And Who Could Forget Dear Ratboy?


We in Plantains are very proud of our dear and glorious leader who has lead us through countless dangers and each time managed, through the use of clever self sacrificing tactics involving leaving a newly joined member behind to save his own ass/Stilet.... I mean the rest of the fleet.

A close bond of trust exists between us and we've always there for each other should we need a shoulder to cry on, a bed to sleep in, a fireplace to lie in front of naked while eating grapes, and other wholesome activities for strappy young men. Discretion is a matter of honour and we trust each not to take advantage of or make fun of personal stories and anecdotes shared between our members.

.....

HAHAHAHAHA just kidding.


Anyway our CEO finally found himself job:



In other news it seems that our very popular and highly relevant link to the full series of the amazing My Little Pony show has finally been taken from YouTube, seeing as the mayor entertainment corporations refusal to adapt to reality. While this is of course a serious blow to corp morale, we have "top men" working day and night to try and track down another source of Pony goodness.

Meanwhile the powerful Danish faction of the corp decided this would be an ideal time to spread Danish culture beyond the borders, to try and civilize the other lesser races within the corp. We hope you'll enjoy it.

We're Still Here and We're Still Queer!


So it's been a little while since the last blog post which was about our little skirmish with an elite lowsec entity that didn't like to see small "noob corps" humiliate them as we apparently did. We went on a few tours into their space but every time we came close to their system to play they were always waiting with huge amounts of ships ready to bait us. These guys wanted revenge really bad and because of some rookie mistakes we lost a few ships.

It was pretty clear to us that we weren't going to find much fun here simply because of the sheer amount of enemies waiting for us every time we logged on. So we decided to move our PvP staging system to another region to meet some new people. And that's where we've been hanging out since then, although at a lower activity level.


As usual we've also been playing some Minecraft, bit of LoL, some Total War games and whatever else of interest we could find.

The one thing that EVE does really well is that it forces people to find together and play together, because of the, some would say brutal, difficulty, very high learning curve, and the general intelligence and patience requirements required to be able to get anywhere in the game. It's not a game that's supposed to be played alone. That is a good thing.

As I've mentioned before the first and most important goal of our corp is that we get to know each other. Not just because it's much more fun to play together, but rather because it is absolutely essential for building a corp able to survive in the EVE universe and able to last more than a few months without dying of inactivity and leadership burnout.


I'm guess I'm getting all serious now, but my basic point is just that having 3 games plus EVE to play with your lovely corpmates when you're not doing PvP, Incursions, Missions etc is probably the best, most optimal, and generally just the most fun way to get the most out of EVE Online.


TL:DR We love each other <3
