I don't know if it is just me, or something I am doing, but it seems that everytime I find a corp that seems a good fit for me, it dies off in a couple months! This has happened four or five times in the last year or so.
Anyone else have this happen to them?


Hmm... I have a business proposition: forget about war decs on rival corps: hire ME to join them!!! I'll make them die off in just a matter of time!!!!

Most corps die. Especially carebear corps in highsec. It's not you, it just goes that way.

Where do the people go? If they all just quit had they been playing long?

If they went to another corp couldn't you go with them? I think it's better to find people you like and move around with them than find a banner you like and stay under it until it falls.

No hire him and then kick him off to EA.
Then when EA fails buy it all up!
Thus you have ample material from which to finally finish WIS!

So what you're saying is you're some sort of Player Corporation albatross?

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

The corp survival rate is pretty bad. I wouldn't take it personally.

I have the same problem...

Just change corps to alliances, and add "Because of Goonswarm."

You only kill corps. I kill ALLIANCES.

I joined Atlas. It died.

I joined IT. It died.

I joined -A-, it's technically still alive, but in zombie (Stain) mode.

I joined Raiden, it didn't die, but it got seriously wounded.

I joined NCDot and it got Goonstomped out of the north.

INIT, you next!

Nope, you aren't alone.

Every alliance I was a part of has since disbanded. Several of them being Sov holding alliances with plenty of ISK and members. Just not enough to stop the blobs. The corps go on, some to be much bigger than they were when I was in them.

I was always active in the political side of the game so I knew why things were happening. I didn't have anything to do with it but I can take responsibility and say I didn't have anything to do with fixing it either.

Actually come to think of it, every corp I joined had the CEO die not long after.
And yes I do mean die, as in no longer having a pulse and apt to be amongst the first zombie hoards.
Oh and then the corp dies after.

Common factor between you two is the lack of follicles.
