Congrats to @Oshri Paliako on promotion to Senior Member!

Hello @Sharo Hakaari, and thanks for posting your intro here.

Oshri was delicately pointing out that our corp is comprised almost entirely of adults with jobs / families / etc., and so much of our decision-making and planning is based on that expectation.  We don't have a firm age requirement, and I've had plenty of gaming experience with young men who are mature and old men who are not.   So we won't hold your age against you, but it's definitely something we want to talk about and make sure everybody understands.  May I ask what year of high school you are in?

Have you played any other MMO's besides EVE in the past?

Another thing we should talk about is that life in null-sec is definitely different from the rest of the game.  In fact, it is different from just about any other mmorpg in existence.  That's why we like it so much, but it means you will have a lot of new things to learn.  Also, the environment will be more structured.  Are these things you feel comfortable with?

Last question - how long have you had the iguana, and what's his/her name?  (Is it easy to tell the difference between a male and female iguana?)

Hello @Tarin Audeles - Valence B. here.

I totally would have mentioned that I knew the corp's XO outside of game if I were you.  But I appreciate your modesty!

We would be very happy to have another logistics pilot join us.  And since you can fly interceptors already, that should make it easy for you to get out here and join just about any fleet.  Did you make any decisions about whether to try to liquidate your existing ships or not?

What are one or two key aspects or experiences that you're hoping to find with us in null-sec?

Lastly, I have observed that the EVE chapter is slowly shifting from primarily-cat to primarily-dog people.  We may need to conduct a survey soon!  What kind of dogs have you got?

Hi @Practical - thanks for your continued patience.  I'm not sure if you had a chance to connect with Tbert last night, but we discussed your app and decided we would like to accept you!  However, we would like to get the API for the third account first - I believe you said it is currently alpha status?  (Let me know if I misunderstood.)

Other than that, we can accept Intimus' application any time.  Also let me know if you would like to change your forum name to match either of your two characters (not required but could be helpful).

Looking forward to flying with you!

@Practical I've gone through your API's and have a few questions.  Let me know when would be a good time to hop in Mumble and chat.

Thank you!

It's not our fault you didn't die gloriously to that Cerb!

Hey.. the reason I didn't take my bio when everyone else did is because I was busy almost-dying in order to catch three procurers for you guys!

Belatedly posting to say that I really enjoyed your intro post.  I can tell you will fit right in with this group (that's a mixed blessing FYI).

I still need to do your API check.  Will you be around this weekend to chat further?

Hey there!  Valence B here.  I got your mail and will respond to your post properly in the a.m.   But just a quick note before I crash..

When I put your API's into our jackknife, they look like account API's from what I can tell.  However, those access masks don't look right.

If you have the time, would you mind creating new API's using this link?

https://community.eveonline.com/support/api-key/CreatePredefined?accessMask=4294967295

Please check the "No Expiry" option as well.  It would probably be easiest for me if you just send me a PM on this site, but I can check in-game mail from work tomorrow as well.  Thanks very much - look forward to getting to know you soon.

Congratulations to @Iron Guerilla - I *think* I mentioned this in game, but never actually promoted you.  So now I am doing so!

Welcome to the corp!

We do use armor doctrines in addition to shield.  One thing I always tell folks who are new to null is that you will wind up training everything (literally) over time.  In your case, t2 rlml and heavies will at least open up all the shield doctrines to you.  We also have low SP options for every fleet - usually ewar frigates.  Lastly, logistics and tackle are paths that involve a few ships welcome in any fleet.

@Dmitri Blok thanks for sending the API over.  It looks like the character is pretty "new" as you mentioned.  When I reviewed your skills, I saw that you will need to do some focused training in order to be able to fly any of our doctrine ships.  It looks like some additional missile and misc. skills will enable you to fly caracals and cerbs, which is good.  That would probably be the initial focus.  What sorts of ships do you ordinarily fly?

Other than that, I'd like to set up a voice interview with either myself or Tbert at some point this week. 

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.

Devil, are you putzing around in Deklein in a Malediction? Toon's name is Ghastis...

That is indeed the man himself.

Now if we can only get our benevolent dictator to rais emy access so I can at least get on the chat here...sheesh.

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.

Nevertheless, even though blue standings makes it possible to move my stuff safely, I'd still like to join you.  I know for a fact that my last corp isn't as cohesive as it was, and I don't mind starting at the bottom and getting to know everyone, I'm not a "role monger" by any means.  I have everything I need, and then some.  I just want to fly with a good group, maybe learn some new pvp tricks.

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

Sorry for not being around for the last couple of days, work has been rather hectic.  I think I get the next 4 days off though, so I will be back in Eve tomorrow.  If a nice big doe deer were a water balloon, my work van was the pin that popped it last night, nothing left but a nice leather sack of deer soup.  One of my clients was rather upset, so I started joking around and got her laughing her head off, probably too much, she had a stroke today and had to be air-lifted to Spokane.  I hope she's alright, and that it wasn't caused by excessive laughter.  It's an example of how my week has been.  At least you've had time to go through my API's, hopefully?

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?
