First let me start with what you won't get from me so if there's a dealbreaker I won't waste any of your time:
- My Full API.
- Training into T3 cruisers. I'm currently terribad at PvP and I don't want to lose SP everytime I go pop.
- l33t pvp kb. I'm pretty raw (but intend to change that).
What I won't accept in a corp:
- Drama and douchbaggery. If it occurs I'll log out. If it continues I'll drop corp.
- Excessive demands on my time. I will be able to play around 3-4 times per week, about 3 hours per session, from about 00:00 to 03:00 or 01:00 to 04:00 depending on DST. If that isn't enough then we aren't a good fit.
Required from your corp:
- Be based in wormhole space. Roams into K-space are great, but home should be in a WH system with a silly name.
- Numerous, active, North America TZ players.
- Willingness to teach me the skills to survive and be valuable in W-space. I can't scan good and wanna learn to do other stuff good too.
- A dedicated voice chat server (TS/Vent/Mumble), and for your people to use it. I'm not joining a corp to never talk to anyone. That's what HS is for.
- RL > EVE policy.
- Some way to make ISK or a SRP. I am more than happy to fight and die for the right corp, but I'm not terribly self-suficient and I'm anything but spacerich so I need a way to resupply ships so I can die more for you. And like I said, I'm bad at PvP so I'll die a lot.
- Group activities. I'm pretty sure that the nature of W-space will increase the necessity of group activities, but if somehow you guys all manage to do your own things solo, I'm not interested. I'm not joining a corp to be alone. Again, that's what HS is for.
- A voice interview with your corp's CEO or acting leader, and with your corp. Just a few minutes with each so I can get a feel for the leadership, the people, and the culture.
- Sense of humor. This is super important.
- Maturity. Not the kind of maturity that makes farts no longer funny, but the kind of maturity that lets you know that it's not okay to be a misogynistic troglodyte.
Not required of you but definitely a bonus:
- An opportunity to fly a variety of ships. I understand there are fits and doctrines that simply work better due to the meta, but I haven't even sat in half the ships I can fly.
- Easygoing atmosphere, while still being able to be serious when it's go time.
- Shenanigans, hijinks, and/or tomfoolery.
What can you expect from me:
- A player who is willing to learn. I'm sure a lot of people say this, but I actually enjoy learning and bettering myself.
- I will use voice comms and I have a willingness to follow orders. If you tell me where to go and what to do I can follow your instructions. And if you tell me why, you probably won't have to tell me next time cause I'll know what's happening and where I'm needed.
- Partial API. Mask = 27206093. Includes my wallet balance, all my skill/character sheet stuff, CharacterInfo, S&I, and of course the public stuff. Does not include my assets or any communications/notifications.
- My pilot is combat oriented and can fly most ships up to and including dreads, with the exception of T3 cruisers and mining ships. Armor skills are average. Shield skills are maxed, as are scanning skills.
- I have no children, just a wife and a cat, so the occasions that I have to bail for RL should be fairly few.
- Loyalty. If you make me feel useful, and the corpmates are a good group of people that I can shoot the **** with while shooting the reds with then I'll have no desire to leave.
- Lack of drama. I just don't give a ****. I really don't have an ego.
- Tolerance. In the same way I don't tolerate drama queens, I have no problem with drag queens. Or furries, or homo/bi/trans, or autistics (who are vilified in the EVE-O community for some reason), or any religious beliefs (so long as you don't try to convert me or condone me for not being the same), or any other lifestyle/worldview/whatever. I'm only concerned with if you're a douche or not. Other than that, I just don't give a ****.
About me personally: I have been playing EVE off and on for over 8 years. Due to RL demands and a 100% failure rate at getting my friends to join EVE, I basically lived in HS doing missions on occasion, and not playing for long spans of time. I guess I'm what you would call a bitternoob.
Now that I have a little more time (not a lot sadly), and because I've given up on ever getting my friends into EVE, I've decided to look for a corp to join. I wish to join a wormhole corp because I believe it offers the best of EVE at the moment: territory control w/o the bullshit of SOV, good ISK making opportunies, PvP w/o the bullshit of null, and a level of randomness which keeps you on your toes.
IRL I'm a 33yo married dude w/o any kids who lives in 'Murica. I work in IT. I like anime and PC games and complaining about stuff I can't change. I am blunt and hate bullshit. Most people find that abrasive, but I'm just applying the Golden Rule. If you can give it to me straight w/o being a **** about it, you'll instantly gain my respect.
I've got a good sense of humor, but it's sometimes dry, dark, or deadpan, and I've been told my sarcasm is borderline undetectable so I can sometimes sound insulting. I virtually never mean to be insulting unless I'm attacked first. Nothing offends me and I think jokes about things like racism or sex or dead babies are ******* hilarious. I also curse. A lot.
If you actually feel like I'd be a good fit in your corp and not just another number to pad your ranks with, then please reply to this thread, or shoot me an EVE-mail. I'll leave this open for about a week, filter down my opportunities to the few that look the most promising, and contact them to schedule interviews. Thanks for your time o7
