Crime & Punishment

Dear ladies and gentlemen of crime & punishment,
Dear ladies and gentlemen of ‘not so scoundrels’,

former targets asked us if we´d show them how highsec wars in general and merc-day-to-day business works. So we thought about running out a “class”.

You´ll learn what it means to hunt in highsec - and how to avoid getting toasted.
Saying this means you´ll also learn how a merc works - and thus you´ll also get known to make a mercs hunt less fun (while you´re on the recieving side).

"scedule" will contain subjects like: "know your target", "how to find targets" and so on.
Some more specific knowledge like "the art of suiciding (for profit or assassination contracts)".
Pretty much everything can be covered related to the profession of highsec-dweller (just don´t expect mining operations).

There will be a small theory-part every "lesson" (with compact information upfront via evemail).
The practical part will outlast the theory by far (learning by doing).

We might also go on a roam in lowsec - it all depends on what the class is up to.

KB of the Boot'Camp: http://camp.killmail.org/?a=home


Why we think we are capable of this:
kane.killmail.org
StoneCold.eve-kill.net
Somali.killmail.org


'Details':
- size of class is limited due to my herpderp corp skills A mate will update the corp with his superior corp skills.
- will last as long as you like to stay
- costs: 300m 200m


Minimum requriremnts:
- be able to pilot at least 1 combat-able ship (resonable t1 frig with warp disruptor / scrambler) will do to get started.
- only fly what you can afford to lose
- willingness to learn (if you don´t: just send the isk as donation and don´t occupy a slot)
- for optimal learning process you will have to join the "House of sparrows" "Somali Coast Guard Bootcamp"
- you need "guidance", but none to hold your hand
- additional pro: beeing able to run locator agents can save you loads of isk (and make you shine in your group)

If you´re interrested and want on the "contact when available"-list, send me please an eve-mail (just DON´T send isk without a talk)


Additional info: (sort of Q/A)

Q: Why do you charge fee?
A: Simply because a wardec cost isk. If the corpwallets turns (to) fat and healthy we might start a ship reimbursement.

Q: Why do you run a school?
A: It turns out that some of our closest eve friends are ex-wartargets. And according to them there is a market. Filling market needs is good, aye?

Q: U´re bad at forums.
A: I know.

Q: I know allready a lot of stuff but I´m looking for a corp.
A: Feel free to join the class. If we invite the "top of of the class" into Somali or not is not yet decided (but it´s on the table).

Q: You can´t be always around. How do you guarantee that you even teach us?
A: I´m going to setup a corp bulletin with all needed links so you can find all information all the time. Corp mails will contain the 'theoretical stuff'. As fighting in large gangs is not what you´re going to learn here you´re encouraged to organise yourself in small (2 - 4)combat groups.

Q: I have no idea how pvp works. I also don´t want to risk real isk on the process of learning. HALP ME!
A: No problem at all. We realy teach you the way you like (including risk-free lessons on Singularity if that´s what you looking for).

Q: I heared Kane is a cannibal and you are a ne'er-do-well/scoundrel/whatever. I don´t dare to participate in your class.
A: Besides from public assumption Kane and me are 'normal' people (whatever that means). With jobs, family and everything else. And to be honest: the group of "our kind" of people is way more relaxed then 'them others' (ingame).


For Questions please contact me ingame or via evemail.

EDIT:
Public channels for chatting and Q&A is "Sparrowlings"

Thank you very much for your kind words Sabriz.

In fact Kane and me dealt around 12b isk in damage in the 3 weeks we fly together (while still on 'holiday-mode').

So far its planned to keep it open.
As people can join at willing and stay as long as they want.

Awesome Stone...

Thanks for setting this up.

Now that is some proper content creation right there.

I like this idea very much.

Is there a date when the classes will start or are you still waiting for enough people to sign up?

What timezone will the classes be held? During the week or weekend?

Is the fee for a certain amount of lessons? Will the House of Sparrows wardec corps so we have things to shoot at while learning?

Is there a payment plan available? (only partly joking)

Thanks for answering any of these!

Have you considered working with the Gecko on this endeavour?

His brief stint in my recent war was outstandiing, he did over three billion ISK damage solo to a bunch of mercs that, while not good, were at least competent.

Plus I know you move in some of the same circles.

good luck with this guys

have you thought about ally in a few wars to keep the cost down ?

That would mean some of paperwork :effort:.

The lazy bum inside me cries out loud: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
My resonable side just says: yeah, everything is ofc possible on a base by base agreement.

Don´t forget we all meet at the same level - as human beeings and video gamers.

EDIT:
If you spread the word and / or bring friends with you we also are up for negotiations (like a group-discount).

Awesome service, keep it up.
