If a Boeing Lands on Your Skull

When an Agent of the New Order ganks you, it is standard protocol for him or her to send you an EVEmail notifying you of your obligations under the Code. Critics say that this is merely our way of fishing for tears. In fact, it's community outreach. It's also necessary, because when a gank recipient doesn't get an explanation, they usually ask for one anyway. For instance:


I know what you're thinking, dear reader: CCP has already confirmed that ganking improves player retention. AHMED, a bot-aspirant autopiloter, hadn't heard.

And because I know you so well, dear reader, I know what else you're thinking: How was the name "AHMED" not already taken a long time ago? Actually, it was. AHMED is a 2004 player. When Agent Tisiphone Dira ganked AHMED, she knew she would need special assistance in shepherding the wayward carebear to the Code.


Tisiphone enlisted the support of Agent Salah ad-Din al-Jawahiri and invited AHMED to join a Code-compliant complaint channel. At that very moment, AHMED was finishing up the EVEmail seen earlier.


For some reason, tempers tend to flare in EVE--especially in highsec. One of the services provided by the New Order is the creation of safe spaces for civilized discourse. Unfortunately, the only "safe space" most carebears are interested in is a 100% risk-free highsec theme park. They actually prefer risk in their conversations.


AHMED was willing to participate in the dialogue, but his motives were suspect. He used the channel as a platform for spreading hate and promoting the 1980s classic, "The Karate Kid".


In the movie, a youngster learns martial arts from an elite PvP'er who teaches him how to defend himself against bullies. The New Order performs a similar function in highsec: We mentor players and demonstrate how to PvP effectively. Also, we stand up to the bullies.


At first, AHMED couldn't grasp how this special training was going to help. He didn't see the benefit in getting his shuttle and pod waxed off by a Thrasher.


Though a bit cryptic, there was no denying that our Agents were filled with wisdom. It was time for AHMED to show some gratitude.


Not every student is a good one, however. AHMED needed much more training.


Then again, sometimes it is the teacher who learns something from his student.


In this particular case, there was nothing to learn from AHMED. He was full of nonsense.


Sadly, AHMED continued to wander aimlessly. A few days later, a group of New Order Agents caught up with AHMED. They struck first and struck hard. AHMED could've learned PvP from the best, but instead he chose to become another 2004 character used for highsec mining. AHMED's potential remains unfulfilled. Will he get a sequel?

    3. Look I know you are trying to troll but if you have to jump right to the rape remarks you have already failed. Be more subtle in trolling and you will reel in more bites.

    4. Ah, good old censorship... Trying to quiet the carebear opinion. True nazi'ism here... I like these people, they think just like me!Death to all the subhumans!

    5. I knew that james censored the carebears. I just couldn't prove it till now, yet another fail on Code's record. Code always lie!!! Always!!!

    6. Are you saying you want comments about rape in the comments section?

      Delete
    7. censorship is censorship and James promised there would be none. Yet an other lie from the mouths of code. Also, I didn't see the comments that got censored so I have to take your word for it. I'd rather lick a toilet seat....

      One of Johns butt budies said the following in the comments section

      I strongly disagree with any call for moderation. Only DOS attacks like spamming hundreds of comments and doxxing should be dealt with through moderation, as has been the case up until now. Minerbumping opened its very first post with a promise to maintain an open and anonymous comment section. It should stand by that promise.

      These comment sections should remain an open forum in which the carebears can hang themselves for all to see.

      Additionally, the New Order should *never* be reactive. We define the way we play for our own reasons and are never dictated to by the carebears. No New Order policy should ever be reactionary to the carebears, lest we give them even a fleeting taste of legitimacy.

      Any other questions code monkey?

      You are asking a carebear for proof... You stand a better chance talking to the wall sadly.


      While I missed what all this drama was about, I will say that I have known John to never take comments down, so whatever it was must have really been bad.

      Quoting the Saviour himself from his very first minerbumping.com post in August of 2012,

      "To that end, this blog will have an open comments section. Blogger allows you to post comments using various types of accounts, but there's also an option for anonymous comments. Since I believe there is value in candor and the free exchange of ideas, I do not intend to moderate the comments sections of my posts."

      That said, rape is not a topic under discussion within the scope of this blog and, as such, detracts from the real discussions ongoing within this comment section, hindering us from enjoying the wonderful discussions ongoing in this comment section. A reasonable person will agree that this falls well within the "denial of service" clause of my original proposition.

      Hope this helps, anon.

    1. At least this carebear fetured in this article used his imagination this time, and came up with something new instead of the tired old usual tears that we get. I have to give him some points for creativity. I give it a 3/10.

  6. I think saying "loose" when you mean to say "lose" should be a code violation, or at the least a bingo square. I get horribly confused when I read things like "this game is gonna lose all that's left." How am I supposed to interpret that? Is everything to the left of this game too tight?

  7. As an agent of the New Order of Hitler that uses words such as "it" and "subhuman" I hearby declare that AHMED is "subhuman" and should die like the dog "it" is in the gas chamber according to the New Order's final solution.
