I personally like what the code adds to the game, even if what you said is true. In the real world not everyone is nice, and they don't play fair. They're pirates! Since when do pirates have to be honorable? They can be, but it's not necessary. Groups like the code make the Galaxy seem more alive if you ask me
No honor in CODE?

I agree completely. Pirates are part of the game and without them the game would lose some of its "liveliness".
My point is not about the worth of various game elements.
If the game devolves into: "You can take me at my word as long as the sounds from it are emanating. After the sound of my words are gone, well then,,,,,, so much for those words."
The rest becomes obvious.
See Answers to Usual Questions 1-4. I doubt this will appease your Holmsian beard stroking. I'd love to say more but I've just come back from a week's ban for offending the sensibilities of others.

I am asking to take my OC word as Jp from Bolton who doesn't, in his spare time, steal cargo from traders in a space ship because of the real world cost and paperwork.
In game, please distrust me as much as you like. But I am giving my OC, in real life word that I am not affiliated with EVE CODE and I am willing to swear on GF's, my children's and my parent's life that this is so.
This is not an IC forum, so I would have hoped that I wouldn't need to point out the difference between Out of Character and In Character statements of truth. Pro Tip; When I speak IC there are a lot more, Yarrs! and Shiver me timbers!

Empathy? It's a game. There's no more harm in shooting down your ship than in capturing your rook, taking your money when you land on Park Place, etc. They all can be annoying when they happen to you, but losing is part of gaming - it shouldn't be taken so seriously.
I always assumed CODE was a reference to Pirates Code rather than another group/game
Presumably because Eve isn't the be all and end of names?
I can only reply on google to find names of Eve groups but there seems to be a lot and little information on them
Are you saying that no one anywhere else can ever use any of those names for their own use in other games?
A lot of them seem pretty Generic Space names, and if you have never played Eve how are you supposed to know that the group you want to start has the name "Latin Motto" name as another group in Eve
I am sure Code got a forum where the OP could have posted his misgivings with some of their members. The game do not have rules of engagement. If a group do, and their members do not follow them, then that is a matter for the victim, the members in question and the group leadership. It's not a matter for the ED forum. It can even be construed as naming and shaming, not individuals which is forbidden in the forum rules, but rather smearing a group, in this case Code.
(FYI: I got no affiliation with or connections to Code - just talking from general principle here.)
On a sidenote... Trust a gang of known pirates?! How gullible can one be?

Principles and honor (and similarly, rules) hold the same value in games or real life from my perspective.
Out of courtesy to you, I will save you asking me the question by answering ahead of time: Yes I understand the difference between a game and real life. I have been attacked, robbed and killed in this game as well as others. I do not hold those events in the same light as I would in real life.
I have on occasion lost my temper and verbally lashed out at other players during the course of gameplay. Every time that has occurred I have reached out to the player who was the recipient of that and apologized via PM. And I have saluted or congratulated them on the event.
If your perspective of truth and honor in life and games differs from mine, I will not argue nor debate who has the proper view. You have yours and I have mine. Both have validity and merit.
And I salute you for openly suggesting not to trust you in the game. I suggest others heed your word,,,,,,,,,,,
NOTE: added "in the game" to the last line that regarded trust. My apologies for making such a blanket statement that could be mis interpreted as a general one.

I dont think that the Code of ED and the Code of Eve are the same. Actually I would be very pleased if they were, but in reality they are different things, as far as I see it. The code in eve, much hated, often respected and certainly feared had a mission. That was to kick carebares in the head until they saw that the actual game took place outside of highsec. Now granted many players didn't want or heed that message, but as far as game mechanics went, Code added a lot to the dreary miners life. I know this because i was a dreary miner.
As for Elite, I applaud any player created group that draws a line in the sand. Are some of them idiots? Undoubtedly, but at least they are trying. Pirate wings leave me with a bad taste in the mouth, but ED needs a bogeyman and if these guys want to take on that mantle then thats great. Think of it as unpaid DLC.

Except that if it were really a living, breathing universe, anyone who behaved like that wouldn't remain living and breathing for very long.
I can only reiterate the words 'Roleplaying' until one of our heads explodes. I think mine will go first, I'm getting one of my headaches.
Since roleplaying is not the sole point of my post, I agree you should let it go.
And to be clear: I was referring to your trust in-game. My apologies for not specifying that. I will amend my former post.
Apology accepted and offered for my sharp tone.

The only reason to play in Open is to grief. Just play solo m8.
Thank you. Accepted as well. I will look at the posts as an exchange of passionately held views.
Fly well Cmdr...
Wonderful. Finally head to a different space game to avoid some of the complaints I have with Eve (mostly with development directions in the UI), and find... CODE'ers are already here. >.<
Looks like a lot of Solo fly time until I figure out where some buddies are at for their Private crews.
