I wanted to address a few things brought up in a previous post from the standpoint of a Noir grunt and not as a member of our leadership element. In my short time with Noir I have found the corp to be one of the most enjoyable to fly with, and yet also the most difficult and strict. There is no quarter given to pilots that fail to meet up to our standards, and even less to those that violate the bylaws they agreed to follow from day one.
Our killboard and contract history,
Our killboard only displays the current contract on the front page for the sake of simplicity and to make it easier for our current employer to check on our progress. We are on contract and getting paid at least 90% of our time, and it's much easier to gauge our performance on a contract by contract basis while using this KB stats method. The other reason for this is that Noir pilots are paid based on their kills and activity within contract while operating inside the contract area. Seeing as we do not get paid for incidental kills outside the scope of a contract, it would make payroll fairly difficult if we had to sort through a list of intermingled contract and non contract kills.
You can see our total losses simply by clicking the contracts button on the top of the KB then selecting past contracts. None of this info is hidden and likewise it is available for anybody to check at any point in time. You can also just keep clicking previous week from the main page to see the stats on a week by week basis. This is why our KB's front page lists the current week in bold just above the stats corresponding to that week. That way, there is no confusion that the stats listed on the front page are from that week only.
Though as I mentioned above, you can see our past kills/losses by cycling through them with the previous week button.
While fair, Alek is extremely strict and not the easiest CEO to work under for the more casual of Eve players. With good reason, pilot's are booted from Noir with a frequency that may surprise anybody outside the corp. It is rare that anybody gets a second chance unless their offense is something extremely trivial.
I only bring up the above point because of the mention that we may not post all of our loss mails. Not posting, or in any way hiding a loss mail is one of the things that can earn Noir pilots a one way ticket out of the corp. This is something that Alek is a real stickler on, and even goes as far as to encourage non Noir entities to bring any related concerns to his immediate intention. Any Noir pilot that is found to have intentionally hidden a loss will be dealt with appropriately.
If you browse through our previous contracts you will find that the vast majority of them represent a stellar performance history. You will also find a few that for various reasons failed to meet up to the standards that Noir strives for. If we really wanted to hide our losses, or fabricate a fictional kill/loss ratio, then do you truly think we would leave those public for anybody to see?
Hiding losses would stand in direct contrast with the ideals and esprit de corps mindset of all those who operate under the NMG banner. It is a practice that is shameful, and otherwise frowned upon by each and every one of my fellow Noir pilots.
Our gang type specific ship fittings,
That Tengu fit is tailored in specific to one of Noir's gang types. Falcons however do not meet the fitting requirements involved in this particular fleet composition. There are various reasons surrounding this choice of fitting, and I'm not sure if I am allowed to divulge them here on the forums.
Though keep in mind that we do fly Falcons and in our more traditional gang types. And the same goes for Tengu's in terms of a more standardized fit.

No we post all our losses.... But on the front page you only see the current weeks kills/losses.
If somebody is going to post accusations and not bother reading my post explaining certain things, then oh well. *shug*

Bump for a merc corp that gets the job done, no matter how long it takes and how much support is required.
We learned a lot from the campaign, thanks for the schooling  ..latest podcast is a good listen too.
Thanks man... You guys really were a pain(Good). ;) Not sure if the corp as a whole underestimated Oxide... But I sure did.

POST THE MAILS. Show the public exactly how Noir. has been deceiving everyone. Go find all these mails that Noir. hasn't posted where they have lost ships to protect their efficiency.
I have never heard so much waffley faff as I have here.
Actually the funny thing is that the original mention of hidden loss mails related to something that an individual I am friends with messaged me about to make fun of.
That "hidden" Tengu loss is the one I am talking about. A week or so after the loss happened, Kovid from Reaper (At the time part of Rote K - They dont like us) trolled me with a "Ha ha your CEO lost his Tengu." message. Ever since I joined Noir, Kovid has been watching our KB so he can find stuff to poke fun at me about. In good fun though, as we are real life friends.
I guess Kovid just has some sort of magical ability to find loss mails after we have gone to great lengths to conceal them.
