Crime & Punishment

unable to pod afk pilots. I knew the this new order was bad, but not this bad

I think he also got the "ass" part quite right.

Now I am sad.

So where in The New Order's Code does it say that new players are exempt? I didn't see it. After all, how do you know it is a new player? It could be a bot-aspirant's alt. So it looks like the miner in question committed the following code violations:

1. Failure to pay the $10 million "fee".
2. Failure to display allegiance to The New Order in his bio (the OP reports the player had no bio).
3. Failure to avoid the appearance of botting. The gankers believed that the pilot was AFK, so that violation is confirmed.
4. Failure to congratulate the gankers for their success. The OP did not report such a fundamental requirement of those who follow The Code.

There may have been a fifth violation, bot-aspirant behavior, but as the pod warped off after the kill we don't know if the miner had been at the controls the entire time or if the miner had just sat down at the keyboard when the enforcement action began. Since the OP believed the pilot was AFK, I believe that is evidence of bot-aspirant behavior, but I am not an expert in The Code.

So popping the miner is fully in compliance with The Code, and it appears that The Code requires such actions. James 315 would be pleased that a new player was taught the proper lesson about the nature of Eve. I also can't wait to see Singular Snowflake's public apology to James 315 for discouraging those who wish to enforce The Code. Like maybe with a 9 or 10 digit contribution to The New Order that will appear on James 315's blog?

I just wish that CCP would move ice out of high sec so we could be done with this New Order nonsense. It's a nice scam that's netted James 315 over 64 billion ISK so far, but the gag's getting old.

The fact you wasted 5 T2 fit gank catas on one retriever makes me sad.

Much like your gankboats, this thread has gone and blown up in your face

Hmm failure to read the Code right there, the New Order don't promise to keep their customers safe from the dangers of Eve, the permit and full compliance to the code keeps people safe from the predations of the New Order itself, everyone else can gank them, just not New Order pilots.

Ganking non permit holders is admirable, if the OP and his merry men can find a permit holder that is AFK, and manages to gank them then that's fine as well, the permit holder is in violation of the code and their permit is null and void. That said the OP is full of fail, claims miner was AFK, can't catch an AFK pod :doh:

So...he came to the forums to brag about ganking a retriever?

I think the minimum requirement to post about ganking is an exhumer or lots of tears.

On a related note I killed an NPC rat guys! Isn't that so impressive, I got the bounty and all! #2pro

With all those capital letters in the corporation name and in this thread title, don't forget that CAP LOCKS ARE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!1!1!

This thread is amusing, kudos OP.
