Hi,
I don't normally respond to threads, as you can see for yourself, but this one is just TOO GOOD to pass up!
600 members for CLS is terrific accomplishment. Now, as for the numbers themselves, I would say that is at least 300 seperate people.
I myself have 2 toons in the corporation.
Talons and Talons Empire Hauling Alt (TEHA). Not that it matters much. I mean, if you have only 3 slots and you put 66% of your available resources into the corporation, that is saying something in itself about the corporation.
As for management, we have a very rigidly defined 'chain of command', which makes it very clear where someone needs to go to get information. We have an AWESOME website, for information distribution. We request/require all members to get an account on that as the corporate EVE mail is totally friggin' borked and worthless.
As for requirements to get in, these have been specifically defined as well. Although, all rules have exceptions, we try to stick to them pretty well.
Our recruiters are TOP NOTCH and do not have to be that active in the aggressive role, as we have a lot of applicants to screen. However, we are actively recruiting, but that might stop for a couple of weeks shortly to allow this last group of new members to get familiar with things.
We have several programs that help our newer members to CLS and to the GAME itself which helps dramatically in allowing our players to "Get to the Next Level" of their game play. Whether it be a Cruiser, or their First Battleship.
Alot of how our corporation is structured and what is all about can be found on our website at: www.celestial-horizon.net.
Sometimes Corp Chat can be a little slow, actually. Other times, it is scrolling rather quickly. But, most of the time it maintains a sense of sanity.
Now, some of you may think CYVOK is a complete dictator and that would be the only way he could get this corporation going and maintain its integrity (wholeness) and still have everyone want to play, but he is not. He has ideas, he presents them. Most of the time, we like or love the idea. If not, we tell him. YES, we have that priviledge and right to do so.
This corporation is by definition and existence, owned and operated by its membership. The leadership are servants to those members.
What is really cool about the way we have structured the corporation overall, is that ALL leadership members also have enough time to actually PLAY THE GAME!
I think overall, we have an AWESOME corporation and I thank each and every member for being in EVE and more specifically in Celestial Horizon Corporation.
IMHO, The BEST Corporation in EVE!
