Seriously though.
This corp I am in now is just.... well it is frankly terrible. I'm not all that experienced in this game but I've been studying and paying attention to what I was taught, and deciding what I wanted to do.
I tailored some skills towards pvp and thought that maybe high sec wars might be a decent place to get my feet wet, so I signed up with these "mercs". They're just fail. We don't even pvp, in fact we log off when WT's are online, and go to test server to "pvp where it isn't lame".
So long story short, I thought I would check out some other small merc corps to see what is up. I picked Lonetrek Salvage kind of at random off the c and p forums. Contacted this Victoria Ehr chick/manchick, did the whole api recruiting thing and etc.
Then there was a 50m recruiting fee. I thought about it for awhile, I figured there was a decent chance it was a scam, but these guys are supposedly mercs, and what the heck, 50 mil is chump change anyway, so I forked over the entry fee.
Of course, fee was scam. After a triumphant mail about being owned, I got blocked by Victoria. I'm just a bit amazed though. Since when is 50m a scam to be impressed by. I accidentally made more than that once when my drones blew up a rat while I was afk.
Good on ya Victoria. In the mean time, if anyone is looking for a reasonably knowledgeable and enthusiastic noob, I'm right here.

I don't believe your story about blowing up a rat for 50m
I think getting scammed for 50m because you wanted to be someone friend will always be funny
I question your judgment about choosing a star wars name and replacing the L with an I
I dont think you should play eve anymore because you were only good as a potential scam mark but someone already got to you
I think you should biomass your character and cry in your hands.

Thanks for the input.
I believe I already covered the fact that I was pretty certain it was a scam but felt the risk was minimal.
I got a Low Grade Slave implant off a rat while afk'ing in a belt. I'm pretty certain I'm not the only person in Eve to ever get that.
I'm not certain about your questioning my judgment about taking a Star Wars name. It is widely recognized as a top ten movie for millions, if not billions of people, so I would guess that you are in the minority there. You probably even have the widescreen dvd collection on your shelf somewhere.
As for not being useful, I was looking for a corp in order to become a useful player. I maintain confidence that I will eventually find one and prove myself.
A last comment. I wasn't looking for friends. I was just looking for some fleet mates for pvp.

This is my first MMORPG since Star Wars Galaxies went WOW clone a few years ago. My last experience with forums was there, and they are...... markedly different from here, lets say.
I have not yet gotten into the habit of strange off topic posts, insults, logical fallacies as argument pillars, and puerile comments like "u mad".
I'm also an attorney, and I like debating. They don't let you scream at people very often where I work.

Just start with the premise that every OP is an invitation to make someone feel bad and every post is an opptunity to make some feel bad. When you can't find anyone to directly insult, insult CCP.

I found someone "elite Minmatar Frigate wreck" at a gate last night and salvaged it and got 30M in salvage loot.
50M is not a scam.

Since when are we mercs? We're a highsec griefer corp. :P
But I agree, many merc corps, such as Snatch Victory, are complete jokes.

Know your audience. You'll get the hang of it once you know the posters on the Eve forums a bit more.
Also, most people on this forum prefer trolling to debating.  ---------------

I'm not sure which is more spasticated...
1) the fact that you came to the c&P forums in order to get recruited in the first place
2) the fact that having done that, you digested the info on offer and concluded the best mercs for you to join were not any of the actual mercs, but instead one of the most obvious groups of dedicated arsewipes
3) the fact that you decided to pay these guys for no explicable reason

Originally by: Child Pork In addition, just because millions of people like, and own DVD copies of Star Wars, doesn't make it a good name for Eve. Millions of people own bibles, but that doesn't mean its appropriate to play a carpenter from bethlehem. Eve is its own intellectual property, with its own storyline and universe, so come up with something slightly original. The fact you had to replace the l with an I shows your choice wasn't even original amongst Eve players, let alone the wider world.
An addendum to this would be if you absolutely feel compelled to pay homage to your favorite Sci-Fi legacy, try to be witty about it. "Luke Sky****er", "Hand Solo", "Count Dookie", or "Emperor Poopatine" would have been much more acceptable choices. Inappropriate signature. Jericho |

Don't forget excessive sockpuppetry with alts!
That's a hallowed tradition here at C&P.

GOOD GRIEF GUYS! WHAT IN HEAVENS HAS HAPPENED TO C&P? I REMEMBER WHEN THIS BOARD WAS INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL, AND CONSTRUCTIVE! DOES EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU EXCEPT ME HAVE AN EVIL TWIN WHO MURDERED THE REAL YOU AND IS NOW USING YOUR EVE ACCOUNT? COME ON! EVE ONLINE IS NOT JUST A GAEEM, BUT A COMMUNITY FILLED WITH PEOPLE WILLING TO SPEND TIME FROLICKING IN SPACE ALONG WITH A FLEET OR TWO, NOT ABOUT SCAMMING PEOPLE FOR THEIR HARD EARNED ISK! IMAGINE HOW THIS POOR BABY KANGAROO SOUL FEELS ABOUT IT? I MEAN ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS TO BECOME USEFUL IN THIS COMMUNITY WE CALL EVE, AND ALL HE GETS IS SOME DEMON-ASS TAKING HIS MONEY! HOW ELSE IS HE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR HIS CIVILIAN AUTOCANNONS?!
