Today BIG is celebrating it's 2 year anniversary.
2 *years* 
And what a 2 years it has been.
From a (not so) humble 1 man corp to the medium/large sized corp we are today - It's been quite the ride.
I still remember the pride of being the first corp to put a Thorax on the open market in Sinq Laison (it sold for 14.999.297 ISK back then  ) (I also remember going 29 jumps to get the BPo and returning back without it  ), the purchase of our first Battleship BPo (now that was a day!), joining the Fountain Alliance (never regretted it one second), getting the coveted Miner II BPo (when those still sold for some good ISK) and many many other events small and large.
And lets not forget the BIG Lottery and The BIG Deal
Still no BIG Casino I'm afraid  - Probably *the* project I most want to get of the ground as well (maybe one day, CCP willing....)
All things that have molded BIG into the corp it is today.
Actually - One thing that deserves mention above everything else are the BIGuns.
Whom without there would be no BIG.
My thanks goes out to all the BIGuns, both past and present, who's hard 'work' and mature and professional disposition have made the past 2 years a blast.
Never where there a friendlier bunch who all subscribe to two simple rules
1 : RL always comes first
2 : Have FUN!
Thats the core of beeing a BIGun, and why it's always been a pleasure playing the game.
I'd also like to use the opportunity to tip my hat at all the friends BIG has made all over the EVE cluster. Interacting with other corporations in the world of EVE is part of the experience, and there could be volumes written about all the dealings BIG has had with other corps.
Most of which have been pleasent  - Getting listed on the top 10 list of 'most liked' corps in EVE was another high point in BIGs history that will not be forgotten.
With Shiva around the corner I'm sure the next year will be equally interesting, and bring new challenges to be overcome and exploited (not *that* kind of exploit) to ensure that BIG continues to be succesfull in EVE.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. |

Just a personal thanks from me to Tornsoul.
I remember back 2 years ago. The game was pretty much still in planning and the loyal crowd didnt really have any idea how the release product would come out.
There was this discussion about corporation wars and stations sieges. We had some pretty good ideas back then. Something involving siege platforms that had to be towed in and anchored for station attacks. Attacking fleet would then have to defend their siege weapons from the onslaught of the defenders....
Anyways getting sidetracked :)
In the discussion back then I noticed a person (Tornsoul). He seemed to have the right attitude toward the pvp aspect of the game and a really good understanding of the diplomatic aspects. I must admit I didnt like the name "BIG" at first. But I liked the guy (or girl *humpf*). I decided that I could live with being a BIG'un (Married with Children reference) and boy did I make the right choice.
Thank you Tornsoul for 2 great years and thanks to all the other BIG'uns that have stayed true for so long. Diehard and loyal people are the backbone of any community. Lets hope we get another 2 good years before this thing goes E&B on us :)
ALSO
I have to send out a thanks to the entire community. 2 years ago we were ALWAYS debating with the horrid carebears. They basically tried *really* hard to sway ccp from the path they took with the game. Arguments like
-"no pvp online game will ever get enough subscribers".
-"Griefers will rule".
-"Dont tell me you think it's fun to lose something you worked 2 weeks to achieve"
-"Ships have to be insured 100%...for free!"
Was flying about.
This reminds me that I am i fact really grateful that there are enough people out there who think like I do and have the same idea of fun.
-we dont want easy games.
-we dont want guaranteed success
-we have played the ai for years and have come to the conclusion that it will NEVER be sufficient challenge.
So to all our friends and enemies in Eve (and even to CCP): thx for being here and proving games like this can work.

Thanks for the roses.
Funny thing : I actually remember that 'siege weapon' discussion (not in detail - but still)

Gratz on the long run. Here's to another 4 years.
And no, it isn't fun to loose something that I worked two weeks for... but i'll gladly go get ganked for fun in something that I only spent 2 days on... |
