After my previous realizations that actually trying to stop The New Order would be far more effort than would be fun, and not to mention not very profitable, I decided to evacuate my Manticore from Aufay and replace it with, somewhat ironically, a cheaply-fit Catalyst. Not a gank blaster-fit mind you, but a fast-locking, mobile rail-fit. While I'm not so inclined to gank hapless freighters in hisec at the moment, I did see quite an opportunity to make money from the activities of TNO.
This evening, I spent ~2 hours in Aufay, jumping between gate to gate, watching for ganks to unfold so I could collect some bounties. After not too long, I get an invite from a CODE. member (loyalanon) to join them on voice comms. I decline at first so that I can put my daughter to bed (real life always trumps Internet spaceships), but when I get back, I join up. What I found was rather surprising.
Having spent some time in a nullsec alliance in my previous time in EvE, I'm familiar with what a well-run op sounds like. The CODE. operation in Aufay is such an op. While in station waiting on timers to wear off, comms were funny and laid back, but once they had a target, the chatter stopped and everybody worked in an organized manner. It's a very efficient operation. These folks are not the violent sociopaths that their targets take them for. They're just looking to have a good time, even if it is at other players' expense.
They didn't seem to have a problem with me collecting bounties as long as I didn't get in the way. In fact, they all but invited me too. I have a feeling that even had I been trying to interfere, they would have just laughed it off or, at worst, ganked me too. I did get shot at a few times, but given that I was keeping my distance, no serous damage was done. I don't hold this against them; I was a neutral on the field, so I was fair game.
One interesting thing about this evening was the presence of a large number of "White Knight" players on both gates in Aufay trying to protect TNO's targets. They brought a mix of DPS, jammers, and logistics. While they did manage to delay the death of one Obelisk, whenever TNO undocked with a freighter in their sights, that freighter died.
By the end of the night, they had invited me to start ganking with them. Given my skills, and my preference for flying gank Thoraxes solo in losec, the offer was, and still is, tempting. But, for now, I will remain content to collect the bounties placed on them by those they gank. It would be foolish not to, because over the course of 4 ganks, I made a cool 100mil ISK in a cheap-fit Catalyst by doing nothing more than targeting a bunch of ships that were already going to die and firing a few times from a safe distance.
Thanks for the content CODE. and The New Order. It was fun, and I'll be back again. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.

So many New Order supporters and pilots used to be rebels. They came to our side, not because we have cookies (although we do), but because we actually have fun playing Eve. We're not bitter and don't degrade other players. Just have fun, spout pseudo-religious stuff in local, and blow things up. We have fun doing what we do. The AFK players don't have fun, because they are AFK. "Its the pod I'm after. The ship is just a pod condom." -- Turgesson "You're a d-bag. But you're a caring d-bag." -- Sindel Pellion |

Every knows the TNO is made up of mostly Goonie alts. They stink of GOON. The popped up right around the time Burn Jita happened. They aren't your typical group of gankers.

It's just their way of saying they love you.
You should shoot them back, assuming they don't self-destruct first......
