James 315 – even in Anoikis space I’ve heard that name. He’s the self-proclaimed savior of high-sec, right? I read somewhere he is even running for a CSM position. Well, it takes all types. My only advice on that is he shouldn’t attend any panels drunk. No one likes a copy cat.
For laughs, I went over to his web site and read The New Halaima Code of Conduct. I figured since I have a personal code of conduct, I may as well have a look at that one. Perhaps there really is something refreshingly emergent there.
I couldn’t even finish it all. What a colossal waste of bad grammar. It was all so “done already” I couldn’t believe anyone except a noob would think it was original.
Still, there are a few things in this Code of Conduct that I’d like to comment on. Fortunately, I have a blog of my own on which to do so. James 315, I hope you read this. I’ve a message for you at the end of it all. So, onto my first comment.
Paying any amount of ISK to you or your cronies would eat into my profit margin unacceptably. I’ll mine where I want; when I want. Come bump me if you like. Suicide gank me if you can. It’s all part of being a miner. I’ve been around long enough to remember when auto-destruct had no countdown. I remember when jerks like you would auto-destruct in belts and blow up dozens of mining barges and drones at one time. Now that’s a real suicide gank. (FYI, suicide by cop isn’t.) I never got caught back then. I doubt you could catch me now.
As for respecting suicide gankers, I only treat with respect those that have earned my respect. Suicide gankers will never do so. I respect capsuleers who do difficult tasks with aplomb. Suicide ganking is neither difficult nor demanding. Aplomb is not possible. Neither is earning my respect.
I also don’t talk with suicide gankers. It’s like correcting other people’s ill behaved children. It’s not my responsibility. I have more important things on which to spend my time. If they want attention, they can run for CSM – though there are a plethora of candidates far more qualified.
There is one concept you especially seem weak on understanding James. To earn respect, one must first be worthy of respect. It is sad but true, the originality-challenged often do not understand respect is not an entitlement. So many people feel they are entitled to things which they simply never will live up to. You should re-size your goals because you’re in for a very long road of self-disappointment otherwise.
And about lists in drawers, I do not need crayon and paper to keep track of jerks. James 315, you are a jerk. I’d like to hunt you down and kill you, but I’m just to damn busy with really important stuff. However, please cross my path some day. I really don’t care that you are hiding in an NPC corporation. I tell you and everyone else right here and now, I will pod you if given the chance – unless I have something more important to do – which is very likely. Nevertheless, I, Mabrick, declare vendetta on James 315 for the offense of banal discourse.
You are the only exception to my personal code of conduct against podding James 315. You can feel all special about that if you like. It only speaks to your level of banality. Nothing irritates me more than wasted words and you have wasted far to many on meaningless blather. Vendetta is your punishment for publishing trite. Now don’t get me wrong. I really won’t spend time hunting you, harassing you, or extorting you. I won’t go out of my way to find you – you’re just not worth it. I’ll just kill you if I see you and then I’ll pod you.
I encourage anyone else reading this who feels the urge to declare vendetta as well. If you see this self-appointed cretin of high-sec, shoot him. It’s not personal, it’s just a natural reaction to imbecilic behavior. Vendetta will allow you to cleanse yourself of it. But by all means, do it only in your spare time. I think we’ve wasted enough time on this already.

PS: If any of these words are too big for you James, try this link.
He’s been around the block a time or five. With over 15 years of MMO playing under his belt and a memory that reaches back to pencils and dice, he offers his insights into the not so virtual reality we call Eve Online.
Wtf dude, your post is just as shit as the guy you are commenting on
James 315, is that you?
lmfao
Can't be James315… if it was it'd be a 5 post long rant rambling into non-sensical gobledegook
probably not, seeing as how James 315 is an eloquent, classy persona.
This James 315 bullshit has become more stale than a piece of blue cheese. This article just fed James' attention need to complete numerous jerks in a basement somewhere, and by posting this I realize I'm contributing a little myself FFFFFFFFFFFFF……
I suggest buying a permit instead. Permit Tank is the best tank.
Fuck yo permit. If it flies, it dies.
Buy a permit
never heard of this james 315. he must not be very important…. oh well back to mining in Jita
Nice try, James 315 alt. Jita has no belts!
You are mistaken good sir! i mine Ships for Veldspar and other rare minerals..
I'm neither a supporter of the James 315 nor a detractor, but I will say that I find one aspect of his… emergence irrefutable – he has made people care. The negative aspect of this is represented well by Mabrick's post above, but the positive aspect is the fact that he has a following. In a game where nothing really new has been added in a while in the form of content, he has given a significant amount of people something to do. People who I'm sure never considered themselves "role-plays" find themselves playing a role for him, and enjoying it. It's really remarkable.
And, love him or hate him, the man is a master communicator. Mabrick's post here isn't bad, but the ease with which James communicates with passion and clarity is enough to make me (who writes for a living) envious.
Are you joking? James can't communicate his need to shit without a 3000 word essay.
Maybe I'm partial to 3000 word essays
'Nothing irritates me more than wasted words'
lol
Obviously not, or else you would have deleted 90% of this tedious post.
What the hell is auto destruct having no timer and doing damage to other ships? He must mean smartbombs. Ive been here since 2006 and I have never seen self destruct blow up other ships.
This is the worst rant blog I have ever seen. If it wasn't for Ripard Teg I would never come to EN24 anymore…
Ripard Teg has a blog here; www.jestertrek.blogspot.com . There is no possible reason to come to EN24, since I can hardly believe that the comments are that gratifying.
Boring
What a shit post lol. "Paying 10 mil a year would eat to my profits" ahahaha. It's amazing how seriously people take this. James deserves respect. Creating so much fuss and providing such entertainment with his blog. Relax people, this is role playing game. Author's e-honor and butthurt post is what makes this game so good.
Wether you like the guy or not, you could atleast provide a link to his website so others like me can read it and make up our own minds about it.
Heard even in Wormholes ?
James315 WHO ?
more importantly , Mabrick ? WHO is this guy ?!
if i'm not mistaken, he's role playing some sort of a mad man.
I guess you didn't pick up on that.
Why wasting so many of your precious words for miner ganker scrub. There is so much more to get in the Mission Department!
Good thing I stopped reading after the first paragraph.
I have to admit i chuckled at this post……
Theres a sophistication to Mabricks trolling that i like…….
James 315 = mittens.. aka The Mittani… thought people knew that
Mabrick you have inspired me. Let's see how many corpses we can collect of this fellow although his mate the Goblin is just as worthy to fit in my cargo bay.
Your face when James 315 speeches can be compared to speeches made by Hitler.
Im serious read them its plagerism for 1 nut jobs.
Reading this article was 10minutes of wasted time. Some ubber pubbie complaining about another smartass having bad gramma
Ammount of fucks I give about your vendeta is equal to importance this whoever dude you are writting about. Dunno why EN24 even announce stuff like this. Stop crying and go kill more rocks, they wont pod you.
10 minutes? you got some serious readin' skills bro
Wait, it took you ten minutes to read the article?
Anyways, the whole the idea behind James is pretty silly even by the standards of CFC renter line. It is not like he is having a serious effect on things. Miners simply shift around – James is no worse or better than a bunch of Goon lackies running around blowing up hulks.
Pod him, sure. Why not… It is Eve.
"So many people feel they are entitled to things which they simply never will live up to."
Are you mad? you sound mad
King Dom enjoyed this emotional rant
+1
Well said sir!
Since James's only real point is to make people play the game with each other, and you would break your own code of solitude to pod him, you do realize he wins the argument right? What you just posted is what he wants, out of everybody. Pay, don't pay, saying that he won't catch you means you'll be watching, tanking your exhumer, etc. Saying that you'll pod him means potential pvp. Even recognizing that he's in the game means that you are recognizing you are playing a multiplayer game. You don't get that your post is going to make him thrilled, not mad.
mabrick = madbro
James315 = mission accomplished
The 10m is necessary to promote his agenda as a business that is profitable. If you think extorting miners for 10m per YEAR is a good idea I have an investment portfolio for you, I just need all your money up front.
god what a boring post. Who gives two fucks? one of the few things more banal than suicide ganking is moral outrage over it. "OOH james watch out ima shoot your pod unless i don't see you because i'm too important and busy."
I believe that a a great deal of bandwidth could have been saved by simply publishing an article saying "A-bloo-bloo-bloo I'm so very sad. – Signed Mabrick"
Can I have the back the wasted minutes of my life it took to read this please? Between this and Goblin, EN24 is taking a serious nose dive…
I estimate amount of tears James 315 and his croonies harvested via this post as too damn high.
lol so much sperg
James315 = Hitler – yea , like it
Dick in your ass James315
I've also had a nice reading into this page. Is it just me or does he sound like your average religious fanatic?
