Can you guess who lost a freighter? That's right, the guy who had no respect for the Code. If you want to lose a freighter of you own, that's how you should go about doing it. If you want to give your ships a fighting chance, stick with the Code.
Bonus points to MacGee McCash for comparing me to Baal instead of Hitler. Sadly, MacGee loses more points than he gains, by declaring himself in favor of rebellion. The resistance movement gains another winner, there.
Kyra Aeon claims to have spent "many months" saving up for a ship worth 185 million isk. Two questions come to mind. First, at that rate, how long would it take to save up 10 million isk for a mining permit. Second, why didn't Kyra do that first?
Darius Spegal warns that everything in the Code is a violation of the EULA. Really? Even the part about being respectful in local? But Darius goes further than most by saying, "Just so that you know, I am a lawyer." Impressive credentials. On the other hand, Darius never specified whether he was a lawyer in real life, or if he was just a space lawyer--which is even more common.
Some people ask me for advice on how EVE should be played. Here's some free advice for The Azmodeth: The best way to do an "epic arc" is not to do it at all. I haven't run a mission in 8 years.
Zeeris extended an invitation for "two civilized people" to discuss what was "really going on here". That's a short conversation--Code enforcement was going on. As for two civilized people, I'm one, but who's the other? There's nothing civilized about calling good people bullies and gangsters.
Everyone knows how much I appreciate a good Code, but sometimes it seems like the miners are speaking in code. Can anyone decipher what Cassel40 is saying?
On second thought, some mysteries are better left unsolved.
Elli Mortimer lost a few ships and says she's done with the game. No problem. If you don't like losing ships, EVE probably isn't the game for you anyway. Maybe she should try a game like "Call of Duty", where losing ships is rare.
There's something peculiar about a guy named Retardo Khaan calling the New Order a "bunch of retards". If he got ganked again, would he call us a bunch of "khaan artists"?
Everyone has opinions, but not all opinions are of equal value. I shudder to think what would become of highsec if people listened to Stonewall Stonewall. Thank goodness they listen to me instead.
Über contempt? He only lost a Retriever. Shouldn't he have saved a German superlative in case he lost a Mackinaw or Hulk--or even an Orca? Good miners plan ahead. Bot-aspirants, if they live at all, only live for the moment. How else can they pass up a permit that lasts 365 days?
Even though i kinda stopped playing EVE for some time, me and my good pal Kalorned's motto was "Our arse is sore!". We still and probably won't ever find out what Cassel tried to tell us with that. I guess it's true what they say. The miner stares at the abyss and the abyss stares back at him!

Lol! That was a funny Grab-bag.
ReplyDeleteRipard Teg is a boring, up-tight old fart, and his writing style makes flowers wilt. I sincerely hope no new controversies spring up that trick me into clicking on his yaw-inducing blog again.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

I assume you meant YAWN-inducing, but the idea of a blog that induces yaw made me chuckle. :-)
DeleteRipard Teg whining tears! Oooh love it, my bucket overfloweth
DeleteA few more Real Villains of Eve for the collection there.
ReplyDeleteAny carebears that go up for CSM I'm voting for them. CCP needs to get the word that people are fed up with the CODE gankers.
ReplyDeleteAs such, I have come up with a solution to the CODE problem. The most easiest way to flat STOP highsec suicide gankers in their tracks is a weapons lockout.
What is that you might ask? It's quite simple really. A weapons lockout prevents you from firing on another player while in highsec. However, there will be exceptions. Those exceptions are as follows:
Character with suspect flag.
Character with criminal flag.
Character with a negative security rating for the system they are in. That would be <-2.0 for a 1.0 system, <-2.5 for a 0.9 system, etc....
Character with an excessive bounty (>500M or so).
War Targets.
If CCP implements these changes, there will be no further ganking in highsec.
This has been your host Butthurt Miner from Carebears United thanking you for reading another trollific post.
You have to come up with a good enough reason to turn empire space in to a barren and lifeless wasteland if you want CCP to listen to you and take your opinions seriously.
DeleteIf you want to mine in peace and quiet, play Minecraft. If you want to play a multiplayer online game then you have to learn to play with others better.
This includes those that have a valid yet alternative play style than your own.
500M is not an excessive bounty. There's no such thing.
Also the above 'mechanic' won't work. If CCP does this within a week the ore you mine will be worth just a tad over 1 isk per unit due to the sheer volume being mined and the shortage of spaceships being blown up.
Ultimately you will drive yourself out of the game you think you enjoy playing.
Those are some of the dumbest ideas Ive ever seen. Dinsdale, is that you?
Delete-EasyKill
Its so cute that you don't think CCP hears every single day, through the GMs,how fed up people are with gankers. They don't care. They like spaceship violence. Its you, not CCP, that doesn't want ganking in hisec. They know you don't like it, they don't care. They might tweak the math occasionally in the name of "balance." But you'll never see an end to ganking in hisec.
DeleteUmm, if CCP had any desire to eliminate ganking, they'd just change the Concord spawn time to arrive in 1 sec.
DeleteGanking finished.
But, CCP doesn't do this (something that could likely be implemented during a DT) which makes me think that CCP feels the game is working as intended.
Highsec is supposed to be safeER than other space, not completely safe.
Lower isk price means cheaper ships. Make high sec safe.
DeleteAs the greatest role player the New Order has ever produced I've always felt that ganking in "machine-gun" style Gallente ships was somehow beneath my talent. Kinda like dinner theater really. Sure it might be a good show but what people usually focus on is their shiteous main course (tank) and if the damn waitress is getting my damn drink sometime tonight (Concord response time).
DeleteIt's really not optimal.
If we can get your changes made real we can dump the hippy gallente doctrines and go over to 100% alpha ganking. Minmatar is Winmatar! If we alpha gank I can warp in, alpha a carebear, and role-play for up to 20 seconds before I have to get my pod out! I may even be able to shoot TWICE in the right system!
We can evolve from dunking miners all day everyday and get into dunking mission runners and maybe even Incursion fleets.

Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. James 315. This is from me to you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.

nice artwork, if only you were making cartoons for us instead of the rebels.

HAND.... just LOL, who says that anymore? #yolo #swag
DeleteI like how all the shots miss "James 315". Just like in game, you can't hit him.
Deletebutthurt miner posts some of the most hilariously stupid comments on here. Bravo sir!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful solution, would end highsec missions too.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair the epic arcs are generally done for grinding standing, which can't really be done quicker once you've maxed out trading in tags at Data centers. Even the scariest and fiercest pure PVPers have done it at some point.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you at least gotta have standings to run locates. And for "locate power" to be useful you've got to have standings all over New Eden.
DeleteAlthough I think where James is coming from, in the ideal game rule set, there would be almost no one in hisec except newbies, and therefore much less need for wardecs and locators.
Anon 2:09.
DeleteI haven't. and I have no need for the standings. What would I use them for in null/low?
I remember Retardo from her crying on the forums about bumping.

James 315,
ReplyDeleteIf I could make a humble request? Is there any way you can give us the ability to 'like' particular comments? Like this one for instance: If he got ganked again, would he call us a bunch of "khaan artists"?
Thank you for your time.
Well... I guess its good to know CODE is driving players away from the game. I'm sure CCP doesn't care about that at all. Lost revenues and the like. After all, CCP is just in this for shits and giggles right?
ReplyDeleteand ofc James doesn't run missions. Too scared he will get ganked. ;)
Think CODE doesn't lie?
Check my blog
http://gankerbumping.blogspot.com
Yes because no one ganked people in high sec the previous 9 years before CODE started doing their thing, right? The game is about blowing up spaceships, but somehow, people like you think they shouldn't have to get their ships blown up. This game isn't for everyone, and CCP is fine with that. CCP is the one that came up with HTFU in response to whiners like you, not the gankers.
Deleteanonymous tears, HTFU tears,numnum love it! More ganker tears pls:D
DeleteGorila for CSM10! Mwahahaha
DeleteI'm officially petitioning CCP for a Ripard Teg Cannon that mounts on Mining Barges. One shot from the Ripard Teg Cannon and all you Code Monkeys BURST INTO TEARS!!!
Deleteyou're not as funny as the guy who posted goatse links :(
DeleteWell, it appears that I have developed a fanclub here. My good friend Gorila Vengaza has been busy on his site exposing code and James 315's torpedo ravaged ass for what they are. A bunch of lying, griefing, scammers who fuck Erotica 1 in the ass. However, James 315 is sitting right next to him as shown here. That's right Mr. James 315 and Erotica 1. You are both raging pillow biting numpties. You offer your anal thumb receptacles as a signing bonus to get people to join the new order and ganking agents.
DeleteSo, what happens when a ganker and a carebear meetup in real life? Quite simple. The ganker bends over to bite the pillow and the carebear makes the ganker his bitch. And this happens in the basement of the ganker's parents. In order to cope with their "in real life" impotenance, they fantasize that they are getting anally raped by a woman wearing a strapon.
This is another quality trollific post from your friends at Carebears United.
We are many. We are strong. The code will fail. The code will fall. A free highsec is worth fighting for.
Once again I am reminded what I am fighting for!
DeleteJust imagine if my daughter met a man like the butthurt miner...
Maybe, but butthurt miner is a troll who's in it for the shits and giggles.
DeleteMr/Mrs LarsUlrik Napsterbane, if that is indeed your real name, if your daughter met me, she wouldn't know it. I would be an average joe just like most other people. Who knows, I could be your next door neighbor and you wouldn't know it. In fact, I could be your daughter's boyfriend who she is pounding in the ass with a strapon. After all, women need to feel dominate too. In any case, I'm doing it with a WOMAN unlike our friends James 315 and Erotica 1 who were outed as bed buddies. I have to wonder who is on top and who is on the bottom. I'm thinking James 315 is on top while Erotica 1 is on the bottom when you consider E1's faggot voice that has permanently changed pitched to a higher register since the first time he got banged by another man. Besides, since you are a warrior who rages against the code, keep up the good work and remember the carebears.
