Huh... (http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=652&tid=4)
Guess I wasn't so wrong after all.
Admittedly, I've run out of inspiration to add any new stuff to Seriphyn's "war hero" malarky. Nice to know it was "legit" at any rate.
-
You mean [Olds]?
-
^ this.
Was funny. But they've taken this storyline in other directions since then.
Also, I miss mort. :(
-
Fascinating. I wonder if Istvaan has a fan club. If he does, it's probably full of weirdos who whack off to crime stories.
-
I've seen your business threads. Your fan club is other capsuleers.

At the bottom of Seri's link there is a "hint" icon. Never noticed those before. When clicked it says: GalNet = Intergalactic Summit. Those making their in-character points with grace and conviction, and backing them up with in-game action, will win the adulation of the masses and are likely to be included in the storyline.

I've seen the hint links before. That one, however, deserves mention in the "ENOUGH" thread...
-
I'm excited at the prospects, admittedly.
However, I must remind myself and others that the gist of this news item, along with it's 'hint' have come up before at least once in the past (I think it was also about Mr. Mort...hmmm), and it was just the usual BS.
Here's hoping it's a new day.
Fun prediction: [Removed, because I am an idiot who doesn't check the dates on things.]
-
I think this probably is that "once before" occasion, Graelyn, as the article is dated to the end of 2004. Just being rediscovered.
-
:bash:
Well, I feel silly.
Shame though, when that story came out, everyone was quite excited. I wish it hadn't been for nothing.
-
I don't know so much about "the storyline" but the ILF has never been shy about using the IGS to promote itself, its cause and its activities.
As a result, we have been featured in a number of "official" news items. It also got me in on some personal personal correspondence with Vorada Kuvakei, leader of the Illoren during the Rise incident.
I think if you make yourself known and CCP likes what you're doing, they do little things to let you know its appreciated.

"Ishaeka" as well - the name given to the CONCORD task force involved with the Sansha invasions.
That's taken directly from ILF's Intaki language work.
-
Yes. . . the reports for which my associates and I received due to an IGS thread nobody read. XD
-
You have it backwards, perhaps, in that the thread didn't kick it off, just added more fuel to the fire. There are not exactly a whole lot of outwardly CONCORD-aligned egger corps with experience in wormhole exploration!
That Synenose responded to the first wormhole event on IGS just reinforces the idea - they were an obvious point to leak the information. A stone's throw from CONCORD, but capsuleers (so free to do what the hell they want with the information). Any number of CONCORD people could be in touch with a corporation like that, making the task of figuring out who leaked the intelligence much more difficult...and their professed interest in wormholes meant that they would not turn the information away.
The perfect storm, I would say. I mean c'mon. Your name is even Julianus Soter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soter). It practically writes itself. :lol:
-
Ohgod, the name. I picked that three years ago due to my perception of pseudo-greek influences in post-Gate culture and my curiosity with various classical military figures. Some greek-speakers in eve poke fun at me periodically when they see it :lol:
It probably didn't help me much I had never intended for this character to be an "RP" character. And my only experience with RP was Knights of the Old Republic.
Regarding the OP, wasn't there some kind of CONCORD statement given out in 2006 or something, at the turn of the year, about how the general citizenry shouldn't idolize Capsuleer Alliances? Thought that was kind of curious.

Confirmed. Bloody Hands of Matar ftw :twisted:

Completely derailing, I wonder what's the relation between the CCRA (CONCORD Communications Regulation Agency) and the CRC (ISD Communications Relay Commission, i.e. old volunteer forum mods).
And yes, many advanced characters have the buying power to buy a planet or so. They're bound to have fans.

ISK is worthless outside space.

ISK is worthless outside space.
Do you have a citation for that?
My understanding is that it is a 'trade currency' - you couldn't buy a sandwich with it, but you could buy pallets of space-bologna. As such, it can also be converted into local currencies (or corporate scrip, as the case may be) directly or indirectly (buy a commodity in ISK, sell it in local currency, for example.)
I haven't seen anything that indicated it couldn't be used for large purchases on a planet, even if it isn't entirely common.
-
As a result, there is only minimal interaction between the two [planetary and space economies] when compared to the massive scale of interstellar trading.
Stairway to Heaven, http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=28-02-05
(I'm guessing that's what Lallara is referring to. Mind you it also allows for "localized economies", so maybe while isk is not used on most planetsides, it is still useful in some places.)

Seems to indicate that people will only trust their local currency as far as they can trust their leadership, and will jump at ISK whenever possible.
-
It might make sense (and Stairway to Heaven suggests it too) that this one of the things that's changing currently in the EVE world?
-
Other things that were interesting, on the rise, and trendy in 2004:
Ocean's Twelve
Alien Vs. Predator
The Grudge
Spanglish

Around my house, Spanglish never went out of style.
-
Why thank you Ken. :3
... really, Spanglish? I never cared for it, but a lot of my friends demanded I see it...
Of course they all demanded I go see Avatar with them too, and I didn't fall for that one either. >>

Oh, you meant the movie? Whoops, my bad.
Nothing to see here, this off-topic excursion will now end.
