Crime & Punishment

All isk goes back into the code, either replacement ships, shares in the new order.

Also when ur ganking billions you get to have some fun ships like smart bombings bs's and have some fun like the link below.

edit link that work's.

CODE. pays dividends out every time they gank someone, the fact that dividends are paid out in lols and tears instead of isk is irrelevant. I consider my minuscule share purchase a good investment, it's paid for itself many times in lols and I even get to make isk from it occasionally via informed decisions regarding the market.

Disco Inferno seems appropriate.

I have done a small amount of ganking on another character who is not in the new order at all. I asked James 315 to reimburse me for the Catalyst losses and he did so no questions asked. I made sure to link the killmails of each Retriever and Covertor

So the share purchases are not a scam, they go to reimburse pilots who lose many more Catalyst than I have so they can patrol high sec for bot aspirants.

Folks, how are you getting upset over a small 10 mil permit? That's nothing. That's one half-decent low-sec relic site that you completed in 5 minutes, c'mon.

It's the circle of ISK. Gank leads to rage. Rage leads to Tears. Tears lead to Funny Story, Funny story leads to Donations. Donations lead to new Gank Ships. Gank ships lead to Ganks.

The 4SRS anti-gankers don't seem to grasp that every time they ragepost, throw fits, demand nerfs, etc, they're just feeding into that cycle.

Given the option between a 10mil permit sale, and a raging non-compliant miner, CODE will pick the miner any day. The permit is just a hook for future gameplay. A person raging now is worth so much more than 10mil isk.

Which part of New Order of Highsec did you fail to comprehend?

While CODE. may make the odd trip elsewhere to shoot at people, their main area of operations is highsec, it's up to nullsec residents to police their own space.

Again, my point went over your head. The shares purchased are flat-out donations to CODE leadership. That is over 400 bil that people have donated to CODE's leaders. That is the heart of the scam. Anyone who has bought shares has been scammed.



Read closely. I said CODE was run by goons. Not that all CODE members are goons. The people who got the 400+ bil they have made in share sales are goons.

It isn't a conspiracy that 440,876 shares have been sold at 1 mil ISK/share.

How is it a scam when all of the people who purchase "shares" already know prior to purchase that it is actually a donation to fund the New Orders ship replacement program?

For it to be a scam there has to be deceit, James is pretty upfront about how he uses the proceeds from shares.

You appear to be getting hung up on the word shares, don't; it's used as a figure of speech, not literally.

I love how the argument about why CODE. is bad has morphed into my space wallet is more space rich than your space wallet.
I play this game for fun and entertainment, not as a career. When I purchased shares, I never expected any form of dividends to be paid out as it clearly states, all I expect is to have a reimbursement fund and for cats to be provided when I am adding player made content. While I might be the richest person in EVE, I would like to think that I would fall into at least 'middle class' regarding my assets & ISK. This being said, I have no problem giving away a few PLEX or hundreds of million of ISK every month to help fund and sponsor an in game entity that provides the previously mention fun and entertainment factor. I rationalize this in game ISK expense along the lines of 'POS fuel'... I have never expected to be rewarded with loot & ISK from various endeavors that I have participated in the CODE. I just want to have fun, be entertained, and hopefully be provided with cats. Just ask yourself this, if we were in this strictly to become space rich, not only would that make us like bot aspirant miners, but why would we attack empty freighters?

To be fair, CODE. did invade Deklein once and almost killed a Roqual, but we dropped supers or something.

Tear Jar you bring up an interesting point that I've wondered about. How many refuse to pay for the permit because they think it's extortion, scam, etc. and how many refuse because they want to continue bot aspirant behavior and afk mine? I know it makes no difference to the ganker just curious.
