The orgin of a young-old dust veteran

Lol the history of the Phoenix is my story, I started in this corp and in the following nearly 9 months, it has consumed every aspect of my gaming life.

Chapter 1 - Kariou Shomei & Sun Djinn Kari

A long time ago, back when New Eden was just a place to have giant spaceship battles, find friendship, enemies, rivals, and do amazingly awesome things in the vast blackness of space, a new game was formed. With this new game came a player, we will call him, Sun Djinn Kari. A player who has explored the vastness of space, the low security hang outs, the high security high life, and the emptiness of a wormhole. This, is his origin story.

"Hey, did anyone see this new game? They are calling it DUST 514", said SDK over the corporate communications.
"Yea, its going to be complete crap. I dont know why they are bothering, they cant even get this game right!", exclaimed NG.
"Such the defeatist. Just because you are supporting a family of 5 doesn't mean everything is pointless. Think of the posibilities that..."
"No, really think about it. Do you really think that a company that is barely able to scrape together 50 thousand people a day to play on their one game, to play another?"
"I did think about that, but you are missing one thing. Different genres."
"What? What else could CCP do that isnt an open universe space sim?"
"A first person shooter." NG laughed at SDK for his suggestion. "Why are you laughing? I think that we should seriously give it a shot! Especially since it will take place in New Eden."
"Ah huh, so now I have to worry about some stupid, nose picking mercs that know nothing about what the EVE Universe is?"
"You will now. I am going to give it a shot, and if you want to as well, feel free to use my account. You wont lose anything for trying would you?" NG was silent for a little while. "Are you there NG? Did you die from laughter?"
"I dont think you understand what I am telling you. DUST will fail, because if there is one thing I know, people, sorry, players, are not patient. They wont wait for skills, they definately wont wait for money in game, and I think you will find it hard to do anything in that game that feels remotely like a well put together game."
"We will see. SDK Out." SDK docked at the trade hub and off loaded his cargo, then went for a rest.

I have a story like that I used to hate dust and I would go on and off but now I have started to improve my k/d by a lot

I picked up Dust near the end of Beta, and it only took getting killed by a heavy once or twice for me to realize that was my true calling. Heavies were incredibly OP at the time, and after putting in 600k SP to my heavy, I was able to leave the academy with an 11/1 KDR. however that soon plummeted as I was introduced to real matches. Shortly after, Vice Galloza recruited me the same game he met me, blown away by my charm and good looks.

The following 6 or 7 months were a lot of fun in the phoenix, I had earned my way up to a Director at the time and we were fighting huge wars consistantly. We put billions of isk into the FUCK EON coalition, and though it was probably the biggest and roughest war that has ever happened on dust, we took those Teamplayers bastards off the map, so it was worth it.

Towards the end of September our old leader got caught up in some shady business that he was keeping from everyone else, and rather than deal with it in the corp, he just left and started something new, and that's when things started to get rough in the Phx Fed for a while. Being that he was our leader at the time a fair amount of his friends followed and we were left with only the most loyal of players.
It was at this time we knew the corp needed to live or die in the hands of a new CEO, and called upon the entire corp to vote.

I took over the corp end of October and we've been doing everything we can do make it prosper. With an entirely new leadership tier, and the opportunity to learn from a previous leaders mistakes, we were on the right track and started on a healthy corp progression.
Fast forward to now and we've grown to be a larger corp than we ever were before, were very active both in pub matches and in PC battles, a great mix a veteran players and high potential new players, strong leaders and a rebuilt reputation throughout the game.

Who's ready to see how high we can build it from here?

Part 3: good ol' days

Illuminati soldier, Ricky bobby98, dragon Gil, tylnn jade, enlightened queen, tenkai nankobu, kobalt kilo, saphira draco, the desired angel, charactus black, aquilus San gimagno, rei sver, stonney mallony, and sergeant reiland.

All of the people i can still remember from my first corp. Its been over a year and I can still recall their personalities, the long nights we spent chatting rather than fighting. We fought together, complained together, won together, and lost together.

The corp had a ranking system to decide who would run squad. I managed to make it to captain after about a month. I considered this such a great accomplishment that whenever I logged in I always said "its everyone's favorite captain.... zor-el dantnick!!!!" I kinda still do that now because of that.

I would say that my 4 best friends from the corp was Ricky, dragon, tenkai, and tylnn. We sorta created our own little circle within the corp. We always squadded together, stayed up late talking together, and had each others back.

Aside from that, we were the remnants from those days. The last one's who stuck together, even when the corp was gone.

Part 5: wayward soul

Following the destruction of the illuminaten orden, me and my fellow dustees were cast out with nowhere to go. I, refusing to accept this, tried to rally as many of the ex-members into a chat I personally titled "remnants". However, most of the members quit dust for various reasons. The inevitable rift had already formed. As we went our separate ways, we used the chat as a common ground. My first corp I travelled to was l.o.t.i.s. they were fairly laid back, but I felt unwanted there. At the time, I was still terrible at the game and held no significant value as a player. I was recommended by tenkai nankobu, a former illuminaten orden member, to join red star Jr with her. After extreme hesitation (I despised all big corps at the time) I joined. This was a few hours after I decided to try out the amarr HMG #Alegendisborn

To be continued

part 6 A new saga: red star
New friends, rivals, enemies, and...love interests?? Jk, lol

My red star jr days could easily be compared to a boot camp. The social hierarchy was simple; Red star jr recruits were less than dirt, and the actual red star members were the equivalent of gods. At the top of this pyramid was Eugene killmore, the guy you didn't fuck with because he signs your paycheck. For the record, I will simply refer to red star jr members as Jr's.

We Jr's didn't get a paycheck because it was considered a privilege to be there. It was in my first days that I made my first impression, and enemy. Sentient archon, a true believer of the red star social hierarchy, and red star member. I randomly invited him to a squad of former illuminaten members. After one battle, he immediately left and said in the red star/Jr pub chat, "if I ever wanted to get to be as good as him, I'd have to stop hanging out with that trash." I promptly cussed him out for everyone to see. From that Moment, I was infamous amongst red star, and famous amongst the Jr's, as the guy who pissed off archon.

Following that event, I was completely shunned by red star members. Only the Jr's would ever pick me up. Amongst these Jr's, the death trio was formed. Our play styles and personalities complemented one another to the point that we were considered the strongest team amongst the Jr's, capable of going toe to toe with a small squad of red star members. Us three, consisting of three caldari assaults with assault rifles, were considered legend. Calikid, the arrogant and hot headed leader, would charge into battle, followed by me, his equally hot headed support. Beside me would be hazyeyez, the calm brains of the group. We were like goddamn power rangers.

Us three are still friends today. It is our long running joke that if we reunited the death trio today, we could probably win a PC alone. Weirdly enough, circumstances always prevent us three from squadding up together. Almost as if ccp fears what we could do, what we would accomplish, and how many careers we ruin.
To be continued...

P.S. my little "love interests" joke was because tenkai nankobu, who fire2myblunt claims is my girlfriend, was the one who originally told me to join red star jr with her. And the other girl was code slucid, one of the best logi's in eon. She'll be mentioned in my next post. Whenever I get around to it...
