The Making of a Legend: The loyalanon Story, Part 5

Previously, on MinerBumping... In Part 4, loyalanon described how the champions of the status quo in EVE reacted to the unprecedented threat posed by CODE. A shocking wave of permabans--which has never been adequately explained--threatened the alliance. CODE.'s leaders considered quitting the game in protest, but an encouraging EVEmail from the Saviour of Highsec gave loyalanon a different idea: Burn the carebears.

Results of the Banwave.

Carebears and Anti-Gankers celebrated far and wide that a lot of CODE. members were banned. I waited a few weeks and let them celebrate the 5 minutes of victory they felt over us.

One Month after the banwave, CODE. Alliance passed the 1 trillion isk mark destroyed in a single month. The carebear celebrations were cut short and the complaining and crying about us ganking continued.

This MinerBumping post basically summed up everything.

This was the first time we had passed this milestone and it was only the beginning. Despite a combination of taking real life breaks and my time in lowsec between fleets, we have passed 1 trillion isk destroyed 11 out of the 19 months since the banwave.

My resolve to get back at those who I felt wronged our alliance and my friends had come to fruition, and we were farming tears/freighters at a rate never before seen in the history of Eve, with the help of Goonswarm/Miniluv.

Freighter Changes.

One thing that CCP needs to learn is that you cannot patch stupid. The number one way to die in highsec in this game is to click the autopilot button.

I have lost count of how many freighters/industrials/Orcas have died with billions and billions in the cargo just due to using autopilot. The autopilot button is the ultimate form of carebearness/laziness in this game and if you use it and die to us, you definitely deserve to die. When I see Anti-Gankers trying to save someone who is on autopilot, I stop and think as to why they would want to save someone who is too lazy to save themselves.


Recently another freighter buff was introduced. I remember everyone in Alliance and MinerBumping chat were freaking out about the changes, saying how it will be harder, etc. All I knew was that I just needed more Catalysts to kill a freighter now, no big deal :)


Let's not forget the carebears/Anti-Gankers celebrating that CCP had finally stopped ganking once and for all. Like I've said earlier, in the past we allow the carebears to celebrate their 5 minutes of victory they feel they have over us and then it's business as usual.


In Closing.

In closing, I imagine that the CODE. alliance will continue as normal. However, the game itself is changing and steering further and further away from the Cold/Harsh/"Free to play the sandbox your way" MMO that CCP has made it out to be. My fear is that no one will speak up for the pirate community in Eve, and carebears will have free rein to do whatever they want in Eve. CODE. Alliance in a way is a way to remind players that Eve is harsh, much to the carebears' disdain.

I started out ganking miners by myself, and learned everything by myself. There is no wrong way to learn how to do things in this game, and I have failed a gank due to error on my part more times than I can remember. If you want to learn how to bump freighters/miners, don't wait for someone to teach you - take a cruiser or a Machariel and sit in Uedama/Niarja/ice belts and bump people. The fastest way to learn in Eve is to go out and just do it.

A lot of aspiring Agents of the Code look up at my killboard or The Conference Elite's killboard and want to get to the top instantly. Unfortunately it does not work like that. You need to go out and forge your own path in Eve as a lot of others have done. You don't get to the top by watching other people put in the work. You get to the top by putting in the hard yards and knowing what you are doing is a worthy cause. A lot of other aspiring gankers are in it for the isk. You don't join CODE. for the isk, you join CODE. because you want to make a difference in highsec.

Final thoughts - If one person can change the face of Eve bumping miners in an icebelt in a Stabber, you can change New Eden as well. It's up to you to get up and do it, no one else is going to do it for you.

And so it was that loyalanon rose from obscurity and became an EVE legend. The Code enabled him to make history and change the face of EVE forever. loyalanon's final observations are worth pondering: Highsec is filled with ordinary players doing ordinary things. But all of them, having access to the Code, also have the potential to become legends.

    lol this. ^^ "A lot of aspiring gankers"... all the troll gankers i've met are in it for the ISK. they don't follow the CODE they just like to blow up people for the luls. what a inspiring story tho. hope people learn what not to do from your story.

    "Final thoughts - If one person can change the face of Eve bumping miners in an icebelt in a Stabber, you can change New Eden as well. It's up to you to get up and do it, no one else is going to do it for you."

    lul this ^^. also seems according to reddit, your corp was recently robbed for 40 billion or more (i counted 52 or 53 billion based on those funny pictures on the internets but whatever 40 billion is just as bad. then you quit eve. any coincidence? failed to mention this in your bio. but again its not about the isk. comments are welcome. this is a safe place.

  3. omg. here we go again. raise above what loyal does in local chat. be better than him. He is a person seeking desperate attention from anything. he grasps at straws that have no humanity like that. hes a tool. don't get him going again over some poor blokes suicide/murder. he just feeds off the pain and suffering of others. don't get him talking about things he enjoys so much.

  4. he caused someone to die in RL, he is despicable.

  5. The person behind the murder/suicide, according to his wife, was not a very nice man IRL. Get your facts straight Veers, I can see why GV never liked you, he said you where an ass and its showing now.

  6. I wasnt aware I upset people in real life over a video game XD

  7. You know what Veers? I make satire comments, jokes, and accusations about code all the time. I make shit up about Jimmy Boy 315, the doofus of highsec, all the time. And I'll admit, sometimes I do cross the line...well...more like cross the line, plant dynamite on it, and blow it up... But seriously, I doubt that Loyalamoron actually made the guy put a gun to his head and made him pull the trigger. Unless Loyal was actually there, I don't see it happening.

    Loyalamoron/Wolf SoSPATo: You are still a sociopath.

    Apache/Mike Adoulin: Ganker, calm down. LOL

  9. In the early morning hours of March 15 YC 118, a lone catalyst flew through the Jita system and into the atmosphere of the planet Jita 4. While flying low over a city that was directly beneath the Jita 4-4 station, the pilot detonated the matter-antimatter fusion reactor. The resulting explosion vaporized the city and blasted half the planet's atmosphere off into space. The resulting shockwave hit the Jita 4-4 station and ripped it apart. The screams of thousands of day traders, gankers, wankers, carebears, and scammers were silenced by the sudden explosive decompression when the station's hull was breached. Many medical clones were soon reactivated which sparked off a new round of DUST 514 battles. Many were pissed due to the loss of some very rare and expensive implants whose combined value was in the trillions.

    Meanwhile, on the planet, Bambi was in a meadow. Suddenly, the flaming corpse of Loyalamoron came flying down and hit Bambi. The corpse road Bambi to places unknown. The only evidence left is a burnt streak of grass.

    BM.

And the procedure is very simple for Windows and server users. Only three-step, users could recover the lost, deleted, formatted, corrupt files easy and safe.
