Impersonating an Officer of the Law

A few months ago, it came to my attention that rebels had begun efforts to impersonate me by creating characters with similar-looking names and portraits:


Can you spot the fake? They both are. My fame throughout highsec has also inspired various imitators who take the job of impersonation a bit less seriously:


Now the Knights of the Order have come under the eye of these shiftless rebels. Pictured below is the most elaborate of the most recent deceptions:


Note the use of the lower-case "L" in place of the "i" in Currin Trading. This false knight went so far as to copy Currin's bio and create a fake version of New Order Logistics.


The true New Order Logistics does not contain a "." at the end. Although the perpetrator copied the corp logo and used a similar-looking corp ticker, he did not bother to found the corp in Halaima. I'm told that other Knights of the Order are being impersonated, as well.

Don't be fooled! If someone comes into your system claiming to be an Agent and tells you it's okay to violate the Code, you know you're dealing with a fake. A true Agent will never ask you to violate the Code.

  5. Maybe they feel so empty inside, and despite the fact they want to be part of the Order, they also believe they must feel miserable at all times. To this end, they begin to wear the trappings of the Order, especially our vaunted leader, because their psychosis can be so crippling that the emulation of that which they love/despise can help them come to grips through escapism with the sad reality that all they do is afk mine.

  6. It's because they never bother to read up on the rules of the game. Being that they're too lazy to not AFK mine, are you really surprised?

  7. It is really amazing they disregard the EULA, and don't get reported, especially with those alleged RL death threats.

  8. I'm not really trying to get anyone in trouble though, just mentioning, it is all in anger after all, and we know anyone can say things they don't mean out of anger.

  9. I report every single one that does it to me, because they need to learn that such actions will actually have consequences. Regardless of it being said in anger, CCP's position on the matter is very clear, but CCP don't monitor chat logs, so it's up to anyone that sees it to actually file a report.

    Apart from that, I never take the threat seriously because I'm actually quite hard to find.

Even though these somewhat watches really are saved for the fake Breitling watches current wrist and also anywhere better, Imitation de qualite Bell & Ross they're only just stunning. They still make all of these showcasing in sometimes a new steel and also buckskin music group. Their dials are created from mother-of-pearl even though another extravagant Replica Ulysse Nardin watches UK models transpire adorned alongside precious gem stones. Business users must add a model planned for ornate express.
