Official Bad Karma Recruitment Thread!
Bad Karma are recruiting!
We are a corp who dedicate our playtime to skilled 0.0 PvP. Our combat fleets consist of small numbers, usually taking on numbers equal to or much greater than ourselves. We aren't interested in politics or blob warfare, simply the fun of killing. We operate under a strict NBSI policy, and since we only have one small corp blue to us, we have a lot of targets.
Our primary requirements are that potential recruits play a lot. A *lot*. We are looking for people who play at least four nights a week and preferably more, and who have enough time to commit to nightly ops into 0.0. We are looking for the kind of people who understand the game and it's mechanics well, or at least those who have enough of a basic grasp that they are able and prepared to learn from us. When we go on a campaign, we will move out into a 0.0 region for a couple of weeks, so you must be prepared to live out of a carrier.
All of our members are self sufficient and we require applicants to be the same. Whether you make your money from 0.0 ratting, mining with an alt, trading, or whatever, we don't really care. All loot that we make from ops is split evenly according to attendance on that op, but most of our members have other sources of income too.
Our Killboard - as you can see, our general efficiency is at 85%. We expect applicants to be able to easily maintain this level of efficiency, if not attain a higher level.
As far as skillpoints and ships go, as long as you're active and have a clear focus in your training, we're happy. We class pilots broadly as the following:
* Battleship Pilots * Support Pilots (Recons, Command Ships, etc) * Tacklers (Interceptors and Interdictors)
Some applicants will of course be able to fly more than one of these categories, but all applicants should be able to fly at least one of these classes to a good level. That is, full tech 2 specs and all relevant skills to good levels (generally 4 or 5).
So in a nutshell - if you have the playtime to dedicate, if you think you have the ability to fight against sometimes overwhelming odds, and if you have the skills needed, then Bad Karma could be for you.

We are still recruiting. Particularly of interest to us are:
Caldari Recon/Scorpion Pilots Turret BS Pilots Interdictor and Interceptor Pilots
We are still recruiting from any class of pilot as per the OP, but if you fly any of the above, you'd make me happy in my pants :P

For full disclosure you should probably mention that several of your members spend their time doing high-sec ganks of haulers in Uedama then going back to rat in 0.0 to up their security ranking. That way potential members are fully informed of what they can expect. ----------------------------------------------- I have done what I have done for the good of my people.

Edited by: Martina Knizia on 16/11/2006 18:16:01 Edited by: Martina Knizia on 16/11/2006 18:14:36 Nope, I have never lost anything to them but I know people who have. I see the same guys every time I go through Uedama, which is fairly often.
My point is that even among pirates there are levels of "acceptable" piracy. High-sec ganking might not be considered acceptable to some (and belies the highly skilled mentioned in the thread title, since it doesn't take much to blow up a hauler in high sec space), which is why I point it out for full disclosure. Note the lack of smack-talk in my post, unlike your replies. ----------------------------------------------- I have done what I have done for the good of my people. God will be my only judge. |

Where's your killboard? I wanted to look at this 85% statistic, but all I could find of your kills and deaths was when I Googled other killboards for Bad Karma. There does appear to be a lot of 0.0 pvp.
BTW, I think the one person's claim about empire ganking may has some validity. I found this in my search for your killboard:

Were you guys at war or was this a gank?

We openly admit that we gank haulers for financial gain during our breaks...
In fact we encorage our members to grief others in every way possible because we can and it makes good conversation on Teamspeak
Our killboard by the way is here Killboard Link
Anyway, hope to see some of you guys out flying with us soon...

This thread deserves to much publicity to be on page 4...
Plus im drunk and dont care about the odd bump rules, mind you i brought enough dev's beers at fanfest to get away with things mwhahaha!
We are still recruiting people to join our jolly ranks of drunk griefers who make money from PVP and have way to much fun on teamspeak to be legal. Woooooot!

Thanks for all the kind words guys.
Wait, wait....I sound like a fluffy pink bunny rabbit cashmere coat wearing mofo.
THX NOOBZ LOL 4 TEH BUMPING R THRED!
Better :)
Edited in killboard link.
Yes we gank haulers. I personally don't agree with that tactic and I don't gank haulers. Some of our guys do. Either way, it's a valid tactic, if you don't like it don't join us.
Yes I run Scrapheap Challenge, but that is not affiliated with Bad Karma.
Comments aside, we do a lot of 0.0 pvp. Mostly every night in fact. The only time we don't tends to be when social lives get in the way; if you've seen any of our fanfest videos you'll see we party pretty hard too.
To sum up, if you want 0.0 in it's purest form, no blobbing but plenty of blobs to fight, and you're up to the challenge of playing a lot, and you think you have the skills to keep up, then get in touch.

Edit: This is Robert Dobbs, wrong char post
Finances are handled completely by our CEO but we have visability access mainly because he is likes to get drunk and hide the isk (Just Joking Richie)... All loot we get from ops we take back to empire and sell, the money is then divided by the people who were present on the op and the amount of time they put into logistics and killing.
All ammo/drones/warp probes are paid for out of corp wallet which somehow manages to stay at a level where we can afford that stuff... Good point i have no idea how our corp wallet maintains its self but it does and should it get low we all just throw 10mil its way which we can always afford...
Gang discipline, people are expected on an op to keep the noise down and only speak if they have something to say that the FC or Scout NEEDS to know. But apart from that we are all quite capable of being FC's so we all have a say and encorage people to speak up if they think that someone is talking out of their behind.
We are far to laid back to get the kills we do and yet we keep getting away with it which makes us smile.
Any more questions leave another post here or drop me a line in game, Calmdown is currently busy shooting things, which incidently is where i should be...

For hands that do dishes that feel soft as your face, choose mild green Fairy Liquid.
For fat pvp action, choose Bad Karma.

Our reasons for recruiting certain specialised pilots are our own, Alot of the game is about to change and those who adapt first will be the ones still getting the kills.
The Mach kill was awesome, stuck in a bubble, Dampened to 19km lock range, dual webbed at 30km by a Huginn, Rest of the ships further away. The only thing it could do was sit there and die
