Holy Amarrian Battlemonk

The Holy Amarrian Battlemonks, sisters and brothers united in their eternal disdain of the heresy of opportunism commit their lives to the eradication of this behaviour, in the service of the Amarr empire.
A brother or sister of our order, once granted the title Saint has renounced all possessions, wealth, fame or connections and have freely surrendered all potential for these as an individual for the greater progress of our order. With no need of these affectations, they cannot be bribed, cannot be dissuaded, cannot be intimidated. They have nothing to lose, and the only thing of interest to gain is the pursuit of our purpose.
Battlemonk FAQ
- OMGWTFBBQ!!11 Are you guys for f&^%&ing real? Yes. This isn't pretend or roleplay. We understand we are playing a computer game. We understand that fundamentally it is data being manipulated on a database, connected to the internet. Nevertheless, we are committed to what we are and what we do. We know we are not in spaceships in space, we interacting with a computer game.
- If your not roleplayers..... FOR THE LOVE OF BOB WHY????? There is many ways of explaining it. My personal preference is to use game theory. 0.0 is essentially a big game of prisoners dilemma. Which comes down to trust. Can I trust my partner, should I betray my partner. Ways to change or transform the dynamic of prisoners dilemma games is to be irrational. If you know someone will always tell the truth, you can predict how they will behave and change your strategy appropriately. In 0.0 rational behaviour causes a tyrrany of opportunistic short sighted behaviour. Our goal is to transform this dynamic, by placing a stake in the ground from which will eminate predictability of behaviour that will attract others into co-operation. As any student of game theory knows, reptitive games of prisoners dilemma it is ALWAYS in your long term interest to co-opereate with someone who can be trusted. At the same time if your enemies cannot trust their partners, your growth in benefit is exponential relative to theirs.
NRDS is an in game existing example of this dynamic. You can predict the behaviour that leads to co-operation. Opportunists still come upon those in NRDS space (i.e. CVA) but the benefits of the NRDS space overall outweight the losses of not shooting first. This is why CVA is one of the wealthiest alliances despite low numbers that also attracts strong loyalty.
- Is Holy Amarrian Battlemonks NRDS ? We strongly support NRDS, and in any space that is NRDS we completely respect the local authorities. Additionally, a Battlemonk will NEVER fire on a member of a Battlemonk recognised NRDS alliance, even if fired upon. It has more meaning to us to have never fired upon a NRDS believer and die than to defend ourselves. That said, we exist to disrupt and destroy the economic and social viability of opportunistic 0.0 behaviour. This means we are going to impact your ability to earn money and attract or keep recruits.
- Will you ever lie? A Battlemonk of rank saint cannot intentionally mistate. Its unpossible. This is different to deceive. Deception is intrinsic to warfare, and we are engaged in a war. You can take us at our word, we will not lie. But then only amateurs lie. Truth is a far more potent means of shifting perceptions.
- Why on earth would someone join this lame corp? We offer our members purpose. EvE doesnt tell you what wining is. You need to find that yourself. We offer a vision of what wining the game is. Others believe in isk. To us it is but a mere tool, meaningless in itself. Others follow a pursuit tangible impact on fellow players through rockets and lasers. Some are obsessed with the collection of trinkets. Yet others pursue fame or notoriety. Our win, our goal, our reason to be is to effect game change from supremacy of opportunism, to the supremacy of co-operation in 0.0. The rest is meaningless.
