Right, so, something really weird and unexplainable happened and a post bugged, so I went into the db to remove that post directly and it deleted the whole damned thread. So, let's try this again.
A LOT of the submissions that were made have already been added (only exceptions being unverifiables), so if you already posted a submission no need to re-post as it's probably already in the rotation. :)
As before, if at all possible provide a link to the source of the information for interested readers to go and learn more. Player-created content is just as welcome as PF, especially if the player-created content has gained popularity and widespread acknowledgment/use among the RP crowd.
EDIT: Now the thread's shown up again, but apparently in a different section and the second page is still exhibiting the strange bug... looking into it now.
EDIT 2: The error message cited a piece of code that doesn't seem to be wrong and that isn't causing issues in any of the other threads... chalking this up to a fluke but keeping an eye out for the same error message to appear in the future. At this point, the best I could do was to remove the bugged thread and start it over again.
EDIT 3: The bug did indeed show up again and has now been fixed (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=163.0).

Welp.
I was talking earlier about Wren's Corp Recognition Test threads. This is how I learned a lot about older corps in EVE.
Found one, two, three, and five, but there is no number four. Also found Kehmor's char recognition thread, but.
Links.
Test 1 (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=52311&page=1#1)
Test 2.1 (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=45767&page=1#1)

Kehm's test (http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=492014&page=1#1)
-
All of these are from The Burning Life. I'll try to do stuff from one chapter every day or two.
...the Sani Sabik sectarian law-enforcement organization is called the Bleeders, and is a combination of priests and policemen? (p. 18)
...that Sabik's Sepsis is a blood disease that rarely lasts into adulthood, but is considered sacrilege when it does? (pp. 20,21)
...that the Blood Raiders are a sect of the Sani Sabik who spend their lives in space hunting down and harvesting non-believers for their blood? (p. 23)

I always find lists like these (and their replies) interesting, but I'm not quite sure how we can apply them to the Did You Know blurbs?
I apologize for not identifying (and fixing) the sticky thread bug sooner, btw! :oops:

Added; was able to link the third one to the Blood Raiders chron instead :)
-
Even better!
-
Did you know... Sansha Kuvakei was an industrial mogul before founding his Nation? Moar here. (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sansha%27s_Nation_%28Chronicle%29)
...The True Slaves are loyal, implant controlled slave troops of Sansha Kuvakei? Moar here. (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sansha%27s_Nation_%28Chronicle%29)
...that Frentix is a principle drug booster of Sansha's Nation? (I might need to do some more research on this. There's a Sansha commander who is notorious for running huge Frentix operations)
...that the Blood Raiders and the Sansha have occasional border disputes, despite being allies? (Citation needed lol)
Those came immediately to mind. The last one I'm sure I've read somewhere, but I'll probably have to reach into the dark corners of EVE to find the source again.
-
Added first two; I don't know the sources of the second two myself but they sound like they'd be interesting reading so I'll wait a bit and see if you can find 'em (or anyone else!) :)
-
Is there a source tag for the Angel Cartel/slaver line? I know it's one of those things I just know but I'm not sure where I got it.
-
Pretty sure its mentioned in The Burning Life as well, but I'm also rather sure it's mentioned somewhere else as well - if I find it before an angel expert does I'll edit this post :)
-
I've added quite a few snippets drawn from the eve-wiki: I looked for characters or corps that I instantly knew were still active and that had an easily extractable sentence as a 'snippet'. If you'd like to see your character and/or corp up in lights in 'Did you know' please post something here for us to add.
-
...that capsuleers frequently communicate by means of dataprojectors? (p. 30)
...that the connections inside a pod serve as both communications pathways and security wiring? (p. 30)
...that ship crews only perform cleanup, maintenance, and lower-order operations on ships? (p. 31)
...that dataprojectors have 3D gesture-based interfaces? (p. 31)
...that cleaner bombs can remove small messes, including lingering aromas? (p. 33)
...that the DED and the Sisters of EVE cooperate on audits of megacorps? (p. 35)
...that Mindflood, a sedative booster, is taken by pouring liquid from a vial onto a cloth, placing it over one's mouth, and inhaling the fumes? (p. 38)
...that communicators can synthesize and render projections of the involved individuals? (pp. 38,39)
...that greasy, deep-fried Caldari takeout food is eaten with tongs and remains popular in the Federation? (pp. 40, 41)
-
I'm pretty sure the Mindflood drug (not capsuleer-grade booster) description mentions the way it's used. (Was it the drug that "kills brain cells faster than having the brain immersed in battery acid"?)
-
Yus. "Highly addictive fluid of which the toxic fumes are inhaled through the nostrils of the user. Mindflood kills braincells quicker than submerging one's brain in battery acid."
But, you know, not mainlined or sniffed like paint and glue. At least, not by high-end corporate agents... :yar:
-
. . . that there was a total information blockade during the Caldari occupation of Placid, only lifted when the Caldari Navy in the area was destroyed or driven out?
. . . that the Intaki Assembly responded directly to Julianus Soter's and other's request for information regarding Ishukone and Mordus Legion around Intaki Prime? http://www.eve-search.com/thread/1279643/page/1#19 (http://www.eve-search.com/thread/1279643/page/1#19)
That last one is curious. I distinctly remember that there was no news item up when I made the post. Which is why I made it. CCP timestamped the news item to make it appear closely linked to the liberation of the system. . . I'll maintain my in-game RP position about that, because I was one of the people that liberated the system, but it's just confuzzling.
. . . that Moira. Corporation is a non-governmental military organization determined to destroy Tibus Heth?
. . . that there was a Constitutional Convention sponsored by prominent Federal capsuleers, held in the Villore system? See more here http://bio.ceres.doesntexist.org/First%20Villore%20Constitutional%20Convention (http://bio.ceres.doesntexist.org/First%20Villore%20Constitutional%20Convention)
. . . that Julianus Soter founded Synenose Accord, a corporation dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of w-space and the Sleeper AI?
. . . that following several months of dedicated research, the Synenose Accord held a public and widely attended conference in the shattered Seyllin system, site of the tragic Seyllin Main-Sequence event? See more here http://bio.ceres.doesntexist.org/First_Seyllin_Conference (http://bio.ceres.doesntexist.org/First_Seyllin_Conference)
. . . that Julianus Soter first stated his intention to liberate Federation space on December 4th, Year 111? See the announcement here: http://www.eve-search.com/thread/1225893/page/1#1 (http://www.eve-search.com/thread/1225893/page/1#1)
. . . that the Federal Defence Union has liberated all but six systems from Caldari occupation, precipitating a power struggle within the State?
-
...that there are minmatar who willingly serve the Amarr empire? More here: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ammatar
-
Added first two; I don't know the sources of the second two myself but they sound like they'd be interesting reading so I'll wait a bit and see if you can find 'em (or anyone else!) :)

I trawled the eve-wiki for character bios that
a) belonged to characters I knew were still active
b) had an easily extractable snippet that didn't require rewriting
I kinda assumed that if something was on the eve-wiki people wouldn't have a problem with it having wider currency.
If you (or anyone else) wants a snippet taken down, just PM me or another mod and it will happen.
-
Did you know: both Black Ops and Titans can create artificial wormholes?
-
As a note, the "many doctors are really AIs" thing is also referenced in the AIMEDs ingame item description.
See: http://eve-online.itemdrop.net/eve_db/items/commodity/miscellaneous/aimeds/ (http://eve-online.itemdrop.net/eve_db/items/commodity/miscellaneous/aimeds/)

Shameless plug did you knows... (since many others have them)
Did you know... Epitoth Guard is home to some of the founders of Amarr loyalist RP as we know it today (Takumi Vetinari founder of PIE and Tharrn founder of 1PG)
Did you know... Epitoth Guard is the only corporation in CVA that flies only Amarr hulls and accepts only Amarrian pilots.
Did you know... Evanda Char once stole a priceless artifact from Admirals Tharrns office and made it into ear rings precipitating a year long war.

Added!
-
Hehe, not at all Cia, I'm actually quite flattered! Not that I'm special or anything...
-
Fine, if shameless plugging is allowed let me post a few more :P
Did you know...
that PIE has been at war with enemies of the empire ever since its foundation?
that the corp with the most holders of the Kourmonen Campaign medal, handed out by Yonis Ardishapur himself, today reside in PIE?
that PIE capsuleers do not only supply their comrades with spiced wine, but also with dark, maltey ale and fine brandy from their planetside holdings?
-
...that Scagga once had a bodyguard by the name of 'cuddles'?
-
Added. I hope that inspires more people to do some shameless plugging!
-
Havo didn't add my shameless plugs /o\

...that naturalist cafes on space stations go to great lengths to create the illusion that one is not in space? (p. 62)
...that the higher levels of space stations are restricted to the elite, with capsuleers occupying the very top decks? (p. 73)
...that small robots called "cleaner bugs" are used to keep space station areas free of refuse? (p. 74)
-
That chapter was weak (as far as PF goes). Time for more. Hopefully none of it qualifies as spoilers. If any of them are too spurious, feel free to leave them out. :)
[spoiler]...that docked frigates are hooked in with massive electromagnetic anchors? (p. 75)
...that docked cruisers are held in place with massive clamps on strategic support sections of the ship, and are disengaged with incendiary explosives? (p. 75)

-
Did you know...
...that the Curse Alliance (CA) is the only alliance mentioned in the EVE Chronicles? (http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=23-apr-04)
I do also remember a few other nice bits of more conventional "lore", but I'll want to check the sources first. (For example, did you know that Ishukone manufactures the most pods? And Hyasyoda's killer product is the capsuleer docking bay? Both need a source, though...)
-
Did you know that Saxon Hawke has the inscription "A man travels the universe in search of what he needs and returns home to find it." added near the entry port of every ship he purchases.
Did you know that Saxon Hawke's son Ravi died in drug-related hovercar crash that had connections to the Serpentis "Aenebra" cult? Read more about it here: http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1955&tid=5
Did you know that The Intaki Liberation Front uses local civilian employees in its orbital production facility known as Prosperity Station? Read more about it here: http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=3760&tid=7

Did you know...
...that one of the primary exports of the Amarrian Theology Council is booze? (Theology Council in-game info, Market Activity tab).
(Also, one of its primary imports is spiced wine. Those priests know how to enjoy themselves.)

This isn't... entirely true. Although I suppose they weren't mentioned in a Chronicle, but ORE was originally a capsuleer corporation, and now has two of the more popular mining barges that you can build made from them. In fact I know one of the co-founders personally, as he is part of the gaming group I used to play Counter-Strike with. . .
-
Any chance you could track down something link-able to verify that, Lilith? I'd LOVE to put something about that in the DYK blurbs, maybe even old RP media/propaganda or something too, wherever it fits. I'd never heard of that, but it sounds awesome :o
-
Did you know that the Intaki Liberation Front's "rampant griffin" corp logo was adopted after the pro-Federation corp The Durandal Organization created a logo using motifs similar to the ILF's original logo?
-
that the Sebestior has embraced the pet-name Sinister Ones, given to them by the Amarr?

I've not edited the snippet for now, as it says 'alliance' and ORE is a corporation?

my poast got sniped.
Added now, I think the first one got ate when the first thread went buggy.
-
eek! Sorry if I missed yours before, Soter; there was a bug with stickies and I failed at identifying it soon enough to fix it :oops:
-
...That Zegerth Kelja is the eccentric Sansha Underseer of True Slave Foundations?
Shameless self-plugin, but enough people back in the day seemed to like her a lot as a character. Let me know if things like this aren't allowed.

Did you know...
...that the Curse Alliance (CA) is the only alliance mentioned in the EVE Chronicles? (http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=23-apr-04)
I do also remember a few other nice bits of more conventional "lore", but I'll want to check the sources first. (For example, did you know that Ishukone manufactures the most pods? And Hyasyoda's killer product is the capsuleer docking bay? Both need a source, though...)
This isn't... entirely true. Although I suppose they weren't mentioned in a Chronicle, but ORE was originally a capsuleer corporation, and now has two of the more popular mining barges that you can build made from them. In fact I know one of the co-founders personally, as he is part of the gaming group I used to play Counter-Strike with. . .
I've not edited the snippet for now, as it says 'alliance' and ORE is a corporation?
Do a search for the character XaRiUs. He's the guy I know, and he created the O.R.E. Syndicate as a corporation. It was actually begun in Beta, and is no longer active but still exists (I think he was the last member).
The ticker of the capsuleer corporation was ORES, not ORE, everything else though was the same. They were pretty big in Beta and were the primary miner corporation and had a lot of input into mining and whatnot with the Devs and so the ORE barges were created in their honor.

Did you know...
The 'Heaven' constellation in Curse is the former location of the Third Jove Empire and the current headquarters of the vast Angel Cartel?
..is wrong (http://www.eveonline.com/background/potw/default.asp?cid=jul01)?
But many believe that there is another reason behind the power of the Angels. The Heaven constellation is the former habitat of the Jovians. The ancestors of the Jovians settled in Utopia while the EVE gate was still open. The Heaven constellation was the home of the First and Second Jovian Empires, both larger and grander than their current Third Empire.
The current (though possibly also fallen) Third Empire is in the A821-A and J7HZ-F regions.

TY, I'll fix it.

...that the Caldari-Gallente war started because simply because the Caldari were loath to create opportunities for any race other than themselves? (page 40, of The Empyrean Age)
...that the Caldari killed half a million people at at Nouvelle Rouvenor because the Gallentean's free-spirted nature and eagerness for trade grated on their nerves? (page 40, of The Empyrean Age)
...that in the Caldari State there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor because they refuse to trade with the other empires? (page 40, of The Empyrean Age)
...that the Federation Navy holds training sessions with the Republic because they need to be taught to be self-sufficient. However, even pilots as elite as the Federation Navy are unable to help the crumbling moral of the Republic military. (page 96, of The Empyrean Age)
...that Ishukone is the second largest corporation in the Caldari State but only has 300 Million employees? (page 131, of The Empyrean Age)
...that Ishukone was so poorly managed that even after the Jovian gift of the Hydrostatic-capsule saved the corporation once, it still nearly failed a second time but was saved by the acquisition of the Raven blue print by Orto Gariushi. Later, Gariushi brought the company to the brink of collapse a third time by embezzling investment funds to pay employee wages. (page 132, of The Empyrean Age)
...The traditional image of a Caldari CEO is manicured and overweight. (page 139, of The Empyrean Age)
...during Heth's rebellion, starving children were beaten to within an inch of their lives by the Caldari elite (page 140, of The Empyrean Age)
...the overnight Caldari rebellion, while inspired by the heroism of Heth, took place without any guidance, organization or coordination among the rebels. (page 140, of The Empyrean Age)
-
That while it is the second largest Caldari megacorp, the 300 million employees of Ishukone only make up 00.03% of the total population of the caldari State. (page 131 and 152, of The Empyrean Age)
The best and brightest of the Minimatar republic migrate to the Gallente Federation. (page 164, of The Empyrean Age)
Federation society is close to Utopia. (Page 174, of The Empyrean Age.)
The Minmatar republic is incompetent and corrupt. (Page 165, of The Empyrean Age.)
The Gallente Federation's Economy is so robust the building of Paradise worlds is a common and easy task for the Federation. (Page 165, of The Empyrean Age.)
It is a fact that not one Gallentean citizen is unemployed. (Page 176, of The Empyrean Age)
Every Gallentean citizen is provided free education and medical care. (Page 176, of The Empyrean Age)
The Federation Government would have secretly saved the failing Caldari economy, out of charity, if the Caldari hadn't invaded Caldari prime. (Page 178, of The Empyrean Age.)
In Minmatar tribal culture, ancient gods are worshiped at scared night clubs known as Raafa-kon. (Page 184, of The Empyrean Age)
Zero-G sex is sacred to the Minmatar. (Page 185, of The Empyrean Age)
All Caldari cities are utterly indistinguishable from each other. (Page 238, of The Empyrean Age)
The supposed Gallenteans committing hate crimes against ethnic Caldari during May of YC110 were actually disguised Caldari. The Gallenteans were completely innocent. (Page 240, of The Empyrean Age)

Hey, my tepuaavahabu (http://cruxmeander.blogspot.com/2009/08/linear-part-4-sky-beneath-her-feet.html) made it into PF. *coughs*
Though, er, if everything looks the same, how does this explain Oiritsuu's 'palace' in Wild Earth? ("When she had this place built, as much in the middle of a wilderness as she could make it without offending the people of the State, she added a greenhouse easily half the size of the entire palace. She spent most of her time there, patiently waiting for the world to catch up with her plans.")
-
Clearly all Caldari Cities have a palace with a green house.
-
Interesting flavour text, but I'm finding the "all"s a bit limiting and unlikely (and a couple of the statements were clearly written by tourists who misunderstood what they were seeing ;) ).
-
Nope. These are not written from the point of view of a character, they are exposition text. Except for the 'Federation is close to a Utopia', which is a quote from one of the CONCORD inner circle members. I couldn't resist putting that one in though, especially when the following chapter goes to show just how much of a utopia the Federation actually is.
These are all indisputable facts about the world our characters live in. I for one am looking forward to Templar One!
-
These are all indisputable facts about the world our characters live in.
Let's have a chat some day about authorial voices and biases.
Okay, I'll take the bait. Even if TEA says, for instance, that "The Minmatar republic is incompetent and corrupt", I interpret that as indicating a tendency rather than an absolute. I think there will be officials within the Republic trying to do the best they can. I think there will be a lot of interactions involving influence and gift-giving which are totally "the way the Tribes do things" and which will look like corruption to outsiders but will be understood and approved by cultural insiders. And I would find it unhelpful for nuanced roleplay and world-building to republish those statements as if they're just the indisputable way things are and any attempt to layer subtleties onto those aspects is urdoinitrong.

...the Jovians sometimes code in trinary?
...the Amarr Imperial Navy once awarded a Victor Emblem to soldiers on their 20th year of service?
...Gallenteans love porno, and the Amarrians and Khanids ban it?
...trafficked by the black market and used to control worker populations much like Vitoc, Amphere 9 is a synthetic drug banned in CONCORD space?

I looked through the other pages and didn't see it, so I apologize if it's on here, but I found this tidbit today, hadn't noticed it before:
... that CreoDron's advanced stasis webifier drone - the Spider drone - cannot be sold on the public market due to legal issues regarding the patent, but many were still produced for the Federation Navy, and many of those were stolen by the Serpentis and sold on the black market?

Did you know... Sansha Kuvakei was an industrial mogul before founding his Nation? Moar here. (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sansha%27s_Nation_%28Chronicle%29)
...The True Slaves are loyal, implant controlled slave troops of Sansha Kuvakei? Moar here. (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sansha%27s_Nation_%28Chronicle%29)
...that Frentix is a principle drug booster of Sansha's Nation? (I might need to do some more research on this. There's a Sansha commander who is notorious for running huge Frentix operations)
...that the Blood Raiders and the Sansha have occasional border disputes, despite being allies? (Citation needed lol)
Those came immediately to mind. The last one I'm sure I've read somewhere, but I'll probably have to reach into the dark corners of EVE to find the source again.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sansha's_Nation
Updating slightly.
...That the Blood Raiders, Sansha's Nation, and Guristas are allies more of mutual hatred for the empires than anything else?
...That True Slaves, after a variable period of time, become permanently apart of the Nation's ways?
...That True Citizens are those who seek out to join the Nation?
...That True Citizens are typically scientists, researchers, philosophers, and other intellectuals who have bought into Sansha's utopian vision?
...That Sansha's Nation doesn't have a traditional economy, to the point that currency doesn't exist?
...That Sansha Kuvakei's purpose for his Nation is a harmonious society of shared consciousness and boundless progress?
...That Sansha vessels are well-known for their alien aesthetics and advanced technology?

...That Kameiras are selected from all Matari, not just the Brutor?
...That Kameiras are raised by Amarrian women in specialized creches until the age of six?

...That the no one, including the Kameiras, knows the origin of their burial rituals?
...That the teaching of Kameiras that they are 'chosen' like the True Amarrians is a controversial, but effective method of control?

Well, with Source the marriage wouldn't even by deemed legal in the State. So it would be an informal one, or Federation recognized one. None of the mega benefits or organizational aspects would be given to the spouse.
Edit: I am rather happy they finally made it clear on this issue. Ends one of annoying perpetual debates on how same-sex marriage/LGBT are handled in the State.

Demographics on the Caldari State (https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Caldari_State#Caldari) made the LGBT issue very clear already. Source just backs it up.

It is more explicit. People still tried to argue after Demographics that they had same-sex marriages in the State, just simply not talked about in public or not organized by the corporations. This shuts the door on any kind of wiggle room. It is stated as illegal instead of something that is "not done" or just "avoided".

I'll have to read up on it more.

...that "šarrum" is Akkadian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_language) and means "king"? (The feminine form is "šarratum".)
-
...that 'Sarum' is the mediaeval latin name of Salisbury, one of the oldest settlements in England? It was also sporting a royal palace, built for King Henry I and subsequently used by Plantagenet monarchs and the Bishopric that developed the Sarum Rite variant of Roman Catholic Liturgy.
-
... that the Gallente Navy concluded in YC 111 that Sansha's Nation only has one wormhole-generation device? (IGS (http://eve-search.com/thread/1428311-0/page/1#14))
(I seem to be repeating that a lot lately on the IGS. Figured it wouldn't do any harm getting that added to the rotation here.)
-
...that Tibus Het is no longer director of Kaalakiota, as another DYK mentions erronously.
-
Not sure if this has already been posted, or if player-created lore counts, but here is a 'Did you know' :D
...that 'Wings of Valour' is a wildly popular Gallente Video-Game Series created by Gargatuan Games?
...that 'Wings of Valour: Coalition' is a cluster-wide MMO created by Gargatuan Games?
-
I believe this one may be outdated:
Boosters are banned because they cause a deadly, incurable brain disease?
-
So, here's a list of outdated links and the new links!
I have jabbed Silver Night with a mildly pointy stick and he's updating the Did You Knows, so this is for that!
I mostly used the wayback machine(hence the no archives section) to get what was originally linked to since CCP have a fetish for breaking links.
If you notice any that aren't updated/mentioned her, please also post it. Also if I have any that are wrong, please correct me.

First link: https://fiction.eveonline.com/new-eden/lore/Caldari
Second link: https://community.eveonline.com/backstory/chronicles/state-factionalism/
First link is actually this https://community.eveonline.com/backstory/races/caldari/corporate/ but the new fiction site is probably better. That still lists the CEO of KK as Tibus Heth, compared to the new page which just 404s if you click the Kaalakiota links.

"Did you know:Ishukone corporation manufactures the mind altering Transcranial Microcontroller? In the news recently and a few years ago."
No idea what this linked to. Both of the links lead to completely dead pages that don't help. Perhaps replace with news items regarding TCMCs. http://wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=Transcranial_Microcontrollers many are linked to here.
"Did you know:That Federal member states retain control of their home systems, as seen exercised here?"
https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/federal-navy-turned-back-at-intaki-stargate/
Wiki pages:
"Did you know:Ghost Festival is an Angel Cartel loyalist corporation? Read more here"
The link is to backstage but it doesn't exist.
"Did you know:As part of its political goal to make the State stronger economically, Lai Dai is the primary supporter of the School of Applied Knowledge. Check out more (and the expanded corp wiki template) here!"
This one is curious, the link isn't to the Lai Dai wiki page it's to this https://web.archive.org/web/20151011222422/http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Lai_Dai_Corporation_(NPC_Corp_v2_Test) which states that it isn't actually the correct page.
this is likely the correct page to link to, but maybe remove the bracketed bit unless there's a better wiki page to link to.
http://wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=Lai_Dai
No archives:
"Did you know:That following several months of dedicated research, the Synenose Accord held a public and widely attended conference in the shattered Seyllin system, site of the tragic Seyllin Main-Sequence event? See more here"
Dead link, no archive.
"Did you know:In YC110 Mixed Metaphor corporation declared war to stop distribution of the NHB Ultra Happy Chip™? It didn't work out."
Neither of these links have been archived and seem to be to old old old forums. If you know the thread titles you might be able to find them via google but I can't.
"Did you know:Starsi tastes like revenge?"
Same as the other old forum thing.
Googling the phrase leads to an oldforums archive and a backstage forum post. Backstage forums might be more reliable considering how often CCP likes to break links.
http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=279.0
"Did you know:That there was a Constitutional Convention sponsored by prominent Federal capsuleers, held in the Villore system? See more here"
No archive.
"Did you know:the Serpentis stole a Federation Navy Nyx, here is the news item"
The only archive is from 2016, which is a 404 page.
Gee that's helpful.
"Did you know:"Suuolo" is Caldari for friend? For more, read here"
No archive.
Broken links:
"Did you know:Many medical services are provided by AIs rather than human doctors? More on AIMEDs here."
Links to "http://http//wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=AIMEDs". need to remove the http//
Other:
"Did you know:that ships have crews"
Links to the All These Lives chronicle, which does feature ship crews but this might also be relevent http://wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=New_Eden_Crew_Guidelines though I think it's somewhat out of date.
"Did you know:The main ingredients in Protein Delicacies were in fact organic waste, processed station sewage and second grade biomass? For more, read here."
Currently links to http://wiki.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?title=Year_YC105#October which does have the information, but isn't directly related.
https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/quafe-spy-claims-organic-waste-biomass-main-ingredient-in-protein-delicacies/ this may be a better link, but it's up to you.
"Did you know:Kaalakiota, or KK, is the largest of the Caldari megacorporations, and is run by Tibus Heth."
Link is fine, information a smidge out of date.
"Did you know:That the Federal Defence Union has liberated all but six systems from Caldari occupation, precipitating a power struggle within the State?"
Prone to being very out of date.
"Did you know:That Blood Raiders have grandmothers? (The Burning Life)"
But do they have grand parties?
"Did you know:that Fiery Kernite once led to an epic bar brawl in the Syndicate, leading it to be called "Rage Stone"?"
Nothing technically wrong here, the link leads to a backstage wiki page but the page seems to be about refining stats. I have no idea if there's meant to be more information there or not so I'll note it here.
Also capital T.
"Did you know:That Band of Brothers killed the first titan in EVE?"
Link is fine, but the page it links to is a bit of a mess.
Bloodline links seem to go to a different site(Eve-wiki.net). If the information is from an official source it might be a good idea to add backstage pages for them instead.
"Did you know:That "because of Falcon" is passé?"
I note this one BECAUSE OF FALCON

Thank's Aradina! I'll be getting these updated over the next week or so hopefully. :D
This is also still open for submissions - so if anyone wants to they are free to submit new ones. I don't htink it's been updated for a while, we could probably use a few from more recently than like 5 years ago.

:cube:
Edit: I may aid in this endeavour. :)
