I returned to Eve after a three year break and after grinding missions for a few weeks to reacquaint myself with the game signed up with Blue Federation, one of the corps in RvB. Here's what I found, and it's why I have remained in RvB:
1. My game time is limited, and in RvB I can log on for an hour or so and get plenty of PvP action. Solo and small fleet actions, mostly, which is my preferred way to fight.
2. Most of the fights are in BC's and below, which keeps things affordable. Some players fly faction and t2 ships, which is fine if you can afford to lose them (because you'll attract a lot of hostile attention in that Dramiel.)
3. RvB pilots don't podkill each other. I can stuff my head with implants and not worry about losing them. (Accidents do happen, but I've stated the standing rule.)
4. Occasional special events with prizes.
5. Seasoned veterans & Fleet Commanders and newer players who are beginning to explore PvP.
6. You are free to come and go, dropping corp if you want to go run missions for a while. Many of our seasoned players who left for 0.0 or low-sec piracy have returned...they missed the easy and often action they got in RvB.
7. Good esprit de corps on both sides. RvB is rather like one corporation with two branches that are perpetually at war. We have players who readily change sides to improve balance or fill in when one corp has fewer peeps online.
8. No politics! Fit your ship and go for a roam and pew pew to your heart's content.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Check out Channel R-V-B and talk to some of our members...we're happy to answer questions.
See you in fleet, Serend

Nightly update.
Was a busy night in RVB, From when I got on tonight After 10pm CST US) there were 2 arranged Frig battles and one little station camp that netted me 10 kills at the cost of 1 ship lost (would have been more kills but our traitor CEO had joined up with Blue for the second fight to even the forces a little and primaried me early on. "Damn you Morph"). Not bad at all for a nights work though. And as the fact that the Red Fed CEO switched sides for the fight to make it more fun gives you an idea of the attitude of many people in the corps.
It really is a blast and I can't recommend it enough.
Carnage
I still suggest bringing lots of isk it gets addictive real fast.

This. I couldn't say it any better.
RVB is THE place to be if you just want to login and PVP in EVE. No 0.0 or lowsec politics. No endless gatecamping. No pansy hotdropping. Just pure pvp.

Edited by: Orion Shadowmaker on 08/05/2010 23:08:45 Best recruiting response ever! 
The spike in skilled pilots has been great! -- We still need pilots of all Eve ages, and still could use a spike in active FC types. We have a ton of pilots that could benefit from more Fleet Commanders.
J UP -- you want look back!

Yeah I think Blue needs some more folks in US evenings.
Combat log update.
Last night was a good night.
Won my first 1v1 (thanks for the fight Tauran)
Then managed to pop a condor that was hanging out near my safe undock at HQ.
After that I joined up with the Red Fed fleet and started trying to stir up some trouble. Things started a little slow. I managed to lose a Rifter to a Coercer while trying to tackle him long enough for the gang to get to me (he manage to kill me and slip away 2 seconds before back arrived)
After that managed to bait a blue fleet into engaging a Drake on a gate and managed to bag a Curse and a Mega. Nice juicy kills like that make losing the rifter well worth it.
After that thing slowed down for a while, Blue was light on pilots and their normal FC wasn't about (WRU Orion can I haz more Assaultship kills? )
After some piddling and discussion we finally decided to even things up a bit by sending a couple red pilots over to blue. So me and my bud Rexor volunteered for the "blue for a day" program and headed over to Allentene to hook up with the blue fleet.
There was joking about primarying me with friendly fire in vengeance for Melisendra's Curse I simply pointed out that my fellow corp mate would probably primary me anyway 
After that we headed over to Alenia and cycled through a couple safes then it was down to the planet for the fight.
26 total pilots in the fight I'm not certain if we were dead even or if Reds still had a slight numerical advantage the battle report is a bit confusing since normal hostiles were friendly and vice versa plus I think there is some bleed over from some earlier engagemnts.
Was a very fun battle. Managed to kill 7 of my fellow reds before I was finally popped.
The fight itself ended up with 2 Blue team (actually one of them was the other redfed pilot) still in their ships with one (the redfed guy) with 11% structure and the remaining BlueRep pilot out of ammo when the last red Merlin went sploddy.
Final tally for the night 11 kills, 2 dead Rifters and whole lotta fun.
So come over and join Blue we need more targets.

When I was Blue, you could get more stuff to shoot at a single evening than in any endless 0:0 roam I witnessed.
Cheap ships and low implant losses keep the fights affordable.
Highly recommended, for relaxed shootings. ------------------------------------ radiation... too much radiation... |

Daily bump and battle report.
Yesterday was an exciting day for RVB.
There was a much drama after Blue Republics top killer went rogue on monday and was kicked for rules violations only to return with another bitter ex RVBer as a 3rd party war target. Since this individual only plays during Euro prime time and I only get on for late US I missed most of that fun.
Even though the pilot in question is a jerk wad no one can deny that he is a skilled jerk wad so the day crew has some challenging fighting ahead of them.
For the nighttime crew Blue Rep had their main FC back online (wb Orion) so we were able to get some frigfleet action going. With Blues handing us Reds our asses several times. It was kind of a slow night for Red V Blue battles since we Red guys had to spend a significant amount of time hunting down 3rd party war targets while blue was stuck chomping at the bit while waiting for their Wardec to go in affect so they can join us in the hunt.
Kel's Corsairs stuck their hand into our nest and pulled back a bloody stump for their troubles losing 4 battlecruisers 2 Assault ships and a couple cruisers while killing 2 of our cruisers and 3 frigs a fair exchange by my estimation. Thanks for bringing the fight guys.
These folks look to be a halfway competent null sec corp so maybe they read some of the nonsense people have been spewing on the boards here about how RVB isn't any good at "real pvp" and thought they'd come up for some easy kills. I suspect they've been disabused of that notion at this point. Or maybe they just wanted to come to a place where they knew people weren't afraid to bring the fight.
All in all a relatively slow night for me only bagging 5 killmails while losing 3 ships.
As to personal growth I'm definitely seeing improvements in my performance my damage dealt to damage received is moving in the right direction and I just this week flipped from more loss points to more kill points on battleclinic. In battles now there is no longer any moment of panic or fumbles from nerves I'm able to keep my cool and battles are seeming to be less chaotic affairs.
It's still a target rich environment though we always need new blood. RVB is a little different from most Corporations in that we get a lot of churn in personal as people come in for a bit do some pew pew then move on or take a break to refil their banks. As such we're always needing more folks to keep our ranks up.
So if your bored with what ever you are doing in EVE come on down and give it a shot. Bring your main or make an alt. Hop in when ever you like and leave just as easily.
But bring lots of ISKies because it's addictive and gets pricy fast.
Oh and come with the right attitude. My personal opinion is that if you aren't losing ships pretty regularly in RVB then you are doing it wrong. The only way you never lose a ship is if you always ensure you have a significant enough advantage to take any fun out of the fight for your opponent and the whole point of RVB is to get fun fights and if you are always taking the fun out of their fights then eventually they'll stop and you'll have fewer targets.
My measure of a successful frig fleet fight in RVB is if only 1 or two ships survive (actually the ideal fight would be if the last two opponents pop at the same time ) this is an indication that we did a good job putting together a challenging match.
Right now is an exciting time to join up. Lots of 3rd party targets lots of fight hungry people in both teams. A particularly challenging target in Euro prime time and plenty of room for people who are able and willing to step up to make their mark.
We always need pilots and more people able and willing to FC are always wanted.
So what'cha waiting for? Come on down and get your pew pew on.

STILL NEED FC's TO FLY ALL THESE FLEETS OUT! 
RVB is working hard to fill all our time zones with good leaders...
We have tons of pilots looking for fights. You cant beat RVB for trying out tactics and learning more about leading fleets in general. 
Please convo a Red or Blue CEO, myself or just join R-V-B channel to get more info!

That was a good fight, I enjoyed it.
Since joining RvB a day or two ago, I've been involved in nearly 30 kills. This place is a blast. I've been involved in 6v6, 5v5, 10v7, several 10v10's...It's been quite fun. Anyone interested in cheap but fun PVP should give this place a try!

Edited by: Orion Shadowmaker on 12/05/2010 21:20:26 Woo Hoo, ****ed off another War target! Its amazing how these griefers actually believe we dont PVP every day 24/7!
Look at the killboard fastest moving two corp's in eve in terms of kills.
Guys seriously, this is the place to cut your teeth as an FC - The amount of fights we have alone should get your blood flowing! If you just want to PVP then even better...
Join up, see what all the hypes about. You lead out a few fleets or just fly in some, you cant lose -- If its not your "cup of tea" your allowed to come and go as you please...
Hope to Burn your hull or focus your fire soon!

just came home from the new robin hood movie last night. meh. gladiator was better. logging on. fleet up? nice. hopping into my beloved imicus and meeting the boys at the ralley point. what are we up to? frigsndessies 10on10. we get slaughtered.
2nd round. come on guys, lets reship and repay blues for their earlier noob luck  they're scouting us as soon as we hit neutral territory. thrasher scout eh? he's warping away just to the planet below the gate. bad choice, buddy. engaging fleet warp, landing the whole gang at 0 at that unlucky thrasher . bye bye scout. why is everybody warping at 70 nowadays? nevermind. lets fight blues! they need to reship a thrasher pilot?? oh come ON!! tempted to get my probes out and just land on them. decide not to. gotta respect pilot count on arranged fights. patience pays, we wipe their fleet and survive with 6/9. not too bad.
regroup at hq, drop the (t1 ) loot, get some reps done. we wanna go cruisers this time - lets raise the stakes ( ). undocking and rallying the fleet. agree on changing the battleground again. gotta keep that killboard clean. they warp in on us. damage mods on and overheat your guns as soon as in optimal. focused fire wins the fight at 0. blues are down to their fc in his beastily plated maller. ok lets chew threw him. overview turns red all of a sudden. 3rd party wartargets jumped in a myrm, harby and drake. PURPLE is on! primary is the harbinger. our remaining cruisers pop one after the other but the harby goes down as well. where is the blue dps? their counter-wardec isnt through yet? shiitee! ok. every pod reship asap into bc and reinforce our remaining cruisers. i reenter the field as blue jumps in their rr-support battleships. 3rd partys have enough. they bugger off, myrm in structure. direction? "tar stargate". warping fleet. jump on contact and ... damn, they allready warped. scout celestials and get those *****es. theyre docked in station... and logged. lol.
dawn has broken hours ago. have to hit the sack. thx for fleet and good hunting!
pvp. nothing else.

bumpity.
Moar blue targets/FC in late US Playtime please.
Ok the wife was feeling a little frisky last night so I got on a little later than usual and caught the aftermath of the WT incident that De l'Hospital reported. SO I hop into my Vexor and head to the fleet. After a few minutes of jacking around trying to get the WT's engaged we say F it and try to get something together. Unfortunately at this point blue's run out of steam and the possibility of a fleet fight evaporates.
Since no blues were feeling frisky and we have maintain our kill stats we decide to have a frig free for all. Our resident wealthy industrial former carebear put some prizes up. and 7 of us fit up some frigs and head to a neighboring system.
Rules called, no reships,don't hang around in the middle of battle in your pod, stay with in 60 clicks of the ref. go is called.
Stupidly I decided to go try to grab a kestrel in a sniper fit. after a few seconds of figuring out that my AB fit Rifter isn't going to catch his MWD Kestrel I head back into the thick of the battle and crank up my traversal to try and buy some time for my shield regen to catch up. I'm taking heavy damage from the Kestrel as I approach the thick of the battle then I'm orbiting one of the other rifters at 500 adding my damage to his demise.
At this point I notices that Imicus's drones are hammering me something fierce. my shields collapsed and armors going I target the drones and take them out. I'm now down to about 10% structure clouds of flame and smoke pouring our of my rifter but my shields starting to regen. I target the Imicus and pop him in short order then switch targets to the megatanked Punisher.
At this point I'm the last rifter with the punisher the kestrel and 2 merlins. I'm deep into structure and my shields are barely in force. I set a 7500m orbit on the puni to try and reduce the dmaage from him and overheat the mids to try and get a little more traversal.
Alas it's too little to late someone finally lands a lucky hit and my ship goes up in a ball of explosive glory.
Now it's down to the Puni, 2 merlin's and the kestrel. The merlins and puni decide that they need to take out the kestrel somehow and start cooperating to try and box him in.
After a few minutes of this the merlin pilots do the calculation and figure out that if they probably won't have the dps to take down the Puni with out the added fire of the kestrel so they turn their fire on the punisher snuffing out his chances of making the top 3 (where the good prizes start).
Now we're down to the Kestrel and 2 Merlin's after a few more minutes of chasing it around. One of the merlin pilots decides to go for the top 2 by betraying his former ally and opens fire on the other merlin.
Unfortunately for him the Kestrel Pilot picks that moment to decide that he can't break the first Kestrels tank and switches targets.
The second Merlin pilot angered by the betrayal turns his fire on the traitors merlin and between the two of them break it's tank and then there were two.
At this point it's late and after a few minutes of wasting ammo and flying around the Ref (prize offerer) offers to let them split the top two prizes since the Kestrel couldn't break the Merlin's tank and the Merlin couldn't catch the Kestrel.
Much fun can't wait for the next one I've got some ideas ;-)
If you are a U.S pilot who flies in late U.S primetime join blue so we have more targets.
This weekend will be fun all the reciprocal wardecs will all be in effect and it looks like these War Targets are the types who aren't going cancel their Wardec the second they take some losses so should be some good purple ops coming.
So what are you waiting for? Get your butts over to Verge Vendor and pick a team and get to blowing stuff up.

Hey Del Hospital, we only lost 4 blue pilots out of 11, that fight was actually looking really tight for both sides although you had an edge in cruiser kills. It was still a blast sending all the RR out to help you guys though!! 
Good Times!! Good Times!!
