Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

About me in RL:
I play with both of my toons about 2-10 hours a week in US TZ (central). To me this is just a cool, social game for a great diversion (that keeps the mind sharp), and not to be taken too seriously. I have a sense of humor and a thick skin. I cannot commit to playing all the time, as I am starting my own business early next year and often have to go away for up to a month at a time.

About my Toons:
Eggshan Lopan is currently based a couple jumps from Amarr and has an item bay full of random junk and T2 BPC's which he uses to build or invent whatever might bring a profit. He flies a blockade runner into lowsec quite frequently and enjoys it. He's dabbled with planetary interaction, POS Setup (in lowsec, that went well...) t2 drone inventions, a lot of t2 manufacture, and market PvP. He jokes a lot about making 'special sauces' which is simply humorous code for anything he produces.

Maximillian Bonaparte is a nomadic 10mil SP lowsec explorer with some PvP experience, and will pickup almost anything from all manner of exploration sites, a lot of which ends up in Egg's hanger (like t2 bpc's which egg can build). Eventually Max is to continue his PvP development, and I wont lie, MIGHT end up going pirate, but not until a certain amount of ISK is earned and not until some quality PvP training is found.

What I Want
A good Manufacturing or Merchant corp, perhaps in support of other players that do PvE or PvP combat in high or lowsec. I would like to learn or share tips about manufacturing, invention, research, and trading - and I understand that one man's trash is another mans treasure, esp in Eve, so I would like to learn how to work with others. I have honestly never been part of a corp or Alliance other than Max's RvB because I know I cannot make a participation commitment, but I really want to learn how a good, active corp (at least 30 members) with clear goals works, as I anticipate having much more time to play in the future. I also have a RL, and do not take this GAME seriously.

I have tried talking to manufacturing and indy corps on two occasions. One did not accept my app because of an innocent player donation from an HBC member that got them ridiculously suspicious, and another simply because I was joking about making T2 Sauces and Condiments. This is stupid, and a sign of people who take the game far too seriously, so if thats the culture of your corp I am definitely not a good fit.

I have no affiliation with any major alliance or corp, just random friends from all over. I am not closed to working in null or wormholes at all, but am more familiar and comfortable with low and highsec.

Thanks!
