The Diabolic Abstraction

Motto
----------
"A Prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules," Niccolo Machiavelli


Focus
-------------

Our motto is the statement of our focus and aspiration. War is our single study; our single ambition. Evaluating, planning, executing and realizing our political ambitions using violent warfare is our purpose and intent. The Diabolic Abstraction is a pure military corporation with streamlined leadership, experienced fleet commanders and tested, competent pilots. We have the skills, experience and technology to take on many battles being outnumbered.

History
---------

Castagan and General Forest founded DBLCA after leaving deep space dissatisfied with the tactics, pilots and leaders in the 0.0 cartels. In 0.0 you spend more time with industry logistics, polishing starbases, listening to pilots whine and then watch them become bold when a 50 man fleet forms to counter a 5 man threat. We decided that pvp/military power rules EVE so our focus became 100% apolitical, Machiavellian combat.

Principles
----------

The Diabolic Abstraction has simple principles to appeal to every pvp combat character.

- 100% Combat Focus
- Mature Pilots
- Focus Individual Achievement
- NO POLITICS
- Apolitical (no blue list)
- Open finances (viewable to all)
- Open decision making (Open meetings)
- Ventrilo
- Forums

Hiring Philosophy

Voice communications are required and they are good natured and reasonably clean. Our pilots are typically aged 25 to 45 with most in their 30's. Player skill points range from 12M to 60M with the average being 20+ Million. Maturity, family and career focus are key personal goals for our members so we constantly balance real life with the game. By design our personnel expansion is slow and steady, we will not sacrifice effectiveness for raw numbers. Our recruitment will continue so long as we keep the core commitment foremost in our minds. We have always operated with the highest levels of maturity, respect and reason. Those values will continue and are non-negotiable. We are only keeping pilots that fit into our core philosophy.

Your Decision
------------

Abstraction is not the type of corporation that you see being bragged about in EON, nor will it ever hold 0.0, or deploy outposts. We have chosen a path far different but in our opinion far more rewarding. EVE is a pure pvp game and we enjoy it in it's simplest form. If your want a close knit team of competent pilots when we are for you. If you want to fight every day against anyone you wish, we are for you. If you want a team that has nothing to hide in it's wallet, in it's decisions then we are for you. If you want to learn combat, learn how to FC and be an equal partner with us with equal stakes in the corp then join us for a conversation in channel DBLCA.
