I must be mad but... long live Code!

A grain of sand is dropped from a great height onto a still pond of water from the hands of a furry one eyed Lion.
As it breaks through the surface ripples begin to flow outwards covering the once clear surface.
As they reach the side of the pond they are compelled to return to the centre creating more ripples as they collide with each other.
The once still pond is now awash with ripples reflecting off of each other, what was once calm is now a stormy sea.
As time slips by the ripples loose energy & momentum, they die down until all again is calm & still.
The grain of sand gently settles on the bottom of the pond with the rest of its kind. “Did I cause that?” wonders the grain of sand, chuckling to itself.


This is Code.


You have been asked to buy some beer from the shop for a friend.
He's going to pay you £10 for the beer but it will only cost you £7.50. Profit!
On the drive to you're friends with the beer three cars begin following you.
Eventually one pulls up in-front of you blocking you're path. The other two form a box around the car keeping you blocked in.
The chap from the lead car comes over to your window & asks “Can we have some beer please or we will kill you.”


This is Code.


Walking home one night you are approached by another person, he says nothing despite you saying “Hello!”
Suddenly you get hit over the head with a lead pipe.
The next you know you're in hospital.


This is Code.


Over the last 30 days I have taken a 'break' from the forums but I kept on reading each & every thread but found that only one group makes for entertaining threads. Code.


These simple words “Please sir can I have some stuff for free” are words that strike terror into the hearts of players, forum readers go insane & the player base runs around like headless chickens. A few try to band together to beat back the petty thieves but always with a lack of gusto or enthusiasm from the outraged masses.


I am one of the players who wanted them gone, was prepared to battle their minor faction in solo but I am now in favour of the Code's activities... I get bored at work & enjoy reading the drama, its funnier than project creep reports or reading the same arguments over again, not that these should stop as new players join the game all the time & have the right to debate these topics just as much as you did back when time began.


Over to you Code monkies, I await the next chapter of drama & counter point by the furry amateur psychologist/word-smith who will no doubt be undermined by the voice of hubris & supported by the one eyed Lion who made this whole enjoyable mess possible.


As for me, I promise to keep poking you with a big stick at every opportunity & who knows, I may even come into open more during CG's just to see what PvP is all about ;)

To the leaders of other player groups, take note of how Code have become almost part of the games lore... You could too!


TL:DR – Code are funny, our reactions are funnier. Long live Code – dirty scum bag thieves!
 
In other words, what you're *really* saying is that The Code is so untrustworthy you can't trust em to go buy you beer and come back with the change?

I took it to mean that HE can't be trusted to go buy a beer and bring back the change, and he says Code are the bad guys?
 
And here they go again, boasting on themselves on the Forums...

Indeed, isn't it amazing how, when there has been no mention for a few days, suddenly, out of the blue, relating to nothing, another CODE thread pops up, I'm sure the OP will protest his/her innocence and all that but I'm a cynical old git and any pleas would be wasted on me. Reeks of another, 'we can't be off the front page of the forums for more than 2 days' PR stunt, (and I use that term very loosely).

PERSONAL OPINION ONLY - IF ANY OF THE ABOVE OFFENDS YOU THERE IS PROBABLY AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH IN MY WORDS
 
A poetic imagery for "stirring up trouble".

A definition of "street harrassment & armed robbery".

A short description of "assault and/or attempted murder".

Glorification of criminal and borderline psychotic antisocial behavior.

This is disturbing.

Yeah... because the post is about a videogame...

Get off your high horse and go back to college, I hear your psych prof calling with some bad news...

Ahahaha...

Wait...

I think what's disturbing is that people cannot stow their moral judgement in a video game that allows and advertise amoral behaviors, but meh, opinions.

Is OP actually a member of CODE, or is this another case of Stockholm Syndrome?

Either case. He's not on our member list, and he has never been robbed by us .-.

I think.

I don't care because i play solo mode, but i would apreciate an answer to my previos three questions.
Thank you in advance Sir Geldi.

The Code is a pirate group, and they also have an NCP faction in the game as well since 1.4 added those, they aren't the only player group with an NCP faction ingame now, with more to come. Somewhere around here there is an application thread for that purpose...
 
I am not a member of Code or any other group.
But it is funny to read the posts from those who think I am!

I am just merely pointing out what an impact they have had within the game (For better or for worse) and it's community and how I now expect every CG to have an element of Code involved in some way along with an increasing number of other player groups.

I am quite sure that if I did apply to join them I would not be accepted, there are to many forum posts by me against them plus I currently suck at PvP becuase I mainly play solo! :p
 
well this seems like a thread that would get the attention of the Code, I am writing an Elite fan-fic short story. First five chapters of which are available in my signature, so you can download and read it on your device instead of online, which I will probably also make available on a blog.

Since I'm a player, my book has a lot of themes from in the game, and I am going to feature the code in it. I'd like to get in contact with one of their higher ups to ask him a few questions, and put a few scenarios to him, so they come across in the book, as in the game.
