Congratulations to @Hotsync on promotion to Member!

Hello @Dmitri Blok - Valence B here, and thanks for your patience. As others have already asked many questions, I think the most helpful way to get the ball rolling is to send us your API information. I suspect you are already familiar with this EVE-procedure, but let me know if you have any questions or concerns. You can use the following link: https://community.eveonline.com/support/api-key/CreatePredefined?accessMask=4294967295 Please check the "no expiry" option, and send me the resultant information via a PM here. Note - this is a good opportunity to review what API's you have outstanding and delete any that are no longer needed. Also, please let me know if you have any questions about the corp or alliance that have not already been answered by others.

Congratulations to @Jonni Favorite on promotion to Member.

That is indeed the man himself.

Ditto!

Congrats to @Shiror on promotion to Member.

I have been working nonstop since this morning, with a 15 minute break for food. Not expecting to leave work for another hour or two. You should change the name on your old account, so all that history is not lost. If you try to log in as Devilspawn, there is a password reset option. Once you are logged in, you can change your own display name in the profile. This will also fix the access issue, since you'll then be recognized as a Ghost. Stop trying to make more work for me! We do purge accounts to go inactive for long periods of time. You have the option to rejoin when you return, of course. But no guarantees as to what might happen to your assets if you're away for months - this would be true with any null or low-sec entity that could be prone to relocation. Can talk more about this later.

Hello friend! Is this new account something you are doing deliberately, or did you just forget your old login info? You are a Ghost right now - not a Vet! You need to join an active chapter and survive reorientation to have your Vet title reinstated.

Sounds good - let's try to get you into the corp tonight or tomorrow!

Wow. I need some time to process all that, so I can't imagine how you feel. Yes, we have reviewed your API. We learned that you were a diplo for the enemy, which we already knew.. Hopefully things will stabilize for you, and we can connect this weekend. By the way, our alliance has temporarily set Blue standings to FCON folks in order to allow them to move some assets out. I won't be offended if that bears on your decision here - let us know.

Hi Shrikken - are you still out and about?

That response had many words!

Hi Shrikken, Thanks for stopping by - Valence/Solomon here. You background and situation are a good match with the types of folks who tend to thrive here. So we're off to a good start. How long has it been since you last played EVE? Have any of your accounts or characters remained active during that time? What was the reason you previously left, and what was the reason you came back? What kind of SP / piloting capability has Shrikken (or your other characters) got? And what's your favorite role or ship to fly in a fleet? Out of game, what's a dish and/or drink that you can prepare well?

Quick update. I heard from Verrim in game. He's decided he'll be better served by sticking to a newbie corp, maybe in hisec, for now. I've asked him to keep us in mind for the future.

What kind of cat is Molly? And what is actually happening on that TV behind Slinky???

Hello Verrim - Valence here. It was nice to chat with you last night. I hope that lab is feeling better today. As we discussed during our interview, I suggest you take some time to liquidate your assets in Provi and start working on a few skills that will serve you well out here. I strongly recommended Interceptors and Gallente Cruisers, and suggested you pick up Science and Graviton Physics so you can work toward piloting a Sabre. Let me know if you have any questions about all that. In the meantime, my crew might have some questions of their own for you!

Do you sear it in a pan or something before adding wine? (I'm assuming you are not boiling the steak.) Also, I was happy to see your application this morning but could not accept it. Need you to drop your current corp / roles first.

Hello @Atticus Onassis - it was a pleasure to meet you last night. Hopefully I managed to give the illusion of coherence. But regardless, you made a great impression. I accepted your corp app this morning, and have upgraded you access to our site to give you free reign. Please refer to our new recruits orientation, which I will also send you in-game: http://www.sohguild.com/index.php?/topic/17804-new-recruits-orientation/ Please take the time to carefully review and complete all steps over the next few days. With that, welcome aboard! We look forward to flying with you.

Hi Chris - nice to see you here. (This is Valence / Solomon - you're going to learn many different names for me, although hopefully none that you'll need to mutter under your breath.) I'm going to take care of your forum access now, with the expectation that we're going to see your app sometime today. Here is our new recruit orientation, which I'll also send in-game: http://www.sohguild.com/index.php?/topic/17804-new-recruits-orientation/ Please take the time to carefully review all points, and get all services registered after you're in the corp. My random question is - what's one thing that you like to cook or cook especially well?

40 is the new 30 imo. Welcome aboard! (Solomon/Valence here.)

I'm going to play it by ear - but I'll probably be online tonight. If not, certainly tomorrow.

Hello @Atticus Onassis - happy to report that I have finished your API check, and did not find anything that would block your application. Our next step is to hop in Mumble together for a chat. Assuming that we both feel good about that conversation, then it will be pleasure to offer you an invite to the corp. Hope you are spending time with friends and family for the holiday today! I will be on-and-off in EVE today, but on a lot during the long weekend. Afternoons are best, but if our schedules don't seem to mesh, we can set a time that is mutually convenient. Thanks again for the application - look forward to chatting with you.

Hi again @Hotsync - hope you have plans to enjoy the holiday! (edit; Nope! because Canada.. hope you're enjoying your random non-holiday day?) Happy to report that I have completed your background check and did not find anything that troubled me. I'm hoping we can make some time to chat in Mumble and, assuming our conversation goes well, I'm ready to accept your application. Talk to you soon.

How did you guys feel about the film adaptation of I, Robot ?

May I make this your forum title?
