Kills of the Week

What's this whole New Order thing all about? Yes, we claim control of all highsec, but why? What's our vision for highsec? You could write volumes on the subject--and some of us have--but there are ways to simplify it. The tl;dr version is, we want to see highsec live up to its full potential. Now then, did highsec meet our expectations during the week of May 10th @ 00:00 EVEtime through May 16th @ 23:59 EVEtime?


In a word, no. Not when the people of highsec are suiciding dozens of freighters into Uedama.



Among the many dead was Miss NBT and her 9.3 billion isk jump freighter. Look at the nanofibers on that Ark. Those aren't the kind of fittings that say, "James 315, I respect you and your vision for my EVE career. This is me living up to my full potential. Did you get my 10 million isk payment before I purchased this vessel?"

Agents Chenshar, loyalanon, Bratok Srayona, Kusotarre, Aaaarrgg, Talon Calais, Pod-Goo RepoWoman, R4 Scarr Gill, Sasha Cohenberg, Sophia Soprano, Asia Leigh, Aide Royale, Six Beavers, karma balancer, Chocolate Mooses, and reaper Shardani rode to the rescue and did away with this Ark. May the next one be stronger.



Remember when CCP was asking itself what kind of new ships people wanted, and they made another big hauler? Verity Dawn did, and she made use of the Bowhead to move a bunch of stuff through highsec. Granted, she had three EHP-boosting mods in the lowslots. But as I'm always telling my Agents, look to the rigs. That is where you'll see the carebear's true desire. Verity created a speed-fit Bowhead. It didn't pass muster, though. Agents loyalanon, Braggs Seyllin, Talon Calais, John E Normus, Zane Arnolles, Sasha Cohenberg, Rakeris, Mildron Klinker, Aaaarrgg, Pilot Solette, Mark Eting, Pod-Goo RepoWoman, Morrigan Laima, Ammutseba Gangulur, Shaari Aviata, Molly Klinker, and AeleDeux rejected it and burned it to cinders.



You all know me. I'm old school. I started playing EVE over 9 years ago (or as a miner would say, I'm a new player). When you ask me about battleships, I'll tell you about Megathrons or whatever. I was surprised to see Yotsuba Btulip die in a "Barghest", which is apparently a new battleship. Barghest. Sounds more like something a miner screams when you blow up his Retriever. But anyway, Agents Sophia Soprano and loyalanon saw one of these autopiloting through Hek, so they killed it. 1.4 billion isk battleships for autopiloting. What will they think of next?



One of the great things about the New Order is that we enable our Agents to realize their dreams. Agent Jaxi Wreckful was telling me about his earnest wish that mission runners would get more compliant, or die at his hands. Thus was born the "The Elite Murder Squad". They help make sure mission runners are held accountable for what they do or don't do. Sergey Antipov was lounging around in a 2.2 billion isk Golem. Agents John E Normus, Aaaarrgg, loyalanon, Jaxi Wreckful, AeleDeux, Jeni Savage, Mark Eting, Sophia Soprano, and Dr Caroline Johnson formed up and took Sergey down the first, difficult, step toward Code compliance.



Speaking of realizing one's dreams, Aya Nix's Mackinaw doesn't look like anything special. On its own, it isn't. But you see a different picture if you look at the totality of Agents Rick Therapist and Brutal Anna's kills:


Rick Therapist (assisted by his partners, Brutal Anna and Carebears' Nightmare), have killed a lot of Exhumers. Aya Nix's Mackinaw was the 1,000th exhumer they destroyed. That's a lot of lives to touch. Every day, our Agents make sure EVE is an unforgettable experience.



Earlier, CCP handed out a bunch of Genolution implants and drove their prices down. Suddenly, the carebears of highsec had much cheaper pods. Somehow, Dad Fox still managed to lose a 2 billion isk pod. His crystals were shattered by Agent Aaaarrgg, who popped him in a 1.0 security system. Carebears, don't hide behind CONCORD. We'll find you every time. Seek shelter in the Code.

  2. i was just wondering.
    do you want to stop miners, haulers and pve players ? and if so what are they supposed to do in new eden when or if you achieve your goal?

    1. Keep following the Code of course.

    2. ok so if they pay you the 10 mill they can stay in high sec and do what they like even if they still avoid any interaction with other oplayers ? as long as they pay you the 10 mill don't go afk and are not using a bot ?

      Delete
    3. The code isn't about stopping mining - it's about ensuring people realize there are better way to spend their time in New Eden.

      Mining is the least interactive game play that CCP has offered - even playing the market requires more active dedication and clicks.

      Having content producers makes the game interesting to play, Code or Anti-Code. Make your stand and make your anti-matter count.

    5. Anon, take some time. Meditate on the Code. Your answer is within your heart. You only need to meditate on the Code and find it. Can I interest you in a mining permit?

    6. maybe if i can figure out if you guys really are "the good guys " or not after some of the stuff i see here i'm even more confused than ever now .

      Delete
    7. Anon, it's simple. We work hard to make Hisec and EVE a better place by providing content and fighting against those who would turn it into a giant grindbox. We also add a bit of flavor and fun.
      Carebears and anti-gankers like "Butthurt Miner" whine and spout racist, homophobic comments. Others make jokes about rape and real-life threats.
      Whose side would you rather be on?
      Any Code agent would gladly accept you into the fold and teach you the ways of the Gallant.

      Delete
    8. Anon, feel free to message me in-game and I'll be happy to answer your questions about the Code, our goals, and our philosophy. We are very much the good guys in highsec, and we're trying very hard to save Eve from the insidious decline caused by PvE carebears' demands for 100% safety. It's hard to carry on conversations over these comments though (too easy to miss a reply and lose the thread of the convo), so I'd rather use the in-game mail system if you don't mind.

    2. Quite well actually...how has it worked for DJ, D400, Erotica1, Malcom Shinwa, and the rest of the sociopaths, all permabanned from the game?

      Sociopaths, whether in computer games or in real life, eventually get their due, and are removed from polite society.

    3. Veers I support code, was sad to see those go. But what you do not understand, in eve terms I am an indy and pve player. Who happily donates to code and its friends.
      Yet if I don't respect what's going on around me, I get bitten by the likes of code or other similar pvp corps.
      Do I get upset when this happens? Answers NO. I give a good fight to then, even chat and make friends in the game. You might say I am a rarity in the way I think has an indy / pve player. I rather tho think I am a new breed who will work hand in hand with all styles of game play. And accept my actions determine how I survive in eve.

  5. The CODE cannot apply to Skiffs, right?

    That is what I was told by many players on the EVE-O forums, and by in-game players who regularly mine AFK in the Everyshore region. The Angymonne ice field also seemed to have bot fleets operating, using Skiffs. None of these Skiff players have permits in their bios.

    They told me that a Skiff can be ganked in theory, but the CODE players only enforce on easier targets like Mackinaws and Hulks because it is too hard to get enough players together to gank all of the Skiffs. And freighters are more profitable targets for gank gangs, anyways, right? Also, they say Skiffs are hard to bump?

    The killboards seem to support this claim, and I don't remember seeing any Skiff kills mentioned in this blog, either.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Look me up and zkill and you will see that the CODE does apply to Skiffs, and that Skiffs still have a LONG way to go in their quest to become code compliant.

      Delete
    2. Skiffs, while not necessarily Code Compliant, are a step in the right direction. It is only a bot-aspirant that cannot sacrifice yield and less frequent interaction with the game for the added safety of the tankier versions of the mining ships.

      Those who have abandoned their Mackinaw for a Skiff are acknowledging the power of the New Order and are on their way to Code Compliance even if they have not yet arrived.

      Delete
    3. @Chocolate Mooses: I look you up on zkill, but I count only 20 Skiff kills, out of 500+ mining ship kills. That is not very many. So, your kill record say that tanked Skiffs are maybe too hard to kill, even for skilled CODE agent.

      @290xanaots: Ok I think you say confirm that it is mostly ok to mine AFK, even without CODE license, as long as use tanked Skiff instead of untanked Mackinaw. Since CODE agent prefer to kill less CODE compliant miners first.

      Conclusion = tanked Skiff is too hard to enforce 100% CODE compliance

      Delete
    4. Its called a stabber. This blog isn't called Minerbumping for no reason >.>

      Delete
    5. Skiffs simply require a larger fleet, and that requires more planning. As more and more miners switch to using Procurers and skiffs, so we will switch to larger fleets. There's no such thing as any mining ship in high-sec that can survive a wave of about 35 tech 1 catalysts, which is also dirt cheap and super fun.

      As the bot-aspirant does everything short of buying a permit, those of us who enforce the will of the New Order will always adapt and continue to make sure that high-sec is as exciting and full of emergent gameplay as possible for them.

      Delete
    6. thats the caliber of code right there....

      " There's no such thing as any mining ship in high-sec that can survive a wave of about 35 tech 1 catalysts"
      that's code "prowess " for you LOL

      Delete
    7. @Anon6:15
      The carebear obviously is unaware of the skill that it takes to successfully coordinate 35 tech 1 catalysts. This is because it mines, and alone at that.

      I'd even wager that this particular carebear has never experienced a fleet warp before. How disconsolate.

      Delete
    8. @ 6:15

      Have you ever tried to FC anything more then a multi-boxing mining fleet? Try it sometime then come back and talk to me how easy it is. Until then I'll treat your "it's easy" as nothing more then it is, tears.

    1. Anon104, you are partially correct. You can do whatever you want in EVE. But you must understand that the Code is the Law. Perhaps if you posted with your in-game name, an Agent will reach out to you and offer you a mining permit.

    1. That post imitating James was not relevant, and a perfect example of "See? This is why we can't have nice things."

      Wake me up if they moderate an anti-code post that isn't just BS designed to make people mad. Besides, the moderator is doing us a favor. People who do crap like that make us look bad. I wouldn't want people to think I was part of a group that posts bile like that.

    2. Quit complaining, you know that post had nothing to do with the discussion, and was only posted to piss as many people off as they could.

      This has nothing to do with censorship, and everything to do with decency. No one wants to log in and see that crap everyday. If you do, I'm sure there are blogs out there that except your morbid and indecent methods of trolling.

  15. Just goes to show the lies that code does. James makes this site with the vow he will never censor any part of the forums. Then he does a post that code does not like and suddenly he is going back on his word and censoring the forums. Fits in with the lies his minions do for him.

    1. I thought we all agreed a few articles ago that trolling about rape wasn't acceptable in the comments section? Do we really need John to do up an article to explain step by step what is and what is not acceptable? Has the carebears really come to this?

      Its easy, no trolling about sexually vile crap. Not that hard to understand....

    2. Yes asia, we did agree to this, but as you all say james is above laws. James posted that comment, and i commented on it, and i dare say i was respectful to james in my reply. No trolling on my part, i just wish james any and all help he needs (as i would wish for anyone else in need).

    9. @ Maria
      Sorry, i always post with my tag of -=M=-, Always said i will and i always will. You can think i wrote it if you want, or not, but thats the way code thinks. If it takes me being a scapegoat to show how sick the majority of code is, then im willing. I have helped the innocents before, and despite your protests and claims to the opposite i honestly am on james side in what happened to him. Its just to bad code, who claim to worship the dirt he walks on will not do the same. In the end this is all about james and his needing help to get over his mistreatments in the past (which he posted about himself). So @ Maria, Asia, and Ming, i have just one question. Are you so against me that you dont want james to get help that he needs?
      If you are thats really sad.

    10. @ 8:07

      Then why be the only person who is complaining about the removal of an obviously inflammatory post if you didn't do it. No one else here seems to care, but you.

      You really don't think that James actually wrote that post, especially with imposterAnon still running around? Do you? I have a billion Isk that says you are in fact ImposterAnon. Wish to prove me wrong? By all means i'm all eyes and ears to see and hear what evidence you have to the contrary.

      You have to see it from our point of view why we would think it was you.

      Delete
    11. James didn't write the post due to the obvious misspelling that was inherent in the post, which is a trademark of -m's- posting. The Saviour doesn't misspell words. Nor does He assault gay people with foul language like -M-, and his cohort PoopAnon seem to think is haute couture these days.

      Delete
    12. Have at it as you will maria and ming, ill not stoop to your level and sling mud. I will however say again that im wishing james (and anyone who suffered like him), all the best, and a good recovery.
      If you need to claim it was me, so be it, but those who know me, know it was not me. They are the people who matter, not code ;)
      Unlike code, i will help those in need, even james if need be.

    13. Still sticking with that story huh? Why don't you just share your retriever loss to us, so we can go forward with helping you through this difficult time. Trust me your retriever is in a better place now. Its okay to mourn over your loss though, its normal. When your ready we will be here for you :)

      Delete
    14. @ asia
      First of all, since i do not own or use retrievers, i do not see how i could have lost a retriever. If you can answer that please do.
      Second, i have only lost 3 ships in all the time i have played eve, which is since 2005. Two of those where in 2005, the 3rd was in 2006, which if im not mistaken where all well before code was around. If you can answer to me how that is a loss to code, im all ears :)
      Like many players in the game, i learned from losses, adapted and grew beyond it. Because of that your failed (common theme for code) taunts at me having lost a retriever are just that, failures.
      Before you ask, no i wont provide you with my name, beyond my tag of -=M=-, simply because im smart enough not to give you that information. Even thou i could deal with it, i do not feel your needs outweigh me being harrassed in game.
      Third and lastly, no i have not just been in combat with players 3 times (my 3 losses from above). I actully do kill players in game, and have a few code member ships that i managed to put as notches in my belt. I could prove it, but why do i need to? Its not like anyone from code is important enough for me to have to prove it to.

      -=M=-

      P.S. Since code is supposedly 'so good' at infilitrating corps and doing corp thefts, as well as finding out info on players, why have none of you yet figured out who i am? I am on several hours every day, own my own corp, and give isk to the needy on a regular basis. Surely it cant be that hard to figure out who i am? Or is that to hard a task?

      Delete
    15. @-=M=-
      Maybe they don't care who you think you are? You say you do this and that and never fly this b and you give ISK to the poor bla bla bla.... just words without proof. I can say I'm the president of the USA. Has about the same weight of crap your spewing.

      And regarding the "censorship"... It's not a publicly owned blog. The owners can permit whatever they like and delete what they do not. If people have a problem with vile homophobic rape trolling being deleted then they are free to construct their own blog and allow that sort of stuff in it. I would say you should be happy that your allowed to post anonymously at all.

    17. Ah yes, I forgot, M is a null-sec miner, except he isn't a miner, and has never been ganked, actually he isn't even an eve player, or a player....the more he talks, the more he tries to divorce himself from the run-of-the-mill retriever ganks he totally never suffered through.

      It's a little funny how the more M talks, the less convincing he is.

    18. The thing I find funny, right after that fake James got posted he decides to come back after about a month of not hearing from him. (That is if you believe is story about not being ImposterAnon.)

      Come on he can't make it any more obvious. Nevermind the fact he is the only one complaining it got took down.

      Delete
    19. NO IT WASN'T HIM BECAUSE HE SAID IT WASN'T HIM AND MINERS NEVER LIE.

      It's almost adorable watching him learn about meta-gaming through this site though. He learned about posting under alts when he made that anonymous comment "from a miner M gave money to" after we started making fun of him for how transparently false his claims to have out-donated Ming were. He learned about false-flag posts after I started posting as M, making fun of his creepy obsession with *touching Ming in some contrived way*. He learned about making gmail accounts to post with an identity and character portrait after Ming, I, and others started doing it when he got over-enthusiastic with the fake-name posts.

      He's annoying, but he's an interesting character. I hope someday, as he keeps learning about human interaction and metagaming, he realizes that his initial knee-jerk judgement that "CODE are teh baddies" was wrong. I don't know if he has what it takes to make a good Agent, but perhaps someday he'll stop trying so hard to fight us through shiptoasting. It's not like it's been effective so far.

    20. So maria just admited to being the fake M.

    21. Uh, yeah dude. I've mentioned being one of the fake M's 3 or 4 times in the comments by now. I also did one of the fake Veers, but I think for a while everyone was fake Veers.

      Apart from the token "Ah ha! Gotcha!", have anything else to say? Maybe try to deflect from how obvious you've been so far?

    22. Maria did admit to being at least one of the fake -M-s some time ago.
