    I told him what I wanted to get out of the game (PvP), what I was doing so I could be good at PvP, and my plans for the meantime. Then I responded to the rejection mentioning I wasn't a trial user and kind of reiterated what I was saying before.. I figured I was being in depth, but straight and to the point at the time :D

    The number one cause of getting rejected is not mentioning Penny Arcade in your app. Any corp in a 0.0 alliance is a huge beacon to people looking for a free ride on the gravy train, and we get tons of applications from people talking about how they want to use their freighter/dread pilot selflessly for the glory of the corp, yada yada; but in reality they're all corp thieves and chinese farmers using pre-written applications.

    Interesting interview about the new avatars and stations at RPS

    Talking about all the player created content they are going to allow, like bars and restaraunts and that. Set up your own dialogue trees, etc. Sounds pretty badass.

    Well, I'm pretty old as far as age demographic of this board goes, so I guess that makes me the dad?

    I can't come back though, just don't have the time. I had fun while I was around but Eve takes a crazy amount of dedication to become successful in, and I can't devote the time. I certainly appreciate the work guys like Rhonyn put into it though, so kudos to them. I hope you have fun!

    We just reset standings to a shit-ton of people, so we're all off riding bikes and killing anyone who lives within 20 jumps of us :^:

    BoB is contained to a single region that we've decided to squat on until they finally roll over and die. It will happen, and the reset will certainly help the time pass.

    I quit the game the first time I lost a battleship. Of course, this was back in Empire space where it is hard to make money for a battleship. That and they were a bit more expensive way back when.

    So Merch Industrial is an ally of GoonFleet that has access to the Goon wiki? I'm really interested in using the Goon wiki to help me when I'm playing but if I can't get access to it via being a Penny Arcade member, well . . . I've paid for forum accounts before and I don't mind doing it again. The 3-month wait kind of sucks though maybe I can get somebody to sponsor me. I've been on these forums enough and post a lot so . . . I dunno.

    I've paid for all of my computer parts today, I should be done some time last week at the latest with building and such.

    Is MRCHI interested in recruiting more experienced pilots? Ive sort of semi-retired my main char and been tooling around with a idiotically named alt for the last 8 months or so due to my apathy towards my corp. Ive been flying with the same people more or less for the last 2 years, and I have come to the conclusion that due to certain patterns they have gotten into that not much is going to change. Not bad guys, but im just tired of the same old schit.

    Little extra info, main is around 32mil sp, highly skilled in all basic matari ship types as well as capable of flying the Claymore command ship, quite a bit of basic industrial ability due to my wandering attention. Cut my pvp-eyeteeth in the Huzzah-Short bus squad war in providence and remained with Huzzah until its dissoloution. Sience then ive tooled around with a corp that was formed of what was left of the fighting core of Huzzah(ie those who stuck around to fight when things got heavy, instead of pussying out when it got harder than trashing fleets of FIX ships). But I really feel like id dig a change. I had had the idea of training him towards a Nafalgar, but considering the semi-nomadic nature of my current corp I couldent be assed to handle the logistics.
