Crime & Punishment

actually, code. where is james315, can we get a response from him in this thread?

if you want some form of answer from him, mail him.
because RL and stuff > EVE :P

It is well understood that transporting anything through highsec without due care and attention is a violation of the new halaima code of conduct.

Can I interest you in some more important official documents to read before making wrong assumptions:

It'll explain to you that there is no need for someone to be in CODE. alliance to be an enforcer of the code. Especially this part should interest you: Everyone in EVE who takes any action to support our cause is an Agent of the New Order.

An interesting point, Bumblefck. Supporters outside the CODE. Alliance would be well advised to sport a permit - in order to prevent erroneous interference.

The exception in my own case is my scout, for reasons which I'm sure are obvious. He doesn't carry a Permit but we are a community and some of the local enforcers are aware of him. In any case, if I lost a ship to a comrade I'd have a good laugh about it!

When I returned to the game after a ~6 month break, the first thing I did was to buy a Permit for Sasha from one of my CODE. heroes; Mr Salah ad-Din Al-Jawahiri (First of His Name). He graciously obliged.

The Code is a venerable document which is the framework of modern Code enforcement practices. It is not an exhaustive list of all Laws, and is not intended to be. Since the Code is a living, breathing document, it's not possible to fully enumerate all of the rules.

Modern Code enforcement practices are the product of years of daily updates by our Saviour in response to the happenings in His territory. Correct interpretation often requires the involvement of a Code scholar. Every now and then, James 315 will make a seminal post which has an enormous effect, such as these:

Fair Warning
"All miners are deemed to have read the Code."

Who You Gonna Call? Part 2
"They don't need a "warning" before they get ganked. They've already been warned. Carebears of highsec, the time for warnings is over. The time for payment has come"

Yes, All Freighters Need Mining Permits
"...every freighter and jump freighter found in highsec without a mining permit is subject to immediate termination."

We understand that many miners are have neither the inclination nor ability to become scholars of the Code. No doubt with these types in mind, Agent Rabe Raptor created The Law of Highsec, a practical supplement to The Code which lists specific violations.

It is safe to assume that:
- All activities in highsec require a permit
- You must always fit a strong tank on your ship
- You must always pay attention to your surroundings and be at your keyboard
- You must strive to avoid even the appearance of being AFK or botting

My best advice for the average capsuleer is to approach your local Agent with deference, purchase a permit to demonstrate your goodwill and support of our cause, and feel free to ask questions. Our Agents all have the resources to help you make informed choices.

I think the real point here is, The CODE. always wins. Always.

well there is an old Irish saying that i feel is a little more apt
"many a time a mans mouth has broken his nose"
given the npc posting i think you know why too

I would say "Go out and melt their faces," but cats aren't very satisfying to explode.

Just so. Perhaps you could send a memorandum to the Glorious Leader and your colleagues about obtaining such a permit so that they may remain CODE.-compliant?
