The Simela Archives

There are some systems in highsec that almost everyone knows about: Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Hek, etc. They're well known because they're trade hubs that hundreds of thousands of EVE players use. But there are also highsec systems that became well known because they were the site of famous New Order victories--systems like Halaima, Uedama, Kino, and Gamis. Those systems were not noteworthy in and of themselves, but they became special because someone cared enough about them to enforce the Code there.


There are a lot of so-called "backwater" systems in highsec. Consider Simela and its environs. You've probably never been there. Most likely, you weren't even aware of its existence. Nevertheless, highsec is so crowded that even a distant corner such as this is populated by miners. Unfortunately, some miners think obscurity is security. They think that they don't need to follow the Code because no one has heard of the place where they mine. They're highsec hipsters.


That's where our Agents come in. People like V-ktor Dolus believe in the value of good, honest work. They travel to the quiet little systems and remind the miners that they live in New Order territory--that the Code is their Code, too. V-ktor recently took a trip down memory lane, reaching into his EVEmail inbox to chart the slow advance of civilization in Simela and the surrounding area.


Miners like PieRatt were rough around the edges. They didn't know how to act when an Agent of the New Order came to town. In the span of a few minutes, PieRatt wrote a tearmail, thought better of it, and then wrote another.


And another, and another. That's how primitive life is in some places--they don't even know how to cry properly.


Hatemail is only the beginning of a conversation. They're cries for help. No one who knows how to play EVE properly is going to write you an EVEmail like Prince Chelien's. So V-ktor told the Prince that his ship wasn't fit properly. V-ktor's honesty was rewarded:


As you can see, even someone who initially hates the Code can learn to respect our Agents. Why? Because they're the only people who bother help miners learn how to play the game.


Pennelope Maricadie loves to brag. When someone else does something impressive, she always has to one-up them. For example, V-ktor ganked her mining ship. Pennelope said she would destroy all of his ships. V-ktor brought her back to reality by reminding her that her threats were empty. Here's how she answered:


Pennelope was stuck in her own little world, not accepting the Code-fueled reality that the rest of us live in.


Then there are the miners who admit to being curious. Good. Here's the problem, though: It's hard to find the answers you need, if you don't know the right questions to ask.


Be on your guard when a miner says, "I'm not mad or anything, BUT..." That means he's mad. Also, if a miner says, "I'm not mad," that means he's mad. Likewise, if an anonymous critic of the New Order says he's not a miner and has never been ganked by us, he's a miner who's been ganked by us.


The journey continues. The more remote the location, the more miners you'll discover who are rough around the edges. Only with the utmost patience and dedication are they hewn into my image. Which makes it all the more rewarding in the end. Do you have what it takes to save highsec?

    1. Fills out another square on the anti-gank bingo card.

    2. There isn't an anti-gank bingo card because the anti-gankers are, as usual, waiting for somebody else to do the actual work of making one.

    3. It'd be pretty hilarious if Held made one. I'd be curious to see what he'd put on it.

    4. Given how much we win, "The Code ALWAYS wins!!!! ALWAYS!!!!" would have to be the center square.

    5. When code gets mad at the miners for doing to them what code does to miners, perhaps code should look into what they do instead of what the miners do.

      Never going to happen, it would require them to A: Organise, and B: Actually play the game.

  2. A tremendous treasure trove of tears.

    1. I look forward to seeing more. Despite what the article says, Simela is not exactly just a backwater highsec system - maybe some Miners picked it because it appeared to be, but it's not. You see, Simela has three Sisters of Eve Security Agents - Levels 1-3 in fact - so if you eventually want to run SOE Level 4s it's a very tempting place to start out, as you can mission there until you finally have Level 4 standings and then head off to Osmon or wherever. So there's probably a lot of carebears out there trying to up their SOE standings that probably have never PvP'd before.

  3. Ming, so who am I, have I done all posts you say I have?
    I know that you are not anonymous on Internet so please tell me who I am.
    We can help you with your rage, just quit playing and you might be a good person someday.

    1. I can't tell you who you are. Only you can do that.
      The Code can help. It can be found at the top of this page.
      Happy I could help.

      Love, Ming

    2. So another lie from the Code Manson family then.
      Playing EVE and hunting for rage will not help you get calm, that's just an illusion.
      Didn't your psychiatrists mention that?
      You seems to be unhealthy obsessed with your fake donation to the fake Code so you should really seek help before you go out and do something more evil than you already do.
      Call your psychiatrists today before you have to change your panties for the second time today.

    3. your obsession with Mings underwear is a little odd to say the least anon

      Delete
    4. Merrizon, dirty underwear just because they soil themself is something that indicates a person in need of help so that's why.
      Your obsession that Code is the best thing is much more weird than anything else.
      Maybe you should make a phone call so you too get help before it's to late?

    5. Its every reply

      Manson, panties, Ming

    6. Why so angry Ming?

    7. Im on the fence about something. I see one of two things, either ming and maria are the same person, or they simply are in love with each other. The talk the same, defend each other, heck i think they should get a room and just get it over with.

      Delete
    8. Like Mings supposedly dirty underwear anon is just throwing things out and hoping something sticks. it's trolling with no structure or thought. You need to up your game anon

  4. Quit lying ming, the code was never meant to help anyone except gankers, it was designed to enrage people so you code monkies could get your lols...

    1. "Be on your guard when a CHODE. says they win at pvp That means they lost.
      Also is a CHODE. says they own highsec they really don't.
      Likewise if a CHODE. says miner calm down or CHODE. always whines they are sad and stupid and unable to come up with anything new." and inb4 CHODE. starts claiming they won the Worlds Collide tournament.

    2. When all the miners can do is mimic the slogans of language of The Code, it's clear that a cultural victory has been achieved. Soon, the miners will be wearing our blue jeans and listening to our rock n roll.

    3. Sorry did you say something I could not here you over the sound of all this ice I am afk mining in Halaima right now yet still see no sign of Chode. guess they are not everywhere always like they claim.

      Delete
    4. Does anyone else hear chode anon saying 'chode' in a slightly downsy voice. Like he is not even mispelling it on purpose, but he sounds like that irl?

      Delete
    5. Oh look a personal attack from CHODE. guess you are not any better than a bot miner after all.

      Delete
    6. Obsessed, raging anon trolls seem to be at an all time high yet they claim the Code is irrelevant. I'm getting mixed signals here. The sooner you stop frothing at the mouth long enough to realize that the Code is driven solely by love of high sec, the game, and it's many lost souls, the sooner you can calm down, miner. And yes, love always prevails (read: the Code always wins) <3

    8. Trathen, do you need a name of a good psychiatrists?
      You seems unhealthy obsessed with a game made by a company that love players raging against each others.
      But it's never to late to get help you know...

      Delete
    9. Trathen, you are confusing the telling of the truth (something this site and the new order in general are strangers to) with raging...maybe you need to go back to school and learn what the differences are...

      Delete
    10. You are both very bad at reading people, including yourselves.

    11. They teach the code in schools now? the new order really is making waves

  7. Maybe I should go rally the rebels there

  10. I agree, the code carebears never do seem to change.
