Since my previous loan request didn't go through (promises were made, but no real action from the lender's part), I'd like to make an open request.
I've made this alt to dualbox Rattlesnakes in C3s/C4s (currently sitting on 5 million SP and a Rattle hull ready). My main is in a wormhole corp with a C3 static, large active playerbase during my time of play. The risk of getting ganked is quite minimal with the precautions we take. Using a single toon in a single Rattler without hole bonuses I can achieve 200-250m isk / hour, training this guy up i'm hoping for a bit more than that (considering i'll be able to run c4 sites + c3 relic/data sites). I'd need about ~5 more injectors to turn this guy into a Rattler pilot I'd be satisfied with, but I could make do with meta 4 rapid heavies/faction heavy drones in the meantime, but I'd need the gal/cal battleship skills a bit higher to sustain the DPS of the sites i'm looking to run. I'm looking to speed up the training process, I can buy injectors in-corp for 600m. I'm looking for a loan of 1.2B-1.8b for starters, I should be able to repay you within 2-3 weekends (that's when I have time to play).
I'm posting from my alt because corp policy doesn't allow me to post from my main. I can't offer collateral in the value of the loan, I'm looking for an uncollaterized loan.
Message me if you are interested, interest % is negotiable. |

If you can currently earn 200M isk an hour why not just earn the 1.2B since it would take you less than a day? |

Limited play time, I'd like to minimize the amount of time I spend ratting in the long run, plus maximize what I earn during the time I do rat. |

Some offers have rolled in in the meantime, I'm waiting on a few more offers then I'll go with the most reasonable. |

It sounds like you're violating one of the principal rules of eve, which is don't fly something you can't afford to lose. Even if you think your wormhole is safe, what's your plan to pay off the loan if your Rattlesnakes get blown up before you farm back the ISK? |

My fits are quite cheap, with the dualbox isk/hour I approximated i can make the price of a single Rattler back in 2-3 hours. Cheaper Rattlers mean higher SP investment to achieve similar results to an expensive one, which is why I'm dumping isk into skill injectors rather than on modules. We don't really get ganked, we are the ones ganking people. It's easy to know what to do to avoid that when it's what you do yourself on a regular basis. |

I dont understand this. You answer the questions with "farm the isk to repay" yet your state "limited play time". If you can just farm the isk then why not farm for the rattle?
If you dont want to seem needy I doubt coming here was a better option.
What guarentes can you provide, in your limited playing time and outside of "farm the isk" (something that solves this whole mess) can you provide for loosing these assets?
I still cant wrap around "Farm to repay" yet Farm to pay is not an option. What guarantees do you have to offer that you wont have even limited time to play, you wont be booted from corp, and you wont loose the assets?
Please understand what you are asking is extremely high risk. You have also never explained what I get out of this for forking over 1.8Billion isk (or I at least missed it). |

If I have 3-5-5 hours to play (fri-sat-sun), and i rat 7-8, i'd rather be making 350m-400m isk/hour (minus warp times, hole rolling, hole quality) than 200-250m isk/hour (minus same stuff), even if it means I'll have to fork interest over to someone 1 month from now.
I don't get why you want me to bend over backwards for assurances and failsafes. My assurance and failsafe is staying safe in the first place, and how even if things go wrong I'm at worst down only one Rattlesnake. The average ganking situation would be a 10-20 man rescue fleet bailing me out in the next 3 minutes, and if that isn't something backing me up i'm not ratting in the first place (rare occourence). Breaking Rattlers is hard, there's ample time for the cavalry to arrive. And having proper hole control during bearing means that I know well before **** goes down that something is coming my way.
Also, in my first post I expressed that I'm looking for offers where you explain your terms, and I'll choose the most favourable. |

Because you're asking for a loan with zero collateral.

Has it ever occurred to you, peoples terms are the answers to these questions? |

I hope you can understand that from an investor's perspective, being told that your plan is "staying safe in the first place" isn't reassuring at all. That's the plan for every PvE'er, explorer, miner and hauler - But sometimes Bob has other plans.
You've also mentioned your plan is to dual-box. AKA - both Rattlesnakes will be in space running missions at the same time. How can you guarantee you would only lose one? Answer - you can't. You can speculate that it is very unlikely that you would lose both, but you can't guarantee it. And if you lose both, you lose your ability to pay back your loan.
You also mentioned your corp just fought off an eviction attempt and as a result everyone's wallets are thin. Sounds like the eviction attempt hit the corp hard (not symbolic of a permanent fixture). If your corp does get evicted, how do you make ISK to pay back your loan?
You say you've received some offers in game. I would suggest you take one of them because I can't see anyone who frequents these forums wanting to get involved in this. But, I've been wrong before. Good luck! |

I think these lines of questions mainly boil down to not understanding how wormhole space works. A wormhole system is hermetically sealed once you have eyes on the holes, which means no new threats come in that you don't know about. Knowing if a hostile entity is active in one of the systems is also something that regular scouting provides before engaging in PVE, and if that situation arises, you can re-roll the hole, or just roll them out of that particular connection. Rolling can be done in one pass, so it usually happens before the entity can react. That leaves you with the inhabitants of the hole you want to bear in. You warp to the citadels/poses, check corp killboards, and make a threat assessment. Also, from what I found, the systems we roll into are empty (or the inhabitants are asleep), or the corp that set up shop died, or it's some guy and his 2 alts living solo. I tire of going into details to be honest, living in wh space is very different from going in from hisec (daytripping). If you know what you are doing and have a corp to back you up, PVE losses are miniscule. You'd have to be really bored to have a cloaky fleet camped in a system, waiting for hours for people to roll in. A well-fit passive rattle takes a long time to go down, giving the rescue fleet more than enough time to bail you out. Also, my rattles put out 1100 sustained DPS each with rapid heavies (that includes reload time), so unless they bring EWAR they are in for an ass-kicking.
Eviction attempts sometimes happen, but what happened isn't something that affects day-to-day life after the attempt is over. They tried to get some citadel timers, we kicked their asses, but fights cause ship loss on both sides. They went home, gfs were said, it's over now. You have to consider that most wormhole entites are friendly towards each other at the end of the day, eviction attempts are mostly happening to create content, rather than the revenge fantasies you can sometimes read about.

I have more offers than I expected to be honest, right now I have an interview set up with the guy offering the best terms. Thank you for your observations.

I don't. Your explanation of wormhole space details how it's very unlikely to lose one (if your corp is competent) but it doesn't, at all, address the issue that if you _do_ lose one there is no particular reason why you shouldn't lose the other at the same time.

Of course you do. I'll bet any number of MD regulars will be posting in here about how this seemed like an excellent deal and they offered. Any day now. |

Not staying on the warp-in, MJD, high sustained tank, rescue fleet, hole control. Puzzle it together.

Which also means that you can only rat and PVE once you have a sufficient number of friends online who have dedicated scouts/scanner alts that are constantly scanning when a new anom pops up. And no one is going to do that for a corp mate unless they either get a cut or are PVE-ing themselves, which begs the question of why you cant run anoms with your corpmates and make isk perfectly optimally, that way.
And no, as a person who is currently in an active WH corp, Rolling takes a fleet, because no one wants to sacrifice a raven or HIC or whatever you use to roll the WH with, without sufficient backup.
So youre basically telling us that you have a whole fleet that just stands there on standby just so you can PVE. So what, theyre just sitting there, staring at the screen all day while you go out and make ISK? How laughably unbelievable that is.
What we do, is we constantly check Dscan. Thats it. Sure, everyones on comms on the off-chance that someone gets dropped on, but we dont have dedicated scouts and scanners who are just looking at the hole just so that we can PVE, because thats a waste of everyones time. The only time we have a dedicated scan/scout is if were actively looking for fights.
Everything you say is so unbelievable, from someone who is actually living in a WH.
But thats not even the most laughable part of your story.

This is.
I have maybe 3 billion isk on this char right now, and about 12 billion isk on my char that is in a WH corp. But even on a bad day of defending our citadel, i still only lose around 1-2 billion isk, which is easily replaceable by me(our standard doctrine is Legions, maybe ill lose 2 and thats only around 1.4 bill total). And im considered one of the poorest corpmate in our corp.
How incompetent does your corp have to be to become completely drained as to not be able to afford a mere 1.2 billion isk after a defense? Did you guys throw wave after wave of shitfit shiny bhaalgorns at your enemies or something? Its baffling to hear that your corp, after a single defense, has grown so poor that no one can loan you 1.2 billion isk.
The more likely explanation is that either your corpmates dont trust you enough to lend you the isk, or you are simply just trying to scam. |

So its been like a week since youve posted in the other thread requesting a loan. Surely youve made around 600 mill by now, right? So you only have to wait another week or so and you dont need a loan anymore, right? |

Scout alts. Proper fleet/proper logi on both sides, expensive. Teaming up halves isk/hour.
I was going to write a proper reply but you seem too hostile for me to waste text on.
I also need more injectors than what the loan is for, I'm putting my own time into it as well obviously. |

Again, only shows the incompetance of your corp/alliance if they become so poor after a single defense as to not being able to afford 1.2 bill loan for you.
My concerns are valid. You are the second person ive seen in the past few months claiming to have a dual box rattlesnake set up and asking for a non-collateral loan. |

I dont think you understand what "Everyones wallets are a bit thin" means. Your words, not mine.
Also, we dont know that you never asked for a loan before, because you are posting on an alt. A 10 day old alt, just to post this, by the looks of it. But even if you were correct, you are basically saying you have a Zero credit score and therefore Zero reliability/trust. Not really making a good argument here.
And if you dont want people posting in your thread with criticism, maybe you should come back with a better argument.
Or collateral. |

As far as scam attempts for loans go this is one of the more interesting proposals I've read lately.
This forum is generally pretty dilligent and it will be hard to scam a lot here. OP, you might do better elsewhere.
Loans with no collateral usually only work if you invest considerable time into crafting a believeable story that hasn't been done time and time again. This rattlesnake story is full of holes - if you can service the loan as trivially as you claim, you certainly can manage without it.
Do try again though, OP. I'm interested to see what sort of scams your alts can come up with.

I'm not trying to scam anyone. 1.8b is still a lot of time i'd have to put in if i were to farm that much with only 1 rattler. I've answered every question thrown at me that wasn't just the author being a smartass - I'm sorry if uncollaterized loans have a bad rep. Me posting from an alt has to do with opsec in general, we have strict rules regarding posting with an in-corp toon. |

I'd say it's less that you're asking for an uncollaterized loan and more the fact that you're asking for one with a 10 day old character (as of this post time) while claiming you're already sitting on 5m SP with it. A Day 0 toon has maybe 500k SP, and even assuming you had cybernetics 5 for free and had +5s plugged in your head, there's no way a 10 day old character could possess 5m+ SP short of consuming skill injectors. That also means you've been able to easily afford at least 5 injectors for that character already. Unfortunately, the whole "I fly safe so I wont ever lose these ships" assurance is also tissue paper thin for attracting potential loaners. It's much for the same reason I havent tried picking one up myself for busting out T2 hulls from the dozens/hundreds of blueprint copies I have. Market volatility is so unstable right now that "I dont know what the profit margins are today, but yesterday they were at 1.337 billion isk! And a 9001 isk loss the day before that, but dont mind that, think of yesterday's profit!" hardly has the ring of a safe investment to people. |
