Code always does what?

Last night I dropped an alt into Minerbumping Chat to see what the CodeMonkeys were up to. I was surprised to see CodeMonkey King of Highsec posting links to his twitch channel. You can find it HERE.

I went to my out of game browser and started watching. The channel loaded and he was in the midst of a gank, I was rather amused to see a Nemesis pop out of nowhere and shut the gank down. 

King had a Cam going on himself and he says and I QUOTE: “Guess the CODE doesn’t always win”

I didn’t see who the Nemesis pilot was, but Job well done.

I dropped his twitch link into the AG channels and set my destination for HEK. I also logged into twitch and begged him not to stop broadcasting ;).

When I landed in HEK fellow AG CodeMonkey Killer Thomas En Chasteaux was already on scene in a ECM Nemesis as well. 

We scoped out Kings next target and waited while watching his live stream.

Here’s what happened next.

Sadly, I believe King had too many things going at once and forgot to pull Concord as Concord whored on mine and Thomas’s Killmail.

But oh well. The Noob in the Retriever continued to mine. Alexander Kaan who is another fine AG CodeMonkey Killer responded and repped the poor retrievers shields back up to full and King of HighSec logged out saying once again on his live stream. “Guess the CODE doesn’t always win”

The following is AG’s response to the incident…

UPDATE: You can watch a recording of the twitch stream HERE
Go to 3:37 for King saying; IT'S GORILA! and his reaction LOL

This next bit I just had to share. Thomas En Chasteaux is also a special correspondent for Gankerbumping and he posted the following story in my comments section. He linked me a photo the next day, I loved it so much I’m reposting it ;)

*James sleeping with baseball bat under bed now*

Following the latest incursion in Kino over the weekend, James 315 - ponzi scheme artist and monastic station hermit - told supporters Monday that he is taking extra safety precautions by now sleeping with a baseball bat under his bed. "We live in a dangerous galaxy, and it's important to be prepared to protect CODE's family jewels, referring to his oddly glowing posterior. "If I hear anybody trying to dock, it's a relief to know that I can just reach under the bed and give them a reason to think twice about ever coming back to Kino. I know Mr. Pickles sleeps a lot more easily now that I've got this piece of lumber by my side", said James as he stroked a stuffed Fedo doll. While James said he hopes to never use the weapon, he admitted he received a scare Sunday night when he tiptoed into the kitchen after hearing noises. After several wild swings and high pitched screaming, James found Jerry Rin crumpled, unconscious and twitching on the floor. It was later learned that Rin, recently unemployed and without a pilot license, had come to gank James' refrigerator. CONCORD was called to remove the Cheetoh dust-covered Rin, and charged him with breaking and entering without a permit, his third offense this week.

James 315 Publishes his new Book of Tears on TMC

I guess it’s a good thing I've been home more this week and able to update Gankerbumping….

I knew that James 315 had others writing Minerbumping for him and now I understand why. He's now a space lawyer and he published a 16 page BOOK on The Mitanni.com today talking about the bans that took place. I’m NOT kidding. There is a 16 page “article”.

You can find the link HERE.

I made a pot of coffee and sat down to the read the thing and the following is what I took from it.

James states the following on the first page.

Before we get started, I'd like to address those who carry a particular attitude when it comes to rule enforcement. They're the people who make comments like, "It's CCP's game, they can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, you can leave." This authoritarian-friendly mindset, I've found, is most common among the very young, the very old, and the very dull.

It’s funny to me he accuses people of having an “authoritarian-friendly mindset” when James is the leader of what I’ve heard many identify as a cult. Let me also point out the numerous times I’ve seen whoever is writing Minerbumping say “maybe EVE isn’t the game for you”. Now that James has gotten a taste of his own medicine he’s crying?

James then goes on to write about what has occurred in the past in EVE Gameplay. There is page after page of him citing previous examples of others doing different nefarious deeds and what was done to the people who did them. It honestly made me think of the kid in the schoolyard who got caught doing something bad, so he cries to the teacher (CCP) about what others did.

There is something I understand that others, especially those who follow James, don’t seem to understand. EVE ONLINE isn’t a board game. The rules can never be set in stone as the game has to grow and change to keep CCP in business. CCP has to respond to changing situations and try to draw new players (money) into the game. What has occurred in the past doesn’t matter. Who got away with what in the past doesn’t matter. For someone who says he wants to create content James doesn’t seem to understand that.

As for what happened in the Bonus Room with Erotica 1, I can see the problems it created for CCP and I’m glad it’s not something I had to deal with. As a company CCP had to deal with saying “play the villain” while on the other hand worrying about public perception. The last thing you want is public opinion to be “EVE? The game where they allow things like getting players on comms to harass and humiliate them? Why would anyone play THAT!?!

It doesn’t matter what really happened in the Bonus room, what matters is PUBLIC PERCEPTION. That’s why I understood what CCP Falcon was trying to say when he posted on the forums. I understand why he isn’t going to come out and draw a clear line in the sand that James and others seem to want. Let me put it like this, EVE could not grow and evolve if its rules were set in stone, the game would become stagnate and die.

Now I know James is trying to scare people in his post and make it seem like CCP could arbitrarily just ban you for no reason.  I’m sure CCP made mistakes when the banns were handed out. No one is perfect.  That’s between CCP and the players and I hope CCP is willing to listen to some of the ppl if they really didn’t step over the line and can offer proof.

All of this goes back to perception. CCP had to do something over the bonus room and the people who still did them. They had to take a stance and they did. Does that stance follow actions CCP has taken in the past? No. Management has changed and so has EVE itself.

 I’ll say this; I’ve never understood the draw of doing “Bonus Rooms”. I’ve listened to the Sokhar recording and I had to make myself listen to the whole thing. I don’t understand the mindset where you would want to get people on comms and make them do stupid shit or humiliate themselves for laughs, then making the recording public. Yes, I enjoy screwing with people IN game but I’ve always felt that getting someone on comms to keep screwing  with them is childish and immature. That’s why I had a hard time listening to the Sokhar recordings.

James also goes on to try and speculate the actions that took place that got people banned. I doubt CCP is ever going to say. If CCP were to give reasons it would be drawing that clear line that James and the others want so badly. CCP Falcon said the following:

What we will do, is continue to use best judgment on a case by case basis to ensure that real life harassment is kept out of the game, and ensure that those who choose to involve themselves in such activities are no longer permitted to be part of our community.

Sounds to me like CCP used their best judgment on an issue they felt was Real Life Harassment. Will we ever know what that issue is? No we won't. Why is it so hard for James and Co. to understand CCP doesn’t want you doing douchebag things to each other outside of the game?? It affects public perception and CCP’s wallet.

Special NOTE. I approached this entire subject from a marketing/advertising stance as that is what I know. I wont even approach the possible legal ramifications CCP may have had to deal with as I am NOT qualified.

This, That.... and Veers.

I was over at Denialbumping and Denial 315 and his merry band of delusional idiot’s (they call themselves writers..HA!)are at it again. 

Denial 315's latest post is about The Anti-Ganking channel in which I am one of the mods. Denial 315 starts the post with saying”It is a troubling place. From within this channel, the perspective of EVE is so twisted as to make the game almost unrecognizable.” Denial 315 then goes on to say “The rebellion is continually strangled by paranoia.”

This is just more proof that Denial 315 has lost his grip. Um… We’re playing EVE you fool. Paranoia is part of the game play.

I constantly hear Denial 315 and his Code-Monkeys talking about how toxic the Anti-Ganking community is. What Denial 315 and his butt kissers refuse to admit or acknowledge is they create a lot of that hostility and anger and AG is left the deal with it.

Eve is about doing what you want within the rules of the game. If someone wants to log in and mine all day so they can build ships and modules I have no problem with that.  I don’t enjoy mining or building things personally, but I don’t try and judge others for doing it. Someone has to build the ships I lose in a glorious fire.

From day one, my biggest problem with Denial 315 and his butt smoochers has been they go around blowing up people and then with the CODE Smug asshole attitude, they tell those players; PLAY THE GAME HOW WE WANT YOU TO PLAY…. OR LEAVE EVE.

My initial reaction to CODE trying to tell people how to play EVE was FUCK THAT! It continues to be..FUCK THAT!

So I can understand why AG can be toxic and full of angry people. AG does the best it can dealing with CODE’s Victims and we try and help as many as we can.

Maybe if Denial 315’s butt smoocher’s actually tried to help some of their victims and teach them without the  typical smug asshole CODE attitude things could be different.

This next part has to do with an incident in the AG channel the other day.

Some of you may know Veers Belvar and some may not. I’ve sat back and watched Veers make endless comments over at Denialbumping for over a month. At that time I was happy to let him worry the ever living crap out of CODE with his endless inane posts.

Sadly Veers reared his braying head in AG a while back and the other day I got enough of it. Veers is an incursion runner and has done nothing to fight code except for braying loudly at CODE and CCP.

The other day Veers was being his usual negative self and pissing off most of the AG channel. Veers believes CCP should nerf BUMPING. That makes about as much sense to me as the Ganking is Bullying Crowd. Most of you know what I thought of those idiots.

Veers seems to think that Concord should respond to bumping.( Hold on, every time I read that I start laughing so hard I can’t type.)

Can you just imagine the clusterfuck and tidi that would cause at the trade hubs? LMAO.

Sadly Veers wasn’t joking and continued argue and to piss off everyone in AG so I gagged him. He later posted the on Denialbumping:

As far as Gorilla, he was insulted after I outdebated him.

Let’s clear this up shall we? Veers, the only thing that insulted me was your endless negative braying at everyone in the channel. You “outdebated” NO ONE.

I’ll make this simple for you. When I see evidence of you doing something OTHER than run your negative mouth when it comes to helping to fight CODE? Then perhaps I’ll listen to what you have to say.

Fly Safe Highsec.!

Breaking News

Some of you may have never heard of Butthurt Miner but he’s the KING TROLL over at Minerbumping.com and he’s also a special correspondent for Gankerbumping.

Over the past months of writing Gankerbumping and poking fun at CODE, Butthurt has been instrumental on getting me inside info on James 315 and CODE. What the folks at Minerbumping don’t realize is that Butthurt is also an accomplished master spy. 

He’s infiltrated CODE headquarters many times and even used James toilet. Butthurt has admitted to me he likes to use the curtains in James' bedroom as TP. I'm scared to think about what else he’s been up to…

I recently received a package from Butthurt with info on JAMES 315 and Code I’d like to share with my readers. I’ve long suspected that James doesn’t actually write his own blog anymore and Butthurt has finally gotten me proof.

The following is footage of James 315’s Blog being written and it’s obviously NOT James 315.

Butthurt also got amazing footage of James 315 ACTUALLY UNDOCKING from Kino. This is a rare event indeed!

They may not appreciate Butthurt Miner over at Minerbumping. But we at Gankerbumping love him.

Thanks for the amazing rare images BM!

CODE is Recruiting!

I haven’t been able to play as much but I’ve been keeping an eye on the idiots over at Minerbumping. Since the bans went down it’s been business as usual over there…. 110% DENIAL.

I guess James 315 or whoever is phoning his blog in thinks if you don’t talk or write about it, it never happened. I hear CCP is still flying butterfly nets around Kino trying to capture his delusional ass but as he never logs in they haven’t been able to capture and study him yet.

I am happy to see Butthurt Miner is still posting on Minerbumping as hes one of the few to post something called the truth at them.

I had words with Rabe Raptor the other night in local. If you don’t know Rabe, you can find him on my Killboard. Sadly, Concord chose to whore on some of those killmails. Quite frankly I’m getting tired of it and wish they would stop.

Rabe was posting his Blog "www.lawofhighsec.com" and I was posting Gankerbumping back at him. For fun I clicked on what he was posting and CODE/ Conference Elite is recruiting. Isn't that odd?? Don’t they have enough numbers anymore??

So there is a long drawn out application process over there but I think I can save The Conference Elite some time.

Here’s what CODE needs to fill its ranks back up…

Neckbeard:

A socially inept individual. Smug/self-important for no reason, or shy unless with fellow Neckbeards. When spoken to, will quickly reveal extremely limited social experience. To a normal person they will be definitively near-autistic.

Visual cues:

1. Fedora.

2. Trenchcoat.

3. Overdressed.

3. Greasy hair

4. Ponytail.

5. Acne at any age.

6. Dyed hair.

7. Shitty beard.

8. Pedostache.

9. Wears all black.

10. Wears all red.

11. Odd eye behavior, similar to low self esteem (avoiding, darting, or over-compensational staring).

12. Hand placement. Instead of pockets, usually leave them at sides or cross them.

You can assume:

- virgin

- furry

- live in their parent's basement

- only watch anime

- only read manga

- inflated, hollow self esteem

- will laugh at things that aren’t very funny

- will NOT understand the Neckbeard concept

- bronie

- hasn’t bathed in days, and if you get close, you can confirm, but if you do they will think you're making a sexual pass at them and excrete more stench.

- willingness to blindly follow a delusional blog writer and kiss his ass hourly.

So if you know any die hard neckbeards, please refer them to Loyalmoron and Rabe.

Fly Safe Highsec!

We interrupt..

We interrupt your regular programming for a special announcement...

I logged in tonight and thought it was my Birthday! I don't usually post kills and whatnot but I thought all of AG should see this.

 I was then shown this..

Is it Christmas?
I'm told code went running from Uedama with tails tucked between their legs. HAHAHA! and I missed it. :(

I've also been meaning to post the following, Jennifer En Marland and Lilynndria Satele  have been tear assing around sticking it to Code Bumpers left and right. I proudly present the following Killmail...

Another Bumper down!

and..

Seems Jennifer's Bite is much worse than Chihuahua Soprano's bark!

WOW!

Code always wins huh?
hahahahahahahahaha.

I may be out of a job….

If you haven’t heard CCP handed out Bans yesterday and from what I’m hearing CODE was decimated. I was waiting for Minerbumping to make an official statement. I think James 315’s head may have exploded trying to figure out a way to spin this. I expect him to blame Ripard Teg for EVERYTHING.

I want you to understand that what I’m posting isn’t official in anyway. What I’m reporting comes from CODE insiders and reddit posts which I will be linking. I was told that right before yesterday’s DT the bans took effect.

The following appeared on the EVE forums yesterday after DT. (You can click on the images to see them larger)

Here’s the link << click

I find the comments in the Forums to be like FOX/FAUX News. The President makes a statement and for hours people argue over what he said. CCP Falcon made one further comment.

Let me say I love the irony in this.  James was singing CCP Falcons praises not so long ago and declaring him a supporter of the CODE. You can read it HERE. Wonder how much James 315 Loves CCP Falcon NOW? Karma is a real bitch, ain’t she James?

Several posts appeared on reddit, here’s the LINK.

It seems that people who involved themselves in Bonus Rooms were permabanned from EVE. If you’re not familiar with what a BONUS ROOM  is, please click HERE.

I’m hoping that MB will post an official list of who is gone. At this time reports vary. I know people like D400, Jerry Rin, Bob Starseeker, and Fighter Jets Guitar Solo are gone from the game. I was told that DJ was banned, but after contacting DJ, that report proved to be false. (Sorry Kalynn)

I want to make one further statement. I’ve seen some people crying about what CCP has done in the past. I’ve played this game for 7 years and I’ve learned in RL that when new management comes in, new polices take effect. EVE has changed a lot over the years and so has CCP. I support what CCP Falcon said. RL harassment has no place in eve.

Fly Safe Highsec!
