[19:54:07] zSecondary > Heyya
[19:54:11] Safran Foer > lo
[19:54:26] zSecondary > I'm recruiting for Goonfleet. I was just wondering if you'd be interested in joining on of the best 0.0 alliances in game with access to the best space, excellent rats, missions and asteroid belts?
[19:56:11] Safran Foer > sure
[19:56:31] Safran Foer > my whole corp i figure?
[19:56:56] zSecondary > Oh, you have a corp that's interested?
[19:56:58] zSecondary > Yeah that's doable
[19:57:45] Safran Foer > so what do we do for that?
[19:57:58] zSecondary > How big is your corp? Do you guys pvp or have an industrial team?
[19:58:46] Safran Foer > not that big, mostly industry, we are capship- able<br>just moved out of fountain after a lot of fun (ahuh) with Event Horizon
[19:59:02] Safran Foer > but we dabble in pvp too
[19:59:03] zSecondary > ah right
[19:59:07] zSecondary > Cool
[20:02:42] Safran Foer > so, you just convo-ing everyone who enters system or did my looks appeal to you that I caught your eye?
[20:03:53] zSecondary > I only convo a few people, check out their employment history, corp, etc
[20:04:18] zSecondary > afk watching the alliance tournament
[20:05:04] Safran Foer > ah PL, ill watch too then
[20:09:55] zSecondary > wow
[20:09:58] Safran Foer > yeah
[20:09:58] zSecondary > PL just wiped the floor
[20:10:29] Safran Foer > i was moaning about minnie games sucking the other day, wont anymore, ever
[20:10:36] Safran Foer > ships, not games*
[20:10:42] zSecondary > hahaha
[20:10:54] zSecondary > Yeah, completely countered them really well
[20:10:59] Safran Foer > /emote nods
[20:39:08] zSecondary > SO yeah, if you're interested we could probably find space for your corp in Delve. Maybe even an outpost. We've got a massive jumpbridge network now and with dominion coming out soon the space is going to get even better
[20:44:14] Safran Foer > kay, sounds good
[20:44:34] Safran Foer > will ofc have to talk with corp about ins and outs
[20:44:54] zSecondary > sounds good
[20:45:04] Safran Foer > are there any logistics/fees we should calculate in?
[20:45:23] Safran Foer > well, logistics is obvious ofc, but fees
[20:45:53] zSecondary > I'll have to check with one of the senior guys, I don't normally deal with corps, but I think there's a security fee that gets refunded after 72h after you join.
[20:46:04] zSecondary > Since there's not that many of you I don't think there'd be much monthly fees
[20:46:11] zSecondary > although dominion might change
[20:46:14] zSecondary > that,
[20:46:20] zSecondary > Noone knows :x
[20:46:43] Safran Foer > aye
[20:46:53] Safran Foer > dominion also reason you are recruiting?
[20:49:03] Safran Foer > but ok, there is no entry fee?
[20:50:51] zSecondary > Don't think so
[20:51:29] zSecondary > just the security deposit, then what looks like a small monthly fee to cover alliance costs etc.
[20:51:50] Safran Foer > security deposit, whats da?
[20:52:11] zSecondary > [20:45:27] zSecondary > I'll have to check with one of the senior guys, I don't normally deal with corps, but I think there's a security fee that gets refunded after 72h after you join.
[20:52:42] zSecondary > Same kinda thing we do for single people, take a deposit, after 72 after our security team do some checks and if everything goes ok, you don't attack us, you get it back.
[20:53:03] Safran Foer > nice
[20:53:09] Safran Foer > sorry i missed that before
[20:53:27] Safran Foer > wasted 7 minutes till the scam got introduced too :S
[20:53:36] Safran Foer > till i saw*
[20:53:56] Safran Foer > was actually beginning to believe this might be genuine
[20:54:12] Safran Foer > well anyway, enjoy the finals and good luck on others
[20:54:18] Safran Foer > ciao :)

Its hilarious too.  Because if you Read Mittani's column he says out in the open that they run a recruiting scam and to never give a goon any money.   Its not like they are hiding it.  But if you ask 1000 people and 1 gives you 500m .. you just made money.  I guess some people don't know who the goons are.
