when i was young, dragon ball, and dragon ball z. not because of your fake saiyan who followed Jita around like a dog and lasted 13 episodes, but because of gohan and seeing him grow from a baby to a loving kick rear end super hero.

Alright goons, you win. You've convinced me that Eve has the dumbest players out of any MMO in existence. Think about it. We've never had these type of threads for any other games. No one jumps in and proclaims how gay they are for WoW for example.

Greetings capsuleer,

I am Lt. Colonel Aryndel Vyst of the GoonWaffe Squadron. Pleasure to meet your acquantaince. First off I would like to welcome you back into New Eden o7m8. If you would like to fly with us in our squadron so you can bring your toonie on oppies and mishies with us, maybe even spot a mommy or two then please purchase a premium account here and PM me with a 500 word introduction on why we should accept you into our flight group?

I look forward to flying with you soon.

Sincere regards,

Aryndel Vyst,
Director of Personnel Operations
Authorization Logisitical Command
GoonWaffe
Office: VFK-IV

Thanks for the offer, I only have 41mil SP but I can fly everything Minmatar fully fit blah blah. It�s been a few years since I played so skill wise, I am not up to par and the reason I said I did not want to join right now. Coming from a military and DoD background, and a director at a 4 bil company, I follow direction extremely well and don�t ask questions of my command leader unless I feel something is a bad call and not outside my scope of understanding. I give complete loyalty to whom I work with, fly with and die with. Like I said in the e-mail, I have only thought about goons because of a past colleague, and the mentality goons carry with them. I am looking for a group that mesh well with through interest and personality, sitting around bullshitting, or getting loving serious for war/suicide squads/camps whatever, I want to be around people that can separate the mindset. Talking poo poo is the heart of humanity, so I welcome it and anti-trollable.

PVP: I mostly tackled for gate camps, or bombed in war. At this point though I am completely new to PVP again and figured I would learn from the people that invented PVP so not to start off with any bad habits. I don�t cringe over the idea of losing a 6 bil ship, it�s a loving game. If the CEO, or alliance leader tells me to start training in something else, I will do so and drop all training right now to make sure I meet the needs of the corp and the alliance. I want to make sure I am an asset in every op that we go on to ensure that we win as a team.

Economy: I have put together a plan to start a crowd funding in game kind of like �Lending Club� that would make a lot of money if there is interest in the game for such a service. I will not go into great detail about that right now.
Just to be transparent, I flew with Nuts-and-bolts for a long time and only followed one guy that introduced me into the game, so whatever alliance he went with I went with. That being said I do not think I was in any alliances that would conflict with CFC accept maybe NC, but I have not been a part of that for 2 years now and not sure if CFC has good standings or bad standings with CFC. I have not had any communication with past friends for 2 years now, and I am more than open to giving an API out for a full back ground check.

I am a network architect and run my own personal datacenter so I can host a various amount of services if the Alliance should ever need rack space for a project for free.

These are gold-plated credentials.

Space political saavy? Check.
Willingness to blindly obey? Check.
Self-aware enough to know when you overrule said blind obedience for the greater good? Check.
"Lending Club" bleeding edge economical dynamo? Check.
Absolute disconnect from previous friends and allies that may smudge reputation with hoped-for new friends and allies? Check.
Anti-trollable? Check.
Free rack space and IT expertise? Check.

You're basically in Waffe already, friend, because what is Waffe other than a group of expert Eve players that utilize SA as a safe meeting ground for meta gaming strategy?

I have no problem offering up a SSL/OpenVPN/Ipsec into the Datacenter for anything we would need to do.

x1 juniper SRX 210 (have another coming in to put in a cluster
x1 Juniper ex2200
x1 Palo-Alto firewall
x2 pfsense server for VPN with OpenVPN
x4 Dell 2970 poweredge
x1 dell 1950 poweredge
all servers run ESXI 5
MS 2012 server AD structure
Linux e-mail server fully integrated into MS windows AD with Cal, contact support on iPhone and Outlook
Linux bind server
XMPP server for VOIP communications
Teamspeak server
2 UPS for battery backup.

This is all personally owned, all security, networking and servers are owned and set up by myself.

I have a MPLS over GRE set up to my company for IPv6 space.

I worked as a RnD in DoD after military service coming up with the NextGen internet that consisted of a full MPLS architecture with IPv6. Now i am involed with the next evolution of SDN with OpenFLOW and XMPP using arista switch's and juniper MX routers.
