That's Dedication

Things have been going great with Black Sail and the alliance as a whole. I have to admit that I had some serious concerns a few months ago that a fail cascade was imminent. We were on horrible terms with everyone in our home system. One corp had just left our alliance and appeared on the verge of joining up with our reds. Our enemies seemed to have the skills and numbers to make us miserable and the kb/activity level was proof that things were headed south.

So I called the move and we went to a new area. It was a rocky start and we lost several members and a few more went inactive. Luckily we got an infusion of new members to Gray Sail and our more experienced Black Sail members did a good job of learning the ins and outs of our new home. We got whipped a few times before we got a feel for our new enemies but the dynamics of the area favored us.

Now things have done a complete 180 from before. Every night shows a large number of pilots logged in. We have a very very high retention rate and our killboard is rocking. Most importantly, people seem to be having a lot of fun when they are logged in. I think this adversity had caused us to bond and we are now working very well together. If you are reading this and you are looking for a fun laid back pirate corp, you may want to check us out. We roam. We gate camp. We do high sec suicide ganks. We make strange homo-erotic comments to each other in vent. It's a blast!

How do I know morale is high? Because one of our members got our corp symbol cut into his hair.
At least that is what he tells me is it. It could also be a hockey mask with wings. Either way, that's dedication! Now if I can just convince everyone to get Black Sail tattoos...
