I have no idea what to think or feel about this.

It rings very familiar to me, at all points.

[Lyn Farel]

Familiar OOCly ? Like Anders Breivik familiar ?

Or did you mean something else entirely ?

Like that, yes. I noticed it, too. And I'm not sure what to think of it either.

[Morwen Lagann]

I don't see anything wrong with CCP drawing from RL events for things, but that does seem a little... off, in that light. :S

I'd rather wait for more details before making any judgement on it though.

[Lyn Farel]

I don't mind much. That's not like that kind of things was uncommon IRL anyway. And Eve often takes pride to base itself on a grim version of IRL.

Also, getting inspiration from IRL makes it seem more believable, more often than not.

[Natalcya Katla]

I'm not saying CCP are objectively horrible for drawing on it, if that is actually what they have done. It's more that the thought of him inspiring anything at all, even internet spaceship fiction, is...complicated.

I'm not going to hate on it, but I'm not going to throw any characters at this story arc either.

Karin Midular, current Sebiestor Tribal Chief and former Prime Minister of the Minmatar Republic, has been confirmed as one of those wounded in the terrorist attack that took place at the hands of a lone gunman earlier today on Gallente Prime. Details are sparse at this hour, but reports indicate the tribal chief is currently in critical condition after sustaining a serious head wound in the attack.

According to highly placed sources within the Minmatar government, Sanmatar Malaetu Shakor has been in direct contact with Federation President Jacus Roden, making a strongly worded demand that the shooter be extradited to the Minmatar Republic for questioning and trial. The same sources indicate that the President's response was negative, citing internal investigation and damage control at home as the primary reasons.

No details pertaining to the gunman's identity have been released yet, though unconfirmed reports indicate that he is of ethnic Gallente origin. His political or organizational affiliations, if any, are unknown at this time. He is reportedly being held and questioned by Caille authorities in preparation for transfer to an undisclosed governmental facility.

Protests and rioting have broken out in various cities across the Minmatar Republic, with dissenters calling for Midular to be sent home immediately along with the gunman. Midular's status as a Ray of Matar, a position of rarified cultural and spiritual significance to the Minmatar, is believed to account in large part for the extraordinarily rapid escalation of national anger.

Representatives of the Sebiestor Tribe were unavailable for comment, though the tribe this afternoon sent out a release expressing shock at the state of affairs while urging "tribal brothers and sisters, as well as all of our national brethren everywhere, to remain resilient in the face of this great and senseless evil."

[Shintoko Akahoshi]

I'm intrigued.

[Louella Dougans]

hasn't Karin Midular been through enough?

[Lyn Farel]

Yes, I'm a little sad to see Midular going through all of this. It is one of my favorite PF characters. Or it was...

Apparently the RSS want to cross the border and reclaim the shooter at 20:00 eve time.

"yaaay"

I'm actually quite pleased with this, as it gives Kala something to be seriously angry about. She's not huge on the Republic, but she is very proud of her tribe.

I can only hope the Gallente refuse to hand him over so she gets to do a great long Rage Rant™

[Karmilla Strife]

and... I'll be at work for the event. Again.

[Esna Pitoojee]

Am I the only one who saw this and promptly thought that the gunman might have been 'nudged' along by someone involved in that shady tribal business we recently had a chron about?

[Karmilla Strife]

I actually see it as more related to the minmatar arc involving the Odenjorn and the Gallente courts.  I think CCP is trying to distance the republic and fed. Would be nice if the 4 factions were independent of each other.

[ 2013.04.11 17:26:18 ] Liuni Kalthis > So a crime happening on Gallenete lands means you try them at home. I look forward to hearing of the Minmatar sending their people to Gallenete to crimes against tourists. This will be interesting.

[ 2013.04.11 17:28:25 ] Liuni Kalthis > So basically they want to cause more tention because they want the person sent to Minmatar lands within 24 hours. I swear, then they say we capsuleers are the children.

[ 2013.04.11 17:30:10 ] Liuni Kalthis > The lack of respect for due process and fact gathering by the tirbes is an insult too.

[ 2013.04.11 17:30:40 ] Lucas Raholan > While in any other case it would be a Gallente remit..the importance of Midular as a Ray of Matar is of deep importance to the Minmatar, even as a Amarr I can see this
[ 2013.04.11 17:31:06 ] Liuni Kalthis > You have fun getting shot at the border for taking of a man in Gallenete custody because you have the patience of a toddler. Wait a week for the information. He isn't going anywhere.

[ 2013.04.11 17:31:32 ] Seriphyn Inhonores > He also spilled the blood of Cailleans, on Caillean soil.
[ 2013.04.11 17:31:36 ] Liuni Kalthis > Go home, think, and act rationally.
[ 2013.04.11 17:31:49 ] Lucas Raholan > While the Gallente should contiue their investigation once completed it is only right that the perputrator be given to the Matar
[ 2013.04.11 17:31:55 ] Kanaya Laskey > I'm telling you, at least send a neutral party to get them, instead of a Minmatar firing squad.
