Crime & Punishment

Why do they do it?
Do they think it'll affect in the slightest a ganker's business?
Extra: pizza or burgers?

I'm absolutely curious on the matter since it seems pointless to dec people that can be shot for free

CODE do war dec's themselves which must mean that they have characters that are not -10. Currently you have 3 active wars started by your alliance and another pending, and when I look down your list of past wars you have a huge number of past aggressor wars and very few against you, if you were made up just of gankers you would not do that. so it has an impact on CODE. Semtex Attor is one of the hunter killers for example who specialises in decking small helpless indy corps.

In the past you had a larger war dec group most of which decamped to mercs, I did have some fun with them at one point, only smart de-aggressing on the part of a CODE player saved him from losing a ship on a bait I did.

Entities like VMG, PIRAT and Public Enemy who have currently war decked your alliance have fast lock gate camps set up in the main pipes and they will impact freighter ganking with Talos's, so it is SB's only, that is an impact.

At this point whoever funded them has had an impact, slight as it is, though the mercs could have done it on their own back due to burn Jita and the opportunity to blap Talo's and the like in and around Jita.

Sorry to pop your little bubble of satisfaction, but with the amount of wars they have, and the places where CODE. members are operating, I so very highly doubt they even care lol

The amusing thing about these type of threads Dom is that CODE is desperately trying to stay relevant or have an impact. Someone linked in AG chat Smurf's blog, to be honest I could not help myself and jumped in and had a look, and it was just so bad, obviously in the same vein as miner bumping.

The first thing which amused me was suggesting that AG did not know that the anti-Smurf player in a thrasher was failing to save any victims, of course we knew that, but he was having fun and that was all that really mattered, to go into a long winded blog post on that was truly amazing and I found it extremely funny. In affect shooting ships that cannot shoot back is no different in affect to shooting ships that are about to be concorded, though racing CONCORD is difficult, Smurf is having fun and making ISK and taht player was having fun and making a little ISK.

I was interested in the Griffin setup and when one player was doing it I used an alt to give him remote sensor boosts, we saved two out of eight, but those two were killed the next system along by the relentless smurf, even with the boosts we realised that when smurf landed he had a period to pick his time to lock and shoot and for the Griffin it was difficult to pick right moment to get the faster lock on to then ECM him. I had one session and decided it was not worth doing.

Smurf also suggested that this DCM mining fleet thing was me suggesting that as a CODE idea, but that came from Remiel Pollard and we saw a gank carried out by multiple toons all in DCM, which made me laugh, so I warned people of the risk. Since that point we found out that it will require the player to aggress the mining fleet, so no issue.

Another thing Smurf mentioned which I found really funny was my noticing Mr Vitrix linked with a corp who had a Citadel in Sarum Prime, he seemed to be disappointed ttat I mentioned it as being linked to him potentially and that I had not war decked it, but that Citadel was already reinforced by P I R A T and we only picked up on it just before the final timer, why war dec something that was so efficiently blown up by P I R A T, I watched it blow up and the salt from the citadel owner was evident, I would not call Pi I R A T noobs.

Like all CODE propaganda it was truly badly done, we had a new player having fun blapping the already successful Smurf alt, so what, he was having fun and he was for a while making ISK, up until someone put MTU's down and that caused him to get rather upset and gave Smurf the idea for his blog.

There are a lot of new players jumping into AG at times and yesterday I had to put someone right on the fact that fleets make no difference in hisec in terms of aggression mechanics, but I have to ask you CODE players just because someone said that in AG does it make it in your heads that AG players think that fleets enable you to do things without going suspect etc. If that is what you think more fool you.

I find Aaaargh immensely funny and dedicated, but I had to laugh at that blog effort and thought it was a good place to point it out here.

One final laugh, as for Aaaargs scouts I shot one with an alt and failed, Arrggggh put 25m KR on him so I left him in lowsec for a month, no joy for you there, but of course I don't know what I am doing

Have fun, because I rather enjoyed it.

Yes I did expect you to read it, I just read all of that blog post, I just wonder if some of you chaps really believe what you write?

Yes I have seen the HSM one, are you saying that talking about a campaign of ganking scouts or ganking a bumper is in some way wrong, only you can answer that. Some times they write in the same style as CODE which is funny, but it is tongue in cheek.

Anyway have fun, which is the main thing, o7

lol get out pubbie

People hire them, because they have more players active in highsec to kill them. We had our share of fun with CODE before too...

I know full well that James315 was in the Goons, but so are many people who are now referred to as pubbies, Vily, Fawlty7 are two such high level examples.

I have pointed out for years that CODE is actually part of the Goons and people in CODE have tried to down play that in the forums, so I find your reply rather interesting. So you have confirmed what I always knew but what some CODE did not want to say and attacked me for saying, to be honest one would have to be a blithering idiot to think there was no link between the two, but that was not the objective of my question., thanks for being honest though.

That is another bit of a twist and turn Dom.

So you are at 4.9 security status, as I said not all of CODE are -10 and you are a good example of that, so value for the war deckers and those that paid them.

I know most mercs that dec CODE.
They won't change their habits just to go maybe have a chance at a guy that isn't -10.0 lol
I remember a war where CODE. was our target (mind you I had been with then and my ceo knew), I recall seeing loyal with a positive sec status, neuting me out, but I don't remember the others on the gate camp shooting him.

Most groups have dudes with ganking alts or are ex-gankers themselves, so they won't bother shooting other than to say "hey look, you who paid us to shoot people that anyone can shoot, we killed a couple of them... Ty for the isk"
