No, just kidding.
I'm actually trying to figure out if I should make Oniseki Holdings an actual ingame corporation founded by Katrina and run by some other character. I want it to have a visible presence, but on the same note.. I kinda like the baseline level the company has.
I'm curious for some opinions or experiences others have had about making an 'alt corp' for the purpose of RP. Was it really that useful down the road? Did it lend you that level of recognition you were hoping for regarding the existence of that organization?
-
So...this wasn't a serious corp idea? :(

It might help with the people that usually think that everything that doesn't happen ingame never happened and is not real.
However it might also make more visible that your corporation has no value at all in terms of numbers and power through ingame measurements. And these people will say that what we can't see (all the baseline level) does not exist anyway. Basically, you give them tools to find RP flaws in your corp, like the date of creation, the number of people working inside, and all these things they might use against you. Be prepared to find excuses to explain those.
So... I am not sure it is worth the trouble, but it might add a "legitimate" ingame side to something of your character's background. vOv

Look, you can't go about getting people's hopes up like this.

This is a good point. I hadn't really considered those angles. Has this happened to other alt corps before, though? Have we seen alt corps used as placeholders for a baseline operating company? I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, as most doubled as a 'personal one-man corp' for the main character sitting in it.

Don't be a hater tot! :D

I don't know, I'm being cynical and paranoid.

awwwwwwww

TrollKat, AwesomeKat.
My two cents: It might be helpful if you ever wanted to have a place to do business that was literally separate from I-RED.

I was so excited about this, I entertained the idea of +5 standing for them.
Re : Making alt corporations,
In general I haven't noticed if the existence of alt corporations has improved the visibility of the Foundations. Everyone finds the main corporation because of how our naming scheme works I guess.

Are people really that interested in a sex corp, or are you all just running with the joke? :eek:

In all fairness, I thought we already had a corp like this ingame. Think it's called the "Servant Sisters of EVE" or something...

They are just teasing you.

Adding my vote to the blueballed party. :cry:
As regards to the OP: People will moan either way you go. If you feel it'd add immersion to your RP, go with it. If not, I wouldn't bother.

One thing Eve needs more of is straight men getting each other off by pretending to be gay women. You should do this, and require all IC interactions to be done on a Skype video conference.

And the corp should be named "Both Hands on the Keyboard at All Times" with the ticker "NOFAP" amirite?

Where the fuck did my free alt slots go.

Edit: I am fucking astounded that not only had nobody gotten to it yet, but that that corp ticker had not been taken by anyone else yet. What the fuck, internet. You disappoint me.

I'll be way on the other side of the cluster from this, watching with idle curiosity.

Sorry. :(

Shit, I fell into another Makkal necro-traps. :D
Delete this one as well. :)
-
We're not in the habit of deleting posts, in case people hadn't noticed.
If anything, I want to know what Makkal originally wrote. :(
-
3 posts after the necro stamp and a thread has officially risen from the dead, right?
I'm with Morwen here, I want to know what Makkal wrote. If she won't say, I'll have to make something appropriate up. Perhaps I can make a film of it? "What the Khanid saw..."
-
In an attempt to find a corp and escape the evil clutches of the I-RED, little did Makkal know that the one she was considering was yet another trap by Katrina...

Not until I see Cherry's butt flying with a [NOFAP] ticker, it isn't. :3
-
Humbly requesting I-RED to pressure on Makkal until she reveals what she wrote.

We are handling this.

All that can be said about handling with natural skill...
On a side note, when creating the Ebon Rose thing, I did set it up as a corp so as to give it some visible presence. I'm still spinning ships trying to decide if I should just throw it out there on IGS and take what comes from the rest of the player-base. As its primary reason for being is RP-related, I'm not really concerned about numbers and stuff, but that could change; I know there has been some interest shown by a couple of people so it may turn into something bigger or implode. Either way, I just wanna have fun and nothing like learning than to jump right in...
