Just over two years ago, James 315 bumped a mining ship. And he was told it didn't amount to anything. But he kept at it.
Twenty one months ago, a group of people joined him and bumped a lot of mining ships. We were told it wouldn't last. That it wasn't bothering the miners but oh yeah, they were petitioning us for "harassment".
A year and a half ago, the first CODE. Knights appeared and Code enforcement entered a new era. As of today, 33,783 ships and pods, worth 4.4 trillion ISK have been destroyed in the name of an idea.
This is an amazing thread but the truly amazing thing is only referenced a few times. James 315 set out to save highsec, and despite every roadblock set up in his way, is saving it today. Every place where some player thought he could safely mine, or haul or mission in highsec has been rooted out and attacked by the New Order. It doesn't matter to us if ganking freighters is profitable because we don't do it for the ISK. It doesn't matter to us if other people attack permit holders (they don't except verbally) because we don't tell anyone we are protecting them. It especially doesn't matter to us if someone wants to debate about "reality" and how the police in Eve should act.
What matters to us is that we said we are going to enforce a code on highsec and that everyone was going to follow it and WE ARE STILL DOING IT. We have always said it was going to take a long time and we expected considerable resistance from those who, as famously noted MANY times, think that is perfectly OK to take an expensive ship, siddle up next to an asteroid, start the lasers and then go do the laundry. Or AFK billions in a freighter. Or accept any player into their corps. We KNOW they aren't going to like it because them not liking it is sort of the point.
The Eve forums are famous for things disappearing down the rabbit hole with time. Threadnaughts disappear within days and weeks. I see a lot of posters here who months and even years ago said the same things about us. That we had no effect, we couldn't last, someone would stop us.
And yet, here we are. Debating another escalation of the New Order Code compliance campaign and the cry for CCP to do something because NOW we've gone too far. I can tell you what will stop us. When all of highsec is Code compliant and every player knows that pressing the undock button may mean sudden death unless he is absolutely prepared for what lies on the other side of that wall.
Highsec is worth fighting for.

Highsec is worth fighting for.
By choosing to mine in New Order systems, highsec miners have agreed to follow the New Halaima Code of Conduct.-á www.minerbumping.com
