Customer Service by the Code, Part 1

A lot of people have misconceptions about the New Order. They see us as a bunch of bloodthirsty rogues who do nothing but spread misery by blowing up defenseless ships.


In reality, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The New Order spends only a fraction of its time engaged in combat. Much of our time is spent engaged in customer service.


After all, it's not always easy to rebuild what has been torn down. When our Agents destroy your ships, you'll need someone to help you pick up the pieces. Who better than our Agents? I mean, they're right there. They have to wait out the 15-minute GCC timer.


Agent Tisiphone Dira ganked an autopiloting pod owned by Kali A'mar. The pod contained over 160 million isk worth of implants. Everyone knows it's silly to autopilot in a pod. Someone would need to be in a state of severe distress or confusion to do such a thing. Tisiphone was concerned for Kali, so she reached out.


Tisiphone brought the carebear up to speed about the rules concerning travel in highsec. Kali, who had some peculiar ideas about what makes a legal system legitimate, dismissively ignored Tisiphone's expertise.


It soon became clear that Kali wasn't interested in being molded into a proper, Code-compliant citizen of highsec. Frankly, she sounded a bit like a rebel--one of those crazy anti-Order types you sometimes hear about.


Kali attempted to downplay Tisiphone's big win by saying it wasn't honourable for a Thrasher to kill a pod. A Thrasher should kill other Thrashers, she said. By that logic, it's only honourable to kill a pod with another pod. If people went along with Kali's ideas, it would mean pods are 100% safe in highsec. Bot-aspirancy ahoy!


Kali demanded to see proof of the New Order's ability to exercise control over highsec. It was courteously provided by our Agent.


Another common misconception held by rebels is that obeying the Code won't increase your chances of survival in highsec. Rebels don't believe this because they've actually witnessed Code-compliant miners ganked by our Agents; they haven't. Rebels believe it because it excuses them from paying 10 million isk and recognizing the reality of a multiplayer environment with emergent gameplay. They'd much prefer to indulge in their delusions of a safe highsec where they only need to obey game mechanics. Bot-aspirants claim they mine to "relax", but this form of relaxation requires them to exercise total control over their activity. Being forced to obey another player ruins it for them.

Nevertheless, rational people cannot deny that obeying the Code will help you avoid being ganked. If Kali had only followed the Code, she wouldn't have been autopiloting in a pod. Does anyone doubt this would've saved her implants?


It was precisely as you'd expect: Kali refused to accept the fact that EVE's multiplayer environment forces players to adapt to the actions of other players--even in highsec.


Another sign of progress: More and more gank recipients demonstrate a surprising level of familiarity with the provisions of the Code--even if they only understand them on a superficial level. Kali, a random autopiloter, already knew the story of how I came to rule highsec.


Tisiphone took some time to explain to Kali why my election was part of a perfectly democratic process. She didn't get it. But maybe she would pay anyway, out of self-preservation.


No deal. At least, not yet. On the bright side, Kali was totally calm. Perhaps Tisiphone could still reason with her.

    4. The Phrases "Calm Down, Miner™," "Miner, Calm Down™," and "The Code ALWAYS Wins!!!! ALWAYS!!!!" are exempted from being considered "repeating" ourselves, because they are the preferred tools of the New Order to curb the crazed, emotional outbursts of bot-aspirants who are upset or angry with the terms of the Code. We Agents are authorized for this exemption due to our superior pedigree and position of power compared with that of the lowly carebear.

      So, please, "Calm down, miner™."

    6. And of course, more ineptitude and illiteracy from lower-quality humans. Compared with the brilliance of following the Code, it is easy to highlight the glorious nature of New Order Agents, and those who follow the Code, as opposed to the violent, squalid, and "delusional" carebear mentality.

      So yes, it is necessary for you to "Calm down, Miner™"

    8. "Calm down, ganker", "gankbear", "code bingo", Held's whole thing...it's flattering seeing how frequently carebears feel that the only way they might have a hope of effectively opposing us, is by copying our methods.

      Well, that's the generous interpretation. The less-generous interpretation is that carebears are so creatively sterile that the only creativity they are capable of is derivative; no new slogans or memes of their own, just simple word substitutions of ganker memes.

    1. Anon 8:46, your logic is flawed because the New Order does not prey on miners - they simply police them. If they were actually trying to prey on the miners, why would they offer 1-year mining permits for the low price of 10m ISK?

      Using nature as an example once more, I would say that the new order is like a Border Collie rounding up the sheep.

    5. If you'll notice, racism is something that only is spewed from the mouth of carebears. Not a single Agent of the New Order would ever stoop so low as to call someone out on the color of their skin. It is an important comparison to make, when deciding which side of this titanic battle that "the common man" should be on.

    6. Anon@6:12, loaylanon makes the statement about a food chain, it identifies where miner are in that food chain, I know his record of ganking miners, hence he ( and the whole new order ) are bottom feeders, there is nothing wrong with the logic until your new order arrogance got involved...

    8. @Anon5:47
      Mining, by its very nature, is an abhorrent profession. I don't know a single "person" who disagrees. Since the New Order cannot fully stop carebears from mining until they come under the protection of the Code, enforcement is necessary to ensure that they are forced to abide by the Code.

      Anyone miner who doesn't follow the Code absolutely deserves to be "put down."

      @Anon5:44
      When you refer to "bottom feeders," I believe you mean "those that are nurtured by the lowest of sustenance." "Mining," by anyone's definition, is the most boring, mind numbing, profitless, boorish, stupefying, insanity-producing activity that there is. It produces individuals of poor quality, reading comprehension, spelling, high reactivity, and inability to act. In short, mining makes what would normally be "humans" into "food."

      Since mining is the worst of all activities, those who do it could be considerd to be "bottom feeders." Those that destroy these abominations for the good of everyone are considered to be "Heroes of the New Order."

      I hope this clarifies your misunderstanding.

  6. This carebear doesn't seem calm. One of the things I will be doing as Supreme Commander of Highsec is to help correct this sort of behaviour. I think we can all agree that there is no room in Highsec for this sort of language whether the New Order is in charge or the democracy created by the Heroes of Highsec. I'd love to have Kali in my rebel movement, but we will have to wash out that mouth first.

  8. I see that many of so called knight of the New Orders are faking and not following the Code of Conduct by heart. For example, mr. loyalanon stated that "they are superior to miners" and that "miners are bottom of food chain".

    Poor mr. loyalanon forgot that we are just a humble servants in the holy quest of liberating miners from their chains of repetative tasks. We don't eat miners, we help them. In the moment of honesty that man revealed that he forgot what is his purpose of existence.

    It seems perversion is gotten inside ranks of agents. I suggest miners start questioning any agent he encounters close to make sure that agents understands what CODE is all about and don't just throw money to unworthy ones.

    12. You seem to have misunderstood what our Agents say, WhoreAnon (hope you don't mind Ming, I figure he can be RetardAnon to you and WhoreAnon to me). We don't say "as long as you role play you can do anything, nothing will ever hurt someone in real life anyway". For starters, we don't say "you can do anything", we say "you can do anything, so long as it is consistent with the Code" (which requires people to be polite, and specifically to be civil when addressing Agents). You, friend, are not acting in a manner consistent with the Code, and are thus behaving incorrectly. I do hope that now that you can see the error of your ways, you'll start behaving with a little more dignity.

    14. It is not your rules that are important, WhoreAnon. Your rules are self-imposed, with no moral or legal force. James' rules were established by the democratically-elected Father of Highsec, and have the same moral backing that all governments' laws do (they are enforced by lots of people with lots of guns). For you to place your own, insignificant little rules above the Law of Highsec is antisocial in the extreme...one might even say, sociopathic.

      The thing that you miss, Anon, is that James was actually forced to act as your proxy in order for you to even be able to cast a vote in your own best interest. Because, alone, left to your own devices, it is obvious that you would rather choose to destroy yourself, as well as innocent people, people who loved you, and people that didn't even know you.

      The carebear is a very destructive individual in need of serious reform. Only James 315 and the Code is capable of bringing you that reform. And to do that, he was forced to take your vote and cast in your best interest. I know you believe that this isn't the case, but neither James 315 or The Code care what you think. You simply aren't capable of rational thought, as your posts make evident.

      The best way to get through this is quit your resistance, find an Agent, buy a permit, and live out the rest of your days Code-Compliant. I'm afraid that is literally the only option you have.

      You've only scratched the surfaced of my post and didn't got the point. It's not about just money. Buying permit at very core is an act of submission and accepting authority. By accepting authority of fake, perversive "agents" miner is under serious risk to consider CODE as some form of bulying and extortion. Read CODE again. It's primary goal - do all possible for a new follower to let CODE into their hearts, not just formaly take submission.

      And there is nothing shameful in being miner if you are true to teaching of Our Saviour. Read CODE again. Saviour invites everyone to become follower - be it bittervet PvPer or industrialist.

    34. @True2CODE
      Do not presume to "lecture" me on what The Code does or does not require. At it's core, The Code clearly states that it requires all residents of Highsec to purchase and own a New Order Mining Permit, at a price of 10 million isk, which is good for one year, subject to for forfeiture, if the permittee is found to be violating the Code. That's it.

      These are the instructions, handed down by our Saviour, to our Agents- and anyone who professes and practices these instructions can be said to be an "Agent of the New Order," which absolutely destroys your argument about there being "fake" or "perversive" Agents.

      Let's put it this way; if you are dealing with an Agent of the New Order that you believe isn't a genuine New Order Agent, well, there are several True Agents of the New Order in the channel "Minerbumping" that anyone at any time could convo, and ask for clarification. And as a side note, what exactly are you implying that these "fake" agents do? Are you implying that the permits they issue aren't genuine?

      Regardless, once a permit is issued and the Code followed, it is the responsibility of the Compliant Miner to accept the Code into its heart without further action from the Agent, unless the Agent deems it necessary. "Actively doing things yourself" is part of what New Order Agents have to teach to miners to counter the years of bot-aspirancy and helplessness that miners seem to propagate with their chosen career.

    1. Amusing, but Veers already tried this approach, "True2CODE". He initially approached us as a "Code supporter" who just thought "Code has lost its way" (he didn't think the provisions of the Code should apply to him, and he though we should limit ourselves exclusively to bumping miners). Attempting to foment hostility between Agents by declaring some to be corrupted and others to be good Agents is a new variation, but it's pretty transparent. In all it's a decent attempt at meta-gaming, but please, you can do better than this. The name is too obvious, you've come in out of nowhere acting as if you're a familiar face on minerbumping, and as Ming points out you treat the costs of the mining permits as if they mattered (caring about money is a dead giveaway of a carebear).

      I look forward to seeing your future attempts, "True2CODE". Perhaps make a ganker alt, and try to gain our trust by going on a couple ganking fleets?

      Maam, you and your alikes own no exclusive right to usurp teching of the Saviour. There are many of those who respect and follow the Code of Conduct. Some of us are wise enough to understand that the less hostility you show to miners in question, the more chances to convert them to righteous path.

      I see lots of suspicious and projections of potentialy your own behavioural models, Maria. Instead of basking in paranoia you should think of what huge potential of CODE reputation we are losing because of these baboons pretending to be noble knights.

    6. Well of course, that much was obvious the moment he began criticizing true Agents of the Code (and loyalanon, of all people!). But I was curious as to whether this dishonest miner could be goaded into creating and using a ganking alt, in order to further the fiction begun here. Some people have begun by supporting the Code in bad faith, planning to betray it, but in the end been converted by the purity and beauty of the Code. A carebear with enough initiative to attempt metagaming, is a carebear who may end up becoming a Code supporter.

  10. CODE agents are worse than "carebears" xD I have even mailed a screenshot of a CODE agent who lost it in local, because she got destroyed, but that didnt end up here on the website, i wonder why? I have made a couple of code agents cry, cause i make them fail ganks. You make my mining more fun. It's fun to see you fail over and over again :) "The code always win" No it dont. You win against noobs, you lose against more experienced miners like me. We are educating new bros everyday, how to counter you. And the worst thing about you is, that i never ever get a "gf" when blow up your ship with my procure. Only crying and excuses when you get blown up by a mining barge.

    1. You have to remember what code stands for Anon @11:28 pm. Chicken Out, Deny Everything. Of course even when a code agent screws up a gank and fails they wont admit it. When a code agent gets upset and rages on in local they wont admit it. It would make them look worse then they are. I would love to see them post their failures, but we all know that liars dont show their failures. At least we have the poster child of failures in ming on here.
