Crime & Punishment

Better celebrate the only way I know how, by burning a miner.

Its like the plaintive wail every time they kill a freighter "AG fail again" which ignores the other ten freighters getting through, double yawn...

What? What are they suppose to kill every single one that jumps in? Are they flying dreads?

Now, now, Dracvlad.

"Every player who has joined EVE for the purpose of enforcing the Code; every player who heard about EVE because of us, and every player who biomassed and quit the game for the [very] same reason. Every news article or forum post or SoundCloud recording or YouTube video or conversation in local that has been centered on the Code.

Every player who stopped doing whatever it was that he was doing before he became an Agent. Every miner who gave up mining, every nullsec player who rolled a highsec gank alt. Every industrial corp that suffered an awox or a corp theft or was forced to dissolve, every alliance that suffered a wardec, every miner and freighter who didn't know what bumping was until his ship went careening off into space.

Every carebear who received a crash course in the exotic mechanics of aggression and duels and can-flipping and salvage-stealing and remote-repping. Everyone who learned about scamming and isk-doubling and corp roles.
Every post, every view, every comment on MinerBumping and all of the Agent blogs and rebel blogs that spun off from it.
Everyone who tried to gank for the first time, or who organized into an Anti-Ganker fleet, and every skill trained for ganking or anti-ganking.

Everyone who cried to CCP and begged them for nerfs; every nerf proposal that has been analyzed, discussed, tested, accepted, and rejected.

Everyone who remained at their keyboard, or checked for reds in local, or swapped out yield in favor of tank, or traded in their Hulk in favor of a Skiff, or put bulkheads on their freighter, or limited their cargo value, or brought an escort, or a web alt, or scouted out a gate, or viewed an intel channel, or checked a killboard for activity; everyone who took an alternate route or traveled at an alternate time, or mined or ran missions in a more remote location."

All of that came from The Code, from James 315. But we New Order Agents are charitable folk; perhaps our definition of 'fail' differs from yours!

My nipples explode with sensual delight!!!

Happy CODE Day everybody!!!

To be fair, on the CODE website, they do make sweeping and grandiose claims that all freighters and miners and whatnot in highsec are operating illegally (and are thus subject to termination if they don't have a permit), so it's not unreasonable to assume that they'd go after ALL of them

That was exactly the point I was making, thank you.

Another wondrous stupid code post... Bring back gelvon we hadn't have enough of the dumbest posts of the month yet.

This kind of nonsensical goalpost shifting is literally the only way anti-gankers can even hope to claim victory.

Quite correct, Jonah; but not that fizzy schyte which passes for cider in most establishments. The real honest-to-goodness head-pounding muck which my forebears supped in - Rysrudh (Redruth)!
