This Round's On Me

Was it a dark omen? Agent Zapp Blappington dispatched two newly minted gank alts to the ice anomaly in the Mitsolen system. His intended target, Raymond Yudinov, immediately warped out after watching Zapp's gank alts land on a faulty warp-in.


The good news is that Raymond wasn't AFK; his reflexes were decent, even. But Raymond clearly suffered from unauthorized thoughts and beliefs about the Code.


Highsec miners are creatures of routine, and they're pretty much all alike. Even so, every once in a while, a miner will do something unusual. Sen Zhou heard the discussion about mining permits and floated the possibility of a system-wide permit.


Sen Zhou's "system permit" idea was a question of first impression for Agent Zapp. He consulted his copy of the Code and determined that there was no basis for it.


Raymond's Goofus status was confirmed: He became more irritable after hearing my name.


Although the Code didn't allow for the Mitsolen system itself to be granted a mining permit, Sen couldn't shake the idea. She followed up with a question about buying a permit for all 25 players in local. Zapp agreed that this was feasible.


Whenever someone suggests that they might purchase a permit (or permits), it tends to trigger the other miners in local. Raymond warned Sen against it. However, Sen was a classic case of a miner who runs the numbers. Buying a permit makes too much sense not to do it.


Still, Sen had some qualms. Agent Zapp was very reassuring, though. Our Agents ooze credibility and trustworthiness.


The miner did some additional reading. For the hardened rebels watching her in local, she was getting a little too close to a pro-Code stance. Tension grew thick in Mitsolen.


Finally, Sen decided it was too good an idea to pass up. She announced that she was buying mining permits for everyone in the system.


Agent Zapp prepared to open his wallet. It was a good day to be an Agent of the New Order.


By receiving a quarter-billion isk in one sale, Zapp's isk/hr ratio went through the roof. More importantly, he had served the Code. Impressively, Sen Zhou even bought a permit for crusty old Raymond.


Of course, it's not enough simply to buy a permit--or to have one bought for you. To benefit from Sen's generosity, the miners would need to display the mining permit in their bio (as Sen did) and obey the Code.


In the New Order, victories tend to lead to more victories. Our Agent used Sen's isk to help fund the purchase of his first 315 shares in the New Order. And one good turn deserves another: Zapp decided to purchase the shares in Sen Zhou's name. Who in highsec wouldn't want to participate in a glorious movement like ours?

    And this reveals Jamey's and his CHODE. slaves true desires: The size of your isk/hr ratio.
    True hypocrites. All of them.

    1. Isk/hour is not bad by default. You can buy gank ships and New Order shares with it, like every decent citizen of Highsec.

    2. this really shows the ignorance of the anon minerbumping blog shitposters.
      somehow not only did he miss that all the permit isk was used to purchase shares, but that ADDITIONAL isk was also included to bolster the amount to 315 million.

  3. What a heartwarming story!

    Agent Zapp Blappington (fantastic name btw) deserves a resounding Hurrah! for his polite, intelligent, and persistent pursuit of those permit sales. His generosity in buying shares just rounds it off nicely, doesn't it?

    Well done!

  4. You know when somebody else funds the pledge, do you really see compliance from the benefactors? I hope Zapp puts Mitsolen under increased checks to ensure the free ride miners comply and don't get complacent with their obligations.

    1. You're quite right Karma. I've been regularly checking and most of the miners have not taken advantage of Sen's generosity. Though most also seem to remain afk in station... Perhaps they haven't checked their mail yet.

    5. Yup, we are going to continue to reference real life tragedies despite the fact we criticize carebears for doing the same exact thing.

      Code. official response on this blatant double standard is we don't give a fuck. We are going to do whatever we want and no one can tell us different. Do as we say not as we do.

  7. wow just wow. Antigankers are truly truly failing so hard right now.

    Its so cringeworthy how embarrassing it must be for them to describe to their friends and families what they do in eve.

    random person: "hey man that game looks like fun what do you do in it?"

    antiganker: "yeah man so I basically wait for 15 minutes to watch a freighter blow up"

    random person: "wow that sounds like fun so you blow up stuff sounds cool man"

    antiganking: "no I just watch freighters blow up"

    random person: *cringes* "wtf" * walks away shaking head*

    antiganking mum: "you use my credit card every month to watch other people have fun in a video game????"

    2. Calm down murder lovers, such a shame that you two failed to become awakened and still praise child killers and pedophiles all while celebrating terrorism.

      SAD, stay home and play with your pixels, don't bring your impotent rage out of game.

  8. CCP intend hisec safe so pacifist theme parker have place to earn ISK with low commitment. The cod is a heavy burden on us but ganker influence CCP with powerful CSM connections. You not know casual gamers most likely to pay cash for subscription?

    2. Hello Retard (Anon 609),

      That rule is for ingame chat channels, and the EvE-O forum. I'm pretty sure CCP doesn't give a fuck what goes on here. Nice try though.

    3. Hello foul mouthed agent, your disregard for rules proves that you are not a gallant player. Also since when did anyone from the New Order of Halaima care about CCP, the rules of not impersonating an elected official are pretty clear yet the New Order of Halaima continues to claim that James was elected.

      Thank you for sharing.

    8. Ugh, who let the idiots out?...

      @ Anon 8:05: Where does it say in the TOS that "Impersonating an elected official" is against the rules. People do this in EvE all the time for a wide variety of reasons.

      Hate to break the bad news to you bud, but this is not the first time someone has done something like this, and it probably won't be the last.

      So long as you don't impersonate an ISD, a CCP employee, or another player scamming, protection rackets, pirating, suicide ganking, ect is well within the rules and a legitimate gameplay style.

      HTFU or GTFO and go back to WoW.

    9. You may not impersonate or present yourself to be a representative of CCP or an EVE Online volunteer. You may not impersonate or falsely present yourself to be a representative of another player, group of players, character or NPC entity.

      Now tell me how he represents high sec, a space governed by the three npc empires. Also how he is an elected official and claims to represent whom.

      You can stop crying now criminal
