There was a dude named Cody who sold code guns and various other equipment. He was equally hated for being overpriced but also relied on for driving cheaper people out of business. Dude was untouchable due to how skittish he was


Until one day when a bunch of madlads actually got him blued

I don't remember seeing him very much after that

Oh, so that happened to Cody... that is sad...
I liked to buy guns from him - He was also a quite good RP'er as well

At least he did his business outside of Conn, props to him for that.

The kidnapping itself though was the equivalent of writing an engagement notice while your supernova projectile is already on its way to a shieldless target. Not very cool, probably against the rules and definitely unsportsmanlike.

To be fair, this was before people discovered the abusable combo of JD + Cloak and introduced rules to prevent that. This was within the rules back then, but it would certainly not be today.

Behind every rule there's a story, but one that I wouldn't be so proud of.

Did you know that for years the most popular trading route on the server by a mile was to run diamonds to new tokyo from new berlin? The server would often be at full capacity til the late hours with the vast majority of people doing that run. The queues for the jump holes were dreadful.

Did you know that mining ships like the Hegemon were made available years before they had any purpose aside from trading like everyone else?

Did you know that it used to take ages to set up a character? Before FLHook everyone started on manhatten and had to secure their IFF through missions or bribes. Then you had to fly to whichever base sold the ID you needed to buy it. It was a major contributor to why New York and Liberty in general were so overcrowded.

Did you know that the LSF were for a long time the PvP elite of the server? Their characters were seen logging several times a day every day and they only flew raven’s claws.

Did you know that the Unknown system was created with the plot of ‘the wizard of oz’ in mind? It’s accessed via kansas, there’s an emerald city and you are returned to normal space once you find the wicked witch in the west.

Did you know that the xenos’ likeness to hillbillies originated as one player’s joke that ended up as their faction hallmark? None of their bases are names from the deep south, yet they’ll never shake the reputation of being gun toting rednecks.

Did you know it used to be pretty common for outcast fleets to use rochester as a staging ground, and people were ok with that?

Did you know that alaska was once the epicenter of activity for the whole server? Many moons ago it was the fastest route to run cardamine through to manhattan. As you can imagine, it used to royally piss off the navy.

Did you known that assigning a character a ‘Crminal ID’ which was hostile to everyone was once an official means of punishment from the admins?

Nice to reminisce
