Crime & Punishment

You look delicious Avellean.

Which system were you running missions in? I'd like to drop by.

You are filtering out the fun people.
If everyone is skilled, competitive, aggressive and cunning, EVE would be even more boring.

I suggest you target more of the "experienced" miners, who have no excuses anymore, and leave the newbies to breathe a little.
Many dont mine because they like mining, they do it to learn the game (interface, skills etc). It's an activity where you have some time to read.

If you think you'll convince them to switch to combat skills and go pvp, you are wrong.

While you were talking about how many noobs are getting ganked, I went to the killboards and looked (like I suggested you should earlier). Out of the first 10 or so kills I saw, 2 were of one-month-old characters (plus a younger character who seemed unlikely to be a genuinely new player). The rest were old players in barges and players in exhumers, who should know better.

But they don't. They get ganked multiple times in the same system within an hour rather than move around a bit. They fit T2 afterburners on their mackinaws instead of making good bookmarks. They, almost invariably, do not have decent tanks on their ships. They like to mine in .5s, apparently without having standings set and keeping even a casual eye on local. Etc.

Sure, events like the venture ganking competition are disproportionately targetting new players. But hey. I'd rather learn that highsec isn't safesec by losing a venture than a few months later by losing my first mackinaw. Wouldn't you? Of course, these players could just use google, or join a corp, or read the forums, or stuff like that, which would go a long ways to protect them from ganks.


I need about 36 hours until my catalysts are ready for action with basic t1 fits and skills. Convenient that the orca I'm usually using on mining ops will work so well as a staging point even after my catalyst alts are -10!

"The New Order transcends corporations, alliances, and coalitions. There's no membership application or skill requirement to join. Everyone in EVE who takes any action to support our cause is an Agent of the New Order."

So close enough.

Everyone in CODE. is a member of the New Order, but not every member of the New Order is in CODE., so no, not close enough.

Not asinine, accurate. Only CODE. members are members of CODE.

You're missing the obvious, a ganker in an NPC corp is by definition not a member of the CODE. alliance, or any other player organised corp or alliance for that matter.

315th Circuit Court Declares War Against Evil Young Flesh [Avellean's previous corp]

I see you created a new corp as soon as the wardec hit. malcovas Henderson is spot on about you.

LoL i just station spin in HS now days anyway so the wardec is kinda pointless. You assume im some HS player but im not, just hanging out in HS for a bit before i go back to null. I see you are a CODE alt alliance though, good to know.
