[Warlordtheft]

The ranking of corporations from the most to least positive is listed below. This was based on the average rating given by the respondents to the poll of runners on the Dumpshock Forums. Ratings for each of the 10 megas and two large not for profits was given on a scale of 1(saintly) to 5 (evil incarnate). The results of this poll given its voluntary and not scientific in any way, but does give an idea of the general attitudes towards the big ten, the Draco Foundation and the Atlantean foundation.

1. Draco Foundation
2. Evo
3. Shiwase
4. Neonet
5. Ares
6. Atlantean Foundation
7. Wuxing
8. Horizon
9. MCT
10. Renraku
11. SK
12. Aztechnology

Draco Foundation
Not subject to the same motivations as true corporations, the Draco Foundation was well regarded by the runners on dumpshock. Of particular note, 65 percent thought of Draco Foundation as a positive force in the sixth world , rating it a 1 or a 2 on a 5 point scale. The average rating was 2.24

Evo
Of the true corporations, Evo had the most positive rating of the megas. Apparently their meta-human friendly attitude has persuaded the runners on dumpshock that they are the good guys. As with the Draco foundation 65% rated the corp positive, with an average rating of 2.43.

Shiawase
Unexpectedly, Shiawase had the second positive rating of the megas. Apparently the runners on dumpshock are pretty "meh" with them as 80% rated the abivelent, with an average rating of 2.94.

Neonet
Neonet also earned neutral rating. Although 76% rated the abivelent, an almost equal percentage rated them 2 or 4, with an average rating of 2.95.

Ares
Ares was also neutral, despite its efforts in combatting bug spirits, the Saito incident, and the warm fuzzies KE gives us runners. Although 34% rated the corp poisitively (a 1 or 2), an almost equal percentage (37%) rated them a 4 or 5, with an average rating of 2.96.

Atlantean Foundation
Not subject to the same motivations as true corporations, the Atlantean Foundation was rated the most neutral of the orgnizations by the runners on dumpshock. Almost 60 percent rated the Atleantean Foundation a 3, noting it to be ambivelent and being neither good nor evil force in the sixth world. The average rating was 3.06

Wuxing
While Wuxing was also neutral, with 61% of the runners on Dumpshock rating them a 3 (ambivelent), 21% rated the corp negatively (a 4 or 5), and only 15 percent rated them positively. Is there something runners should know? Some dark evil underpinnings in this corp? With an average rating of 3.11, theres seems to be some indication that this might be the case.

Horizon
Horizon had more mixed results than Wuxing with 40% of the runners on Dumpshock rating them a 3 (ambivelent). There was a significant portion (19%) of respondents that thought Horizon was evil incarnate (rating them 5). This significantly impacted polls results, and contrary to that 21 percent rated them a 2 (positive). Is there something the runners LA have run into when dealing with them? Or did one Horizon Johson just hose up a vocal minority? With an average rating of 3.13, they ranked 7 out of 12. Not good for a corp that prides itself on its PR department.


MCT
MCT was rated as being slightly negative. Almost half (45%) of respondents that gave MCT a negative rating of four or five. Of the remaining respondents, 48 gave them a neutral rating of 3. With an average rating of 3.52, this corp may not be in league with the devil, but the path to hell is laid with bones of the greedy.

Renraku
Renraku was also rated as being slightly negative. More than half (52%) of respondents that gave Renraku a negative rating of four, the remaining respondents (48%) gave them a neutral rating of 3. With an average rating of 3.52, this corp may still be suffereing from the Renraku Arcology incident, which it bungled so badly. (Also note for those paying attention MCT average was 3.519 and Renraku Average 3.524.)

Saeder Krupp
Saeder Krupp was rated as being the second most evil of the corps. More than 64% of respondents gave SK a negative rating of four or five, of the remaining respondents only 2 (6%) gave them a positive rating of 3. With an average rating of 3.74, Lofwyr is wise to not advertise he his corp is the Johnson. Apparently the old runners adage: "Shoot Straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever deal with a dragon" still applies to 2070.


Aztechnology
As the most evil corp of the corps, more than 71% of respondents gave Aztechnology negative rating of five (evil incarnate). The only positive responses were apparently from those enjoying their Nerps or Nukkit Burgers. With an average rating of 4.39, Aztechnology has alot to answer for, blood mages, genocide, New NERPs and all.
