Yeah this is a pretty bad one.
I recently had the opportunity to log back into the game, and actually chat with CODE, and all things being equal they seem like some pretty cool people to talk to. Which makes it all the more sad that they keep posting crap like this. You guys are better than these fake troll accounts, and same stories every day. |

I think I did the math once and figured out that a miner can pull about 200kisk of veldspar in a minute in a covetor.
Therefore, the 10mil license equates to about 50 minutes of lost mining time... which without even considering ship values would be lost in the opening day of a war very rapidly and easily. For that to be a year long license... I'd do it.
If I ran a mining corp, I would absolutely be CODE compliant. It's cheap insurance.
I would apply the same logic to extortionists, but I would negotiate for "protection" in the extortion payment. Both sides win and it keeps extortionists from having buddies war dec you for cash or war dec you again for cash.
If mining is your thing, you will interact with the pvp crowd. It is better to choose how and do so in a controlled fashion, IMO.

There is no such thing as "gank insurance". I feel you probably know that. |

Look. As I said before, I have logged in and chatted with the CODE folks. I find nothing wrong with them on a personal level. And I play Eve so little that their actions in game don't really have any effect on me there either. But at the end of the day... We all know that the whole "Make Hi-Sec great again" schtick is just RP. CODE is not out to make EVE better, not really.
They're there to have fun. Their fun in this instance is annoying people, and suicide ganking. It really, truly is that simple.
Buying a permit does not protect you from being ganked.
Being "compliant" does not protect you from being ganked.
Tanking your skiff does not protect you from being ganked.
Hiring bodyguards does not protect you from being ganked.
Nothing prevents a gank that the ganker has decided will happen.
Nothing.
Just like someone who wants to steal your car, break into your home, or kill you... If somebody wants to interact with you in this game in a violent fashion, then they will figure out a way to do it. You will lose your ship. You quite likely will lose your pod as well.
You cannot prevent this by word, deed, creed, allegiance, ISK/hour, territory conquered, DDOS, TiDi, Russians, WiS, monocle, or any in game mechanic.
All you can do is account for it. Plan for it. Adjust yourself emotionally and mentally for it. Have fun with it. Expect it. Laugh about it. Learn from it. Re-ship yourself and carry on.
Don't pay money to not be blown up to people known to smile at blowing up things. Dont jump into TeamSpeak with people known to record their attempts to spin you up and post it online. Dont be AFK.
And relax. It's a game. |

Bing Bangboom wrote:Actually, the OP is not a troll.
He just figured out yesterday that my wardec on his corporation is a rather large inconvenience.
I've offered to drop the war in exchange for the purchase of permits for the entire corporation and a promise to follow The Code but apparently he has "principles" so he'd rather do things the hard way. Its a crisis of corp leadership I tell you!
Feel free to adjust your remarks to the fact that he means what he says.
Going to disagree with you, Bing. OP gives themselves away as CODE by capitalizing "Permit".
That's the trouble with pulling double RP duty. Personas get crossed. |

And relax. It's a game. In other words, "CODE. always wins". Could have saved a lot of typing if you started (and ended) with that. Now, I don't care if you want to believe the OP is a troll but a simple look at zkillboard will show that I'm at war with his corporation. Of course, it could all be an elaborate hoax to create authenticity for a forum post that a couple hundred people at most are going to read... THAT'S DEDICATION!
In other words, "I agree".

Not true at all. Having a permit and being code compliant makes a huge difference. One thing missing from your list that may explain your problem: Having a good attitude. CODE is a litmus test, a bad attitude is an automatic fail of the test.
I like your interaction. A few items though:
It's not "my" problem... I stated earlier back that I had yet to dabble in playing EVE seriously, and that logging in and chatting with CODE was an agreeable experience. So... I have no problems. 
And no friend... I don't believe CODE permission nor compliance affects someones decision to gank you one way or the other. The document in question was (obviously) written such that "compliance" is (obviously) in the eye of the ganker/beholder, and can be revoked for any and every reason.
I haven't any reason to fault CODEs pilots for playing their way, and they're obviously intelligent people. But really... the RP rhetoric is wasted on me my friend. |

You are incorrect in your beliefs on this. It has a very significant impact on enforcement action selections. Compliance, a permit, and a good attitude will go a long way towards an enjoyable experience with CODE agents who do an often thankless job for the greater good in a very professional manner.

What's the difference between a Hulk and a Skiff? According to Clockwork Robot there is none. I'd fly a dozen jumps to gank only one of them though. I guess he's trying to say that nothing can stop a concerted attempt, which is flattering and true, which is all the more reason for a miner to take the target off his back by following The Code.
That is what I was implying, dear Lawrence. |

Sorry if I've touched you somehow.
Never apologise to a Codie, just realise they are sensitive petals who wail at the smallest prick ( not you ). The locals here usually ignore their circle jerk posts to each other. They have low self esteem from a cloning accident that denied them reproductive organs. The same cloning mistake gave them sub par brains, only able to achieve repetitive botting tasks such as ganking. I have studied these pathetic organisms by numerous biopsy's on their podded corpses. Some superior entities (by comparison) have been able to break free of their cult like environment. Establishing their own care facility and activities, well done to the Kusions for this minor achievement. Baby steps, baby steps! James315 started out as their carer. As time went by and the pressures of running such a large care facility struck, he had a break-down. Whilst on a battery of cheap medications supplied by the Angel Cartel James315 had visions; "Why be just a low paid long suffering carer surrounded by bots - I will be the Organ Grinder and these bots can be my unpaid monkeys." So you see Peorthr, the locals here NEVER take a Codie seriously. We nod and wink at them, occasionally pod them for sport , but we NEVER take them seriously. Help explain?
That is like, so many words for a group you don't take seriously. I'm certain Sasha has a more eloquently worded statement to this effect, but sometimes I prefer brevity.
You care. A lot. |
