Thanny Taunting

A few of the guys my Corp (Sp4rtans) decided to taunt a Thanny.  The Thanny pilot managed to get himself a GCC timer and so opened himself up for a little fun.

Corp Life

Playing EVE and not being in a corp is like having pizza without the toppings.  After 10 months of playing I still do not know why it took me 2 weeks to join a corp; I should of done it straight away. I would certainly have a very different outlook on the game had I not joined NERF.

For a new player the benefits you get from an active corp are huge, though it does depend on the corp you join. NERF was a hi sec industrial corp when I joined and in the intervening time we have had four hi sec wars (pretty sure it is four), moved to low sec, started some pvp, grown a reasonable amount (need much more), undertaken extended w/hole ops and had a very (very) short venture into 0.0.

In this time I have become a director (no want to be a CEO) and have the enviable task of getting people together for PVE missions.  Actually getting people to mission is not hard, there are regular fleets available ... getting people to do it for the corp is a lot harder (giving their hard earned loot to the corp hanger).

What now though?  Who knows ... there are lots of debates going on but one thing is certain we need to grow, we need to change to be able to do some of the things we dream up and so this coming year will hopefully see more change, more growth and some exciting changes.

In summary if your not in a corp ... get in one.  NERF is recruiting if your interested and we need all sorts of pilots ... join NERF! if you want to chat.

The Sand Box

Well eve-life has not been dull that is for sure, I have not even had enough time to get a ship out of station.  The biggest thing that has kept me busy over the last couple of days is diplomacy.  Why?  Well that is the sand box effect for you ...

Picture the following recipe.

• A few members of a corp that is part of our alliance acted in a way that is embarrassing to say the least.
• A knee jerk reaction by the alliance to this event, included in this reaction is a lot of other issues that have built up over time but not really been addressed.
• A corp reliant on status settings of the alliance.

With all of these up in there air you are left with a diplomatic nightmare to say the least.  There is a lot of talk about what Dominion is going to bring and for me that is quite exciting (especially now).  However I do not envy those that are at nearer the top of some of the larger null sec alliances.  I can see a bumpy road ahead over the next couple of months with some potential big changes happening.

As for my corp well I think it is time to review and make the most out of what has happened.  Sure might be uncomfortable for a while but it will sort itself out and will turn out one way or another.  It is all part of the mix of EVE which I am slowly learning about.
