You sound upset. Would you like to discuss your current loss situation so that we might be able to resolve this. I'd also suggest purchasing a permit as well. DJ can confirm that we do in fact honor permits, a few days ago a recently permit holder greeted us in local, and advised him of our activities. Later, it appeared he was AFK, so being the nice crew we are, we sent a convo. He accepted and was stated that he was doing some industrial things. He said he was sorry, docked up like he needed to, and then we all had cake.


I too like cake.

If you are following The CODE you are mining wrong.

The mining mechanics are boring as can be. I have to question why anyone would be willing to sit at their keyboard for that. The only excuse I can think of is forum posting or doing some kind of work on the computer. Even playing another game will keep you distracted long enough so you aren't properly using d-scan.

By following the CODE you are pretty much painting a sign on your forehead that says, "idiot".

Either mine AFK with a tanked ship, mine AFK with a cheap easily replaceable ship, or mine ATK in more hostile space where the rewards are increased and thus match your vigilance.

You are, and I'm quoting myself here, a "made up cult". You RP a cult with the same principles and methods as you would expect to see from a cult. You extend slightly beyond that though as Pedro has demonstrated by starting to talking about the war on bots. Bots do not exist in game, they are an out of game thing, not an RP thing, so there's clear evidence that at least some of your membership are claiming to have an out of game agenda.


You assume we are some sort of separate "Role Playing" group, and somehow are doing something different in regards to that then anyone else. Everyone who logs into EVE is role playing. You are taking control over a make believe character who is immortal and controls a number of starships with faster then light engines. Everyone "role plays".

As for the "cult" thing - if you don't get it, if you can't have fun with player created content, there's really nothing anyone here can do or say to help you. You can complain about it loudly on the fourms, however. The simple reality is: we bring more life and fun to the fine and time-honored art of high-sec suicide ganking then most. We're not doing anything new - and our tactics and techniques were founded in the techniques of those who came before us. The only real difference is that our targets are going to get a lot more then "LOL YOU GOT REKT LEARN TO FIT NOOB" from us - they are going to get guidence, advice, help - assuming they want it and pass the basic litmus test of being polite.

No, you take the nubby miner in his single ship and you blow him up. So he buys a tanked ship and earns slightly less. Then he sees that he can afk quite a bit in this one, so he gets a few more on the go. Then he thinks "hey, if I just buy isboxer for $5 a month, I can run a whole fleet of these!". Shazzam, you're in part responsible for the rise of multiboxed afk miner farms.


Sorry, but I am going to have to put on my fedora of more experience with these things then you now.

In the first half of this year, I have put down about 1100 mining ships, and I have spoken with a fairly large amount of these players. Of them, I can confirm that one or two wers so angry they claimed to have "quit the game" - but there's no way to even prove that, even if they biomass - there's no way of knowing if they actually unsubbed. But let's face it - if you quit eve over losing a ship then it probably was not the game for you in the first place. Also, I don't know a single one who responded by running a ISbox fleet lol :P

Almost every single one of them say nothing, learn to watch for me and my known scouts to be in the area, tank harder, and pay a bit more attention to what is going on. The next time I manage to catch them, it's a lot tougher to drop them, and it's beyond rare that they will allow me to ever shoot them a third time. High-sec suicide ganks are not rocket science, and it's easy to protect yourself with a little common sense.

A small amount of them also purchase a New Order permit after the gank. These players get the benefit of the doubt from our fleets after this point, and they tend to be of a higher caliber then most players.

A tiny group (less then 30!) of everyone I have ever ganked, well, they go full on insane. They send me RL death threats, and in game communications full of some of the most vile stuff you could ever imagine. They rage about honor, bushido, how unfair the game is, etc etc etc. I report the truly special ones to CCP for EULA violations, and forward the good ones to http://minerbumping.com so others may enjoy the story.

There's another group of players you have probably not thought about, and I can introduce you to at least a dozen of them - players I have ganked who have ended up joining the New Order, flying with me, and flat out thanking me for showing them that EVE could actually be fun and they could do something other then shoot rocks or red mission rat things.

I think I'll continue to think "guys who don't understand how eve works" and pay you precisely zip. Ganking people who are trying to actively mine in nooblike ways is in fact causing the exact thing you claim to be against. If you wanted to actually make a change, you'd start working in bigger groups and target the haulers and orcas of multibox and bot miners rather than going after soft targets that 9 times out of 10 are just clueless noobs trying to make their first battleship for "free".


You can think what you want, of course. You are wrong, but I respect your right to hold whatever belief you want. As for paying me, that's fine - those who wish to fly with a New Order permit can, those who don't want do are not forced to. Agents of the New Order are not personally offended when we find a non-permit holding miner - you simply are at a much higher risk of being bumped or fired on.

As for your idea about making a change and working in bigger groups and targeting the Orcas of multibox fleets... wow :) You have done no homework on this subject at all and are just throwing third hand information out there. Personally, I am responsible for FCing the death of over 60 Orca's, which takes at least eight of us (usually more like 12) working together. Most of these Orca's were either totally AFK sitting at a station somewhere providing boosts, or totally AFK in some belt providing boost and being used as a space garbage bin. We have agents who do nothing *BUT* shoot haulers.

I urge you to further educate yourself on this topic before you reply. Here's a handy link for you, the next time you are even considering the use of any of these memes:

You miss the point, like most.

By mining in a ship you can replace easily - you are following the CODE.

By mining with a tanked ship - you are following the CODE.

By moving to more hostile space - you are following the CODE.

The reality is, in any of these situations, if you insist on doing it while AFK - you are at a much greater risk of taking losses, this is regardless of the New Order's personal love of purging the AFK bot-aspirant, if not us - someone will come take you down sooner or later.

The fact is - almost every good miner out there is already following the CODE, to the letter. Now, if they lack a permit and get caught slipping up - they might take a loss that a simple permit would have saved them from, but the skilled miners never put themselves into that situation in the first place.

I hope this helps clear things up a little bit for you.

Of course I can have fun with player created content, I do so daily, but I don't see what's fun about ganking noobs, cutting down on the botters competition, then writing a 3 thousand page essay about how it's all done to save the game from bots.

A simple question was asked by the OP, I answered it. You've now become enormously defensive because you want people to believe you are an honourable bunch, even though it's code members that have pointed out in no uncertain terms that having a permit is irrelevant to survival.

OK, let's see a list of the 1100 people alongside exactly what they did and what they are doing now following being ganked by you.

I've not used any of those. I've stated and will state again: Permits are irrelevant as code members consider them invalid if you are able to be ganked, thus the only way for them to be "valid" is to be ungankable, at which point code can't do anything anyway. Code claim to be against botters and yet their methods do in fact support botters and multiboxers by eliminating the smaller competition.

Those things I stand by.

So by mining AFK in a 20 man isboxer fleet, is the code being followed simply because the ships are tanked? You might want to reread the code.

if they are in a tanked procurer, they have nearly no chance to take a loss. Especially from code members as they lack commitment. It's fine for people to actively break the code if they are too tough to be shot down easily.

Bull. The vast majority of miners are at least partially AFK, meaning they break the code. Just because you choose to select only certain rules then claim that as a victory, it means nothing.

Don't quote the CODE to me, you will fail every single time.

A 20 man isboxer fleet falls under the category of "Excessive Mining" - and is also a super fan target!

Look my zkill and talk to them, if you like. Stop being obtuse. My point was that the type of player who actually screams, rages, throws a fit and quits the game over taking a PVP loss in pretty rare in my book, and I have only actually seen it happen a few times. You're being difficult on purpose, and it makes any type of rational conversation with you quite difficult. You also seem to keep making this claim that we somehow target players based on age, or somehow go after "new" players - and you could not be more wrong if you tried. However, you'd need to actually look at a few hundred killmails and stop being, well, obtuse :P

You are relying on third hand information that has no basis in reality, and when someone like me takes the time, in a very polite way, to attempt to show you that you might be wrong, you become very difficult to have a conversation with and super defensive. Again, this makes any form of actual conversation pretty much pointless. You have already made up your mind, and it seems to be (I'm going to paraphrase here)

It was quite obvious you had no idea we did that on a pretty regular basis, and I (very politely, I might add!) informed you of evidence that might help show you that your idea has already been implemented. There's no need to get all snarky and rude about it. I'm sorry if the 60 I have managed is not amazing enough for you, but be fair to me - Lucas has never killed one. Hardly makes you seem very rational when you give me a hard time for only managing 60 :-)

We are a very open to all sort of alliance - and the corp you are looking at there, "New Order Logistics" has some rather fine players in it. It also has some who still have a lot to learn. They serve as a sort of "feeder corp" for other groups to pull from. Pretty common stuff :)

Exactly, so when you said: "By mining with a tanked ship - you are following the CODE." you were wrong, since a tanked ship is not following the code if AFK or part of an excessive fleet.

So no, I didn't fail at it, not even remotely. Perhaps you failed to read the part of the post you were responding to where it stated that mining should be done AFK in a tanked ship.

No thanks. And I'm not being obtuse. At no point did I say the players scream and rage over it at all. All I stated is that the mining that doesn't work is solo mining in crappy ships, tanked ships have a lower yield, and a mass of AFK tanked ships is victorious. So some people looking for a way to mine and make their free battleships will see that the best solution is to sit multiple tanked ships AFK for long periods of time. Those who decide to instead follow the code will mine less and less efficiently. Therefore the result of you enforcing the code is that there are more AFK miners, more bots, more multiboxers and less competition from code compliant miners. If you wanted to stop botters you would target botters.

Not even remotely. I don't think you make people quit EVE and I don't GRR you at all. You, your code and your permits are irrelevant. The OP is asking if there's a point in buying one, and the answer is no.

I am well aware that you attempt to gank a few, but they are hardly your prime targets and the amount you kill is inconsequential. Considering you've supposedly got trillions of isk in donations to the code, I'd expect to see more of an effort if your true goal was to get rid of botters and multiboxers.

And as for me killing them, I've been in fleet ganking orcas many times in the ice interdictions, but that's beside the point, since I'm not the one screeching about how my entire goal in EVE is to rid the universe of bot aspirant behaviour.
