    Perhaps the most uninformative vid I've ever seen…

    And are we still expected to believe these guys are noobies? Not just new toons?

    • TRONGLE

      Have you seen any vids of their ops. Its pretty clear they are newbies. No comms discipline, hilarious beginner mistakes and so on. I believe them that they are newbies, and think its awesome they are giving it a go.

  • joe

    Would have to say these aren't new people I have never seen new people go all out into pvp and especially having around 1000 members out of the blue.

    • TRONGLE

      You must be new to this game then. My first PVP fleet was 1 week into the game tackiling a dude called "swaffers" dreadnaught in syndicate back when dreadnaughts where rarer than titans are now. There was about 100 of us, most under a month old.

      • Slade McDeath

        If you could see our Corp Chat you'd know, it's like rookie help, but with more KMs, well LMs lol

  • O-O
  • DubbaYooArr

    i have lost my 'respect' for Brave Newbies considering they are all alts and even have some very old characters. Just another blob :/

    • Jesus Loves You

      Its PL / TEST alts – they ran out of people to shoot in 0.0 because of: blue donut, so they came up with something "new"….

      • Loves Being Podded

        You give us way too much credit lol

    • Genii

      Wrong!

      Older players have joined. They got bored with their corps and joined us.

      We don't care!

    • 1BraveNewb

      I played for a year in 2008 with only one character on one profile doing only pve missions with IRL friends…how is that an alt? A large portion of us are real newbs, whether alts or not, getting our feet wet in various aspects of play

  • DubbaYooArr

    Stop giving the goons so much attention

    • TRONGLE

      Not goons, reddit.

      • Falwin

        It's clearly all CCP alts, WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

        • Slade McDeath

          I thought we were Russian Bots

          • Jesus

            no you are Chinese Slave Zombie Bloomberg hacker noobs

  • makalu cries alright

    Look at KB….its mainly red. http://evemaps.dotlan.net/corp/Brave_Newbies_Inc…. I'm sure they are new.

    • cheese cake

      average reddit/Test players is that dumb in 0.0 too. No news.

  • Barkaway

    Yeah i dont believe it either, no corp gets over 1K members in such a short time unless its an alt corp..

    • BCBUDDHA

      they used reddit to attract new members

      • Barkaway

        doesnt matter, getting that much membersi in that short amount of time is not gonna happen unless they are alts of some other ppl..

        • Karaka

          It was timing, it happened right after the battle of askasai and /r/eve was the featured subreddit. I saw them making it, it definitely started organically and now a lot of more experienced players are joining just since its something very unique.

        • TRONGLE

          No I'm not surprised, we clocked a few hundred new members in a few days of new members in goonfleet a few years back and thats a website only a fraction of the size of reddit. You'd be surprised how effective out-of-game newbie recruiting can be.

        • Rickid

          Dude you keep saying that but you obviously don't have a clue. I remember when the first post went up on reddit. It was just Matias talking about getting a corp of noobs together to learn how to better survive in eve and so on. There was a ton of interest at that point because of that huge battle in asakai, or whatever system it's called, and a huge amount of people that didn't play eve read about the battle and got trial accounts and a day or so afterwords matias' post went up and that was an outlet for a lot of clueless noobs to connect with.

        • 1BraveNewb

          You fail to realize that our corp is also flooded with spies and expiring trial accounts. The eve subreddit has thousands of followers. Since the 2800 ship battle story bni exploded. Don't be bitter 7o

  • Mizantrop

    Just bunch of attention whores ,blob in high sec …….

  • Cheese

    CCP run, alliance backed BS.

    • Cheese cake

      /signed.
      That is how CCP runs the game now: make guerilla ad on reddit. Run alliance and corp with GMs/Test alts. Rest, who are not in the blob, are just stupid targets, who get blobbed. they could sell this game to reddit. It would be more honest.

      • aaah how cute

        Sound a little butthurt.

        Where did the bad PvP-ers touch you?

        • Cheese Cake

          you one of the usual retards. How often did I read this kind of answer in Eve forums to someone? They did not touch me anywhere, they too bad to do that. But I have eyes and see the blob and I am sry, but I am too smart to be the meatshield or feed for reddit fun activities. So yes, I stopped playing Eve. I have better things to do than waste my time with retarded Americans, who give answers like yours. It just became too boring to wait until the blob is small enough to engage or bash some stupid noobs.

  • BntyHunter

    Maybe the Goons are finally trying to learn how to fight without ruining there KB

    • Valorfist

      Or maybe TEST, Test for sure they need all the fun now being cockblocked by papa PL.

      PS. BURN

  • Vicis

    Wow you're all so mad.

    I've been playing EVE for a month and I decided I'd join these guys.
    Why?

    Because just about every other corporation is full of stuck up tools that get proportionally more stuck relative to the size of their wallet and the amount of 0's their skill points have.

    Our fleet organization goes something like this
    "Hey, anyone wanna go pew pew some stuff?"
    "YOLO"
    Half way to our destination – "Oh, did anyone bring salvagers or warp jammers?"

    With 1000 plus members we're bound to have some alts but the majority of other people are like me… New players that were attracted to a corporation where they be new players and still have fun without writing a 10 page application and getting yelled at by 4 different guys in the chain of command.

    • Markethopper

      Kudos to you and welcome to EVE!!! From what I have gathered about this corp, it has a very experienced FC, some very fun involvement with the roams and WT's, and many strong ties to reddit and TEST (or should I just say reddit altogether?).

      All I would like to say is: You go, capsuleer!! This is a great method of getting into some action without having to learn the small corp concept of "think before you act" and I am all for it. I believe this will definitely retain new players into Eve space and make a huge change in the shape of the game to come.

    • The_Oracle86

      yolo?!…….YOLO?! GTFO OUT OF EVE RIGHT NOW!!!

    • Barkaway

      Well thats all fine and all, but as ive said before, no matter how good you are at doing stuff, you dont gather almost 1300 ppl in that short amount of time in eve, unless most of them are alts..
      Welcome to eve..

      • Vicis

        There are 5000 people in the rookie help channel any time I'm on. I see 300+ people in the rookie systems doing the tutorial missions whenever I drop by.

        I don't think it's that crazy of a concept.

    • Funnyguy

      How would a month old guy know about 10 page apllications and getting yelled by 4 different guys in chain of command in other corps.. Just saying trololololo

      • Vicis

        Well, the 10 page application was an exaggeration. I did spend a good 2 hours on my EVE-U application which was ridiculous. I've written essays in less time.

        The whole chain of command thing I gathered from reading the policies of a few of the big corps.

        It's crazy, I like, totally used my brain, or something. I must be apart of the minority in EVE judging by most of the posts here.

    • dreamer.

      First off i think new alliances like this is good.
      players need to learn the rops the hard way.

      I still remember my Ceo of my corp telling me when i moved out to null.
      -Stick to frigates fly them for a year lose them and have fun. once that year is past you will not do stupid things and you will not lose something expensive (not that i care but you might care).

      the first roam i went on was in a Cruiser and surely enough i was falling behind and then one suddley he told us to get our ass to a specific system asap since there was a bigger brawl there.. i lagged behind and got pea shot by a gatecamp. did i learn anything Yes did i lose something expensive .. not realy 50m was peanuts for me back then and still is. still if it had been a 5m rifter it would have been better for me.

      I am one of the few saying a fleet of rifter can and will deal massive pain to enemy especialy if they enter fight mid fight. for example T3 ships getting webbed/ Scramed will die very fast. and you can buy 100 rifters (fitted) for the cost of 1 T3 ship (aprox)

  • The_Oracle86

    When the first article came out bout these guys, i was impressed. After seeing this and digging a little deeper the characteristics of this corp just doesnt seem as legit as they propose. I'm not sure whether to admire these guys or pass them off as another unrespectable test blob thats trying to make out they're something they're not.

    • Karaka

      A lot of older players have joined them for fun, but it started when /r/eve was the featured subreddit after the battle of asakai, so interest was huge. I offer buddy invites in the trial thread there, and people were asking for them constantly. It's definitely got a ton of noobs in it.

      • niceguy

        Nice move. Get a lot of free game time for that?

        • http://twitter.com/DheeradjS @DheeradjS

          I'm up to 6 subbed invites since Asakai.

    • Draleth

      I stopped playing in 2007, reactivated to join in the fun. (Still sub-10M SP) FUN was something that I found missing from EVE back in the day. ("If I wanted to run a corporation, I'd bloody well run one in real life.") Blobbing or not, roaming through lowsec/nullsec with a gang in frigates, with the full expectation of dying a glorious death and taking the pod express back is hilarious fun. And good fleet ops practice. The problem I see with everyone who is suspicious of the "legitimacy" of BNI, or motives of BNI is that they really just don't get it. None of that BS matters at all; you still seem to have non-zero fucks to give. We have none! It's just a damn game, and we're running out of places to hide the butthurt str8-player tear buckets. 7o

  • Da Dom

    Glad these guys have found their play style and are experimenting with their form.

    There is more to EVE than being a big target though…

  • Barkaway

    IMO its one of the big coalitions who have started this, because they dont have anyone left to fight unless they want to start something major and do alot of sov grinding, this way they can have fun and get new members aswell while doing it.

    • Bob

      Don't care.
      Having fun!
      7o

    • Genii

      Everyone says that. They're adorable.

  • I like feets

    The average server manager are able to set up about 2000 or more email adresses. So it's no problem to get over 1000 alts in a short period of time. Just have no life and make accounts. No magic here.

  • Humble_miner

    These guys are no newbies in making "great" videos of flying in space.

  • init. Grunt

    so much buttclenching! Alts, newbs, bitter vets – who cares? Less QQ more PewPew pls

  • TRONGLE

    Can I make a suggestion to Brave Newbies: Keep out of the 0.0 coalition thing for the time being. I know reddit=dreddit etc etc, but speaking as a goon the most exciting time in our life was back when we where in syndicate and aligned with frigging NOBODY. Currently theres a bittervet corp called "bombers bar" that specializes in stealth bombers. They have no alegiences and just go about bombing *everyone*. As a result they are having a tonne of fun and are comletely sidestepping the mindnumbing politics and sov/logistics crap. Whilst your ships are still cheap and costs low, just have fun attacking anything that moves, and when your big enough to meaningfully contribute to 0.0 warfare THEN think about joining test or whatever. But for now, just enjoy murdering the world with frig blobs, because seriously, its a hell of a lot of fun doing that.

    • http://twitter.com/DheeradjS @DheeradjS

      Reddit = Dreddit? Where did you get your information?

      Reddit has no single group, Dreddit, FWeddit, and now Brave Newbies(Innitially rejects, because they were not active enough on Reddit) are just major groups that hail from us. There are also countless of smaller bands.

    • Matias

      Don't worry, Reddit is only medium for information. I just happened to create the corp recruiting through it. We are an independent entity bent on having fun and fucking shit up, no fucks given.

      0.0 may lie in the future but if we enter, we will be our own faction hell-bent on changing the political landscape of eve. For now, we sharpen our claws in endless lowsec roams, and fight off an endless stream of wardecs from every highsec carebear corp in EVE looking to pad their kill stats.

      In short, we're having a blast and learning the game.

  • How2TimeTravel?

    Im curious how a 39 day old toon has the corp management skills to run a 1360 member corporation.

    If we do some maths here..
    Corp management 5 (50 members) takes 6 days and 30 odd minutes to train
    Megacorp management 5 (+250 members, 300 total) takes 18days 1 hours and 50 odd minutes
    Empire control 5 (+1000 members, 1300 total) takes 30 days 3 hours and 10 odd minutes

    Now lets take into account we completely exclude the story that this was a 'random influx of members into a random corp' and assume that he trained to maximise his corp skills from the moment he first logged onto EVE, to train for a 1300 member corp takes 54 days, 5 hours and 30 odd minutes.

    +5 implants? still the training queue only reduces to 43 days, 4 hours, 43 odd minutes..

    As i write this, the corp stands at almost 1360 members, meaning he has also trained at least the first level of Sovereignty

    Now take into account this guy has pulled off the impossible (Time Travel), and also managed to buy himself almost 510mil ISK worth of skills without having anything but corp management skills..

    • Falwin

      From what I've heard the CEO handed the corp over to a player with much higher corp management skills when recruitment took off, that player expanded the corp member limit then handed it back.

      • http://www.facebook.com/alan.d.colon Alan D Colón

        Yes, this is exactly what happened. He even said it on the interview on the DoW podcast. he clearly said he thought 'well, maybe this guy might jack the corp and keep it but if that happens no big deal, the corp wasn't very large to begin with' (at the time it was something real small, 30 ppl? i forget) so it would be easy to start over but the guy who helped him out was genuine and he paid to max the corp out to 6000+ member limit or w/e the member limit was and then handed it back over. Just goes to show you, sometimes you trust someone in a situation where they could screw you over and you come out pleasantly surprised.

  • http://www.witwenmacher.net Seluss

    nag nag nag … join the corp and have some fun. 7o

    • Vicis

      I think I strayed into a right-wing conspiracy forums.
      No?

      Oh…..

  • Jesus Loves You

    This is where PL go now for ~elite pvp~. Because with all of 0.0 blue there is nobody left to fight.

  • Audinst Calderro

    Holy crap~, I have never seen a game make people so ridiculously paranoid. Most of the people are indeed, new players 6 months or less, or are players that are indy’s as a main, but want to learn pvp, and in an even smaller amount, people who know things about the game that like to help and enjoy the fun-time with noobies (noobs are ATLEAST 1 year, cmon lets be real) Until you reach around 10 mil SP, you’re a noob. Infact, I’m still a noob.

    *Flame-retardant activated*

    • Arlis

      I can not speak for everyone, but if you only saw corp chat. There are so many noob questions constantly flowing (I am one of them), you have to go to other chat channels to get some peace.

      • Audinst Calderro

        Considering I'm in the corp, I do know :P

  • Brave noob

    PL can totally stop dropping super caps on us. ;(

    I promise our thrasher fleets aren't going to hurt you that badly, we're still working on affording them.

  • Umad Bro

    ITT: Butthurt players who lost their billion isk ships to a swarm of 7-day old players. All that I have to say is:

    QQ moar, your tears fuel us. 7o

  • Bruce

    Just from the feel I get as a complete nub on mumble, corp & fleet chat: I think we might have 15-20% of guys who know their shit, 40% who is proud to know how to insta-undock and the rest who doesn't, but is happy to know where to press target and fire… YAY o/

  • laT

    LOL it's hilarious the extent of the paranoia.. Honestly join the BNI, you will learn within hours that the corp is infact made up mostly of newbs with a bunch of vets tagging along( me included)

  • Brave Noob

    It was tons of fun, but still, a bit overkill.

    On the plus side, I saw my first super cap in that fight.
