Now, now, no need to talk of violence. I am sure, as he follows CODE, he will avoid any such violation and will pay his fee like a good little drone. ---

If you want to interpret that as you being safe, then go right ahead, if that helps you to avoid worrying your pretty little head. _Pat Pat_ ---

CODE. didn’t exist when the New Order was founded. By design, minerbumping refers to the New Order and the Code itself. That of course has changed a bit since the creation of the alliance, but the goal is to be welcoming and not get into alliance politics. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t James’ corp not even in CODE. for a period? Black Skull and Loyalanon managed it for the early years. I’m not sure what has happened since 2015. ---

@Genarth_Pueciuos I tried reading through that page of nonsense, but I couldn’t get through it. Could you try condensing it a bit and maye making it less boring and stupid? Also confirming that Experimental Funtimes Corp was not a member of the CODE. Alliance for the longest time. The Alliance, as I recall, was really only created so that those of us who wanted to could pool our killmails. CODE. Really is rather irrelevant to the New Order movement. The best thing about CODE. was that we used it to demonstrate that we’re seriously, factually, objectively, verifiably the most Elite Alliance in all the history of the game -without even really trying. 🕶 ---

> [@Galaxy\_Pig](#): > > Also confirming that Experimental Funtimes Corp was not a member of the CODE. Alliance for the longest time. If I remember correctly, in the very beginning the executor of the alliance used to be New Order Logistics with James’ alt Currin Trading as the CEO. James used his one man corp to demonstrate the silliness of the corp recycling non-exploit. Then after some events he added his corp to CODE. and made it executor. > [@Galaxy\_Pig](#): > > The Alliance, as I recall, was really only created so that those of us who wanted to could pool our killmails. CODE. Really is rather irrelevant to the New Order movement. It was a home for the New Order Knights, where you could join with your gank “alt” to gank together while the bumpers mostly operated solo. There where only a few corps in CODE. back then, mainly New Order Logistics and NODD, and maybe some holding corp, can’t remember. ---
