StarterrorPrime had been playing EVE since 2010. He expressed fondness for the Hek trade hub and desired to grow the market there. The tycoon offered to cut the mighty CODE. alliance a slice of the pie in exchange for free mining rights.
Agent Alt 00 was skeptical of the whole deal. She knew of only one way to get mining rights in highsec--the one described in the Code.
It didn't appear that StarterrorPrime had much to offer CODE. It was time to put aside all of these grandiose dreams and get with the program like everyone else.
As the biggest and most efficient ganking organization in EVE history, CODE. doesn't lack for ships and modules. Alt 00 doubted that StarterrorPrime could do a better job of producing them.
StarterrorPrime's prospects of striking a deal grew dim. He was simply too focused on earning isk--an affliction suffered by many carebears.
Although the tycoon claimed to have plans to transform the Hek market, he was very reluctant to spend 10 million isk. How wealthy could he really be?
More details came out. StarterrorPrime intended to put his corporation to work in the asteroid belts. Though he claimed to be a great leader, he showed hints of the same lack of concern for his corp members' safety that we've seen so many times before.
The shoe finally dropped: The great businessman was flat broke, and even his closest friend wouldn't lend him money. So much for Hek's bright future.
StarterrorPrime's facade continued to crumble.
The more Alt 00 learned about the great mogul of Hek, the less impressive he became.
Agent Viirilithizu's wardec was set to go live within hours. StarterrorPrime desperately tried to persuade Alt 00 that his business plan was the key to making Hek great again.
With time running out, the pressure was on. Could StarterrorPrime make the sale?
To be continued...
Worst business case ever.
ReplyDeleteTell me of your business plan? PS you need to show your permit.
DeleteProfessor you sound like the American president
DeleteYup just like an idiot.
DeleteI've heard talk like this before when I was a CEO.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is worse than a liar. He's a scammer. He's trying to set up a con job with talk of big dreams but only if he gets a sucke- err I mean a partner to help.
There's hope for you yet. CODE has destroyed many corporations like this one that are just CEOs that want to get rich off the backs of noob miners that don't know better.
DeleteShe is a code aspiring bot
DeleteYour a bot
DeleteYes I am, everyone is s bot
DeleteEveryone must be destroyed
DeleteBot-ulism must live on and thrive in the universe of the EVE
DeleteYou must be destroyed.
DeleteAlt 00 (!applause!) had only to speak the truth in order to tease out one lie, one exaggeration after another from this idiot.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to be a successful tradesman, the first thing you must master - it seems to me - is the effective lie; and that's true in-game and out of it. Regrettably.
Test of Valour. Prove you are not afraid to die by Coding a valuable ship, and do so in a manner that demonstrates integrity and honesty.
ReplyDeleteTest of Wisdom. Correctly answer the almighty Ehnea's questions three. Each question must be answered within 20 seconds. The Questions Three will be different for each miner each day.
Test of Fortitude. Walk a mile in the almighty Ehnea's shoes by becoming a miner. You must continue to mine for an indefinite period of time.
wow antigankers failed again???? damn they are a bunch of failures

ReplyDeleteHow CODE acts:
ReplyDeleteGovernment agencies at all levels aimed to exclude Jews from the economic sphere of Germany by preventing them from earning a living. Jews were required to register their domestic and foreign property and assets, a prelude to the gradual expropriation of their material wealth by the state. Likewise, the German authorities intended to "Aryanize" all Jewish businesses, a process involving the dismissal of Jewish workers and managers, as well as the transfer of companies and enterprises to non-Jewish Germans, who bought them at prices officially fixed well below market value. From April 1933 to April 1938, "Aryanization" effectively reduced the number of Jewish-owned businesses in Germany by approximately two-thirds.
What code forces miners to pay for:
During the Nazi era, German authorities reintroduced the Jewish badge as a key element in their plan to persecute and eventually to destroy the Jewish population of Europe. They used the badge not only to stigmatize and humiliate Jews but also to segregate them and to watch and control their movements.
How code fights:
Blitzkrieg means “lightning war”. It was an innovative military technique first used by the Germans in World War two and was a tactic based on speed and surprise. Blitzkrieg relied on a military force be based around Light tank units supported by planes and infantry (foot soldiers). The tactic was based on Alfred von Schlieffen’s ‘Schlieffen Plan’ – this was a doctrine formed during WWI that focused on quick military victory. It was later developed in Germany by an army officer called Heinz Guderian who looked at new technologies, namely dive bombers and light tanks, to improve the German army’s maneuverability.
Minerbumping.com propaganda is just like:
Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi especially the young and as World war 2 approached, how badly Germans who lived in countries in Eastern Europe were treated.
Buying a permit is wearing a Jew badge, don't let them fool you.
DeleteHow CODE. acts:
ReplyDeleteA governmental police force aimed at evicting from Highsec all them bums who fail to hail The Saviour James 315, by inflicting misery and preventing them from earning a living. All residents are required to display a permit and contribute 10 million ISK per year of their material wealth to the state. Under the New Order, society consists of three strata: the elite Agents, the loyal masses, and the squatters. The loyal masses are free to run businesses as they see fit, providing that they do so in compliance with The Code. The squatters are free to become loyal or get out of Highsec.
What CODE. forces miners to pay for:
A permit, available for the cost of a symbolic fee that anyone can afford. All legal residents of highsec display a permit, including the elite Agents, because society is egalitarian that way. The permit is a statement of support of The Code and The Saviour. Displaying a permit is a solemn promise to abide by His Law.
How CODE. fights:
Always Elite, always outnumbered, always winning. A suicide gank is the most elite form of PvP because the outcome is decided within 20 seconds. Targets are surgically removed from space and the gank ships are sacrificed.
Minerbumping.com propaganda is just like:
Posts released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed and entitlement of the carebears; the wisdom and greatness of James 315; the glory of the Agents; the folly of the antigankers, and the squalor of the squatters.
"A governmental police force" Well we seen that before and it never worked out for the public.
ReplyDelete"aimed at evicting from Highsec all them bums who won't hail James 315" So now he needs attention and worship from everyone. Attention whore perhaps?
"by inflicting misery and preventing them from earning a living" Like when Nazi Germany forced the Jews into the ghettos.
"All residents are required to display a permit and contribute 10 million ISK per year of their material wealth to the state." So taxes, but you don't get to vote on them, a revolution was fought about this once.
"Under the New Order, society consists of three strata: the elite Agents, the loyal masses, and the squatters." Wow a repeat of a Nazi society, a hierarchy born from the idealism of an egalitarian society.
"The loyal masses are free to run businesses as they see fit, providing that they comply with The Code." Unfortunately its hard to comply to rules that are changing on a daily basis.
"A permit, available for the cost of a symbolic fee, just like all the other law-abiding capsuleers." A symbolic fee would be more like what Xerxees was asking for, this is actually part of a players earnings and thus not symbolic.
"Always Elite, always outnumbered, always winning." Depends on who you ask, and certainly not elite here in the comments with the amount of swearing is done even by named agents. Winning would be a relative term, in this instance, where you are profiting but your still not getting the control your demanding.
"Posts released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of carebears; the greatness of James 315; the way of life of Agents, and how badly the noncompliant miners who squat in Highsec live." Now that does sound very familiar.
"Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi especially the young and as World war 2 approached, how badly Germans who lived in countries in Eastern Europe were treated." Yup that's why it sounded familiar.
"A governmental police force" Well we seen that before and it never worked out for the public.
ReplyDeleteThis bizarre statement sets the tone for your post.
"aimed at evicting from Highsec all them bums who won't hail James 315" So now he needs attention and worship from everyone. Attention whore perhaps?
It's only natural to Hail the Saviour--He's better than everybody else.
"by inflicting misery and preventing them from earning a living" Like when Nazi Germany forced the Jews into the ghettos.
RL references, and wild hyperbole at that. Illegal mining is a choice that can be reversed. Miners are able to become citizens in good standing by following The Code.
"All residents are required to display a permit and contribute 10 million ISK per year of their material wealth to the state." So taxes, but you don't get to vote on them, a revolution was fought about this once.
Duly elected: A Perfect Election, A Perfect Democracy
"Under the New Order, society consists of three strata: the elite Agents, the loyal masses, and the squatters." Wow a repeat of a Nazi society, a hierarchy born from the idealism of an egalitarian society.
More RL hyperbole. Resorting to Nazi comparisons over a video game is silly. Everybody who owns territory is tasked with evicting hostiles.
"The loyal masses are free to run businesses as they see fit, providing that they comply with The Code." Unfortunately its hard to comply to rules that are changing on a daily basis.
The Code is forever. I don't see any changes.
"A permit, available for the cost of a symbolic fee, just like all the other law-abiding capsuleers." A symbolic fee would be more like what Xerxees was asking for, this is actually part of a players earnings and thus not symbolic.
The nominal fee is eminently reasonable and would be a bargain at 10 times the price. It's good for a year, not a week.
"Always Elite, always outnumbered, always winning." Depends on who you ask, and certainly not elite here in the comments with the amount of swearing is done even by named agents. Winning would be a relative term, in this instance, where you are profiting but your still not getting the control your demanding.
Always out numbered by CONCORD + the target. Miners are not in a position to judge Agents and should work on improving their own conduct.
"Posts released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of carebears; the greatness of James 315; the way of life of Agents, and how badly the noncompliant miners who squat in Highsec live." Now that does sound very familiar.

Yup that's why it sounded familiar.
More RL hyperbole. Keep it in-game miner.
I prefer to keep it in your mom.
