(Apparently I am terrible at creating posts because there was a text explanation.) I am a long time Redditor who pulls for TEST even though RL keeps me from playing. Fortuna's AMA was interesting for many, and he seems to be a good person with previous ties to TEST. I thought that he might help the cause, and he seemed open to the idea.

I'm sure he'll be welcomed if he comes back, but I don't see why he would make a good candidate to be in charge of TEST (or HERO) finances. Fortuna ran a business in EVE, and was very good at it, but an alliance like TEST is really a non-profit, not a business. The things that make a "good" EVE businessman are not necessarily the same things that make a good alliance financial director.

I agree with your points; I have no idea of TEST's hierarchy, so I was simply guessing at a position. Every corporation needs money, and many on his AMA were attesting to his usefulness.

I have never played. Always wanted to, but RL responsibilities (sons' baseball/soccer/football coach, job, wife, etc.) get in the way. I've always enjoyed reading about TEST, and since I'm a Redditor I pull for you guys.

No, I responded to Fortuna in his AMA thread about helping/rejoining TEST, and he said would if he was needed, so I made this post for him since his AMA was in r/Eve.

As the person in question: I didn't ask for this post though I appreciate the sentiment. I know I'd be welcome back to TEST and have a standing invite to Brave(not hard to get honestly).
I'll always love this game, and my loyalty only lies with dreddit, but there aren't many spots for a non-pilot like myself in a non-sov alliance.
The comment referenced in this post was half jest. There are countless scores of pilots that I helped that would love me back in game, but getting a job as a director obviously isn't something done lightly. At the same time, I can't imagine much else in eve that I'd actually enjoy doing. For now, unless something comes up to spark my interest, I'll keep my eyes on you guys, hope for the best, and continue winning eve.
Fortuna you wont remember me but I remember all the help you gave me when I first joined test like a year ago and I'd go salvage places and contract you the junk and you'd sell it all for me. You made me love eve and I'll never forget it. Stay awesome man.
TEST wont have sov in it's name, but we are taking sov as part of hero!! Come on down to catch!
Test is not and will not be a major sov holding entity.
Totally understood, and I understand the position. I just think maybe they should amend the "Who is Dreddit for" video from the 'everyone' clip to 'pvp pilots'.
