Crime & Punishment

well if I knew where to find him i might get a crew together and try for that. Any of you NO's knight and agents willing to give that info?

And one final question; what would you do with James' corpse? Wouldn't it be a much better investment to buy 100 million ISK in shares?

That's not entirely the truth of it.

The true genius of James 315 is the creation of a player initiated campaign to help out active miners in highsec by making mining not only more profitable but also more enjoyable. The Code provides a framework, this much is true, but that framework is there to promote healthy gameplay and mining for mining players.

The Code is a masterful work of compassion and kindness. James 315 must have taken a lot of time to draft the Code for the sole purpose of promoting the well-being of miners.

The New Order of Highsec is a movement that is devoted to removing bots and enhancing the player experience of miners in Highsec. This is a brilliant goal since it is one that players can truly have an impact on by participating.

Bots are a terrible plague in any MMO and, unfortunately, they exist in EVE as well. The most commonly found bot is a mining bot. The New Order of Highsec disrupts the botting activities making the bot worthless to the owner. In the meantime CCP continues their constant vigil and monitoring of information to identify these bots and purge them from the game.

In many ways the players in the New Order of Highsec are like superheroes from comic books. They help the law by doing what the law can't do. When an agent or knight of the New Order spots a bot the call goes out and the bot is either removed from mining range or their ship is destroyed.

The AFK mining thing is a secondary cause (albeit a very important one) of the New Order. AFK mining is almost like a gateway behavior towards botting. What is the real difference between a miner AFK mining and a bot? From a user experience point of view there is no difference. Both AFK miners and bots behave the same way. Both do not respond. Both do not contribute to the potential enjoyment of other players through interaction because there are no interactions. As such, AFK mining is something that needs to be curtailed. AFK mining brings no benefits to those brave and honourable miners who are actually at their keyboards mining.

To active miners AFK miners are a bad thing. AFK miners drive prices down for miners and ice. By disrupting the activities of AFK miners the New Order of Highsec is helping and promoting active miners.

In many ways, the New Order of Highsec is a movement with a lot of heart and filled with noble souls who sacrifice their own time for the benefit of their fellow players. These selfless players know that they may be targeted by upset AFK miners who feel that their not-actually-playing-time is interrupted by their noble efforts. This is something that Agents and Knights accept and understand.

It is unfortunate that there are players who would rather not play the game and support bots by trying to 'fight' the New Order of Highsec but this is EVE and that is their prerogative. I find it telling that so many of these anti-New Order players resort to insults, swearing, and the use unreasonable real life comparisons. I suppose when one is trying to defend not-playing-the-game and botting there isn't a logical argument to hold to.

The Code is EVE.

There is no law in EVE against shooting people, only that you lose your ship if you do so.

Besides, we don't wear blue spandex onsies, either. The analogy is not perfect.

Oh, but in broad terms, of course it can.

Take Batman. The police wherever he lives, they're OK, but nothing special. Pretty slow off the mark, bound up by red tape and paperwork all the time. What's more, they tend to focus on petty criminals, and hardly ever even notice the people pulling off the huge crimes.

Batman, on the other hand, now he's good at justice. He leaves the petty criminals to the police, but when there's a big criminal out there, he doesn't have to wait for some bigwig in a hat to tell him to go; he's out there busting faces and spreading law and Order.

Code: Batman = New Order.
Police = Concord
Petty Criminals = Whoever Concord attacks
Big criminals = Botters and bot-aspirants.

Neither does the New Order, capsuleers are immortal, ergo the new order merely relocates their consciousness via the appropriate use of antimatter.

No, you're missing the point again. If there's a criminal flag, it means they're a petty criminal who Concord somehow managed to notice. If there's not, then they might be a law-abiding citizen or they might be criminal masterminds who've managed to avoid Concord even finding out about them.

I would like to see this proof of all this as I'm sure others would as well. Maybe we would be more willing to accept your actions if you actually provided proof for once. All we have seen are wrecks of comrades and innocent miners and extortion demands with more violence when noncompliance is an issue. Where is the proof of there wrong doing, these criminal actions. If you can not provide this proof then you and the NO are no different then criminals you say you are attacking.
