Greetings, salutations, and welcome.
tl;dr: There is no tl;dr. If you don't have the time to read this, and give me something other than a cut and paste response from your forum thread, I am not the recruit for your corporation.
Background As the title says, I've been playing since '08. I spent a good two years or more doing PvE both in K-space and J-space before I made the plunge and moved to nullsec. I've done big fleets, little fleets, gate camps, mining ops, logistics, blops, been an alliance director for a sov holding entity, and fiddled while Rome burned. I won't say I've done everything that Eve has to offer, because I know there's a lot left I haven't done.
And that's what I'm looking for now.
What I Want(ish)
- Fights.
I want to PvP. I will PvE - it's fun occasionally, but for the most part, I am looking to make people miserable by ruining their day before they can ruin mine.
- Faction Warfare.
I've never done FacWar before and it seems like it might be a nice change of pace for me. It would need to be Gallente or Minmatar.
- Lowsec Piracy is another possibility.
But it would have to be actual piracy. As in offering and honoring ransoms - you have to be in it for the loot, not the lulz.
- A Reasonable sized corp.
If your corporation doesn't have at least 15-20 actual people that are on when I am (more below), please don't waste your time and mine by replying. I play Eve for the social aspects - if I want to play a game by myself, I have Skyrim and Assassin's Creed.
What I Don't Want
- Ganking.
Ugh. Suicide ganking is fine as a playstyle, but it's not for me. I'd like a fight where my opponent at least thinks he has a chance of winning, and ganking miners sounds like it might be fun for about 5 minutes.
- Nullsec
I just left nullsec. I am not interested in going back there on a full time basis. If your corp lives in nullsec and has a lowsec division, and I don't have to go to nullsec on a regular basis, I'd consider it.
- Wormholes
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It would take something truly spectacular to get me back into a WH corp again.
Ok, so you're probably thinking, holy crap this guy is picky. Yeah, at this point in my Eve life, I am. If you're still with me, here's What I Can Offer
- PvP Experience. Killboard Link.
No, I am not some l337 PvP god (whatever that means). I lose ships, sometimes due to hilariously stupid mistakes on my own part. Case in point. But I do know which end of the gun points at the other guy, and I'm a reasonable pilot in a small gang.
- Versatility.Recent-ish Eveboard link.
I can fly every T1 subcap combat hull in the game. I can fly nearly all of the T2 hulls, and use a wide variety of weapons. I can fly all of the carriers at varying levels of competency, and the Naglfar dreadnought.
- Fleet Experience
I know how to operate in a fleet. I can follow commands, keep my mouth shut, and do what I'm told. I can also scout and tackle.
- Self sufficient.
I can earn my own ISK, though I won't say no to SRP.
- The basics
I have TS3, a mic, am familiar with Jabber, etc.
- Playtime
I am Central Time US, and prefer people that are around when I am. That would be from around 21:00 until about 04:00 Eve Time. I am NOT on every night. I have a wife, kids, and a job. On the weekends, I am around most of the time, unless I am off doing stuff with the family.
So here's the test - what's going to separate the corps that get my attention from the ones that don't. I'm not coming back to this thread except to occasionally bump it. If you're interested in recruiting me, send me a mail in game. Include some information that addresses my wants from the list above. Tell me about your corporation and why I should join you. If you have a public channel, link it.
That's about it. If you stuck with me this far, you might be a member of my next corporation. Congrats. De'Veldrin's Corallary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null. |
