Crime & Punishment

Thank you for necroing this thread. It's still so funny.

What's even more funny the person that necroed the thread is appropriately named "Retardo"....

I do look a like too!! But seriously lets talk more about this issue..

It would be nice if they actually didn't back down when a miner stood up to them. Maybe the Code is not that important to them after all.

Erhm, I've been properly fitting my ships for the past 4 years as a player. You guys have been around for 2 years. Where's your excuse for the other 2? How I fit had nothing to do with your organization, and everything to do with the fact I know how to fit a ship properly (okay EFT helps me but I can still read and figure things out :P ).

On the subject of ISK generation, any smart EVE Online player knows increasing ISK intake at the expense of a proper defensive fit in a place like New Eden is a stupid strategy. It's all about balancing ISK versus risk. Players need to understand why things mean in the Show Info display, not just what they mean.

You've tried to skirt around the consequences to us miners for not paying for a permit. I believe the declaration is the destruction of non-compliant and non-licensed equipment if we become resistant to bumping. There's also the point that miners are required to be respectful to gankers. I've shown that I've been disrespectful and do not take your organization (as well as griefers and gankers in general) seriously.

The question that remains is what the New Order is going to do with misbehaving players like myself. I think we all know the answer to that is going to be.

Now you are just being silly instead of explaining your lack of enforcement of a flawed strategy. Get over yourself.

Now, if you do not mind, I got ore and ice to mine. Without a permit, I might add.

Fly safe.

"8. You may have your own opinion on the activities of the New Order and the sheer gall of Mr James 315, but he seems an intelligent, articulate and dedicated sort of a guy wanting to make a profit in this world of New Eden. After all, don’t we all? And I may yet pay him his indulgence."

He might be, but there are other players who are intelligent and articulate. Is James 315 creating original sandbox content in the game with his New Order and the Code? Not even remotely so: it's a cheap copy of Helicity Boson's early Hulkageddon events, and even cheap copy is being too kind. From what I've read in local, his agents are not really good at what they are doing.

If he wants to stand out as more just a "me too!" alpha follower, he has to be both original and consistent. That is what set The Mittani and Helicity Boson apart from the rest of the pack.

Your tears are delicious.

The point you are missing here is nothing that actually happens is ever because of CODE. Never have I seen an alliance that matters so little and affects so little people when considering the effort they put into it. What you're doing here is called creating a self-induced delusion. I know you guys at CODE have heard that term before, so no need for me to define it.

Gevlon Goblin has had a much bigger affect on miners than CODE has in the entirety of it's history. Let's be clear here: One person had a greater affect and reached his goals better than an entire 200+ person alliance.
I guess at that point, I'd be self-inducing a delusion too...

So, the New Order matters so little that you're here talking about them on the forums, created a blog to talk about them a little bit more, then change your ingame methods and gameplay style to adjust to the New Order's presence?

Right, OK, carry on good sir.

Hello Ehnea


I never before encountered someone unhappy because he/she does not get ganked. It is obvious that you tried everything to present yourself as a target, but while doing so you did in fact the opposite.

The CODE is a set of rules to improve the citizens of highsec, especially the miners with the attitude that highsec is a save place, that they can play in complete isolation, don't need to care about how to properly fit a ship and are entitled to grind ISK while doing something other than playing EVE (AFK).

You demonstrated time and time again that you are well aware of the game mechanics, even in this forum post. You are active in local and demonstrate that you are not AFK and playing this game in isolation. You are not mining 24/7 but show up occasionally to mine a few rocks and then you do something else. You are always polite in local, greet the Agents and talk to them.

My dear Ehnea, you are the prototype miner of our new highsec, you are the future. I dream of a highsec where every miner behaves like you.

Now on the topic of the permit. Let's consult the CODE:


You see, the permit is only a small part of the requirements of the CODE. Since you are a fully compliant miner in respect to all the other rules you are not a priority target at all. There are always some worse violators than you who need a wake up call with antimatter. You have seen them yourself in the system and facepalmed because of their behavior.

If all the miners where like you, there would probably be no need for the New Order because highsec would already be the place we try to create.

I see you in Abudban my friend.
