Unless you have a burning desire to join a small npc null PVP corp and by some miracle have no contacts in such entities after all these years i can't see that my good-will credit is worth much to anyone.

Don't sell yourself short. You actually did just bring up something of interest to me.

I've been thinking of moving to nulsec for a long time, but for many reasons I've not been able to find a corp that seemed a fit for my many interests. Now maybe I have another one to consider.

Hello,

if you want I can send another 5B, for a total of 10.

Well that would have made next time easier, doubling again from 25B to 50B, lol, but I think since I've already received half the ISK from investors, I should just stay the course and keep this offering at 20B.

So please, just send send the reserved 5B when convenient. Thanks!

Well if you want to chat mail me privately or convo me.
I am head of recruitment anyway and don't really do the hard sell. For smaller groups it is more important that everyone wants similar things and that everyone gets along.

Quick Update:

* A corpmate with an idle 20b ISK told me he would have loaned me the ISK at a much more favorable rate. I completely forgot to ask him. Oops

* I placed orders for ~11b in minerals. Another corpmate placed orders for ~50b in minerals. Chaos ensued as we didn't realize the other had placed mineral orders, and we both started hauling minerals away from the deliveries hangar. For a while I was feeling quite smug, yet confused, having quadrupled my investment so easily. Roll

* One of my spreadsheets was never really adequate, so I fixed that. After starting manufacturing jobs based on the new spreadsheet, I was unexpectedly very short of materials. Re-checking my spreadsheet revealed that I had overlooked some material changes CCP made. Shocked

* While updating material changes in another spreadsheet I noticed a huge, enormous, OMGWTFBBQ size of error that probably cost me a lot of ISK in the past. After overhauling that spreadsheet I still noticed that there was a lot of amplification: a small change in prices made an unexpectedly large difference. After updating prices and triple-checking everything, I was happily surprised to see that profits would be about double what I previously expected. Big smile

Overall things are progressing slower than I would have hoped, but still well.

Your story of spreadheet woe is why i use a very different system on my manufacturing alt.
i use iph to make sure i am building stuff that is profitable and using the correct thingy for invention
i don't really look at which thing is most profit.
i don't keep track of mats i have. stock, profits or anything really.
I have no spreadsheet of my own.
i just buy stuff, haul build, move back to market and sell.
i have 10 lines going 24/7 invention and build and no POS.
The reason i do it this way i because i am lazy and wouldn't update my spreadsheets or anything else that would be needed.
If people like yourself struggle on occaision then i would have no chance.

I don't like third-party tools, as they don't present the data in a manner I personally find most useful.

I once shared a spreadsheet with a corpmate, and he found it totally useless for his own needs. Personal taste I guess.

One spreadsheet which remains very out of date (I have a separate hangar of BPO not on the spreadsheet), tracks my entire BPO inventory. It is primarily outdated because when I started it years ago, I chose a very poor layout that is extremely tedious to maintain. It wasn't until my BPO collection had grown to a significant size that the foundation cracks began to appear. I'm still mulling over a good way do it; layout and breaking it down into parts and sub-assemblies and such.

My spreadsheets are an issue, simply because until this bond I was coasting along. Now that I'm working with other people's ISK again, I take that very seriously, so it is incentive to do more than just continue coasting.

Interest payments for March have gone out:

Proton Power: 250 million ISK
Vaerah Vahrokha: 250 million ISK
Arancar Australis: 100 million ISK
RavenPaine: 50 million ISK
Mr JLB Matekoni: 250 million ISK
Silvetica Dian: 100 million ISK


A brief summary for March:

Current Bond Wallet: 15,546,070,322.64 ISK
Current Sell Orders: 3,789,016,109 ISK
Est. In-Production Value: 24.6 billion ISK

Est. Change after expenses: +9,496,318,739 ISK

The amount in the bond wallet is misleading, as it has been active. Further, I expect the bond wallet balance to drop significantly in April as production progresses; May's activity should be dominated by sales for the end of the bond.

Worth noting is that I replenished my POS fuel stockpile with a 365 day supply.

Isk received thankyou.
I hope you bought the fuel before the spike in prices. I suspect the price spike is permanent and represents the end of the stockpiles built up during the infinite ice age.
Good luck with the rest of the project.

Mid-month update.

* The month began with a wardec, which has affected production. The war has now ended.

* As a precaution, all manufacturing was moved to NPC stations, which is safer, but slower.

* Sales have been abysmal, though I finally managed to dump last month's inventory.

* I've taken steps to insure interest will be paid regardless, at the expense of manufacturing efficiency and profits.

Hopefully the second-half of the month improves.


On an AFK note, I signed today to purchase the condo I've been renting. Deal closes May 14th. My first property. Not financed, so no mortgage to pay. *\o/* However I did ransack my savings and investments.

If I could pay via ISK, I'd have gotten a larger place Blink

There is a Porsche dealer across the street. I wonder if they take ISK...
