The Making of a Legend: The loyalanon Story, Part 3

Previously, on MinerBumping... In Part 2, loyalanon became an Agent of the New Order. Empowered by the Code for the first time, he realized his dreams of suicide ganking Orcas and even freighters. But it is in the nature of the Code that those who embrace it are able to accomplish feats they couldn't even imagine before. loyalanon didn't know it yet, but he was about to take his EVE career to the next level.

A lot of the newer Code/New Order members, and a lot more people that want to get into ganking only see the cool killmails, the big killmails, the tears, and not much else. A lot of them don't understand why I go so hard on freighters, even empty freighters. A lot of people are shocked that I would gank an empty freighter. In my eyes, if you are flying a ship that is worth the same amount if not more than a PLEX carelessly, you deserve to lose it.

I knew that Miniluv/Goonswarm ganked freighters, but they only targeted freighters carrying X amount of isk (usually 5bil plus). I wanted CODE. to be something different. I wanted to kill everybody, regardless of cargo.

We set up shop in Isanamo and killed about 100+ freighters before moving to Aufay.

Death Dealers Disolves.

Around this time when we were ganking freighters in Isanamo, Death Dealers CEO Black Skull disappeared from the game, leaving the largest ganking corp in CODE.'s members unsure of what to do.

I invited any current death dealer to join The Conference Elite on one condition. They handled their own reimbursement of ships and basically did whatever they wanted. Which was different to the way that the death dealers was run. All TCE members basically had free rein to do whatever they wanted, kill whoever they wanted, and I would always have their back if there were any issues.


A lot of great gankers came over to The Conference Elite including but not limited to D400, Karma Balancer, Mildron Klinker, Zane Arnolles, Izaearl, Erika Anzomi, BeBopAReBop RhubarbPie, Sarthana, Nanny State, Killowatt Nearl, and others.

This core group of players helped shape CODE. Alliance into what it is today under my leadership, and for that I will be forever grateful.

Aufay.

To those of you who know a bit about highsec game mechanics, the lower the sec status, the longer the response time by Concord. Moving from Isanamo, a 0.6, to Aufay, a 0.5, made me appreciate those extra few seconds we had. About a month or two into ganking in Aufay, I had heard through the grapevine that Goons would like to gank with CODE. and vice-versa. They joined fleets and we proceeded to smash Aufay.

Aufay was chosen due to it only having 2 gates in system, and it connected the Hek/Rens area with Dodixie >> the rest of New Eden.

This was more of a strategic call as I didn't even know the trade routes - Niarja/Uedama. If I had known Uedama earlier I would have chosen Uedama, but we will get to Uedama later.

Freighter Changes.

While ganking in Aufay, I had heard talk about CCP making changes to freighters by offering them rigs. This was later changed to lowslots.


Carebears around New Eden celebrated (Anti-Ganking wasnt really a thing back then). We gave it one day and ganked the first freighters after the patch was released.

One thing about carebears and players who only care about isk, is that isk outweighs risk. They would rather pack their expanded freighter to the brim with billions and fly it through a ganking hotspot, than take the time to scout their route, make 2-3 trips, or jump an extra few jumps to skip wherever we are ganking.

Nearly instantly there was forum posts demanding more changes to ganking due to us ganking empty freighters. 197 pages with GM's/CCP and ISD's all responding.


We had attracted the attention of a lot of the Eve playerbase, and were no longer viewed as just miner killers, but a threat to the game itself in the eyes of the carebears. CODE. and its playstyle slowly started moving under the watchful eye of CCP and players across New Eden.

I had fulfilled my goal to be hated by everyone in Eve. The hate had exploded and I loved it.


Others' View of loyalanon: 2013, 2014, 2015

The Alliance Tournament.

While we were ganking freighters hard, the Executor of Code at the time, Khoda Khan, had returned to Eve and was in freighter fleets and loving it. He and his wife IRL, Aria Stane, were offering support wherever to keep these fleets going and loving it. CODE. had become one of the biggest ISK destroying alliances in Eve. We also had less members by far then the other alliances, killing hundreds of billions every month. We had not killed a trillion isk in a month yet but that was one of the priorities.

We were running a freighter fleet and someone said it would be funny if we were to join the Alliance Tournament coming up in a few months. After fleet, myself and Khoda talked about it and we applied to join. Originally we were not accepted, but after multiple petitions we were allowed to enter.

The EVE community had long assumed that CODE. would somehow disappear. Instead, its power only grew to alarming new heights. The backlash would be as furious as the freighter pilots loyalanon ganked. Would CODE. win the Alliance Tournament as expected, or would its victory take a more profound form than allowed by the official tournament rules?

To be continued...

  3. Would love to see a biography on an antiganker I imagine it would go like this-

    I was mining and got ganked I was so angry I kicked my dog IRL because it was barking while I was trying to mine and I lost my ship.

    I received a mail about stopping gankers ans got told to join a channel called anti-ganking in the channel they kept talking about how gankers are evil IRL while I was trying to type my dog was hungry but I was typing so I kicked it again.

    My first day in uedama I was in a frigate and I saw all these red pilots land on a freighter and blow it up I locked up some catalysts and had shot them I got killmails where I did 0% damage. I was celebrated by all of anti-ganking, I was teaching code a lesson by helping concord destroy there ships.

    I didnt care about saving the freighter all I cared about was failing non-stop daily continuously ALL the time.

    1. lol I love that wolf/loyalanon is such a big fan of the game that he just quit/imploded from the pressure of a video game. I guess the AG community won? What happened? Who pissed in your cereal to make you quit like that? Quitter.

      Delete
    2. he does sound like a quitter for sure. like a whinny little quitter kid. we from AG expected so much more from a leader and all we got is an implosion and an ego booster story. :( stay out of EvE you quitter. Oh and no one misses your psychotic rants about people killing themselves in real life. have some class you little turd. loyalturd = no class shitter/quitter. peace out children of CHODE. Rham

    3. Lol settle down miners! Move past the loss of your ship and move on, in game and real life.
      Let the peace of code flow through you and then one day you can tell your grand kids about what a legend you were (in game and in comments section with your super insult - chode!)

    8. Since everyone now knows that the only certain things in life are Death, Taxes - and Change, I find it surprising to see some of the negative comments, above.

      From where I'm standing, it's all good. loyalanon has simply decided to do something else with his time. He has embraced change and has decided to make it work for him.

      This is what The New Order does. Adapt or die, remember?

      The would-be Anti-Ganking rabble will continue to fail spectacularly, because they haven't an answer to The Code. And they certainly haven't an answer to James 315 - or did I miss something?

      No. I didn't miss anything.

  4. Since I'm a nice guy I shall tell you of a successful gank and the devastating effect it had on me......

    I was mining and one of my mining fleet got ganked. I was so angry I immediately reshipped in one of my spare ships and continued mining. It took like an eternity (actually 5-10 mins) to recover the isk while the gankers continued to cool off in station. Suddenly with their cooldown gone they left the station. I braced myself and prepared for their 15 catalysts to descend once more to devastated my fleet once more but they left Piekura never to return. I had diner.

    To this day I am haunted by this encounter. The gankers were so nice they gave me 10million isk in kill rights. I put it towards a golem. True story.

    2. Was this the time you got evicted from piekura and moved towards ichoriya?

      Or was it after this happened and you raged - https://zkillboard.com/kill/37916333/

  5. But more seriously I really preferred the days you hated the the New Order and you use to mock them. The New Order in those days were more fun too. They would spend hours and hours spouting that James 315 was the saviour of highsec with such religous vigour. That doesn't happen nowadays. James used to roam with his invincible stabber bumper ships selling permits. I never see him nowadays I hope he is well. If you have him tied up in your basement as some say Loyal say hi to him from me.

    4. Thomas actually draws out a good point here.

      Any government, over time, undergoes shifts of emphasis as it seeks to respond to the ever-evolving issues of its citizens.

      There was a time, referred to by Alana, below, when our efforts seem to have been focused on miners, almost to the exclusion of other folk.

      After reaching out to the miners, we broadened our scope to include mission-runners. Awoxing and wardeccing came next, as part of a general thrust to proselytise all the carebears of Highsec, whatever their chosen activity within the game.

      Freighter-ganking was only delayed by our not having sufficient resources, and the want of a leader who was motivated to take it on. Once those were in place, we were able to send a stark message to all the haulers in Highsec.

      One of the most rewarding aspects of New Order membership is the not knowing what'll be next! That doesn't mean we'll just stop everything until we do know. Even loyalanon continued to gank miners and others while leading freighter-gank fleets.

      Thomas, perhaps we don't 'spout' about James 315 being the Saviour of Highsec as much as we used. That's because Highsec no longer needs to be told: They know.

  8. Lol these crybears that think Loyal quit EvE are true retards. The tears are so real.

    This happened the last time Loyal was "quitting" EvE. Carebears were so happy and angry at the same time, the sperg was lulzy.

    A week later they were back here bitching and whining like normal while Loyal dunked them all day. What a bunch of bitches!

    Thanks Loyal, this is better than last time! :D

  11. I remember the days when the Knights were yet young - newly born from the wild imagination of our Supreme Protector. I fought beside him upon the barren icefields of Kamio - our blasters cutting down great swathes of miners. We could scarcely imagine the ganking power that our humble Knights would one day attain. We looked at the destruction that miniluv visited upon freighters, but never dared to think we may one day match them.

    Loyal has turned our wildest dreams into reality, leading our Knights to ever greater victories. The good people of Highsec rejoice and celebrate brave Loyal's accomplishments.

  12. I remember the days when CODE. was winning, not whining. Now days they just embarrass themselves on facebook and on their own blog. Best they can trow at people are "salty" and "tears", things have grown stagnant. Perhaps this stagnation is the reason CODE. is breaking, this jest has run it's course. Maybe it's not fun anymore and it's getting harder to pretend to be the good guys.

  15. Good lord, AG doesn't get blue loot or on CONCORD's kill mails for a few days and everything the read becomes tears to them and they proclaim that CODE is dying. guess they didn't notice all non freighter kills of late or all the new faces on the killboards.
