Tormented Miner, Part 1

The bot-aspirant carebear, in his wickedness, accuses our Agents of bullying, griefing, and harassment. But good luck finding a trace of those things in Agent Lewak's standard post-gank EVEmail:


Agents of the New Order provide gank recipients with an opportunity to prove their worth.


Most miners, sadly, demonstrate that they are not yet ready for EVE.


In EVE, reading comprehension is a must. And so is the Code.


Alas, too many miners lack even the ambition to be a proper player. They try to avoid ganks by declaring themselves too pitiful to be fired upon.


As Agent Lewak was conducting a patrol of New Order territory, he came across Pythos Torment. She was mining without a permit, so she died. Lewak sent Pythos a standard EVEmail and waited to see whether the miner was cut out for EVE.


Lewak carefully studied her reply. He noticed some warning signs.


Our Agents are a compassionate breed. Lewak gave Pythos the benefit of the doubt, reasoning that perhaps there were extraordinary circumstances preventing the miner from being her best. So he reached out to her and gave her a second chance.


But there were more warning signs.


Lewak cautioned the miner. He had been kind to her, but he would brook no nonsense. There was the Code to consider.


At this point, our Agent began to seriously consider the possibility that Pythos was a Goofus. If so, selling her a mining permit might prove difficult.


Pythos sent additional EVEmails, each one seemingly confirming her status as a treasonous little Goofus. Agent Lewak needed to be sure, though. So he name-dropped the Saviour of Highsec to see what effect it would have:


The game was afoot.

To be continued...

  1. Goodness me, quite the angry little Venture we have today.

    Instead of lashing out, the miner should be thankful that he has an Agent to help him manage his anger.

    1. Ever wonder why Silent Company alliance is so full of hateful, nasty, vile, foul sub-humans? They sure do squeal a lot when you PVP them...in a PVP game.

      They should all find another game to play, EVE is not for their 'kind'.

  2. Man, that last shitter was a real loser. If someone hunted her down (in game of course) and blapped her until she quit (like shardani) EVE would be better off.

    Always!

  4. Can someone point my to a solid reference on the origins of what a Goofus is? I'm familiarizing myself with His written word and have seen many references but not an explanation.

    Praise James.

  5. It's as though CCP go out of their way to recruit the sort of player least likely to become successful and least able to appreciate EVE.
