No, this has to stop

this is not "game play"

this is full on griefing, end of story

This IS in fact gameplay..fully sanctioned. When you join Eve, you join a galaxy in turmoil..welcome to Eve.

This is NOT griefing...just because an action in a game brings you grief, (in which case you should probably search yourself for the answer to why a game actually causes you rl emotion) does NOT mean it is griefing. Again, Eve is a game like no other. Backstabbing, theiving, scamming, killing, and corp infiltration are all the order of the day in this game. Adapt or die.

I understand Eve is not everyones kind of game...but for some it is. If the way Eve is played bothers you, you are playing the wrong game. It grows tiring hearing the word "griefed" or "griefing". The definition of the word has been so skewed and is not the same in Eve as it is in other games. It would do you good to read up on Eve and what it's all about. CCP Falcon explained it best.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..

I sure hope you are right and that they are actually role playing. I have my doubts as that level of extremism is NOT playful. Nor does it match any role playing I have seen across many RPGs. Their treatise is very similar to the philosophies and practices of the Thrid Reich and ISIS - this bothers me a lot. I'm okay with getting ganked and having the pirate open the cockpit window and urinate on my frozen corpse, but these guys are far beyond self righteousness and well into the realm of extreme doctrines.

Thhe "red ink" thing is definitely harrassement if specific people are targeted for daring to disagree and/or not follow the treatise and/or get pissed if they are ganked via a nasty gram, far more than targets of opportunity invading their claimed space. Also, I don't usually say "gf" to someone who ganks a ship with no weapons and no way to fight back. "gf" is reserved for close contests that may have gone either way, that are a real challenge.

Really, they are saying that "you must play the way we dictate, or we will harass you". I'll bet this is not legal and yet CCP allows it. Hmm.


Hey CODE, I found yall another customer. He thinks yall should be goose stepping across Poland instead of Ganking people in a video game.

Oh how did I miss this gem.

Since when does roleplaying have to be "playful", and I have seen this level of dedication* in roleplayers before.
Consider the lore in this game regarding both the empire factions and the pirate factions. There is a reason I went Gallente.
To roleplay a loyal Amarrian or Caldari citizen... I'd have trouble. (Diana Kim does a good job)

I am always amused when "legal" gets flung around carelessly, especially in a game.

* or dedication in taking the mickey out of more serious roleplayers. Twisted

The whole threat from CODE thing is being massively overstated. If anything the OP is probably just a Code member seeking to give the movement some well-needed publicity.

Oh dear, The Third Reich AND ISIS in one post...

First of all you should probably calm down, you lost that fail fitted Mackinaw over a month ago.

Post like yours show exactly why the New Order is needed. If we leave miners to themselves, posts with tears and complaints like yours would be all there is in Highsec. As we all can see from your tear post, you are not yet ready for the sandbox, your thinking is wrong and needs to be adjusted. I mean what if a innocent child reads your post! Do you not care about the children?!

I am sure if you just give it a chance and do away with this evil thoughts, purchase a mining permit and follow the Code you would become a better miner, a better player for sure and I believe also a better person. Please contact your nearest New Order Agent so we can start with the corrective measures.

Do not rebel, as we are only here to help you! Together we create a better highsec!

Yes, extreme doctrines like fitting some tank, not auto-piloting and paying attention to local. What is this game coming to if we can't leave our yield-fit ships unattended in space while we watch Netflix?

Sure, it's definitely "harassement" if I set up my POCO's to charge a higher tax to my rivals, or not allow those that do not acknowledge my claim to a space to dock at my outposts. I think CCP should make it mandatory that you treat all players equally, even if they attack you, insult you, are at war with you or actively resist you in the game. Anything less is just griefing.

Such poor sportsmanship. You know, if a high school basketball team loses by 50 points they are still expected to go out and shake hands with their opponents afterwards. You are entitled to your own views on the matter of course, but denying someone a congratulations for defeating you in a contest or a game is really poor form in most cultures.

The New Order is playing the game as it was originally conceived. They have made a claim to highsec and are out to enforce it so you are suppose to resist and adapt, or claim your own space and defend it. This is not harassment or illegal but actually how New Eden is intended to be. You do not have to play the way the New Order wants - you have much freedom to play the game in many ways, but you are definitely not entitled to play the game in isolation from other players.

Conflict between players is encouraged by CCP and is at the heart of the design of the game.

You just saved me a lot of signs. :)

Nicely pointed out.

Last but not least I´d like to add that I am still waiting on a CODE ganking Crew that is trying to gank my other character when hauling stuff. It never happened and I don´t know a single person who got successfully ganked by CODE. Hell I even afk mined in High-Sec ~8month ago and never had any trouble.
Last but not least I like that we have things like CODE, Marmite, Just4Fun and other organisations like that. They make your life harder and it prevents my hauling from getting dull and boring. Marmite and these other High-Sec mercs rattle the cage that High-Sec is and these low-sec campers like Just4Fun enraging me from time to time and remind me that I should be careful when I hop through gates.

Vote for Pedro \o/ he knows

I use to hate code but i kinda understand what they stand for now and actually agree with what they do, if you guys dont take action in defending yourselves you just die and all this carebear crying for nerfs because you cant make lots of isk and watch netflix gets rather boring.

hey how about actually think about things instead of just running in and setting up sh!t corps because you think you are some sort of leader

Looks like the CODE did another great job here. Very useful information to improve the Eve experience to those who didn't know any better. Looks like CCP were right about CODE and the New Order being good for retention of new players. People should be praising CODE and James 315 a lot more for all the hard work they do to make Eve a much better place.

In high school basketball, one team doesn't start out with three times as many players and submachine guns.


You're perfectly free to gank people, and I hope that CODE continues to. I, personally, look forward to the day when I can kill the hapless with the best of them! But don't be a jerk and expect or demand that they kiss your *** afterwards; You are killing people in onesided fights! Own up to it! Recognize that in their eyes you are playing the villain and accept the delicious tears and hate that comes with it. Asking the nerd whom you have just swirlie'd to thank you for the pleasure is gross. That's bully behavior and goes above and beyond simply ganking.
