The Code oppose legal highs in DISO

[SoulTechnology]

so i think i got it figured. the code isn't a pirate faction (as they may or may not of stated if i can remember), instead they appear to be a 'anti-community goal' group. possibly secretly supported by the Dev team if there truly receiving funding from in-game factions as they are not a technical faction and can't really receive direct support from ingame resources overall

additional/alternatively there a roleplaying group and everything i just said might as well eb treason for thinking 'outside the game'.

EDIT:

On most occasions we only ask for a small amount of your cargo. If interdicted on this occasion you have three choices.
1 Drop all of your cargo and live.
2 Drop non of your cargo , run and be killed.
3 Combat log and be reported and put on our KOS list.

another alternative: you guys aren't going for the community goal directly, your just roleplaying'ish and getting SOMETHING out of it by acting as pirates and still letting the goal continue, and the initial thread was a load of .

Bah, too far away for me to care. Have fun trying to stop production of what amounts to truffles.

Black pirates are all the same.

Anyone able to find any reference that the corn dust is a legal high of any kind? my understanding is that it is a treat as described, not actually having any real long term effect other then the initial taste/effect or such, and there are a lot of foods where chef treats exist in one way or another, so just wondering about the statement?
Kinda like the tobacco and other kinds of stuff that can be sniffed/snorted? genuinely wondering here.

Or maybe elaborate on what your whole standing point is on this kind of thing?

First they take your money.
Then they take your land.
Then they come for your fun.

When will you say "STOP!"?

Join the AEDC, take back Leesti for the Alliance.

Just arrived in Leesti yesterday, time to cut my Vultures teeth on Code blood! Happy to Wing up with anyone needing escorts etc

Code against Marmite!

Stop coercion? This world is about coercion. Society coerces you to believe in a morality to begin with if we want to talk philosophy and political theory. Now you are measuring that morality believing in non-coercion against another? What?

As for your comment on our handling with the drugs, you may accuse however you want, and I won't stop you.

As for the travel pass option, if anything it presents our seriousness and determination. Also, we have the right to define the the content of the travel pass. Under the special circumstance of a CG, the pass has a different definition.

If you dislike that, then you must dislike any EULA/Terms of Service/Terms of Users. Since they all utilize this method to withhold the final right to define their service.

How many of those have you signed up for? That's right, countless of them, why aren't you complaining to those?

You have a very broad interpretation of the meaning of the word "coercion"

You can evade Code pilots easy enough. They tend not to interdict bigger ships and some even run from the smaller ships. Cowardly group who shall be brought to heel just like the Alliance.

I have had the pleasure to get interdicted by CODE earlier in Diso, and I must say, I should read the forums more.
I wasn't doing the CG at the moment (who can say no to that kind of money), but I was flying around and my little sidey looking at stuff, when up comes this guy with a massive bounty on his head.
Well I got curious, so I circled him for a bit and he interdicted me. He did his RP spiel (and it was quite cool). I submitted and killed my engines. Although I suck at pressing buttons so I accidentally boost all over the place.
We talked for a bit, and I asked him about some of the stuff that was happening, and he basically told me not to fly around the system with an interdictor and a kill warrent scanner.
The only thing I didn't like about our little talk and your policies was the fact, that you said I should play in solo or group instead of open. To a new player, that is like saying, you don't want me in your game, which actually hurts a little.


All in all, it was a good experience for me. Thank you CMDR Gluttony Fang for a great encounter, and I hope more people will be like you.

He may have mean't it for your safety i.e. there are plenty of other players who will just kill a little ship for kicks..

 

[Jason Pegasi]

Did we put a gun to your head and told you to sign up and pay for it? No, there are options of actions and consequences that follow them respectively.

You're pirates.

Yes, you basically hypothetically did that. The option was buy it or be a target. I never purchased your protection, but I'm fairly certain that your "EULA" argument doesn't hold up when you drop your service altogether. Also, it's not really a valid argument because EULA is a user license agreement made after you purchase a product and receive the product you purchased. They aren't receiving the product they purchased if they paid for protection from you and you void the travel passes because " it, we're bored". Nice try but that's not at all like an EULA.

 

[Star-Hunter]

CODE:

claiming to fight against tyranny ---> then demand the payment for a "pass" otherwise face destruction by their "authority"

declaring governments and corporations as a disease feeding on humanity ----> then confirming that they are working for "Reinhardt Intelisys" as mercenaries.


So far every action taken and post made (in this thread and the whole forum) by code were so hypocritical and ironic it hurts my brain.

lol what? We take everything including Conda's, but I guess you're right, we haven't interdicted and pulled over a Capital Ship yet....

I know a lot of you guys like to huff and puff and blow hot air all over the place, but you could at least try and be accurate.

You ppl are well known cowards so ...

No you don't you run away from ToC members because there always recording all the stuff you pulled, Mr S7 ran away from us having a laugh and drunk in Cobra's.

 

[Philip Coutts]

I like the Code. They role play and make the game interesting. Yes they can be a bit naughty but hey it makes things interesting.

 

[I_Am_Static]

Yeah? I hear we mug old ladies and set fire to kittens as well, but as is typical with hearsay, results generally vary when witnessing for yourself in person.

No you don't you run away from ToC members because there always recording all the stuff you pulled, Mr S7 ran away from us having a laugh and drunk in Cobra's.

I don't believe I've ran away from ToC, but if you can provide some evidence of that, I'll be interested to see it....

We have however been told by bosses to completely ignore the existence of ToC, I suggest you speak to them about why if you're really that interested, but it certainly has little to do with your 'skill'.

 

[Controlledpress]

i love the last one if you combat log you'll be reported and added to THIER KOS list.

given the fact of late EVERY code ship thats tried to stop me on anything got their butt handed to them and they combat logged im amazed you have canasters to even suggest that third option. hypocritical much their mr PR pirate man. id really suggest rethinking your role play announcements especially after you've seen what your "members" generally get up to. just sayin!


*incidentally the threads are a nice read but not very accurate of late*

LOL, that's exactly what i've seen. Me and a friend play in the same room on occasion. We've had between us 5 "incidences" with CODE, and they combat log every time.

Please provide evidence and Code CMDR names on our enjin forum, we as a collective group despise combat logging, so we would act against a member or members of our own group who actually have done this. What's getting irritating lately is having people say stuff like this but amazingly don't remember any CMDR names or any other details and are just creating hearsay. I haven't once witnessed a Code member combat log, but I'd be pretty vocal about it if I did.

I doubt any of those 5 instances were with Code at all. One of the last guys to try and create some Anti-Code thread calling us all station rammers and cheats etc was later proven to be grossly incorrect when it turned out he was being trolled by Itchy and Cawkstrangla who were shouting that they were Code members whilst station ramming. Half the reason we're demonised as huge griefers in the game is because of false accusations like this which everyone decides to parrot and later cite as if it's fact.

Oddly enough, like every other player, we're trying to enjoy the game in a legitimate career field FD have allowed us to play; the only people ruining the game are those who are trying to crush and squeeze any kind of player freedom that doesn't match this truckers in space ideology and dares to infringe on another players gameplay. If we were seen as a huge problem, a bunch of cheaters, scum whatever, we wouldn't have made it onto official Galnet in game so many times, so don't expect us to be shadowbanned just because you can't stomach a pirate group.

Well, I suppose the pity is mutual. If this is turning into a demeaning contest, all the merrier.

Bully is someone who is more true to its instincts than the rest and have the bravery to overcome societal expectations and standards. Do not attempt to play the game of rationalization with me, I'm sure if you are perceptive, you already know the outcome of it.

Honestly, you're really good. You've got that sort of verbose, pseudo-analytical, totalitarian dictatorial patois down to a "T". Did you take some drama lessons perhaps?

Oh! That's really you! My word! Diso must be enjoying a huge upsurge in political satire right now.

I must drop by.

Teetotaling pirates... Now I've seen everything... No wonder you always seem so mad, you fail every operation you set forth to complete, and you can't even get drunk/high afterwards? Ouch. Back in my day pirates cared only about three things, the Loot, the Debauchery, and the Stars. Now we have teetotaling pirates...
