Greetings and my apologies for the long post.

Before I embraced The Code I was but a simple Highsec miner. I logged in, I mined quietly for a few hours, I logged out. I was away from my keyboard constantly as if I didn't really want to play the game; as if I didn't really want to be here. I felt like I had no purpose other than to mindlessly grind ISK all day in the asteroid belts. New Eden is such a massive place with so much to do and so many people to interact with, but here I was secluding myself from everything and everyone else. Here I was trapped in the same routine, the same cycle day in and day out. I was a bot-aspirant.

Then one day I saw the local channel light up with activity I had only seen in trade hubs. Something exciting had happened. Something exciting had happened in the system I was in; someone was ganked. It was another miner like myself. Their mining ship was annihilated. The local channel was filled with people raging, people laughing, people decrying the attack and people glorifying it. Now, I was already aware of the basic mechanics in New Eden. I knew ganking existed; I knew it was still possible to be attacked by someone in high security space, but I had never seen it happen before. I was intrigued, but not so much that I wanted to try it myself... Not yet, anyway.

It would be some months later after dabbling in mining, industry, ratting and mission running that I once again felt the stagnation that comes with living a life in high security space with little to no player interaction. I've never really been much of a social person to begin with. It's really amazing to myself that I kept playing despite what kind of place New Eden is (and should be). I had been aware of the New Order, but had still never invested any time in learning about them. One day I guess I finally became bored and decided to really look into this ganking business.

After a few quick searches on the internet and perusing the EVE Online forums I found www.MinerBumping.com and the manifestos and business proposals of James 315. I was immediately enthralled. An entire community of people working together? I was amazed. I had always felt like I wanted to join a corporation or help contribute to a goal or a cause, but was always too nervous to ask to join or was too afraid of being turned away. However, the New Order was a collective of corporations, groups, communities, freelancers and solo agents. There wasn't even an application process; I could choose my own way to support the New Order and The Code! It was perfect!

Now here I am still living in Highsec. I'm not bored anymore. Everyday brings a new adventure and a new way to help breathe life into New Eden. Everyday I become a little more bolder and a little more braver. I've been a miner, a bumper and a ganker. I'm still a miner at heart and feel I will always be one, but I am different now; I am a changed man. I am compliant. I have purpose. I can contribute to Highsec in my own way; by preaching The Code. Preaching to others who were like me; stuck in a cycle of pointless ISK grinding and PVE content looking for the light. Now the ISK I make becomes New Order shares. Now the fruits of my industrial efforts produce Catalysts and other ganking ships. Now my once silent voice shouts proudly, "Praise James 315! Follow The Code!"

Highsec content creation is a great thing. Capsuleer created content is what has kept me in New Eden after all. So, kudos to you, Nitshe Razvedka. And kudos to James 315 and the New Order of Highsec for creating content for you as well. Perhaps one day you will see the Wisdom of the Savior as I have. Long live The Code! Long live the New Order! Long live Highsec!

Instantly the man could see, and he followed the CODE., praising James 315. And all who saw it praised James 315, too.



Praise the Supreme Protector.

Currently I am paying six major MERC alliances to fight CODE. Why? I am offended by people kowtowing to bullies. I do not run a large corporation, but I have the means to help the battlers, the downtrodden and remove a cancer apon our beloved Eve.

I will loose assets to CODE, but I would prefer to stand on my feet in the sun than loose my moral compass.

Currently my son and I are skilling up in PVP with an alt each in RvB. We are preparing ourselves for the de-CODEing ahead.

More will be revealed in February, but the MERCs are doing a fine job to start the campaign.

I'm attempting to redirect the anti-ganking movement by encouraging their stated intent and giving them direction. I'd step in and try to actually organize them for the sake of content, but I don't have the patience for cat herding. So I sit on the sidelines and root for both sides to do their best.

Why reinvent the wheel? There is already an organization working tirelessly to fight these evil-doers. That is the High Sec Militia.

We are the military wing of the Anti-Ganking movement and for a year now we have been fighting back. We are always looking for new recruits.
