Maj3stic~SPARTA~ Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I and others are wondering why LOSC was totally disbanded? I have been out of the loop for a bit with work, did I miss something? Was their a collective agreement to do this? Did I miss out on the debate? Was notification giving to the members of SPARTA before the disbandment? LOSC no mater how dysfunctional it had become still had a collective history with SPARTA, some consideration might have been warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOSC no mater how dysfunctional it had become still had a collective history with SPARTA, some consideration might have been warranted. I don't know the thought process that lead to the decision and nor do I have any part of it other than having been a member of LOSC. As always, players of EVE jump from corp to corp frequently and this is part of the game. Now that LOSC has been disbanded the name and ticker are up for grabs again. Anyone can restart it.

Cylawyer~SPARTA~ Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I was one of the persons wondering about this as well. I just reactivated my account and boom, no corp. Was it just an automatic thing if all the members had temporarily suspended their accounts? Wasn't sure if Dr.No and Gunny had suspended theirs for a bit. If they did and they were the last active members, maybe it was an automatic thing? Inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoBoL~SPARTA~ Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 To fair to DrNo & Gunny they did a good job of keeping open for a few years to see if you guys would come back, if they decided to close it and move on it wasent without trying. I never bothred to come back as I was active in PVP corps. And LOSC was more of Ind and Mission running I think. So I guess if LOSC did shut, it's down to you guys not been active, and nobody else to blame really. But it can always be re-activated like Medic said.

DrNo~SPARTA~ Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Look what it took to get an interest in the corp lol. Ill explain. This may sound like Im ticked but im really not. No offense intended to anyone at all. Gunny and I have been maintaining LOSC for over two years. Very very rarely did anyone else show any interest at all and when they did it was ussually all about them and not the corp (there are about two exceptions to this). Good examples of this are the flack I got when I raised the tax from 5-8%. I couldnt belive the attitude. This is for the corp to pay bills not to bleed the toons dry. Now the corp was a cool place to text chat for sure but thats about all it was. Gunny and I hung out in the same area of space for about a year when we decided to branch out and help noobs and work our toons area of space according to race. In essence, we played alone and got used to it. We did develope some good relationships outside the corp in those times and we ended up going our own way much like Cobol, Viiper and others did. Thats the game and its a natural occurance. No big deal. But we still had a corp with 17 toons and only two that did anything. (4 if you count our alts) Recently another former member who plays regularly and I decided to go into a venture including Gunny if he wanted to and I pulled DrNoOne out of LOSC for that. Gunny wasnt in a position to participate at that time but has since decided to pull both toons out of LOSC and try the venture as well. So that left me by myself with 16 non active players. Then I started looking at why we have this corp. Its only there as a last hold onto a past that went bad with the war dec and all active players left to do thier own thing and all that was left was gunny and I, and a pack of no shows. That is also ok, that is how the game goes, no hard feelings at all. Looking at contributions to the LOSC corporate account, gunny and I put in hundreds and hundreds of hours and hundreds of millions of capital so I split it between us to help capitalize the new venture previously mentioned. I did pay back one toon who had donated a good sum for his experiance level first. Then we had one player who was doing all sorts of pvp in low sec under the LOSC banner which was not acceptable so I kicked him out. Then I got thinking some more about how I and everyone else needed a new start, we need to let go of this two year old dinosaur and the best way to do that was punt everyone out, resign, and close it down. So thats what I did. A- No collective agreement was neccesary. I made the decision. I was the CEO. The director ship never came to any meetings. A- There was no debate as I had no one to debate with. A- There was no notification. I thought about it but decided against it. If your going to load the gun, you might as well pull the trigger. A- Yes it did have a history but if it was so important you would think there would be some continued active collaboration. It was there for convinence and nothing else. At some time Id like to play the game for me and not 16 others. A- Warrented some consideration. I didnt get any. Not that its an excuse. A- No it wasnt an automatic thing. I did this on my own accord. A- If anyone wants to relaunch the LOSC hetitage, have at er, u dont need my permission. Although I'd suggest not holding onto a non existant past in a vitrual reality game. lol A bunch of you have already moved onto what I think youll find way more rewarding and stimulating game play. I hope this helps people understand, its not easy to put it in print. I have had mic issues and have not been on TS. Again, I really love you guys and respect all of you and please remember, its a game and people are going to play it thier way. this is very clear to me as everyone did play it thier way and I ve fell extremly alone in the eve universe. Mayby now we can start having even more fun. If I ticked anyone off I applogise. Fly safe and hope to share a docking station some day. Even though everyone is galaxies apart I know that if the call went out, we would all come to the aid of any of our Sparta membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
