Venture of a Lifetime, Part 5

Previously, on MinerBumping... All Agent Shilliam Watner wanted to do was to restore peace to the Algogille system. But a vengeful miner named VsUK Cammack, who claimed to be a 15-year veteran of EVE, threatened to undermine the legitimacy of the Code and raise a full-scale rebellion against the New Order.


Permit owner Gallente Ambrye fielded some questions about the Code in local. VsUK acted as a one-man Greek chorus, periodically inserting snide commentary.


VsUK resumed his interrogation of the pro-Code forces in local. He demanded to know how our Agents can tell if a miner is AFK. Of course, it is the obligation of the miner to prove that he's not AFK. (Which is an easy task, if you're actually at your keyboard.)


Eivor was a little skeptical at first, but she had to admit that if a miner waits around to be ganked, he's probably breaking the Code.


Despite Gallente Ambrye's admirable efforts to educate the miner, VsUK only grew more bitter with time.


Agent Shilliam kept quiet in local, but his deadly effectiveness was well known to the Algogille system.


VsUK was increasingly frustrated with the situation. He'd hoped to rally support to his cause, but looked for allies in vain. Now came the critical moment: He would either abandon his childish resistance to the Code--or he would choose the Goofus option.


The Goofus option 'twould be.


It's not uncommon for miners to claim to have served in the military. Whether or not the claim was true in this case, VsUK struggled to gain support in Algogille. In fact, the more he spoke, the more miners he tended to alienate.


Though he was a failure as a PvP'er in EVE, VsUK tried to bolster his record by appealing to unverifiable claims of real-life PvP. Unsurprisingly, this strategy backfired.


Random onlooker Laura Theron, who might have otherwise been sympathetic to VsUK's cause, made no secret of the fact that she was quite tired of him.


As is so frequently the case, VsUK's attempt to organize an anti-Code resistance only resulted in stirring up conflict among his fellow miners.


VsUK was soon entirely preoccupied in putting out the fires he'd started.


The rebel miner was fully engaged on this new front of his own creation. Our Agents continued to enforce the Code with impunity.


With Agent Shilliam's latest victory, VsUK knew he was beaten. The alleged military hero retired from the field of battle. Another triumph for the New Order!

  2. Does Lawrence and the SfPTCMW still supoort non-compliant alpha leeches? Not the fact that it's alpha, or a leech, but that it's non-permitted.

    Is it safe to say Lawrence is ok with non-compliance? Just judging from his past comments?

    Oh wait, sorry, he never did clear that up in yesterday's comments. I guess I will need to wait for his alt, ehnema, to respond first. That's usually his cue.

    ;)

    1. An earlier post claimed that Enhea was my Alt, now she belongs to Lawrence? Whilst I do regard her as a kind of mischievous pet, she is not technically owned by either of us.

      You are of course encouraged to take matters into your own hand, if you feel you can do a better job than Agent Lawrence.

      Best of luck with that :-)

    4. She's not mine either, Alt 00.

      All may rest assured! Ehnea is still a convicted criminal with no special protections from myself or my School, even if her posting is better that average. Ehnea's catty detractor has mistaken my disapproval of his spineless name-calling tactics for support of the enemy. A true Knight would not be so insecure.

      As always, my in-game mailbox is open for discussion, and so far Anon has not been brave enough to use it. He's apparently just some random Internet Tough Guy.

    7. I'm glad we have this cleared up. You won't believe the number of times I've been called a CODE alt. I was even blown up by someone who thought I was a CODE Agent. Christ people, get your facts straight from ZKillboard before confusing me with someone else.....

    8. Hey Professor, ehnema's detractors wouldn't have to be "catty" if you were doing your job to begin with.

      When an anti-Code shitter pipes up and discounts the Code on this site it's every Agent's job to call them out and shut them down.

      When ehnema showed up and scoffed at the Code you did neither, so anons had to do it for you. Then you disagree with their methods? Maybe you need to reevaluate your loyalties. There's no room for carebear dissidence, only obedience.

      Do you really believe in James' vision, or are you just here to gank without purpose? A true Knight wouldn't coddle a confirmed anti-Code criminal. A true knight wouldn't be led astray by a sassy little piece of alpha tail.

      Part of the problem, or part of the solution. It's time you made it clear where you stand professor. Don't forget that the goal is 100% compliance. It may just be rhetoric to you Lawrence, but to a true Knight there can be no other opinion. If you don't have the stones for it maybe you picked the wrong tenure. Maybe a position at the Lawrence Lawton School for Pubbies That Can't Enforce Good would have been a better fit.

      What do you care anyway? After a bit of space fame you will just run back to goon null eventually, leaving the hard fight to real gankers. Lucky for you there are dedicated professionals on the job. I'm sure other Agents will take up your slack while you and ehneepoo fluff each others comments.

      Don't take it personal LL, I'm sure you mean well. I just won't tolerate non-compliants, from either side.

    10. Im actually quite impressed with Lawrence and how he is dealing with this situation. Although still non-compliant with the laws he does make more of a case than the foul mouthed guy who tries to act like galaxy pig.

      Dear Lawrence,
      In light of your intellect your fee is reduced to 100 GBP, however you are still a criminal monkey that needs to pay his fees.

      Your better,
      Troll.

    11. Hey Anonymous714AM,

      If minerbumping.com only let gankers comment it would have become a safe space and an echo chamber for that community. Letting industrialists and miners respond shows confidence that James 315's vision you speak of can stand up to scrutiny. If you don't have confidence in what you believe in, it's gonna fail.

      It's really funny you are QQing to the Professor about not doing his job calling people like me out and shut us down....while you sit in the shadows. What have YOU done for the glorious cause? Do you even play the game? We can't tell! For all we know, you could just be a newbie pretender who wants to party with the "cool kids".

      You strongly believe in the CODE? Fine, get in a gank ship, head for the belts and do your part with your EvE name in the clear. Actions speak louder than words.

    13. I guess I misspoke on that count LL. I don't question your methods as much as I question your dedication. Every time you fluff some shitter like ehnema you choose the wrong side.

      The Code is the law of highsec. Laws which you should uphold without hesitation if you want the benefits of the allianc tag. Your decision to coddle anti-Code alpha leeches that won't even help support EVE itself calls into question yoir ability to discern friend from foe. There is no grey area here Lawrence, friend. If you support the Code then ehnema and all her posturing is in direct violation of the law.

      You can rationalize your actions until the servers shut down, but the law is the law and our Law says that all miners shall be compliant and respectful. Your friend the ehnema is neither, and on top of that she refuses to help support the game by becoming a paying member.

      You show your support for ehnemas 3 strikes attitude when you fluff her comments on thus site. You show the general public that you agree with something she said, and the public will start to think you agree with everything she says.

      And what she has been saying since the begining is: you don't need a permit to mine.

      You still haven't chosen a position. With us or against us. 100% compliance.

    14. "You" question my dedication? Well, anon532, I'm not going to justify myself to an unknown accuser. I already have the support of the Saviour and the leadership. If that displeases you, we look forward to reading more of your impotent rants.

      Delete
    15. I question your dedication there Anon532. Dedicated to "the cause" while being Anon. Sounds like a Hypocrite. Just like the reason I left Code. Glad I left! Not having to put up with crazy people like you is a blessing. Go be a zealot somewhere else.

  3. Agent Shilliam on the other hand, I must congratulate for his achievements!

    The British Army officer holds a somewhat lowly ranking – far from issuing orders, VsUK will in most instances be following them.

    It is alarming that he proved unable to follow something as simple as the New Halaima Code of Conduct.

  6. If Vsuk was indeed an army officer - for which evidence there is none - he should know that "kicking squaddies arses" will get you in front of the colonel very quickly indeed, for betraying officers' duty of care to their men, and will almost certainly attract the ire of senior NCOs, who are quite capable of reducing such a miserable snivelling Rupert such as he claims into a gibbering wreck.

    Or more likely Vsuk is what's known as a "Walter Mitty": that most disgusting of creatures, claiming other peoples' valour as their own, and is merely piss and wind.

    Vsuk, if you're reading this, pay your dues to your social and genetic superiors, and then piss off you stinking excuse for a bag of shite.

    If you can't see past your own failures you will never understand this game.

  8. Ha look at this guy. So easily triggered by a guy stating the obvious he has to cry about it. The bitch said she wanted the guy to get shot by ISIS. your bitching over the guy pointing it out. Whats more is your calling them both space nerds for playing the game you play. God when you fail, you fail hard its like your trying to make it an artform.
