't *personally* out-fight those they led?

Lol. They were great strategists. You, allegedly, kidnapped a princess that a great many of us could care less about. You couldn't even choose a good target for your abduction..

Well, you need to either be a founder or have Elite in one rank to have access to Shinrarta Dhezra, which is the HQ of the Pilot's Federation. So if you can't even visit, why should you lead?

Bye, Felicia.
 
I am happy to report that as of today, the Princess remains securely in my possession. The Imperial pilots of the 13th Legion and others waged a relentless assault against me and my forces in an attempt to rescue her, but failed by a narrow margin. They were simply unable to overcome one of the greatest fighting force ever assembled, consisting of Smiling Dog Crew, Nomads and independent pilots.

Tomorrow, we continue phase two of my plan: to find a Thargoid, and then feed it a princess.

I don’t see why people are so hung up on Aisling Duval. We have LITERALLY ONE (1) JPG remixed to all fuggery of her for the entirety of her existence: She and the other Power Ponces are literally ED’s version of star citizen concept ships.


I didn’t even know of (or care about) her plight until I read this thread. And I still don’t, now.

:)
 
David Braben is the one true leader of the Pilot's Federation!

I think letting CMDR Zarek Null and the Princess die due to Thargoids would be a Win/Win. :p

Hahaha I applaud this, nice try. Needs a bit less 2D Saturday morning cartoon villain though. Nice try nonetheless.

Ahm... no, there are other photos as well (see my avatar, this was time as princess visited my T9). And what's about Mr. Null statements ... it is all missinformation and princess is already safe - but let others believe she is not, there are times to be better hidden and let others believe what they want... until time is right.

POWER PLAY :)

If the real Emperor, Arissa Lavigny-Duval, says to rescue the usurping princess, then I will show interest. As it is, I am busy shuttling meds to outbreak systems under the emperor's control.

She did remember to tell you that her mother is coming by to visit later today, right?
No? Oh. Well, then, her mother is coming by to visit.

TIDY UP the place! What? Do you think my mother would want to walk around with all this stuff in the way? Pick up those underwear that have been laying on the floor for the last three weeks. And those socks, while you're at it. Who left this shirt over the chair? I'll bet it wasn't me. You're the only other person here so it must be you and YOUR shirt.

What are these magazines in the restroom? Galaxy Babes In Heat? <rolls eyes to heaven> Aaaahhh!! My mother is going to be SO embarrassed. Please put your "Cats In Bondage" books out of sight! You know how she hates kitty pron. YES, I know cats are cute all rolled up in a ball of yarn but please!!! Put it away.

What are you making her for dinner when she arrives? ........WRONG. You're taking her to the BEST restaurant in the system. Mother only wants the best. How do you expect to be Overlord of anything if you can't overlord a great meal? You don't even own a "Kiss the Cook" apron for when you use the grill.

And another thing:
<screamattopoflungs>
PLEASE STOP SQUEEZING THE TOOTHPASTE
FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TUBE!!!!

</screamattopoflungs>

Did you vacuum the floor yet? How many minions do you have running around here and no one has buffed the landing pad for her yet? Mother likes to see her face SHINE BACK AT HER when she looks down at the landing pad so she can also BASK IN HER OWN GLORY!!!

It could go on for hours. Enjoy, Zarek. :)

It seems to me that the only WIN/WIN scenario we have is the one where I am nominated as the new leader of the Pilot's Federation, and not resisted.

DID nobody watch his video? That girl is just some random Dancer he picked up at a dive station somewhere! The princess is fine at home doing.. you know princess stuff

I doubt anyone took him seriously enough to bother really. Though while the fact that he doesn't have the actual princess was anticipated, the confirmation is always nice.
 
We seemed to miss a very important Option:

"Draw: No body cares what happens to Aisling or Null, and continues playing the game as if they've never seen any of this, since it only happened in someone's head."

"But hey, that's just a theory. A Delusional Theory."

This event was arranged as an entirely opt-in PvP event, the OP effectively presented themselves as a piracy target with a 'valuable' target. I like the basic idea, it seems a good way to bring the community together in a consensual way, avoiding the usual complaints about 'non-consensual' PvP in an open environment.

There is some banter, but overall it's very much a positive step compared to the OP's usual attention seeking tactics, I hope this motivates more players to advertise themselves as viable targets.

Oh, I know what the event is all about. I just like poking a bit of fun around it. It's good and healthy for people to exercise their imaginations. Being a PvP event, as a non-PvP player, this doesn't have any bearing on me. Everybody is allowed to have their own fun - preferably for all, not at the expense of anyone else. I doubt very much Zerek's player is nearly as delusional as his character, any more than I am the Cosmic Curmudgeon I project.
