Confirming that The New Order and CODE. come off as 12 year old white kids trying to act gangsta.

Seriously, that analogy pretty much sums up the image I have of them.



That's strange. When I speak to them and listen in the various channels they come off (mostly anyhow) as guys and gals ranging from the mid to late 20's up to 50's and beyond who are really chill just having a good time with a liitle lighthearted RP in a silly spaceship game. Maybe a few who take it too far I suppose, but find me ANY community that doesn't have that issue.

I consider myself to be in strong support of the NO and I've got a 14 year old kid who thinks he is gangsta. Does that count?

It's at least 8 years old, but new players come and want to be cool and it's fun for them to say

"look I'm cool to guise, ima make a post about killin miners tahahehehee"

It's humor is on the level of decade old regurgitated memes

When did I mention class? Or were you just personally hurt by what I said? I didn't mean to offend your epictrollz internet persona. I have no idea who you even are.

It ceased being funny or "cool" after the 2nd-3rd Hulkageddon. It actually borders on hypocrisy and a bit ironic when you really look at it.

In today's climate, ganking is as old as Eve itself I'm sure and some things never change, and never will. I am however pretty convinced that after witnessing many attacks on miners that you so graciously "ENJOY" the aftermath of a kill in Hisec. I am sure your killboard reflects that as well. I am convinced sir that as far as you are concerned you go to bed at night with absolutely no remorse for your actions, sure it's just a game mind you but sometimes ingame attitudes gets taken back to reality and from there who knows.

When one such as you kill a mining ship and pod kill the miner, I am sure you are overjoyed to get very little out of the wrecks if anything at all save for implants and hard wiring. I am sure you are so overcome with joy when the miner raises the roof with you in local and that you just sit there at your computer laughing at the fool you are. I am sure you're fattening your wallet everytime you act in the matter to which you have publicly displayed.

The joy comes of course from the fact that I helped that miner become a better player and even better person by teaching him a vital lesson about the game and the CODE, which is of course the law in Highsec. You seam to forget that we are the good guys in Highsec, always ready to help the miners with leadership, order and our friendship.

We help to stabilize this vital part of the game from where almost all the resources for our ships come from. I think we can both agree that this important profession needs reliable and healthy pilots which follow the law and make us all proud to be citizens of Highsec.

When I look into my system and it's only populated with responsive and kind people all with their mining permits ready to prove their loyalties to James 315 and The New Order, then I know I am doing the right thing and make a difference.

You can make a difference too, all it needs is faith in the CODE and some SP in Gallente Destroyer

To be fair, the fact that people enjoy talking about them either for or against makes them more relevant to modern EvE than the vast majority of ten-a-penny mining outfits and supposed anti-ganker squads out there.

Is it the NO alts or the bored trolls that talk about how much they dont care about NO and how they arent relevant?

True, although
The louder you scream, the more you are heard. I've tried fighting them in a wardec (They Dec'd us), they weren't all too interested in PVP beyond miners. So I doubt they have any real relevance and impact outside of a select subcategory of industry and the markets (ganking ships and barges). They are good at yelling, but actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to actions, they aren't that relevant

My Alliance was recently Decced by TAXU and one of their spin of groups.

Apparently the rot in PvP is strong these days as the once-great TAXU also seems to be only interested in noobs who arent pay attention or following rules while in their mining ships.

i get ganking mission runners in their blinged out ships, or freighters carrying too much cargo... but miners? ok.
unless miner tears cure cancer or something...

unless the ganking has a monetary purpose I don't see it either.. seems it would get boring over time.

miners get ganked because they are easy targets to pad the killboards with of failed pvpers, on average 2 people can gank any barge, i have also seen gankers thay use nothing but battlecruisers like a brutix "to prove a point" as they say.
