What's the Point of Anti-Ganking, Part 1


A victory for the Anti-Gankers? The Anti-Ganking channel celebrated Sparticus Spasticus Mongol's latest prize: A Tornado killmail. Beaming, Sparticus soaked in their applause.


But then a skunk appeared at the rebel garden party: Alexander Kaan reminded everyone in the channel that Sparticus hadn't actually prevented a gank; he'd merely put damage on a Tornado that was jammed by CONCORD anyway.


Sparticus wasn't exactly thrilled to hear that his efforts had been wasted. He wasn't good at shooting Tornadoes, so he shot the messenger instead.


Alexander ganksplained that if CONCORD appears on the killmail, it means that the ganker was still alive by the time CONCORD insta-jammed the ganker. This, in turn, means that the amount of time the ganker had to shoot his target wasn't cut short. Ergo, the Anti-Ganker had absolutely no impact.


The exception to this rule is that an Anti-Ganker using ECM may jam the ganker before CONCORD arrives. In that event, he may or may not have an impact on the gank attempt. But when it comes to Anti-Gankers using DPS to destroy gank ships, the presence of CONCORD on the killmail is definitive proof that the Anti-Ganker utterly failed.


Though it may seem to be the most basic of game mechanics--especially for a group dedicated to said mechanic--Alexander's lecture was met by confusion and disappointment.


Alexander's tone irritated his fellow Anti-Gankers, but his analysis was indisputable. What now?


Sparticus and Noctis Locus weren't willing to give up their philosophy so easily. Sparticus felt that merely trying to stop a gank was good enough. Getting on a CONCORD killmail is like getting a participation trophy. Actually, it's worse--it's a trophy with a label that says "You failed."


Noctis found the mechanics confusing. He argued that it doesn't matter whether you destroy a ganker before CONCORD arrives, as long as you spend your time shooting the ganker.


Incredibly, an "Anti-Ganker" didn't realize that CONCORD jams gankers before destroying them. He had no idea that everything he'd tried to do up to this point had been useless.


If you've ever wondered why the Anti-Gankers have been unable to stop the New Order from ganking, visit their channel.


Despite the fact that the numbers objectively proved Alexander's point, his fellow rebels wouldn't budge. Could Alexander teach the resistance how to stop ganks, or would his heresies get him expelled from the channel?

To be continued...

    He did well to last that long. Looks like the culture of failure has infected the moderators too!

    2. Alex Kaan is a fucking moron who needs to learn how to suck on James' dick and join this blog and be part of emergent content and add something to this experience. For fucking gods sake remember your supposed to be bringing content, go tell him he needs to join and get on his knees and swallow a load or James may feel in-loved.

      Delete
    3. Yes, a slip there. If other moderators cannot remove Kaan (temporarily, even) for making heretical remarks, then it would have to be the channel owner, I suppose.

      I guess my real point is that there was once a time when to hold forth as Kaan does, would have been impossible - moderator or not (but then no moderator would have spoken so). It was in that sense a failure of effective oversight.

      Thanks for pointing it out, though; I'm usually more careful!

  2. How CODE. acts:

    A governmental police force aimed at evicting from Highsec all them bums who won't hail James 315, by inflicting misery and preventing them from earning a living. All residents are required to display a permit and contribute 10 million ISK per year of their material wealth to the state. Under the New Order, society consists of three strata: the elite Agents, the loyal masses, and the squatters. The loyal masses are free to run businesses as they see fit, providing that they comply with The Code.

    What CODE. forces miners to pay for:

    A permit, available for the cost of a symbolic fee, just like all the other law-abiding capsuleers.

    How CODE. fights:
    Always Elite, always outnumbered, always winning.

    Minerbumping.com propaganda is just like:

    Posts released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of carebears; the greatness of James 315; the way of life of Agents, and how badly the noncompliant miners who squat in Highsec live.

    3. "A governmental police force" Well we seen that before and it never worked out for the public.

      "aimed at evicting from Highsec all them bums who won't hail James 315" So now he needs attention and worship from everyone. Attention whore perhaps?

      "by inflicting misery and preventing them from earning a living" Like when Nazi Germany forced the Jews into the ghettos.

      "All residents are required to display a permit and contribute 10 million ISK per year of their material wealth to the state." So taxes, but you don't get to vote on them, a revolution was fought about this once.

      "Under the New Order, society consists of three strata: the elite Agents, the loyal masses, and the squatters." Wow a repeat of a Nazi society, a hierarchy born from the idealism of an egalitarian society.

      "The loyal masses are free to run businesses as they see fit, providing that they comply with The Code." Unfortunately its hard to comply to rules that are changing on a daily basis.

      "A permit, available for the cost of a symbolic fee, just like all the other law-abiding capsuleers." A symbolic fee would be more like what Xerxees was asking for, this is actually part of a players earnings and thus not symbolic.

      "Always Elite, always outnumbered, always winning." Depends on who you ask, and certainly not elite here in the comments with the amount of swearing is done even by named agents. Winning would be a relative term, in this instance, where you are profiting but your still not getting the control your demanding.

      "Posts released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of carebears; the greatness of James 315; the way of life of Agents, and how badly the noncompliant miners who squat in Highsec live." Now that does sound very familiar.
      "Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi especially the young and as World war 2 approached, how badly Germans who lived in countries in Eastern Europe were treated." Yup that's why it sounded familiar.

  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.

    How code fights:
    Blitzkrieg means “lightning war”. It was an innovative military technique first used by the Germans in World War two and was a tactic based on speed and surprise. Blitzkrieg relied on a military force be based around Light tank units supported by planes and infantry (foot soldiers). The tactic was based on Alfred von Schlieffen’s ‘Schlieffen Plan’ – this was a doctrine formed during WWI that focused on quick military victory. It was later developed in Germany by an army officer called Heinz Guderian who looked at new technologies, namely dive bombers and light tanks, to improve the German army’s maneuverability.


    Minerbumping.com propaganda is just like:

    Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues: the greed of Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi especially the young and as World war 2 approached, how badly Germans who lived in countries in Eastern Europe were treated.

  10. Kalynn Shardani was a terrifying example of the sort of animal that would seek to oppose James 315's natural Order. Kalynn was a self-hating antiganker whose fury over being unable to stop PvP in a PvP game spilled over into real life familial abuse and escalated into filicide. His final action was to take his own life.

    Perhaps things would have been different if he had played Meow Meow Star Acres instead of EVE Online. ag unpersons take notice!

  11. Good evening, New Eden. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition, the totality of blogs. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, where upon important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with moderator accounts will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly, there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, ganking. They were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, James 315. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. This night, I seek to end that silence. This night, I corrupt the MB to remind this community of what it has forgotten. A great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words; they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this Code remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me, inside the gates of High Sec, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

  18. Noctis Locus' inability to understand the fault in his logic, even after multiple attempts to help him understand, is indicative of the carebear as a species. The concept he doesn't understand seems so simple. He has a classic case of target fixation, and cannot see past his hatred of gankers, and his own inability to stop them.

    He's so screwed if he does go to ecm now, he will have to admit he was a total failure up to that point. Complete and total failure.
    He's trapped in a scenario where he must keep pounding away fruitlessly at the gankers activly firing ship until concord arrives and actually stops the gank.

    All he would need to do is gank a miner once and he would know exactly how the mechanics work. According to the hsm, it's so easy anyone can do it. So what's your excuse now Locus?

    To all of the antigankers out there: You can have Noctis and everyone like him. Give me a ganker's resolve over a carebear's blind hatred anyday.
