BDCI û My corp are the hands of the MC. We are the ædoersÆ. WeÆre the crazy bastards that drive the rest of the alliance nuts with our, ôHey, letÆs do this!ö posts. My members are intentionally not famous or well-known. Those æbig namesÆ we have in the corp mean less to us than the people behind them. To wear the BDCI name tag indicates you are seeking friendship, a true home in a virtual universe. ItÆs a commitment to a higher level of personal satisfaction, a desire to enhance your game play beyond ôwhatÆs in it for me?ö
My members amaze me every day with their dedication to their corp and this alliance. SivonaÆs amazing piloting, Kenshin and RoninÆs logistical prowess, LatexÆs love of pod kills, DraxÆs fantastic team spirità As we expand and add new, quality players like Cowboy and Winterblink to our ranks, BDCI only grows stronger. The MC is our life in EVE, and we will work our asses off to keep it going until the servers shut down.
For a year now, the above four corps have done their best to put the best face possible on the mercenary profession in EVE. Sometimes we stumble, but we have never fallen. To date, we have never failed a client. We are constantly working to improve both ourselves and the services we can offer potential customers. We are not pirates or a gank squad. The MC is a military force capable of shifting the balance in almost any conflict. We offer fleets of almost entirely Tech 2 ships, a Dread and Carrier force surpassed or rivaled only by the largest alliances in the game. Most importantly, we offer the pilots capable of doing the job set before them.
To celebrate our One Year Anniversary, IÆve put together a short video that tries to put into pictures and footage everything IÆve said above.
Vid Linkage û Who is the MC? (Parental warning û there is exactly one bad word in the song used in the vid. Please let it beà)
We are proud members of the EVE Community and we thank the men and women at CCP for providing the ôViolent Playgroundö for us to play in. Here is to the next year! -

- Go Us! -
One year ago today, the Mercenary Coalition announced its expansion from two to four corporations. That announcement is considered by many to be the actual æbirthÆ of the MC, so today we celebrate the end of our first year together. It has been an amazing and fun year, one where weÆve traded fire with almost every major organization in EVE.
Two years ago, my corp started down an uncertain path. We wanted to establish the mercenary profession as something solid and respectable in the EVE universe. Along the way, we made friends and enemies both. Despite the lack of any real in-game mechanic and the uphill battle we faced, we stuck to our guns. IÆd like to think that we confounded our critics while delighting our clients and fans.
But we didnÆt make the journey alone. Being the spokesperson for my corp and what would later become the MC put the spotlight on my corp as the ôleaderö or the ôbestö of the MC. Far too often have we seen our names in local while the others in our gang went ignored. As I said, we didnÆt make this journey alone.
FRICK û Sharks with Frickin Laser Beams are the heart of the MC. They have been our brothers for nearly two years. Players like Neurotic Cat, Julien, Xulnaga and Karmic have seen it all continue to shape their corp into the deadly instrument of warfare that it is today. Much of the MCÆs success today is also owed to past FRICK members like Velsharoon, Hinik & Danks who are now proud members of Arcane Frankologies. About the time of the formation of the official Alliance for the MC, FRICK gained Eyeshadow and Farjung, both players who are on their way to legendary status in their own right.
Today, the Sharks serve as what is hopefully the final stop to many experienced players. Every month that passes sees them add a new face destined to become a valued member of the MC Family. There is simply no way that my corp or the MC would be where we are today without these guys.
[-TC-] û TC are the claws and fangs of the MC. This is because the most unknown corp of the MC is also the most deadly. We often refer to The Corporation as the æPitbulls of the MCÆ. TC is a group of RL friends who all basically live a rockÆs throw from each other. They are a tight and absolutely ferocious group of PvPers. Guys like Ithildin are probably on the Devs æmost wantedÆ list for his constant spamming of them on one issue or another. The last thing you want to see on your scanner is Eelak or Generatorn, especially if you are a pirate near their hunting grounds. How many dozens of support pilots have fallen before the guns of ZajoÆs Wolf?
Many times has victory been snatched from the jaws of defeat for the MC been due to the bold actions of this small corp. The Corporation is an example to all of EVE that you donÆt have to be the biggest to be the best at what you do.
NSN û Without a doubt, the soul of the MC. Words cannot express how freakinÆ amazing a group of pilots North Star Networks represents. These guys take teamwork to a level most corps in EVE can only dream of. As I watched NSN from afar for months as they fought in the Great Northern War, I developed a friendship with Leafo that rivals any IÆve known in æreal lifeÆ. That friendship led directly to NSN becoming a part of the MC where I got to meet and know the rest of the corp. Players like Uruko, who drives the industrial heart of NSN, are few and far between.
From TimonÆs drunken ramblings to Recluse *****ing constantly about his beloved Caldari ships to Lowa mistakenly jamming me, the members of NSN make the game fun and thatÆs what itÆs really all about, isnÆt it? -

Upon reading a post on our boards that there would be an MC anniversary announcement made on the EVE-O forums... and that a brief response would be appreciated (though not required)... I began to put a bit of thought into exactly what I wanted to say. While I very rarely post on EVE-O... those who have read my posts may recall that I try to put a tremendous amount of thought into precisely what I want to communicate. This post probably tops that list... as I feel compelled to share with fellow EVE players, and alliance mates, exactly what my home within the MC means to me.
I came to MC after my close group of friends decided to formally disband our corp and move on to greener pastures. Most of us are æreal lifeÆ friends (as that is a requirement to be invited to become a Shriner)à and most likely always will be. Keeping this in mindà to say that I had high expectations of BDCI is an understatement. My love for EVE runs deepà but without a great group of friends the greatest of MMOs will lose itÆs luster.
I grew up PKing in MUDsà and figured that my willingness and ability to kill other players might, to some degree, play some part in my acceptance. After allà the MC are mercs. I knew that the process of joining would take a whileà and that personality would most likely play more of a role in my being accepted than how many skill points my character might possess. To be honestà the fact that many, many people are turned away not because they are bad peopleà or bad playersà but because they simply might not mesh well with the rest of the crew was a selling point. I wanted a tight-knit group of friends to hang withà not a bunch of power gamers.
Being adopted into BDCI and the MC exceeded my every expectationà without a single exception. The MC is more of a family than I had imagined. Knowing the people that I know nowà and looking at the fact that they felt comfortable in allowing me into the familyà I feel incredibly privileged.
The public (mis)conception of the MC is incredibly one-sided. Yes, we may be good at shooting peopleà but there are a multitude of things going on behind the fun that many people make happenà oftentimes with little gratitude. Eyeshadow is one of the supreme FCs in this game. Kenshin is æMr. Do Everything that Everyone Else Hates to DoÆ. Leafo, while being a notorious film expert, hears a æThank YouÆ about once a year for putting all his time and effort into the website. TC and NSN almost NEVER receive the recognition that they deserve because they do not frequent the forums. Paniq and Ehxo are both tied for æNicest Person in the Known UniverseÆ. Recluse puts the fear of God into everyone he targetsà while spreading the word of the almighty Kladdkaka. Seleene receives loads of attention (both negative and positive)à but rarely receives gratitude for all the incredibly hard work behind the scenes. Timon keeps us all laughing and happy, while Latex is the calm and collected voice of reason. I could go on naming names for an hour. Needless to sayà a tremendous æThank YouÆ goes out from me to all those of you who do so much to make EVE what it is for meà for all of us.
To all my alliance matesà a heartfelt æThank youÆ. IÆm sorry you donÆt hear it more frequentlyà and IÆll do my best to share my gratitude more often. If it werenÆt for all of you IÆd have left EVE five months and twelve days ago.
To everyone elseà when you watch an MC videoà take a moment to consider how many people are doing things that are little to no fun to make it all happen. There are people and lives behind the action.
Only two things in life are certain... and Mercenary Coalition doesn't do taxes. |

All I can say is wow. It continues to be a great ride . I can say I was somewhat overwhelmed with the level of dedication, organization and attention to detail that is in the MC. Some of the things I have seen just blew me away ie; Sel's work ethic (making sure our pilots have what we need at the drop of a hat) Farjung and his scanner or Eyeshadow and his Domi and Ishtar to name a few
Happy B-Day us and i'm looking forward to the comming year

I remember watching one of Eyeshadows videos a while back and I remember I was really impressed about the way they used HACs in combat. I was impressed by the balls the pilots showed. The pilots seemed to really know what they were doing and were keeping their cool in dangerous situations. Suffice to say I was impressed and started dreaming of flying my own HAC in Leeeroy combat situations and thought about how much fun it would be to become a mercenary.
Fortunately I knew some guys in NSN and was even more fortunately accepted into the corp. Today I fly my own HAC in stressful combat situations and I sometimes almost know what the hell I am doing.
Much love to all the MC and to all our targets ----------------------------------------------
