Well this should be a fun thread.
Lots of crowing and laughter. Meanwhile, ganking will continue....they need to make up the losses.

CODE drama has been the highlight for a while now - the rantings and ramblings of 315 mouthpieces are the best fun and their ganking creates the most controversy.
I love to hate them, but honestly, New Eden would be less interesting for their presence. I don't admire ganking as a display of ability as a PVP pilot but friction is a necessary evil, and they bring it.
But you know, this could be the coolest theft of all time if it vets out. |

In all honesty i hope they reform or at least some kind of CODE. reforms in one way or another. I have always hated them with passion, but EVE wont be the same without the roleplaying crybabies around.
I guess its just a little bit nice to see the old saying work "what goes around, comes around".
A life is best lived, to not step into your grave in a well preserved body. Instead, to slide in side ways, all battered and bruised, screamming, "Holy SH**! What a ride!"

Fake drama as 500b is mere peanuts for any decent-sized organization, all the more if it does its money ganking, which is a very much profitable activity.

Or that too is part of the false flag ops. Basically resulting in liquidation of CODE and its assets for purposes of laundering them for some unknown reason or future purpose.

Heuristically, it could be suggested that CODE was all along only a stage in a larger plan.
Such that CODE was used as a mechanism to accrue a specific amount of assets/wealth, for some later, larger purpose. That target was now fulfilled, and CODE becomes obsolete. Time to cash out.
We dont know that the 500bil theft, is not simply an excuse to shut down CODE, and liquidate its assets, and re-unite them with the 500bil under another project, by the same operators.

Are you really so naive as to think that CODE would not have taken precautions to prevent a 500bil loss?

Haha, as if 500 bil is a lot for them....peanuts. They must have so much crap that it times it becomes probably difficult to organize so every here and there some peanuts get stolen.
My heart is always with CODE., they are one of the main reasons EVE is a fun game even if I was never part of them. It is funny how butt hurt people that already saw confirmation on reddit, still want to see confirmation here, as if trying to make fun of them but fact is, they probably can't be bothered about peanut drama. |

I am thinking gleefully of the poor sap who will have to set up 30k Catalysts for Miniluv and burn Jita, I find that rather amusing. That would be close to 1,000 freighter ganks as a target, lol.

Losing 500 bil is a pretty big mistake, no matter how you cut it. Not that anyone is naive enough to believe it was an "accident".
It provides a convenient excuse to liquidate the rest of CODE assets.

Poor dears, either they got royally screwed over, or it is an attempt to create some excitement in an atempt to appear important and still? relevant.
Either way the majority of the playerbase will still look at them with humourous contempt.

Could be its an attempt to form a daughter CODE based on the stolen assets and the 30k Catalysts.
Whilst the remaining assets/isk of mother CODE itself, are liquidated, laundered and moved onto something else.
The typical goal of any racket/mafia, is to eventually earn enough through their activities so as to legitimize itself.

Anything is possible, however what is not is that people will regard the new code.... with anything less than contempt and ridicule.
But self delusion is the best delusion.
Until the bubble bursts.
Of course, tinfoil hat on, it could just be a move to explain to their members, why they aren't getting a share of the spoils, "oh dear, we were going to give you a share, but a bad person took it all, sorry" (giggle, suckers)
But hey! Code.dot.dot.dot.dot.dot always wins, three cheers for code.dot etc. (Are we respected yet?) =ĸé |

My point being that Kusion has the assets now to run a daughter CODE, almost indefinitely.
Meanwhile, the remainder of mother CODE can invest its remaining assets into something else entirely. Could be anything. Perhaps they found a market niche they can dominate, perhaps the operators want to become bankers/investors.
I see this as a false flag ops to provide an excuse for shutting down CODE as it is, so as to cash out. Meanwhile the "stolen" assets are ideal and sufficient (especially the Catalysts) for maintaining a daughter CODE in its place, which again will accumulate wealth, and again be liquidated/laundered etc.

Of course, that may be the case, and nothing to do with stripping all of the assets out and leaving the members hung out to dry, of course a "favoured few" will be invited into this new code.dot.dot.dot.dot wonderland, leaving the "socially challenged" behind to wither and die, and a new clean Code.dot.dot.dot.dot rises like a pheonix.
Somehow a turd hatching out into bird of paradise is more likely than this working.
I mean the calm, reasonable, well balanced, code playerbase is naturally going to treat this in a calm and considered manner and not going to get upset in the slightest, I Mean, they embrace this side of eve and are going to say, "well done chaps! Good play, super show, you did us up like a kipper!" 
Or possibly they might react as we might ACTUALLY expect. Something like whipping a rotweiler in his man potatoes with a wet towel. |

Corp theft happens. No big deal.
Very much doubt that any "serious" member of CODE. is going to give much of a damn about this. Still plenty of stuff to gank, still plenty of people willing to gank. Still plenty of people willing to whine about being ganked.

Yeah, it is nice to see code. Undergoing some disruption for whatever reason, a grand member ripoff? Drama lama for it's own sake? Look at me I'm relevant? All may apply, the leadership stripping the hell out of the members and keeping all the lootz is the funniest scenario though. (Bad person took all the moneyz , sorry lol) it is hard to see how they spin that in a positive way, but whatever. |

The "members" never had ownership or control. Sycophantic idiots, giddily riding the wave, with no real ownership or control, gave over their assets/profits to the org. Now the org is cashing out. Yes, leaving them high and dry.
But dont panic! 5-700 bil was stolen, and 30k Catalysts! CODE will endure, but under new leadership!

CODE is, and was, a ruse to exploit its "members", specifically. CODE just set a dogma, under central control, to which adherents donated.
CODE "members" have been screwed. Which makes the CODE concept twice as hilarious, successful, and eminently EVE.

CODE is/was like the Westboro Church.
Westboro Church, despite its international widespread notoriety, actually only has about 40 registered members. Its puny. Puny even compared to the member count of many corps in a maligned, evil online spaceship game from Iceland.
Actual CODE membership, let alone control of CODE assets, is even smaller. There are many idiots running around claiming to be CODE members, but actually arent. They just tried to ride the wave, but actually are not CODE, or have any control/ownership of CODE.
Now, CODE is cashing out. Thanks for all the donations/assets, you idiots. You where never legit CODE to begin with.

If (and that is a big IF) code is really disbanding, smaller groups will form and will go rampage. Bumping and ransoming will increase by a lot, when they loose their seemingly endless source of money.
Or they will reform themself with another leader and just take a break to recover from that shock.

No indeed, Salvos; but according to CCP you need to turn bumping and ganking into a business if you are to take it to the levels attained by the New Order of Highsec (your 'CODE').
At the start of the movement, in 2012, James 315 had detailed discussions with the GMs in order to hammer out a workable model for the business. What you see now is part of the solution.
The New Order has never been confined to the CODE. Alliance - which it pre-dated by quite some time.
What people forget (if they ever knew...) is that the whole thing was started by a lone capsuleer bumping miners in an asteroid belt. It's not bumping or ganking which grabs the attention - they're quite unremarkable by themselves - it's the harnessing of those activities to a solid business model which - however you view it - is now known (and loved, or reviled) across the whole of New Eden.
That is quite an achievement from the actions of one man.
This recent business can do the movement no harm, for we've never depended on stockpiled loot for our success. It's the willingness of like-minded women and men to go out there and make a difference in Highsec which has sustained us throughout, and which will continue to sustain us, in the face of all adversity.

Wrong, can flipping died when CCP gave a built in ore bay. It might still happen but not enough to sustain a pirate population.
Rubbish, they have plenty of content, want to get better yields from processing then invest in a EC, but of course that needs a corp, then they become subject to war decs, etc. Due to the removal of the watch list they can still stay in corp and mine, content is still there.
So why do I still see people dropping cans with ore in them?  |

Now, dont get me wrong... I am not knocking pirates here. But your statement there grabbed my attention.
I do not feel anything can "sustain" pirates, because there seem to be far too many. Sure, sure, sure. There are noobs, industrialists, miners, scammers... But there are also a simply massive amount of people playing the bad guy. Playing the villain.
All MMOs seem to face this issue. Anytime a teenager can role-play the bad person, they will. Be it your Horde, Empire, Pirate... What have you. EVE has it bad because there cannot be a "three lions for every infant gazelle" ratio. It just cant work.
So the gazelles get a buff. The lions get a nerf. And the tears start.
Basically brother, you cant honestly wave the "HTFU" flag at the fraction that didnt decide to "be da bad gui" for not wanting to log in and get gate-ganked.
(Now that I think about it, crying about nerfs to your playstyle is pretty ANTI-HTFU... No matter who is doing it.) |

A matter of perception IMO. In high I see far more gazelles than lions whereas other players only see the lions. |

Miners didnt HTFU, they got their challenges removed. Its not crying to point out a lot of content has been lost over the years as CCP have catered to people craving more CCP enforced safety. This also means that they also removed more or less everything that might have been interesting. Just look at the content they get to look forwards to, chomping simi-AFK on rocks and refining said rocks or just selling to a buyer.
Its a sorry state when the likes of CODE was all they had and even that looks to be gone now. |

Cause and effect, simple stuff really.
That you chose not to war dec stuff, or that you chose not to can flip because you go suspect so you can be shot by more capable people is your issue in terms of content.
The Rorqual is going to have a much greater effect on people mining in hisec then CODE ever could have due to the massive yield possible from these ships and the impact on the market, but that is still content... |

You may not enjoy this type of content, understandably, since it hits close to home. But I have to say, it is pretty poetic and entertaining. But I won't call it "content" if it makes you feel better. |

bittersweet. Love a good raid but the who who asked why this is important needed the answer. Only reason CODE getting stomped is huge news is because it was the last bit of content miners had. This could be a good thing if it highlights just how barron highsec has become in terms of player created content. |

Not in highsec gameplay its not. A skiff pilot in highsec is still going to be the single most boring activity in gaming as well as the most simple.
Piracy is the act of making profit out of valuable loot, because the price of the available ore in hisec is so low and that at most you can fill about 3.2m worth of Ore in a barge or exhumer you don't make money pirating that, which is why most people who do piracy are waiting on gates ganking transport ships and freighters. Mining piracy in hisec was always a moronic thing to do, which is why CODE did it. And you seem to think it is a great gaping hole in game play, seriously what a stupid point of view.
People do mine into cans still, if you are too lazy to spot them then that is your issue, same as it is your issue that you do not war dec people or that you do not want to go suspect. 27k m3 of ore is hardly worth nabbing though is it, maybe 27k m3 of ice is, that is 8m, nope not worth it either...
Pirating mining ships is moronic...
I came across people in hisec who were content to mine and enjoyed doing it, it is content for them, but not for you, I don't know why you have such a thing about it, especially as you don't do hisec mining yourself. And those same people who just like to do it will still do it even though what they are mining is worth nothing, because they can... |

CODE were never pirates, jetcan nerf happened just as they were born nd the org took off because of the nerfs to the other gameplay options. There was a huge amount of content to go with jetcans from pirating miners, baiting fights with said pirates and so on.
Lucas Lucias wrote: People do mine into cans still, if you are too lazy to spot them then that is your issue
Where are the pirates, the people hunting them and all of the cans? Jetcan mining is not a thing anymore because CCP added a built in jetcan, there is no need for one anymore.

They don't do it because its fun, they do it because its a risk free way to make isk. Not the best way granted but it can be done while you play another game. |

So why are you wittering on about piracy against miners then?
And people do jet can mine, I have seen them.
You have said continuously in other threads that you were upset with the change to can flipping and cried tears over it, CODE was in part born out of that cry of pain which you alluded to in your reply here. And they were never pirates, pirates fight for loot not tears, get your terminology right.
So stop calling blowing up mining ships as piracy because it is not.
Mining in hisec is hardly worth it, especially when the impact of massive mining from Rorquals hits home in the markets, but if that is what people want to waste their time doing and people are moronic enough to steal that worthless ore what can I say, but I find people whining about people no longer pirating miners idiotic in the extreme. The pirates are killing freighters and transport ships on the way to market, the risk is there. CODE is and always has been an idiotic organisation, but at least some saw where to make money and Kusion is one of them as was your corp under Warr Akini. |

No no no, it is certainly not AFK, I have mined with a Skiff and an Orca. And that makes a gank fun, because the Orca has a ship hanger and that is when you change to a ECM burst ship for lol's. |

When I started can flipping was much, much more common than it is now. I often mine while working from home, and I have not seen any of that content you speak of. Mining in HS was much, much more common too. Going to a 0.5 system alot of the belts would be heavily mined. Cans anchored all over the place, etc. Now, in those same systems the belts are wastelands with alot of untouched asteroids.
Yes, this is an anecdote, but over the years, my experience matches up to what baltec1 has been writing.
And technically, you can have that heavy "diskussions" with or without mining. And that kinda makes baltec1's point, that mining is really boring without some non-mining activity thrown in on top of it.

Orca got a fairly great buff. Sucker gets good yield and a solid tank, they only downside is it can be bumped. |

A little less yield then an unboosted skiff or mack plus massive tank and cargo.

And that kinda makes baltec1's point, that mining is really boring without some non-mining activity thrown in on top of it. Sorry. I should have mentioned, that i am a full time ice miner in the best ice constellation of new eden. With 8 belts in 6 chained systems. 1 system has 3 belts after the downtime. A lot of miner attracts a lot of "content creators". =ĸÄ

You mean a mining orca right? A skiff is full after a few minutes. A drone mining orca can stay in a belt for hours. But always more of a target, partially because it's more valuable, partially because the pilot is almost certainly completely AFK, making for an easier-than-usual gank. Orca got a fairly great buff. Sucker gets good yield and a solid tank, the only downside is it can be bumped. Combat Orca are also a thing. Against bumpers you can fit an 500mn mwd, what brings you back faster back to the belt. Or circle a can or another ship to prevent the most bumping attempts. Of course that makes bumpers angry, what leads to local rants.
More content, yay.

I tested a max yield fitted ice drone mining orca with the best drones, what makes one block ice in about 50 sec. plus drone travel time. My skiffs make 2 block in 76 sec. without boost. With boost in 45,6 sec. The hulk is even better. Edit 2. It's been a while since i tested that. Maybe CCP buffed the orca or the drones since then. Idk.
Orca got a rebalance, mining drone wise you get 27.8 m3/s while the tanked hulk gets 28.3 m3/s. It doesn't factor in flight time though but still a great yield for the orca. |

The ganking activity and charging the dumber folk in the game a fee, which is was then used to finance the fee player's ship destruction, part of CODE activities was always fine and should be applauded for originality.
But to be honest, I personally found them to be the only role players I actually found creepy.
Apart from the obvious fact that I find role playing in Eve..well..odd.
Still, each to their own and all that class of thing.
This is not a signature.

A tanked hulk -   that's a good one. Nobody flys a hulk for its tank. I know a hulk fleet around. He never mines more then 2 or 3 hours a day. So he speeds up at maximum. I mine 3 days per week, 10 - 12 hours per day. Sometimes more. I make a lot of ice with my 5 tanked skiffs. Managing Hulks would burn me out fast. And Macks are not fast or strong enough.

The start of today's post is very interesting though:
Fact and fiction, truth and falsehood. How to tell the difference? When we remember that the CODE always wins (always), it's pretty easy. However, for those who have yet to embrace the Code, things get murky, and it's easy to be led astray. And that inevitably brings them great disappointment and heartbreak--repeatedly, if they're not careful. We'll be seeing a demonstration of that later, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...
Carebears, so ready normally, to disregard anything a ganker in CODE. says, have been so willing to jump at this news and embrace it.
Will be interesting to see where the truth eventually lies.

I was talking about a single drone mining orca, what is the ultimate afk miner now. A little less yield then an unboosted skiff or mack plus massive tank and cargo.
I will run two Orca's and it sounds like you use the same fit with 400k EHP, I sometimes switch to an Orca with a Skiff and have a ECM burst ship in the hanger, because I hope that CODE will up their game, but as they are dying which I kept on pointing out before this theft I did not see it as necessary.
But I never mine AFK, unless you count a trip to the toilet or making a cuppa as AFK. |

I don't know why you see any butt hurt in what I posted, in any case I do not see this as the end of CODE even if it is real, there are some pretty dedicated players in there who do more than die as cyno alts Despite your obvious attitude there are many things I respect about certain CODE players, such as organisation and dedication for a start. Kusion was freighter, Industrial and Transport ganking and is very very good at it, this is at least the third event around the loot of such ganking that I am aware of.

CODE are likely to survive this IMO, but the slope is downwards and has been for some time, this could all be an attention seeking wail so that brown noses like Shae can pretend that CODE is winning, however the simple truth is that there are less and less active agents running around and there are more and more miners who don't see CODE at all, if you want to call that winning then go ahead. I am just enjoying watching this as it develops to its ultimate whimpering ending.
Ganking is still going to happen, and pirating will too, the issue is moving stuff to market, which is what you have seen for some time along the pipes and at the market hubs and there is no issue in that apart from bumping being a fail mechanism, which I am now hearing is being looked at by CCP in terms of the physics of bumping. I get that you are just playing the metagame Dracvlad and thus you have your narrative, but don't go all Baghdad Bob on us with it in the face of the facts. The killboards report that the CODE. alliance had its 6th best month ever in terms of number of kills last month, coming off of the 4th most number of kills in December. The activity of the alliance is still near or at peak, and while I can't say if your neck of the woods has seen less Code enforcement in recent months, the numbers say the alliance is chugging along just fine, as always.
Shae's point on this seems legit. The response to this "event" shows how relevant and important the New Order is in this game. The constant people posting to celebrate the (clearly fake) demise of an organization, and posting in this thread and on reddit about how happy they are that finally someone "did something about those bad people", or how irrelevant that organization was/is, speaks volumes on just how relevant it really is. Way more relevant that the hundreds of lame and irrelevant corps and alliance that don't do anything of note. Replace CODE with any of these irrelevant ones in the same reddit thread and you would just get a collective shrugging of the shoulders, and perhaps a yawn before it dropped of the front page. Only a few organization have as much relevance as CODE. and would generate such interest.
This manufactured drama has highlighted a persuasive misunderstanding of the Code, CODE. and the New Order of Highsec that if you understand, would recognize that nothing was ever in jeopardy. CODE. is just one alliance that enforces the document known as the New Halaima Code of Conduct (AKA The Code), as part of the New Order of Highsec. CODE. could implode or be superseded by another alliance in the loose and decentralized organization known as the New Order, yet the ideas documented in The Code would keep on being enforced. I would venture to say at this point, they are so entrenched and part of New Eden they are beyond even James 315 himself (forgive my sacrilege!). The Code is forever. It is a living manifestation of the game CCP has built. The Code isn't going anywhere regardless of some squabbling over pixels or numbers in a database, whether the squabbling is real or not.
There is a reason they say the Code always wins, 'cause it always does. There is no level of damage one can inflict on the New Order that would stop it, and given it exists as primarily an idea, and an idea that enjoys privileged status with CCP at that, the Code is invulnerable. This yin is in contrast to the yang of Anti-Ganking movement, also an idea, which seems to always fail, non-stop, and daily, largely because they set out on an impossible task mostly for unclear moral reasons, emotion, or more often out of butthurt. While AG could demonstrate more competence (especially if they got over their fear of losing ships), they can never win but they, like the New Order, also cannot be headshot and killed given the decentralized and ideological nature of the movement.
Really though, it is just a game. Eve is a great game that can produce such high level, emergent game play, but it seems to happen less and less as the player base (and developers) keep pushing for more safety, and favouring consensual, honourable PvP over the raw ingredients for drama like this. While I will continue to support the New Order and do my best to help create content and interesting player stories like this one, I just wish such emergent events were more frequent elsewhere in the game.

While I am not on the bandwagon of CODE dying etc. at this point I have noticed a few things about key players and their activity or lack thereof, and as you know this is not the first time we have seen a splat over freighter loot is it? But I will wait and see. Yes you cannot be headshot, nor can you be stopped by people in game, small fast ships that are difficult to catch, a multitude of targets, bumping, etc., the only thing that will kill CODE as an ideal is boredom and the realisation that most people who do PvP are not exactly fans of the play style.
Well I win every time I mine something and not get blown up, I win every time I move stuff to the market hubs. You can say that CODE win because I use tanked ships and act in a very defensive way while operating in hisec, but I would do that anyway. So you are winning? So am I!

But I will wait and see. The faces and names may change, but CODE. alliance is still there. The numbers don't lie and show bot-aspirants exploding at strong and consistent rates. They also show about 90 active CODE. characters in the last 7 days, which has been around the norm for the last couple years, maybe even up a tad. People take breaks, people get banned, people move on, (even an alliance could too) but the Code itself isn't going anywhere. As for the alliance, CODE. certainly isn't going anywhere over some dispute over freighter loot, at least not as long as it is practically given to you by so many clueless and incompetent freighter pilots.
Come on, you are acting like an ISK-obsessed carebear. I know you know there are more important things in this game than virtual objects, so why would you think that could bring down an organization that explicitly rejects such dirty materialism?

Realization? With that sentence my friend, you have hit upon the exact reason the Code will never die. If everyone accepted Eve was in fact a PvP game everywhere all the time and played accordingly even in highsec, the New Order might very well be in danger of dying of boredom from a lack of targets. But if that happened, we would die happy having achieved total victory given that is the very goal of the movement as outlined in the Code. But the sad reality is the majority of highsec doesn't view the game this way and probably never will. And with every buff to highsec safety CCP just makes highsec players more complacent and more isolated from PvP, and thus fattening up another future target for us.
Don't you see how the Code always wins? Either we get to explode you, or force you to take steps to defend yourself in a PvP game. We don't care that some small-minded players define PvP has 'honouable duels at the sun' or something that only happens outside of highsec. We reject this eBushido space samurai nonsense and bring the real Eve to the part of New Eden that needs it the most: highsec, exactly as CCP has ordained us to.
I think we can both agree there is little danger of us growing bored given the reluctance of highsec players, both "PvPers" as you define them and pure industrial-minded players, to actually treat highsec as part of a competitive PvP sandbox game and not some mining or hauling screensaver you run while vacuuming the house or weeding the garden.

I don't agree with you that CCP are blocking this gameplay. Indeed you are winning Eve. Now to be fair, CCP has stacked the deck so much in your favour it is pretty trivial to avoid losing anything of consequence to another player in highsec, but you are indeed winning every time you safely deliver the goods you gathered to market. In fact, the actions of the New Order and of highsec criminals contribute to you getting a better price for your goods by interdicting your competition and stimulating demand for your items.
CCP isn't blocking you from doing this. In fact, this is exactly how CCP intends for the game to work. You as a diligent industrialist are rewarded, while the lazy, greedy or clueless industrialist ends up fodder for the other players. Player-driven risk in highsec they call it.
Well, this drifted off-topic. I think enough words have be said over risk vs. reward, the New Order, the sorry state of highsec and so forth. I will say I am eager to hear the complete story of the "heist" and all the attendant fallout. Sounds like there are a few good stories to come regarding how this drama played out and the opportunities for shenanigans it created.

Well first of all I also analyse the numbers, such as loot drops etc., plus the cost of ganking freighters and of course this did hurt, but a mortal blow no, I never thought that for one moment, I just found it interesting based on what I knew about previous splats over this issue. ISK obsessed carebear, blowing things up takes ISK as one of a number of resources, that is it.
I have always played as if I was in danger of being blown up even in hisec, what I find amusing is that most AG players have as healthy a contempt for auto piloting freighters as you do. My issue is however more to do with a lack of balance, but I am not going to go on about it, I am back in 0.0 with a decent alliance with the intention to get involved in some of the interesting fleet combat that is possible now. That is where the threat comes from, but you are right there will always be some players doing this and doing it in CODE.
You say that it is stacked in our favour, but I don't see it the same way, I see it stacked in your favour in terms of a number of key mechanics, but we can agree to disagree, from my side of the fence I do not expect CCP will make hisec risk free as that is against the ethos of the game, however that should not mean that certain mechanics should not be adjusted, but I really cannot be bothered to go down that rabbit hole for yet another exchange, you know where I sit on that part.
I expect they will all kiss and make up and gank together again soon., heck it might even be deliberate to mask the real date of burn Jita, would not surprise me at all... |

Don't encourage them, it only makes them believe they matter.
Sure, they exist, sure they kill some stuff, other than that they are like an embarrassing disease, people are uncomfortable mentioning them and everyone is glad when the antibiotics kick in.
And if you mention them on the forums they burst out like herpes going "LOOOK AT MEEEEEE" |

Hello Alderson. Nice to see you struggling to take your own advice there!
I do however give you credit for your correct use of the word 'than' (not quoted), for which 'then' is frequently and incorrectly substituted in these sub-forums, to my sorrow. The English language deserves better, and it's an easy error to correct - I mean one letter, for goodness' sake.
Carry on.

On another note *puts on tinfoil hat* there are times i suspect CCP from secretly messing with large corps/alliances. For what purpose? Hell do i know, i only know that at some point or another, when a corp/alliance gets too big or too well known, something happens to them and they croak and die.  CODE is/was like the Westboro Church. Westboro Church, despite its international widespread notoriety, actually only has about 40 registered members. Its puny. Puny even compared to the member count of many corps in a maligned, evil online spaceship game from Iceland. Actual CODE membership, let alone control of CODE assets, is even smaller. There are many idiots running around claiming to be CODE members, but actually arent. They just tried to ride the wave, but actually are not CODE, or have any control/ownership of CODE. Now, CODE is cashing out. Thanks for all the donations/assets, you idiots. You where never legit CODE to begin with. Jokes on you lololololol
lol who are you talking to? 
Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

It does not matter what happened or how much isk was lost if it even really happened. The main thing is nothing changes when I lay next to my wife in bed I think about minerbumping as I scoot closer to her |

Or indeed, 'the English sound, which deserves batter....'
Quite right, Morion, confirming that we (the English) invented the 'dog's-dinner' literary style..
And now, back to our scheduled programme..

The hype is all there is... if you don't believe that, then what do you have?
I've spent years mining in high sec, initially in Kamio and the surround systems. This was back when James315 first started wandering about, though back then the smug arrogant fa+šade just got him laughed it. (Calm down, bumper.) Never had a run in with a bumper or a ganker in all the years since.
Bumpers and gankers, while having influence on people at an individual level ( "waaaaa.. I lost a ship" ) have very little influence on the wider EvE Experience. Did I manage to sell something at market for 1isk more because someone else got ganked somewhere, by someone? How about 10isk more? 100? More? I have no idea, which means even if the price had increased, it wasn't enough for me to notice and was, to me, irrelevant, just like the bumpers and gankers I have never seen, let alone met. Was there a 'roid in existence that wouldn't have been if they hadn't bumped and ganked some random afk'er? Asteroids are not something we are short of so again, irrelevant.
I don't say much on the forums, I just have a read every so often and look for a giggle or two. Bumpers and gankers have provided that giggle, on and off, drawing forth tears and rage from those few so inclined to come here and post about an avoidable loss.
I am genuinely curious how many actually players post on these forums, expressed as a percentage of total players. I suspect the people who post on these forums are but a minor part of the player base. I'm not quite convinced I could find 1500 different user on these forums, not even the population of Jita, allowing for the bots there cancelling out the Alts here.
For me, by far the biggest giggle has come from those who confuse relevance on the forum with relevance in the game.
Enjoy. |

You're clearly a veteran and observant player, Jhonas; I like to see that reflected in a post. I do have one minor gripe though:
Relevance is irrelevant, whether on the forums or in-game; Personal Fulfilment trumps Relevance every time. |

Indeed it does, every single time.

Nope. But it's been entertaining. CODE and Goons griefed and Burn Jita ganked. And it's not even April...
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.
