The New Order continues to experience a surge of popularity. The people of highsec are really beginning to perceive the benefits of our rule. The rebels and skeptics would be surprised, I think, by how many miners have gone over to our side lately.
Chuffy Bigbad identifies himself as a "rather new citizen", having only played a month. By embracing the Code, he's advanced light years beyond the typical carebear who mines for years and complains about losing a ship.
Chuffy's off to a great start: 1,500 shares purchased in highsec's best investment fund. We passed the 508 billion isk mark, and Chuffy earned a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.
The mining permit business is booming. With the extra funds Agent Liek DarZ got from selling 100 permits, this generosity was bestowed: Selina Stormcrow received 1,315 shares and sent us over the the 509 and 510 billion isk marks. Selina's Double Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™ will be a welcome gift, no doubt.
Highsec poet laureate Maria Malukker is taking a break from EVE. Nearly every EVE player does this. But the wonderful thing about New Order shares is that they allow a player's assets to be put to good use--even if a player quits forever or gets permabanned! Maria's 1,000 additional shares sent us over the 511 billion isk mark and earned her a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.
BONUS!
Agent Arden Elenduil sent an unnamed alt to join a highsec PvE corp and found them buzzing with complaints about the New Order. Hint to carebears: Don't do this! Like the NSA, the New Order's Agents like to keep a finger on the pulse of the society they govern. Anti-Order speech is a violation of the Code, and it leaves your corp's assets at risk of confiscation.
The corporation's trust in Arden's alt was well placed. He took all their stuff, but he gave them a taste of the Code.
Roughly 14-15 billion isk worth of assets were confiscated during this audit. Between this and yesterday's Kills of the Week, it seems a lot of carebears are losing everything. What more can we do to make these people understand that, yes, the Code is a real thing and they need to follow it?
These carebears are such slaves of routine that they don't even notice when they're defeated. Bot-aspirancy--it's a killer.
All the best to you, Maria! I hope you find repose and new purpose in your break - wherever it leads.
ReplyDeleteMay you be well!
Thanks, Sasha. Taking this break from Eve was a tough decision, and it was with a heavy heart that I cancelled my subscription. But a mixture of decreased playtime, decreasing fun/hour, disappointment with ccp and general exhaustion makes this the right choice for me right now. I've left and returned before, so hopefully in a couple months I start feeling the urge to blow up spaceships again and resubscribe. In the meantime, I'm proud to leave my assets in the care of James and the New Order. I'm sure they'll be put to the best of all possible uses: vaporizing whiny, greedy carebears.
DeleteI'll still be following the N.O.'s exploits on here of course. Hoping to see more recordings from you (thanks for the holiday reading btw, that was amazing), and more acts of selfless heroism from our noble agents.
Long live the Code! Long live the New Order!
Aw, I wrote this whole heartfelt explanation and goodbye on here yesterday, but the site apparently ate it, dropped it, or something. Bah.
DeleteAnyway, I'll still hang out on minerbumping, love reading about the nobility and valor of our agents. And I'm looking forward to more recordings from you, Sasha!
Ah, there it is!
DeleteMaria, I will really miss your haikus. :(
DeleteSome of them were truly inspired. They were like tiny oases of quiet reflection, contemplation and beauty, amid the rivers of filth spewed by carebears in these comments.
Please don't forget us completely. Come say hi from time to time, and maybe drop a haiku or two. :)
Cheers, I hope you recharge your batteries quickly.
Life's exhaustion comes
Deleteto us all eventually
yet we recover
Oh, that was just perfect. :)
DeleteI was trying to come up with some sort of pithy response in haiku form, but I just don't have the knack for it.
There is only one Maria Malukker, after all.
And the SHEEPLE have spoken...
ReplyDeleteIf James 315 is our Shepherd, We shall gladly be His flock, as the Code makes us all infinitely more powerful than any group of "wolf-like" bot-aspirants. Who prey on new players and attempt to "assimilate" them with their whining and inaction.
DeleteNeed a bit more back-up to Agent Arden Elenduil's actions here :)
ReplyDeleteThe Code ALWAYS Wins!!!! ALWAYS!!!!
ReplyDeletePull out your head from where it smells!

Delete122 hrs botting in Otela and not one gank/bump despite every belt having a "comply with the New Order" can.

As James has repeatedly said, both in person and in the Code: when He, or one of His Agents feels like denying you the ability to mine, you will be denied the ability to mine.
DeleteMiner reads the can and stays at keyboard watching local for Code. Doesn't go AFK.

o7 only thing will impress me is another bonus room
ReplyDeleteFreshly uncorked champagne . . . yes, that's what New Order always winning tastes like!
ReplyDeleteIt sucks you can't play anymore, but take joy in the news that some Code newbros are REALLY quite good and kicking bot-aspirant butt. It's almost as if your spirit has never left!
