Diamond in the Rough, Part 1

Agents of the New Order are many things: Elite warriors, poets, law enforcers, therapists, philosophers, conquerors. They are also explorers. Each Agent searches the vast wasteland of highsec for something exceptional. When they recognize that special, indescribable spark in a miner's eyes, they know they've found a candidate for our next Agent.


As I said, however, highsec is vast and filled with waste. The search for a good player can be a difficult one.


Agent Tisiphone Dira made the trek to Hek, hoping to find someone with promise. She found mattgb instead.


It's a law of mathematics that not everyone we encounter in highsec can be awesome. If a carebear falls short, he can still be sold a mining permit. Tisiphone figured that was about the extent of mattgb's potential. But the carebear insisted that there was more to mattgb than met the eye...


...which is unlikely. Our Agents have perfect vision. They get it from the Code.


Even judging by bot-aspirant standards, mattgb fell short of greatness. "I'm organizing probably 4-5 major corps" may be the most unimpressive threat you can make.


mattgb claimed that he had the backing of every single corp in his employment history, plus all of the alliances currently affiliated with those corps. Caution! Always give your former employer a heads-up before you use them as a reference.


After careful consideration, Tisiphone decided mattgb wasn't ready to become an Agent of the New Order yet. The carebear had a lot of growing up to do.


Tisiphone was encouraged when she encountered JN Alister, who was celebrating his birthday. One year older, this carebear might be a bit more mature.


Our Agent put the AFK birthday boy to the test. Instead of taking the opportunity to confess his crime, JN Alister started making wisecracks. It looked like Tisiphone had a comedian on her hands.


Everyone responds differently to their birthday. Some reflect on how far they've come and where they want to go. Others get jaded and cynical. JN Alister dismissed all highsec law as "rollplaying". The system only existed to keep him down, JN felt.


After dealing with jokers like mattgb and JN Alister all day, some might be inclined to give up on highsec. Then there are the Agents of the New Order, who believe highsec is worth fighting for.

To be continued...

To err is human; but do not fill your cargohold with ore and ice. Seek ye instead the mining permit that will fill your bio with joy and happiness.

    1. Perhaps you should take a example and start down the road towards poet. Your first step is understanding the difference between "You're" and "You" and learning how to stop capital letters where they are needed.

      Also, miner please calm down.

  5. Guys! Come on! Listen to yourselves! Let us stop this petty bickering and remember why we are all here on this blog! Let us sit by the fire of the Burning freighters of Uedama and bask in the words of James 315 as he tells the tales of the Gallant agents and the Goofuses (Goofi?) with whom they interact.
    Let us stop arguing amongst each other and get back to the true spirit of the Code: Peace and Love.

    1. I think that you would find most Code agents are nice people IRL with nice families and are good citizens. They are thus not likely to be "ganked" IRL. It is the anonbear anti-gankers who need to worry. RL people don't take too kindly to the threats and sexual comments that the anonbears often make. Try it some time. Oh, wait.. you won't because you can only make those comments behind the Anonymous veil of your favorite blog.

    3. It's typically 5-7-5, not 5-8-7. Also, how can we simultaneously cause much misery, but make little difference? Wouldn't causing all that misery be in itself making a difference?

    6. @Anon6:49
      Well, of course we change their circumstances! We gank them! They struggle with losing their money, we take it, and then they have a choice: Either they live Code-Compliant, or they quit the game, or they repeat the whole thing over again. I'm amazed at how many miners choose option 3.

      "We gank them!"
      no you don't you just yap about it (others do the ganking)
      "we take it,"
      again you don't take a damn thing ! just yap about it.

      "English-language serious haiku poets rarely use 5-7-5 or any other regular syllable count. The syllable count is just about the least important thing in haiku, except that the number of syllables needs to be pretty small. It's the juxtaposition of natural images that's really really important. "

      see your not always right it seems.

      “I don’t think counting 5,7,5 syllables is necessary or desirable. To reflect the natural world, and the season, is to reflect what is.” —Gary Snyder"

      you too are not always right .... go figure, code people not being completely correct all the time now isn't that strange.

      Delete
    11. Huh! It's good to learn that about the "serious" English-language haiku poets. However, since we're talking about a game about spaceship combat, which necessarily doesn't leave room for many natural images, I think I'll stick with the 5-7-5 format as a means of imposing structure. If you wish to abandon that format, could you at least try for those nature images instead? It'll help distinguish your haiku from the habitual awful text formatting we see from our usual carebears.

      Please explain how your comment can be interpreted as anything other than "tears" with such classics as:

    13. your attempts at correcting someone was wrong maria and yet you try to spin your way to being right ..... thats precious.

    14. no tears "mouthpiece". just facts
      you don't gank ,youd don't take anything from those you don't gank
      so you don't change a thing ,because to do so would require you to do more than just "yap" which is the only thing you do "mr mouthpiece".
      now give your jaw a rest ang go do some more of nothing .
      or you can always cry to me some more i'm loving it ......

    1. Oh man! I really hope this ends up with ming undocking and doing something for a change! I mean he has not done a thing in game for nearly a year. About time for him to undock, get ganked, and then cry about it for the next 3-4 months.
      These stories are the best by far, mings tears are so delicious!

    You have been found "subhuman" by the New Order of Hitler. It has been deemed that you will be sentenced to die like the filthy dogs you are in accordance to the Final Solution. Now send this filth to the gas chamber, before its disease spreads!

  14. I feel so socially isolated, because I never undock, and I'm still not on the top 10 douche bag list. Its okay though I have minerbumping blog to spam and pretend I'm really an agent, when all I am is loud mouth wannabee who lives in his parents basement :)

      What you don't understand is that Agents of the New Order are always right.

      Therefore, when we make a contradiction, it is true. It is you whose has the inferior logic, so it is up to you to learn to understand it. Think of it like the Holy Trinity- It is three, but it is also one. This is true, except you may have a hard time with it, because you lack elevated understanding.

      Buying a permit and following the Code can help with this.

  17. Is my entire motivation for being an agent tear collection? No.
    Do I enjoy tears? Of course.
    Is one of the main purposes of this website to chronicle and catalog carebear tears? Duh.
