Valar Morghulis. [CONDI] is a primarily North American timezone PVP corporation where serious internet spaceship giants are created from the sublime sartorial habiliments of more pedestrian gentlemen. While being North American timezone heavy, we have pilots from all timezones across the world and recruits from everywhere are welcome to apply.
WeGÇÖre not a powerhouse. WeGÇÖre not the best small gang pvp corp known to man and bestial PI alt. Our name is not writ in glowing neon neo-Nipponese sigils twice ten-thousand kilometers long on the Jita undock, (which no one could probably read anyway, seems a bit of a waste, really). We do want to become those things, and we play with the assumption that itGÇÖs more meaningful to create that type of organization than to join one thatGÇÖs already established.
We are warrior poet gentlemen. We play for glorious battles, posts space sandcastles and iced tea at cricket matches in the afternoon when itGÇÖs just beastly hot and to engage in fisticuffs would just be unseemly and downright sweaty. We work hard to achieve our goals but know when it's time to relax and have a good time, engaging in ironic usage of self deprecatory humor and random acts of spaceship bombast. WeGÇÖve been in nullsec going on close to 2 years now, and have a healthy bit of failure and success under our belts. We know what we want out of our gameplay and have found an alliance in Goonswarm that supports that playstyle admirably.
What we're looking for:
- Mature, serious, addicted PvP players who have experienced a fair bit of EVE, (15m SP+) like the game, and are going to be around for a while. People who know what they want and are looking to join a group of other strong people who share similar goals.
- People who play primarily for PvP. PvP of all types; we do small roams and giant sprawling blobfests, and we think that all PvP is good PvP. If you're an indy guy, that's cool too GÇô Cicero said, GÇ£The sinews of war are unlimited money.GÇ¥ And he was right, because you see EVE is a lot like being a Roman senator. Even our indy-focused guys like the pew, though GÇô indy is just what you do to afford nice things.
- Pilots who dream big, and then set themselves out to achieve those goals fearlessly. Pilots who look at impossible situations as challenges yet to be overcome, who arenGÇÖt afraid of failure and constantly seek self-improvement.
- Willingness to train towards alliance-mandated ships and fittings with at least one combat character. Tight fleet comps beat random hodgepodge and a gang of well-trained vagabonds and scimitars is a sight pleasing to the eye of any gentleman with pretensions of sophistication.
- Standard Nullsec stuff, you need to have a mic, use voice-comms/jabber, and know your way around EFT or Pyfa.
What we offer:
- Subsidized PvP. Like any disgusting tech-heavy alliance, we subsidize your PvP. Losses sustained in the vagaries of interweb spaceship combat will either be replaced or compensated by the corporation.
- Space! Our alliance owns some of the best space in EVE, residing in the Deklein region, controlling 108 systems and 42 stations, partly in other regions than Deklein aswell.
- Active, enthusiastic players and entertaining corp chat/jabber channels. We may be small, but we play big, reguarly placing at or near the top of alliance killboard metrics and efficiency stats. Our Killboard.
- Battle Reports. Seriously GÇô what good is a fight if you can't brag about it afterwards. We fight for the joy and glory of battle itself and we're not satisfied until everyone is sick to death of hearing about it.
- PVP Variety. We do small-gang stuff, we sit in Maelstrom balls and orbit anchor, we deploy bombers halfway across EVE and pick on terrible ratters in expensive things. Find your niche and hone your skills, or embrace it all and drown in kills - if you like PVP thereGÇÖs always something for you to do.
- A Latin-sounding name, plagiarized from a popular series of books (now with added HBO specialness) complete with a dot and an appropriate logo. We're so lame it implodes in on itself and bursts forth quasar-like into awesomeness. IGÇÖd use a brane-theory reference here too, but then IGÇÖd be (even more of) a douchebag.
- Rational graft and corruption. 10 percent of your ratting income will be forcibly ripped from your still-grasping hands by a squad of trained monkeys (the wicked witch flying kind, not the lame singing pseudo-british kind although that would indeed be humerous as well). Our fairly standard taxrate will be used to run our skillbook program for capitals and to supply you with corp-owned dreadnoughts and capital supplies.
- Most importantly, panache, sir; we are endowed with more than our share of moxy.
If you'd like to know more, please visit our website, or stop by for a chat in our public channel: Valar Morghulis where a recruiter or random alt will be afk, ignoring your pleas for mercy as you are studiously ignored and reduced to spending all your ISK on somer.blink.[/quote]

"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on."
- Ulysses S. Grant
The first two steps turned out to be easy: with the help of the influence map, we discovered that our enemy lives in Tribute. Now on to step three, the "striking" bit, which is lots of fun. Come join in.

These terse notes were exchanged by Somerset Maugham and a young lady who had submitted some short stories to the famous author for criticism:
Dear Mr. Maugham:
Do you think I should put forth more fire into my stories?
Ann Onymous
and the noted author replied:
Dear Miss Onymous:
No. Vice versa.
Somerset Maugham
We are writing stories across the face of Eve, and sometimes end up in the fire. Come join us. |

"... Moreover, I happen to like machines and am rather pleased to be in their company. I prefer to be classified with them then with a lot of people I know. They are admittedly more primitive then those people, but it is wrong to hold that against them.
This talk about oneness with machines is bringing back a memory. The sun is setting at Dulles, and I am aboard a half-empty plane, sitting alone by the dark window in the back near the lavatories. The day's work is done, and I am intent on exploiting the time-zone difference between east and west coasts to sleep in my own bed. The lights in the terminal have snapped on, and trucks are scurrying about on the tarmac in the dark. The plane pushes back, then bumps and rattles across the taxiways in a sullen sort of way, a forgotten flight in a forgotten world of discarded USA Today parts and Burger Kings - the haunt of exhausted economic soldiers washing downstream like spent salmon for the bears. At the end of the runway the plane pauses, as it always does, for there is no urgency, especially when one is working late. Then, suddenly, as if called, it remembers something it forgot, its great heart begins to beat, wells of energy that are its nature and its birthright are summoned, and its magnificent body is impelled forward effortlessly as it exuberantly rotates into the sky. The lights of the city recede and vanish, and the back of the plane is dark again.
I am in your hands, my young friend, and I shall trust you tonight, as I have many times before, to take me home safely."
- Robert Laughlin
I have always liked this quote, and I thought you might too. After all, we are, every one of us, people who chose an MMO where our in-game representations are cold, impersonal, metallic spaceships.
Back on topic: join VM.

"Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all: Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons; I know the voices dying with a dying fall Beneath the music from a farther room. So how should I presume?"
- T.S. Eliot
Of course you can presume. Join VM, we will disturb the universe together.

Viktor Adler described the Hapsburg regime in the early 1900's as "despotism mitigated by slovenliness".
But we are not slovenly. Instead, VM offers despotism mitigated by Norwegian drinking songs, fruitcakes, and the occasional free vindi.
