News:

that the Minmatar military specifically recruits hardened criminals for service in its elite Valklear units, and that many of the Republic's most senior officers were originally recruited in this way?

Happy days!

"... the Way is a cyclical fad in the Gallente Federation, where Gallente youth have sometimes used it as a symbol of rebellion. Such practice is considered blasphemous and disrespectful, though most Caldari tend to simply dismiss it as 'Gallente being Gallente.'"

An important reminder for Placid RPers

One day they woke me up
So I could live forever
It's such a shame the same

 :eek: So much PF...

Some of these articles are massive. Slavery is humungous, as is Ni-Kunni...hopefully we'll see the other bloodlines fleshed out to such a degree.

Have not gotten through all of yet but already spotted some good parts such as limiting the "official" information on the four ancient races, thereby allowing for more A'J wriggle room. Also highlighting different valid theories for our origins was superb.

And best of all is that the information I have collected in the Lorebook has not become redundant.

Except... Arzad Hamri. If this information now is spreading among capsuleers there will be another topic for the Amarr-Minmatar to argue about.

And ups, w-space is in a distant galaxy? That will break some bones.

Speaking of ancient stuff, apparently the Jin-Mei might be an offshoot of the Yan Jung...

I guess I am one of those academics... (shameless link) Good to get another reference to work with.

There's some excellent stuff in here.

There's also some content that reads as if a keen but misinformed Mercury volunteer was trying to connect the dots of the randomly-generated planetary data. And when that affects Matar I care. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Matar

According to this they've canonised Matar being 85% water (which I believe was originally an error of the random planet-skinning) and an average of 32 degrees C (which, unless being a water planet really changes the maths, isn't "especially conducive to hosting life" as we know it: Earth's average temperature is around 15 degrees C, and we're really quite concerned about a 2-degree rise).

The Sebiestor homeland of Mikramurka has been turned into the continent of Mikramura (typo?). [Edited to note that this has now been fixed.]

The page doesn't seem to have a discussion page that I can edit. Does anyone know a good way to report PF "bugs"?

Soekheviti is again in Sol?

Also, another oddity: Muriya Mordu, the current commander of Mordu's Legion is the original Mordu? I mean, wouldn't that make him over 200 years old? I also thought for some reason he might be a capsuleer, that would kind of explain that... except that pretty sure he'd be then older than ol' Alex Noir, and another veteran of the Caldari-Gallente War. Unless Noir's biography is to be read "only remaining Gallente veteran". However, it would be kind of logical that if there's a Mordu heading Mordu's Legion Command, we'd be having something on the likes of grand-grand-grandsons of the Mordu.

Nice. Very nice.


But...

Quote
A species of animals described as “fuzzy, pink teddy-bears” with grotesquely large eyes and mouths are used by the Amarr as a torture method. They are capable of saying “we... wuv... you” over and over. They were intended for children, but they were apparently found too unsettling. However, they manage to be effective at breaking prisoners, presumably because of how creepy they are.

Whut?

Oh god.  I remember that being in one of the Chrons, 'Methods of Torture: the Amarr' IIRC.  Though I thought they were some kind of automaton, not an animal...

I'm reminded of a thread someone made on IGS about a similar toy. I think Aphoxema wrote it?

Lagging Behind

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.

I always assume those averages are to mean in the middle of the planet, as opposed to overall. Otherwise every temperate planet in game is too hot.

Probably a typo.

There should be a discussion page you can edit. I certainly see one.
