OPEN AGAIN! - Independent Miners Guild Recruitment channel

**** Incoming transmission ****
From: Johnathan Sanders
To: New guild members
Subject: Acceptances and inquiries

Gentlemen and women,

A few welcomes, one tentative and one polite decline this time.

First off, ICMG member. I am afraid you did not include a return transponder or a name in your application. While I do not see any reason why we would turn you away, it's hard to properly address and welcome you without knowing your name and ship designation. It'll be good to have a veteran joining us however.

Ravenolle, while we welcome the Ridge's presence in the Tau systems, it is not the Guild's direction to seek large numbers of capital ships among our ranks. Battlecruisers and Carriers simply do not have the freedom of movement the main Guild has, and their presence at the edges of house space tends to annoy their respective governments. That said, I have received good reports on your support in the Tau systems. If you wish to seek a more active role in the Tau system security, perhaps you could link up with the Colonial Republic's forces, as they frequently run combat sorties. Carrier support in the rear, for them, could be highly effective.
But I must regretfully inform you that this will not be under the core guild's banner.

Mr. Lennox, given the recent developments in terms of mining, Sirius-wide, our fleet tends to be highly mobile these days. We basically go where there is work to be done. If you feel you are up to that challenge and enjoy working in a group, then I do not see an issue with you joining us. I will however remind you that strict adherence to the Laws of Sirius is a requirement for continued membership.

Miss Sanders, given mr. Henderson's recommendation I see no reason not to accept your application. An extra hand in the field is always welcome, given how chaotic Sirius tends to be. Mr. Henderson should have the most up-to-date situation in the field, so I hope you won't mind me directing you to him, once his situation has improved. As a member of the Guild, you are free to acquire a variety of fighters and bombers, including the popular Nyx and Pytho crafts.

Mr. Cathal, your understanding of the Guild is largely correct. In our "corporation", the members come before the profits. While that puts us at a disadvantage in terms of direct competition with the larger house corporations, and in terms of productivity, it does carry advantages to worker morale, and to a better standing with certain radical factions who have ended up rebelling against the house governments. I really only have one thing left to ask of you: What role do you see for yourself within the Guild? Do you wish to return to your roots as a transport pilot, or do you prefer another role?
// No skype is not a problem, but you'll likely miss out on the latest newsflashes.

Mr. Green, it appears you have seriously impressed some of our folk in the field. Given that they see quite a lot, that is a feat in and of itself. Mr. Henderson is improving, but he did leave a very good reference for you, and I therefor see no issue with your joining. That you are a bit brief in your application is fine - you have proven your intent in the field.


To signify your vessels as Guild ships, please apply the IMG| transponder to your vessel's name. The division suffix ([M] for mining, [E] for exploration, [D] for defense and [T] for trade) is optional - keep in mind that the [M] and [T] tags tend to attract unwanted attention if you intend to operate alone. I recommend you read our latest operational report to familiarise yourself with our current politics, and the state of our operations Sirius-wide.
The Guild would also appreciate it if you, once you have brought your ships under Guild transponder, register them in the roster, so we know who's who.
Good luck in your ventures in the Guild.

Signed,
- Johnathan Sanders, on behalf of the Independant Miners Guild.
