The Silent Witness

In case you haven't noticed, it's Venture Appreciation Month in highsec. What started with Agent Anal Canal's idea to give away a single PLEX has grown into something extraordinary. It's fitting that we should take some time to appreciate the history of Venture ganking, which has always been a colorful New Order tradition. Agent Malcolm Shinhwa shares his story of a memorable Venture gank:

"Cruising around Balle waiting, hoping, for wartargets to login. I was chatting with the locals about my favorite topic, the Code, when I saw a newbro in his Venture. I warned newbro that Balle wasn't a safe place for one so young and in such a fragile ship. He LOL'ed in local. I continued to give warnings in local. You know, just like people always say that we should, because then people would understand and buy the permits."


A young carebear named Ripjack Rotineque was barely three and a half days into the game. But already he was walking down the path of bot-aspirancy and rebellion.


Instead of buying a permit, Ripjack acted like a baby. Malcolm was trained to handle babies.

"I found a spare Cat, meta-4 fit :(, but it would have to do. It took several minutes to get everything sorted. Would Ripjack beat feet after making such a rude remark to a Knight of the New Order? I had tried to be nice. Tried to tell him Balle wasn't safe. Told him about the permits. What did I get for doing it the carebear way? Insulted. Surely he's not out in space..."


Ripjack was easy to find. Highsec is no place to hide from the New Order.


Pop, pop, and the young miner was on his way.


The residents of Balle were much impressed by Malcolm's lightning victory. Our hero shrugged off the praise. He was a tactical genius, sure, but he was just doing his job.


Agents of the New Order aren't merely elite PvP warriors; they are also artists and philosophers. Malcolm took some time to reflect upon Ripjack's short EVE life and what it meant to highsec. Then he made this memorial. Without the Order, the carebear would have been forgotten. Thanks to Malcolm, the lessons of Ripjack's life would stand forever--as a silent witness to the Code.

    Well done Malcolm & Lenda. It's a thankless job we do, but we know in our hearts righteousness is on our side.

    1. One gets tired of repeating it,but...

      Anyone can enter the contest - it is an open contest. You don't have to be part of the CODE. Alliance (many of whom are busy transforming Highsec in other ways). Prizes are awarded for (among other things) the number of Ventures popped, and not the number of people doing the popping.

      sigh...

    2. What contest?
      Alliance Tournament?

  10. To be honest, this seems like a missed opportunity. CODE. nabs some mining barges with a full flight of drones and well... mines it out of him. With Hob IIs.

    ReplyDelete
  11. CODE, an infamous alt alliance built around suicide-ganking miners and haulers in highsec, did very little practicing and were short on players for their team.

    When the Catalyst and Talos were banned by RvB, the CODE team captain Khoda Khan found himself out of ideas for a fleet composition, and logged out of the game, along with the few team members available. With nobody on the field to fight, Red vs Blue was awarded a by without firing a shot.

    Winner: Red vs Blue (Default)

    1. You know, instead of running away like pussies, code SHOULD have fielded fully tanked procurers and used drones. Now THAT would have been trolling the tournament, not to mention funny as hell. If code did that, then I would have gladly gave them a tip of the hat for an excellent troll. But, alas, they turned tail and ran for their logoff buttons.

    3. and can many gank alts can fly a Procurer?

      My code ganker can fly 2 ships, Cata's and Talos, and since AT participation was based on being a member in April, you couldn't bring a skilled pilot in.

      RvB knew that code are elite Cata and Talos pilots and were afraid to face them... true story, and Code didn't care anyway, AT is like world of tanks in space, also true story.

  28. Grrr Code when an illegal operator is popped without the warnings or chance to pay for a permit the carebears say they would have complied with.

    Grrr Code when an illegal is popped after those warnings are given and the illegal predictably insults and doesn't comply.

    This demonstrates the contradictory nature of the carebear (damned by them if you do, damned by them if you don't), and also (when warnings are given) their lying that they "would pay if given warning".

  36. Everyone keeps blabbing about AT. Simply put, none of the active gankers in CODE. really care. We will still keep ganking. AT was just something to do and most of us would rather just keep ganking. Others would say: that means CODE. Is afraid of pvp. Our kill boards show otherwise. Meet almost any of us in lowsec, we will fight and win.
