Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

There's going to be a lot of text here to read. The reason? It's better when recruiting to be as open and transparent as possible. Why? So you can get the correct recruits. Many recruiters in this game are happy to sell you a song and dance, morphing their pitch to fit whatever it is they think the person talking to them wants.

There's a gazillion corps in EVE, and more started everyday. So why yet another corp?

There needs to be a corp for those of us who want to small/medium gang PvP without having to deal with edge-lords and douche-maestros in our ear-holes.

It's really just that simple. EVE without EVEbarassment. So let's not waste your time, really...

Hit the back button now if...
- "Hey, they call each other that, why can't I say it!"
- "lol we raped them because **** is totally like killing space pixels and it's fun to say I raped someone!"
- "omg I'm so high right now and/or drunk which I'm probably not but I don't have a personality so I just talk about getting high and/or drunk incessantly!"
- "Let me tell you guys about this chick I slayed... with my ****! Guys I'm going to tell you all about having sex please believe me it actually happened, no really!"

If you do any of the above on comms, there's like... five thousand corps that are perfect for you. You will absolutely not have a hard time finding a corp. Have fun! And get out mi'thread!

When it comes to finding a corp in EVE, there is typically a sad, clear choice. Either you can join a corp that bills itself as classy/mature who invariably don't PvP much or you can join a corp that advertises small/medium gang PvP but has junk like slurs, usually untrue tall tales about sex, dank this, dank that... dank dank dank... or the worst... that high-pitched voice on voice comms, the sign of a fellow that hasn't yet quite smashed through the last part of the puberty process. It's just so tiring.

So the goal is to accumulate some like-minded Old Spacemen that want to PvP and aren't annoying edgelords. Do you necessarily have to be an ancient fellow? Nope. Do you even need to necessarily be a fella at all? Nah! Just need the basic maturity and social intelligence that you'd use offline.

Additionally, do you need to be a l33t PvP'er? Nope. Hell, honestly would prefer that you aren't. We're not a l33t-PvP outfit. To us, there's no kill too small. Not about being some quasi-RnK group, so if you're looking for something like that, you'll have to look elsewhere. On that note... do you need globs of SP or PvP experience? Nope. We'll be flying fairly cheap stuff for the most part and are happy to try to teach you the basics of PvP in EVE. You will die from time to time. Nobody will yell at you about it or make fun of you.

Culture out of the way, let's talk specifics.

- Timezones
So our timezone situation is a work in progress, here are the strongest time-zones we have currently:
Sunday -> Thursday: Between 1500-1930 and between 2100 and 0000 are our strongest timezones during the week.
Friday + Saturday: Between 1500 and 0300 is quite active.

We have veteran pilots in later USTZ during the week but I cannot guarantee they will be up for leading a fleet each night. So for a later USTZ person, you have to keep in mind that there may not be an opportunity each night during the week in USTZ for a roam. However, there almost always is on Friday/Saturday nights.

- Focus on small/medium gang PvP roams and gate camps
Not "lol we got 20 guys, we're flying small gang" but talking 2-15 people, roaming or gate-camping, responding to traffic through our staging, that sort of thing. No structure shoots, no dreams of a giant POS empire or joining some mega-blue coalition. Just some PvP whenever possible. No chasing rainbows for us. Are you allergic to humping a gate once in a while or ganking nerds? Then we're absolutely not for you.

- Living in NPC Delve
Situated right smack between Querious and Sov-Delve, can roam to shoot at whoever is living in Delve, can roam over to Querious and run around one of the most populated regions of null-sec, can even head south to Period Basis and watch as Russian bots warp their ratting ships into POS's. Okay, so two of those options sound good at least. Are all the kills super exciting kills? Nope. But there are kills to be had.

- Logistics
Already have gear and material staged, ready for recruits. Fit ships on contract, in the process of finalizing two brawling and two kiting doctrines. Need something imported? Not a real issue, will be at least a couple JF runs each week.

- How do you make isk?
It's NPC Delve so if you really need some isk, you can either grind some pirate missions or you can go run an incursion somewhere in high-sec or you can do market stuff. It is not really safe to mine, and honestly, that's not a great way to make isk anyways. This won't be a PvE corp so making isk is really something that will be left to your own devices. However, can promise that there is no shame in flying low-cost PvP ships and if you're super poor, we can SRP your insurance costs at least.

- Casually active and actively casual
The idea is to keep things pretty casual in terms of time requirements. Living in an NPC station allows us to do that. No structure shoots, no PAP links, no giant bluefest, no blobs of ships. You can't log on but once a week because of your offline schedule? Fine by me. Need to go AFK for two weeks? Your stuff will be fine in our staging location for when you want to log back in. Whether you're super active or semi-inactive, it doesn't really matter when it comes to our focus on small gang roams and camps.

The overall goal? Simple, to build up numbers to have solid PvP activity in both EUTZ and USTZ. Nothing more, nothing less.

The culture aspect sounds good to you, but you're looking for something else other than an exclusive focus on small/medium gang PvP? That's cool. Here's a quick list of other options.

- If you're looking for a wormhole corp with a similar culture in terms of not being a cockface, check out the old corp I created and built, Reasonable People, who are recruiting for their WH operations.

- If you're looking for a sov-null experience where you can PvE and PvP, I spent a few days in Off the Reservation and they were a nice, friendly group of fellows. Plus the guy that runs the alliance is accessible and seems pretty trustworthy.

Thank you for all the compliments Xavier, i only can and really have to return the favour. You are one of the guys that make New Eden a an awesome place and i enjoyed the time you spent with us. Everyone who is considering to go with Xavier, do not hesitate - just do it!

Enjoy Delve mate. Don't let the Blood Raiders get you.

Did you know: Corn dextrin, a common thickener used in junk food, is also the glue on envelopes and postage stamps

Which is why I always mocked people when they criticized my eating stamps, nothing like that delicious Corn Dextrin to start the day right. I always preferred mowing down on the 32 cent stamp personally, a better mix of paper product and tasty glue-stuffs than today's 49 cent stamp. Looking for a corp to mail your application to? Swing by OLDS chat today so we can see if you've enough adhesive to stick with us long-term.

Xavier is one of the best FCs that I've flown with. He built up my corp from nothing, and is one of (and perhaps even "the") original founders of the "don't be a dickhead" culture in EVE (which really shouldn't need to be a special type of culture, but sadly is).

If you join his corp you will learn how to PVP, and Delve/Querious is a great place to be doing it.

Also you'll probably fly Scythe Fleet Issues. Which is sexy. As hell. +1

Did you know: In the U.S., more women than men are tattooed (23% vs. 19%), according to a 2012 survey

And in 2020, 4% more women than men will be frequenting tattoo removal shops in order to fix the mistakes they made eight years prior when they were young and dumb. Do you want to remove the butterfly of F1 pushing from your body of EVE gameplay? Are you wishing to erase the kanji of hearing goofballs do look-at-me stuff from around your ear-lobe? If so, swing by OLDS chat today so we can ink up your application and start you on the path to a clean slate.

Did you know: American Indians used to believe that spirits peacefully lived inside each popcorn kernel. When the kernels were heated, the spirits would get so angry that their “houses” would start to shake. When it got too hot, the spirits broke out of their houses in a very angry burst of steam

Yup, and people wonder why they lost the Plains Wars to the United States. I wonder how much peyote you have to bathe yourself in to come to the conclusion that spirits live in kernels and that by making popcorn, you are offending some random gods. Are you looking to break out of your shell and explode into a small/medium gang PvP'er in an amazing transformation? Great, swing by OLDS chat today and we'll see if we can't butter up your game-time.

Did you know: In Mohave County, Arizona, if anyone is caught stealing soap, he must wash himself with it until the soap is gone.

I have a similar rule for myself, just with pie. If I steal a pie, I will eat that pie until the pie is entirely gone. Oh yeah, and it doesn't matter if I'm caught stealing the pie. Y'know, perhaps the only thing more delicious than stolen pie are mounds of killmails (ha ha, that's not true) . If you're looking for a way to cleanse your killboard with green goodness, swing by OLDS chat today so we can have a conversation.

Did you know: The Boston Strangler, Jack the Ripper, and Osama Bin Laden were lefties

No need for a pithy comment, that just about says it all, doesn't it? If you're like me and hiding in your house playing EVE so as not to be murdered by nefarious left handed people, you should swing by OLDS chat today. We'll try to get you on the right side of the tracks when it comes to EVE.

Did you know: The South American degu, a small rodent, uses urine to mark its passageways. Its urine reflects ultraviolet light, which the degu can see.

They also make awesome sounds when they run in metal wheels. Aww Degus, I miss you guys. Are you an EVE Pilot that wants to mark his territory and clear some passageways to PvP content? Swing by OLDS chat today so we can shine some ultra-violence back into your daily routine.
