Allow me to shed some insight on Sicarri...
Several months ago, you could pretty much consider me a complete carebear. That's not to say that I was disgusted with the thought of PvP, but I simply operated in my own little world of industry, mining, research etc. I frowned on piracy, especially since all the pirates I had ever been in contact with until that point would have qualified with degrees in smack talking and just being rather rude and unfriendly. I've been playing EVE for quite some time now and, to an extent, you could say I was getting rather bored with the grind and rather repetitive ritual of mission running, being politically correct with every alliance I met... the list goes on.
A few months ago I met Furious Raccoon. While he was in my home system wtfpwning some ships from an alliance Sicarri was at war with, actually. At first I thought Sicarri was like any other pirate or "have fun" corp out there, but the more I chatted with FR, the more I realized there was something different about these guys. In my EVE experience I have found that trust is the most valuable commodity you can ask for (and nearly unheard of when it comes to the larger percentage of players), and the more involved I got with Sicarri, the more I saw that these guys look out for each other; trust one another; and watch one anothers' backs. And most of all, they just know how to have a good time.
I feel that EVE is often turned into a political framework that reflects the hardships of RL politics into a gaming environment. The entire grind of it all just gets very old, and (in my opinion) makes EVE more like a job rather than something to truly enjoy. I have FR and Sicarri to thank for helping me discover the true enjoyment of EVE. And sadly it's taken me almost two years of playing this game to fully appreciate it.
That said, give Sicarri a shot - I promise you won't regret it. Find out how awesome this game was *meant* to be.
