Like most people, I always get a sense of renewal around the new year. That feeling of change that may or may not occur. Usually its a quick feeling as the same old baggage comes to slap you in the face and remind you that the only real change you'll be getting this year is heavier baggage.
Kadavr Conglomorate, another of Nashh Kadavr's built corporations, has been through a lot in its few years living in wormholes. Gone from c4 to c5 and down to c2 wormholes, dealt with ups and downs of inactivity, evacuated a c5 wormhole, and even survived the incompetence of a so called "leader." The corp made it through a lot but not without scars. No direction or vision for the future, a kill board that was all but inviting, and members with limited or no experience in pvp. Change was both wanted and needed.
Enter Dead Space Hooligans. On the outside it looks like a corp made up of the same members that were in Kadavr Conglomorate, and it is. There is one major difference between them though. Morale! While we were in Kadavr it always seems like we were held down by the corps past. Not matter what we did we couldn't fix those mistakes. So instead of grinding through with all of the baggage that was Kadavr Conglomorate we decided to start fresh.
Again, on the outside it looks like an old rifter with a new paint job, but this rifter is purring like a kitten. We have worked out security measure that will keep our corp and members safer from corp thieves which means an easier time recruiting, which we will be opening up soon. Revamped our loot payout systems and increased incentives for those that go above and beyond on loot collections. Increased pvp activities, we are currently roaming in low sec for some basic training, and basic pos defense training. Our kill board, while not the best looking stats around, at least looks like it has a chance. New leadership that actually makes decisions and cares about the corp and its members. And a lot of other stuff that doesn't mean much to anyone outside the corp.
Change can be tough sometimes, but if its embraced it can renew the fighting spirit! We chose to change and are 10x better off now because of it!

Greed
So Since the last payday for the wormhole corp, my sidekick Adex III and I have been hitting the sites pretty hard to maximize our isk intake! All has been going good with 2 wormholes full of sites wiped clean by us alone and several others done with more corp members, we are well on our way to 2 bil profit depending on when they decide to take our lootz out. Unfortunately for us, last night went bad. Very bad!
So we clear a c4 statics sites and decide to close the wormhole and open a new one for more sites! All went well and we opened up the new static with 19 regular sites. Jackpot in our eyes! Keep in mind for me it is 10:30 pm when we start running these sites. So we are running site after site after site, checking dscan as we go and all is good. Gets to be about 2 am for me and my eyelids are getting heavy. I tell Adex that I'm about to call it cause I'm about to fall asleep but he talks me into doing more sites until we get another bil worth of lootz. I agree and run 2 more sites. He tells me we have a little over a bill in lootz and are good to go. At this point I get a little greedy and decide to do one more to attempt to even out our individual payments.
At this point its almost 3 am and I'm so tired that I'm not even thinking about dscan. So we finish the site and warp the noctis in for the lootz. Again feeling so tired I decide to lay my head on my desk. What seemed like a second (but really about 2 minutes) I was asleep. I open my eyes and look up to see multiple red boxes and bubbles around my fleet. Adex yells my name (I can only assume he kinda new I had fallen asleep) and I then start aligning out in an attempt to get out of the bubbles. Being a remote rep tengu and that the other 2 tengus on the field being jammed, my tengu went down.(my first t3 loss) I start moving my pod out as I'm still in the bubble, as I'm almost out they finally decide to finish the job and back to Dal I go. Soon the other 2 tengus go down as well but we are relieved to find out the noctis got out.
That was short lived as in the suspense the noctis jumps to the wormhole at 0 where they have a tackle waiting. Noctis jumps through hoping the stabs will be enough to prevent the tackle but in the end he had to jump back through and attempt to cloak. He managed to cloak but wasn't able to move fast enough and eventually got de-cloaked and died. just over 2.5 bil worth of ships destroyed and 1.1 bil worth of lootz lost. We were sad pandas. Granted the loss of or ships and even out lootz didn't phase us much. We were more annoyed at the complete waste of time our greediness cost us! Safe to say ill start stocking up on the mountain dew and red bull for our next late night run!

The Return
Due to needing some extra real life moniez and the lack of free time that allowed me I have been inactive for about 4 months on the pvp side of eve. Kept my wh alt subbed to try and keep a steady flow of isk rolling in but again lack of free time just didn't allow it and eventually the account went mia as well! But now summer is coming to a close and Im getting back to my usual schedule.
Upon re-subbing Acute Dragonis, I promptly swapped him over from pvp corp to wh corp due to lack of iskies. Been back a month and with 2 paydays under the belt have already generated 2.1bil isk (no Nashh you cannot have for your titan fund!) and managed to only spend 400mil so far, which is good in my book!
Ive also been trying to whip some of these wh players into pvp shape I was told that they are pve players and we should resort to talks over tea and cake when we meet other wh corps. That's fine and dandy sometimes but the day is coming when we will have to defend our wh and id rather be ready instead of having to explain things. In a bit of bait training I had one member in a tanked probing drake. We brought 2 cane, 2 falcons, and a 100mn tengu plus the tengu booster. The thing about wh pvp is it can be extremely hard to get intel on a target and/or fleet it may be in. We brought these ships to go against a falcon, Proteus, and 3 rr tengu. Basic stuff really use 100mn to burn down falcon while we start jaming and melting the rr tengus. We had a cloaky follow them untill they stoped and launched probes. We came up shortly and pushed the drake through and did the same.
Few minutes passed and nothing going on. Our 100mn tengu and boosting tengu lost his net and dc'd. 30 sec later a\our drake pilot is saying Arazu has him pointed! no big deal means more are coming so we jump into wh and hold cloaks. A few seconds later a Zealot is called out so we warp for the kill. We land point and start the onslaught. Everything is going good, Arazu jammed ans Zealot pointed and falling. Check Dscan and nothing so I focus on keeping optimal. Zealot hits 50% armor and here comes the reinforcements! Now a total of 12 hostiles on the field! After we stop laughing on comms (all you can do in that situation) I tell them to finish Zealot and warp if possible. I start warp then get pointed by Arazu and half a sec later Arazu is jammed again and I attempt another warp! I was so close to warp i could already feel the relief set in and then boom....
We start warping pods out. Both falcons made it out and kudos to them for some of the jams. We would have made it out if not for the number of points! But as we are warping and finally checking Dscan again I see a lot more ships than what we saw on the field! Checking the loss mail I also notice that this fleet is not made up of anyone in the corp we were actually baiting. So after a quick search I find their battle report. It seems that the group we initially tried to bait jumped in shortly after and killed 2 more ships. Good fun!
Besides the fact that we didn't watch the Dscan closely enough and we lost one dps right before the fight, over all it went very well. They listened, called points and jams. We are getting there, we just really need a few more active pilots to compete with the bigger wh corps.

New KBG Recruitment
OK listen up grunts, we still have a few limited places available for the right people.
If your attitude sucks, if you act like a hormonal teenager, then don't bother applying even if you have a "elite" killboard, you won't get in.
We're not interested in Drama llama's.
There is a few specifics you will need to have, or be close to flying:
1 racial T2 cruiser hull, with full T2 weapons/modules and Tank. ie HAC/Recon/Logi
1 racial T2 frigate T2 Weapons/modules where required.
Battlecruiser trained to 4 minimum, with appropriate fittings.
This means you will have a bare minimum of 10m skillpoints, and in the right areas.
We fly the following gangs, you will be expected to be able to have fitted and be able to fly something suitable from your hanger.
Frigate wolf pack
Shield Battlecruiser
Shield Nano Battlecruiser
Tier 3 Battlecruiser Alpha
Battleship, Dread / Carrier fleets - we do these, occasionaly.
Corp ops are non mandatory, however if you don't want to fly with a gang, why join a corp?
Combat experience is preferable, as is a positive kill / death ratio, however for the right people that are willing to listen, we can break your bad habit of dying and make you into a solid combat pilot.
We have solid logistics in place, with regular freighter runs to/from Jita, and lowsec/highsec hauling.
You will also need the following:
Working Mic, and audio. We use Mumble/Vent/TS3 depending on who we are flying with.
Self sufficient isk source. We can assist by providing Alt access to lvl4 missions, and to our WH for isk.
We are mainly EU/US timezone. Background checks may apply.
Contact Anabaric, Acute Dragonis, or Nashh Kadavr in game, or Join Kadavr Public for more information

What's Your Eve Personality?
Just like in the real world, Eve is filled with an assortment of personalities! Each one has its place in eve of course but there are a few that we could probably do without and as a game be just fine if not better off! I got a few that I've come across over the few years I've been playing.
Personality 1 - The Silent
Whether its intended or not, I found this personality to be more of a loner. They tend to stay in their original npc corps or make one of their own and play carebear. The only talking in local you will see from them is if they are in a hub trying to sell items via contracts. Some times, after buying a certain item, you might get a mail or a private chat telling you of the other things they sell and if you buy from them in bulk you may get a discount but try making small talk and you'll hear crickets! Other than that you may never even notice them.
Personality 2 - The 12 Year Old
We have all run into this personality. At first they seem normal. They are usually in their 20's or 30's and 95% of the time don't have family. (IE wife and/or kids) Then, out of no where, their caps lock gets "broken" and their porno collection is magically connected to corp chat and local. Every Comment out of their mouth is racial and childish. Really not much I can say about this group that everyone doesn't already know. And to be clear I'm not talking about the random outburst in local that WE ALL have at some point but the people that log on and the first comment in corp is is a WASSUP %#$%^$% I JUST GOT DONE $%@*^@^ YOUR SISTER! That's the douche bag I'm talking about!
Personality 3 - The Celebrity
Ever log on or jump into a system and more than 10 people tell you O/ in local? No? Then this isn't you. Yes, I'm sure some of my fellow bloggers get noticed more often than others in local chat but I'm talking about the local celebrity. The one that comes into system and everyone starts up a convo with. The one that logs on just to have these players talk to him. He is the type of player that is easiest to read. Usually in the same system and docked in the same station or outside the same station in the same ship as every other day. Strike up an argument against him and 30 locals jump in to defend him. He makes a joke about you and 30 locals laugh at it in unison! Ask him for a 1v1 and he happily declines and says he must log soon! Our blogging "celebrity" is a full blog post worth of stuff so I wont go there for now.
Personality 4 - The My Way Is Best Way
This type is primarily found in PvP players but holds true to our carebears as well. They fly a few select ships vary rarely flying anything else. They are usually flying with the same buffs and the same implants. Now that isn't so bad right? Fly what you know and such. But its the attitude you get from them that makes them stand out! If you cant fly their ships the way they want and with the build they want, you suck. If you don't kill things in the same manner they kill things then its considered "faggotry" and you suck. You don't do as much damage on a killmail as they think you should then you suck. You don't have the amount of solo kills as they think you should, you suck. If you don't spend all your isk on one epic ship just to lose it a few days later like they do, you suck. Then they lose 3 bil worth of ships and claim they haven't had fun with the game for a while...
Personality 5 - The Carelessly Content
This is the type I feel like best describes me. This type is content with where they are in the game. They don't feel like they need to go make the most isk, have the biggest ships, or get the most kills. They just want to play. They wanna play the way they play and not let anyone else tell them how to play. Sounds similar to the personality 4 but the main difference is they don't try and force their play style onto others. They may not always have or be able to afford the right ships for roams. Not so much to the extent that they refuse to bring a certain ship to an organized and preplanned roam but to the extent that if they don't have the ship or cant get the ship, they don't want to be bitched at for participating in a impromptu roam with one of the few ships they have available. They usually don't whine or complain because they could care less about what anyone really thinks. Being so content can cause carelessness as well though. I tend to get podded more often then not because I'm just not frantic enough to get the pod out. I also tend to find bait and knowing that it is indeed bait try and see what i can do before support comes.
What gets me the most when it comes to these personalities is how they each have a little bit of the other in it or how by being categorized in one can sometimes mean you fit into another. Take the 12 year old. If he rants and raves in a single system for too long he is going to become well known to the locals. Eventually he will be getting all the attention he wants and will continue to play that role for the masses. In return that player becomes a celebrity. I mean lets face it, who said everyone had to like a celebrity? Looking at 4 and 5, they can both be arrogant and prideful. Both being stuck in their ways of doing things means they will most likely clash. The clashing can be negative or positive depending on the individuals but that's another discussion! Number 5 could be so content that they are used doing things by themselves and for themselves that they seem like loners and seem quiet even in a decent sized corp. They might be more focused on themselves in this case and less on the corp. Corp is roaming and they go out solo, that kind of thing. Gives the feeling of The Silent in a way.
Now I know there are so many different personalities out there but this is just my attempt to categorize a few of them. You may call them something different but no matter what you call them I'm 100% sure you've seen 1 of each if you've played Eve long enough!
