We've managed in Eve so far, and thanks for your support. I'm sorry that your Corp is ineligible.

I truly do not understand the point of this thread. Are you trying to galvanize the community against AFK farming or look for other corporations to defend you? If you want to take a stand against AFK'ing, do it. I whole-heartily agree with you. But "black listing" corps makes you seem arrogant. What looks like AFK farming to you could be a pressing family emergency for me. I could have spilled some soup on the floor or dropped my computer and scurried to a safe spot to deal with it. You'd never know the difference. You'd just black list my entire corp because a single individual didn't meet your standards. All of that seems like more trouble than its worth. Just advocate for AFK reform.

If you're looking for other corps to fight your battles for you, that's a different story. If I were you, I'd focus much more on "who can get the job done" and much less on "who did I catch farming". Hiring some C corp instead of the Inperfects (Or Bunnies - shameless self promotion) just isn't smart. You'll lose out on a lot of money that way, but to each his (or her) own.

i dont think we'd care much; plus it makes it that more satisfying when we & PFBHz can roll over your hired mercs

though i can't speak in any official capacity for Zion TCD, LRA, or any member corps.

i might suggest that you consider joining an alliance that would suit your defence needs. there are a number of good dust alliances that have popped up that might serve your purpose while allowing you to keep you corp identity.

Current whitelist candidates:

The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar

Based on how I read it, the purpose of the thread is to request the support of other corporations. The Corporation's decision to take a stand against AFKers is included because they're saying they want to avoid providing support to such players even in an indirect manner such as a merc contract. That isn't a separate goal, it's a core value of the Corp that's required as part of the recruitment request.

Many Corporations with sovereignty in EVE function much like nations in the real world. I expect similar to happen in DUST when PC really kicks in. If your small communist city-state needs an ally, you're not going to say, "Hey, Mr. USA! Can we borrow your army for a while?" because that's not going to work out very well. When the government and a hired mercenary army are at odds, the government isn't going to stay in power for long.

Also, a group of smaller Corporations could potentially band together to hold a planet with mutual mercenary agreements, each supporting the others against larger neighbours. You wouldn't have the reinforcement capabilities of a merged larger Corp, but each group would retain their independence and for some people, that's important.

EDIT: I can't speak for my current Corp, but I will say that I'm personally not in favour of AFK farming. I don't do it, and I don't intend to do it.

VENGEANCE FOR HIRE is always willing to take contracts.

Please contact TheBLAZZED or one of our directors to discuss details. Be sure to mention that I referred you as I will get a commission :)

...prides themselves in players freedom...

STB is full ay against afk farmin.

Though I have not had the chance to discuss the matter with each member of the 5o1st as of yet, those who are aware of it do not condone AFK farmers. We may not be participating in taking merc contracts, but this thread is as good as any to publicly declare it and thus leave that option open in the process.

^ What I thought COWARD

Thanks for giving me so much time to return to the thread and reply. Great work with the public relations you got going on there. First of all, I don't see any remarks regarding your corp. Second, thanks for singling my corp out, I feel special. Third, [now that I've actually seen it] I don't see how your question being unanswered in the whopping 30 minutes was in fact a challenge to mine. *SIGH, this could be a long list.... are you really in charge of public relations? Anyway, while you're off AFKing I'll be in skirmish practicing. Let me know ff you have any other questions.

Usually I do not respond to cowards. However, in this case I will make an exception.

Firstly, I do not AKF. The mere fact that you even suggest it is absolutely insulting.

Secondly, how dare you question my position in the Imperfects. You really have no understanding of Public Relations, when you insult the voice of the Imperfects.

Lastly, you did not specifically insult my Corp. However, you insulted our beliefs. The Imperfects believe in Merc freedom, and your corp choosing to subjugate a certain play style is unacceptable.

I demand the following,

A personal public apology to me and the Imperfects

@ Rosen Association: this is a complete and utter outrage

As the Leaders of The Free Mercenary World, the IMPERFECTS prides themselves in players freedom and individuality. This includes all types of play styles including AFKing. To subjugate certain player group on their play style will not stand. I ask that the next time you speak. You take the utmost caution.

I apologize to both you personally and the Imperfects as a whole. Had I known you were in need of adult supervision I would have volunteered to help you assign public relations officers based on their aptitude in logic, reasoning and maturity. This way you would have avoided the embarrassment of both yourself and your group. To be fair to myself I had no way of knowing you were in such desperate need.

That said, if you insist on singling out one of the youngest and smallest groups going in order to boost your faltering ego due to recent bad publicity in threads such as these, by all means, I suggest you try harder, HARDER, harder I say good fellow, harder.
