Showdown in Juddi, Part 1


Important news from the front: The New Order scored a big win in the Juddi system!


The dashing Agent Kalorned launched a daring forray into an asteroid belt, where he came upon an unlicensed Mackinaw. The pilot in question, The Roak, was able to prove that he was not AFK. This was a good sign, since miners are much more likely to pay their dues if they're at the keyboard.


But it's not good enough to be at your keyboard when an Agent asks you a question. You need to remain at your keyboard for the full length of the conversation. Compounding his rudeness with a Code violation, The Roak went silent immediately after being asked to purchase a permit. His remarkably fail-fit Mackinaw was bound to die. (Yes, that is a Tracking Enhancer in the lowslot.)


Death was just the incentive The Roak needed to return to his keyboard. Though podded, he remained in the same system.


Perhaps laying the groundwork for a reimbursement claim, The Roak exaggerated his loss. The implants were worth only one billion isk. And to be honest, as a miner, he really didn't need most of those anyway. You'd think he would know better after spending more than five years mining in highsec.


Half a decade is plenty of time to pick up a few bad habits and pieces of misinformation. Somewhere down the line, The Roak got the impression that Juddi was a free system. (Or more precisely, a "fucking free system".)


As the Agent on the spot, it was up to Kalorned to share the good news. Juddi was better than free--it was a New Order system. Now The Roak would have the chance to follow a set of rules, rather than sitting around mining all day with no idea what to do.


Kalorned knew well what the pre-Order gankers did not: Winning the peace is much more difficult than winning the war. Kalorned earned his stripes as an elite PvP'er with his ingenious use of Catalyst alts in the Battle of Juddi. The winning of the battle was brilliant; Kalorned accomplished his mission to remove The Roak's Mackinaw from the asteroid belt. Now what?


Introducing the Code had the desired effect. The Roak was somewhat pacified. However, The Roak did not yet accept responsibility for starting the war. He gave a bunch of excuses for not responding, claiming that he'd been busy looking up Kalorned's profile.


Kalorned is the CEO and sole member of Psychedelic Llamas, a corporation loyal to the New Order. If The Roak really did spend his time looking up Kalorned's info, he should've immediately recognized that Kalorned was trustworthy.


The Roak disputed Kalorned's official report of the circumstances surrounding the gank. The Roak believed he was given only 2 seconds to reply after the permit request, while Kalorned estimated it was closer to 2 minutes.


Kalorned reviewed the timestamp evidence. It confirmed he had been well within his rights to call in the airstrike. It wasn't even close; it was a slam-dunk. Would The Roak admit his guilt?


In fact, the carebear's mental state began to deteriorate. It was a symptom Kalorned knew well and recognized immediately: The Roak was rejecting the Code. Things could go either way. The next few minutes would be critical for the Juddi system.

To be continued...

    I'm on pins and needles waiting to see what happens next. Does it take multiple poddings for the Roak to see the light?

    3. No..the real Veers will never fight a war. He drops his corp the minute he gets deced and reforms it seconds later. The real Veers is a coward afraid of emergent game play Eve so readily offers. The real Veers will never step up to the and earn the esteem he so holds himself to in his delusional mind. The real Veers is a Star Wars character that actually had the balls to stand for what he believed...so Veers, either balls up, or shut up.

    6. It would not be a fair fight against a miner....I suggest you stop mining and take up mission running. And bro, you don't have enough credibility to defame me. As James put it:

      I will gladly fight a duel with anyone, any time, anywhere. It doesn't matter what ship you bring; I will always win. Of course, it's a waste of my time unless I am fighting a worthy opponent. To demonstrate your honour, you must pass one of the following three tests...inter alia....Test of Wisdom. Correctly answer the Supreme Protector's Questions Three. Each question must be answered within 20 seconds. The Questions Three will be different for each miner each day. Note that invoking the 24 hour mining pass provision of the Code is distinct from invoking the Test of Wisdom.

      Since as a miner you have no hope of answering the three questions we can just declare the test over - failed. ggwp.

      Veers Belver my brother never said he didn't agree with your game play. If you want to do incursions all day long, we have no problems with that.
      But do not think that miners cant do other stuff in eve. We manic miners, have learned to be miners yes, but are also veterans of living in wh space, pve lv4 runners. And many other aspects to eve. Including the skill of ganking via the New Order.
      So why don't you take the offer of the youngest toon in 315 miners to pvp? Like my brother said the winner takes it all, the one that losses , ccp locks the account.
      And if you still want to spout on about your not prepared to fight an unworthy miner, lets have ccp decide if they are happy for a pvp to take place, with the account of the loser to be locked.
      I am happy to propose to ccp that it takes place.
      So lets get it on, or have the EVE universe know what colour you are. ( Me and the manic miners think that colours YELLOW)

      Delete
    12. I appreciate the offer, but as someone on par with James 315 I simply cannot demean myself to accept 1v1 combat with miners (or anyone else) without them passing the 3 part test of knowledge, which is essentially impossible for anyone other than James and myself.

  14. I thought this post of mine on the Eve Forums was well stated.

    "As far as CODE being a "business" that is really laughable. They get 400 billion isk in investment (with no business plan), and decide to use the money to blow up ships and cause tears. They often do this at a significant loss. In fact, they have already lost hundreds of billions of isk in the process, and have no hope of EVER recovering the funds expended, or of EVER really turning a meaningful profit. Their business would be similar to the following: Start a company dedicated to smashing up cars unless each car gives you 3 cents per year. Raise $300 million, use it buy $300 million of hammers. Have people throw the hammers against any cars that wont pay the 3 cents - oh and the guys smashing the cars get to keep the 3 cents. So the company literally has no income except for asking for yet more "investment."

    It's like calling Burn Jita a "business." Businesses don't operate at a loss without any hope of ever turning a profit - they just shut down. What it is really about, as can be seen from CODE bios and from their website is "tear collection." It's about blowing up people's ships to make them angry, humiliating them, and then posting the ensuing "hilarity" to the CODE website where it can entertain immature people who derive pleasure from inflicting pain and misery and others. Which is exactly what CODE supporter, and noted isk doubler, Erotica 1 did prior to CCP taking action against him for humiliating people. It's not a business, it's all about tears, pain, and twisted sadism, which is exactly why they blow up empty ships to make people cry, as the OP so ably noted. They have the right to do this in Eve (against my better judgement), but it doesn't mean that CCP should not adjust the game mechanics to make it more painful for the CODE folks to operate at -10 security status and farm tears."

    1. Any business owner would be envious. The employees don't ask the company for any wages, but earn on their own via permit sales. The company provides a generous ship replacement service for actions during company approved activities. This SRP is funded by shareholders with zero accounting waste. Oh yes, and profit. The company profits via loot drops and salvage, which it rolls back into the business.

      The New Order is a growth company still.

    1. Let's play devil's advocate here; the Code by itself doesn't seem sufficient to understand the New Order's ideals. I, myself, had read the Code many times over and although I could agree that being AFK in highsec wasn't a great thing outside of a station/POS, I didn't fully realize what the New Order was up to. With just the Code to go by, it made me wonder why the Order was so hell bent on ganking freighters. They're not miners. Sure, they're sometimes autopiloting but what about the afk ISboxers out there? Aren't they more harmful?

      Then I read the manifesto that James 315 set out, as well as that recently linked thread; and although I won't say I fully agree with everything that the New Order does or all of James' points I did get to see that many Carebears are not only not interested in PvPing - which is fine - but they're advocating a position completely opposite to what the game is supposed to be. I started playing this game because my normal job doesn't let me think much. It's mindless. A game described as being so complicated it can drive you insane was appealing to me. What CODE. and it's allies do isn't so terribly bad and gamebreaking; in fact, putting a little bit of thought and time in to things, I've effectively found a counter to most of their known tactics (though CODE. has shown a willingness to adapt when the need arises, but that's the game for you). Rather than running around going "CCPlease Nerf!" I've figured out how to protect my ships from highsec ganks (yes, even the "We'll bump you for 15 minutes until our timers run out to have a second go at you" idea that Veers hates. It's stupid simple to make sure you're not there for the second pass). Many of CODE's critics, though, would rather run to CCP and ask for nerfs; this is not illustrated in the Code itself, and thus the scope of the problem is not apparent from just reading the Code.

      As such it may be helpful to provide more prominent links to WHY the New Order does what it does. The Code is good; but I do not believe that it is adequate at explaining the New Order's motivations.

  17. Just so I'm clear, it's entirely possible to save your pod if you know what you're doing, right? You're a dirty non compliant miner, but you're at least at your keyboard. You see your ship starting to die. If you select a station in the overview and spam the warp button, your pod should warp off to safety once you pop?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, though generally you don't want to warp to a station as there can be a delay between hitting the station and docking. Usually the best idea is to warp to a celestial and bounce off of it to an instadock at the station. This is also true for the ganker, with the added note that they'll need to burn off their one minute aggression timer before they're allowed to dock (when you PvP a lot you get used to having to do that, unless you're in nullsec in which case you get used to popping out your implants before you die because your ship is exploding in a bubble and thus your pod isn't going to get out)

  20. Eve isn't a PvP game, it's a tycoon simulator, nearly everything in Eve is all about the ISK. Including most of the so-called PvP. The self-proclaimed "elite PvPers" aren't PvPers, they're gank farmers who measure their worth in ISK. It's not about who you killed, what he was flying or how good he was, it's all about the ISK value in the kill-mail. Just another farmer.

    1. Well, which is it.... tycoon simulator or farming? I would wager that all in Eve is about RISK. Lazy people mine and in an attempt to make ISK the safe way AKA the boring way. Then there are those who wish a more direct conflict but not only for profit, but also for the tears and excitement. When ever you are in conflict with another player, it IS PvP (Player versus player). It works, since there are predators and prey. Prey grazes lazily to fill it's stomach, while the predator.... well.. you know :)
