ARK IS IN NN? I have been gone far too long! Damn my 2000 year absence! I feel old! Where is my walker!? Imma go beat some yungins!

You'd better start beating something; each week another newbro passes your killcount.

PS: That's an inactive Alt of Arkena's.

I know what you're saying, been in STB for four years now, the big difference between us and other corps of the time was the the 'anyone can apply, as long as you're willing to learn' mentality. This opened the corp to many new players, and I know for a fact that many great vets, here and gone, were made into fps ass whoppers not because they always were but because we taught them how to be. STB is a family that I'm proud to be apart of, we've been through much together.

We raised money for a young, now old, STB's college fund.

We got guys who was struggling with money back on their feet.

We supported our CEO when his newborn was sick.

And If it wasn't for STB I would have died, twice.

That's why when I see guys being pushed away just because they're not FPS gods it makes me cringe, alot of these guys just need training, training that older players refuse to give in favour of stomping their faces in.

Just my two isklets.

Two mechanics, designed to prevent farming, but intended to reward defenders for winning raids, and secure no-shows.

1.) Add a flat ISK bonus to any clone killed in a dropsuit. That ISK bonus is equal to the CLONE VALUE. This ensures that the only time you get ISK from clones is from killing them in the fight. Any excess clones from the raid do not count towards this reward.

2.) Attacker has to front "X" ISK to attack. ISK is refunded so long as total clone deaths on one side >= 100. If not, the ISK gets split into 16 and given to defenders. This is to ensure that people who no show can't do so for free.

In short: Defenders get payouts for clone destroyed, even if the opponent runs crap gear. Please note, this applies to the RAIDERS as well. More ISK for everyone involved = Happy defenders and raiders.

No shows now pay the defender for their time and vigilance. The 100 clone cap is twofold effective. Raiders now have a clone limit to reach. If they don't burn through 100 clones (Which is really freaking easy to do with 16 people), they lose the ISK they fronted. So long as they burn through 100 clones, the attack is still free. Win-Win again for both sides.

If the attackers no show, they lose that ISK, and the defenders get it. The 100 clone limit is to make it difficult to farm ISK. You would have to send ~6 people suiciding non-stop in the match to try and farm the ISK from it without losing the ISK yourself. Truth be told, farming might still be possible like this, so a more elegant solution might be necessary. However, if someone were to farm it, they would literally need lots of alts doing nothing but dying over and over in free suits. The effort would be real.

Honestly I dislike these two ideas. Free PC battles by CP for corps that don't have districts is a good thing. Sure there is an issue with no shows, but giving more ISK to defenders with districts is unnecessary. Many new corps would never kill 100 clones versus a good corp.

The new split what you kill is a much better reward mechanic for PC's and prevents abuse.

No showing also seems like a valid grief method :)

As it is, you do get paid DK for noshows... and maybe one day it'll be worth something.

No showing also seems like a valid grief method :)

No method is a valid grief method. Griefing can see itself out. We took away needle abuse and awoxing for a reason. Validated greifing is just ASKING for trouble.

Basic ways to screw with a grocery store employee.

When checking out mention to the cashier that there was a elderly gentleman in one of the coolers. (Like behind the milk or the ice cream, if they have the walk in coolers behind them) say he was asking how to get out.

Get random groceries that will make the cashier wonder what u are up to
Ie: bannanas, Vaseline, rubber gloves
Pantyhose, ducttape, thumb tacs
Ect.
You can also get a combination of stuff and ask an employee where the last items are
Act slightly embarrassed

Scout out thepictures where they have like the employee of the month or just some kinda info on who works there.
Find a name
Find a seperate employee ask if they know (name u found earlier) can you do me a favor I'm in a hurry I just wanted to let her or him know (let slip something embarrassing about person)

One of the first things I'm doing if I ever wind up in Yankeeland is go into somewhere that sells guns, look at a few, pretend to be really interested and when someone asks "Can I help you?" I'll reply "Yeah, do you sell any anti depressants?"

I assume Walmart sells guns.

FA is well, FA. Most of us are crazy, like winning and competing, and find far too much humor in trolling each other than we should. FA was formed with the idea of being a top tier competitive corp and that's the bar for entry. If we deny your app based on K/D, its because you won't be able to PC with us

Walmart does indeed

You can't be serious. I sure as hell wasn't.

Isn't walmart where they sell food and stuff?

They also sell antidepressantsGǪ they have a pharmacy.

GL, tried getting minmatar light skin for few days now..

I've heard of shops doing two things, but three? That's new

KDR is a good statistic when determining the skill of a player though. I use it all the time when processing apps for FA.

Long story short: You want a good KDA for PC. Not dying is half the game, the other half is killing the other team. 2.0 is efficient, it means that you are worth 2 players on average (Since the ideal average K/D is 1.0). Cross reference with WP per week and W/L and you can sum up just how much of a "Team Player" an application is.
Obsessing over K/D is bad, but its still a decent statistic to be familiar with.

I've got a Min-L Thukker for sale. Shotty's got the only bid but anyone can top it. All you need is >30 million ISK.


C'mon guys I need the ISK. Don't be stingy you sh*ts.

Unless you're a masochist who likes "Sticking it to the man" by wasting other peoples time.

I believe Henrietta Unknown has one for sale, if he hasn't sold it.
