Application - Xiaodown (CLOSED)

APPLICATION FORM

1. How long have you been playing eve?

Since 2006, although with breaks.


2. What is your current corp/alliance and why are you leaving them?

Dystopia - (re)joined because we were supposed to do the Alliance tourney again, but the slots were too expensive, so we didn't. Leaving because want to get back into actively playing - everyone in Dystopia is inactive.


3. Please list all your characters and the main things in which each specializes. Include links to your skill sheets for main and pvp alts.

Xiaodown - main. ~80m sp. Sub-cap. Caldari / Minnie / Amarr, HAC/HIC/recon/BS/CS.
http://eveboard.com/pilot/Xiaodown
Moxyll - capital alt. ~75m sp. Gallente / Amarr HAC/BS. Gallente Caps (owns Moros/Thanatos).
http://eveboard.com/pilot/Moxyll
Xaesta - non-combat alt. ~50m sp. Freighter V / jump freighter (owns rhea) / rorqual/orca; can build outposts/titans.
http://eveboard.com/pilot/Xaesta


4. How do you feel about typing pen15 in local chat?

It's like penis, but with a twist of subtlety. The "Gentlemen's penis", if you will. Seriously, though, anything for lulz.


5. How did you hear about us?

Muppet Factory's been around forever; Order's been on the titan list forever. I used to fly with Triumvirate back in the day, and when Muppet Factory joined up wtih D00M, I was like "yeah, that makes sense".



6. What type of ships can you fly? Please make sure to include capitals.

Oh, more or less specified above. I prefer cruiser sized stuff, hacs and recons for roaming.


7. In which country do you currently live, and what languages can you speak?

US, and English (mostly).


8. What do you like to do in EVE Online?

Roaming gangs. Nothing would tickle my pen15 more than being able to log in and roam.


9. How old are you (real life, not Eve character)?

30 (ugh, just recently)


10. Do you have a working microphone?

Yep.


11. On average, how many hours per week do you think you play?

Right now, I don't really, just spin ships.

No, that's a lie, you can't spin ships anymore ::captain's quarters::
So, since you can't spin ships, I've got an itch to actually undock.


12. Have you ever held a leadership position in another corp? If so, please explain.

No.


13. Do you have any FC experience? If so, please describe the types of gangs you normally FC.

No; not really. If any, it was a long time ago, and very small gangs.


14. Give us a link to the killboard you currently use. If you don't use one, point us to a public one that might have some stats on you.

eve-kill.net seems to have purged their stuff, so here's battle clinic (but they're missing some stuff):

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Moxyll
(like I said, I haven't been active in a while)


15. Are you ready to commit acts of piracy, war and sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of innocent carebears?

Absolutely.


16. What days/times are you most likely available for an interview on TS3?

USTZ evenings (like, after ~8-9 Eastern) or weekends.


17. Provide examples of a Sniper Hac fit, Armor Hac fit, Nano Hac fit, and Hictor fit please.

without a 5% PG implant, you can't run the neut; drop a gyro for a PDU would give you enough and a few more shield hp... or just use it offline for heat. Sub Overdrive for nano on alternate tuesdays and when drinking.

There it is; ask me anything.

The more I look at it, the less I like that zealot fit. If there's a fleet doctrine, I'd follow that fit, rather than try to come up with one.

But I wrote it, so I'm not going back to edit it.

Not many kills for 80mil sp

order wrote:Not many kills for 80mil sp

Fair point; I tend to take breaks where I still train skills but am not active. Seriously, though, I don't think Battleclinic has all of them. Eve-kill.net used to but beansman and karbowiak must have dumped all the old kills.

At any rate, I'm looking for more.

agree battleclinic is fucked, talk to Rozz will for interview

Snipe fit is not snipe fit at all thats an attempt at an Ahac.

Also cant help notice you were in test alliance up until Feb this year.

Yep; that zealot fit is not good. Here's a 2nd attempt; guess I just really only love minmatar:

---
Utility highs = anti-frig missiles / tractor beam / shield transfer / energy transfer for your zealot gang mates / whatever.
83+28 optimal/falloff. Hopefully enough resists to keep you alive for the scimitars to get to you. Meh.

And as for being in Test, yeah, I was. For like an extremely brief period from when they decided to expand into fountain until they took the first station in fountain. Shows how much I've been following politics lately; I didn't know you guys were actively fighting Test until I was poking around your killboard last night.

Here's the low down on Test. 1.) It's fun for a while. 2.) No one gives a fuck. 3.) It's much better organized than it looks from the outside (all these api services and shit). 4.) after a while, it got old anyway because of point number 2 - constant shit fits, and no small roaming gangs, all gigantic blob warfare. I mean, sometimes you have to do that, but when there's downtime, you need to roam. And sometimes, people take the game too seriously and it's good to laugh it off and just say "fuck it", but .... jesus christ, not all the fucking time, sometimes you need to not be the weak link for the rest of your gang/alliance/whatever.

Also, the corp I joined in Test was supposedly one of the "elite pvp" corps. I swear to christ, the average skill points was maybe 15m, and people really didn't have a basic understanding of the game mechanics. I'd be in a gang and undock from station, and like 3 people would go "woah where the fuck did this damage come from" cause of my gang skills. Then they decided to go live in Delve, except they didn't have enough competent PVPers, decent FC's, and anyone who knew how to do the logistics of a big corp move to get it off the ground. After waiting for something to happen with that for no shit a month, I went back to dystopia cause it was getting close to tournament time.

I was really looking forward to the alliance tournament, and then as per usual, CCP touched it, so it became bad; also, we should have had a guaranteed slot, and we didn't. So, that really is the main reason why I haven't done anything but change skills for a while now. I was pretty dissapointed (last time i flew in the tournament (youtube watch?v=DHDkovSIURo) it was a fucking blast and I was looking forward to it).

For numerous reasons such as not meeting minimum requirements your application has been rejected, best of luck finding a suitable corp / alliance.

Cool, no problem.
