  1. Read this whole post carefully before applying.

    I know you are in a rush and really keen and hurf blurf but talk to Endie or Midge before applying, and potentially save yourself a public record of your bad decisions on these forums.

    General Information:

    Before you post your application, you should have a vouch; you must have created a forum account and you must have added APIs for ALL OF YOUR ACCOUNTS, without exception, even if some of them are inactive or will never be in PL.  Failure to do any of these means the end of your glittering career in Bat Country.

    Read the first paragraph again, especially the bit about the APIs.

    You can create the necessary APIs at this address.  Don't just try to create your own ones without using that link as you will look suspicious, incompetent  or both.

    You will almost certainly be trolled.  If that terrifies or upsets you, then you may wish to reconsider applying.

    Don't apply just because you want to hang out with the best-posting corp in Eve.  If you join Bat Country you will be expected to be active in Eve.  If you want to be sociable, use our public slack instead.

    If you do not understand anything about this post, then ask your vouch for advice.  This is fine, and shows you are smart enough to know that you know nothing.  Plato would approve.

    Once you have read and understood this entire post, register on the forums using the EXACT in-game name as your main character.  That is important.  Do not use an awful password.  Then enter your APIs using the mask we have provided.  Then create a new thread in the same subforum as this post, with the title of that thread being the same in-game main character name as you used to make your forum account.  Paste the questions below into that thread and provide answers to ALL of them.  If you do so in a way that suggests that you are writing on a phone set up to auto-correct into Ebonics you will harm your chances, so take your time.

    Do not apply in-game until told to do so.

     

    The Application Form

     

    1. Who do you know in Bat Country that is willing to vouch you into the corp?  Having a vouch does not guarantee entry, but without a vouch you will not be able to join us.  Why do you believe that Endie decided to poach you?

     

    2. Have you entered ALL of your APIs for ALL of your accounts, including any inactive accounts, spy accounts, highsec money-making accounts, test anchor accounts and the rest?

     

    3. Please list all your characters on all your accounts and provide links to skill sheets and killboards. State how long you've had ownership of said characters. If you have characters that you for some reason need to keep secret‚ PM the relevant info to your recruiter when asked to provide API.

     

    4. How old are you, and what timezone do you mainly play in?  What languages do you speak?

     

    5. When you log into Eve Online, what do you enjoy doing?  What motivates you to log in more?  Describe your perfect evening in Eve.

     

    6. For how long would you say that you play Eve each week?

     

    7. For how long have you played Eve Online, Iceland's premiere internet spaceship simulator?  Post a brief biography of your Eve Online career, being sure to tell us about the good times, the bad times, the indescribable highs and the horrifying lows.

     

    8. How do you make ISK?  If you need to buy a bunch of ships when you join PL, how will you afford that?

     

    9. Why do you want to join Bat Country?  Why are you leaving your current home?

     

    10. Post two kills that you are particularly proud of or happy with.  Explain why.

     

    11. Post a favourite fit for a ship you like to fly.  Explain why, and briefly describe an occasion on which you used it.

     

    12. You are part of an AHAC fleet which gets bombed mid-fight.  Your shields are removed and you take 5% armour damage.  You, along with half of the fleet, immediately panic and broadcast for repairs.  You are called out by a notorious troller of bad players on fleet comms and several others join in, suggesting that you should be kicked from the corp and that the corp should then be kicked for harbouring you.  How do you respond?  What do you do?

     

    13. Boredom, a pizza delivery, or a combination of the two force you to log off during a fleet in your railgun proteus.  Logging back in thirty minutes later to go home, however, you land on a gate to be greeted by a stiletto and gila and, jumping through, you see a small hostile gang that looks like this:

    If you cannot see the image above, use this link.  What do you do?

     

    14. Can you fly a carrier?  Triage?  A dread?  If so, which siege mod?  Do you have a supercarrier or titan?

     

    15. Have you any FCing experience?  If so, describe it.

     

    16. Do you post on Reddit, Something Awful, Failheap Challenge, EN24, TMZ, Zulu or the like?  If so, link your account for each.

     

    17. You will be asked to join us on voice comms for a short interview, during which you will have to read the following text aloud:

    "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."
