Hello citizens of EVE!
With the upcoming Ascension update, The New Order of Highsec will host an Event for new(Alpha) and established (Omega) players starting right after Ascension is deployed.
This Event will run until downtime December 31, 2016.
The MANY ways to win:
#1 Kill as many individual players in Highsec registered on or after the 15th of November 2016
#2 Kill as many individual players in Highsec with a character created on or after the 15th of November 2016 as an Alpha Clone.
#3 Destroy the highest value pod in Highsec with an Omega Clone.
#4 Destroy the highest value pod in Highsec with an Alpha Clone.
#5 Destroy as many individual pods in Highsec with an Omega Clone.
#6 Destroy as many individual pods in Highsec with an Alpha Clone.
#7 Destroy the most expensive ship in Highsec as an Alpha Clone.
Rules, yes, we have rules:
1. Make sure you do NOT kill players in the official newbie systems, or risk a permaban! 2. Make sure you have setup your API on Zkillboard for validation! 3. Kills must be different players. 4. If your Alpha Clone has the same amount of kills as another Alpha Clone, the youngest character will win. 5. If your Omega Clone has the same amount of kills as another Omega Clone, prizes will be shared. 6. If you kill with multiple characters (Omega Clones only!) pick one of your characters to enter the Event (obviously the one with the most kills ) 7. Once the competition is over, you count your total of individual kills, mark your highest value kill and mail this including a link to your killboard to Mildron Klinker. Do this before downtime January 10, 2017! Please include the contest number(s) for which you are eligible, and include the prize order you would prefer most in case of multiple wins. 8. Winners will be announced on the 15th of January. 9. The New Order and all of New Eden are eligible for this contest! Pilots do not need to be in the CODE. Alliance to win!
Prizes!!!!
I have already received a very nice amount of prizes! More prizes will be added every week during the Event, and thread will be updated, so make sure you keep checking often to see the new prizes!
Current prizepool:
#1 winner will receive 1 Plex and 50 Catalyst hulls (hulls will be delivered to any station in Highsec) #2 winner will receive 2 Plex and 50 Catalyst hulls (hulls will be delivered to any station in Highsec) #3 winner will receive 1 Plex, #4 winner will receive 2 Plex. #5 winner will receive 1 Plex. #6 winner will receive 1 Plex. #7 winner will receive 1 Plex and a set of ORE miners.
Pilots are NOT eligible for multiple prizes!

#1 is asking to cop a ban, just saying. CCP doesn't have many lines, but ******* with their real-world bottom line in meaningful ways is one of the best ways to get them to act. |

Mildron. I love this idea.

Should be able to provide a (small) ten figure sum for the prize pool; might be in ISK, might be in consumables (blasters etc).

Donating the following prizes; distribute as you see fit among the various categories.
One each of the following pirate faction battleship blueprints - Vindicator, Machariel, Rattlesnake, Bhaalgorn, Nightmare; located in Jita
1 billion ISK
2000 Light Neutron Blaster II; located in Dodixie
So there's another ~3200m in prizes to add in. Let's make this huge.

Wow, CODE makes an event to kill especially noobs in HS. That will certainly help Eve getting more players! So CODE is so cheap that they can't kill seasoned player any more but targets players that can't shoot back and can't afford the losses?
Why don't you not just rename to GrEVE and make destroying the Eve playerbase your main objective? At least it would be more honest then to call this an event!
Sorry, but I can't express how angry I am about this intentional destroying the fun of noobs and demoralizing them without risking permaban! Could you even think about one step further then your killboard filled with things that can't shoot back? Maybe trying to keep this game alive instead killing it? Or thinking that it is more fun to shoot seasoned players instead of collecting noob scalps? |

It seems that someone didn't get the memo.
CCP's own research indicates that under the soon-to-be-phased-out trial account system, new players that lose a ship to other players are MORE likely to become paying subscribers that players that do not lose a ship to another player.
I've mentored several newbs whose first interaction with CODE. is to be a client of our ganking services. A few minutes later and they realise that they too can gank.
I often give them a couple million ISK and a gank Atron fit, tell them to go and shoot Ventures, and when they have made ten attempts, contact me again and I'll give them 50 million ISK. Really lets them see that they - a 700k SP newb with little knowledge of game mechanics - can actually influence the game world without having to level up to 100 first.

Quoted the parts where it is a game of chance. Just because of EULA reasons.
Despite that - how are you going to check the Apha/Omega status of a participating account? I could create a new char on my Omega Account and call it an Alpha. Your rules don't ask for any kind of proof.
Happy hunting. |

That's totally okay, could you tell me how many will do this and not just bolster their killboard especially if it is a contest? It's not the killing but robbing the noobs of resources they desperately need. If you kill him, tell him what he made wrong and give him some millions, I'm the last to object.......if

Easily the quickest route I've ever seen to driving new players away from Eve. Nothing is going to make a new player say 'well this is stupid' quicker than being repeatedly killed, and not understanding how he died, or why. This is taking things way too far, and I seriously hope CCP takes a firm stance against this all out war on brand new players. |

CCP won't take a stance. Its akin to an emperor giving the tax-paying unwashed some fresh slaves to see slaughtered in the arena. Keeps 'em keen and paying for another year.

Anyone capable of undocking in a Skiff is not a newb. Look at the skill requirements. IIRC it's 40 days to sit in one.
Ships in EVE are consumables and newbs may as well learn this early on in their career. I lost my first destroyer to rats (that level 2 security mission that's way harder than the other ones). Lost another ship or two to players soon after subscribing too.
In CODE. at least (including supporters like me that are outside the alliance) we are pretty good at outreach to people under a month old that lose a ship to us. Most clients have been checked - before engaging we will know whether you are likely to be high skilled or low skilled, about how many EHP you are likely to have, and whether you have a permit or not.
We've probably checked your PVP experience on that character (killboards) and have definitely checked your character creation date.
All of these factors will impact our outreach. Someone losing their 7th failfit Covetor of the month in one belt will get a very different post-gank EVEmail to someone losing their first ship ever. Someone with a history of impressive solo kills will get a different response again.

Companies that focus on success through customer experience do 70% better than those that don't.
As a former member of the Raging Armada, whose tactics, wolf packing, were banned so all you old Alphas can fly your precious capitol ships, I see no problem with CCP banning the practice of hunting returning alpha/omegas for fun and profit, say one month per module?
Let's get really Darwinian. Don't ban tactics.
Good Hunting!

Fact : companies that focus on success through customer experience do 70% better than those that don't. The only customers who are going to enjoy this experience are the ones you've got already. Bottom line, once I read this thread my credit card went back in my wallet ...
As a former member of a corporation whose 'whiskey papa' tactics were banned so all you crotchety Omegas can fly your precious capitol ships without being eaten alive by frigates, I see no problem with CCP severely banning players who practice hunting returning alpha/omegas for fun and profit. None.
In the end, CCP, you're either going to craft an experience all players to enjoy, or not.
Good Hunting!
Chi
Yup, you and Foxbolt trying to protect CCP's bottom line. Good luck calling out CCP's financial peeps, I am sure they were just waiting on your input.
I will be trying for first place on my freshly minted Alpha, having fun while these gloom-n-doom carebears cry about EVE not being wow.

There's a reason Rule 1. exists. If you think you can become no.1 in #1 by being selective and target these characters only, well, you'll be burned out the first week already.

No. Still waiting for you to point to the part of the contest that says to target noobs. I might have had too many beers already, but I'm pretty sure the part you quoted says to kill "individual players in Highsec". If you are referring to the "registered on or after the 15th" part.. that is referring to registering a killmail. Not the age of the player. Try to keep up.
Your argument is invalid. |

No. Still waiting for you to point to the part of the contest that says to target noobs. Just because someone makes an new character doesn't mean that they are new.[/quote] Vets creating a new account know how to avoid most ganking attempts so the main group that will get killed in this event will be noobs. If you target especially new players when there is an update that is intended to draw in new players this is damaging to EVE! Normal ganking is bad enough for noobs but you are stepping up the killing of noobs.

Not a word about the unfairness of killing people that are just learning how to play EVE. You are worried about the gankers getting banned but not about the new players. If CCP wouldn't ban you, you would camp the career agent undock to get the most kills? Of cause, it would be for the good of EVE so the new players learn that there is nowhere save in New Eden..........

First, I despise CODE and all that they represent as a group.
Second, CODE MIGHT actually earn some respect if they put down a simple and respectful rule among themselves to NOT kill players under three (3) months of age while in HIGH security space.
Third, It is my opinion that trying to explain concepts of morality and respect to the type of player that CODE attracts is fairly futile so don't bother getting into debate over this 'kids war' with supporters of this 'contest' or whatever you choose to call it.
Fourth, If you dislike my post then simply ignore it. Do not bother quoting this in an effort to invoke a response, I will not be posting further to this thread.
Last, You're welcome. |

What an exciting contest!
It's really got the forum bears in a twist, too. Remember bears, aggression in EVE is an intended feature, both lawful and unlawful. Nothing turns new players away from EVE faster than solo grinding the boring, predictable highsec PvE content.
I'm definitely going to be ganking more prolifically so that as many alphas as possible will get the full experience of EVE. They will face adversity, adapt and overcome it, and happily subscribe for years to come.
I'll probably catch some of those new mining NPCs too because... they're literally bots. |

I think in a game where yarring is a part of the mechanics this sort of 'event' is fine......this is EVE after all...
What I don't like is the way CODE folk try to reason it out with logic when the truth of the matter is y'all just love to blow **** up.....
Don't be shy.....don't try to hide it beneath fancy words.....just admit it and be done with it.....CODE loves to gank noobs and haulers and miners......stop making out like it is any kind of 'service' to ccp......there is no shame in admitting ya like to yarr.....but there is shame in not having the cojones to just admit it's all about the km's
Make it a thing.....lol I mean I would have more respect if you guys were honest and put in your bio something like
CODE km whoring since (whenever)
Meh I dunno whatever floats your boats i guess....just trying to ease the anger that seems to relentlessly be sent your way....ultimately though CODE's existence doesn't bother me and I can't say it ever will but with this attitude CODE members have of 'we are right you are wrong' is just arrogance by any other name and that is not cool.....
Anyway good luck hope you all have fun o/ |

It's both.
I don't really have much of a killboard to speak of because my support for CODE. is mostly at a logistical level.
I support CODE. because chaos makes EVE more fun, and CODE. cause chaos.

I like this. But I think the competition should only be open to Alpha clones. Otherwise I feel it's not entirely in the spirit of EVE. |

Using alpha clones to gank hi-sec could make ccp turn off the possibility to disable safety in hi-sec with alpha clones.
This is to avoid abuse, because if you make an alpha to suicide kill noobies in hi-sec you don't lose nothing. |

I see this sentiment a lot around the forums. People seem to think that if you use an alpha to gank then no losses or penalties apply, when in fact the exact same losses and penalties apply as when an omega ganks. They lose a gank ship and sec status.
Believe it or not, an alpha account doesn't come with a free stack of gank ships. You have to either feed it assets from your main or hop in that ibis and build up from there (have fun with all that).
Your brain is broken if you can't comprehend this. |

The fact that cheap ships can be used to blow things up is an entirely different issue. |

Sabriz Adoudel wrote:CCP's own research indicates that under the soon-to-be-phased-out trial account system, new players that lose a ship to other players are MORE likely to become paying subscribers that players that do not lose a ship to another player.
I've mentored several newbs whose first interaction with CODE. is to be a client of our ganking services. A few minutes later and they realise that they too can gank.
I often give them a couple million ISK and a gank Atron fit, tell them to go and shoot Ventures, and when they have made ten attempts, contact me again and I'll give them 50 million ISK. Really lets them see that they - a 700k SP newb with little knowledge of game mechanics - can actually influence the game world without having to level up to 100 first.
This is exactly what the research found, and there are very good reasons behind this apparently counter-intuitive paradox.
New players leave because they get bored, because they didn't get the chance to engage with the community, and/or they felt no emotional attachment to the game or the people who play it. Of course, there will also be a number of people who canGÇÖt afford or donGÇÖt want to pay the subscription.
Once any or all of those four issues is addressed (the first three of which are intertwined), the chances of a new player sticking around are increased significantly.
There's a huge difference between the immersive, engaging Eve experience offered by joining a group like CODE (or killing them) and the bleak tedium of sitting alone all day zapping rocks or shooting triangles. Getting blown up forces you to feel some kind of emotion (laughter, anger or fear), thereby forcing a reaction. One very common reaction is the basic human desire for revenge, and the other is the wish to learn how to do unto others what you yourself just experienced.
Affordability has now been taken care of with alpha clones, and this event therefore takes care of all four phenomena. Other types of events, such as last nightGÇÖs Redemption Road newbro roam that I flew in, which attracted almost 100 people to fleet-up (many of whom were alphas), work to the same ends. Long may it continue. |

That's a good initiative too, although it doesn't give the newbies the same sense of "you, by yourself, can impose yourself on the game world" that teaching them to gank does.

There's no doubt that they're very different experiences, but the results (new player retention and the elimination or reduction of bot aspirancy, risk aversion and attachment to ships) are very similar, albeit in different ways.
My favoured pastime gets new players into nullsec quickly, thereby getting them into the real spirit of Eve quickly, whereas suicide ganking encourages people to bring the real spirit of Eve to others via the thunder and poetry of The Code.
On the subject of players making a difference alone, a new FC can do that in nullsec; even 1 fleet can set off a chain reaction that has long-lasting and significant repercussions. I've seen it several times! |

I hope you all had a wonderfull Christmas! Just a quick reminder that the CODE, Welcome to Ascension Event! is still going strong!
I haven't revealed all prizes yet, there is still some nice things under the hood. So keep on shooting stuff until downtime December 31, 2016!
Also, some people have mailed me a list of their kills, please don't. I will not count everything by myself.
Just mail me before January 10, 2017 downtime for which prizes you are eligible, with the total amount of kills and a link to your zkillboard. That makes my life a bit easier.
Lets finish 2016 with a big Bang! |
