Yeah, I'm going to be SUPER CRANKY if this is CCP's way of saying to Caldari RPers "You didn't like being semi-Nazis? Your faction just went FULL FASCIST! Deal with it!"

[Katrina Oniseki]

I think we can stand to give CCP Falcon a bit more faith than this. He was one of us just a little while ago... I don't think he would derp that hard, would he?

Well he was a Gurista.

I find this train of thought perturbing because it implies a lack of professionalism. More than one person is responsible for the integrity of the Prime Fiction and story direction. Simply because Falcon is the most visible doesn't mean he is suddenly the only person driving the boat.

I am also much rather inclined to see the conclusion of the story arc before passing judgment on it - not everything will make sense at first. The Sansha Arc leading to Incursion was much the same way.

You seem to have missed the part were I was joking Ghost.

Not enough context supplied to infer that as the intent, Aquila. A parallel discussion to this topic just occurred in EVE's OOC chat that wasn't joking about that fact. That colored my perception of your post.

As far as the 514 thing goes, I would love to tell you guys. However, I swore on my previous computer's grave to CCP at Fanfest that I would not tell anyone until they deemed that the right time had come. (Seriously. Well, except the whole computer grave part.)

[Seriphyn]

I more read it as CCP's way to ditch Heth

[Adreena Madeveda]

Isn't the 514 thing something like a pun in Chinese numerology ?

[Aelisha Montenagre]

Congrats to CCP for running a dust live event when the Euro and US timezone are at work 

Downtime to Downtime or nowt IMO 

Still, a decent chronicle; though it seems Sol's going to have to sit on the sidelines as her pro-heth stance will fly in the face of current corporate opinion.  Still, I have plenty to do in this kind of environment .

[Lyn Farel]

Maybe the War Council is simple the CEP body that directs the Caldari Navy?

I am being a little paranoid, especially given some of the language being used in news releases, stories, etc with regards to the State.

It seems like the State is being setup to fall hard; like really hard.  To the point that its a pariah state on the other big ones.

The Caldari and Minmatar could use a few kicks in the ass and looking like fools for a change, it would make the other factions breath a little.

Sometimes, and I am probably wrong, I get that absurd feeling that Caldari and Minmatar do not really suffer from player dislike and flak that the Amarr and the Gallente get.

[Tiberious Thessalonia]

Well, uh, that was a little more direct than I thought that was going to go down.

[BloodBird]

While I in essence agree with Lyn here, I also share Tib's impression of the events.

I mean, "going down-hill" is one thing, Heth is more like an unstoppable free-fall at this point.

It will not be pretty when he finally hit the ground...

[Sepherim]

Actually, many historical examples can be provided that when systems and leaders fall, they fall far and fast: the French and american revolutions, glasnost and perestroika processes, the end of the appartheid in South Africa, the end os the spanish dictatorship, etc. Such massive changes often explode when a critical mass has been reached due to one reason or another. It's not the only way it can happen, true, but it isn't that rare.

Oh, and as far as where I see this going, I agree with Seriphyn, I think CCP is turning the Caldari back to the Eight and far from Heth's hands/vision now that his role in creating FW (together with the Elders) is complete.

Isn't the 514 thing something like a pun in Chinese numerology ?

Close. Except it is not numerology as 514 is not a special number in itself for a Chinese. I do not know what they call it, but the Chinese care a lot for items that have the (nearly) same pronounciation and the association this brings.

As such "five one four" pronounced in Mandarin is the same as "I (am) going (to) die".

For a game developed i China this makes good sense on its origin, though what it means in the Eve universe could be anything.

P.s. I had help from my Chinese wife to figure this out.
