Today marks the beginning of a new type of gameplay for the EVE Universe. Out of nowhere an alliance has formed that throws a twist in how other alliances will use and access empire. As our ranks grow so will the carnage.
Regardless of which definiton you choose, when you apply the "Privateer" concept to EVE the result is something to stand up and take notice of. We make no claims of greatness but are trying hard to make a statement.
Our mission has been and will continue to be war. We will continue delcaring war on every alliance using empire space and make a handsome profit from its dealings. Currently 4 alliance wars with a business model and expectations for 8-10 fulltime wars. Our corp/alliance structure is very loose and somewhat chaotic. Do not expect to be bothered with bureaucracy here. Currently a small but obnoxious squad of @150 members we are accepting corps into the alliance and new members everyday. Interested corps may contact me in-game for details.

Like it or not at least we are polarizing. At least we are taking a risk and trying something new and exciting rather run the pointless rat race you all run against BOB.
And the people saying we just dont "get-it" are not thinking outside the box. We arent seeking the traditional success in EVE. We arent after cap ships and outposts. We are after fun and this business provides an effective means to that end. We dont expect to acheive anything other than to make enough money to keep the ball rolling. So if your trashing us thats fine but so far we have been successful in our goals. We have grown from 1-2 fulltime wars to now 5-6 all the while squirelling away a few billion profit. In the coming few weeks we should be up over 10+ fulltime alliance wars. With so many targets we will likely have next to no impact on any one alliance. But the flip side of having so many targets is that we will get plenty of kills and plenty of loot. Its a viscious cycle that when applied by competent people is quite effective.

Good more targets means more fun.Hope you got the isk to keep this going along time,but i bet in a week or two our war will end.Good luck
If the Privateer concept fails then it fails. At least we tried and had a ton of fun. Thats what EVE is about.  So far though I must admit I am surprised by how well it is working.

If I had 1 isk for everytime we've heard that,,, 
By "real wars" I will assume your refering to the wash rinse repeat cycle with cap ships and pos that alliance warfare has become?Alot of us have mains out there and lets be honest dude, aside from the occassional titan sighting and random gatecamp the warfare that typically takes place is boring, repetitive stuff. In all seriousness that was one of the driving forces behind this whole privateer idea. Its something radically different, pretty exciting and has so far been the most fun I've had in EVE in 3.5 years.
So while we are giving you "easy PVP in empire"(whatever thats worth to you) you are giving us isk and fun. I'll take that deal anyday of the week.

your alliance doesnt want you,
They want your ISK and your Time and Effort.
It's more a family atmosphere here than in most org's in EVE.
And considering there is no tax, no fees and no requirement to donate for members I dont really understand why you think we want their isk. Frankly we dont need it, every war we have is paid for and then some.
Fianlly, yes we do want members time and effort. What org. in EVE doesnt? The important thing to understand here is we dont dictate when that time is or what you do with it. There are no rules here so members are free to do anythign they want when logged on. Id rate that a tad bit more enjoyable than some mandatory mining op for ships/mods you'll never see or use no?
