BoB the warmachine, yada yada yada... that's great and all but,
the ideology behind the force is what lures me.
I had that feeling back when SA vs CA. You guys remember knowing what was needed then but somewhere after all this time it's forgotton by many. After the dissolvement it slowly but surely turned into alot of corps going for the "Me Me Me" factor and the all mighty ISK.
Not every corp but several and this is not in anyway me judging what corps wanted to do (it's your game), rather my role in the corp and consequently in the alliance. I had a fundamental notion of what i wanted to do in the world of Eve. I wanted to fight on the side of right and fly with the wingman who'd give me his clonevat.
It - I got so lost when the objectives where gone.
Watching what goes on and whats written, there's one Alliance left, originally intact. Uh-huh you guessed it.
They Challange the strong.
It's what they do. With that goal always first, thier members have a reason to play Eve and have fun. Little politics if any really. BoB wants, BoB go gets. Not make a deal or nap at heels but get it, whatever it is...similiar to earning it, and when you do that it's O so gratifying. This is not endorsing the beat of drums rather acknowledging the reward of cooperation and the spirit of teamwork.
I suspect also that BoB leaders pay mind to BoB soilders and citizens. For it is they who make BoB, not the otherway around.
This is my opinion and i am an outsider looking in like many. There will be *****lisp comments and flames but no matter. We all want to be successful in our adventures/ventures in eve. I just want to do it with a good group, that can adapt and grow as well as learn to face the ever changing landscape that is eve.
So back to the subject.
I want my shot to be ammo in a T2 railgun that can blast a blackhole in the heart of the universe...
In these times of gankfest, few will throw a gauntlet and challenge. There are many who are still grouped but are clearly shadows of thier former state, entity's in quagmires, or outright non-exsistant.

i started the game with xanadu, coming from the game planetarion with a buddy called 'see' and a buddy called 'cho'.
while waiting for our new upgrades to our pc's to play eve me and see spent the time talking about the game eve and what we wanted to do in the game. we decided one night to come up with our names
for some reason we came up with
for me - stizum hilidii
and for see - sizum milidii
cant remember why though think i was drunk at the time.
most of my enemies though even call me as target by the name stan

People join BoB because they like the way that we play the game, not because they "think its the winning team". At least, thats how I interpreted the post.

Hi,
If you want to get into BoB, asking randomly in the forums is not going to get you anywhere near us.
In fact it's more likely that we will laugh your application out the door.
Have fun in eve.
Thanks,

Heh, I remember a target living about 20 seconds longer than it really should have once. All because Phonix couldn't pronounce the name.

I actually don't know why the OP needs to humiliate himself in front of BoB, who eagerly jumped on the opportunity. Everyone knows how BoB works (at least everyone who thought about it for at least a while). I won't write down the reasons for their success (as there's no intention to place another ode to BoB in this thread). To cut it short, it doesn't matter what your personal qualities are, BoB will not recruit you unless you are not a good FC or (preferrably "and") a celebrity with 30mill sp.
If you like the way BoB work, why won't you try to do something similar (only on a smaller scale). And it looks like they seriously consider your application

That's so far from the truth it makes my eyes bleed just reading it.
RKK has never hired someone because they were a good fc, a celebrity or someone with 30mil sp.
We only hire people based on recommendations from people within RKK of people.
The only thing we really need is proof that you will prolly fit in well to our corp, aren't an idiot and are trustworthy.
It's ALL about your personal qualities.
I couldn't careless if someone had 3 million sp or 30 million sp because I will still turn them into a killing machine.
I also prefer not to take on "celebrities" because they usually crap and can't play as part of a team.
Finally, we have enough FC's that it doesn't matter whether you have ever led fleets before, we'll train you up to do it and let you lose.

/me kisses db ass
can i join? ^^
why dont u just go and check public corp channel from the bob corp u like and ask
"what do i have to do join u uber cool bunch of eve gods"
or just check corp description normaly u find someone to talk too.
On a more serious note, i have to agreee with dbp here, guys with loads of sp tend to feel uber - this is mostly if u have bought the char and no idea about it.
Known forum *****s/celebreties, often pay the account to ***** the forum.
Problem with fcs is mostly that all the alliances work different and so do the fcs so if a good bob fc joins d2 or whatever it doenst mean that this will work out that well.
I show u how to lead your fleets check it here |

I do agree though... for once, with them. Forums are not the place to go apply for corps.

They Challange the strong.
The single most potent player force in EvE challenges who? More to the point, who challenges them? If you want a challenge fight them instead of join them.
With that being said, I have great respect for what BoB can do. They have some of the wealthiest individuals, largest corporations, greatest amount of natural and artificial resources and strongest leadership in the game. Some insinuate GMs and Devs are amongst their ranks. If you want to play EvE on easy there you have it - join BoB.
Me, I don't like easy mode. I'll continue to fight bob when and where I can be effective.

Easy.
People keep saying this but it doesn't make it any more true. Eve on easy mode is living in NPC stations, not claiming space. That is easy.
Why?
Because you have complete freedom in choosing your engagements. Odds don't look good? Log out, go play on an alt. It's not like they can hurt you while you're not online if you have no persistant assets.
BoB may appear to have it easy, infact the alliance does have it easy. Why? The individual players play hard, they play hard and they play for the team.

Sorry Ab, while you're point is correct and almost certainly wills some people to join BoB the chief reason is because they want to be on the winning side.
Theres not enough people willing to be the underdogs in this game.

I think it would be fair to say the members, or "Grunts" as sometimes said, in bob have an easier job that those in other alliances. However, it is alot of effort in BoB, as they expect alot more activity and participation from thier members.

They Challange the strong.
The single most potent player force in EvE challenges who? More to the point, who challenges them? If you want a challenge fight them instead of join them.
With that being said, I have great respect for what BoB can do. They have some of the wealthiest individuals, largest corporations, greatest amount of natural and artificial resources and strongest leadership in the game. Some insinuate GMs and Devs are amongst their ranks. If you want to play EvE on easy there you have it - join BoB.
Me, I don't like easy mode. I'll continue to fight bob when and where I can be effective.
I don't like easy mode either, I'd love to have a big challenge. But what do you want us to do about it ? Disband the alliance ? Leave all the people you have been playing with for 2 years and join some random other people just to get a fight ?
Having a challenge is nice, but playing with people you like in an enviroment that you like is more important for me.
I will never leave RKK. If RKK or BoB would disband I'd probably leave the game, not because I want to be on the winning side, but because I just wouldn't be able to get the same amount of enjoyment from the game in any other corp or alliance.

Do you think what has been achieved by BoB came with exploits, GM assistance and magic wands? No, I didnĘt think so either, trying to maintain those standards is no easy task, but BoB reach new heights that, I, personally like to endeavour to beat, I'm of course not speaking for BoB here. People say BoB may be the best fighting force in EvE and they can't possibly fight anyone else because it wouldn't be a challenge, well do you see 900 man fleets going into each system? I don't I see roaming gangs from each of the four corporations brining it to many parts of the map simultaneously.

I couldn't careless if someone had 3 million sp or 30 million sp because I will still turn them into a killing machine.
I find people with 30m skill points have 10m skill points in carebearing, whereas a 3m skillpoint character has nothing to lose but everything to gain by being pointed in the correct direction by what they enjoy doing.
So those corps that say "20m or less dont bother applying" lose out on training up loyal pilots who will eventually make a corp.
Those corps that employ only the celebs or high end skillpointers miss out on so much.

How about actually trying to take space from a major power for once. That would be a good start; the challenge is there and just because D2 and ASCN haven't tried it doesn't mean that you should feel justified avoiding it.
Maybe we will? Maybe we've been running round the map trying to **** off enough people that they'll come and get us? What Lorth says is 100% accurate though - at this time, what's the point? We can go and get our combat from road trips whilst we build our infrastructure in Delve, Fountain, Period Basis and Querious - we've already completely moved our operations once, when we moved from the North to Delve, and that was just under 18 months ago - and that wasn't to a "weak" foe, because we faced both FIX and FA and whoever else fancied a go - when eventually "The Five" was formed we still had lots of work to do, you guys still outnumbered our primary fleet when you wanted to.
So, yeah - maybe we will, but don't say it like we haven't already done it once, and that even after BoB (pre-dian) had been fighting for nearly 12 months anyway.
It isn't just us that can attack, Baun, and with pos and the game being what it is it is now inordinately harder for us to do the same thing once again... maybe the titan will fix that, if CCP ever give us the damned skills and make it worthwhile to use in-grid in fleet combat, right now it's just an 80b isk target.

Typical blinkered baun response.
MortyM was in RKK when we took the north. He was also here when we took Delve, Fountain and Outer Ring. Two of the biggest challenges in the game to date.
He has already "tried it" and will no doubt be here when we try it again. That was what he posted.

I see your point.
The way you feel about RKK is the way I feel about CELES. They are not just corp mates, or other pilots - they are friends. I wouldn't consider leaving CELES either, and if CELES folded I would likely quit the game.
I remember back to a time when RKK and CELES were friends, and I know a LOT of the same pilots that were there then are there now. Those pilots helped RKK/BoB become what it is today - NOT an easy feat by anyone's standards.
My post is not to incumbent members but those who wish to join you - THEY are the ones trying to play on easy. To me, it is a cowardly path, to try to join a side that is already winning, or is already overwhelmingly strong.

I don't know to many BoB members. Don't really care to know any sheep alliance members really. However, I think if you could show your worth to them or any alliance without kissing up. Then I think you might have a shot at being looked at. I like to think BoB recruits on good recommendations instead of swallowing up everyone they can find. I think anyone who would want to join might have a better chance at aiming towards that. Course I could be totaly out of line in suggesting this but then again it wouldn't hurt to try.
Just my 2 cents
