Didn't the Pax Ammaria come out relatively recently, too?  Just prior to the start of the game recently?

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Well, that's Miz for you.

But seriously, nice to see Amarr in it's entirety is just a big joke haha.

Tib and I were discussing this, and yes, I'm fairly sure that it was a recent thing as well - wasn't the publishing of the Pax Amarria one of the things that directly lead Hiederian (sp?) to get the Aidonis award?

I looked through Evelopedia, though, and all references to a print date appear to have been cleansed.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Well, clearly the mistake wasn't a mistake, as the fact that every important person involved in the publishing of the book was in on it. Heideran meant the title to be spelled with two 'M's' rather than two 'R's', making it Pax Ammaria (as in Ammatar) rather than Pax Amarria (as in Amarr). What I don't get is why the persecution of the book takes place well before the Emperor's death. The chron strongly suggests it was mainly the Theology Council and Chamberlain that were responsible for the - OH WAIT, ya this chron is retarded.

Fuck you CCP fiction people, fuck you.

Dear God, they're pulling a Ministry of Internal Order move.

CCP:  Always filter prime fiction through RPers.  We will catch any and all inconsistancies with an obsessive, laser-like focus. And then, we will let you know.

I'm Sansha and even I can see the huge internal consistency issues with this.

Also the sheer ridiculousness over a single typo and the ensuing deaths smacks pretty heavily of warhammer 40,000 levels of ridiculous. While hilarious, this is not warhammer 40,000.

There's unreliable narrators, and then there's completely full of shit.

Unless CCP is doing some serious retcons, this chron falls under the latter. :\

Unless it is literally the most unreliable of narrators, and the story is written under the presumption of being completely incorrect in-character. There are factual errors that exist that contradict the PF, and it's not clear if the narrator is unreliable or the editing missed a lot of problems.

heideran vii's much appraised book 'pax amarria' published
2003.09.03 19:15:56
Pax Amarria, a book written by the Amarr Emperor Heideran VII himself, was released yesterday through the Amarr Empire Ministry of Information. It will be published shortly in other empires. In the book, Heideran VII describes his lifelong dream for galactic peace and how he has worked zealously to enforce his vision. The book has met great critical acclaim throughout the Empire and political analysts everywhere say it's a 'must-read' for everyone interested in inter-stellar politics.

Pasted here, just in case they wipe that one as well. 

I think anyone could, and should, treat the chron as a joke, some hack selling a cheap knock off he got that has the mis-spelled title.  Maybe if enough of us RPer's start posting the true dates of the Pax, we can get CCP to change its mind.
