My analysis of His psychological profile:

That is why He will not walk with the NO treasury.

..To the OP. You do realize that the New Order treasury has been at sub one billion ISK many times, and very close to insolvency?

James 315's thread in the Market Discussion forum state ~304 billion in shares sold, true. But ~240 billion of that ISK has been paid out to reimbursements to the Knights who enforce The Code on a daily basis. James simply does not have 304 billion ISK that he could walk away with, like you are implying.

James 315 cares not for ISK. James 315 cares for Eve. That is why he has been granted the title Savior of HighSec. I actually greet him in the fashion that I see him: James 315, Savior of Eve.

OP, by making this thread you have personified that whitch The New Order fights against on a daily basis: ISK Lust. I completely understand why you are so off base. You and your ilk only care about ISK, so James and the Agents must also only care about ISK. Try being baptized in the holy embrace of Concord for a chance. Willingly and faithfully destroy a portion of your fortune. And then, you will see what ISK, and Eve truly is: A very engaging game that is rewarding to those who choose to not be bot-asperients.

Ponzi schemes do pay out for awhile, up until the point that the money flowing in is less than the money flowing out. Paying out only legitimizes the scheme in the eyes of the new naïve investor.

It just comes down to the price you will pay for emergent content.

Give me isk and I will blow it all on gank catalysts that explode every time they undock is hardly your typical Ponzi scheme sales pitch though.

..Ponzi schemes, however, do not pay out 90% of the money they receive. You know, like The New Order Treasury does.

Let the comparisons continue, we say. The true believers in The Code all know the moniker that is the most fitting for James: The Father of HighSec and Savior of Eve.

OP does not understand shares in NO at all. Shares are donations to ensure tears continue to flow in high sec. Funds are used to reimburse knights for ships lost in ganks, based on the whether it was a T1, meta, or T2 Catalyst. My ganking alt has received reimbursement for every single loss mail I have submitted. A quick look at minerbumping.com will show you exactly how much ISK NO has in the treasury...it would take a crap-ton of donations in a very short period of time for the treasury to ever reach 500B.

When all of Eve is safe from bot-aspirancy and bot-aspirant behaviour, then James can walk away with any isk remaining in the New Order treasury, and it will still only be a fraction of what he deserves for his efforts in saving Eve and making New High sec a better place for all.

Until then, there is no reason to walk away, the New Order generates unlimited content for Agents and Rebels alike. Some people value content over isk, for those, the content generated is worth far more than the New Order treasury could ever hold. On top of that, if you assume that the New Order is in fact a ponzi scheme, which you are welcome to believe if you wish, as long as the isk continues to flow in faster than it flows out, there is zero reason to walk away.

I have sold six mining licenses, and bought 60 shares with the 60m isk. I have received over 200m in reimbursements in the last 3 weeks, and with loot I am slightly up on the deal.

He cashed out on day one. Also, look up "Ponzi Scheme" someday.

And when that happens, James will walk away with 315 billion ISK.

It was my understanding that, on the occasion of her summary dismissal from our ranks, Erotica 1 sent all her/his/it? ISK to James 315. That was an amount in the very many billions of ISK.

I only need about 77000 ISK though.

Check out his youtube videos (Battlefield315); he's a conservative nutcase (no surprise Gevlon fell in love with him) with delusions of being a great propagandist, not much else to it.

My eve experience from rags to riches has taught me that ISK is essentially worthless. It pretty much falls out of the sky on command. Also his spending on the reimbursement program shows he's unlikely to run off with it, since the amount he receives likely only barely covering the expense of running everything. It's only the recent large donations that put him in higher numbers, but even this amount is hardly worth running off with.

Perhaps space-poor individuals have a different view, but I've found that even making ISK a normal way (i.e not gambling) is so **** easy that it's almost worthless to steal at the amounts were talking about.

Some verification needed on whether or not James 315 is responsible for those youtube posts (battlefield315).
Maybe some of our resident CODE fourm regulars could shine some light on this.
