It seems that lots of people are willing to pay ransoms these days...
As a case in point, I found a C2 WH this evening where the hi-sec static entrance was getting ready to close for time.
I jumped in to take a peek and saw a Minmatar Control Tower on scan with no force field and nothing anchored.
Usually I just ignore these unless they have Ship Maintenance Arrays or Corp Hangars but I had a feeling about this one. Best case: it was in the process of being unanchored.
So - I quickly scan it down, warp to it and find that it is "online" but not forcefield.
As I'm trying to figure out why the owners wouldn't put up the force field, a bestower and an itty III jump in and warp to straight to the POS.
I kill both of them (one had a few weak POS mods and one had more fuel) and pod one of the pilots.
The other was too fast for me.
But - I convo'd him and offered to let him finish fueling and setting up his POS before the WH collapsed for time if he'd pay me 150 mil. After all, we want more carebears in WH's... not less!
He gives me a sob story about not being able to afford 150m but then finishes with 'But I can pay you 50m'
As I really didn't want to camp the WH anyway - I just took the 50m and ran. Not a bad use of about 10 minutes time and a little luck.
This is definitely worth remembering for the future.

Gimme your orca and I'll leave you alone!
I've learned better than to promise to keep writing more but I wanted to at least leave a simple post to kind of bring people up to date.
I've been hunting wormholes about 2 - 3 times a month with reasonably profitable results.
In one of the WH's I've been camping I've done over 10 bil worth of kills and personally gotten close to 5 billion in profit from it.
Not shabby!
But today is the day it came to an end. I needed to free my alt up to help with some other projects so I stepped up my extortion efforts and cashed out.
But first a little history.
It all started with my just missing tackling a vargur who was plexing in a WH. He was aligned and even though I bump tackled - I missed him. It got especially painful when I reviewed his contracts and saw that he most likely had several officer mods worth a total of 10 billion (tracking computers and enhancers are expensive) on his vargur.
Needless to say, that caught my attention and I started camping their WH.
That first night I caught a lone tengu plexing. I was able to talk him into ejecting to save his pod from the onlining Mobile Warp Disruptor Bubble. 100% drop rate is always preferable (2 billion profit is nice too!)
The second night they started plexing with 2 vargurs, a scorp navy issue and a tengu. I didn't have the hi-sec bookmarked so I tried to take them solo but they chewed me up. They didn't have points, but there was no way I was going to break them.
The good news is they were cocky! I called for help and was able to bait them into engaging us and got the following Vargur and the Scorp Navy Issue (6 - 7 billion in damage) that night. We split around 2 billion in loot between us.

Things were quite for awhile with only a rare kill every now and again (and 100m ransom from a hulk) from this particular wormhole (but some good kills including carriers coming pretty much every weekend from others).
Then a couple of weeks ago I got a tengu tackled in their wormhole. He wouldn't eject, but he did drop everything I'd want him to drop.
Check out the tengu mail on their corp losses! (1 bill + in profit)
http://www.freelancerunion.co.uk/eve-killboard/?a=corp_detail&crp_id=1155
I had been trying to extort these guys for around 1 billion isk to get me to leave them alone for awhile. What I didn't find out until later was that one of the guys who I'd invited along for a few kills (and didn't even have an alt in their wormhole) extorted them for the same 1 billion and they paid him while I was not playing due to work.
Ah well.. such is life.
So today I was watching their wormhole and saw that they had an orca assisting their miners (but also knew that they were watching for me to sign in etc).
I wasn't able to tackle the miner, but I did talk the orca into warping to the grav site and ejecting in exchange for me leaving them alone. I paid him 75m to sweeten the pot since I really wanted to free my alt up to camp another wormhole I'd found.
The chat log of that discussion follows:
(Thanks again to Tol Sirion for backing me up on the fact that I'm an honorable guy)

[ 2010.09.25 16:54:38 ] Tol Sirion > I would say its sometimes beneficial to all involved to pay a ransom.
[ 2010.09.25 16:55:29 ] gutted > cheaper for your corp in this case for sure

[ 2010.09.25 16:59:13 ] Tol Sirion > is it you want to do your thing but gutted is in system?
[ 2010.09.25 16:59:25 ] gutted > your corp would pay you back from this - but not if I just catch you and kill you

The even better news was that the hi-sec system I ended up in was two jumps from where I'd left the loot from their tengu kill a few weekends back (and some other loot from other kills that weekend). So I loaded the ship my alt had been flying into my shiny new ship maintenance bay, put all the lot in my shiny new corp hangars - and off to Jita I flew.
(I'll try and do better about short posts and updates going forward - but no promises)
I've been hunting wormholes about 2 - 3 times a month with reasonably profitable results.
In one of the WH's I've been camping I've done over 10 bil worth of kills and personally gotten close to 5 billion in profit from it.
Not shabby!
But today is the day it came to an end. I needed to free my alt up to help with some other projects so I stepped up my extortion efforts and cashed out.
But first a little history.
It all started with my just missing tackling a vargur who was plexing in a WH. He was aligned and even though I bump tackled - I missed him. It got especially painful when I reviewed his contracts and saw that he most likely had several officer mods worth a total of 10 billion (tracking computers and enhancers are expensive) on his vargur.
Needless to say, that caught my attention and I started camping their WH.
That first night I caught a lone tengu plexing. I was able to talk him into ejecting to save his pod from the onlining Mobile Warp Disruptor Bubble. 100% drop rate is always preferable (2 billion profit is nice too!)
The second night they started plexing with 2 vargurs, a scorp navy issue and a tengu. I didn't have the hi-sec bookmarked so I tried to take them solo but they chewed me up. They didn't have points, but there was no way I was going to break them.
The good news is they were cocky! I called for help and was able to bait them into engaging us and got the following Vargur and the Scorp Navy Issue (6 - 7 billion in damage) that night. We split around 2 billion in loot between us.

Things were quite for awhile with only a rare kill every now and again (and 100m ransom from a hulk) from this particular wormhole (but some good kills including carriers coming pretty much every weekend from others).
Then a couple of weeks ago I got a tengu tackled in their wormhole. He wouldn't eject, but he did drop everything I'd want him to drop.
Check out the tengu mail on their corp losses! (1 bill + in profit)
http://www.freelancerunion.co.uk/eve-killboard/?a=corp_detail&crp_id=1155
I had been trying to extort these guys for around 1 billion isk to get me to leave them alone for awhile. What I didn't find out until later was that one of the guys who I'd invited along for a few kills (and didn't even have an alt in their wormhole) extorted them for the same 1 billion and they paid him while I was not playing due to work.
Ah well.. such is life.
So today I was watching their wormhole and saw that they had an orca assisting their miners (but also knew that they were watching for me to sign in etc).
I wasn't able to tackle the miner, but I did talk the orca into warping to the grav site and ejecting in exchange for me leaving them alone. I paid him 75m to sweeten the pot since I really wanted to free my alt up to camp another wormhole I'd found.
The chat log of that discussion follows:
(Thanks again to Tol Sirion for backing me up on the fact that I'm an honorable guy)

[ 2010.09.25 16:54:38 ] Tol Sirion > I would say its sometimes beneficial to all involved to pay a ransom.
[ 2010.09.25 16:55:29 ] gutted > cheaper for your corp in this case for sure

The even better news was that the hi-sec system I ended up in was two jumps from where I'd left the loot from their tengu kill a few weekends back (and some other loot from other kills that weekend). So I loaded the ship my alt had been flying into my shiny new ship maintenance bay, put all the lot in my shiny new corp hangars - and off to Jita I flew.
(I'll try and do better about short posts and updates going forward - but no promises)
