An idea for the typical carebear corporation

What do you think? Should I get an alt account and make a corporation and start recruiting with this post. This is not really recruiting so I thought this would fit in the General Discussion channel. If someone is stupid enough to think that this is serious let me tell you here that this is humor and in my honest opinion describes perfectly what is happening right now.

Hello everyone

We are a newly started extreme carebear corporation called [We power own rocks] [POWN], who just loves to do nothing but industry-stuff and mining in high-end-hisec (0.9 and above). Right now we do not dare to go to 0.8 sec or lower since there are these nasty drones that really annoy your precious mining ships. As soon as we get a devoted Destroyer pilot we might consider moving to 0.8 sec since the ore amount is better. We also recruit industrial ship pilots for moving cargo from our current base system Perimeter to Jita for maximum profit! Counter-Canflippers are also urgently needed

Right now we have an Osprey and a trial-account that is going to train for an Orca, so we need more people with same level of mining skills. The only requirement is that you must be able to fit a mining laser in at least one of your ships (if you actually have more than one ship, lol). Our taxes are set at 10% so that for every rock that you sell the corporation can put into its ship replacement plan

The corporation is also looking for an alliance who could help with protecting us from canflippers and nasty war-deckers

Our plans for the future is to get enough members to actually have an Orca for mining profitable and for everyone to get just enough money to get a plex every month. Since the prices are currently really high, we should be getting enough money for a plex each month with about five hours of mining each day for every day of the month. If that doesn't sound exciting, think about it when we have our own industrial ship hauling the ores! According to my calculations it should then only take us four hours of mining each day for every day of the month to get enough money for buying a plex each month. But if everyone mines a bit more than four hours a day when we reach this exciting moneymaking-speed we could actually spend some extra money to buy an Orca, and then, my friends, the money will start pouring in

This is my special message to hisec pirate corporations
We are also looking forward to getting wardecced by corporations with less than 10 people in them. You should know though that wardecking us leads to us not mining and therefore also leads to higher mineral prices and higher prices on the ships that you use to wardeck us. So think about it, we are actually helping you, but what do we get in return, wardecks and canflippings.


Please do note that this recruitment text is just a compilation of all the thoughts that hisec miners have told me. The meaning of this is to show how the system really works (incase someone is actually stupid enough to not have known about this before). I'm a bit disappointed about the corporation name, and I'd need some better suggestions if you are kind enough to provide me with some :) .

I think that sums it up pretty much, you have a winner there, they'll be applying in their droves.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Here are some good carebear names:

Advanced Mining Co. [MINO]
The Mining Corp [RORD]

I think with that post you could get 100 members within one week. Don't forget to advertise 0% tax on bounties.
