Hello, I'm Tisiphone and I'm a gankster.

Or at least I was, not any more. I've left CODE. I've resisted the urge for just over a month now. I still shoot things, but it's all legal, no concord.

Curious about what it's really like in the criminal underworld?

Want to wish me best of luck in my future 100% legitimate and wholly above board enterprises?

Wondering why I gave up the incredibly lucrative gankster life, even though it comes with so many perks including $$$, groupies and adoring worshipers?

Then this is the thread for you, I've posted it here in general instead of C&P because this thread is about not being involved in any C or P, so it wouldn't fit there, not at all.

I'll be back after my morning run, feel free to ask me anything, 100% honest answers are guaranteed*

Don't get me wrong, I'm no huge fan of CODE, but they do have an extremely profitable setup. Why in the world would you turn away from the mad iskies and thrill of making people cry?

Honestly now , how long did it take to get your head back the right way around?



literally now, not "ethically" (seriously like 180° or something!)

Drama Internal politics of course.

EDIT: This thread could go places. Especially if CODE roleplays a little and brands you a Suppressive Person.

1. Boxers or briefs?

Neither, I'm out there Rowells and I'm loving every minute of it! I'm free and unfettered.

2. Can I have your stuff?

Sure thing, but there's a bank processing fee of 1 plex to unlock my vast space-price space-fortune, once you send me the administration fee I can then share my vast fortune with you.

3. Why in the world would you turn away from the mad iskies and thrill of making people cry?

At some point you have enough mad iskies.


4. I do like that.

As do I.

5. What are you going to do now?

Change things up a bit. Instead of following the teachings of James 315, Supreme Protector of highsec, I'll be following the teachings of Chance Ravine, Postmaster General of wormhole space.

6. Honestly now , how long did it take to get your head back the right way around?

Supisingly quick, all neck problems are solvable with enough force applied according to this chiro I went to. Since then however Ive developed a rather serious complexion and breathing problem. It's very pale, and I don't. Also, my eyes have since been described as corpse-like, which hurts my feelings.

7. This thread could go places

I like your optimism.

8. So when did you realize you were no longer a horrible person and knew you didn't need to attempt to hurt others to make yourself feel better?

Hurt others? How? It's a video game.

Didn't answer, only asked more questions.

Typical, can't even follow his own guarantee correctly.

I always wondered, does the regular newbro Catalyst pilot get any cut of the loot? Or is it just the SRP and Jimmy sleeps on mountains of PLEX?

On the big fleets you are paid in tears & explosions

Solo or on the small fleets they follow necromonger rules, you keep what you kill.

I must admit I'm a little glad to see you moved on, because now I can reclaim Uttindar as my hunting ground.

Well, after I get bored of popping every MTU in highsec that is, which might take a while because I'm having a blast.

All the best with your future endeavors!

GL Tisiphone Dira, you can do it! If you can get past the 30-day mark, you'll have it whipped! The key is to immediately have a replacement activity. Perhaps something putting your skills at not being a mouth-breather communicator in Local could be interesting. Smile

Do you think the Teachings of Chance Ravine, Postmaster General of wormhole space are better than the teachings of James 315, Supreme Protector of highsec? Would you even go so far as to say that the latter are false?

9. All the best with your future endeavors!

May you rid the universe of the MTU scourge.

10. Are any permits you issued still valid?

So long as you follow the new halaima code of conduct I don't see why not. Why not bling your bio with more though, just to be sure.

11 Perhaps something putting your skills at not being a mouth-breather communicator in Local could be interesting

thats the thing about wormhole space, you tend to keep quiet in local :( all these mouth-breaking communicator skills and nowhere to apply them!

12., Do you think the Teachings of Chance Ravine, Postmaster General of wormhole space are better than the teachings of James 315, Supreme Protector of highsec? Would you even go so far as to say that the latter are false?

They aren't better or worse, just different. The peoples of the two spaces are different, and have a different culture. The highsec carebears need a firmer hand to keep them in line.

13. how will you handle players shooting back?

They can what now?

14. can i put your head in a bowling ball polisher?

If that's a euphamism, sure.
