Baby It's Code Outside

Christmas, already a popular holiday, got a big shot in the arm when A Highsec Christmas Carol was published on MinerBumping on December 25, 2013. Can you believe it's already been five years?


Sasha Nemtsov's audio version of A Highsec Christmas Carol serves as a worthy accompaniment to the classic text. Indeed, it's hard to imagine spending the holiday season without listening to it at least once.

You know, there's been a lot of talk this year about newbies and "newbros" and "new returning players". Most of these supposed new players are hardened bot-aspirants masquerading behind yet another layer of excuses for their Code violations. However, if someone is genuinely new to EVE, just imagine the sense of magic and wonder they would experience upon listening to A Highsec Christmas Carol for the very first time.

Give them that gift--the gift of Gankmas.

    Sweetly ganking or their domain.
    And the miners in reply
    Cry their tears in the local refrain.

    All praise be to Jaaaa aaames!

  5. I was a few months old newbee when I read Highsec Christmas Carol. It was indeed invigorating. Though The Code was always there to guide my steps in EvE.

    Merry Christmas agents!

  7. Does anyone else remember kalynn shardani the antiganking moderator who killed his infant child and then himself because he was upset over a video game?

    1. Never forget shardani, the guy who ganked his minor.

    2. I haven't seen any real evidence, I tend to think it's not true. Not something to joke about regardless.

    3. It is no joke.

      Think of it as a public service announcement.
      Bot aspirancy is a mental disorder.

    4. Karma Balancer, I think that calling it a mental disorder is rather over the top: some people just want to lazily mine whilst afk.

      Yes, it is an absolute cancer to the game, but going so far as to call it a mental disorder is ridiculous.
