I don't buy implants very often. Nore do people who do often pvp imo, because of podding. And how can mission rewards be isk sinks when they generate isk?


I think (I'm just guessing here) that he's talking about when you trade isk combined with LP in order to obtain LP goods. That being said I'm sure that is such a minute amount of isk that it's effects are not significant. I could be wrong though.

I have spoken to loyal and he seems like a decent chap but we disagreed one thing - ganking and its purpose

it is a weird place I find myself ... worried about the the OP while in the same breath enjoying the weakening of the code self delusion

Shocked

Veers do you understand that you are the most effective weapon in the code arsenal?

and I say this as a A.G

While I agree that having a superb opponent such as myself is certainly Code's #1 achievement in the game...none can deny that their organization is crumbling, and is in its final death spiral. And let me tell you, that wasn't due to AG (whose own mod, Gorila Venzaga, turned out, to the shock of many (myself not included of course), to be a secret CODE spy), or to Marmite (who failed miserably to stop Code, and made themselves look foolish in the process), or to the various ragtag anti-gank fleets (which all failed miserably, and were often led by code spy Gorila), or to all the failed wardeccs, the idiotic bounties, or the various comically incompetence anti-code alliances.

What stopped Code? What stopped them was decent people (led by mysefl), who stood up against the griefing, the tear collection, the real life harassment, the inducement of rage, the endless curbstomping of pathetic miners and haulers, and all the other vicissitudes that code stands for. Shining a bright light on people doing very bad things has a tendency to put a stop to it. Sure, some may credit CCP and their crackdowns on this behavior, but I beg to differ. Code wasn't toppled by game mechanics changes or bans for harassment, code fell because its own leadership started to question its role in the game, the morality of its underlying behavior, and whether constant suicide ganking to generate rage and tears is an activity that decent people would be engaged in. One by one its leaders have faced those questions, and quite rightly opted to retire from Eve life.

And that, sir, is the greatest victory a man can achieve. Not defeating your opponents in battle (when they can replace their losses and return another day), but rather defeating them in the war of ideas of values, and getting them to voluntarily abandon their own positions. That is what Veers has accomplished but AG never has - getting code to see why their campaign of unrestricted suicide ganking is fundamentally bad for Eve, and should be terminated. And not just getting them to see that, but actually getting them to act on it.

When all you have left is John E Normus (get it? not funny) and Miss Foxxie, you really have hit rock bottom. They might as well rename it the code organization for the love and cuddling of pink teddy bears and barbie dolls. So yes, let them keep spouting their lie that I am their best recruiting tool, etc...It's a falsehood they will clutch to as they slowly descend 6 feet under.

But you didn't stop CODE, Veersie.

You haven't even come close.

I like this strange fantasy world he lives in, and no, I'm not talking about EVE.

It's like watching Baghdad Bob announcing how the US attack is failing utterly, while you can see US tanks driving by in the background...........

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

Code activity has cratered...they barely have enough dps to blow up a venture anymore. Their gank fleets are as well attended as meetings of the flat earth society.

Oh, and on a side note.....

Gorila wasn't a spai, or anything else.

From what I've been told, his main reason for defecting was having to put up with YOU.

No, I simply properly diagnosed his frequent bouts of rage as being fundamentally incompatible with being an ardent opponent of suicide ganking. His underlying pathology existed well before I came on the scene, and should have been obvious to AG leadership. Once again, Veers sees where others see naught.

Yes, much like politicians caught in scandal suddenly decide that they have a life outside of politics to attend to. The excuses are legion while the reality is singular. Code leadership has left the game, Veers remains same as ever. To whom does victory accrue?

Veers...you are the only one in denial thinking that somehow the code is dying. You wouldn't know anything about eve if it sat on your face and started to wiggle. You have a truly skewed vision of what is really going on...not to mention your own self worth. So troll on...since it's the only thing that gives you any remote sense of validity. Also...you better pray, or whatever you do, that someday code doesn't die...because then you will return to obscurity and mean absolutely nothing again...since it is code that gave you your sense of purpose to begin with. Remember..there can't be one without the other..what will you whine about if code were to be gone? Oh noes!!! ...but I'm sure you'll find something to feed your undeserved sense of importance and worth. Twisted

A paragraph containing claims to have led decent people against griefing, tear collection etc.; calls miners and haulers pathetic. Also dismissal of any action by CCP, real life commitments etc. having an effect on if people play or not, instead claims that the role of CODE., being morally repugnant in his opinion and not the type of playstyle that decent people follow, is responsible.

Two paragraphs of attacking CODE.s leadership and self promotional bull about how he, and he, alone is responsible for the alleged fall of CODE.~

The last time I saw a pile of steaming dung this big it had Jeff Goldblum standing next to it.
The only person that believes you led anything is yourself, your sense of self importance demands that you take credit regardless.

While Veers is full of trash as usual, he got one (Too bad that it's only one) thing right.
Do nothing AGAINST them. Just do stuff for YOURSELF.
That's the way to do anything. Because hell, if you do something against, you are designed to lose when opposition withdraws.

Wait a minute... Well, I was wrong about Veers. Do FOR is not about him, he-he.

Where do you get your material from? You could blow away most stand up comics. Code was a huge part of the new order, and responsible for a vast majority of the kills. Their activity has fallen to unprecedented lows, and has not been replaced in any notable measure by the activity of others. Face it, Miss Kaely, your side is losing, the new order is collapsing, and highsec PvE player just keep on winning.

(08.02.2015 16:25:07) redacted: Hello everyone,

This is a mail regarding my departure from Eve.

Its been a good 2 years with the New Order of High Sec/Code Alliance and I have come to make alot of good friends/enemies in this game.

I would like to thank everyone for there support and in the help in us achieving some great things while being a part of the New Order.

For me though it is time for me to concentrate on real life and my family hence why I am leaving Eve.

I would like to say a big shout out to John E Normus and Capt Starfox for always being around when we were going through spaceship dramas and the countless hours/days we spent pvping miners.

To The Conference Elite pilots thankyou for making TCE one of the greatest corps in all of eve and I am sure you will still carry the banner for months to come.

I am incredibly proud of what we have all achieved in Eve, and for helping me shove carebear tears up CCP's xxxxx whenever they tried to nerf our playstyle.

It has been an amazing journey through friendships, carebear tears, ts rage, milestones etc but for me real life comes first.

I can be reached on redacted if anyone wants to catch up at anytime, Also please feel free to mail me if any of you come to New Zealand.

To our Saviour James 315, keep rocking on, I will forever be grateful in your belief in me, and in your help that you have given me throughout the last year and a half, it has truly been a pleasure.

To someone in goons can you please pass this message onto all of Mini-luv.

Thankyou all o/

loyalanon

PS - I will occassionally jump on however I wont be on everyday/week etc.



No one cares. CODE is a joke, always has been and always will be, you have done nothing to eve, nothing any other nullsec alliance doesnt do to each other, u didn't drive prices up like u promised, you didn't kill of high sec mining, you didn't even make a dent in eve

Your head = Up your ass
