Calm answer:

Just read about it here and almost died from laughter:

Calm answer? Who exactly was hysterical in the above posts?

I would bet they did it on purpose, either to troll the alliance tournament as a whole or to bank in on the bets for RvB against CODE. That would be a LOT of ISK made in a few short seconds, certainly enough to keep them going for the next year in terms of SRP and such.

Or maybe the FC wasn't there and they decided nobody else could FC the tourny and quit the field, only time will tell

There is a mittani story forthcoming on this but long story short, we ganked a freighter with another alliance's tournament fleet in it. We withdrew after having seen it; anything otherwise would compromise the integrity of the tournament.

[TL;DR: [ 2014.07.09 01:20:36 ] loyalanon > we havent even had 12 people x up for alliance team
Clockwork Pineapple were the reason code were even in the alliance tournament, since we floated them the isk and plex to get started. However they just didn't have the people wanting to even participate. Their FC Loyalan0n wanted to legit have people participate and have a serious run, but their own membership couldn't give a ****. With a month until the start of the tournament they had done no practices, didn't have a team and didn't even have a single comp set up. We tried to get them to have a few members tag along to our practices against rote, but they just said **** it and kept shooting freighters.

He decided to gank freighters instead. :v:

I was expecting CODE to field an all-rookie ship fleet, myself.

Too bad they bailed, but then again I was surprised they entered at all, tbh.

I suggest some punishment like 30 - day charakter bans. CODE knew of their inability and let CCP and the tournament down.

thats a bit too harsh. you ban people for doing something wrong, not for doing nothing.

how about ccp just rename their whole alliance from CODE to JOKE ? that would suit them well :)

What if they bet all their ISK on RvB?

If it was possible to gain isk through throwing the tournament, that is very likely exactly what happened.

Well given you don't have an unlimited amount of time and the two options of some kind of setup WOW-style arena PvP Tournament v.s. real Tranquility elite Freighter PvP, how can you blame us for going with the real stuff?

Elite PvP against freighters...
You even reading what you write?

So the "mighty" CODE. alliance can't even spare measly 12 fighters? Did you even consider that? All CODE. is 12 ppl able to kill freighters?

Sure, every codie will believe that.
Every one else...
Oh my, this is the day code damaged themselves beyond repair.

I'm kinda wondering how much isk CODE members and their alts chucked on RvB winning their match on eve-bet >_>

James315 runs for CSM - QUITS
Erotica runs for CSM - QUITS
CODE enter AT - QUITS

Typical.

I would like to congratulate Code. for generating the most discussion of an alliance tournament match in the history of the event. A greater victory could not have been achieved had Code. "won" the tournament outright. Once again speculation is rife within the Eve online community about everyone's favourite pantomime villain corp, keeping the metagame alive and well.

Code. have brought the metagame to this annual event that has otherwise suffered from failing at demonstrating this key element of Eve. Praise James 315, may he and Code. continue to improve Eve through the metagame for many years to come, they and others like them are what set this game apart from all others.

I enjoy being 21 bil richer :)

Many thanks to our goon overlords for making this all possible.

CODE. is insignificant. They always have been and they always will be. I am not sure why there was any anticipation of any other result than what ended up happening. Did people really expect them to fight against ships with guns?

The moment they form a real fleet (even a rifter blob would be fine by me) and come out to null is the moment they will have my attention and respect.

What exactly happened to CODE? Why, they showed us who they really are. They also showed us what ganking miners really is. Think about it. If THEY can do it, then....but we've wasted SO much bandwidth on CODE. They are what happens when you leave a huge HOLE in your stuff. Trying to build an empire off the suicide gank? Noooooo. They never had it in them to think that thought! Trying to SEEM like they've built an empire off the suicide gank? Now you're talking.

What happened to CODE happens to us all. Some of us can meet the moment. Some of us cannot:



CODE's came. CODE went. Those of you who thought there was more to them than this
need to recalibrate your thinking. Oh yes, and the AT is rigged. But, I've been saying that for YEARS.

Everyone here seems to gloss over the probable financial motives they would have to not show up to this match.

Why didn't they field thrashers and nados instead? If they were dead-set on fielding a gank squad they should have had the foresight to know that someone would have banned their signature ships.

Insignificant troll from insignificant pilot is still insignificant. Go figure.

That applies as much to your post as it does to his tbh

If the goal of entering the AT was to win, yes, we would have fielded Vexors/Ishtars/Navy Vexors/Dominixes or something like that. Lots of our mains have decent drone skills since I've been pushing people to train into gank Vexor fits.

If the goal of entering was to have fun and cause hilarious stories for almost all of EVE to laugh with, we'd have forfeited.

If some of us had bet on a 100-0 whelping, we might also have forfeited.

If RvB or a third party offered us good ISK, we might have forfeited.

Draw your own conclusions.

Not laughing with. Laughing at.

If you wanted to be laughed with, a fleet of T1 fit T1 frigs named "Catalyst" would have gotten the same attention, and far, far less genuine derision. A fleet of mining barges would have trumped that. Battle ventures maybe, or suddenly Badger! (*disclaimer I have no idea if AT rules actually permit these, but you get the idea.)

Used to be a fan of the code antics - opening up the sandbox, forcing people to adapt, countering the myth of "safe" space, creating an intelligent bastard persona for it's pilots and the alliance to fence with the miner-whiners. Now... Too many juvenile hangers on, living off the shadows of past rhetoric and believing the great joke to be reality.

I probably would have suggested something like that that if I was on the team (i.e. able to compete, darn cutoff), but this worked. It got everyone talking.

Sure I read somewhere that Jimmy 'THE CODE' (some numbers) said that players interested in making money was selfish and bad and whatever.
Now it seems the CODE people are in it for the money.

So for fun, I'll release this.

I believe people pay to watch the tournament (never seen one myself although did consider it up until 2012 I think when some group threw the contest)

http://residentoutlaw.tumblr.com - CODE, RvB, the AT, and what DJEntropy said .... :)

There should be no scamming or bribing or simply trying to bring the tournament into disrepute allowed. For the tournament to work it has to be serious for it to mean anything.

The damagecontrol is strong in this one. 0/10 for no effort though

Maybe I'm cynical but if this actually happened wouldn't that killmail be uploaded somewhere by now ? (with API linked killboards and such being pretty much standard these days).

The kill is up on minerbumping.com right now. You can find it in zkillboard too. Ask any Clockwork Pineapple biggie about it if you like, they were blue to us till we decided to keep it.

CFC paid Black Legion eleventy-one gazillion isk and gave Elo Knight a new puppy for switching sides in the Fountain war. I know it's true because I read it on the internets.

this little revelation concerning CODE's inability at leadership levels

Implies the presence of serious leadership. James 315 is the spiritual leader of the entire New Order and that's all any of us need.

Did you read the excerpt concerning this from Reddit at all? Loyal took it seriously enough.

He's a seriously good FC, so he's allowed to be serious.

He seriously likes his srsbsns ganking fleets. Seriously.

Chicken Out Deny Everything

Seriously?! Srsbsns ganking fleets are taken about as seriously as serious cereal you seriously Sirius fool!

Hell every year there is one corp that bribes another, in local no less, to fly (or this year MJD) out of the field.

Chicken Out Deny Everything

Damn, who did you **** off to draw the short straw and have to be the guy to backpedal for CODE in the forums? You better start kissing some a** to get back in the graces of your new order owners.

[quote=You're Mum]
You allow that kind of thing to go on in a tournament it becomes worthless and all you have left is a circus.

Also, I haven't heard about the isk we got to get out of tournament but perhaps its a spin on the blingy fleet of ships we lolgrabbed and decided to keep.

I'm out of country for a week on work so this is all I can access.

Everyone here agrees it is spin. People are now laughing at CODE, not with them. Spin in the only thing you need.

CODE doesn't upset me with these antics, you guys just kinda invoke pity from me anymore.

There is a 131 page thread on GD full of srys people shedding srys tears about loyals srsbsns ganking fleets, so I thinks that makes it a srys thing.

For those who have yet to complete The Shrubbery Quest and thus may be unfamiliar with Monty Python:

Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.

****Bravely**** taking ("I never did!") to his feet,

("I never!")

The Knights of Nii wholeheartedly approve. Sir, you are a gem among peasants.

Do you know where the Eve Bank is? I seem to have lost my way point.

That makes about as much sense as everything else your organization generates.

Just keeping a timeline here...

At the time CODE didnt't fight because RvB banned their ships.

Several hours later they didn't fight to generate publicity.

This morning it was because RvB paid them 200bn: http://residentoutlaw.tumblr.com/post/95086813000/code-rvb-the-at-and-what-djentropy-said (mirrored http://imgur.com/upOKY5b ready for it being pulled)

And tonight it's because somebody paid them 200bn, but it wasn't RvB...

*gets more popcorn*

I don't see how throwing the match could have made them that much isk anyway, nobody sane was going to bet on code to beat RvB and evebet does have dynamic odds so at *best* they might have made their entry fee back. Maybe.

Remember, RvB leadership is goons.

Anyone saying that CODE. failed to show up because they were collecting on bets, pay-offs, etc. doesn't understand the first thing about throwing a fight. You don't throw a fight by refusing to get in the ring. You throw a fight by stepping into the ring and losing on purpose. CODE. could have fielded *anything* and just refused to turn their weapons on. In fact, refusing to fight while in the ring would have made an even bigger political statement regarding the ship bans or whatever it is they think they might want to make a stink about.

Loyalanon is constructing a lie to cover up the fact that CODE. is a $#!% alliance being led by lazy, disingenuous people. It's the kind of pathetically transparent excuse one would expect from a grade-schooler who has absolutely no respect for anyone other than himself.

They've mocked the whole tournament and everyone in it... not so much by refusing to show up, but by refusing to come clean with the real reason as to why they didn't show up. EVE is only a game, of which the Alliance Tournament is only a small subset of it, but they're absolutely disgusting in how they view their fellow players with such utter contempt. Everyone who isn't CODE. is beneath them... and that's NOT a roleplay thing, nor is it some sort of attempt at "content creation" (I hate this stupid, %*$#F@ term -- "content creation" is utter bs like "collateral damage").

CODE. could not even deign to show up to an event that only a lucky fraction of players can have a chance at flying in.

Remember, RvB leadership is goons, as is CODE

scamming or bribing are what eve was built on, its one of the main things that brings people into this game.
Hell every year there is one corp that bribes another, in local no less, to fly (or this year MJD) out of the field.

The key point here is of course that every team must be trying to win. Throwing a match to allow your friends to advance is not allowed and as always we will enforce this rule vigorously.

LOL

Remember, RvB leadership is goons

I heard that Eve was started by GROOOOONSSzzzz to start a RMT slushfund to hide assets from um... the Illuminati to help fund... umm... 9-11 because of... the... people... that did this thing... and I am sure future people will be able to provide better evidence of everything.

I heard CCP leadership was Goon.

has clockwork pineapple confirmed or denied that they lost all their ships in the freighter?

If they lost all their ship, WTF did they field VS RAZOR? Pods?

Acording to miner bumping they didnt have the skills. Once certain ships were banned they were screwed because they couldnt bring rookie ships. There was also alot of 'filler' about how they are the best at PVP ever (honest guv!) and how they beat clockwork orange because role playing is more important than a bit of honor.
So basically RvB pulled off a genius move to end the match before it started and I can only assume the money thing is a troll to make more tears.

Whatever.
All stories CODE. brought came up to, where just lame excuses.
They couldn't even decide if that would have been paid for or for ganking this freighter.

I say neither is the truth, CODE. just ran away with their tails tuck between their legs.

A possibility is, that they just didn't have 12 fighters. Instead of compensating with less but stronger ships, they just quit.
Well i am very amused, cause nobody could do as much damage in short time to them, as themself.

There's no shame in deciding to gank freighters...

...instead;

What damage? They're an alliance that exists for the sole purpose of enforcing the Code throughout highsec. As long as there are cats and neutron blasters they'll keep on trucking.

The sickest stack of Catalysts is waiting for you when you come back bro. We miss you <3 [no homo]

There is a mittani story forthcoming on this but long story short, we ganked a freighter with another alliance's tournament fleet in it. We withdrew after having seen it; anything otherwise would compromise the integrity of the tournament.

The only coverage on TheMittani.com is that CODE ragequit with their ships banned and not enough pilots, not even a mention of a pay-off or your supposed freighter gank. Would somebody from CODE like to offer another excuse?

Anyone notice the high number of NPCs in this thread demanding explanations, throwing insults, ignoring much of what's said and generally smacktalking?

Deflection, a sure sign you've got nothing.

Not deflecting, just pointing out that Caldari State is not permitted to enter Deep Core Mining into the alliance tournament. I guess really that means you're the one who's got nothing.

There's no shame in deciding to gank freighters instead; its our most fun activity!

No not really, haven't seen anything like a good excuse for not showing ...

Why are you entitled to an explanation, excuse or anything else? Why do you need to sign your posts when your character is right there in the postbit? Why is bacon so delicious?

Code so mature, like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ

If we weren't meant to eat animals, why are they full of meat?

Not sure if serious but The Lonely Island is all about Parody and Satire.

If you wish to accuse CODE. of immaturity you'd be better off using anything involving Justin Bieber.

wait... so the code kiddies, instead of practicing, ganked a freighter that was carrying tourney ships for a team they weren't even fighting that round... and then cowered in the corner instead of playing their round because cats and talos weren't allowed?
and then scrambled and put together some kind of "it was the honorable thing to do" failspin on it?

RvB obviously demanded CODE to pay them Tournament Permit and CODE declined.

ower all here

although I think that their rollen-play implementation is not always right

definitely doing something correctly, otherwise it was not so much of your attention.

Love this CODE. logic

Hiitler had got also much attention too... Was he right after all?

PS: since when is the world "H-i-t-l-e-r" Forbidden? Although he was the greatest son of a b*tch in the history of mankind, he is still historical figure.
