Official Home of the New Order of Highsec
Not everyone is happy with me.
Some people don’t like my friends.
I don’t understand why.
Is there something wrong?
Maybe they are just lonely.
We all miss James.
I’m sure he will return, any day now.
Meanwhile, I think he would be proud of what I’ve done.
At least, I’m not docked up in Poinen.
Right?
When I log in, people seem to notice.
It’s not easy… gankin, bloggin, and lookin so fine.
I couldn’t do it without my friends.
I’m just a petite girl, here to save the galaxy (again).
Of course, the New Order has a lot of other great people.
However, I mostly just love myself.
There’s no I in team, but there is a me, and that a stands for Aiko!
I miss you Daddy.
I’m such a good Princess.
Check out the hook, while my DJ revolves it.
Welcome back, Ralliana.
As you can see, I moved the community to Safety.
Frankly, I had a lot of help from Lewak.
James. Friend. You can’t go AFK, and let a bottle of booze run your alliance.
So don’t blame shift at me. I didn’t want this. I loved CODE.
Super cringe.
Be careful!
He’s literally an idiot, irl, fyi.
However, even Super can see the problem with James.
An AFK saviour is no saviour at all.
He ignored Globby.
He even ignored the #1 PvP champion of all time.
Loyal wasn’t bluffing.
James forced a fateful decision.
Sometimes, we need new leadership.
That’s right.
Many people say that I am sensational.
Others think I’m just a nice lady.
One thing is crystal clear.
The law is immutable.
Your consent is not required.
Thanks for understanding.
Be well. o7
Hey, everybody, it’s me – AikO! Hiya.
It’s hard to blog, and drink at the same time.
That’s right.
I’m just a silly girl, not a real man like James 315.
Here’s a funny thought.
The New Order belongs to me…
…and I know exactly how to proceed.
I’ll see you in Hek!
Just admit it, you love me.
You know what I want.
Miners are super confused.
Hey, I love to help.
I am the most nicest girl in the galaxy.
Totes deserve my own alliance.
Like, I’m so gonna win….
…and I’m bringing all my friends with me.
To be continued…
Apparently, I’m the legendary heroin who finally brought it down. Antigankers couldn’t do it, and only the Code has the power to defeat the CODE.
We aren’t getting a divorce, because I’m a space Catholic, but we’ve moved into opposite sides of the house and are dividing assets. James will retain his inactive membership, and I’ll take the future. Of course, if you want to join New Order Logistics, you can still roleplay in the theme park. However, the rest of the alliance is hereby dissolved.
This is happening. It is done.
I tried my best to keep the alliance together, but James (in his infinite wisdom) has decided to trigger an irreparable failure cascade. I won’t even pretend to praise this judgment, and I must instead acknowledge reality. It’s time for some real talk.
James 315 has never been to outerspace. Neither have I. It’s important (always!) to recognize the fundamental difference between the game and reality. For example, in real-life, I am a Princess and my daddy’s lawyers can destroy your whole family. However, in-game, I sometimes have to deal with common plebs. In the same way, James is a great guy in real-life, but neither perfect nor divine in a video game.
James is the Saviour of Highsec, that is true. He saved it for ME. Thanks James!
He understands the people need something he can’t provide.
I know gankbears are angry at me, but everyone else is in agreement, a course correction is necessary. James also agrees with me. He despises idle sycophants who endlessly praise him without merit. He is disgusted by AFK non-undocking carebear roleplayers. He is sorely disappointed by his most devout followers.
The cult of personality was a powerful tool, and James used the doctrine of infallibility to ensure success. However, propaganda inevitably undermines internal decision making policies. We must end this madness.
Isolated in his bubble, James drifted away from reality. We shouldn’t cast judgment here, and no disrespect is intended, but dictatorships fail for precisely this reason. He was a strong independent man, but he spent a little too much time secluded in his dacha. I will let Nikita Khruschev explain the situation:
While ascribing great importance to the role of the leaders and organizers of the masses, Lenin stigmatized every manifestation of the cult of the individual. Stalin acted not through persuasion, explanation, and patient cooperation with people, but by imposing his concepts and demanding absolute submission to his opinion. Whoever opposed this was doomed.
We must first of all show everyone what harm this caused to the interests of our party. There is no more bitter misery than to sit in the jail of a government for which we have always fought. We have to analyze this matter carefully because it has a tremendous significance, not only from the historical but especially from the political, educational, and practical point of view…
Stalin doubtless performed great services to the party. However, he was excessively extolled. Our historical victories were attained thanks to the organizational work of the party, and to the self-sacrificing work of our great people. They are not at all the fruit of the leadership of Stalin. Can we deny this?
Many (many) crimes were committed in the name of James, as his absent leadership allowed corrupt roleplay bureaucrats to undermine the alliance. Competent and highly esteemed gankers, such as Alt 00, were brutally persecuted. Meanwhile, antigankers (and even miners) were allowed to walk free, protected by those who would loudly praise James. This is unacceptable. Enough is enough.
With all due respect to James 315, we cannot and will not maintain a successful alliance based upon the cult adulation of an individual who no longer plays the game. We will not allow our alliance to be mismanaged, like an AFK Orca on autopilot. We like James, and we love James, but he is gone. We are a glorious democratic people’s republic, and the shareholders have now elected me to represent you. This is neither what I wanted, nor what I expected, but I am happy to serve the people.
James, call me, you owe me $20.
EMERGENCY ALERT
That’s right, the fun police are here. Dock up!
***
You know, back when I dated James, he caught me hustling Krig. Ok! So things were SUPER awkward. It got even more weird, after I formed the most successful World of Warcraft griefing new player assistance guild. We broke up eventually, but stayed in touch, and James knew exactly whom he wanted to expand his glorious EVE Online empire. There was only one problem. Can I be trusted not to just seduce men, take their stuff, and act really vain and self-centered? I mean, like, yah, of course.
Calm down boys.
Ok, look, here’s what we are gonna do.
Once you invite a woman into your house…
…she’s gonna re-decorate.
Oh! Hello there, I didn’t see you come in. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is not important but this is the official website of the New Order of High Sec, a movement dedicated to restoring reason and dignity to the lives of highsec miners. You may be wondering where Princess Aiko is – haha, a fantastic question if I ever heard one! Aiko is just sleeping in today, last night she was complaining about feeling flush in the face and mentioned she’d take the day off – I chalk it up to too much eggnog over the holidays.
Since Aiko is sleeping though I’ll take this opportunity to share a story with you, dear reader. A long time ago, way back in 2017 in fact, the second longest ever-published story, 45 parts, Code Ready Gelhan began premiering on minerbumping.com, the former official website of the New Order of High Sec.
At the conclusion of that story many wondered what happened next? After all, somehow Mission Ready Mining saw a precipitous decline in membership shortly thereafter. Reader, I’m prepared to now tell you the story of Code Ready Gelhan, Season 2. Season 2 will be an exploration of the consequences of hubris, a story of betrayal, a story of alliances and kingmakers, but most of all it will be a story about Tweeps and Kalorned – you may remember them as two of the most time honored agents of The Code there ever was.
I do sincerely hope reader that you enjoy the coming season of Code Ready Gelhan. Before we begin let me begin with some important context.
To be continued…
The latest breaking Highsec news. Read all about it!
Miner Khatoum was eager to attract subscribers, and what could be more exciting than watching his spaceship explode? Khatoum was so shocked, his hand hovered in space for a long time. He wasn’t especially mad at Nitetime Video, but let lose a string of f-bombs when he heard about a c-word princess.
Here’s a mining joke:
Haha, very funny miners.
In other news, Brisc Rubal doubled down on being utterly obtuse.
Hellokittyonline made a reasonable request. Did you know, suspects can be attacked by anyone and everyone? Wouldn’t the game be more fun, if suspects could form fleets, and work together with friends? Is there any reason that they must always be alone? I remember, a long time ago, I thought neutral logi support was the dumbest thing. However, I didn’t realize that logi also went suspect, and could be attacked and killed. So how is that unfair play? It sounds like a great way to generate fleet content in Highsec.
Since I killed kitty’s Phantasm, I’m a credible source in regard to whether his playstyle is ‘overpowered’. Without CONCORD protection, he is exposed and vulnerable. Why shouldn’t suspects utilize remote support, what’s wrong with that? If you attack a suspect, you should be prepared to fight their friends.
I can’t imagine a more asinine response. Just in case you aren’t clear on the rules of this game, the suspect cannot engage a target UNLESS the target shoots them. By definition, suspects are only engaging targets that fight back.
I don’t think Brisc cares about Highsec. Should CCP delete it?
Before long, Brisc began insisting suspect baiters “never” lose ships, and he even claimed that I have only lost two ships. Ever.
It’s ok to say stupid things, but come on Brisc… you just jumped the shark.
Brisc insists suspect baiting is bullying and griefing, unfair plane which should be nerfed out of existence. It’s ‘overpowered’ when Krig Povelli has a lone Nergal, and offers to simultaneously duel every other player in the game. Meanwhile, Brisc led a taskforce of three Nergals and dozens of assault frigates, to dunk a hapless procurer. You tell me? Who is actually attacking ships that can’t shoot back?
Brisc claims to be an expert on ganking. He knows we ‘never’ lose, and never take fights unless we are 100% sure to win.
I’ll tell you what, I’ve seen a lot of ganks go wrong. I don’t know what 315 would call it, when my Catalyst explodes, and miners are laughing. I call it defeat. In fact, I’m never sure I’ll be able to kill a Venture. It might have shields, it might be moving, it might have antiganking support, and there’s faction police and CONCORD. Also, Catalysts cost money, and most ganks result in a net loss. However, Brisc believes I’ve only lost two spaceships, and I never lose. I wish I was as good as Brisc believes.
I wanted to know where Brisc developed his intimate understanding of ganking. Here I am, just a lowly CODE. princess, but the great Brisc Rubal is lecturing me on the ganking mindset. What does he know? How?
Brisc has participated in 21 ganks. Wow!
Here’s what MiniLuv had to say about his participation.
It’s cool to disagree, and even be totally wrong, but seriously. Sometimes, it’s ok to admit that you don’t know what you are talking about.
Every now and again, as the official Saviourette of the New Order, and High Queen Regent of Highsec, Princess Aiko wonders whether she is a good girl. Are we truly helping these poor miners, or are we just destroying their last barge, after they’ve already lost everything in real-life? Is it cruel to put them out of their misery?
Most carebears live in a nightmarish post-Soviet apocalyptic wasteland, where lights are constantly flickering, and they can barely stay logged in long enough to complete a single mining cycle. Is it wrong to euthanize them?
Of course, I am the heroin of Highsec. However, a few crabs believe I am evil, in real-life. They even use real-life cellphones to warn each other.
Most people see me as a fun sexy James 315, wearing a tiara whilst clubbing in Monaco. They watch me take shots of cranberry vodka, and adore my tight leather miniskirts. However, some conspiracy theorists claim that Aiko is a witch, spreading darkness throughout the galaxy. She might be cute, but she’s evil!
Yes, Aiko is a Princess, but she’s also one of those southern Italian stregas. A goomah with a villa in Naples, who goes on ‘business trips’ to Albania.
It’s ok to extort newbros in nullsec, but to do it in Highsec? Santo cielo!
Over on Facebook, there’s a lot of concern about what is happening. What will we do if all the Highsec miners quit, because of mean space bullies?
Apparently, we are killing it!
This is how it happens. An AFK miner returned to their computer, and realized they don’t enjoy EVE. Just like that, CCP lost another free to play ‘customer’.
It was one of those melodramatic Shakespearean deaths, where Fiona lingered on stage, slowly dying amidst the mockery of the audience.
Goodbye, Fiona. Thank you for your mining service.
I’m a winner!
Ciao!
