We are slowly building it and you will train with Imperfects and squad with us when we have open spots. The best players get imperfect try outs. Also everyone hates the top dog in any fps game so expect it.
Is this for real? An actual farm corp for the imperfects? Their hubris is astonishing. It's even sadder to see other players so readily dispense with their own self-respect and denigrate themselves as sycophants and groupies for a, granted, skilled but far from intimidating or "godly" corp. |

We are who we are but in the end its just a game and suppose to be fun. We like to be the bad guys of dust but inside the corp we are pretty much the same as any other corp. Don't get caught up in our branding and marketing plan. We are a business and and isk is our religion. PS. We love our IMPSwarm members and treat them as IMPs, which they are.
Yeah, I don't really hate the Imperfects, it's just that many of the egos (whether a marketing ploy or genuine delusion) are gargantuan and tiresome. I am shocked, however, that a contingent of gamers are so hungry for praise and recognition from good players that they willfully humiliate themselves as a means of ingratiation. |

I had written an extensive post, but when I submitted it it bugged and reverted the text to a prior draft, so a much more succinct answer:
I know not everyone, or even necessarily the majority, of IMPs members are megalomaniacs. With that said, you can't say that starting a junior corp doesn't feed the senior corps' egos. The humiliation stems from some players feeling a need for validation from what boils down to just another member of the community. They clamber to impress the gatekeeper who's post exists solely because of an idolization based on some empty hierarchy. The name IMPSwarm even implicitly suggests a zerg nature, that a "chosen few" can rise above to attain true legendary status. The sycophants gobble it up.
The rest was tangential and rambling so perhaps it's all well that it got cut.

Also you can skip the neckbeard hispter college boy speak as there aren't any nerdy interweb chicks that want to hang out and LARP with you here.
Nah brah, I've never had a nerdy LARP chick and don't plan to as I doubt they compare to the surfer chicks we've got. I'll leave the weeabos/vampires/gamer gurlz to you. Also, next time I promise to write a "See Spot Run" type translation just for you big guy. I'll even write it in bold so you can print it out and color it in. |

I believe you when you say YOU don't look down on them. I have it on good authority that you're an alright guy. I doubt that a feeling devoid of superiority is shared by EVERY one of your clan members. |
