The Captains Log

The Captains Log 4/8

 

Deciding the Future

So the last 5 days has been full of discussions with our respective corporations and the alliance in general about what we are going to do with ourselves now that we have lost our space down in Esoteria.

We have now twice tried to build an alliance and hold our own space, but this has failed us twice now, so there was a general feeling that we shouldn’t travel down this road again. So the first thought was to combine all the current corps into one megacorp and then join an existing alliance. It was thought that this would provide us with the experience, which we lacked in our alliance. The biggest requirement we had was for us all to stick together move as a team. Most of our members had all been recruited at around the same time in the same corpertation, had helped to build our first alliance and then to revolt in it when found the rules in it to restrictive and not letting use develp our characters. We had history together and wanted this to stay with us.

 

Offer 1

To this end we began putting out feelers to other alliances to see if anyone was interested in us joining with them. During this period two other corps contacted us about future. The first one was Pyrrhus Sicari, a capital based corporation from the former IRC alliance. Joining them would effectively give us a large capital fleet along with the numbers from our corporation we could also field a support fleet. With this we would have a good chance of joining another alliance. This was already in the works with some interest been shown from Razor, Wildly Inappropriate and Shadow of xxDeathxx. 

 

Offer 2

Another corporation also contacted us about joining with them called I.M.M who are already part of Systematic-Chaos. Systematic-Chaos was one or the alliances that lived with us in Esoteria and spearheaded the attack on us when Stain Empire declared war on us.

 

Decisions Decisions

 Essentially both of these offers were the same. By joining Py we would be able to pick a alliance we wanted to join and fight with them. The biggest motivation here was the change in scenery this offered us, as a lot of members where sick of living in Esoteria/Stain and having to deal with Stain Empire. I was one of these members and campaigning for a move into a new space. Alternatively, the I.M.M offer would allow us to stay in space we already knew, join a alliance we knew and had fought with on occasion. Essentially, the difference between the two offers boiled down to a certain future with everything made for us, or a uncertain future in which could control our destiny (or as one member put Romantic Idealism). 

 

And the Winner is…

After much discussion, yelling and general political campaigning the Systematic-Chaos offer won the corporate vote (after it swung quite a number of times). So we are staying where we are. Unfortunately, for me this means bring all my ships back down from empire after I took them up there. Sigh. Of course now comes the political wrangling in our new corp for dominance, as it is the corp of the original members, but we are going to bring a lot of new members into the corp, who will eventually out number the old guard.

On interesting thing about I.M.M is that Mars Volta is part of it. I remember him from my days in SMASH-Kill as one of the lead FC’s in the powerblock.

Well we went through some dark times the future is now brighter then ever.
