Be It Ever So Humble, There’s No Place Like Corp

YC113.09.21

Woo hoo!  I got hired!  Advent Ltd., I’m gonna make you (and me) rich!

Yup, it was finally time for every one's favourite lone wolf miner and business man extraordinaire to bring my massive talents to the poor wayward souls at Advent...

Ok, I guess that’s a bit over the top.  Actually:
  1. I got sick of paying CAS 11% taxes.  Seriously?  11%?  And just what the hell are you giving back for that?  No answer for me?  Just what I thought.
  2. I have no problem making ISK, but there is only one of me.  (No, jump clones don’t count!)  I can mine, or I can refine, or I can haul to market.  But no matter how hard I try, I can’t do all three at once.  That’s the great thing about a corp, built-in help - best way to be three places at once is to find two other people to do the work instead.
  3. I’m lonely.  (There, I said it.  You happy now?)  Lone-wolfing means I keep all my ISKies, but it also means no one to talk with, share a drink and a story, or help out in a pinch.
So just what am I going to be doing?  Well, looks like Advent has found themselves a nice, out-of-the-way wormhole to set up shop.  This means I’m gonna have a nice steady supply of high-end ores - no more of this high-volume, low-margin scraping to make a living.  And not only that, but corpies and alliance mates to watch my back while I’m out there.  No more worrying some bastard’s going to blow up the can or steal all my beautiful rocks!

I should be getting moved out there soon - we just need to scan up a safe way in.  In the meantime, I need to keep working towards the finish line...  Buying that Hulk!
