In my time as a capsuleer, I have noticed a few things.

Our economy here in New Eden is living and breathing - and yet there is one element that seems to be lacking, if not missing entirely.

Charity is something that happens from player to player - but there seems to be noone willing to organise charity on a large scale. I have decided to dedicate myself to the creation of a corporation that is not for profit, not even for my own wages. I will be dedicating 100% of donations to good causes.

And so, I ask for two things. Firstly, I need generous people who share my vision of a New Eden ready to give back to the unfortunate. People who will give as much or a little as they can to help those in need.

Secondly, I need appeals for support. There is no point in having a charity with no-one to give to!

I can be contacted regarding donations, and requests for support here or through my Evemail Com.

Please donate generously, and if Shimaya Recycling helps you, Please tell your friends to donate.

Spread the word that charity is here!

Many Thanks

I consider rescuing illegal slaves from certain death and helping them reintegrate with society a charitable cause, and there's an infamous corporation dedicated to doing just that.

After the tragic events on Caldari Prime, a capslueers managed a very 'large scale' charity drive.

Hi There -

My apologies if I wasn't clear - A corp helping capsuleers is one thing, but a corp that helps people to help others is my dream.

My intention was not to say other charities aren't doing enough, just that my idea of a charity hasn't been realised. Yet.

Interesting program of yours. I'm working on a similar charity.

It's really simple, all you have to do is give me any amount of ISK, preferably larger than 1 bil, and I'll double it for you and give it back.

Think of it as a "long term investment".

I agree - though if you want to donate to a Corp whos job it is to distribute to the most needy, we're the people to come to!

If you do want to contribute - Please feel free to send a donation!

I suppose you mean capsuleer ran organisations, I'd suggest some clarification there.

As for your seemingly noble cause, I'd be willing to contribute after seeing some kind of a study, programme or plan. Without one, it merely looks like a poor investment plan at best and a monetary scam at worst.

Most "players" that I know of aren't very charitable at all. They spend a lot of money buying you drinks, but that's not really charity because they always expect some kind of compensation in return, and if they donate to charity it's usually just so they can say that they did it to impress girls, and besides a lot of those donations are tax-deductible so arguably it doesn't even count. I prefer the honest upstanding guy to the "player" type, even if he doesn't shout you as many cocktails at the bar or donates less to "save the grotty heathen underlings" type causes.

Could not be better said. The other day I ran search and rescue operations in the vicinity of a destroyed Thanatos in a neighboring system. I was late to the scene due to dodging hostile craft. But I made it to the distress beacons of the lifepods and took them all back to the home station with me where I handed them over to officials that deal with the lost and forsaken. Those who find themselves on the wrong end of a dangerous Capsuleer. The nationality of their captain or what flag he flew unser matters not.

What matters is saving Humanity from itself.

Saving humanity from itself by building new Sansha implanted automatons, eh? I'm guessing not many would be buying what your master is selling if they had any real choice in the matter.

On average, a capsuleers choice leads to the deaths of thousand to pad his or her wallet. Why do you worship at the flawed and blood soaked altar of choice?

Sadly, current economic... mechanics... really do not allow for much interaction between capsuleers and regular folk. We can destroy their ships, we can set up completely automated factories on planets, and we can buy & sell "passengers" on the market. Other than that, though... the actual paperwork for sending food or vaccines to needy people the surface of a planet is something I have yet to figure out. That's why I just run transport mission instead and let the governments/corporations figure it out.

I am very glad you mentioned the Salvation Angels.

Often times our... their benevolence goes unnoticed.

Many organizations have benefited from our generosity and rely on or discretion.

'Player', or sometimes 'playa', is a slang word for capsuleer, as far as I can tell, often used by demented capsuleers who view their capsuleer activities, including massacres, as a game.

My thanks. As someone with a secluded upbringing, I often miss common slang.
