12. UPDATE: The rabbit hole is getting deeper

I've been playing Eve for almost four months now. After tooling around by myself for three and a half months I just joined my first corporation a couple of weeks ago. I was recruited randomly by a guy who, it turns out, played Eve for seven years, took a break, then came back and decided to create a new corporation from scratch. So far it's him running the show with me and and two other noobs in tow.

Anyway, the other day the boss gets an in-game message from some random dude who represents a corp that "protects" other corporations for a one-time "donation". Apparently our "donation" has been set at 250,000,000 ISK. If we pay, they'll help us if anyone declares war on us. If we don't pay, they'll declare war on us! The dude signs off with, "Take care and make the right choise."

Our boss has offered them 150,000,000 ISK -- provided they can give us proof that they are actually powerful enough to "protect" us. Seems like he knows what he's doing

And now some more eye-candy:
