I was in my first week playing EVE (we all know how confusing it is!) and a pretty cool guy approached me over chat due to my "correct" spelling and punctuation. Needless to say, he helped me for a couple of days before I asked him to join his corporation (turns out he was recruit hunting, a practice I've followed).

I'm still flying with the same corporation, we joined an alliance, and now we're in nullsec pewpewing. The guy who recruited me stole 2.5 billion ISK in assets 1 month after I joined; he's no longer part of the corp.
