Finding players that are good enough to take on bada** corps is hard to do, considering they can just join said corp instead of trying to see a vision down the road.
You had a history in this game, and have made connections, so you were able to pick up good players because of it.

I don't know anyone in your corp that is an "unknown" prior to joining. Even your 'lesser' players I knew of. Perhaps, because I play really close attention to things like that in this game.

Here's an honest question. Because I applied to FA back in the day, you rejected my app (no, not upset about it in the slightest, especially since it was like 3 months ago)
Was my app rejected because of my stats? Was it rejected because I didn't have a referral, or some people told you I wasn't good enough? Was it rejected because I was 'unknown' to you?

I know when I look at apps, the first thing I do is ask other directors "who is this player"? Because reputation matters to me. Since I remember lots of names in this game and can categorize them as good or bad, I base a lot of recruiting decisions on it.
Names trigger in my brain, and if a name doesn't trigger, then I equate that they must not be that good.

A corp like Quebec United seems to be on the rise, and maybe we'll see them in MH someday, but I don't know a single one of those guys. I can't name one person from that corp so I would never give them a chance probably. Perhaps I rejected some of them in the past, what a terrible mistake that looks like I did.

Reputation is the best way to build a corp, because people don't like taking chances. This leaves small corps that have potential at a glass ceiling, because A-Team clutch crushers don't want to join a "maybe' corp, they want to be in a 'happening' corp.

I did have a history with some players.

But if you think much of my a-team had a ******* clue who i was you're out of your mind. Lol

Frost Kitty had no ******* clue who i was, neither did jenova, neither did ttw3, neither did xdreams, neither did remnancy, or Chances Ghost, or D4GG3R, or dwater, FabryX10, or mark bass, or MarasdF Loron, or psycho tanker, or wolfica, or a bunch of other of our players.

You got rejected because you talk so much more than your gungame can back up. Straight

It's true that some people like joining **** while at the top. But people also like building ****...I only went to TP because I WAS taking a chance...I had no ******* clue who TP was...they weren't some amazing corp that **** on everyone...they'd won a small corp tourney that had 6 teams..and lost to my previous corp PFBHz...but I chose to go there and convinced my homies Spinner and ZDub and we helped build it up into what it became.

I understand every alliance has a Strong Arm corp in it, and it seems they do most of the fighting on behalf of their brethren. All alliances are built around one super corp it seems. This has created a narrow field for MH. You have the corps.alliances that are so good at what they do it just down inexplicably ridiculous. You have the corps that are good in their own right, but when compared to the big 3, it seems they just suck. This creates mercs jumping to one of the Big 3. So, how is a new corp supposed to form from scratch and reach the endgame? How do decent players every get a chance to get into the Big 3 if the bar is escalating; when if they were given a chance in one of the super corps/alliances, they would no doubt improve just be association. If a corp starts from the ground up, like many on PFC right now have, they still will never bust into MH because anoyone they put pressure on will just call upon one of the Big 3 to rid them. This may get me into hot water, but its the best example I can think of. When I was in 0.H, we attacked a DDB district. 2 matches, we took all but 90 clones from them. They had like almost 500 to begin with. They were just getting manhandled. Now, DDB is not a bad corp, but against what 0.H was employing things just didn't line up for them. 0.H had the better teams going into those matches. So, when it came time for the flip... guess who shows up and puts a stop to 0.H in a hurry.... The official alt of 8213: All other alts are unofficially unofficial Do you pub, brah?

See, here's the thing. DDB isn't bad. Just like STB, Capital LLC, Molan, etc aren't bad either. But when you put them up against who are in a group of 2-3 corps, of course they aren't going to fair well. Its boiled down to NF, AE & FA fighting each other, even for others' districts. Plus, there's corps that aren't even in PC that are PC capable to, so long as the other team doesn't just pull in a ringer crew. Its just comes down to 3 corps, who can buy them, and which of those 2 out of 3 can best one another on that given day. Last time i played NF, I went toe-to-toe with them, especially difficult when it pretty much was 16 v 1 because the corp I was ringing for didn't belong playing the game; let alone PC. But they obviously should have bought FA or AE to try for them. But lets say it was a smaller corp, like Pradox. Pradox's A-team is good... not NF A-team good(NF is nothing but -team -_-) but they are good. They can fight anyone and have a fair shot, until some one decides to b*tch out and have one of the big 3 fight their battles for them, thus forcing Pradox to hire a big 3 too... How many times have FA and AE faced one another on behalf of others' districts?? The official alt of 8213: All other alts are unofficially unofficial Do you pub, brah?

I don't agree with this statment. I fought Pradox many, many times and very rarely did they not field atleast 6 AE ringers. Didn't matter if they attacked us or we attacked them, they almost always brought in ringers. Quite a few of those battles only had 2-3 Pradox with the rest being AE ringers. Go look and see how many people are in Pradox One... its like 30, of course they are going to use ringers The official alt of 8213: All other alts are unofficially unofficial Do you pub, brah?
