Permit buys nothing, myself and others have witnessed agents (repeatedly) griefing those who have paid (and far as I can tell) have followed the "Code."

you've been doing a lot of impersonating in this thread, you really should be careful about that you are an npc miner, and you should not claim otherwise
Uh... nope. Mining skills are the same ones I got at character creation. Mission Runner as indicated and future member of Roleplaying Community. Zero interest in Space Rocks.
Anywho, I posted the warning I intended to pass-on, so back to something productive more productive then forum-arguments.
Hope it helps all the honest, hard-working miners out there in High Sec.

It's an extortion racket not a protection racket, a permit only "protects" you from CODE., it doesn't "protect" you from other groups. Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into the brain, where they ferment. They then migrate to your keyboard via your fingers. That's where shiptoasts come from.

Until they decide to blow up their own "permit holders" Which I have seen multiple times btw before I left for Nullsec.. so no you're not correct it is still a scam. |

It is a permit, not an immunity card, if you get caught being a bot aspirant you will be fired upon - permit or no. If you have any doubts please contact James315 directly, keep your message concise and free of excess negative emotive language and terms of derision and of cursing and you may even be able to have things rolling early.

One of the New Order's own agents (after failing (not once - but twice!) to enforce the "code" on defenceless-non afk miners) confirmed that the entire Code nonsense is a scam... I know we all knew it anyway, but nice to see it in print. Anyone else wish they'd do the fair/brave thing and form a corp/alliance so those who object to their methods have a recourse to return fire? Just thought I'd share with the class. Fly free! ...and if you spot an agent of the New Order - shoot to kill! Varn
On to the topic at hand. Firstly you shouldn't post anyone's name on the forums, there is a chance you can have the ISD crackdown and it is common courtesy to keep all people confidential to prevent bullying, picking and choosing who you protect and who you don't based on negative emotions merely makes you a bully yourself, even though in this case you would be an ineffective one.
Secondly, no !@$# sherlock
Finally, you couldn't even do a call to arms, just a generic message at the bottom. Is this what GD has come to? To not even put the effort in? I remember the proveldariat, now there was some people who tried. |

Oh ghod when did I become explainer person for CODE? It's OK, I don't mind the job.
Last I checked, it works like this. CODE generates the majority of it's income via funny stories posted on minerbumping. People read those, then hand us ISK. We make the kills, miners provide the tears, James weaves it into humor.
That goes into a big bucket to help fund our fun, subsidize new guys into ganking, things like that. Permit sales are a side income. Most Agents will keep the permit fee with the trust that they'll use it to further more ganking and such. Those of us who're obscenely rich just send it over to James, to dump in the pot.
Honestly, the more "attention" you pay to CODE, the more ISK we make. We WANT you to wardec us, make huge threads about us, complain, the whole nine yards. That's the content WE "mine", to turn into our ISK fund. This thread officially has 25% more pssssssshhh than leading competitors. Rick Moranis was never put on death row for shrinking his children. New York exists outside the mind of Billy Joel. A French press is not lifting weights with your tongue out. Lena Dunham is not a girl ventriloquist. |

and too many people in the forums whine without a permit. CODE, why aren't you enforcing this permit thing where it really NEEDS to be? You're not doing it right...
CODE = Full of Fail
Also still trying to see the main issue of this thread.
So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter. |

I thought this was common knowledge...
I may live in a cave, but I always thought that this whole system that they made up is as valid as those isk doubling scams in Jita.
I didn't know anyone actually gave them the cash, or they ever actually did anything for anyone?
I don't mine often, I just observe the stuff in chat and the forums, but from being on the outside looking in, I wouldn't have trusted it from the beginning. |
