And that's exactly what it is. A swear-word, an insult, propagated and utilized by eggers who assume themselves greater than they are. As mentioned it's nothing but a creation of the capsuleers themselves and/or those who are truly in control and has no real value or use by normal humans.

Sure, "baseliner" is a derogatory term. So is "egger" too by the way.

Yes it is. My use of it was intentional.

[Hamish Grayson]

Caldarian.  TonyG's greatest sin.

[Random Sentience]

There's only one term I'd ditch, if I could.

"Baseliners".

What. The fuck. 

It's a transhumanism term. Something to measure progress by.

As a misanthropic transhumanist, I find that incredibly depressing.

The multiple definition of Khanid is something that has always annoyed me.

Not everyone who lives in the Khanid Kingdom is a Khanid.

Many Khanids live in the Empire and some do consider King Khanid II to be their leader, but many don't.

King Khanid II is the head of the Khanid Family and rules the Khanid Kingdom, but he is not himself from the Khanid bloodline. 

CCP, WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE INTRODUCED THE UDORIAN BLOODLINE THAT WAS ALREADY IN PF INSTEAD OF INVENTING THE  KHANID ONE?

Because they're indistinguishable from True Amarr?

But thats not like the Amarrian Empire, which is filled with Amarrians who follow the Amarrian religion, but arent, in fact, all True Amarr?

It would have been less of a strain on ther PF to say that Udorians are a little bit different after all than to magic up a new bloodline out of nowhere.

At least the Empress' first name isn't Amarr.    Or her family.

Introducing the Udorians as a separate bloodline would have meant that all the characters in the Tash-Murkon family would have to be re-made, which is a big problem.

It would have been better to introduce the Ealur, who were already in the PF, and just like the Achura and Jin-Mei wouldn't have had a factional or corporate presence to worry about. The whole Khanid bloodline thing is a royal mess.

On the same note: Why not Mannar?

[BloodBird]

People have been face-palming and asking questions like that since the blood-line patch.

Last I saw CCP's official line was something along the lines of Rule of Cool.

They could, they did, logical practical reasoning be damned.

[Matariki Rain]

Kind of ditto Krusual, which seems to have been the bloodline prepped and ready to go when the Vherokior were launched instead. (Vherokior are not significantly worse-off for background than the other tribes, by the way...)

* Louella Dougans learned how to tell Udorians and True Amarr apart at school... <.< >.>

But can she do it when they've got their clothes on?
