People give money to the New Order for all sorts of reasons. Some, like Miss Shagarama, do it to turn their lives around. Others do it simply because it's fun (try it!). But for most, the purchase of New Order shares represents the most efficient vehicle for assisting our Agents in their quest to save highsec.
The Conference Elite gained 1,000 additional shares by way of its CEO, loyalanon, who is currently the #1 PvP'er in all EVE according to zKillboard. Thanks to the new purchase, we've passed the 455 billion isk mark, and TCE earned yet another Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™ by proxy.
Miss Shagarama, the author of the inspiring EVEmail you just read, bought 200 shares. This sent us over the 456 billion isk mark and redeemed her soul to a degree. Miss Shagarama earned a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™. She's come a long way!
Mistrum Ridcully bought 1,882 shares--an interesting number. It also happened to be barely enough shares to send us over the 457 and 458 billion isk marks and earn Mistrum a Double Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.
Zepher Helen Hawat, formerly known as Colonel Falkenberg, bought 1,000 additional shares, sending us over the 459 billion isk mark and earning Zepher a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™. A New Order shareholder by another name is just as sweet.
Bing Bangboom received a windfall and wanted to share. He bought 2,000 additional shares, sending us over the 460 and 461 billion isk marks and added another Double Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™ to add to his collection. To read more about his adventures and the circumstances of his recent acquisitions, you can head over to the MinerBumping Forum and check out his new thread.
Good news all around. And yet, as Agents of the New Order who care deeply about the fate of highsec, we must always be on our guard. Don't get complacent.

Oh, I see the problem. Thanks for the correction. Here, lemme fix it:

needed correction
See how fun this is?
DeleteCreative work's encouraged
by novel formats
I want to relax
Deleteafter tiresome day at work
and not write haikus
That was 5-8-5, not 5-7-5.
DeleteIf you want to veg,
remove yourself from the game
and go take a nap
Shouldn't have to say:
"Gaming is for the awake
Not for the checked-out!"
af-ter tire-some day at work (I think, that'd make it 7)
DeleteI need no advice
From a high sec griefer
How to play a game
You didn't have to say that, I'm not even logged in. nor do I read minerbumping.com while playing EVE. I think that'd be counted as bot-aspirancy by CODE.
Ah, it's a pronunciation issue. I pronounce it "tie-err-some". I guess if you pronounce it "tair-some", it works.
DeleteAlso, now you did 5-6-5. "From a high sec grie-fer".
How did you not know?
The minerbumping comments
are part of the game
English is not my first language, so I may count syllables wrong (along with other mistakes). Counting those based on how the word is pronounced is somewhat difficult to me.
DeleteAnyway, after miscalculating 'failure' (I counted it as fai-lu-re, and not noting that there's the base word 'fail' that has only one syllable), I've doubled checked difficult words from http://www.howmanysyllables.com/ . Without it, I would've had ti-re-some, and grie-fer. I have no idea how the site gives 'griefer' 3 syllables. http://www.wordcalc.com/ gives 'griefer' 2 syllables, but it also gives the word 'idea' only 1 syllable, while howmanysyllables.com gives the correct 3. Oh well.
Only official sites

Falcon disagrees
DeleteEro was banned for Teamspeak
EVERYTHING's in-game
If that is really true
Deletethen afk are playing the game
and James' words untrue
'Twas a stupid choice
Deletebut that's the world we live in
We'd best accept that
Don't try to hide it
DeleteThe CODE is now obsolete
It's members but sheep
Why say "obsolete"?
DeleteIn what way has highsec changed
to justify that?

Here's my conclusion:
DeleteCODE claims afk are not playing
you confirmed they are
I'm gonna skip ahead a couple responses.
DeleteAnonymous says:
"Ha, I knew it! A facetious comment one supporter of Code made means the whole movement is intellectually bankrupt! That's why I'll NEVER pay!"
There, now we can skip that whole boring conversation.
Oh, you didn't agree with yourself? ;D
DeleteThe reason why I'll won't pay the permit is because I don't want to have it in my bio. I don't agree with CODE's methods either.
I was being facetious, poking fun at the mess CCP's creating with their creative interpretation of what their jurisdiction and responsibilities are. It is not an interpretation I agree with, since it leads to such absurdities as "everything is in-game and there's no such thing as afk". That really shouldn't have had to be spelled out, but there you go.
DeleteAnd don't worry, you'll end up with a permit in your bio. It may take a while (it takes some carebears years), but eventually you'll learn: you can save your list of NPC damage types in a note or in a text file, thus freeing up the necessary space in your bio.
If bumping is effectively a warp scram, then this ISK windfall is effectively a down payment on future tears
ReplyDeleteA worthy cause, just and true. Saving the souls of carebears from bot-aspirancy and saving EVE from becoming Carebearistan. There is not a more worthy cause to donate to.
ReplyDeleteThe Code Always Wins!!!! ALWAYS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteChildish obsession
DeleteA fixation on our balls
Just one more carebear
Agreed....some of the people here are....disturbing......
DeleteYes, CODE ALWAYS WINS... until Dec 28th...
DeleteOur martyrs and our investors are truly driving a growing New Order and a better high sec!
ReplyDeleteMy vision for highsec:
DeleteA place where nobody can do anything without getting ganked regardless of permit status. There. I said it.
Five bajillion shares sold!!!
ReplyDelete*throws confetti*
*blows party whistle*
LOYALANON OWES ME ISK AND HE'S INVESTING!?!
ReplyDelete10 mil tonight or I get my cat involved...
Seems the CODE always wins.
ReplyDeleteI noted somewhere on a previous post that, as an inactive player with no plans to re-sub, I was waiting for EVE to offer one of those expansion-related "reactivate X days for free!" offers so that I could cash out my characters assets and hand them over before biomassing. The EVE offer arrived last week; I happily accepted and logged on just long enough to liquidate. I confess that I melted down a clutch of T2 hulls and equipment because it was the easiest way to consolidate everything for a sale. Please carry on with the amusing blogging.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing?
DeleteWe thank the honorable Holland Zellder for providing an excellent example of why the CODE is the one true pathway to Salvation ! Our dear friend had been lured into the dark pathway of apathy, his senses dulled and his intellect inactive. Such a large, unprotected ship for such a small and valuable cargo. The CODE works because it causes the pilot to stop and think!
ReplyDeleteWe thank the most wise savior of high sec for his vision, leadership, inspiration, and unending administrative efforts to wake pilots from the slow death of ambivalence.
A special thanks to all of the pilots who sacrifice themselves for so worthy a cause !
