Bearing in mind the name they have "New Order" is the name of a neo-**** religious group and their beliefs are similar, how does their name not violate half the rules on here: http://community.eveonline.com/support/policies/eve-user-policy/Maybe that's something that should be ticketed. It's also the name of an 80's band (best known for the hit single "blue monday", in fact googling the term New Order brings up links mainly relating to that band, ergo New Order is mostly associated with the band formerly known as Joy Division, not some crackpot neo-nasty religious group, and hence doesn't break the rules you linked. I should hope if you know anything about history at all though that you would recognise that the New Order is what ****** was trying to bring about in WW2, which is why it is now the name of an organisation devoted to carrying on his beliefs. There are literally hundreds of bands who's names would not be allowed by the EVE naming rules. There are names of bands that I'm not even allowed to post here, so the fact that it is also a band is beside the point. I'm well aware of the events of WW2, I've heard them first hand from people that fought in that particular war, and as a military brat it was a subject oft discussed in school. I've never heard of your particular New Order, I have heard of the band though, even seen them live. There again I have no time for quasi religious groups except in the satirical sense, and I definitely have no time for neo-nasty groups who follow the beliefs of a failed Austrian house painter and former Corporal.

Waffe means "weapon". Translated thusly, Luftwaffe means "Air Force".

More power to them, and I don't think CCP should intervene in any way, but I also think it's silly to discuss it as if they didn't obviously mean for it to be offensive. Come on. |

Well there's a difference to a name sounding the same as both names are German, and a name being a name of an active religious organisation. Goonwaffe is not an active religious organisation. I do wonder though, if one started now, would the rules apply even though Goonwaffe the in game entity started first? |

Your translation is wrong, because "Force" means "Kraft" and does not mean the same as weapon. You only translate it wrong, because you want it to be associated with "Waffe" and ignore the context in which you try to establish your "translation".

Really?
So, because the word "Goon" (from the old slang Gooney, like a Gooney Bird) traditionally meant " A stupid or oafish person, a simpleton" , then "Goonwaffe" literally translates to "Simpleton Force"?
Sounds about right  |

If you find the experience of speaking to yourself disconerting, I suggest using a mirror to make it feel like a conversation. Just try not to lose your temper - you could end up with some nasty cuts.
As a Masorti Jew I am expressly forbidden from trolling. I don't know how your ancient Hebrew is but in the torah it reads "hakek malachu mesiya o bama tanku helel ishayu machischki alamayk". This roughly translates to those who troll are not with god. My Jew hat that I wear tells me that there is always a God above me and that I should be considerate of his will. That's why I'm a zionist and support the occupation of Palestine and the persecution of it's people because I see it as God's divine will and you should too. I'm a Jew you can trust me. |

How did this go from a troll thread to discussing the secret meaning behind "waffe" and how it relates to the Illuminati and Free Masons taking over EvE.(extra conspiracy theory elements added to convey how dumb the argument is.) The Goonwaffe was started by an American, and only in America(where I live) are generic German words equated with evil. The reason behind the choice is probably pretty simple, attempting to evoke images of a large, mean and evil group. But that only matters to Americans, who don't speak German and are therefore only exposed to the word "waffe" as it applies to WW2. After all, today we talk about the German Airforce, not the Luftwaffe. And Ace, for a guy that hates PCs as much as you do, you spend a lot of time on them. |

If you want to troll next time write it up to sound more like a legit beeoach.
CCP needs to stop miner harassment by the new order for violation of the EULA is clearly in play here. Miners getting ganked and blown up for simply enjoying themselves for something they pay for and have a right to be left along.
So you break it down.
1. Use CCP in your post cause people can't resist cause it's like invoking the (I'm telling mom on you).
2. Use words like violation and unauthorized, this gets people upset and they smack their lips and get frustrated by saying you did something wrong. (People don't like being told their wrong).
3. Bring their crime to light, make accusations that are reasonable and make it clear your being victimized, what this does is get them (violators) thinking to want to say stuff like STFU and HTFU.
4. Always say they are messing up your good time, griefers and trolls love that.
5. Say stuff like YOU and others should be left alone, this angers people who believe it is THEIR right to do as they please.
6. Always, Always question their morals or intelligence, this gets them hooked many a times cause now your questioning them in their RL behavior and people hate that.
7. Don't attack with name calling cause it's boring they have heard it before.
8. Just remember a proper troll prepares an attacking by sounding sincere, smart yet making grammar errors, and able to dodge punches from other would be trolls by using wit not insults.
Remember in the end most people are just monkeys ready to pounce on a banana don't throw them a rock. |

Simplest solution is: give them good o' boys guns!
They can police themselves.
But CCP isn't going to do that, because without something human to hunt bots, they'll overcome the game. But New Order isn't about fixing the bot problem, so they're just as bad as the bots. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

Miners have the right to try and mine, just as the gankers have the right to try and stop them from doing so, that's the beauty of a game that allows you to choose how you want to play it.
You can't advocate changing the game so that nobody should be able to affect the way that a miner chooses to play Eve, while changing the game so that the way gankers choose to play is affected, that's called hypocrisy.

Mosly EW drones - very few combat drones. Good mix - able to shut down a gank long enough for Concord to arrive, and able to deal with any plausible rats.
The only plausible threat would then be either bumping, or a very much more expensive gank boat / fleet. Dunno about anyone else, but I'm not throwing an AF or crusier way on a simple miner gank. Maybe if there were enough targets close together, I could see using a suicide disco BS. But how often does that chance come up? |

Seriously.
It violates all tenets of Risk vs. Reward.
The miners usually do not have adequate mechanics available to do anything about it (most of the New Order are in NPC Corps, the wimps) so can't be War Decced, and Mercs are hardly going to intimidate them.
They, on the other hand, they risk absolutely nothing. AT ALL.

I must disagree with you there Krixtal, the majority of the New Order guys are in one alliance, they have some independent operators who fly under their flag, some of which are in NPC corps, the rest of which are in various player corps.

Possibly hangers on using the New Order as an excuse for causing mayhem in the belts, I know quite a lot of the guys involved and as far as I know they're still operating mainly in Gallente and Caldari space. I shall ask later to see if they have official agents in Derelik.

Very few combat drones = hoping your tank survives, because there's 1 mid on a retriever designed for it's survey module. And depending on the system, and the usual ganker dessie with Ions, that's not long if he hits hard before EWAR intervenes. A typical Retriever has a tad over 2000 shields, which Ions slice through.
