Best and most serious role play alliance in Eve?

I only found one corp that ever did that. Can't remember the name, but no matter because I remember the corp closing at some point. I wasn't actually in the corp, but they had a public channel. I joined the channel and hung around. I ended up thinking it was kind of lame. Basically because the the corp was a standard ratting corp. You'd think Eve, on account of its politics and the ability to hold systems and fight meaningful wars and all would actually have a good environment to integrate alliance goals with a role-play flavor. I find that the way people play Eve kind of works against this. Also, given the lack of avatar play and that we are stuck in the CQ, you can't really do more than chat in character. It didn't work for me.

You can tell from my bio that I have a bit of an RP flair, but mostly it is exercised in giving my characters personalities and backstories and relationships in my head. It's not something I do with others. i noticed the response above that said there are a lot of RP groups out there. Frankly I hardly found any and they weren't any good.

Oh and I too am a serious character with a silly name.

I think all EVE comms is roleplaying all the time. You are talking about plans, diplomacy. In other hands having the formality of communication thats just part of the culture of the corporation.

I seen corps where comms is a mess, but other were only certain people can talk. THere is a lot out there it all depends on the culture. I would expect FW people more formal than pirates though.

Unlike most of them, however, your name is actually clever and amusing.

The above was just an example of typical day to day US Navy/Marines comm talk, but is there an alliance that applies this?


I hate to burst your bubble but that is NOT how I communicated in military aviation command post (both Aussie and US Army)...
We dropped all ranks and never asked for permission to report, we'd even drop call signs once we got to know peoples voices over radio...

Our scouts(Helicopters) didn't asked for more orders, they thought for themselves and kept scouting.
I'm not there to make some officer feel important, I'm there to relay info to the officer so he can make a decision.

EVE fleet comms is pretty close to what combat comms is like, Short, sharp and to the point (without the swearing)

Of course there is always jokes and silly buggers :) but that's cause its a game and no one is going to rage that hard about being whelped :)

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

(That "RP" is a cover so they can keep their anti-AFK witch hunt going.)

I would say CVA fielding a complete Amarr squad in the latest alliance tournaments was a testament to how serious they are about role playing.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

I'm all for the RP.

Honestly, I'm really fond of knightalk, damselspeak and orcgarble and ****.

But in EvE, it's so fast and close and personal...

Why have:

Quote:
Scout: "Admiral, permission to report, sir?"
Admiral:"Go ahead"
Scout: "Admiral, forward marine force recon scout reporting twelve war targets in the system, request new orders, sir"
Admiral: "Roger, proceed to next system and report"
Scout: "Sir, aye aye, sir"


When we can have:

Scout: "FC ?"
Admiral:"Go for FC."
Scout: "We have 12 WT in here, what's next ?"
Admiral: "Ok, jump +1 and report."
Scout: "On it."

Truly in EvE, more than in any game I know, you are roleplaying yourself.

OT: I've never crossed anyone roleplaying in EvE, except a few corp "flavoring" their gameplay with some specific theme, such as a "We are Serpentis, we live in Serpentis space, fly their ships and do missions for them, but also a lot of other non-related stuff". Also confirming the CODE. RP is an excuse for plain and barely-veiled goodhearted legit EvE space-dickery.

But such banter already exists pretty much in every organized alliance, OP.

FC: OK scout go plus 1
Scout: Jumping - system is clear
FC: Fleet jump fleet jump warp to outgate scout plus 1
Scout: Jumping - 2 neuts in system one thrasher on the gate griffin on 5 AU scan
FC: OK try to get us tackle on the thrasher - fleet get ready if the griffin shows up on grid you switch and blap the griffin.
Scout: POINT!
FC: Jump jump jump kill the thrasher
Random corpie: Secondary point
Random corpie 2: Webbed
Random corpie: Down
FC: Get his pod
Scout: Pointed...
Random corpie: Griffin on grid...

...
...

I think you get the idea, cadet.

Omission corrected.


And to the OP: There are many RP corporations active in EvE. If they act the way you state as example I would not be able to say.
However, you could always browse the Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center part of the forum to find a suitable Corporation that fits your play style and/or start a thread there yourself, stating your wish to join such a corporation.

Candi sits down in Ezwal's lap softly, giving little flick to her long, blonde braids to send then over her shoulders with a childish smile. She glances down at her datapad, shuffling her little butt around a little to get comfy.

Hey Ezwal, check this add out.

Candi turns with a childish grin, lifting her goggles and resting them on her forehead. She holds up her datapad to Ezwal's face as her darkly glossed lips curl into an excited smirk.

Wanna join my corp.....!?

Candi asks innocently, the warmth of her breath lands on your neck and earlobe as she speaks. Combined with the gentle aroma of what smells like bubblegum, possibly from her shower gel, Ezwal may notice tthe petite little Intaki's accent is strangely laden with what sounds like Achuran under-tones. She thrusts her datapad into the face of Ezwal once again while bouncing in his lap a little.

Well do ya, do ya, do ya?

C'mooon, you know you wanna ...

Roleplayers kind of make me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Then I realized I talk and act different when I'm on this character and do stuff that my other characters don't do.
