@Ruby You should squad up with us, sometime.

Oh and I almost forgot, you better have some EVE connections if you are actually serious about a corp in this game.

How to get a corp off the ground.

1. Just join an existing corp.
2. Get to know and become friends with a dozen active players in said corp.
3. Convince those same players that leadership sucks and you guys could do a better job.
4. Leave that corp and steal said players, bringing them into YOUR newly formed corp.




You may think I'm kidding, but there are a number of existing corps out there that have done this.

This is also an easy way to become hated and seen as honorless traitors.

Just a history lesson, if I can recall it correctly, for those of you who weren't around back in the day. Forgive me if I mess any of this up, I wasn't really paying attention when it all happened and caught a lot of it secondhand:


IN THE BEGINNING, the Imperfects were actually a splinter group of top players who left Betamax (Betamax used to be pretty much uncontested when it came to skilled players, with perhaps one or two exceptions) and started their own corp. Around the time of the period in DUST known as "THE TOURNAMENT", Imperfects had a huge merger with a small but talented corp known as Global Conflict. After the tournament, they of course had become so full of themselves that the majority of them devolved into giant quivering e-peens who felt they had the privilege of dictating how DUST should work, and started spamming the forums with how wrong everyone else was and how right they were on any game feature they didn't like. Now Imps are still trying to recover from that over-inflated e-peen fiasco, and some are still so full of themselves that their ego hasn't shrunk a bit since then.

After "THE TOURNAMENT", they then proceeded to start usurping talent from other corporations by lauding that they only let in elite players. This of course drew in a lot of players, because hey, if you were a good player, who would YOU rather play with? A bunch of blueberries half of whom suck? Or a group of good players who properly support each other on and off the battlefield? So a large chunk of the in game talent gravitated over to the Imp's, thus giving them a hand up in most situations

And most of you know the rest of the story from here. I'll leave the rest for another day.

Hello kids Im mister Zitro and Im going to write a book on how I got to be a complete tool.

You see early on in the closed beta we had spawn points that were literally a 10 foot area.I would sit up in the mountains or on top of buildings shooting my Large missle turret at the spawns in my Sigarus which at the time had over 8k shp.Thats why I always talk about my 100 kill game like it was a massive achievement.I then put all my Sp into Proto suits and stacked damage mods.Later after I got owned by a scout repeatedly in a ambush game that was called Communication at the time by a full auto mod controller Codewish tac Douvolle. I decided I would do the same thing and act like it was my idea.I then complained repeatedly in the forums about the iron sights and muzzle rise.I told CCP that there game was dumb and called everyone scrubs.
When I joined beta max I stole all there good specialized players.To win the tournament.After we got the officer dropsuits 4 high and 4 low it was simply a matter of stacking damage mods.I used simple parlor tricks exploited the imbalance of the BETA and now my newest recent endevor is to complain about armor tanks and QQ like a baby because I was so stupid that I thought they might be good.I was going to pown open beta noobs before they figure out that 4 Av nades would kill me and my tank and that Miltia forges were now on the market>you see because I am the smartest guy in the game.Iwould do that until I got enough sp to go Proto and do the cycle all over again.I also never run solo because I would get my ass kicked so I always have to squad with either Regnum or Proto man and How as back up.Point is I never run solo.


Thats the first chapter
