The New Order of Highsec is the nearest thing you'll find to a government within the game.
It stands independent of player Corp and Alliance affiliations. Its members cover all the professions available in Highsec (yes, even mining!), and it is itself governed by a set of guidelines which are flexible enough to allow for individual interpretation, but clear enough to be understood by the citizens of Highsec.
James 315 heads up the Government and the New Order, by popular agreement, and for the simple reason that no one else has proven capable of managing such a diverse population and Staff.
Much as I love them, I want you to forget about the CODE. Alliance, for the moment - don't worry, they're sufficiently elite to take it on the chin.
There are hundreds of us non-allied folks toiling away in Highsec, on behalf of our Government, an administration which has been established for more than 4 years - a very long unbroken line in EVE Online, where stuff changes routinely.
Many people come to the Forums to pour scorn on us, but I've a simple challenge for them:
Alone and unaided, devise and implement a scheme in Highsec which will (over time) attract more than a trillion Isk in investment, provide entertainment and 'content' for thousands of players (willingly or otherwise), be instantly recognisable for anyone visiting Highsec, have a dedicated long-running well-written and popular blog, produce its own art and media work, light up any EVE Online sub-forum where it appears - and get right under the skin of a certain type of EVE player, without fail.
I'm not a betting person, but I am willing to lay what used to be called a 'Sportsman's Bet' (sadly no longer able to be so used - see 'Football') that not a single one of you will be able to approach what James has achieved - whether you agree with our methods and justifications or not.
The challenge stands. Do it alone, or get your pals together to help you. If you don't like us, organise a popular revolt - I've heard that's a way to bring down governments... |
