Highsec Miner Grab Bag #81

No matter where in the world you live, complaining about the government is always a popular thing to do. Even highsec's government--the New Order--takes flak from the citizens it so diligently serves.


Everyone's a critic. And as you ponder Hitomi Nabalia's in-game house fires, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to another edition of the Highsec Miner Grab Bag.


Presumably Koor Vokter is referring to an in-game concept of some sort. Is there a skill that takes six months to train?


I was alarmed when Kishu Tenderpaw reported that an Agent of the New Order hadn't followed proper protocol. Cue the investigation that exonerates the Agent in five seconds...


Yeah, that's was never gonna fly. Sometimes people ask me whether they can buy 10 million isk worth of New Order stock and have that simultaneously count as their 10 million isk mining permit fee. It doesn't work that way--you need to specifically buy a permit. An "extortion tax" would be a separate expense.


Meanwhile, in the Anti-Ganking channel, carebears complain that Agents are too quick to send in frivolous petitions. It really is Bizarro EVE in that place.


Trends come and go. In the past, carebears wished cancer on the family members of our Agents. Now there's a lot of fire-related stuff.


Remember, folks, Jake Lawson Vherokior went on this rant because he watched someone else's Retriever get ganked. Highsec miners can be a bit touchy, I've found.


What if, instead of threatening to cancel their EVE subscriptions, ganked miners cancelled their subscriptions to the games they really play? Then they could pay an appropriate level of attention to EVE.


It was a tale as old as time: Sovea Vyvorant was a brand-new EVE player. Having been ganked by the mean ol' New Order, he was now completely out of cash. If you check his profile, you'll find that Sovea really was new. Have we, at long last, found a genuine newbie who was bankrupted by gankers?


Better luck next time.


"Look bro, I was on the phone, mate." Bro or mate. Choose one.


Now that's more like it. There are still some miners in highsec who care about their fellow corp members.

    1. Tweeps,

      If I start a Hisec mining corp, will you come on as a recruiter with director roles?
      I need someone trustworthy to help me run my ore buyback program and recruit new members :P

  3. Not Elite PVP... If you really want elite PVP check out Mordus Angels. Compared to them, Loyal and Co. are just a bunch of scrugs.

    7. Highsec is where the elite pvp is. Come out to Halaima when you feel like you're ready for it.

  4. Strong people do not put others down, but rather they help them up.
    Based on this, i would say all of code is weak, rather then strong.

    2. Actually, we in Code. are always looking to help others. It's up to the others to accept this help. You see, the best lessons learned aren't those that are said with kind word, rather harsh actions. The truth is, the ones who are truly weak are the ones who do nothing but complain and expect others to do something about it for them. You know those dangling things that hang from a males midsection? You need to grow a pair..it's rather sad when it's a woman telling you this. :)

    1. Rating posts is sick behavior and should be moderated by CCP and the raters should have their characters banned.

  6. I love the last one.. "I was on the phone bro". SO DOCK UP. lets put it into perspective shall we...so you're driving along and you get a phone call...then BAM!..you crash and wreck your car because you were on the phone. Now by the carebear mentality, it would only be natural to blame the phone or the other driver..rather than accept it was your own lack of attention and common sense. It would have been so easy to just pull over...but no..that call was SOOOO important that you just couldn't take those extra measures to ensure safety....Does it make sense now? Probably not. You can't make a blind man see...especially when it's so much easier to blame someone else than to accept ones own stupidity. If you want to be safe, pull over, dock up..or stfu. That is all :P
