He has less isk on hand NOW than in many previous months, why wouldn't he "cash out" a year ago at 80b??


The money goes to reimburse catalysts, for those who are completely failing at reading...

I wouldn't put all your faith into that list though seeing as I'm listed even though I never bought any share, and the share they gave me to make it look legit was returned months ago, so clearly they don't really provide accurate shareholders there.

/c

Please note shares are not an actual in-game item. It's not an investment in profit but an investment in the continuity of New Order. If you're producing catalysts, and/or mining barges it's obviously good for business to make sure the ganks continue.



Somebody probably bought a bunch of shares in your name just to troll you.

no they actually claim chribba is a supporter as well as a permit holder due to legendary status and that chribba has given much capital

I've seen the comments you refer to, but I think that is 80% jest. I mean think about it. How can we gank the veldernaught? It would take every new order agent being online at the same time, and still require outside help. Its easier just to give Chribba a special exemption from code compliance for his time and effort in making resources that we use daily.

I would happily join up to gank that. Just for the sake of being part of the crew that did it. Its a piece of New Eden history right there.

Please pardon my newness to the topic, but I'd think someone as influential as James 315 would have been the subject of at least one psychological profile by adversaries and/or allies to aid in strategic planing? Such analysis might provide insight into motivations and hence future, potential actions.

..To the OP. You do realize that the New Order treasury has been at sub one billion ISK many times, and very close to insolvency?

James 315's thread in the Market Discussion forum state ~304 billion in shares sold, true. But ~240 billion of that ISK has been paid out to reimbursements to the Knights who enforce The Code on a daily basis. James simply does not have 304 billion ISK that he could walk away with, like you are implying.

James 315 cares not for ISK. James 315 cares for Eve. That is why he has been granted the title Savior of HighSec. I actually greet him in the fashion that I see him: James 315, Savior of Eve.

OP, by making this thread you have personified that whitch The New Order fights against on a daily basis: ISK Lust. I completely understand why you are so off base. You and your ilk only care about ISK, so James and the Agents must also only care about ISK. Try being baptized in the holy embrace of Concord for a chance. Willingly and faithfully destroy a portion of your fortune. And then, you will see what ISK, and Eve truly is: A very engaging game that is rewarding to those why choose to not be bit-asperients.

Ponzi schemes do pay out for awhile, up until the point that the money flowing in is less than the money flowing out. Paying out only legitimizes the scheme in the eyes of the new na+»ve investor.

It just comes down to the price you will pay for emergent content.

He's kind of like Jesus. Only real.

..Like all prolific figures in history, James 315 has been compared to a wide spectrum of notable characters.

Let the comparisons continue, we say. The true believers in The Code all know the moniker that is the most fitting for James: The Father of HighSec and Savior of Eve.

When all of Eve is safe from bot-aspirancy and bot-aspirant behaviour, then James can walk away with any isk remaining in the New Order treasury, and it will still only be a fraction of what he deserves for his efforts in saving Eve and making New High sec a better place for all.

And when that happens, James will walk away with 315 billion ISK.

Check out his youtube videos (Battlefield315); he's a conservative nutcase (no surprise Gevlon fell in love with him) with delusions of being a great propagandist, not much else to it.

My eve experience from rags to riches has taught me that ISK is essentially worthless. It pretty much falls out of the sky on command. Also his spending on the reimbursement program shows he's unlikely to run off with it, since the amount he receives likely only barely covering the expense of running everything. It's only the recent large donations that put him in higher numbers, but even this amount is hardly worth running off with.

Perhaps space-poor individuals have a different view, but I've found that even making ISK a normal way (i.e not gambling) is so **** easy that it's almost worthless to steal at the amounts were talking about.

I actually thought James was going to do that early on, until I realised just how many gank catalysts He reimburses.

If I were Him, I'd use some of the ISK to buy tech 2 BPOs related to ganking, and run them 24/7, then eventually keep them. I think His entire attitude, however, is that He would rather watch the world burn than have isk.

Why do you capitalise He, Him and His?

He isn't God...

Here's the reality: Most of us don't care whether or not James is running an elaborate scam. We donate to keep the NO going and help out newer members. If he walks off with the money at some point, more power to him. In the meantime we get funny blog posts, free catalysts for new members, and a bunch of fun. I don't think anyone in the New Order would really feel that betrayed if the treasury disappeared, just sad that it was over. Anything else is belief and speculation.

I personally don't believe James is scamming considering his past experience with it.

Doesnt his past experience with it involve one of the biggest scams perpetrated in the history of the game?

...
At the time it was the biggest scam at around 35bill. The eve bank scam was ongoing at that point and was significantly larger. If you truly don't know why I don't think hes scamming currently based on past experience, I suggest you look into the outcome of the Currin Trading incident. I'll give you a hint. He didn't make a cent.

I lied. I cheated people. I used people to help me scam their friends. I was the cause of widespread bankruptcy. But the most damning thing of all? I think I can live with it, and if I had it to do all over again, I would. To my surprise, a guilty conscience was a small price to pay for thirty billion isk. So I will learn to live with it, because I can live with it. I can live with it, but...

I'm not quite sure how you come to this conclusion. From James' own account of the Currin Trading events:

He kept the money. He just justified it to himself by drawing attention to the Eve Intergalactic Bank scam.
