// CLASSIFIED - ONLY THOSE OF LOOSE SANITY AND FLEXIBLE MORALS NEED READ ON //

(For TL;DR, scroll to bottom)




A very good evening to you, denizens of the inspiracy!


SYNE is now pro-actively seeking out new recruits to our organisation. Perhaps you have questions?


"Who are you?"

The Synenose Accord [SYNE] is an independent capsuleer corporation that, broadly speaking, exists to advance science and the preservation of human civilisation. We do this through different approaches such as intelligence gathering, diplomacy, covert operations, supporting various humanitarian causes and more.

At the moment, this translates into 3 primary goals
- Defeat of (or lasting peace with) Sansha’s Nation.
- Investigation of Wormholes, sleepers and scientific phenomena.
- Preserving interstellar stability through diplomacy and covert assistance when necessary.



"So, you're like EVE Jedi?"

HELL NO

The objective is what counts, and we are ends-justify-the-means type people. Whatever the obstacle, if it stands in the way we will go through, around, over, under and keep our eyes on the prize.

We work with whoever and do whatever is necessary to ensure the survival of humanity, advance our scientific knowledge and preserve interstellar stability.



"So what do you actually do?"

Our activities have mostly been based around what we need at the time. Online time mostly revolves around live events, low-sec roams, recon missions and some exploration and industry.

We hope to branch out and become more heavily involved in:
- Incursion Running.
- Wormhole Exploration. We hope to launch a long-term expedition in the future.
- Known Space Exploration.
- Bounty Hunting.

In SYNE, we cultivate an atmosphere where anyone should feel able to try any activity and enjoy support from the corp. We do have divisions and task-forces, but these indicate specialisation as well as function. You will never be told no unless it threatens the security of the corp or it's objectives or is likely to cause embarassment.



"Sounds interesting. Can I join?"

We certainly hope so! However, there are rules and criterea. Some are non-negotiable. Some we will probably ignore. Some will mark you out as a good egg.

We will not have:
- Sansha Loyalists.
- Ex Sansha Loyalists (Unless you can provide an Oscar-worthy explanation. We will probably still say no)
- Blood Raiders (Sani-Sabik still welcome)
- Political Agitators.
- People who can't work as part of a team.
- Those covered under the "Drama" category.

Where we're neutral:
- Pirates.
- Political Exiles.
- Sani-Sabik.
- Ex EoM

Who we really like!
- People who can be professional and disciplined.
- People with specialist skills, in game and out of game stuff which can be applied in game.
- Experts and veterans.
- Enthusiastic newbies willing to learn.
- Positive people!


TL;DR



We are aiming to acheive our objectives and have fun along the way! We're looking for go-getters, we want the SSV Normandy crossed with Battlestar Galactica crossed with Watchmen crossed with X Files crossed with Avengers.

We would like you to be a part of that.

To take a popular descriptive device, rip it off and do it to death, we aim to be less this...
[spoiler][/spoiler]

... more this...
[spoiler][/spoiler]

... with maybe a sprinkling of this.

Thank you for reading!

Your 'will not have' and 'will probably look the other way' categories feel like they should be one in the same. When I see 'will probably look the other way', it reads to me as 'well better not even apply if theyre probably going to look away'. In essence, both read the same thing to the potential recruit.

Looks pretty fun, and would get involved, but that kind of doesn't work for me :)

Out of curiosity, I am trying to figure out what annoys you with political exiles ? Is that because they are considered an unecessary threat to Syne ?

Seems to have been some miscommunication by me, sorry folks!

This should be better; "When we will look the other way" has been turned to "where we're neutral".

This was the original intention, to highlight the things that won't decide wether we accept/recject an appication and therefore shouldnt be worried about, i.e. we dont really care that you might have been a pirate or dabble in Sani Sabik. I was hoping this would reassure those with chequered pasts.

This could have been put better, but I hope this clears up the confusion :)

What do you have against Jedi? 

Your bigotry is troubling.  That path leads to the Dark Side.

^ Justification :P ^

But excellent point! We came to the conclusion among ourselves that trying to be perfect good guys would limit us in our RP and our gameplay, so we opted to occupy a more gray area of ethics.

Force-wielding, desert-dwelling prodigies may sleep safely though, we're morally flexible, but we're not assholes. The analogy is just meant to point out that we dont operate by an altruistic code.

Star Wars is very 2 sided. Well 3 sided if you count the "sliding rapidly towards the dark side side" a la Ep 3. So theres no perfect Star Wars analogy, but if you really wanted, we'd be something like Gray Jedi.

Hope this adressed your concerns :)

This is really cool. I was worried for a while that you guys were just gonna become 'live events' the corporation. Its good to see you getting some identity. Does this mean you will no longer be attacking angel loyalists/actors at angel events?

Also, Saede would probably be willing to work with newSyne if you got in touch with her.

Interested in your Sabik / Raider split. 

Perhaps we'll pay a visit to your IC comms  :P

Though certainly quieter than Incursion days, SynePublic is still our main public comms. If you have information, an alert or wish to speak directly to us for official/recruitment purposes, this is the place to go.

Also, SynePublic has a section in the MOTD, (sort of like a weather report :P) where we will list current alerts, mostly live events.

For general "/me walks into the bar and takes a seat" RP, The Syne Lounge is our RP space, and is open to all who are not enemies.

Its still a big part of what we do, but yes, we came to a conclusion back in the summer that solely focusing on live events would be like waiting for a greenflash at sunset, i.e. it might not even happen.

Thankfully we've been proved wrong (because of Falcon) so we will be actively involved in the Live Events, but alongside other activities within our MO.

Regarding your question about Angels, we are neutral to both the Cartel and their loyalists. However we do commit to preserving interstellar stability and preventing misuse of tech, which did (and still does) place us in a tricky situation politically regarding the specific incident you're referring to.

If we can, we will still work with both the Cartel and Loyalists when we share simmilar objectives, especially against Sansha (enemy of my enemy etc).

You could call us frienemies.

However regarding that specific event, it would be disingenuous and demeaning to the RP community to not admit OOC that at the time we were itching to get involved in the first live event in a long year. We also didnt know if this would be Devs having a laugh, a promotional for DUST 514 or any other kind of one-off. I admit, rules were bent becuase of that. Part of the reason fo the diversification of our activities is that in the future, we can have the option to not go guns blazing into a Live Event, and take more passive/observer roles.

Anyway, TL;DR from that policy statement, it will depend on the event. But in any case we will always be open to working with The Cartel and their associates in individual cases of mutual interest.
