Most share purchases take place in smaller amounts, bundles of 10 or 50 or 150. The people who buy shares like this are used to good ol' fashioned hard work. They're salt-of-the earth folks. We celebrate their efforts. They're the backbone of highsec, and we want to make empire space better for them and their families.
Nevertheless, the highsec community has a fascination with the high-rollers, the shareholders who throw around the big bucks. These are the people who maneuver for the top shareholder spots and hold secret conversations in smoke-filled cloakrooms (that's a room where people go while they're AFK cloaking).
In our previous shareholder update, Bing Bangboom got knocked out of the top 10. He took notice, purchasing an additional 1,500 shares. This sent us over the 583 billion isk mark and earned him a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™--while securing his position in the top 10. PV Rock was bumped out of the top 10. Bing loves to bump!
Meanwhile, Mark Eting purchased an additional 315 shares. This sent us over the 584 billion isk mark and earned him a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™. Not too shabby.
This is where things get really interesting. Unbeknownst to Bing, Matrea D purchased an astonishing 7,500 additional shares. Matrea, a savvy industrialist, recognized early on that the future of highsec industry is Code-compliance, so she updated her corp permits, as well. Her share purchase sent us over the 585, 586, 587, 588, 589, 590, and 591 billion isk marks and earned her a coveted Septuple Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.
With a total of 16,000 shares to her name, Matrea is now the fifth biggest shareholder in the New Order. Top five, baby! At the same time, she knocked a bunch of other shareholders down a rank. But you can't keep a good Bing down. Though he couldn't have anticipated Matrea's big move, his purchase was enough to vault him over two shareholders, not just PV Rock. Thus, Bing maintains an uneasy grip on position #10.
Exciting stuff!
Uneasy grip, indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis, will not stand.
Oh noes!!! Ming has been bumped out of the top ten! *gives ming a hug* Ming, to encourage you i challenge you to donate 15 billion more to get back into the top 10, you can do it! I have faith in you ming!! now go! Donate!
Delete-=M=-
oh ming, i revise that, instead of 15,000 shares, do 15,001. That will push you to the #3 spot man!!

ReplyDeleteTired of what? Hearing the truth of how code. is nothing more then a scam organization. I should know after all...
I'm not a miner! I'm an agent of the New Order of Hitler. Bow to your superior.
ReplyDeleteHas the comments section now been completely overrun by fake Mings?
ReplyDeleteCode ALWAYS loses!!! ALWAYS!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL at this thread. >.> How do you do it Ming? All the tears seems to gravitate towards you for some reason :D
ReplyDelete~ Asia Leigh
I see no tears except yours fake Asia
Deletenot tears. it seems to me it's at the very least deep dislike,maybe even hatred.
ReplyDeletehardly what you would call tears when someone can cause those reactions in people over a game
it's all very sad really.
Real Ming here.
ReplyDeleteThese Miners are saying I referenced "Hitler" or "Nazism" as if I was somehow advocating that position. This couldn't be further from the truth.
What I actually said that has all the miners in a tizzy is that the Nazi methodology was terribly flawed, and had they just gone around and sold permits for the equivalent of literally two cents of value, like the New Order does, in lieu of execution, then it seems like that would have been a much better "Final Solution." Because then nobody would have had to die. It literally would have been "Permit or Death," with everyone choosing "permit." Germany could have achieved 100% Code-compliance within the span of only a couple of months. And then they would have laid down their arms, and peace would have ruled the land, instead of the horror of World War II.
Do not mistake me. The Nazis were abhorrent, and the world is better off without them. But had they followed the Code, it is likely that they might have avoided such a fate.
Real Ming here.
DeleteAs co-leader of the New Order of Hitler, I hereby decree that fake Ming at 10:27 is sub human and will be dealt with according to the provision of the New Order's Final Solution.
The code and the new order are abhorrent...Like the Nazi's they are trying to force there will on others that they have no right to force their will on...
DeleteReal Ming here.
DeleteI am going to have to take a break from my super elite pvp against unarmed ships so I can spend more time giving head to homeless meth addicts to raise money to support the Nazi cause.
ming stop back peddaling,.what you did was call people "subhuman" why are you suprised at the reaction you got?
Deletethere is something wrong with anyone who thinks that is ok .
and now you are trying to make light by calling people "it " instead, when we all know what you really mean.
you code people go too far it's not roleplay it's sick.
Ming Tso is actually worse than that anon 3:20 when you get the whole picture.
DeleteWhat he did was take a small group (or demographic) IN A VIDEO GAME and used that as justification to cast them all as being subhuman IN REAL LIFE.
He then espoused how these "subhumans" either need to be converted (similar to the Nazis and homosexuals, see Dr. Carl Vaernet for example) or be eradicated. We all know that particular part of Nazi history right? Ming Tso does all of this whilst volunteering to spend his free time supporting the group that named themselves after the Nazi political ideals i.e. the New Order.
Ming Tso even tried the ridiculous argument of claiming that because he has not exterminated millions of people, he can't possibly hold Nazi values and ideals close to his heart (yes he really did try this, it's in this site's comments). Naturally, his other defence (and that of other Nazi sympathizers) is that any mention of the Nazis or any highlighting of similarities is a disgusting act and highly offensive, regardless of how accurate it is. You'll see Jihad Alhariri below trying to trivialise and equate all similarities with Nazism to always being an adhominem attack.
If ever there was a clear cut case, this is it.
TLDR version - bumping people in a video game makes you a nazi.
Delete@Anon10:07
DeleteMy, my. It looks like we have some scholars of Nazi history in this channel. One stands to wonder why they are so versed in Nazi history or their heroes.
But Again, as an Agent of the New Order, it is not my will for you, or anyone for that matter to be "subhuman." I wish it weren't true. I wish all that lived in highsec were of standard quality, and I wish we could change those that weren't. Unfortunately, as powerful as the New Order is, we admit that sometimes, we are indeed powerless to change this status.
But you, the miner, aren't.
You can understand what the New Order is all about. You can "get" the New Order. You can understand that we are not advocates of the Nazi ideology. All it takes is 10 million isk donated to any New Order Agent- and better yet not mining.
When you stop being a highsec carebear, you start being a human of a higher quality. You learn about giving. You learn about loving. You learn about "letting go." Conversely, When you do not, you are someone who only cares about wealth, and violently ravages about, spewing profane words, trying to censor freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition, and attempt to have people sent to prison camps.
This isn't just me making this up. This is EVE history.
The world fought and defeated the Nazis because they were subhuman individuals. We will do it again. And we will continue to do it until we have converted all of the subhumans (highsec carebears) to full-human status.
Miners are so desperate to believe that their betters in a video game are monsters in real life that they'll eagerly abuse the memory of real tragedies to score imaginary points in a video game. Sad, sad, sad.
DeleteMiners, please calm down. If you dislike us for our actions in a video game, please try to contain your vitriol to how our actions in a video game make us "bad guys" in a video game. When you start trying to say that we support real-life genocide because we blew up your mining barge, you look a little crazy. More than a little. You're actually looking super crazy right now.
@Ming Tso
DeleteYour words are merely adding more evidence as to your ideals and how they align with Nazi ideals. Not much more to say to your "main" as all is crystal clear. As to your alter ego...
@ Bot Aspirant Maria Malukker. Going on about video games, points, memory, tragedies etc. is truly silly given that you are the ones who use a video game to justify real life ideals by "converting subhumans" or eradicating them.
That you think actual real world neo-Nazism is fine but apparently find any comparison of Nazism revolting, regardless of it's veracity tells us more about you then you'll ever admit.
Ming Tso's & Maria Malukker's logic: Real world neo-Nazism justified by a video game is 100% fine but don't ever compare anything to Nazism, no matter how closely they match each other, because that's disgusting.
Um...you do understand that we neither kill, nor support killing, people in real life, right? Only in video games. It's baffling that the distinction between the two seems lost on you. When someone takes a pawn in chess, do you also accuse them of supporting pawn-genocide?
Delete@Anon1:23
DeletePlease refer me to the statement where I explicitly wished "real-life death" on any individual, subhuman or otherwise. Or where i ever advocated "Nazism."
And after you are done scanning your logs and are unable to find this reference, then please apologize for being wrong, pledge loyalty to James 315, pay 10 million isk for a permit, and give me a "GF."
Just because you can't tell the difference between comparisons that contrast, as opposed to those that show likeness, doesn't mean that's my problem. I think that the Code is a better way to go about governing subhuman carebears than Fascism, just like you would probably think that democracy would be a better way to govern subhuman carebears than Fascism.
Maybe you're telling me that you'd rather that the New Order use Fascism as our motivation rather than The Code?? That we should give up our practice of selling permits and just start killing people wholesale??
Because i'll tell you one thing, mister.
Fascism needlessly forced millions of people to their deaths. The Code gives miners a chance to live and change their ways. That's why the New Order will ALWAYS be greater than the Third Reich. And this is why you should be glad we're the ones who rule over you. Because we're the "good guys." We give you a chance.
face it ming you let slip your true nature and now everyone knows you for what you are.
Deleteyou use words like"comparison" and "contrast" to try and deflect people from the real intent behind your words, the very fact you even said what you said in the first place speaks volumes.
the point is you have expressed an idealism that is based in the same idealism that led to genocide and it's an idealism you seem to enjoy.
yes this is a game and should be treated as such it needs no "contrast or "comparison" to nazi germany, or any other genocidal state even if you do have extreme leanings (which you obviously do) keep them to yourself no one wants to hear them
and i can assure you in light of recent events i don't think you and your code can ever be viewed as the "good guys" again
@Anon2:48
DeleteOn the contrary.
At no point have I "not" shown my true nature. I am an Agent of the New Order. I wear that proudly like a badge on my sleeve.
But what, exactly, Anon, is it that I said that makes me worthy of such admittedly tryhard attempts at demonization?
You, of course, were given an wide- open opportunity to take a shot at me- to provide a proper citation linking Agents of the New Order to making "real-life death wishes" as you have "claimed" that we do. An opportunity that, it now seems, was squandered, since you preferred instead to face-plant at my feet, making random noises about "something you think I said sometime" while being completely unable, despite having a "record," to exactly articulate what "that" was.
You failed an un-timed, open-book test where you got to use your notes, too, Anon.
But all of this seems to be in line with what we know about the The New Order's assessment of the Highsec carebear- so much sound and fury, but no backup, facts, or action when it comes to close scrutiny.
So where do we go from here? The reasonable person can conclude that it is really just your own anger and frustration about the legitimacy and success of the New Order that is leading you to make such spurious and unfounded accusations.
We would advise you giving the Code another reading. It can bring you peace, as well as helping the Eve Community and New Eden as a whole.
Why would you pass up an offer like that?
again you have me confused with someone else (you do this a lot)
Deleteyou used the word "subhuman " before anyone else thus you sparked this whole thing. please try and keep up .
@Anon4:22
Delete1.) I'm sorry, but is what you're saying that you would like me to "stop" using the word "subhuman" to describe subhuman carebears? That's like asking me to lie to a convenience store clerk in order to buy you alcohol. And that's not going to work in here, buddy.
2.) If you wish to be differentiated from the rest of the subhumans, you have to start by taking on a name. Otherwise, you stay in the pit, and you get the hose, just like everyone else.
no i'm saying you used the word"subhuman" first like it was a normal thing to do
Deleteit's not.
i am not your "buddy"
i wish nothing from you only to at least attempt to be a normal human being (even ropleplay has it's limits)
keep your extremist views to yourself l( too late now of course)
and the only pit i see here is that extremist one that you and code peer at the world out of i'm afraid (if you ask nicely i will throw you a flashlight ...meh maybe not).
@Anon4:54
DeleteYes, you certainly are afraid.
Afraid of what might happen if you step outside your rather small box of non-compliance.
CODE. Agents enjoy unlimited freedom and opportunity within EVE. We have the power to enforce where we wish, associate with who we wish, and not constantly live in fear, mostly due to our unstoppable military might. We have the ability to see, hear, and tell, the truth in all matters. The Code grants us this insight, the gift of which James 315 has graciously extended to all carebears, so that they may be "better quality individuals."
Those that reject the Code, (as you have,) are, by corrolary, "lower-quality" individuals. This stuff is all in the Code, which is and always has been, at the top of the page, waiting.
And clearly, you don't need me to tell you where all the "extremists" are. Some of them can be clearly found near the top of the comments section of this thread. As for myself, I've made only rational, sensible, calm arguments calling for Code-compliance. I've spoken only truth, regardless of how uncomfortable that truth may be for you to hear.
Carebears are "subhuman." They confirm it with their words and in practice. Only by embracing the Code and James 315, and becoming compliant, do they ever have a hope of being anything more than content to be consumed.
again you make the wrong assumptions (why do you insist on doing this?) i go wherever i like (except hig sec of course because you make high sec even worse than it already is)
Deletemy freedom is just as unlimited as yours i do whatever the game has to offer(again why you assume otherwise escapes me).
your military might extends as far as high sec (not very far then) with the occasional junket into low or null (by occasional i mean very occasional).
the only time i associate with "extremists" is when i read this blog (most but not all are code).
you quite obviously wouldn't know "the truth" if it bit you in the ass.
there is nor has there ever been anything rational about code or it's "extremist" views.
transferring something as wrong as your extreme sentiments onto a " game"
makes it all the more shocking as this is "just a game" as you keep reminding people.
the code does nothing for eve, never has, never will, it's not capable of doing anything other than causing distaste,bad feeling,and in some cases genuine dislike (mildly put).
and you are correct i don't need you to tell me where all the "extremists " are i'm conversing with one of the chief "extremists right now ( i know the other side has them too ).
so once again i say keep your extremist views to yourself we all know they are there now so we don't need to be reminded constanly buddy.
Friend, I'm going to need you to calm down.
Deletei'm not your friend, i am however very calm. but thanks for your concern.
