Last I checked these guys were over 800 members and still decced by PIRAT, Marmite and a few other merc alliances.
I like their attitude a lot and their CEO is doing his best to learn what he can... and apply that to his utmost.
The fact that they actually bring a veritable horde of newbros out to confront a full PIRAT fleet of 20+ T3's and 4 or 5 Nestors and actually manage to pop a Loki is pretty inspiring.

Another vid uploaded with their second attempt. It's pretty good.

Strangely, there seems to be no 'save teh chilluns' outcry when it comes to this particular batch of baby seals. Maybe it has something to do with their CEO and their reaction to the situation.
*shrug*

I'll be watching them with interest in the coming months.

I think it's funny that we still have carebears screaming "PvP drives newbies away!" while this is going on right in front of their faces.

Broken records, one and all.

Undoubtedly some newbies will quit because of PvP, but such is the nature of the beast; it is a PvP game after all.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

To be honest I think a large part of why they're doing so well dwells in the attitude of the leadership.
The whole 'what's that? I dunno.... GET IT!' mentality is paying off well for these guys from what I can tell.
Sure, they make mistakes such as finding out the hard way what a smartbombing Rohk does. They also seem to be adapting as a result.
The second video, (and I'm sorry if the link took folks to where I stopped watching - I fail at youtube) showed them trying to employ ECM to disrupt the logi chain.

They seem keen to try new things and see how they work and appear to be having fun in the process. I'd say they're winning EVE.

what game did they come from ?
A large percentage of the corporation are people completely new to to the game, those people mostly consist of Arumba's dedicated followers on Twitch/YouTube. When he got a war declaration, he put out a call to arms with no commitment needed on one of his live streams where people flocked to the game to join in the madness.
Most of the viewers were fans of his videos of playing Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings (quite often the multiplayer videos with fellow streamers; Northernlion, Quill, Mathas and also the 'tac-team' stuff with Shen).

Then there's also a small collection of us (I'd estimate about 50-60) who've been around the block a few times and have returned after a year or more off the game, along with some who've not stopped at all since starting in the mid 2000's.

Oh we're definitely not going to stop growing and doing more fleet activities, we probably won't do constant swarms as we want to keep trying new tactics and doing the same thing over and over can get stale... but we're definitely not going to stop having a fun time.

Looks like we're on 794 members at the moment, there's the occasional drop in numbers here and there but the new sign-ups seems to heavily out weight those leaving.
We currently have 12 corporations/alliances that are at war with us (3 of those seem to be doing absolutely nothing), probably the most active war targets who engage with us are PIRAT, The Marmite Collective, Confederation of xXPIZZAXx and It Must Be Jelly Cause Jam Don't Shake.

Keep up the good work then.
I look forward to more fleet footage of you guys.
It really does make some of the boring twelve hour shifts at work far more tolerable.

OMG, as a player of several years I never saw an Eve video that caused more facepalm and pure fun a the same time while watching it. Really makes me want to join and try to relieve the simple times...
Well, lets hope they stay on the true path and don´t get sidetracked like BNI has become.

Also, I remember watching a few Crusader Kings II videos from that guy a year or so ago (props for having an excellent taste, btw); the world truly is small......

I want those days again. I remember when me as a noob and a bunch of other noobs got awoxed in a corp and the Brit decided to make a corp and drag us along with him. We were all learning and experiencing the game with each other at the same time.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?
