CODEdot Tournament Team Makes History

Unless you've been living under a rock--instead of hanging on every word written about the New Order--you've probably heard the news about the CODE. Alliance Tournament team. The first weekend of the tournament was dominated by discussion of the CODEdot team, and it looks like the same will be true of the second. CCP Gargant announced that CODEdot's next match, scheduled for this weekend, has been cancelled:

"CODE. did not show up for their scheduled match against Red vs. Blue nor did they make any attempt to inform the tournament organizers of their status. We have decided to interpret their actions as a sign of resignation from the tournament. As such they have been disqualified from Alliance Tournament XII and CODE. will not be able to enter future Alliance Tournaments."
Assuming the CODEdot team was planning to attend the match, it's a shame Circle-Of-Two won't get the chance to play. On the other hand, this might be the most exciting thing that's ever happened to them. But enough about Circle-Of-Two. This is about CODEdot.

In addition to banning CODEdot from the remainder of Alliance Tournament XII, CCP Gargant took an extraordinary step: He announced that CODEdot will not be allowed to enter future ones. CODEdot has been officially permabanned from the Alliance Tournament. This is the first time in EVE's history that any alliance has ever been banned from multiple tournaments for any reason, let alone permabanned.

Thus, CODEdot retires from its Alliance Tournament career without having lost a single ship. Even more impressive, CODEdot no longer has even the potential to lose a ship in the future. Or even a shield hitpoint!

Now, I know what you're thinking, skeptics and rebels of highsec. "Big deal. Anyone can forfeit a match and get permabanned from the Alliance Tournament. You better not say CODE always wins."

First of all, don't bother scrolling down to the bottom of this post: You already know it's tagged with the "Victory" tag. Second of all, are you sure any alliance can do what CODEdot did? How sure are you?

Though I'm best known as the Saviour of Highsec, I wear many hats. It just so happens that I am also the foremost historian of EVE. Today, I'm going to do something that I almost never do in a MinerBumping post. I am going to take off my Saviour of Highsec hat (actually a gleaming crown) and put on my EVE Historian hat (actually a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches). The reason I'm doing this is that I want you, the reader, to gain a full appreciation of just how historic CODEdot's Alliance Tournament permaban truly is.

To begin with, AT bans are rare, but they're not unprecedented. In Alliance Tournament IV, Hedonistic Imperative was disqualified from a match for rules violations. One of its team members then shot and destroyed a neutral player who was serving as the tournament cameraman. The team was banned from the remainder of the tournament. More famously, Outbreak. and Hydra Reloaded were banned from Alliance Tournament X. They had been caught cheating by CCP Screegs, head of security.

Note the contrast. Two teams, Outbreak. and Hydra Reloaded, were actually caught cheating, but that was still only enough to get them banned from a single tournament. Until now, no team has ever gotten even a double tournament ban, let alone a permaban.

You might think that CODEdot's forfeiting a match was a particularly severe crime. After all, it prevented another team from being able to play in its place. It didn't, though. Due to lack of interest, only 63 teams signed on for Alliance Tournament XII. The tourney wasn't full. In fact, CODEdot itself didn't make the original application deadline back in May, but CCP extended the deadline because the tournament wasn't even close to full.

But maybe there's something to the idea that forfeiting a match is something new, something that needed a stronger punishment. Let us examine this hypothesis and test it with facts.

There have been high-profile forfeits before. In Alliance Tournament VII, Laconian Syndicate announced it was forfeiting because its first match was to be against an alliance of "veteran players". Therefore, Laconian Syndicate tried to auction off its tourney slot on EVE-O. This caused an especially big stir because the alliance representative doing the auction was Larkonis Trassler, a member of the CSM. People got upset.

Did the Laconian Syndicate team get banned from future tournaments? No. In fact, CCP Navigator went out of his way in the thread to remind people to only place bids, not make complaints and objections, because the thread was in the Sell Order subforum. He actually facilitated the sale.

Another amusing forfeit occurred during Alliance Tournament VI, when Exalted. announced that it was forfeiting for this reason:
"Due to a crippling fear of the Minmatar Militia, Exalted. has to come to the unfortunate conclusion that we must withdraw from the Alliance Tournament. We are spineless hauler gankers and as such we have decided against risking a loss."
That's right, CODEdot wasn't even the first alliance to forfeit partly due to its love of ganking industrial ships! Exalted was not given any punishment for forfeiting.

Nevertheless, there's an important difference between those two forfeits and CODEdot's. Unlike those two alliances, which announced their forfeits on the eve of the contest, CODEdot's team simply failed to appear at the tournament. There was no warning, and no way for CCP to rustle up a replacement team. Perhaps this is why CODEdot's punishment was so far in excess of any yet seen. Have any other alliance teams committed CODEdot's offense--not showing up when called to the field?

Oh yeah.

Oh yyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.

As a matter of fact, many teams have forfeited by failing to show up for the Alliance Tournament. Like, a lot. It has been happening literally since day one. After the first day of the very first Alliance Tournament, all the way back in 2005, CCP announced:
"Sadly a great number of teams had to forfeit their fight because they were engaged otherwise or could not assemble a team of fighters on such short notice."
A "great number of teams" forfeited. A great number forfeited on the first day. The reporter speculates that the teams were otherwise engaged. Maybe ganking carebears in highsec? I hope so.

The punishment, of course, was not a permaban for these teams. There was no punishment for forfeiting whatsoever. You might write all of this off to CCP having difficulty organizing the first tournament. But the forfeits continued in subsequent Alliance Tournaments. Complete statistics are impossible to come by, but Alliance Tournament II still has some of its original reporting online. We have much more detail about it than Alliance Tournament I. From the second day of Alliance Tournament II:
"The Five continued their success from the first day with a win against Serenus Letum; however several subsequent matches proved to be disappointing as the Caldari Gaming Commission announced a number of teams had forfeited their matches."
That's "several" forfeits. In one day. Sixteen matches were scheduled, and they only describe about 11 of them, so we can guess around 5 matches with a forfeiting team (or both teams!). From the report on day four:
"Some unique tactics including smart bombing fleet commanders podding their own players and mining lasers on Megathrons were the highlight of a day that was spoiled by a large number of forfeits. With the tournament moving into the Second Round, many alliances appeared to have given up both on qualifying and the Caldari Navy Raven on offer as compensation..."
A large number of forfeits on one day; it looks like another five of 'em. And day five? Even more:
"The final day of the group stages was one marred by the most forfeits in the competition, but those games that did go ahead provided some firsts for the Tournament."
That looks to be another 7 or so forfeits in a single day. Filling in the gaps, I managed to find an archived version of the day one report on a Finfleet board:
"The final match was the third forfeit of the day which whilst disappointing, allowed the tournament to finish on time."
You see? There's even a silver lining for all those forfeits, as it keeps the tourney schedule moving quickly. No permaban, or any punishment of any kind. But my favorite is the report from day three. After mentioning two other forfeits, we hear about Pure. alliance:
"After forfeiting their first two fights on Friday and Saturday, Pure attended their third against The Five with a lone Ishkur pilot as an apparent sporting gesture."
Not only was the Pure team not penalized for forfeiting, it was allowed to continue on in the tournament. Then it forfeited again. After two forfeits, CCP still allowed them to continue.

Detailed reports on subsequent Alliance Tournaments are harder to come by, since much of it was done on an Interstellar Correspondents website that is no longer online. The official records which are still available simply record wins and losses without noting which matches were forfeits. Nevertheless, bits and pieces of information about forfeits are still available, if you Google and Eve-Search around. Due to financial incentives and better organization, the number of forfeits declined over the years. But they continued. A few examples from about ten minutes of digging around:

In Alliance Tournament III, Serenus Letum forfeited. The team received no punishment whatsoever.

In Alliance Tournament V, SMASH Alliance forfeited. The team received no punishment whatsoever.

In Alliance Tournament IX, United Front Alliance forfeited. The team received no punishment whatsoever.

Then there was Alliance Tournament XII's CODE. alliance...


Yes, that wicked, wicked, naughty CODEdot. How could they forfeit a match? Who would dare do something like that, at an Alliance Tournament of all places?

Seriously, though, across the years, there have probably been around 50+ cases where a team simply didn't show up. Most of those were in the earlier tournaments, but certainly not all. In every single instance, the forfeiting team received absolutely zero punishment whatsoever from CCP. No team has ever been banned from participating in future tournaments due to a failure to appear for a tournament match.

Until CODEdot, that is. They got a tournament permaban--a punishment that even cheaters don't get.

Not that I'm passing judgment or anything. Whilst I am clad in my tweed jacket with leather elbow patches, I am a perfectly objective observer of events. I simply find the matter interesting, from a historical perspective.

You can't say CODEdot isn't good at making history.

  9. Hats off, Ladies and Gentlemen! If there was ever needed irrefutable evidence of the special place held by the New Order in the upper echelons at CCP - you have it here. All courtesy of our Historian and Archivist-in-Chief, James 315.

    The policy (such as it is) seems to be to attack the New Order - by not attacking the New Order. Novel. Instead, punitive measures are taken against groups and individuals who are associated with the Organisation. It is the strongest evidence yet that CCP does not intend to replace its current Mission Statement with The Code.

    Aghast at the wailing and gnashing of teeth of the carebear petition squad, they have come to the conclusion that 'We must do something - anything'.

    Unlike the measured, cautious process by which the New Order is revolutionising Highsec, CCP's approach to our emergent gameplay has thus been inappropriately savage, petty and knee-jerk. At best. Look no further than the example in the Blog, above.

    Of course, they did ban the name from future Tournaments, not the players. That might have been considered a step too far, even for CCP.

      Completely ignoring the fact that this "special place" was entirely creation of CODE - breaking tournament battle, avoiding to explain situation to CCP.

      "Unlike the measured, cautious process by which the New Order is revolutionising Highsec, CCP's approach to our emergent gameplay has thus been inappropriately savage, petty and knee-jerk."

      You've ruined the show - you've got what you deserved. Actually CCP was too kind for CODE, considering such limited response in actions. I would ban from future tournament events whole alliance, individuals, known alts and put wallets of all involved to amount of ISK, equivalent to hourly salary rate of CCP employes, multiplied by number of hourse they had to do chatter, filling the time you failed.

      Now remove yourself from my sight, you are disgrace to PvP community.

    3. Indeed Sasha, it is clear that CCP is infested with carebear sympathizers. I too have seen the evidence of religious persecution that we are now being subjected too on a regular basis, all because we dare to be righteous and live according to a few simple commandments contained within the code.

      CCP may wish to feed us to the lions, but we stand resolute. Nothing will stop us from converting the entirety of high-sec to our cause. Our crusade is a noble one. Some within CCP may have other ideas, but their ideas are folly as they are not informed by the code. "For their 'wisdom' descendeth not from above, but is instead earthly, unspiritual and demonic" (James 3:15, the King James Version).

      But I have faith my friend. Faith that we will live to see a day where the code is included within the TOS/EULA. Faith that we will effect lasting change in this game, and ultimately save it from destruction.

But given the fact that lots of teams have forfeited before and not received any bans etc it seems a bit harsh and the tournament was not full there was no one else to fill the gap I cannot see the problem they paid their entry fee and decided how they wanted to use that.

  14. One little thing for everyone to keep in mind - the New Order of Highsec is not an alliance.
    Remember how an Agent is defined on the Agents page of this very website?
    "Everyone in EVE who takes any action to support our cause is an Agent of the New Order."

    Members of various alliances often join us for ganks, and some of them faciliate their own enforcement operations, making them part of the New Order (but not CODE.).
    A tournament victory for any of those groups would be a tournament victory for the New Order. If someone is willing to look for the teams that qualify, please do.
    My interest in the AT is unfortunately not high enough to do any research on the topic.

Now that would be a troll, it would be an obvious troll, and it would have been funny as hell.

    3. Anon 3.48, I am from an indy corp background in EVE, but haven't found code toxic or arrogant. Over time I have got to know many of them in the game and love what the style of game play adds to the game. If you want to get on in EVE, you learn how to adapt your tactics to progress in the game and make many friends along the way.

    4. Exactly. Eve is about adaptation. CODE. simply doesn't pose a threat to those willing to adapt. The big nullsec alliances don't particularly care about CODE. because it's not a threat, even to their highsec logistics. This isn't a "lol CODE. can't do anything", it's just that the people most willing to adapt aren't finding themselves getting farmed by CODE.

      And I mean hell it's simple even if you're going to stay in Highsec. At this point people should have figured out not to autopilot a freighter through Uedama and Aufay. And to add them to the avoidance lists (it's only a few extra jumps people D:) You don't have time to not AFK mine? Do some PI or industry. Those are pretty much just as AFK as AFK mining, with the bonus that you don't even need to be online to run the jobs. Don't have time to haul your goods to a hub? Let them stack up then hire a freighter to move it for you. It's pretty cheap and again, you don't have to do much legwork yourself. And you don't need to buy a billion ISK freighter to do it. That's got to save you some money on your bottom line.

    3. A. Gorila was stupid for bringing his personal life into the game, and in light of that he should probably walk away for good.

      B. Anon 431 I don't care for your lowball tactic, and want to express that no one agrees with your views. You are most likely an AG member in the first place. If it would actually matter, I would call you a cunt and threaten your life.

    6. Actually, I found those two images quite funny. Good find Gorila. Now do you see people? These code agents have been going at each other for awhile at code HQ. Now maybe people will actually believe me instead of thinking that I'm trolling them. Oh, and DJ Entropy, thank you for confirming what I have been saying about you guys all along. Feels good to be vindicated.

      Oh, and "butthurt miner August 22, 2014 at 8:16 PM" isn't my post. Nice try code trolls, be we all know that wasn't me since Gorila and myself are actually good friends and I won't say anything against ganker bumping or the AG community.

    8. DJ is a serial attention seeker, he is all over the internet on every Eve forum responding to any post and saying the same old rubbish over and over again.

      It wouldn't be so bad but 99% of what he says is pure lies and exaggeration plus he has the same pretentious attitude and falseness where he says he likes people and loves Eve but he has a serious contempt and hatred towards anyone who is not code.

      This is high level hatred too and as severe and obsessional as it can get. What you will see is him using a lot of alts and stirring trouble in forums and on Eve. He will also pursue individuals and harass them with those same alts.

      His role model is Ero 1, I am not going to say it is his him but both share the same traits and have severe personality disorders.

      Add to this that he is most likely a manic depressive with severe anxiety issues then you have a nest of problems. The worse thing is this person is the code Diplomat which shows where code currently are, they are becoming a PR nightmare with his and Loyalanon's crazy outbursts.

      James 315 you started an alliance from scratch and worked hard and tried to keep a decent standard - are you going to let these imbeciles destroy it?

  30. Disappointed that this is how things turned out....expected more from Code.

    To the extent that a 200 bil payoff was involved (and 12 tri worth of betting manipulation by RvB), as claimed by Code members, that should have been included in the post.

    4. "expected more from Code"

      What showing, exactly, did you expect from an alliance that can ONLY fly catalysts, with a few taloses, brutixes, and thrashers thrown into the mix? From an alliance that ganked their own sponsor's freighter? That decided to go on downtime-downtime freighter ganking sprees rather than practice?

    6. My dear friend DJ, I'm not quite sure if you know what the word "truth" means. Either Code was bought off for 200 billion isk to throw the match, or it wasn't. Either way, and in conformity with the New Order's longstanding full disclosure policies you owe it to your members, your ganker, your shareholders, your gank victims, and all your other assorted community members to disclose the truth of the matter. Did Code get a 200 billion isk bribe from RvB to throw the match?

      As far as leading Code, the truth of the matter is that it does not much appeal to me. Yes, I oppose all mining, yes I feel that mining should be removed from the game (I will soon be posting a "Plea to abolish all mining from Eve" on the Eve Forums - feel free to lend your voice in support). I do not believe that extorting miners for 10 million isk for a permit solves the fundamental problem with mining - that it is solitary, that it is done afk, that it creates misery, and that it leads to hyperinflation. The only humane solution, most of all for the miners themselves, is to remove it from the game. The rest of Code mostly consists of griefing and tear extraction, mainly to soothe the egos of your nullsec and wormhole members, who upon seeing any profitable activity in empire immediately start screaming RISK/REWARD, OMFG THEY MAKE MORE ISK THAN US, NEED IMMEDIATE NERF OR WE WILL ALL QUITE EVE (cf. the Eve Forums). Again, I desire no part in this.

      Rather, my lot is with the members of Red Pen List. Ever since I first learned of its existence one of my primary goals in this game has been to become a member thereof. Challenges were numerous, most seriously the fact that I do not mine, and therefore according to the Code am ineligible for membership. Undeterred, I made my case for membership, and to my everlasting delight, and despite neither mining nor losing a ship to Code, my application was accepted. I would suggest creating a "Red Pen List" section of the website, where the most feared enemies of Code, such as myself, are prominently displayed. A brief biography would also be appropriate, as well as a discussion of how membership on the list was achieved. I would certainly like to get to know my fellow Red Pen List members.

      Further, I learned that I will become a New Order Shareholder, without needing to expend funds. This is also a new achievement, one that I am quite proud of.

      To conclude, I do not desire to be part of Code, rather I value my independence, and will continue to stand up for my principles.

  31. So CCP break with their own precedents and ban CODE from all future AT's. Are you feeling a little vulnerable James? After all they could just as easily permaban you next time. It seems that neither your eloquence or precedent are protections from CCP's actions.

  33. All CCP employees involved in this decision should be investigated by IA. They seem to have in-game grudges they are taking out on content creators. Investigate the E1 banning as well. Did Ripard Teg have anything to do with this behind the scenes like he did with his abuses of CSM position to protect Somer?

    Can't say I blame CCP for this. In other instances of forfeits teams either informed CCP or were unable to show for a variety of reasons. CODE. instead failed to show, failed to communicate, and then went and bragged about it all over the internet. WTF did you think would happen? First rule of any online game if you want to keep playing: Don't mess with the devs, and don't make bad press.

    3. Of course DJ blows off any post which tells the truth but look on here guys and in any other Eve forum and you will see DJ trolling all of them. He has serious issues and is craving for attention and has no life so he feeds off Eve.

      My comparison would be to Erotica1, both are pure psychotics, both pretend to be nice but are the most hateful and abysmal people you will ever find on Eve.

      Only think to be thankful for is people like this are stuck in basements
      playing Eve and aren't involved in society.
