- Bloodstone Industries is currently a 0.0% tax (tax-free) corporation. It is also the founding executor corporation of the B.S.I. alliance.
- We are NOT a Factional Warfare Corporation, nor will we ever be a Factional Warfare Corporation. If that is your thing, we're probably not the right corporation for you.
- We are a family (self-referred to as the Bloodstone Brethren), and, to be honest, if that's not your cup of tea or pint of beer, you probably will find your membership short-lived. We encourage a symbiotic respect and path of helping the growth of, not only the individual, but ultimately the Bloodstone Brethren as a whole (this extends to encompass our extended staff at Aberdeen Research Facilities and with intent to include our alliance members as well). Assistance for new members is a priority with Bloodstone Industries. In fact, it shouldn't have to be said, but we try not to assume that Freshcuts have highly trained skills like our more experienced members: If ever any one of our members is in need of skill training (or immediate combative) guidance then offer your knowledge and/or immediate capable assistance, if possible, to any member in need.
- We are, by nature, a non-aggressive corporation, however we are diversely trained and will take any secure measure to protect and defend ourselves, our mates, our property and our stations if/when necessary.
- Bloodstone Industries is purportedly one of the largest, singular, rotationally-stocked and self-sustained markets in The Forge region manufacturing over 200 regular (and continually stocked) items, including Tech II, Capital ship modules and Capital construction components. As we are a "relaxed" corporation, reliant on self, as well as, group-oriented work ethics, we take great pride in the quality of our determination and group-oriented work integral to maintaining our marketable products and accomplishments at our main market "hub", located in the Saisio system: The Bloodstone Market. We ask that all members who decide to independently explore personal manufacturing, economic and selling avenues to not place any sell orders OF BLOODSTONE MARKET-STOCKED/MANUFACTURED ITEMS in the only location of The Bloodstone Market: Saisio VII - Moon 1 - Peace and Order Unit Testing Facilities station, nor replicate Bloodstone Industries' economic selling strategies and trademarks (price competing amounts), as these actions naturally conflict with the entire Bloodstone Marketing goals - and are grounds for dismissal. (It basicly is akin to taking away opportunities and mutual, future benefits for everyone, not only in Bloodstone Industries, but also every member in the B.S.I. alliance.)
- As of 2010.8.1, all members should maintain (and/or improve up to, if needed) a 1.50 Caldari State faction standing (or higher, obviously). Please work on continuing to improve this as our hiring ratio increases.
- If you choose to help in our Bloodstone Industries Market, such as mining, salvage, or transportation contributions, you will receive a paycheck weekly based on our end-of-week profit amount. Please relay how you contributed by leaving a "drop note": a corp mail letting everyone know the amount of materials, transport, mining help, etc to assist in proper compensation.
- Breaking ANY confidentiality of our purchasing customers, clients, and/or our own corporation's internal affairs is grounds for immediate expulsion.
- When a member submits a farewell/letter-with-intent-of resignation, or states an intention of looking for another corporation to join (a statement of intent), they have 24-48 hours to leave the corporation. More than 48 hours may cause an interruption in the internal daily functions and communications within the corporation. After 48+ hours of a self-tendered formal letter with intent of resignation, or common knowledge of intent to leave amongst any members, said person will be forced to resign by the CEO (under the "expulsion option") for the security and continuity of our daily infrastructure.
- Jared Tobin is the CEO and, though Braveguy is Co-CEO, Jared retains (and takes on) the highest responsibility for Bloodstone Industries' internal well-being as a whole, including the liabilities involved with the actions and conduct of his fellow Brethren, as well as fellow B.S.I. alliance members. Don't make him eject you out of an airlock for inappropriate behavior such as: illegal or immature actions that would cause Bloodstone Industries to be "War-Dec'd": don't go mouthing off inappropriately to people while assuming roles you have neither earned, nor learned, and respect other people's space (literally and figuratively). ABSOLUTELY NO POD-KILLING (in hi-sec). If engaged in war, pod-killing is your prerogative, but remember, in high security systems, your security status will go down noticeably, including the factional standing of the sovereignty of hi-sec space you pod-killed in. If you affect the composite standing of the factional sovereignty that importantly affects Bloodstone Industries' composite factional sovereignty standings, the Lead Staff will be having a meeting and eventually a discussion with you soon, if unsanctioned/unreasonable or "severely" detrimental to the corporation as a whole.
- You are responsible for your own conduct when alone in non-pre-negotiated low/zero-sec space (or anywhere, for that matter) if unsanctioned by the corporation or alliance. Any possible negative effects or repercussive actions resulting from any unwarranted, wreckless/aggressive actions (purposeful or otherwise) will be voted on by Bloodstone Industries Lead Staff and will not fall under Jared Tobin's sole responsibility. We all understand that you take a risk when travelling alone in low/zero-sec space without full knowledge of our sovereign pacts (et cetera), and we understand the instinct to protect yourself. The reality, however, is, unless it's contracted, planned, fleeted and/or escorted contractually by the system's "currently claimed sovereignty(ies)"... you're on your own. We obviously promote defending yourself, but any acts of violence with personal or wreckless/unsanctioned intent is ground for the relevancy of the previous bulleted guideline above.
- SHOW A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS: Kill NPC pirates ("Rats") if you see a fellow miner being attacked and quite possibly outgunned. If in doubt whether your help is welcome, you can always send a broadwave over the local system channel (or open a private wave chat with the pilot seemingly under attack) for emergency rescue/assistance inquiries. It doesn't hurt to be kind to any fellow pilots and miners alike. That's what makes Bloodstone Industries unique. (And never take anyone else's loot, you are only allowed to salvage wrecks legally - deemed by CONCORD.)
- On the note of CONCORD, if and when a member falls under 0.0 security status, this person's standings and actions will affect everything from our bills, broker/tax fees, discounts on NPC refineries, lab fees/durations, corporation/alliance standings, and NPC agents, including station docking permissions, for everyone in Bloodstone Industries and its associated alliance. In such cases, we will hold a meeting with the Bloodstone Industries Lead Staff to determine how to handle such situations.

All members of Bloodstone Industries have designated security levels, which allow certain privileges and rights of access inside BSI-occupied corporate hangars, laboratories, stations, and other various in-space secure containers, etc. The following information is mainly for current members, but is provided for all potential new members and clients to understand our priority in organization. Please remember that all "containers" inside any hangar is "audit-logged" which means there is a continuously recorded record of all of whom and what goes in and out of any container - for security purposes and ridding of assumptive guessing/finger pointing.
- The levels of security status is numerical:
4=CEO/Co-CEO
3=Trusted High Ranking Members/Scientists ("those who really know their stuff")
2=Trusted Members ("those who made the grade" - unique hangar access varies from person to person)
1= Bloodstone Freshcuts (Trust and integrity are earned, not assumed.)
The Corporate Hangar breaks down as follows:
- VAULT: CEO and Co-CEO (Level 4) access only. Period.
- ADVANCED LAB: Level 3+ access Scientists and Tech II Researchers/Inventors. Currently this is our Mad Scientist in-residence (and Co-CEO) Braveguy's insane asylum- er, lab. All Scientists may deposit researched BPs and materials for Tech II Research and Development. The Industrial Ops Scientists' and CEO's discretion decide whether finished Tech II BPCs will be either manufactured here or moved to the Production Lab.
- RESEARCH LAB: All corporate Blueprints and Blueprint Copies that are in a current state of Material and Productivity Research are stored/researched here. They are separated in secure containers from the untouched (non-researched) prints - awaiting furhter assignment. When in doubt, consult Braveguy for any Tech II copy/research needs. Contact Jared Tobin for any questions regarding any questions on the whereabouts of missing BPs (or contact BOTH to inform them when checking out approved BP originals for external research shipments). This is a trusted Level 3 Industrial Ops Scientist (and Lead Staff) access area only.
- PRODUCTION BAY: This is where our Bloodstone Industries Market occurs and wheere our corporate ships are docked, for licensed pilots.. Level 2+ Lead Staff will place Refined minerals ONLY here (from Astrogeology). All market-oriented BPs are stored in either "IN-STOCK" or "OUT-OF-STOCK" audit containers, as well as all tools, salvaged parts and even finished goods awaiting "market (re)stocking" will remain in this hangar only. When you are ready to manufacture a print, remove it from its container, place it in the hangar (with its necessary materials), and make sure to have your Corporate Wallet set to "Market Wallet" to initiate the manufacturing process. When finished, place the freshly used BPs back into the appropriate containers. Any questions, contact Jared Tobin. (Please note some private client jobs will be in this hangar, as well as Corporately Owned/Insured ships, in their own secure part of this bay.)
- ASTROGEOLOGY: Level 2 (and higher) Mining & Industrial Specialists will use this area as THE place to dump all RAW ORE ONLY as well as any salvaged goods. All Mining and Salvaging gear and Astrometric Probe/Survey scanning gear will be located here, in their specified containers. Level 3's will refine the raw ore and relocate its minerals to the Production Bay as needed. Special notes: If you deposit an amount of minerals or ore, please communicate what you did to others via a corporate mail. Any mining crystals fully damaged (or missing and in need of re-supply), please contact any of the Lead Staff. Lastly, the definition of salvaged goods is that which you obtain using a salvager device ON a wreck in space, including any Data Sheets (not ship logs) and any "commodities" such as Enriched Uranium, Metal Scraps, Construction Blocks, Lead, et cetera - and all such items may be "dropped" freely inside the "SALVAGE DROP" container.
- SECURITY: This is Bloodstone's Armory, highly organized by ship modification fittings for MOST Level 2 and higher trusted members/expert Couriers, Haulers, Mission Runners, Covert-Operative Pilots and High & Low-Sec Trade Negotiators, Diplomats and Miners to "lock and load" for ALL our protection (and our clients' when applicable). If you're going to work with us, we want you to be safe and do each job/mission safely. Please return unneeded items to the hangar when finished and/or feel free to swap out/add to our Armory, as it if for the betterment of us all. Skill Training books are stored here as well - their uses negotiable upon loyalty, reward, and/or trade.
- OPEN LOCKER: When you come in to any occupied station, it's our locker room. Items are for all in need to use/borrow. Fist fights allowed - just clean up your own blood, and shake hands before undocking and doing your part...
Our financial divisions (wallets) are rather simple:
- MASTER WALLET: It pays our monthly bills, broker and tax fees, some lab fees, and manages internal member award/reward production and bestowment costs, and is now the holding are for our net profits from our "Phase II" Bloodstone Industries Market. Security clearance is Level 4, with some exceptions to certain Level 3 Industrial Scientists in high trust.
- MARKET WALLET: This is the current week's main logging-and-reporting "capture" ground for all gross sales from our "Phase II" Market - where, during paydays (Sundays, usually), the previous week's market gain is moved to the Master Wallet. This gives us a better idea for our Economic Response and helps dictate to the Science and Industry teams what to focus on throughout the week. IF YOU MANUFACTURE, make sure you have THIS WALLET SELECTED AS YOUR CORP WALLET to handle lab fees and place your orders into corporate accessibility when the jobs are done. Level 3+ members have the ability to VIEW THE TRANSACTION LOGS of the Market Wallet as well to see the selling demographic and show whether we are up or down on sales. IMPORTANT: By viewing any transaction logs, you fully agree to complete public anonimity and confidentiality of our purchasing clients' identities/affiliations. Remember, we do not take sides, we take purchase orders. Pilots put their ISK into our trust in exchange for our hand-made products. Betrayal of confidence is an embarassment, not only to Bloodstone's reputation, but most shamefully an embarassment of your mere existence.
- SECURITY/RESEARCH WALLET: For security needs and pay-outs, if needed. Due to varying researcher security levels, this wallet is also set up to handle research lab fees when using non-POS labs for manufacturing, etc. SOME high ranking Level 2 and Levels 3 & 4 only.
- EMERGENCY WALLET: For emergencies. We're not quite sure if or when we'll use it, but you never know since emergencies, inherently, are usually a surprise. Level 2 through 4 access only.
- ASTROGEOLOGY WALLET: For Astrogeological needs and pay-outs, if any. Level 2 through 4 access only
- DONATION WALLET: If you can't contribute via mission running, hired service contract fulfilment, or you simply haven't been able to mine like you used to, an ISK donation is always welcomed AND NOTED. It goes to the Corp and all members have access to this, even Bloodstone Freshcuts.
- BLACKHOLE WALLET: For Private Client Work Orders, cutting checks or, when we need a clean, flat table to do financial juggling work on, this is the place. Security clearance is Level 4, with some exceptions to certain Level 3 Industrial Scientists in high trust. However, as of 2009, it has been a particular wallet of physics-defying interest and confusion, not only to us, but to the programmers of EVE. Until they fix its odd -0.00 balance, please avoid it like a blackhole. Thank you.
PAYROLL GUIDELINES:
Since Bloodstone Industries' formation, we believe in, not only "paying it forward" (karma), but sharing "the wealth" (benefits) when able. With corporate communication (usually in the form of "drop notes"), we believe in full members' weekly (or bi-weekly) should be monetarily compensated for what they do for Bloodstone Industries with payroll guidelines in the following order:
- Ice Miners have a higher grade pay, considering the amount of time it takes for such long harvesting time and heavy transport involved.
- Ore Miners who also sit out there and mine for the corp (and sometimes also partially for themselves at the same time), without any immediate pay are therefore usually primary in pay per amount they "drop" for the corporation per pay period (sans Ice Miners, if any ice mining is done during the same pay period). (Bonus points go to all organized Orca-based mining initiatives and convoys).
- The Transport Division gets paid on a fluctuant scale for, not only "normal" transport/hauling requests, but for quick retrieval (emergency or otherwise) to keep the flow of market rotation when manufacturing material needs are involved. (When minerals/materials are transported, that is when the Transport Division is paid more than the Mining Division in any given pay period.)
- Lastly, Mission Runners make little "extra" pay compared to the rest of the Bloodstone Industries Divisions since their missions typically pay more than the average weekly pay (currently). The exception is for any noted "salvage drops" and/or significant improvements to Bloodstone Industries' corporate standing with the Caldari State and overall betterment for the corporations and the alliance.
- Economists, Diplomatic Relations Traders and the Scientific/Manufacturing Divisions make an understood and economic decision to work for "the greater good" and - until policies/profit-margin demographics change - there is an averaged salary given per weekly market closing. We call it "doing the Books" and usually involves strictly The Lead Staff itself... namely: Jared Tobin spending a large portion of time working as the Economist of the Bloodstone Market for the betterment of his fellow Brethren and the alliance.
Please note: Bloodstone Freshcuts are not "full members" as their title is equivalent to a "trial period", therefore they do not get paid until promoted to full membership. That is because time spent as a Freshcut is mutually beneficial: Not only does this time period allow the Bloodstone Brethren watch (and absorb) all Freshcuts' behaviors, to see how their personal determination works with others, but also allows time for the newly joined Freshcut to adjust to "the way things work", helps them get a feel for the group, the mentalities, personalities, and ultimately providing them with an opportunity to decide whether Bloodstone Industries is right for them or not.
AWARDS:

Our motto (and creed) is like the Bloodstone itself: "TURMOIL PRIOR TO PERFECTION." With every project we take on, those who pull their own weight to help get the project/jop done as fast as possible will be given equal shares of the end result's ISK per job. With the introduction of Bloodstone Industries' "Phase II", our Bloodstone Industries Market serves to generate income for the Corp's internal savings, rewards/gifts for our Bloodstone Brethren, and provide steady paychecks to contributing members and the Lead Staff. We do have some prerequisites if you're thinking of joining Bloodstone Industries:
- English speaking applicants only, please. (Sorry, one member broke our Babblefish tank by accident.)
- Applicants MUST be at least 44 days "old" AND must have Caldari State faction standing of at least 1.5, and NO members who log on less than once a week.
- Though we may have occasional trade contracts and low sec mining agreements with people or corporations in low or zero sec space from time to time (which is our prerogative), "individual pirates" need not apply. It would simply be a mutual conflict between your personal policies in contrast to our corporation's policies.
- We also investigate in any applications from pilots with a negative security rating for many reasons. Most likely the result will be either a full inquiry into your background leading to refusal of your application, or a very apparent, and well-informed, intent on raising your security status to at least 0.0 will be needed for further processing of your application.
- Please note trust is earned, not assumed. If you're accepted into Bloodstone Industries, you will be called a "Bloodstone Freshcut" (Level 1 security status). Your promotion into Level 2 security clearance will be assessed by the Lead Staff, and your promotion can occur anywhere between 2-8 weeks. Until then, take the time to get to know the other members, get a feel for how we work together, laugh together, and even fight together.
- MATURITY WARNING: We are all mature pilots who have been out in space for quite a long time... And when you've been around the 'verse that long, we all tend to use "mature" (and/or explicit) language in our broadwave communications... (Mell's been using the "F" word a lot lately) not to mention some of us drink and smoke on the job. If this offends you, or you are too young for mature content and mature language, you have been officially warned, and technically you probably shouldn't be enrolled in Eve due to CCP's age restrictions.
- AS FOR TIME ZONES: Currently the majority of our members are based between GMT-7 (CNT) and GMT+4 (UAE), residing mainly (so far) in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and the U.A.E. - however our intent and goal, as we grow, is to encompass the world across an entire day. Every timezone is welcome, however English is our primary language as stated earlier.
Membership applications are accepted at our HQ and Bloodstone Market station: Saisio VII - Moon 1 - Peace and Order Unit Testing Facities station..
Lastly, if you're looking for a corporation who will just give you ISK on a tritanium platter, turn around now. Don't look back. No joke.
