August was a very fine month for killing Ventures, thanks to Anal Canal's Venture-killing contest, sponsored by CODEdot. We saw a lot of funny Venture kills, such as the 70 million isk Venture with a bunch of women's clothes, and this freighter, carrying 184 Ventures:
Now it's time for all the participants to submit their entries. By September 3rd, please EVEmail Anal Canal and/or loyalanon the following info:
- A link to your character's zKillboard.com board
- The number of individual Venture pilots you killed in August
Remember, it's not the number of Ventures, but unique Venture pilots, that counts. (The freighter kill didn't count for the contest; I just thought it was funny.) The contest coordinators will double-check the winners' scores, but you'll help them out a lot if you do the counting for your own results yourself.
Since the contest was open to all players, not just members of CODEdot or the New Order, I don't think anyone knows how high a score you'll need in order to claim one of the prizes. Send in your entry and find out! See this post for the list of prizes.
The Code Always Wins!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the Antiganker petitions went for the contest LOL
"I wonder how the Antiganker petitions went for the contest LOL"
DeleteSomething like this .... "Falcon Punch !!!!!!"
The Code always wins. \o/
Great job blowing up a bunch of noobs and getting them to quit eve...a real class act....how about blowing up L1 mission runners for the next contest?
ReplyDeleteOh, Mr. Anonymous blog poster afraid to post with his in-game name, he blessed it, huh? Care to show me where?
DeleteTry the forums under the dev post regarding the contest.
DeleteTo my dear Anal-Canal (who is brave enough to post with his in-character name....I was aware of the post, and will now like it to let others judge just what kind of "blessing" it constitutes.
DeleteThe way I read this is that a PLEX will be awarded to the youngest pilot who takes part in the competition and goes out to kill ventures, rather than the youngest victim that's killed in the event. If this is the case, then there's no problem in my mind.
This event seems along the lines of "Hulkageddon", just on a far smaller and less grand scale. It also seems to be targeting a specific class of ship rather than all barges and mining ships.
This thread has been reported to us a number of times for potentially being a source of rookie griefing, so here's the lowdown on where we stand:
While there are no rules against running an event of this nature and frankly we don't want to start trying to control the actions of players within EVE, ventures are typically flown by relatively young players who are working toward flying larger and more efficient mining hulls.
With this in mind, please be aware that if this event becomes a source of rookie griefing, or begins to take place in and around rookie starting systems where new players are being harassed, then our policies on new player harassment and griefing will come into play.
Tread very carefully with this event, as rookie player harassment is something we take extremely seriously, and punishment for violation of these policies is often swift and harsh.
If you have any questions about our rookie harassment policies, you can file a support ticket and ask the GM Team.
I remember being a noob a bit over a year ago. I flew a venture, and got blown up before my trial was over.
DeleteI loved it! (okay, I rarely flew a venture again... Mining is not my thing...)
The fact that you have to keep looking over your shoulder, the fact that if you're good at looking over your shoulder you get killed less (and get more kills, although that took at least half a year for me), and the fact that not everyone is good at looking over their shoulder are the three reasons that made EVE so attractive to me. I don't think shooting people gets them to quit, my experience (anecdotal, I must admit) says otherwise.
end parentheses, link not like.
DeleteVeers if you spent more time actually playing the game and less time haunting your enemies website giving them massive increases in traffic maybe life might be slightly more enjoyable?
DeleteAlso, where's Mr CAPITAL LETTERS?
Life is extremely enjoyable. My current favorite Eve activity, incursions, is not available right now due to Goons killing all the mother ship sites (j/k - sadly enough a civil war in the incursion community is currently making them impossible to run). On the other hand, Mr. Anonymous blogger afraid to post with his in game name, I'm having a lot of fun debating CODE on various forums, and life is really enjoyable right now. How are you enjoying life, sir? Feel free to respond with your in-game name.
DeleteProof James 315 is amazing. Who else aside for James and his disciples could possibly create debates all over the interwebs, aside for dear leader Mittens? James 315, the Mittani, and E1, best players to happen to Eve, ever.
DeleteActually it was me, not them. Until I started discussing on the Eve forums, there wasn't much chatter. And now most of the suicide gankers there claim CODE is a "joke" and that this website is a "comedy blog with links."
DeleteBeers Veldspar aspires to be a charismatic and powerful leader, but he doesn't want to do the hard work necessary to make that happen. Instead, he gutlessly chooses to criticize the New Order and James 315 in a misguided attempt to bring them down to his own level. He talks a lot and produces zero results.
DeleteAccusations of gutlessness from an anonymous blog poster afraid to post with his in game name....ooooh, thjat is just rich....keep up the good work, bro. And I'm not looking to lead, I'm looking for CCP to fix the game.
DeleteVEERS TEARS ARE SWEET TEARS.
DeleteFALCON PUNCH!!!!!!
I'm sure their taking you very seriously. May I direct your attention to the post a few scrolls down. While I realise you don't actually read the posts or 'get' CODE, I think that...FALCON KIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCKKKK!!!
DeleteOh Wolfie, if only text could capture your funny accent...love you bro (in a non-sexual way).
DeleteIf only I had another reservoir to fill with delicious veers tears.
DeleteHow come you haven't stopped me ganking yet bro?
Keep reading my killboard bro - you admiring?
I'm not really interested in stopping you from exploiting mechanics like bumping to gank people. It's not worth my time to interfere with broken and abused game mechanics. I'd rather raise the issue with CCP, demonstrate the problem and let them take action. Meanwhile I know I am eating you up inside, best demonstrated by banning me from the 2 in game chat channels. Who is crying now?
DeleteYou forgot - "valid" game mechanics bro.
DeleteHows your petition coming along? lol
I think they have already addressed your tears regarding bumping bro -
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=199310&find=unread
I love being a moderator of channels so I can ban crybabies. LOL.
Let me know when you get on my level kid.
You forgot - "exploited" game mechanics bro. Just like the people who used to slingshot Concord.
DeleteI didn't file a petition - I've simply raised the point in forums and started a discussion.
And it's not tears, it's pointing out the exploitation of a game mechanics.
The biggest crybabies are the banners themselves, such as yourself.
I try to not decline in life, and it would be a big drop to stoop to your level, "kid." Instead I will continue to call out your griefing and use of exploits, your sad attempts to kill new players, induce tears, and get them to quit the game, just like the the venture killing contest. I will continue to stand up for a better, happier, safer highsec, where new players can learn to play the game without being relentlessly ganked and griefed by miserable people with low self esteem who use a video game to drown out their sorrows.
See you around the block, "kid."
yeah you mad.
Deletealso I didnt read bro was too long.
I'm quite happy, actually. Showing what a shyster and a sham the CEO of CODE is happen to be a very entertaining activity. And to paraphrase DJ "If 150 words is too long for you to read, consider a remedial English class" (do they have those in Scotland?).
DeleteMore tears that I didn't read.
DeleteWolf that's some of the funniest shit I've read in a while! Lol! Love it! Crazy shit about winz although they do treat people like shit.
Deleteyou make this too easy for me - TLDR
Deleteyawn....if you are afraid of getting outwitted under your name, feel free to post anonymously (although I will haze you for it).
Deleteanother tears post courtesy of our newest fanboy.
Deletehey veers let me know how your campaign against valid game mechanics is working out for you.
Ill give you a hint, keep watching my killboard it will determine your success.
Meh, I'm having fun fighting against griefers and exploiters like you. Victory isn't the end here, enjoyment is. Glad you managed to read my post this time, I know that can be a struggle for you.
DeleteLet me explain something Veers. James has created something special. Something I have devoted my gameplay to right until the "end." The New Order of Highsec is not about one man, or even a group. It is an idea. A great idea that spreads virally. James could stop posting right now and guess what would happen. Others would step up to take his place and continue the expansion of the New Order. Just like when I was martyred for the sandbox, others took what I created and carried on the proud tradition. The bonus rounds have continued for at least a half trillion additional isk since I stopped doing them. This isk has been removed from the unfaithful and spread to the faithful. On any given day while James is off doing whatever he does outside of game, tens of billions worth of illegal ships are blown up, not in his name alone, but in the name of the New Order. Even if the New Order were to fracture, it would not fall apart. Instead, it would blossom into various sects, just like religion. You could say it's the religion of New Eden. In a game of internet spaceships, an idea created by a brilliant player has taken hold in the hearts and minds of players everywhere. And it is spreading.
DeleteOne day I am coming back, with or without the blessing I have petitioned for. And when that day comes, I have but one goal: To use every means possible, within game and within the EULA, to speed up the progress of 100% CODE compliance. Even if we have to blow up a quadrillion isk worth of internet spaceships, we will do what is necessary, because we are the New Order. Highsec needs us.
(*edit for the faithful, the captcha was 315)
I can't wait to tell my grandkids that I was here this day. The first great prophet of the New Order, after the Saviour himself, has spoken and given us great hope! She will rise again and lead armies against our enemies until they crumble before us. My next child shall be named Ero. You have my sword.
DeleteHear Hear Erotica!
DeleteAll praise to 315!
DeleteShe speaks the truth Veers. You should listen before you are the last rebel standing. The New Order will welcome you with open arms once you repent and ask forgiveness.
DeleteHail 315
Erotica 1,
DeleteLook, I think CCP did you wrong. I'm a laywer, and you committed no crime. CCP axed you for PR reasons, and that is really BS. On the other hand, you are really not a good guy. You are a scamming isk doubler, you got chucked from goons for doing weird stuff, and you emotionally tortured people in your "bonus room." I don't think you should be focusing on further griefing and blowing people up. Why not try to help new players, run missions with them, etc...?
I miss Erotica. She laid out and detailed so many awesome plans. When she does return, I wouldn't want to be one on her naughty list...
DeleteShe's probably one of the only players in the history of the game to be able to discretely rebuild a war chest from her network of friends and fans.
Aside from the negative connotations, she's basically Hitler, in a good warm and fuzzy way.
I feel better now, he's a space laywer. Wait, what?
DeleteI do help new players, I bring them the CODE. It does seem ironic, though, that all the players who lost the bonus round were bittervets. You'd think they'd be smarter. I am well known for my philanthropy. I'm basically Space Robin Hood. Thousands of new players benefited in isk and advice. Old players got a chance to start over. Have faith.
DeleteYou gave all your isk to CODE so they could blow up ships and make people cry. That is not "philanthropy."
DeleteVeers Belvar, that's a great idea for next months event (blowing up lv1 mission runners, or any mission runner). But I think since you put the idea forward, we should include the incursion runners.
DeleteAnd on the point of Erotica 1, what style of play the person does, doesn't mean they aren't a nice guy. They act a role in a computer game. Doesn't mean they are one bit like that in RL.
Ya for sure the incursions runners...see https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=366607&p=3
DeleteSo far in 6 days of the incursion ganking contest there have been.....0 kills.....now granted the prizes are pretty pathetic (rattlesnakes, really? Don't they give those away for free?), but this is definitely reinforcing the meme that CODE is great at shooting helpless noob ships like ventures, and ships that can't shoot back like miners and freighters, but pretty darn pathetic at shooting real targets, like incursion fleets.
I gave my isk to CODE to make highsec a better place while bonus rounding myself. Other assets went to trusty escrow agents to continue the good work. Plenty of assets are still locked up across more than 20 accounts. We cannot control tear production. We would prefer immediate enlightenment, but it is natural for some to cry first. As far as my trustworthiness, I also happened to be a director in the executor corp and gave isk directly there to pay alliance bills (and cover my numerous wardecs). Isk doubling is something I am good at, but my honor remains intact. My friends trust me, and I trust them.
DeleteSeparately, I showered isk and assets throughout my time in game to random strangers. Some people got free plex, ships, or just a multiple of their wealth, no strings attached. When business was slow, I'd give billions away to random locals along with advice. I did the same in the forum. Then, they'd watch in glee as others would visit Jita only to fail the rules. It's a virtuous cycle.
I wasn't kicked from Goons. That was a story concocted and repeated ad naseum after DJ and I got into tussle over the Heavy Rayne scandal. You should know better. But I still love Goons and dear leader himself. You could say that's what separates me from the average person. I don't anger easily and can accept sacrifices for the common good.
Think of New Eden as a tasty blue donut with a special filling on the inside. that inside is the New Order of highsec, a special recipe of James 315.
It is safe to say that I, and the rest of the New Order, have made far more people laugh than cry. For every sad carebear, there are hundreds, if not thousands of happy supporters. But still, we don't wish that they cry. What we want is for them to embrace goodness like we have, like the winners of the bonus round have done.
You may recall in the heated debate over my future in game, I made it clear that I don't even wish any illwill on my biggest critic, Ripard Teg. After all, if he had been banned for his gross abuses of power, he wouldn't have experienced all the lovely in game blowback that he did (and more to come hehe). :o)
You see Veers, there is much more to me and to the New Order than the elevator speeches and talking points that you come across out there. We are complex, good, wonderful people who just want to have fun and make the game better for everyone.
Please do join us and set aside minor differences. I look foward to blowing up internet spaceships with you and laughing together on comms.
E1 4 CSM 10
DeleteRock the Vote
The New Order vs the rebels may as well be the smart vs the dumb. Veers, you need to join the side that can generally spell right.
DeleteI will give Erotica1 credit for speaking well, that was actually excellently written and compelling. I am tired now and need sleep.
Deleteveers gets destroyed by erotica 1 and now needs to sleep.
DeleteErotica I so hope you get back into the game. The stars seem to shine a little less without you
DeleteSleep deprivation! Torture! She MADE him stay up all night with her silver tongue!
Deletelolz :)
DeleteHey Veers, let's have a drink sometime next time you're in the Indy area.
DeleteOMFG this Beers Veldspar lives here, he really loves minerbumping.com
DeleteVEERS IS DED RIGHT! NEW ODOR WANTS NOOBS TO QUIT AND WILL DESTROY GAME. VEERS PLEEZE HELP US DEFEET THEM I THINK U WILL BE KNOWN AS A GOOOD LEADER RITE UP THEIR WITH GEVLON, DINSDALE AND JESTER:
ReplyDeletetraaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll allleeeeertttttt
Deletethe sad part is veers is to afraid to lead anything so posts by himself
DeleteThe sad part is that anonymous is afraid to use his in game name.
Deleteso what if he posts anonymously. stop whining and start doing something to stop us.
DeleteBecause he is a coward, just like you. And i am doing something, I'm alerting CCP to your exploitation of game mechanics.....I'm glad you were actually able to read my post this time.....thought 14 words would be too much for you.
DeleteTrying to make me look snobbish by posting with my name. Not me guys, and the in-game-name/TLDR jokes are old. Write some new material trolls ;)
DeleteDude, don't steal my identity. And I am snobbish - so what?
DeleteI'm gonna tell CCP! That'll stop you! Grrrr! What are you like 6? You think they don't know? You think your the first cry baby to come their way because your no good at the game and wish it was WOW? Seriously, take a look back at the last few years of posts, your nothing new here!
DeleteAs agent Ima Wreckyou put it on the Eve Forums "Highsec game mechanics have been constantly nerfed for the last 11 years and everytime some guy claims this is the final nerf which will "fix" the game for them. And then the nerf get's implemented, we adopt and the tears start over with a new idea abut a small nerf that will "fix" the game."
DeleteSo CCP obviously does listen and change things.
So veers insults people that disagrees with him lol.
DeleteI can see why his posts are tldr
I only disagree with stupid people who a bying into the CODE crap and cannot think for themselves.
DeleteI suppose imitation is a form of flattery, but try to have the balls to post with your in-game name, rather than vainly trying to steal my identity.
DeleteWhile agreeing with some of your comment's you made in my name, I see what you did there, attempting to make me look like those CODE fellows with their "superior" attitude. If I ever become a snob like them, you can call me out on that.
You are a mess Veers and you argue with yourself now? Maybe you should seek attention from a professional healthcare specialist?
DeleteExploding pixels is serious business, we have now a skilled space attorney to handle all this mess.
DeleteHave you received any feedback of the petitions you made ? Or will you respond by your usual 'anonymous coward' ?
Thank you Veers.
You are the man.
so you need to insult them? nice logic there.
Deleteanyway ive been enjoying your tears now for days keep it up :)
There is only one Veers Belvar, and that is me
Deleteperhaps you should use a google account, I feel you're too easily impersonated
DeleteThis is just another cheap tactic to confuse the masses, it will pass. Veers is just a name and I can expose the CODE under any alias. So troll away doppelgangers, see how little I care if you use my name.
DeleteThe 6:20 am post was the last real me....I went to sleep...memba? New Order folks, come on, how low can you go? Identity theft? Really?
DeleteBeers Veldspar, you have no life.
DeleteYeah I know I post as anon, does not change the fact you are the fanboy #1 of minerbumping
Opponent, not fanboy. It was CODE who came to me, tried and failed to get me to buy a permit, and put me on the front page of their website. Plus I'm not such a coward to post as an anonymous blogger.
DeleteIf it's any consolation, I never suggested you seek mental help. Regale me with stories of shooting red crosses over a drink. I'm also hungry, and wings sound good.
Delete"You are a mess Veers and you argue with yourself now? Maybe you should seek attention from a professional healthcare specialist?"
DeleteWell.. I feel silly now for misunderstanding your message.
I'm still confused....was Erotica 1 conveying some kind of hidden message?
Deleteoh and 4:50 pm was an identity thief, ofc..... 5 pm was the real me.
Deletewasn't me lol But let's talk about lemon meringue cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. I hear it's orgasmic. Have you tried it?
DeleteI'm flattered Erotica 1, but no thanks. Obvious sexual innuendo is obvious.
DeleteBTW: Not wanting to make this more.. confusing and being OK with the ridiculous identity theft, 5:01 wasn't be, and neither was 5:02. If you do this, do it right guys.
Identity thief again.....notice the poor spelling.
DeleteMaybe this is getting on your nerves Veers causing you to make mistakes. Cry me a river while you argue with your inner troll
DeleteTalk a lot, not saying much "Veers" at 5:52 or 5:56. Wanna try my underwear next? :)
DeleteI'm not going to play your trollific games loyal.... you only make a fool of yourself with this. Troll, troll, troll your boat..
and another identity thief. More amusing than anything else. Imitation is the highest for of flattery.
DeleteIm like herpes, I will stay here forever...Mmmmm...Close to the agents, close to...Jaaaammmeeesss
DeleteThis is getting out of hand, now they are comparing me STD. Next stop: Veers if gay. You may take my name, but you'll never take.. my freedom!!
DeleteActually it all cracked off when I told gorilla to remove rl insults to loyals family. Thats when this place took off, your a late comer
ReplyDeletethis is true if gorilla had only moderated his antigankers the same way he expected code to moderate their members he wouldnt be sulking
DeleteCODSE = Cannot Overcome Dawn Syndrome Entirely
DeleteFixed that for you :)
ah gorilla shall remove insults, but here are insults again him and his dead wive are OK. You lousy hipocrites.
Delete@ anon 09.01
DeleteIf you're going to attempt to insult people at least proofread your insults. It's DOWNS Syndrome, not Dawn.
Not sure how valuable four anonymous posters insulting each other in close succession is.
DeleteWhat is DAWN Syndrome? LOL Is it some glittery vampire sickness... "Oh no... THE DAWN!!!!"
DeletePutz.
Sometimes I feel the CODE people have a DAWN syndrome. Does Anything, Wins Nothing.
DeleteLike I said before, use the name, it changes nothing.
Bro, this is ridic....stop stealing my identity....Also, if you do steal it, at least say intelligent things.
DeleteWell, that would mean that one of you would say something intelligent :D
Deletezinger...let me guess, you are The Mittani?
DeleteWow! This thread is epic fail, for multiple reasons too!
ReplyDeleteAll of this for me!
ReplyDeleteWELL SHUCKS!
