Dracomir

I purchased this character (yes, the one I am posting with) today, and everything was as
it was advertised to be, except for a couple of old EVE-Mails that were left in the
folder. I open them and find out I just bought a Corp thief. Evidently the previous
owner was a member of a corp called Flashman Services and he ripped them off, then
unloaded the character on to someone else. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to
repair a reputation like this? Or am I just stuck with him? Anyone willing to give me a
chance to prove myself? I like this character, but don't want to live in an NPC Corp
forever.

How can anyone really trust you. You could have put up a fake auction and still be the original character trying to dump some heat. You queue jumped ahead so you should be happy in any case, npc corps are not that bad.

Eve is a big place. So what if one corp hates you, is it really that big of a deal? 99.9% of EvE isn't going to have any clue of your reputation.
If people keep harasing you with mails and what not, just block them or petition them.

I expected maybe some baggage such as having a few enemies or some toes stepped on in
the past, but this is more than I had bargained for. I suppose I can find a corp
eventually, it's just going to be a lot harder, and my options are more limited now. |

Actually, it sounds like you got exactly what you bargained for. Perhaps you should be more careful next time. Caveat emptor.

It wasn't just a corp you ripped off Dracomir but you left a single person that had played eve for years with absolutely nothing... His trust was his downfall but bottom line, it was your actions that made him not enjoy playing the game anymore.
I kind of lied there. He didn't lose absolutely everything He still had friends; close friends and they are not the forgive and forget type I'm afraid.

Personally, even if I happened to believe you, I'd still never accept you as a member. First, you have just illustrated that you prefer the easy way to achieve things intead of hard work, second, you either have a rich main or acquired that char by other means *cough*.
However, good luck. :)
P.S. Maybe you can find some people who knew the old Draco on ts and pursuade them that way.

If Dracomir has been 'sold' then I truly am sorry for you but as you yourself stated... there's no way to prove it one way or the other.
Way I look at it you got several options. - Resell the character: not the most honourable thing to do but you get your isk back - Delete the character: so you're out of pocket, perhaps it's a lesson well learned - Live life in an NPC corp: not very fun - Carry on as normal: Hope that you don't bump up with any Flashmans crew or Bufos mates

Message someone from Flashman, ask to get on their TS/ventrilo and speak. Amazingly, if you are a different person behind the character, you will probably have a different voice.

or possibly, u can petition saying that the name is offensive to many people cause the previous owner was a corp thief, and for them to check that tha ccount was transffered. and if it is indeed so maybe its possible that they would change the name? no guarantees :| ------------------------------------------------ NEWLY ADDED ON 1/19 (though applies to all posts before ;p)

How did you pay for the character? If you paid with isks, who did you transfer them to? Maybe that would be useful information.

Most people buy more characters because they want a change from what they are doing or to cover all bases while playing. Example: My main is a Mission runner, always have been and always will be. (One man Corp) Alt 1: is for pvping in 0.0 space. (Large player Corp) Alt 2: is a miner and a industrialist. (NPC Corp)
All 3 are pretty much maxed out in their field and I didn't have to stop or divert training to get them there.
But I'll provide Dracomir with another option; He could just train that character for pvp or pirating. So if and when you guys or anyone else come looking, he'll be ready... And might have little fun while he's at it. 
That's the luxury of having multiple characters and accounts. That and the money to spend....

I somehow doubt it will be needed. Those doublebreaks from 5 months ago are kind of significant. So is the rest of the writing style. Heh. :)

Nice TS test, just ask your brother/neighbour/friend to stand in for you. Then when the guys openly announce you are indeed a new person and you're freed from any blame go join a new corp and start the corp theft (or whatever it was) all over again.

You won't find anything worth stealing anyway, so I am ready to give you that chance.

Its also worth pointing out that he has only been in caldari provisions for 4 1/2 hours meaning that theres no way that he could have logged on(if a char is transfered you have to being in npc corp and wait till after dt to beable to use the char) to the char today seeing as dt hasnt happened yet.

As I see it your character's past deeds become yours I'm afraid.
There is no way back....or should be no way back. Your characters reputation will most likely stay with you.

Actually there are 3 points
1. The Char transfer at DT 2. Doesent corp history get wiped after character transfer? 3. Wallet transactions. Why dont you show us the corp theif wallet?
Either way, this is the corp theif all right, and not some innocent buyer. --- Slot 10 Akemons Modified 'Noble'Zet 5000 implant +8% Armour FREE |

Well, I'm sure some corp will accept him. We would but I don't like his type so I wouldn't put forth recruitment effort. 
Anyway, recruit the poor guy! I'm sure you can squeeze some performance out of him before he understands he won't ever get hangar or account access.

lol, the op is still denying that its an unavoidable "co-incidence" that both him and the original owner of the account have some random double line spacing in the middle of sentence fetish.
Question to the OP: Why do you have this mid sentence paragraphing?

I transferred an alt once, onto another account because I had to train some new skills on my main.
Perhaps it was because it wasn't a power of two account but the transfer was immediate - I did the transfer, paid up, and logged on my new account - character was there, I logged him in and set his skill going again.

Yeah, I think that would be enough to convince everbody. This is even better than CCP confirming that the char is sold, since anybody can actually buy their own character and put them on a seperate account and claim innocence - show us a few wallet pics showing where to corp theif transfered his money. --- Slot 10 Akemons Modified 'Noble'Zet 5000 implant +8% Armour FREE |

I have 4-5 characters on my black list, and I dont worry about a transfer or a repentance! If I meet it, I pod it and pod it again, until it sells its character.
And I will pod again and again the next buyer.
You are stupid to believe that a bought character dont have history!
Or if you want to erase the past, erase also the skill!

If in doubt, POD it out :) However, a corp theif will simply sell the char on, meaning that insted of punishing the theif, you punish someone else who may or may not know the character's history. Now if the someone else can show wallet transactions so the eve public can TRACE the theif's main - that is better for all, do you not agree? --- Slot 10 Akemons Modified 'Noble'Zet 5000 implant +8% Armour FREE |
