Crime & Punishment

When someone can translate the OP into English let me know...

Why so condescending? I don't see you doing anything else than talking either, so you and OP could become a perfect team. You could then dock up in the same station and dream together about how others will one day successfully fight the New Order.

The irony of a CODE agent calling someone else condescending. You say you havent seen me do anything then talk, thats understandable. I bet it is difficult for you to see anything beyond that standard CODE issue sense of smug self-entitlement.
I think I may be able to help you out a bit though. For starters you could get out of Abudban for a while. Its a big galaxy out there mate. You have to admit that alot of things could happen that you might not know about if you limit yourself to one system. Although Agents like you who do grow roots in one part of space are one of the reasons it is so easy to operate without any CODE interference.

My conditions for victory are not as open ended as yours either. Perhaps thats where all the arrogance comes from. You guys cant seem to lose no matter what the outcome of any situation. That could over-inflate anybodys ego. I guess you're all products of your enviroment.

For me a good days work is showing a pilot how easy it is to avoid CODE.
A really good day is getting some good bumps in on some compliant miners and maybe even getting one to renounce James in local.
An awesome day is getting a gank in on a CODE compliant miner. These days are becoming more rare, permit holders being hard to find these days.
Maybe people are starting to get it after all.

Fabulous! This of course involves low sec, null sec, or wormhole space, correct?

Sounds like they weren't doing a great job of being compliant. I'm sure they'll learn though. Well except for any renouncing James though. You know what they say, two steps forwards, one step back.

Again if you sucessfully gank a compliant miner they probably weren't fully compliant at the time. We do differentiate between code compliant miners and permit holders you know.

Yep!

And since I have room for one more quote in my post we get a bonus question!


Don't mind if I do. I love popcorn. As for "Ghost CODE members" there aren't any, well at least not here. All CODE. members can be seen on EveWho, and most other agents are not afraid to inform you that they are agents. The handful that are actually undercover (usually our friends over in BU that sympathize with us) aren't going to be posting in this thread.

What is the problem then?

Cool, do we get a secret decoder ring and learn a funny handshake?

cool story br.....wat?

Shooting miners that do not shoot back is far more interesting than roaming for hours on end and finding nothing to shoot at all, yes. You get reactions, you get stories, you get funny things happening. In an ideal world, yes, low and null sec would be a source of limitless adventure and good fights, but the reality is that you really have to be both patient and lucky to have a chance at literally squeezing fun out of these areas, where Hisec gives it to you immediately. Again, I agree it is indeed a shame that so much good, accessible, and fun content comes out of Hisec, but between mechanics and people themselves, other areas are content deserts.


If they produce so much quality content generation, why do a number of goons/CFC roll with CODE? Maybe because bluesec is so boring. Show me one other blog that generates half as many hits as minerbumping.com. All I need to make an impact (for better or worse) in CODE is 2 weeks of SP and a catalyst provided free. Propaganda aside, how many capitals and SP does someone need to make a difference in null, outside of scams and awoxes?


I would much rather have a good fight and lose than just sink miner after miner. I think you misunderstand me a bit. However due to issues already raised, finding those good fights is prohibitively hard these days. Which is exactly my point - CODE is a consequence of the current state of things, nothing more and nothing less.


Greifbears are just animals displaced from their natural habitat, forced into hisec captivity because their natural prey items went extinct when they bulldozed everything to create bluesec.


Always welcome!

More than that, many of our targets take more than one catalyst to kill, so we pretty much accept that our ships lost will generally hover around double what our ships killed is.

As a side note, every noob is precious, even in null sec. One goon hero's first words in EVE were, "I've got a point on the moros... and 7 days left on my trial account."

It's all about perception, and how the alliance nutures rookies. The other half of the map wants self-sufficient pvpers who know what they are doing. That also often translates into a proliferation of highsec alts. Cue highsec ganking, and it's just a continuation of the goon narrative of rookies and space communists holding veterans at their mercy.

Quite often. An fc threw 50 million at me this week for hero tackling an exqueror assisted daredevil in a rifter, knowing that I would die instantly. This week we scrambled a kitchen sink fleet that had ratting vindicators and ravens in it. I whined that we're ridiculously shiny, and we only have one scythe between 80 fail fit pve boats. "Man up" they told me, the grim reaper has only one scythe. We killed the Black Core titan on the front page of The Mittani.

The cfc is stupidly fun.
