Valar Morghulis. Gentlemen's Agreement

Valar Morghulis. [GENTS] is a primarily North American timezone PVP corporation where serious internet spaceship giants are created from the sublime sartorial habiliments of more pedestrian gentlemen.
WeGÇÖre not a powerhouse. WeGÇÖre not an established empire. WeGÇÖre not the best small gang pvp corp known to man and bestial PI alt. Our name is not writ in glowing neon neo-Nipponese sigils twice ten-thousand kilometers long on the Jita undock, (which no one could probably read anyway, seems a bit of a waste, really). We do want to become those things, and we play with the assumption that itGÇÖs more meaningful to create that type of organization than to join one thatGÇÖs already established.
We are warrior poet gentlemen. We play for glorious battles, posts space sandcastles and iced tea at cricket matches in the afternoon when itGÇÖs just beastly hot and to engage in fisticuffs would just be unseemly and downright sweaty. We work hard to achieve our goals but know when it's time to relax and have a good time, engaging in ironic usage of self deprecatory humor and random acts of spaceship bombast. WeGÇÖve been in nullsec going on 18 months now, and have a healthy bit of failure and success under our belts. We know what we want out of our gameplay and have found an alliance in GENTS that supports that playstyle admirably.
What we're looking for:
- Mature, serious, addicted PvP players who have experienced a fair bit of EVE, (15m SP+) like the game, and are going to be around for a while. People who know what they want and are looking to join a group of other strong people who share similar goals.
- People who play primarily for PvP. PvP of all types; we do small roams and giant sprawling blobfests, and we think that all PvP is good PvP. If you're an indy guy, that's cool too GÇô Cicero said, GÇ£The sinews of war are unlimited money.GÇ¥ And he was right, because you see EVE is a lot like being a Roman senator. Even our indy-focused guys like the pew, though GÇô indy is just what you do to afford nice things.
- Pilots who dream big, and then set themselves out to achieve those goals fearlessly. Pilots who look at impossible situations as challenges yet to be overcome, who arenGÇÖt afraid of failure and constantly seek self-improvement.
- Willingness to train towards alliance-mandated ships and fittings with at least one combat character. Tight fleet comps beat random hodgepodge and a gang of well-trained vagabonds and scimitars is a sight pleasing to the eye of any gentleman with pretensions of sophistication.
- Standard Nullsec stuff, you need to have a mic, use voice-comms/jabber, and know your way around EFT.
What we offer:
- Subsidized PvP. Like any disgusting tech-heavy alliance, we subsidize your PvP. Losses sustained in the vagaries of interweb spaceship combat will either be replaced or compensated by the corporation.
- Space! Our alliance owns some of the best space in EVE, residing in the E-312G and KWCZ-A constellations of Branch, controlling 17 systems and 14 stations.
- Active, enthusiastic players and entertaining corp chat/jabber channels. We may be small, but we play big, reguarly placing at or near the top of alliance killboard metrics and efficiency stats. Our Killboard.
- Battle Reports. Seriously GÇô what good is a fight if you can't brag about it afterwards. We fight for the joy and glory of battle itself and we're not satisfied until everyone is sick to death of hearing about it.
- PVP Variety. We do small-gang stuff, we do skrimish stuff on the bleeding edge of major strat ops, we sit in maelstrom balls and orbit anchor, we deploy bombers halfway across EVE and pick on terrible ratters in expensive things. We do neat things with caps. There is even an alliance-mandated frigate fleet that hunts foxes while wearing tweed. Find your niche and hone your skills, or embrace it all and drown in kills - if you like PVP thereGÇÖs always something for you to do.
- A Latin-sounding name, plagiarized from a popular series of books (now with added HBO specialness) complete with a dot and a scary piratey logo. We're so lame it implodes in on itself and bursts forth quasar-like into awesomeness. IGÇÖd use a brane-theory reference here too, but then IGÇÖd be (even more of) a douchebag.
- Rational graft and corruption. 10 percent of your ratting income will be forcibly ripped from your still-grasping hands by a squad of trained monkeys (the wicked witch flying kind, not the lame singing pseudo-british kind although that would indeed be humerous as well) and delivered up unto our Gentlemen Overlords. Our fairly standard tatxrate is delivered to the alliance so that we can have nice things and the corp supports itself mainly through that Cicero stuff I was talking about before (which youGÇÖve kindly winked at because he was probably more than a little gay and had purple underthings on beneath his Epicurean toga).
- Most importantly, panache, sir; we are endowed with more than our share of moxy.
If you'd like to know more, please visit our website, or stop by for a chat in our public channel: Valar Morghulis where a recruiter or random alt will be afk, ignoring your pleas for mercy as you are studiously ignored and reduced to spending all your ISK on somer.blink. |

This weekend we had a little fun with tornados and suicide dreads...
The sun sank below the hills, prematurely green and littered with fallen cherry blossoms after a winter unseasonably warm and a week of downright summer-like spring. Gentlemen spaceship jockeys returned from their social calls, anti-Gurista pirate endeavors and general idling to form up with their peers for a spot of quail-hunting diversion. Sport coats, corduroy and tweed were doffed in favor of hunting jackets and sleek riding pants which were not gay at all in this instance because they are required attire for the hunting of all ground-dwelling fowl, who would otherwise remove themselves to their abodes and would not deign to be hunted a'tall.
We boarded our tornados, our huginn and lachesis-class recon cruisers, our scimitars and brave, brave sabres. A swarm of firetails wrapped their engine tails around the periphery of the fleet, which are really just rifters, only not quite so clearly plebeian. I mean, you might not wish to be seen stepping out of one at the clubhouse, but no one was going to use it to grind out the remnants of an exhausted cigarette either. There they were, though, flitting about, gaining perches, providing warp-ins for the fleet, generally being all-around swell fellows.
After a rather long formup, during which we practiced gentlemanly skills of verbal fisticuffs, honing our droll humor and imbibing a seasonal beverage or two, we sallied forth casting our waterford glasses to the floor as the baying of hounds filled the air and quickened our blood. Throughout the day our gentlemen associates had been passing dispatches back and forth, stolen from our enemies and printed luridly for all to see and remark at their knavishness. Tonight was to be "the real thing". Titans, supercarriers, and antiquated, armor-tanking battleships galore would be arrayed against us in petulant defiance of our clearly divine mandate of universal hegemony. Such a din of discussion, such a ubiquitous and unsubtle, obvious, and public display was made of our enemies intercepted plans that most discerning gentlemen were heard to sigh, despairing that any should dare show their faces in light of their intelligence snafu. Their plans had been leaked in toto, their desires were known, and our preparations made; their own agents were discovered and publicly flogged upon the village square. Surely no one would press forward with an attack under these conditions.
In fact they did not disappoint.
As the hour drew nigh, three enemy fleets scuffled and jockeyed for position, gaining hold-fasts on the ingates in 92D-, skirmishing with an alphafleet supported by drakes and sundry water-bearers. We awaited an opportunity in a neighboring system, exercising the better part of valor by eschewing a frontal assault through the gate in favor of a titan bridge from our own home system. I must say it was smashingly good sportsmanship on our enemies' part to choose a battle system that was within easy bridging/jumping distance of literally everyone within three region's span. Time slowed to a crawl as we exited the jump portal and aligned back to a POS. NCdot had brought in a (nearly) unsupported titan fleet and over a dozen of these mighty space vessels cast their quad-antialliased shadows upon the stargate to MA-. Afterburning rifters and battleships alike flattened their angular velocities to their peril, awaiting the fickle penchant of overviews tailored to cull the lazy to their doom. We stayed on the fringes of the fight, selecting interdictors and hictors for destruction, removing them to pave the way for our own response; a fleet which had received broadcast after broadcast during the day in preparation for this moment.
And almost all for nought - despite the prior knowledge that supers were a distinct possibility and the preparation of an afternoon, only a mere dozen pilots out of combined fleets numbering above eight-hundred were in interdictor or heavy-interdictor class vessels and thus many of the hubris-infected titan fleet were able to escape certain destruction. All but three, three glorious pilots breathing vapidly through open mouths, wiping sweaty palms against well-stained garmets cinched tight with elastic waistbands; pilots unmindful of their capacitor readouts who instead of requesting cap from their fellows, warped off into close proximity with 92D's star... surely in hopes of recharging their solar panels. A hero hictor trapped them there, and a gentleman quail-hunter giant by the name of Kippig lit the cyno for a rapid capital swarm, sealing three pilot's fates.
No more shall VeGet drive young pilots to tears, salvaging alloyed tritanium bars and logic circuts from under them in his Avatar.
Never again shall Enoch Dagar improve the effectiveness of a titan fit depending on fast locktimes and stacked tracking by fitting a cloaking device.
Nor shall that paragon of sportsmanship, that champion of fair play eLusi0n move us to heartfelt bleary-eyes and trembling upper lips by eschewing hybrid-weapon damage mods in favor of off-weapon variants on his Erebus.
We salute you. Bloody good show indeed. |
