Thrasher for Your Thoughts, Part 3

Previously, on MinerBumping... Vrix Nation decided to pick the brains of autopiloters and get their candid opinions about the state of highsec. The results were illuminating.


The advantage to striking up a conversation with a carebear mid-autopilot should be obvious. Surprise inspections tend to be the most effective ones.


Some EVE players slack off by doing homework when they should be focused on their video games.


Our Agents managed to pod Davidd Olacar, the richest player in EVE. He makes over 360 trillion isk per year and is the game's only quadrillionaire. Chribba carries his luggage.


Sadly, our Agents also podded Harat Nabor, the most important business contact for CODE. that you've never heard of.


Flying under the CODE. banner is sort of a force multiplier. When a player from Vrix Nation pods people, they look at the CODE. alliance ticker and instantly get a sense of whom they're dealing with.


On the other hand, Vrix Nation's activities can earn CODE. new enemies. For example, Seldon Vestrit has an idea of how to destroy us--if only he can keep his nose out of his browser!


Rumors can be deadly. Helen Helenius read something on Reddit and thought it was safe to autopilot again. She was wrong.


Carebears may not consciously like being podded while autopiloting, but do they respect it? Probably most do.


The temporary bump in player numbers from EVE's "free to play" initiative has mostly subsided. The problem was that the new players weren't invested enough in the game. Also, the tutorial lacked Code-related content.


Thanos Zanjoahir had an excuse for autopiloting that was so confusing that our Agents are still trying to figure it out. In the meantime, his reimbursement request must remain on hold.


You can file this one under, "I AM CALM!!!"


The phrase "constructive criticism" is a tricky one; a lot of people gloss over the word "constructive", and you end up with stuff like this.


Bot-aspirants are in a daze when forcibly unplugged. They're like sleepwalkers; experts say you shouldn't wake them unless it's urgent. Well, the Code says it's urgent.


Every Agent is a professor, and every bot-aspirant is a student. Some pass, others fail.

  4. How CODE acts:

    Government agencies at all levels aimed to exclude Jews from the economic sphere of Germany by preventing them from earning a living. Jews were required to register their domestic and foreign property and assets, a prelude to the gradual expropriation of their material wealth by the state. Likewise, the German authorities intended to "Aryanize" all Jewish businesses, a process involving the dismissal of Jewish workers and managers, as well as the transfer of companies and enterprises to non-Jewish Germans, who bought them at prices officially fixed well below market value. From April 1933 to April 1938, "Aryanization" effectively reduced the number of Jewish-owned businesses in Germany by approximately two-thirds.

    What code forces miners to pay for:

    During the Nazi era, German authorities reintroduced the Jewish badge as a key element in their plan to persecute and eventually to destroy the Jewish population of Europe. They used the badge not only to stigmatize and humiliate Jews but also to segregate them and to watch and control their movements.

  9. Can we please just stop all the treason and give Loyal his stuff back? Then we can all get back to ganking together and stop worrying about coups and theft and internal affairs mails. Maybe a nice glass of water would help.
