Crime & Punishment

And now I'm laughing myself silly. Thank you to everyone, especially Revis.

Highly relevant.

*munches popcorn*

And I love torping old Drac's battleships in the WoWships beta....oh the rage, the sweet, sweet rage.

Nice to see he is just as much of an asshat in EVE as he is in that game as well.

TLDR of the thread

After losing two freighters and 800+ mil pods in two days, of which one pair was freighter and pod lost by loyalanon's (Code executor guy) npc corp alt, while he was going *gasp* afk, loyal gets a bit too touchy and outright kicks a corp from Code alliance for losing a bait orca.

After some failed damage control, they rethink the impact of this incident and decide to throw it all on the guy baiting and probably present it as a personal failure (of the baiting guy, not loyal, naturally). Thread is then derailed from the initial story into personal bickering.

Spin doctors at their finest.

The following is a fictional recounting of historical events. Names and places have been changed to protect the “innocent”.


The story begins with Poor Okra Pilot looking for fresh victims to trap into attacking his Okra. He proceeds to be distracted by an outside event or shiny object for five seconds and is promptly attacked by Carebear provocateurs. Unable to save the Okra, he promptly saves his own skin and safety. He is promptly called to Codiet Onion HQ by the 3+1=5 to answer for his crimes……


Poor Okra Pilot: “I serve the Codiet Onion!”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “Enough of that! Confess that you are part of the Great Carebear conspiracy and you and your alts will be left unharmed. CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “I was only AFK……”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “AFK? AFK? That is a provocation of the highest order against the Codiet Power!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “That may be, but it was only for five…….”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “Do you realize what you have done? You have sabotaged the Codiet Onion killboard! CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “I was bumped…….”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “You were bumped? Here in the Codiet Onion, we do the bumping! That is no defense! CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “It wasn’t fair! There were seven…….”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “Fair? Fair? What part of the Codiet Onion is fair? CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “But it was so SHINY!!!!! Look at my killboard. Have I not served the Co……”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “You are a traitor to the Codiet Onion! Does not a broken clock perform accurately twice a day? CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “You have gotten it all wron…….”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “Has not the Codiet Onion given you everything? Have you no shame for your crimes? CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “I….”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “There is no further need for your evasions and obfuscations! I once again tell you that if you confess, you and your alts will be allowed to live in peace. CONFESS!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “I…..”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “BAH! We have no more time for this! You will be informed of the charges against you at your trial by the 3+1=5 Prosecutor in front of the Troika of the Supreme Codiet! Do you understand your rights?”
Poor Okra Pilot: “Rights? I don’t even know the charges ag……”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “That was a trick question….. As a traitor to the Codiet Onion, you have no rights! Guards!”
3+1=5 Guard: “Sir?”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “Take this bot-aspirant scum back to the isolator! All hail littlejimmie3+1=5!”
Poor Okra Pilot: “All hail lit……”
3+1=5 Interrogator: “Oh, shut up.”

To be continued......

What's an Okra?

You don't have time to post - you need to finish the tale!

Ahh nice to know. Thanks.

I wouldn't want to 'pilot' one, but each to their own I guess.
To those that do, or have a 'friend' that does. If it gets stuck, you could always tell the nurse you fell down the stairs.

Come on man that's not even funny.... I tried to get a laugh out of it but there aren't any in there...

I love it when the spin is added to a situation people know nothing about. It's cute.

I'm gonna clear up some things...since I was involved in the aftermath of said incident.

Aust lost an orca at a hub trying to bait and not paying attention. The reddit bs is just that...bs. Anyone who can read a km can see it's bs. Frankly I'm surprised a measly orca kill is so important to you guys..especially since we haven't seen much of you during the war. If a single orca kill is big news to you...more power to you. It's just another ship lost in the turmoil that is Eve. I salute you..good kill.

First off, the loss was an issue for a few reasons. One: Code war corps typically don't do hubs as primary means of hunting wts..for obvious reasons that every veteran PvPer knows...bumps, neutrals, baiting, etc..the list goes on. Though we have been known to do it on occaision, we typically leave that kind of activity to those who specialize in it. Second: We have a zero tolerance policy for stupid losses..had it been a combat ship..things would have been a lot different..a gf would have been given, and we would have moved on.

There were already talks about kicking him from corp for reasons not related to this incident..it was just the icing on the cake. Though I think Aust is a cool guy, for the entire duration of his time in corp, he had not once joined any ops or assisted the alliance in any way. In fact, as far as we can tell, he never even left the system of the incident. If someone is not willing to be an active part of a corp, especially a war corp, then there is really no place for them there. He was being given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to stay..until this incident. Being a cool guy and an asset or liability to a corp are 2 different things. It is not personal. Loyal made a decision, and the Code leadership stands by his decision, including the CEO of the corp that was affect by it. Many may not understan..but there is obviously a lot about Code people don't seem to understand.

He tried a common tactic, and failed..like many other have. Nothing special tbh. It was a combination of circumstances that led to the outcome..not a single event. You can place all the spin on it you want..it's part of the meta. Take down a 10bil+ ship..then post some meta fun. An orca is hardly news worthy imo..especially when it took a mob to do it...that's just my opinion.

Aaaaaanyways. there's the facts..take them as you will...that is all
