Yesterday CODE. did not fight on their scheduled match against Red vs Blue. According to CCP they logged off and did not react to any attempt of contacting them after Red vs Blue announced to ban the Catalyst and Talos hulls, which see heavy use in Highsec ganking and likely were part of CODEs setup.
More details can be found in this article, however i feel free to say that they really pissed CCP off.
Today these chat logs, from The Conference Elites current CEO loyalanon reached us:
The referred picture of loyalanons wallet:
And finally this message from him send to the alliance:
Whether these payments over the significant sum of 200 Billion ISK (at current Plex prize roughly 5000$) are fake or real could only be answered to 100% by CCP, but as we don’t have anything besides loyalanons words here we doubt this to be true, even though the case is still under our investigation.
In the likely case that this is a blatant lie in order to explain yesterdays behaviour, it truly shows how desperate CODE. is in the current situation.
However, if this pictures the truth, CCP might take actions against the paid partakers and the unknown sponsor of this action as from current knowledge it seems like it was either aimed at screwing up CCPs schedule for the Alliance Tournament, or in order to manipulate bettings in big style.
