EVE General Discussion

That seems like a bit of hyperbole. If they are really sending racist messages they and their mains should be banned if not muted for offensive language. Seems like a fairly simple thing to screenshot and report for unless I've been gone longer than I thought and people are allowed to say whatever they want now lol.

Never said they use offensive language but their doctrine is definitely Racist towards players who engage in Mining. They also discriminate and persecute them as well.

Racist is a person who believes that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.

I find the whole CODE thing silly, but the fun kind of silly. Like, going to a carnival and getting your face painted by an artist sort of silly.

I've ganked miners, but I didn't cite any reason beyond "because I can". I've never done it to upset someone, promote or disrupt some behavior, generate a profit, or anything like that. I'm not in it for the tears either. - one guy I ganked complained that he couldn't afford a better DCU (he had a meta 0, not even a named one), so I gave him 10 mil to replace his ship and buy better equipment.

I like it as a change of pace and a feat of discipline. Perhaps yes, a gank is down to equations, but there's still a lot of variables and a lot that can go wrong. Trying to track down idle miners, trying to find them in systems with a low enough security rating to give you time to pull off the gank, trying to scan them without them noticing or getting suspicious, calculating the EHP of their fit, clandestinely making bookmarks, try to warp in and stick the landing perfectly and hope the guy hasn't moved in the meantime...it's a lot of hassle and there's a reason I do it so very infrequently. Heck the only reason I got my sec status so low isn't from ganking a lot; it's from accidentally podding a guy.

So citing a "code of conduct" seems entirely superfluous to me. But I won't frown upon people doing their RP thing; it's their game and their way to have fun. My fun is being able to pull it off when I have the patience for it.

Nope. Doesn't help but I will give you credit for doing a nice play on my name. Also good job of researching the meaning of the word 'Jihad' and posting it from Wikipedia.

According to the Middle East Forum, the term Jihad in many contexts means "fighting" even though there are other words in Arabic that are used more often to portray the act of making war, such as qital or harb. In the Qur'an and in later Muslim usage, Jihad is commonly followed by the expression "fi sabil Illah", meaning "in the path of God."

After the Qur'an, the Hadith (collection of writings about the sayings and acts of the prophet) is the second most important source of Islamic law (Shari'a). In Hadith collections, Jihad means "armed action".

Anyway, the term is fitting and if you don't like it, well .................

I never thought the Federal Navy Academy would engange in minerbumping as their main activity. Who are you talking about when you refer to "your" members?

Racism implies discrimination based upon one's race or ethnicity, miners are neither a race nor an ethnic group; ergo it's not racism.

While CODE. may indeed persecute people based upon their occupation and state of awareness, or lack thereof, it is by no means racist.

Throwing out socially charged words such as racist does nobody any favours, it merely shows your ignorance.

Save your space bucks and find a quieter system to mine.
