♥1♥ What is your timezone, primary language and approximately how many hours of Eve do you play per week? Tell us a little about your real life, your age, occupation etc.
US - CST. English. My hours vary but I'm usually active 00:00 to 04:00 Eve Time several times per week. Professionally, I've been a Database Developer/Administrator for the last 15 years.
♥2♥ What are your feelings about Taylor Swift? Which Taylor Swift song inspires you the most and why?
She's nice to look at and I find swift sniping most entertaining. I wouldn't recognize a Swift song unless it was played at the top of a SHC thread.
♥3♥ Do you approve of scamming people in Eve? Have you ever done so? Do you think it’s okay not to honour ransoms?
I approve, it is part of the game. I have never scammed anyone, for me it just doesn't seem worth the work. I don't ask for ransoms. If I have a point on a target my goal is to make it assplode. I wouldn't pay a ransom and I wouldn't expect someone who offers it to honor it. If I were to ransom a pilot, I would honor it.
♥4♥ Do you approve of metagaming/spying in Eve? Have ever you done so or had it done to you? Do you have any useful spy alts? PM details about them to Elise Randolph.
I definitely approve. My personal metagaming and spying activities are very limited. I do not have any spy alts. I do have a few noob corp scout alts in systems that I like to scout without showing my alliance ticker.
♥5♥ List all your Eve characters along with skillsheets. Note your main, skillpoints of each character, specializations and how long you’ve had each character. Private message full API keys of all characters/accounts to Elise Randolph.
Ford Chicago - 76M sp, Gallente/Caldari pilot, Gallente Carrier/Dread, Fighters V, all types of Capital Remote Rep IV, I have been the only owner of this account (4.5 years). I consider this my main because it was the first account I created, but I tend to have more day to day use on my alt.

Brominder - 67M sp, Amarr/Minmatar pilot, all Amarr/Minmatar sub capitals. Amarr/Minmatar Frigate/Cruiser/Battleship V, Battlecruisers V, HAC V, Interdictors V, Logistics V, Recon V. I have Mining Barge V too as I spent the first few months thinking this was going to be an industrial alt. :-) I have been the only owner of Brominder (4 years)

♥6♥ What ships can you pilot and what ships do you like? What is your play style? Do you have any FC experience? If so, on what scale. What other roles are you familiar with in gang.
Between my two characters, I cover all races and all sizes and types of ships. I have a ship for any type of gang from bombers to capitals. I have the most fun in mid-sized ships like HACs, Battlecruisers and Logistics. I consider myself an excellent logistics pilot and enjoy that role in gangs. I enjoy RR BS slug fests and Herd Domis (Sentry/Remote Cap/Remote Armor).
♥7♥ Do you have an independent way to make income? Do you pay for Eve with plex or RL money?
I have a decent income stream between contract whoring, playing the market, research agents and a bit of invention. I usually pay with PLEXes these days just because I can.
♥8♥ How long have you been playing Eve? Tell us a little about your Eve history, greatest achievements, your favorite fights/kills, previous corporations/alliances, and any past friendly or unfriendly relationships you’ve had with us.
I've been playing for 4.5 years. Оnе of my favorite fights was jumping half a dozen scorpions (pre ecm nerf) into a hostile group of 25 sitting on our in gate and emerging with 20 odd kills and 0 losses. I had a ton of fun on Cry Havoc armor HAC roams engaging while significantly outnumbered. I prefer medium gang warfare in the 20-25 pilot range as there are enough people to engage larger groups if you are using superior tactics and fits‚ but it is small enough to move quickly and nimbly and not lag out a system. I am not enthused by massive fleet warfare given the state of lag in Eve.
I have only been in two corporations in my Eve Career, Einherjar Rising and Оmеga Enterprises. In both cases‚ an overall player activity decline was the cause of me deciding to leave the corporation.
♥9♥ List any relevant killboard links to all your PvP characters, and explanations of any significant losses.
I don't have any particularly significant losses. The cry havoc board will show that I have not been particularly active recently which was at first due to some real life responsibilities and then to the lack of active pilots in my corp/alliance. I don't think I will ever be a daily Eve player again as there are simply other obligations in my life, but I'm happy to show up for scheduled activities and was generally very active in my prior corp.

♥10♥ Why do you want to join us? Where did you hear about us? List any references or vouches in HABIT or PL (MAKE SURE you’ve talked to them first before posting here).
Several other members of Einherjar Rising that I enjoyed flying with recently departed in order to join Habit as Cry Havoc was winding down. I'd like to continue to fly with them and return to being in a corp with active PVP pilots.

♥17♥ While roaming, you find a Drake in a belt and engage it (you decide what ship(s) you’re roaming in, and give us the setups here too). Half way through the fight, while the Drake has you warp disrupted, a Basilisk uncloaks. What do you do?
Get a point on the Basilisk, it is a higher value target. Destroy them both.
♥18♥ You are roaming with an alliance member, both of you in vagabonds, and spot a lone Drake on a gate in an empty system. What do you do?
Оbvious bait is obvious, but vagas should bе able to control the engagement and gtfo if a hostile gang immediately jumps in. If it is our out gate‚ have one pilot jump through to scout while the other vaga points and aggresses the drake. The key here to to either bump the drake off the gate so it can't jump and make sure that one pilot will be able to jump through if the drake decides to jump.
♥19♥ You are solo roaming in a Vagabond and jump into a gate camp with some interceptors and Arazus. How do you survive, if possible?
The best option will likely be to wait out your session change timer and mwd back to the gate and jump through.
♥20♥ You are with a friend, both of you in supercarriers, in low-sec killing a small offline tower. Suddenly, a falcon uncloaks and 50 roleplayers bridge in on top of both of you with eight HICs and 50k dps worth of ships. How do you survive?
Light the cyno and titan bridge the rest of the fleet in. Wait, you mean we weren't bait? Then, broadcast the situation in alliance chat. Get to work killing the HICs.
♥21♥ You are with a friend, both of you in scrubby battlecruisers (e.g. Hurricanes or Harbingers) with weak tanks, in low sec. A Tempest aggros you under sentry fire and neutralizes all your cap, but you are able to MWD away out to 30km after taking a lot of damage. Do you leave your friend to die?
I'm in a hurricane, I don't need cap to fire. I'm assuming we are wandering around low sec in scrubby battlecruisers because we wanted a fight. We overheat our guns and destroy the tempest. Losing one, or both, ships in this situation is pretty much expected as soon as you undock.
♥22♥ You are in Оld Man Star and havе intel of a Nyx warping around. Describe the steps you would take to find the Nyx.
It will take a concentrated effort to bring down a supercap‚ so it is important to notify alliance and get as much backup ready (titan bridge) as available. If possible, get the Nyx to come to you by providing juicy bait in a belt or on a gate. It is unlikely that you will be able to catch the Nyx on this occasion, but noting the pilot, time zone, corp info, available PОSеs or cyno locations that the Nyx is using can be used to bait and kill the Nyx at a later date.
