Short and to the point: I have resigned my directorship at Suddenly Ninjas and struck out to form a smaller, more mobile, more focused griefing corp, Honorless Internet Jerks.
Right now, I am the only member. Part of the reason for this is that I haven't advertised at all, and part of the reason is that I've made it clear that I won't be hiring any Ninja until December. This is to keep them from acting in a hasty manner, as well as giving me time to get some distance from Ninjas and figure out how exactly I'm going to structure this thing.
I consider myself to have left on excellent terms at a high point in the popularity and effectiveness of the corp. The war with Deadspace Society ended with at least five corps pounding on them until they lost over 40% of their membership. I am and will continue to be a friend of Suddenly Ninjas.
Why did I leave? In part it was because I had bitten off more than I could chew in the corp, and found myself working to ensure that everyone got along and had a good time so much that I missed the part where I was supposed to get along and have a good time. I want to play this game in a way that will "introduce PVP" to as many carebears as possible, and I believe that the best way to do that is to form a tight-knit small (no more than 20) group of dedicated, self-reliant griefers. I'll have more details eventually in the form of a recruitment post.
The other bloggers who post here will continue to post, regardless of their affiliation. They are my friends, and do not have to be corpmates to be able to share those great carebear tears.
If you're a friend of mine and are interested in joining (and are not a current member of Suddenly Ninjas) then I would love to talk to you. Otherwise, stay tuned for more tales of making missionrunners very sad.

Glad to hear that no dramaz went down with Suddenly Ninjas-that's never fun. I'll be playing EVE again in December once I get back from a semester abroad, so if/when you begin recruiting, I'd for sure be interested in joining. No prior experience in PVP other than floating around in low sec though. In any case, sounds like with a second go you'll know what to watch out for in terms of administrative stuff.
Hey Paul, I'm not interested in joining, but out of curiosity, how do you plan to introduce PVP to as many carebears as possible? Suicide gank them into oblivion? Flip their cans? Lure them into low-sec?
Khezual:
All this, and more!
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us '0 which is not a hashcash value.
Of course I won't ask to join right now, but I will most definately be watching for future info on your new corp. I seem to have more fun pewing and collecting tears than actually salvaging...so while either way I will have fun due to the nature of the beast...your new corp idea does sound intriguing!
Good luck, and fly jerkish!
I was thinking about applying for the hell of it, but then I read the "self-reliant griefers" part. And realized that I've never griefed somebody before. :( And my only experience with PVP is small gang, low-sec roams. (And almost strictly in T1 cruisers or T2 frigates.)
