Over Two Trillion Forty-Three Billion in Shares Sold

Triumph after triumph--that's the New Order way.

ST0NER SMURF triumphed over the naysayers with his purchase of 7,000 additional shares. In addition to taking us past the 2,037, 2,038, 2,039, 2,040, 2,041, 2,042, and 2,043 billion isk marks and earning himself a righteous Septuple Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™, ST0NER also moved up the shareholder ranks and took the #8 spot of all-time biggest shareholders.


BONUS!

In our last shareholder update, we put out the call for attribution of a certain piece of artwork that was presumed to have been created by Agent Donatien Alphonse Francois. Donatien wrote in and gave proper credit to the true creator of that piece, TheInternet TweepsOnline TheInternet. However, Donatien also contributed an additional piece of artwork with a similar theme; it was used in his campaign against Silent Company:

Good art can sometimes silence an unruly miner. It can also trigger them, though. When the above-pictured art inspired complaints about multiboxing, Donatien referred the miners to this:

Hopefully that cleared things up.


BONUS BONUS!

Of course, we cannot mention Silent Company without some Silent Company tears...

Nikolas Super, a member of Silent Company, lost his ship and then lost his temper.

It's probably safe to say that this miner did not see fit to wash his hands.

Miners, repeatedly using the word "freak" is not an argument. And it will not get you a mining permit. You're gonna need 10 million isk for that.

...Unless you get yourself Red Penned. To be safe, set aside 30 million isk before you even think about mining in highsec.

Over Two Trillion Thirty-Six Billion in Shares Sold

Let's get to work.

Hrothgar Nilsson added to his already considerable holdings of New Order stock with a purchase of 315 additional shares. This was sufficient to bring us to the 2,036 billion isk mark and earn Hrothgar a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.


BONUS!

I hope you're ready for some art.

Koizumi Taira, an accomplished artist and dedicated supporter of the Code has produced three pieces for your viewing pleasure.

First, "The Oath": Agents of the New Order are known for their humility and their humanity--and for keeping their promises.

"The Horn": A powerful reminder that only a Code enforcer is capable of ejecting bot-aspirants from their routines and subroutines.

And "The Inspection": Without our Agents, there would be no law and no Order. Miners, give them your respect and obedience. If you fail, don't say you weren't warned.

Here's a bonus piece of artwork which has been credited to Agent Donatien Alphonse Francois (unless someone else wants to claim it):

This piece could end a lot of unnecessary arguments, I think.

Finally, there's this:

Anti-Code rebels do, on occasion, try their hand at creating artwork of their own. But it's always bad.

In this case, the miner simply defaced Agent Alt 00's masterpiece. Yet another reminder that the New Order is on the side of civilization; the miners only know how to make a mess.

Courage isn't cheap. But it's not expensive either: It's not the amount of money that counts, but where it goes. Those who love highsec and choose to love it courageously with their money send their isk to the New Order. Imagine the tens of trillions of isk worth of blingy mining equipment that could've been invested more wisely. The poor Goofuses could've had a legacy, but they threw it away! Our Agents, on the other hand, ensure that their isk lives forever.

Over Two Trillion Thirty-Five Billion in Shares Sold

The most considerate people in EVE all belong to the New Order family.

Griefers, bullies, and torturers? Yeah, right. Show me where a bot-aspirant carebear ever gave someone 100 New Order shares as a Mother's Day gift. I'll be waiting.

In the meantime, let us proceed to the next milestone: Earl Pinkerton sent in isk for 503 shares, which sent us past the 2,035 billion isk mark. Consequently, Earl earned a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.


BONUS!

It has long been a tradition in the New Order for our artists to create beautiful things to celebrate the beauty of the Code. Koizumi Taira gave us the following:

An inspiring image. Miners, if you have enough time to play a video game, you have enough time to read the Code. No excuses.

Next up, Koiso Komatsu highlights a particularly profound (and relevant) pair of sentences from the Code:

The angry post-gank miner demands, "Why didn't you warn me?" The Agent replies, "Did you see Koiso's poster?" But the miner was "too busy" to read MinerBumping. Now he has nothing but time.

Over Two Trillion Thirty-Four Billion in Shares Sold

Dax Dixon was in a good mood--and good people benefited from it:

Aiko Danuja received 315 shares courtesy of Dax, enabling her to earn a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™ by proxy for taking us past the 2,031 billion isk mark.

Dax's generosity paid off. But this is the New Order of Highsec we're talking about. Dax wasn't the only benefactor this week:

Everything is connected. Agent Donatien Alphonse Francois's love of dolphins turned out to have significant ramifications for highsec: His purchase of 3,150 shares on the dolphins' behalf took us past the 2,032, 2,033, and 2,034 billion isk marks and earned the friendly sea creatures a Triple Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.

There was more:

Not a bad investment strategy for a four year-old. But Donatien's financial savvy would only reach full bloom later, when he was old enough to play EVE and purchase shares of New Order stock.

As if anyone needed more incentive to invest in the New Order! But they've got it.


BONUS!

Agent Krig Povelli recently assisted a Russian streamer in sharing some content worth streaming. Krig's contribution to the Twitch stream begins at around the 1:01:00 mark.

I don't think I'm spoiling anything in saying that our Agent killed the streamer, who lost a Kronos valued by zKillboard at 1.4 billion isk and a pod worth 376 million isk.

Much better publicity than a bunch of PvE, no?

There's a reason why the thinking people of EVE trust the New Order to rule highsec: You can always count on the Code--always! Even our most bot-aspirant of enemies have no choice but to admit that we have stood the test of time. And we always will--again--always!

Over Two Trillion Thirty Billion in Shares Sold

More victories to report!

Thirtyone Organism joined the ranks of the New Order shareholders with a purchase of 1,000 shares, ensuring that we would pass the 2,029 billion isk mark. Thirtyone earned a respectable Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™ and the gratitude of the good people of highsec.

Next up, a report from the Black Rise region:

Yes, let us spin that roulette wheel...

Know-Nothings becomes our latest corporate shareholder with its purchase of 231 shares. For taking us past the 2,030 billion isk mark, the corp earns a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™--a valuable asset indeed!


BONUS!

Last month saw the conclusion of MinerBumping's Forbidden Knowledge series, in which we learned that Knowledgeminer was excommunicated from Anti-Ganking due to his opposition to the "Highsec Lobby".

Sabus Narian's so-called lobby was built around the corporation he founded, which was aptly named Incompetent and Proud. We've seen many such highsec mining corps; the most alarming thing about them is how many clueless newbies they're able to yoke before they inevitably implode.

But the more people they exploit, the greater is their fall.

Such is the failure and the shame of all who would reject the Code.

Over Two Trillion Twenty-Eight Billion in Shares Sold

In EVE, nothing has greater continuity than the Code.

KC Managra Nobano313 reflected upon his initial purchase of New Order stock, which was the subject of a shareholder update on MinerBumping way back in February 2014.

Back then, KC's purchase of shares brought us to the 191 billion isk mark. Today, we've sold over 2 trillion isk worth of shares. KC's 1,000 share purchase brings us to the 2,028 billion isk mark and earns him a nostalgic Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.


BONUS!

Let us ponder beauty and ugliness.

The Code--and its enforcers--represent beauty. Grace and poetry are theirs.

And guess who represents ugliness in highsec.

Yeah, that's an easy one.

I think it's safe to say that we're the ones on the side of civilization. The future is ours. Always!
