ABOUT US_____________________]
X.C.O.M has experience dating back to 2006 with their pilot Tasic (alt Yunic) and brings plenty of experience to this corporation. Our corporation has experience operating in wormhole space (farming combat sites, asteroid belts, gas cloud mining), manufacturing, mining, PVP Combat, you name it, we've tried it.

We are currently focusing on empire space and worm hole space until we can support our entire corporation to move to low sec or perhaps 0.0 some day. Most of our players currently are online around 7pm EST and anywhere up to 3am EST. This will change as our member-base grows and we can fill additional time zone slots.

Our corp is newly formed and there is lots of room for advancement if you show that you are committed, helpful and loyal. If you are a griefer, there is no point to even apply because we use a very strict recruitment process and can weed out these individuals. We operate out of Judra / Tash-Murkon but may move when our members grow and we find a more fitting system for all of our operations.

There isn't any real age limit to our corporation but we do try to seek mature players, and we understand that age typically doesn't dictate how mature someone can be. I've seen more mature 15 year old players then 30 year old players. Keeping this in mind, we do ask that everyone in our corporation treat each other with respect and help out when you can. Above all else, we understand Real Life comes first above this game and speaking as a father of two young children, I can understand outside commitments and temporary leaves from EVE from time to time.

Join us today if you feel like you'll fit in with our crew !

Cheers,
Tasic aka Shane.

See, there's your problem.

Your little 5 man corp (assuming none are alts) can't possibly offer all this to new members. To claim otherwise is an outright lie. Your recruitment ad, along with dozens of other generic BS ads, waffle on about menial activities that the corp does together when there's barely enough members to fill a small Japanese car.

Your corp is in sort of a catch 22 losing scenario. You advertise all these activities that your corp supposedly does, new members join, then they find out there isn't enough people to actually do anything and they leave. Or they see the BS for what it is beforehand and don't even bother joining.

Why join your tiny 5 man corp when you don't even have enough members to do the activities it supposedly participates in? People join corporations because they want to do activity X with corpmates, not sit around in a tiny corp hoping and wishing for enough members to actually do something.

You're trying to create a corp from the ground and make something of it, good on you. However you're going about it all the wrong way. If you try to be a little of everything in the hopes of appealing to everyone, you attract no one. This fallacy is the number one reason why new corps fail to take off.

Be realistic with your corp goals. Focus on one or two aspects of the game and really push to do them well. Yes you'll exclude this or that group of players, but the players that enjoy those aspects of the game your corp is focused on will show interest in joining.

Then when you have a large enough member base can you start to branch out into other activities. As it stands now, your corp supposedly participates in more activities than you have members (again, assuming none are alts).

That's just sad.
