Hi.

I play CC. He's pretty cool. I'm pretty cool too, sometimes. I forgot to register on here weeks ago, but I did, so now I'm saying hello, officially. Hi! Looking forward to stuff. All sorts, all kinds, all types and places. Generally RP.

On a slightly more serious note, I've been in EVE for around two and a half months at this point, roleplaying on and off within. Before that, though, I've had my hands arms-deep inside City of Heroes, The Secret World, WoW, a variety of text roleplays on various forums, and even Garry's Mod as a medium. EVE is pretty great, though, so I don't plan on going anywhere.

Sincerely hoping to get to know more of you on a better level, since you all seem pretty awesome.

Recognize your name from EVE-O or possibly elsewhere.

Hopefully, you will get into the thick of whatever things happen to tickle your RP fancy. Federation RP seems to be the least robust amongst the nations, but there are active Gallente RPers around the cluster.

Plenty of knowledgable vets here who make a great collective resource on lore, as long as you like :words:.

Enjoy!

I do indeed love words. I use them, sometimes.

I find it really odd how Fed RP is the weakest, but it makes sense if all the Gallente are off and about in foreign nations and planets, talking 'bout freedom to everyone. Even moreso, considering the capsuleer lifestyle is possibly the most freedom one could ever have (if you're lucky enough to be genetically compatible, that is).

Anyway, I do so appreciate it. I'll be sure to ask around for lore-wise things, since there's a ton of internal and external politics I'm not even half-way close to understanding right now.

Fed RP used to have more stuff, but then so did everyone.

I think the biggest problem is that Fed RP is the hardest to define; while the other three nations have fairly clear objectives, social norms, and internal/external conflicts, the Fed suffers because its goals are most commonly defined as just "freedom, yo." This leaves people in an awkward position - it's harder to specify a single unifying dynamic when the Federation's apparent dynamic is to do anything.

Second thing is that while the other three empires often come off as inherently militaristic - Amarr crusaders, Caldari jackboots, Minmatar freedom fighters terrorists, etc. Gallente gets stereotyped as freedomland so much that a lot of people don't view them as militarily inclined. In a game that's so heavily biased towards combat and fighting, that can be an issue.

This is of course only the result of a cursory look at Federaiton PF and themes - there's plenty of room for internal and external conflicts and goals. But, like Amarr being stereotyped into "racist slavers" or Minmatar into "ducttape-wielding noble savages", most people these days tend to only skim the top.

There's a reason I often make the joke that in the sense that the lack of a cohesive "Gallente RP bloc" means that the Gallente RPers are "doing it right"...

Frankly there has always been an untamed potential with Fed Navy RP related stuff. Old alliances like Acheron and corps like Strix did it right by playing the hawkish side of the fed with a lot of military RP involved.

[Charles Cambridge Schmidt]

Weird. Well, I'll see what I can do with what I'm given, I suppose.

Thank you all for welcoming me! Much appreciated. Now all there's left to do is lurk even more! Not really. _Maybe.

[Ché Biko]

Welcome backstage.

Ché doesn't like the Roden administration. Other than that, I think Morwen is right.
