Obviously.. since "CODE" is already established. Maybe the name should be something more like... De-CODE...

Feel free to establish one, but the difficulties of doing so are well documented.

If you used your actually brilliant mind to help ...

2. Kills must be made in High Security Space (1.0 - 0.5)

Would have been better to hold it in 0.9 - 0.5 or at least add "avoid newbie kills in rookie systems" in the OP.

Saying this because 1.0 systems are mostly rookie starter systems and the targetted ships are often flown by newbies - this might end up with some unintended mistakes. Yes all CODE probably knows the rules about that very well, but I doubt everyone wanting to take part in the event will. (and at least if you warn people about it then no-one can say CODE is encouraging newbie ganking).

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Very impressive champ. Pat yourself on the back and get yourself a cookie.


Anyone calling blowing up internet spaceships bullying needs a reality check, and denigrates victims of actual bullying. Grow the eff up.

I guess you don't get the irony of playing a spaceship based MMO and posting on an internet forum about it, while calling other people nerds. Everyone here is a nerd, bro. The only way this game could be nerdier is if our avatars were all anime and rode sparkly unicorns.

After seeing those figures - wow. Something like 50% of the bots banned gamewide are Venture pilots.

Ventures are counted as 2,289 vs. 3,143 non-Ventures. That's 42% of *mining* bots.

Mining bots in April 2014 are outnumbered 3 to 2 by mission bots and 2 to 1 by ratting bots. I'll disregard the market bots for simplicity.

This makes Ventures (2,289 in number) a whopping 16% of the total bots (14,143).

Poasting in a "Get yourself in trouble with CCP for ganking newbros in thier spawn system." thread.


Killing bambi's is weak. Ugh

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

It almosts seems like this is a troll thread from code with the lamest prize and most pointless target they could think of

I thought specifically targeting new players, (such as miners in ventures) was a bannable offence according to CCP.
I also thought running a terrorist origination, designed to harass and grief players wasn't allowed.

Guess you just got to know who's arse to kiss so you can break the rules, harass new players, and bring shame upon the entirety of the EVE community.

And FYI:

ter·ror·ism [ter-uh-riz-uhm]

noun
1.
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

You are the one who needs a reality check.

There are real people playing this game,
many with abaolutely real and absolutely questionable personalities.


You can talk against it all you want and still the fact remains
that your silly group is attracting those who love to pick on others.

You can twist it all you want, but a personality is NEVER detachable from
what it does, even when simply playing a game! The fact that people have fun
picking on others MUST mean that there is something in their personality
THAT MAKES IT FUN FOR THEM!

These people are on BOTH sides on the equation...
... but your side is the one actively recruiting it.

I can't wait for your response! I have six options what you
will reply roughly and you will most likely pick one of them.
We already made bets here about that! XD

Don't let me down, i can win 50 bucks. (:

And USA is at top place of list of IPs used by banned accounts but I don't see any antiUSA CODE initiatives. At least be more creative when finding excuses for this sh!t.

I agree with that.

To be able to role play a character successfully , what you do must be acceptable to you.

I can never role play bad or evil characters, because I get no enjoyment or satisfaction from role playing in such a way.

Doesn't mean you can't fight though if the cause is justified.

Recklessly killing Ventures on-sight seems rather dangerous to be doing as a contest...

Then again, the prize is pretty weak.

Excluding kills of players <21 days in rookie systems or even all kills* in rookie systems from the competition is probably a good idea, especially if CODE. want to stay on the right side of the rules regarding newbies. Outside of the rookie systems, everyone is fair game.

*Personally I think they should go after the people that strip-mine the rookie systems in barges and exhumers, they're locusts that leave nothing for the newbies.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Can we please get back to CODE bashing.
I was getting a great laugh out of it.

I also like the whole "hearding cats" trying to get miners in HiSec to do something together.

Not to forget CODE warriors going after the newest and weakest ships .. only thing lower has to be n00b-ship gankers

of course they won't
that would require taking risks



which is the same reason they continuously ignore all the ratting bots out in null

Can you provide me with some evidence to show that code has ever cared about null sec?
