Experienced FC/Solo/MultiBox PvP'er - Looking at Options

I'm gonna start off with the short and sweet version for you to decide if you want to read on.

I'm looking at corps in the following areas/situations:
- Sov and NPC 0.0
- Non FACWAR lowsec.
- Wardec (Potentially)
- Read my most recent reply for update on building projects.
- Early EU or Late US/AU TZ Preferred. (I often work 19:00 - 02:00)

100% not interested:
- PvE Focused Groups
- Militia
- Wormholes

I've been sporadic the past year a bit, was living in a situation that had no internet for 7 months, then I came back for a few months and was getting back in the groove, but then I got promoted and had to go away for a month or two. So I'm not as rusty as someone who hasn't played for a year, but my killboard will show some randomness.

I'm looking for options to consider, I have some idea's of what I want, but like to survey the options while deciding. A great looking group in one area can influence deciding that over another with no great options.

I have the following basic stats, to conclude the shorthand portion of this:
- Several characters, 100mil, 75mil, 65mil, and 54mil SP mains.(Can fly most anything, 2 or 3 times in many cases)
- FC Experience. Including small gang, black ops, bombers, large sov fleets, training, and solo/mutli box.
- Experience organizing and setting up pvp department structure, fleet comps, and member management.
- Good Killboards
- Self sufficient but a team player by nature.

____________________________________________________________________


For anyone wishing to read on, I'm going to include some history of my eve experience thus far, and help you get an idea of who I am and where I've been. If you have any questions beyond that, don't hesitate to ask.

I have spent the majority of my eve career as a member of Nulli Secunda, and am proud of it. The Nulli today is not really what it used to be, be that good or bad, but there are many aspects of what it was that are still present today. What always made nulli so worthwhile to me, was the ability and interest to fight outnumbered, and make the most with what you've got. That's something I really like trying to do myself. I don't mind defeat, I don't mind learning experiences, and trying new things. My goal is to get fights that I can remember a year or two later. Fights where I was challenged and pushed to the limits, whether I won or lost. But, preferably a victory. :-P

While in nulli I was involved in FC'ing and pvp leadership. Was in charge of the black ops division for a time, and small gang warfare. My experience in leading large fleets is primarily academic, I was involved in them for a long time, learning from some of the best, but my actual hours logged leading fleets of 100 or more is limited. Though, when I did it, it was largely successful. It's an area I could expand on in the future, but probably not my true calling. What I really love is small gangs, harassment, and quality over quantity.

I spent some time in DNS, and that kickstarted my black ops experience, but I've expanded/improved it over time. It's an area where I know a good amount, but I honestly find hotdropping a bit boring/repetitive. I am not looking for a group who primarily does hot drops.

I'd like to continue FC'ing. I prefer to have a group that has consistent attendance. If you give me the same guys to fly with, and they give good effort, we'll have alot of success. It's hard though, when it's constantly different people. If it's a building project that is the most important thing to me.

That's probably enough to give you a good idea about me. If you want to know more let me know. Mail/reply me with info about your corp, and I'll get in touch if it's anything I'd consider. I'm open minded, so I'll probably talk to alot of people who I won't end up joining, just to make sure I don't sell someone short incorrectly.



EDIT/ADD: Copied from my reply, just because I know people rarely read replys on these. Relevant info.


Going to bump this for good measure, I rushed this a bit at first, hoping to get a group before really getting back into the groove of playing, since all my stuff was in transit from WH to jita.

Realized I have regained the bug for small gang and solo pvp. I'm in a teaching/building mood, I've got patience for things I got tired of before, and I'm just generally excited to find a group to put this energy to use.

Because of that I'm now leaning more towards a building project than an established group. 180 degree turn from what I originally posted here. I'm still listening to all offers, but I would love to come in and really help be a difference maker in a group that is close to breaking through, but just needs that final spark.

I am avoiding black ops and hot drop as a common activity, just as a final note. It gets old to me. I'd rather move gate to gate and do things of that nature, I find it leads to better fights, even if fewer kills sometimes.

Online, convo/mail/reply with info about you. This is the other TZ I was targeting, though I'll fit with most.

We are NOT looking for the following:

1) Non fun pilots (Cause well...that sucks for everyone)

2) Pilots who refuse to use team speak during optional Ops (Because that is lame)

3) Pilots that are meanies (Mean people suck)

4) Pilots that view EVE as a second job ( This should be obvious)

5) Pilots that are NOT fun (did I mention that?)

6) Pilots that are awoxers (I have a list and am willing to share)

7) Pilots who would not enjoy our entertaining local chat ( I DO give out baked goods to the neighbors and I also admit I WILL ask them to kill the strangers)

8) Pilots that do not like baked goods mentioned in the *FUN* aspect! (Did I mention we are not like the rest of the corps?)

9) Pilots that are shy ( How can you have fun if you are shy?)

10) Pilots that insist on a PG13 Corp (That is NOT us)

11) Pilots who are goon friendly (We are NOT goon friendly.....yuk)

That being said....If you do NOT fall into the above list you *might* get into our corp!

What we DO have to offer!

1) We DO like to have fun! ( This is a game afterall and it is SUPPOSED to be fun)

2) We DO have a dedicated Training Coordinator (He know lots of stuff!)

3) We DO accept NEW PILOTS (See above: re: Training Coordinator)

4) We DO have a sweet spot in 0.2 space close to high sec and null. (Newer pilots can be in our office in High Sec while training)

5) We ARE a 2006 Corporation (That means we have secret stuff)

6) We DO send out a weekly Newsletter, have a website and forums (Cause we like to be informed)

7) We DO have an Industry Section that is growing rapidly (Cause we like to have lots of stuff)

8) We DO have a Black Ops Squad ( ----------nothing to say here as this is a secret---------)

9) We DO like to mega mine ( um um yeah..moving on)

10) We DO have MANY OLD Pilots that know and have stuff ( More secret stuff with this....shhhh)

11) We DO have some wonderful friends ( Need to know basis on this one)

12) We DO have scheduled Ops (But that schedule is a secret)

13) We DO like to PvP (This is EVE afterall)

14) We DO like worm holes ( just throwing this in )

14) We DO have more stuff that makes us who we are - however I am not allowed to say in the forums (I do not like to get into trouble)

****************************************************************************************************************************************

Basically....

1) If you are a returning pilot we have a spot for you

2) If you are a Newer Pilot we can train you as long as you have at least 10 million skill points

3) If you are in a boring corp and want fun then we are it

Please feel free to convo me in game (Disclaimer: If you are an older toon I will have you speak to one of our many older pilots as I won't be able to answer your questions...just saying)
