Don't Feed the Trolls
"Nobody warned me about the Code," says the carebear. In fact, the carebears hear about little else. Our Agents are EVE celebrities, hailed by the locals in every system.
Stan Twiddle tried to get our Agents to stop PvP'ing him, but they were having too much fun. The result was a terrific explosion and the loss of Stan's 3 billion isk freighter.
Australian Excellence and his colleagues from the Gate Tax Collection Agency assembled a lot of firepower and pulled off an impressive gank. Stan was too poor a sport to congratulate them on their achievement, though.
Thanks to the mighty CODE. alliance, Poinen local was buzzing with excitement. A random local advised Stan not to "feed the trolls". Stan could only hold his tongue for a few minutes. Then he shed some tears and left the system.
Australian asked the question that everyone was thinking: Where was Anti-Ganking during that gank? Highsec Militia ten-star super-admiral Thomas en Chasteaux confirmed that all AG personnel were already assigned to the task of non-stop failing daily. Therefore there was no one available to try to stop the gank.
Another carebear spoke up. Kor stavik didn't feel the need to hide behind any pretense: He immediately admitted that he'd been ganked by CODE. before. It was true; he'd recently lost a poorly tanked Mackinaw.
Poinen local had been dead before our Agents arrived. No longer. It hosted a group therapy session for all of the New Order's "victims". But at least local wasn't silent anymore.
Kor was interrupted by another "don't feed the trolls" request in local chat. Would it work this time?
Kor's tears were far too important. His rant took priority over the need to deprive our Agents of salt.
In fact, people have been saying for many years that the New Order would be defeated if only everyone stopped talking about us. "Don't give them content," urge the rebels. But this is like trying to achieve world peace by telling people to stop fighting.
Kor was spreading poisonous lies in local, so Australian took the opportunity to clear up some misconceptions about the New Order. Poinen deserved the truth.
Our Agents' humility is pretty darned legendary. (They learned it from me.)
Kor groaned about the burden of being a new player in CODE. territory. I'll save you the trouble of looking him up, dear reader: He's been playing EVE for over 5 years.
The carebear tried to passive-aggressively curse our Agent. Australian only needed a few seconds to think about how to reply:
The miner decided to take some time off from playing EVE, which was probably for the best. Kor's impromptu vacation was a good opportunity to catch up on his reading. If you're an EVE player, the Code should be at the top of your summer reading list. Or winter reading list, if you're in Australia.

Uh oh, looks like wolf lost her kids to the AG ex hubby.
DeleteIts not nice to poke fun at her loss.
DeleteIts also not nice to poke fun at a dead person Wolf.

But you don't actually save anything.
DeleteTo think that some miserable, filthy, snivelling, player-of-the-pink-oboe carebear would dare rip off Lexx and besmirch the good name of Stanley Tweedle, is an insult and an outrage.
ReplyDeleteThey have no shame, and so they have no ships.
Umm yeah its a free world dipshit, that's why Nazis like you fail so hard in both this game and RL.
DeleteAww and there goes the equal society you all pride yourselves on being. Cant even lie to yourselves anymore.
DeleteLet me know when you have that PHD and understand exactly what your doing. Don't worry I will wait for the correct answer, though I KNOW you will never get it right even if you live to be a thousand.
DeleteBTW Yes the REAL WORLD is hardly free, I was referring to the gaming world because I can differentiate between reality and a game unlike you sperging so hard I can feel your blood pressure rise.
As for the "You have no shame, go fuck off nazi." I didn't write that one but damn I might as well have.
Yes I can drive the airport I do enjoy travel I suggest you try it, it could relieve that stress you seem to have an issue with, however my mother is sadly passed away so I have to drive myself I cannot be as fortunate as you to get your mother to drive you around.
Have a good day. Or not you seem to enjoy bad days getting so upset over a comment.
Anon 3:51: Carebears are so easy to catch. Cast the line, and out they come a-wrigglin'
DeleteYup just look at them all sperging on their own site.
Delete"A lesser man would gloat."
ReplyDeleteI'm going to borrow that line.
Borrow away Eugene
DeleteStraight from his own fingers, he typed that a "lesser man would gloat" yet here on his own blog he is gloating.
DeleteAccepting your a lesser man is the first step in recovery.
Then why is James gloating?
DeleteAnd over ganking?
Time and time again?
Why on a website outside of the CCP jurisdiction?
Is he using this as a go around to the "don't name victims or gankers" rule in Eve forums?
Yes Lawrence, you are the lesser man
DeleteHe knows.

That's actually not me, it's someone who likes to pose as me, but post completely innocuous comments. It's weird, I know. Usually when an anon poster impersonates you, it's so they can post something outlandish or out of character for you. Not this guy.
DeleteCarry on, benign imposter! o7

Carry on my wayward pig, there'll be peace when you are done, lay your weary head to rest, don't you cry no more.
DeleteIts official no one in code knows you and your just a fake on this blog trying to act like you belong.
ReplyDeleteOMG these guys didn't hesitate to call you code Nazis out, cant get em one on one you gang up. Your failures at your own game and they wont even give you a second look. Yup you guys know how to be AN HERO's.
ReplyDeleteAnd the word spreads that the code is nothing but gankers and nothing more. Your words have no more meaning nor power as people wont give in to your BS and Nazism. Looks like no one cares for you. Go have a cry on us, Please I miss hearing your whines, moans, and tears as you rage on your own site.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the nerfed blog of the famous code Nazis, here they celebrate a group of players telling others that talking to the code Nazi just isn't worth it and he should just forget about them all together.
ReplyDeleteHey James your plan to prevent plex inflation failed how would you like to comment on that failure?
ReplyDeleteWould you rather take up the issue with the market analysts hired on by CCP gaming?
Who are you blaming, as it seems that miners are not responsible for destroying plex or making a shortage of plex?
"The miner decided to take some time off from playing EVE, which was probably for the best."
ReplyDeleteAnd you still think that you don't cause new players to quit for some reason.
I truly believe that the end goal of James 315 is to end eve by eliminating new players.
DeleteBy forcing new players to a rigid regime by which is counter to the gameplay desire, that being that one can choose their own path while in eve, then you eliminate the very thing that brings most new players into the game.
The idea of being able to choose your own way in the universe and create a playstyle all your own is what draws in many players, however once saddled with knowledge that you will be harassed and constantly killed despite your best efforts as a new player then one would quit, and in turn never pay a subscription.
To further the narrative that you cannot evade these rules one would simply put up a new way of advertising the campaign by creating a forum where they can post their victories and spin propaganda to discourage new players from playing in their own way. It also helps to show that even older players who have worked hard to skill up and start venturing into lower security space are not exempt once they travel through a high security area (the learning areas).
To further the point to new players that they may not do as they please it also helps to provide posts of skilled veteran PvP players being subjugated to the rules of the controlling organization once they enter into the high security areas.
Once the new player realizes that they cannot progress through the game with an easy and safe-ish starting area from which they may learn and cut their teeth or test their ability they will of course turn to other entertainment venues. A new player is lost.
The organization will laud it as victory while the game and its marketing advisers will see this as loss, not because of a single player but because by the rules of marketing, one unsatisfied consumer represents 26 other dissatisfied consumers. That compounded by the number of players currently in game and you can see that for ever person who complains to CCP there are 26 others who will simple not and just go elsewhere, and there truly are lots of complaints. One only has to read these article to see that there are people voicing their opinions.
So if one is trying to end a game this is the best way to do so, discourage the new players and let time tick away, the end result, the game dies.
Respectfully, Anon, that's a load of bollocks. And I use the term lightly.
DeleteSome folks just aren't ready for EVE and, having landed in Highsec, do their level best to prove it to themselves and everyone else. The sensible ones cut their losses, and leave. The others remain, to become targets for more attuned players (or, of course, to mend their ways and have a ball).
I think the game is comatose anyway, and the clinicians are simply applying whatever the latest go-to therapies happen to be. Always too little, always too late - and usually botched.
You can probably tell that I'll not be distraught when the servers go dark. It's been fun; but fun is an eminently transferable experience.
Cheer up!
If ganking was bad for CCP's business, would they not have implemented a strict PVE mechanism to avoid non-consensual PVP
Delete? Your long-ass wall of text is invalid because lack of logic. Nicely paragraphed though.
Well Mr. Wilhelm seems you don't understand much of how the industry works. Study up on that, and please do try to study up on how to respond intelligibly without making an ass of yourself.
DeleteHowever I would like to take this opportunity address Mr. Thompson. You sir show a deal of intelligence and wisdom with a knowledge of language that allows you a superior and professional writing degree that is indicative of an educated man. It is good to know there are such people in gaming today, I tip my hat to you good sir.
Rob, your mind has diminished and you are now a lamb
DeleteThat's quite a lengthy diatribe of tears.
DeleteI'll begin scratching it into my thigh with a rusty pair of compasses now.

Yup as disturbed in RL as you are in game.
Deletehttp://www.minerbumping.com/2015/03/ccp-proves-new-order-was-right-about.html
Deleteccp tried to prove ganking causes lost subscriptions. in fact, it does not.
@Anon5:55 - Funny, all I read is an unfounded ad hominem and a lecture on how to respond intelligibly. In a single post.
DeleteI, for one, would like to apologize for the anonymous cowards desperately trying to suppress free speech and truth on this blog.
ReplyDeleteIf they wanted to find nazis, they'd only need look in the mirror.
And here we see a Nazi trying to copy "V for Vendetta" to try and place blame upon their victims.
DeleteSo true anyone who moderates a blog to keep differing opinions from others is definitely trying to suppress free speech and is most definitely a Nazi.
DeleteThanks for pointing that out.
We ought to rename carebears "little fishes". Slimey, scaley, brainless little creatures living in the depths, that are so easy to catch.
DeleteTight lines!
What victims? The only victims are carebears' wives and children.
DeleteCarebears are literally worse than Josef Fritzl
Comparing this game to a RL crimes, you need help anon620, this is a game! Seek help.
DeleteFirst thing I did after creating my account in game was finding the forums. Thats where you find out about CODE and other things happening.
ReplyDeleteWell studied but as you can see from their own posting people still only see them as trolls. Happy gaming.
DeleteNow I see why AG cant fight code nor get anyone to fight code.
ReplyDeleteNo one gives a fuck about code except Russell and code.
TOTAL FAIL!
