Dear Diary,
It was an evening like any other - quiet and uneventful. No activity in the minerbumping channel, so I opened the Recruitment channel and began my investigations...
Alana Charen-Teng > want to join elite mining corpAnd so on. I threw in a few apps to random mining corps - one was immediately accepted! No interview, no api requested, nothing. Swiftshaw had accepted my app, and I was now a proud new member of The Unbrella Corporation. Time to begin my patrol.
Rock Jezebel > what is an elite mining corp?
Alana Charen-Teng > Rock Jezebel well it's like a mining corp.. except elite
Timomantis Nabali > ^^ this guy
Torei Dutalis > Discrimination amonst miners, who would have guessed.
Rock Jezebel > What qualities seperate a mining corp from an elite mining corp?
Alana Charen-Teng > Rock Jezebel What qualities separate a pvp corp from an elite pvp corp?
Rock Jezebel > The only thing that seperates mining corps in my mind is how fun the people are to BS with. Other than that...it's just boosts.
Alana Charen-Teng > nothing gets your adrenaline pumping and your muscles twitching like that
> you know that feeling when you're about to jump into an enemy gang? well it's like that but 1000x better
> when your fleet is about to jump into a full ore belt
Swiftshaw > how many people do you need to be classed as an elite mining corp?
Alana Charen-Teng > Swiftshaw it's not about having lots of ppl.. it's about how good they are
> just like there are elite pvp corps with only a handful of ppl
> the question is.. how many spacerocks can you take on
Opening the Star Map (can't wait for the new one coming in Rhea!), I noted that he was undocked in Paye. In fact, he told me as much in chat, so finding him was no great feat. I headed over in my Worm - my scout moved ahead. He was defiantly mining in an ore anomaly with a mackinaw, no permit in sight. As the only New Order Agent in the vicinity, it was my sworn duty to put this criminal miner to justice. I attacked!
Kill: Swiftshaw (Mackinaw)
Kill: Swiftshaw (Capsule)
After several harrowing moments of Elite PvP, I emerged victorious. Now that we had introduced ourselves, we settled in to discuss philososphy...
(The following is an email exchange)

But unfortunately, dear readers, our goofus declined my invitation to engage me in a second round of elite pvp. He logged off, and I claimed another victory for the New Order of Highsec.
