I am constantly amazed by the number of "elite" players that keep comparing PRO to a helmet-wearing, short bus riding, child who can't seem to shoot straight and yet you seem unable to contain your obsessive / compulsive urges to assert your superiority.

I haven't seen this form of behavior since grade school.

Wait, are you even an adult?
Or did your mother just not love you enough as a child?
Are you perhaps attempting to compensate for other "shortcomings" in your lives?

If they really are so bad, shouldn't they be beneath your notice?

I highly doubt that PRO will shed any tears, regardless of the damage you manage to inflict, but you are welcome to try.

Wait test and II have shared history.

Shaking in my boots all you evetards have no chance.. FPS knuckle draggers FTW.. quit fappin to your spreadsheets and learn to aim

BOOM HEADSHOT

I'd like to know what TEST see's in them personally. I thought we was BFF's. :(

I really don't care, PRO are big boys and can take care of themselves. I just can't believe the number of schoolground bullies around here.

Thank you for the confirmation, your juvenile banter will be ignored from now on. I believe there must be a playground somewhere nearby where you can take candy from little kids, I won't delay you any further.

You realise that your corp is around because of the school ground bullies in EVE right?.. You may want to look up how TEST came about because it was because of us. Having said that i'm not here to swing my e-peen.

Just curious why you seem to put so much faith in PRO.

You misconstrue me, I don't have any particular faith in PRO, this post has no real meaning for me. I really just wanted to poke the troll.

RAWR!!!! Troll not happy.... drags knuckles along the floor before raising them to strike down with clenched fist on maggot

I have faith that PRO will throw hundreds upon hundreds of people at districts, providing us with a nice buffer of income from constant warfare.

Yea how the whole world is going to destroy PRO out of planetary conquest. It may take time but as long as FPS skill is a component of the puzzle PRO is DOA.


Because no matter how much ppl hate us; they dislike CBJ's mail spam more and like he said join him or face war. I think i speak for many that gladly say WAR.

Yeah he sent me that ******* recruitment spam too, the cheek of it. The Goon corp CEO... oh i'm just going to drop everything and join PRO.

I am that very diamond thanks.

Ha, good luck. We've got more money and power now than ever before and BoB couldn't deal with us then let alone now. We own bob's house thanks.


Comparing me to Hamil's a bit harsh though, i've already done more for this community than he has. Don't worry, you'll know about us when the money truck arrives.

lets be real PRO is gonna provide us with alot of content just due to their size
CBJ recruitment spam "join us or prepare for war" is hilarious
and a corp like PRO will be hard to get rid of due to their size they can easily bounce back so i can see them gettin farmed alot, regain some districts by attrition......get farmed by every corp that got pissed off by CBJ constant spammin :P

So they will be like the cockroaches of DUST? sounds about right.

Bump. :)

I fear IMP's unhealthy fixation towards us is providing the audience a reason to think there is a hidden affiliation. :)

It's okay we know you have a little romance going, we don't mind as long it stays out of sight

you scare me

Honestly this is all under the assumption that PRO will even be involved in Planetary Conquest. Sure it's a great way to make money but that's about it. It has no affect on SOV, and it doesn't take place in NULL Sec.

The biggest advantage for PRO I think, would be in PvE. Namely Drone Infestations. With the sheer number of PRO members, they'd be able to maintain a competitive edge ISK wise while avoiding Competitive game play which would also reduce the risk of them losing money to other Corporations. As it is now, they're only "forced" to fight in Planetary Conquest and Faction Warfare.

PRO currently has a bad reputation for two reasons.

A.) The general lack of skill that most of their members seem to exhibit. Which is due to the fact that most of PRO's member base is comprised of EXTREMELY new recruits. That isn't to say that they're filled with Bad players, there are quite a few decent PRO players, they're just hidden by the massive amounts of terrible ones. PRO used to be a pretty tough contender, if i recall correctly, during the Closed Beta. You know... those dark ages everyone seems to have forgotten about and learned nothing from?

B.) The Spamming. Using Local Chat to recruit and spamming mails to everything in local has caused a lot of hate to come PRO's way. Honestly I'm not sure why though. It's not like you can't get rid of the mail, or block the guy sending it. And hardly anyone talks in Local anyway. Gotta admit though that period where that guy with the long speech would spam it every 5 min. was annoying but that seems to have stopped.

My point is that none of those matter unless they're competitive. They don't lose anything by being hated. So why bother hating them? That is all...

Keep the faith.

So we will relagate them to carebear status? Works for me, kinda make me wonder what CBJ thinks of that better to be a god among cuddly bears than dinner for the wolves.

Either you're stupid, or you're trolling.
Both of which I would say earn you the fail sticker on your dropsuit.
What he was probably saying is that the newbies will do PvE drone infestations while the good players go on corp matches and show you how its done.

I support Cat Merc and I am by no means his alt.

Oh you're so silly alter ego, go back to your cave.

Thank you sir. I had almost completely given up on the community. I don't usually respond to these threads, but your comment has illicited a response.

We are bad in pvp right now, we are terrible. It is embarassing, but we aren't in it to win for now. We are concentrating on getting our newbros trained and familiarized and I can't begin to explain how difficult it is with the numbers we have and more joining everyday. It is incredibly frustrating to organize and mobilize on this scale, but we are getting there. I don't gauge our strength on how we operate now, because many of us are just now starting. I gauge our strength on what we can be. Now we are 2200 scrubs in STD gear, soon we will be pros with the gun game we have been lacking and we will be in PRO gear.

This is not a threat, I wish you all the best of luck in planetary conquest. You will not be facing the PXRXO you are familiar with in ambush and corp battles. You will be facing us at our best, I promise not to disappoint you in battle.

Severance Pay out.

In all seriousness (since you actually responded this way instead of toting the company line), do you plan on actually weeding out those that cant cut it or still run with what you have? There is a difference between potential and just plain bad.

You are also going to have a tough hill to climb in gaining any type of respect given the negative reputation of your leader from MAG days.

I am not familiar with his reputation in MAG. To be honest, it doesn't matter to me. The way he conducts himself in chat and commands respect is well noted in my opinion. The man speaks with great passion and drive, this is something I respect greatly. I don't know the person everyone keeps talking about, because the contra you detest and tne contra I play with are 2 different men.

When he hired me, I asked him to present an example of the corp's ability to organize. He sent me the standard hiring packet. He and the hiring packet were both direct and succinct. My decision to join was a nobrainer and I stand by it.

Not by any means trying to undermind anyone else, I am sure Imp, IE, RND, and Unreal etc.. All have fine capable men as ceos, but Contra seems to be on the ball and I haven't seen/heard anything that would convince me otherwise.

Severance Pay out.

Im here because of......*crickets chirp*

God damnit, moon cricket bob out.

Ooooh!
Crickets!
Yum!

Cat Merc, out.

I aint fraid of no kitter kats.

Have you heard of taxes? Everybody counts. Everybody has a purpose. Some of the people who are "just plain bad" who wear the name while blasting drones in PvE still contribute to the corp.

What I've yet to see mentioned (that's absolutely essential to this argument), is just how many planets and districts are going to be involved in Planetery Conquest. If there are only a handful of planets, then yes I'd agree that quality will probably be more important than quantity; however, from what I understand EVE's scope is absolutely massive so I expect there to be tons of districts and planets involved. Any corp that wants to hold a considerable amount of territory will need a lot of manpower behind it. While a good 50 player corp could probably hold a single district effectively, anything more than that I would imagine to be really difficult. Hell, a small 5 district planet (the smallest planet size) alone would probably require about 300 dedicated players to hold (in case of multiple attacks). Even with a good 300 players, I'd say holding one of the largest planets (which I believe can have upwards of 16 districts?) would be a significant challenge, and may in fact be impossible.

To summarize, I'd say any corp that wants to build an empire would need lots and lots of members. So I don't find PRO's approach to be all that crazy.

Anyway, everyone's saying they received threats from CBJ's recuritment messages? I honestly don't remember any threats at all, and I joined like 2 weeks ago :s I joined because I wanted to join an active corp, and I've stayed cause I like being able to join a friendly 4 player squad any time I decide to log on and play. Honestly if I felt there was a threat in the message I probably would not have joined at all.

There was definitely a threat but thats beside the point.

The initial launch will have 250 districts available for control though this will probably increase as the game ramps up. If the top 30 corps claim about 80% of the districts, that would put it at about 6-7 districts per corp.
