The Inaugural EVEHermit Competition
February 2, 2013 § 28 Comments
In recognition of my 2 years of EVE blogging, and the imminent creation of my own Alliance, I am going to run a small competition.
On offer – your choice of one of
. My favorite fit PVE Retribution
. My preferred fit Exploration Buzzard
. A T2 passive tanked PVE Osprey Navy Issue
The value of each works out very roughly at a bit over 50M. It will be delivered anywhere in Empire (no islands please), contracted by my main, from my Alt Corp in its new Alliance. Knowledge you can choose to ignore or grief, or whatever takes your fancy.
(Note the fits of the Buzzard and Retribution will probably require fairly well trained pilots. You might need to downgrade some items to T1, or go for the Osprey if your SP levels are low. I give no guarantee that you won’t be laughed at if killed flying these fits.)
The competition part? Come up with a suggestion for my new Alliance name. Truth be told I already have something suitably lame worked out, but I am certainly open to suggestions. I will select the most suited for a Risk Adverse Carebear EVE Hermit, or which make me laugh, and randomly pick one of them. The competition winner will be announced and prize delivered some time next weekend (February 9/10th).
(I am mindful this could end up resulting in the embarrassing sound of crickets – so I am relying on some of the regular posters to at least throw me a life line.

Stairway to Hermit
Here’s your alliance logo: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/1-blog-pics/led-zeppelin.jpg
Don’t ask me why, it just immediately jumped to my head.
Interestingly you need at least 500 members (from memory) before you can apply for an Alliance Logo. Pretty sure the wife might kick up a fuss if I created 164 extra accounts… I like the suggestion though.
Will The Hermitage do?
I like that alot – but found there were already two corporations with that name. Probably a bit rude to pinch the Alliance name.
Thank goodness, at least two people in with a chance to win.
That will teach me for not checking first. Prefer you send the ship to another more deserving soul anyways
The name doesn’t have to be available – just half way appropriate. Deserving soul is also not a requirement.
“Hermits United”
I was trying to think up some twists around a Hermit having Corporation, let alone an Alliance
I have to admit that this name comes from Doctor Who so is not original to me.
Eminent Domain, sounds fearsome, but really just means you pay for what you take without asking!
Hermit Social Club
The Social Butterflies
Single Hermits Alone Together – “About a Boy” reference
How many entries are allowed? Some might be more appropriate names for a corporation than an alliance… To be honest, it was just fun to come up with some ideas – not really in it for the prize as I do not play much
Our Lady the Garden Enclosed? XD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_the_Garden_Enclosed
Name: Herman’s Hermits
By line: Who the hell’s Herman?
Theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxDh2sYQRpo
The Hermits of Eve.
The Eremites
Paguroidea (Hermit Crab) – or if you are left-handed Diogenidae (Left-Handed Hermit Crab!)
THS – “The Hermit Society”
HERetic MInded Trust
Hermetically Sealed [FRESH]
Heh, was planning on entering but there’s no way I’m beating this *applause*
As much as I’ve liked my own suggestion input I actually also really like this name and Ticker.
A quick prodding of the thesaurus at lunchtime :
Reclusion Assemblage
“The Hermitage Society”
“The Hermit Concortium”
“The Hermitage Consortium”
“Hermit Consortium Society” or “The Hermitage Consortium Society”
My Alliance is OOE – Orphans of EVE so “Hermits of EVE” could work if it’s not taken. Will give credit to the other person above with a similar name but had “The” in front of it.
Christopher McCandless Appreciation Society
Had to look that one up. It doesn’t seem cheerful enough.
Adeptus Hermetica
“Hermitical Hermonics” (HARM)
I was thinking along your lines too – Recursive Harmonics. Or perhaps Boundary Entanglement… Wavefront Enclosure… idk… brain melting….
====================
No more entries accepted after this point. Winners and feedback should be posted later today. The deed has been done, and I don’t want to see some brilliant idea I wish I had used!
