I don't think this got much coverage in the big EVE news sites, but the New Order won a key victory in the war against bot-aspirancy: An unlicensed Retriever was successfully ganked by our Agents. The miner's Kernite became especially fiery that day.
After what seemed like an eternity, Prince Ugly roused himself and tried to warn other carebears about that whole "miner ganking" thing that was going on.
Agent Aaaarrgg offered soothing words to console the miner, but he was rebuffed. Prince Ugly was the kind of miner who gnashes his teeth while claiming not to be angry.
With the assistance of a well-placed emoticon, Aaaarrgg engaged in some high-speed rapport building and got the miner to confess his guilt in no time at all. They make this look so much more difficult on TV.
Prince Ugly didn't care about his loss--but he despised those who killed him. At the same time, he despaired of doing anything about it. The miner was sliding into nihilism.
Just as Agent Aaaarrgg was getting ready to type a really persuasive argument into local chat, he was interrupted by yet another disaffected carebear.
Gias Octavian, a hauler pilot, was tired of trying to dodge gankers. He vowed to quit the game. (Studies show that he probably won't.)
Gias Octavian didn't give his stuff to Aaaarrgg, so our Agent's attention returned to the whiny miner. Prince Ugly was a hardened bot-aspirant. Convincing him to buy a permit would be a monumental task.
Our hero deployed the name of the Saviour of Highsec. Prince's resistance didn't soften, though. There would be no silver bullet solution today.
Aaaarrgg had no choice but to put in the work. He deftly parried the miner's argument. Now it was Aaaarrgg's turn to go on the offensive.
The true depth of Prince's bot-aspirancy was revealed: He had no intention of playing EVE "actively". He preferred video games where he could be inactive while working his RL job.
There was no doubt that if Prince could safely bot, he would. The odds of selling a mining permit to someone like this weren't good. Not good at all.
To be continued...
Generating ISK while not present at your keyboard goes against the multiplayer nature of EVE. How many times has a new player in a seemingly busy system greeted the locals and been effectively rebuffed because they were all AFK? How did he feel about it? Making ISK without effort is as harmful to EVE as botting.
ReplyDeleteThis is why it's so great that CCP created Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). They spawn unpredictably and send out tough rats all over the system. The rats aggress without tackling, so bots and bot-aspirants are relieved of their vessels while real players can just warp off.
Congratulations on taking down the threat Agent Aaaarrgg!
Even CCP doesn't like AFK fucks.
DeleteLol 634 is a triggered internet tough guy. He has no authority, in-game or rl.
DeleteSounds like john pirtle want's to be a cop when he grows up. What is it with impotent carebears pretending to be in the criminal justice system? Kinda like foxbolt claiming to be a federal officer when in reality he was a laid-off security guard.
Carebears are real shitters.
Calm down murder lovers.
Delete"Generating ISK while not present at your keyboard goes against the multiplayer nature of EVE."
ReplyDeleteThen why is PI part of the game? That is how I have made my billions, and never once ganked by Jamey's CHODE. slaves.
Chode slaves, you mean criminals, the code is a terrorist training camp focused on praising killing, child killers, child molestation, and mad shootings. James is a radical Islamist who wants to kill people and teach others to be martyrs for a jihad.
DeleteCalm down john pirtle
DeleteThat is the most beta male career in eve online.
DeleteWait a sec, you come here anonabeta 608 to whine yet claim CODE. Has never ganked you?
DeleteAre you retarded or just a liar?
Imagine getting upset enough to cry like a bitch on a forum about people who have never done anything to you.
You encounter the full spectrum of autists when playing EVE these days.
Who does that lol.
Calm down murder lovers.
DeleteLooks like a good guy called out your criminal behavior and informed you how low you are, calling shooting up civilians elite pvp, that's like saying running over kids in a monster truck is elite combat.
ReplyDeleteCalm down carebear vermin.
DeleteNah, they just call running over kids in trucks cultural enrichment over in Europe.
DeleteLol looks like you triggered shitters will never learn how to EVE, or how to leave rl out of game.
DeleteYou are mad over the mere existence of the Code, and your inability to affect a change in your miserable in-game condition.
You will always lose to gankers while mining in highsec.
Always!
pvp = player vs player
Deletedon't forget it XD
also - don't forget shardani
Calm down murder lovers.
DeleteOh how can we forget your greatest agent he took pvp to a new level.
Elite PVP = player vs illegal miner/hauler.
Delete"I versed you"
ReplyDeleteAre all agents this dumb?
Aargg is not known for his great writing skills however he is really good at ganking, so there is that.
DeleteThat's the best line in the whole convo! If you are too stupid to understand satirical comedy, that's your problem. Aaaarrgg just pvp'd your ignorant ass and you didn't even know it.
DeleteI loled.
Calm down murder lovers.

Worthy advice for the career vermin who break this eula every day.
DeleteEvery gank that removes carebrar scum from our beloved game is to be applauded.
And those who remain: pay your dues and accept James 315 into your heart. Or suffer the consequences.
tl;dr
DeleteLook out we have another internet space lawyer.
DeleteCalm down murder lovers
DeletePraise Jesus.
Delete@ Anon 6:53
DeleteYou are right those are the rules... Tell me where in the rules that running a protection Racket (Which this is) or suicide ganking is illegal. You can't can you.
STFU and go back to WoW if you can't play with the big boys. While I don't prescribe to the Code. playstyle I realize It's a legitimate game play style and act accordingly. Its not that hard to avoid this.
Yes ganks still happen and I can occasionally suffer that fate, but all one can do is limit the damage, learn from the mistake, and realize that losing ships is part of the game, no matter how you play.
PRO TIP: Stop being bad and HTFU.
Prince ugly is not mad but has a lot to say anyway. I wonder what emotion he was feeling if it was indeed something other then anger.
ReplyDeleteim just here to remind everyone that antiganking literally login to a game and use mummys credit card to watch code dunk miners/freighters/other carebears daily.
ReplyDeletehow embarrassing to still be failing to stop code after so many years.
never forget shardani.
To be fair, I must note that antiganking is one of the few activities in EvE that can be done with a free alpha account with 100% efficiency.
Deleteanon 2:18 - I 100% agree. Anyone can just watch freighters blowing up on their face and fail non-stop daily XDXDXD
DeleteWell wolf one day you too can have your own credit card when mommy is tired of you killing people, or when you do like your buddy shardani and kill her like he did his kid.
ReplyDeleteNow please murder lover calm down.
is it me or Code Always Wins?
ReplyDeleteHappy post-turkey apocalypse
