everyone will cheat, especially if they are against you.

What if I were to tell you I created a Minmatar whose magical tattoo depicts the Admiral drinking poisoned tea?

I'd ask where the hell you were partying.

No point getting upset about something that has been happening since EVE started.

Just deal with it like in the past, point a finger and laugh at the village idiot.

[Lithium Flower]

And what to do, if my other predictions (that were sounding like crazy, and still I think people think I am and these predictions are crazy), they were before the chronic, were confirmed by the chronic? 

[Sepherim]

IIRC, in the Fiction subforum of EVE Online, some mod stablished that chronicles that feature only private scenes (like this one, which happens inside the quarters of Heth, or the latest chronicle with Jamyl for example) are not known to us, but only explained so we as players know what's happening. But not our characters. Sorry but I don't have the time now to surf the web looking for the topic, though.

On the other hand, I agree with Gwen, sometimes it's just too obvious to be hidden for long, but since it was told OOC it's hard to know where the IC/OOC barrier lies. This case is clear in that sense, as some people in the mentioned topic are actually giving good arguments to why she is dead. Of course, there should be people arguing against that, but it's hard to argue for something you know is wrong. I remember something similair happened to old-seph because he had a theory that the Minmatarr and others (specially the Jove) had a parallel network of gates to move through for a number of reasons... and when the Elder Fleet came, he could no longer use that argument because it was OOC knowledge that the Elder Fleet had been built on such a place; or when he disliked Jamyl.

So, I guess the point here, as in regard to the topic of arguing if someone is or not dead, depends on how good the arguments are. If someone comes with valid arguments that don't use OOC knowledge, I would agree they could have come to those conclussions had they not had OOC help. Of course, it certainly helped probably, but at least that char bothered to argue with IC knowledge, which is good. If they don't...

Perpetual defection is the only strategy left when tit-for-tat is not an option.

The strangest thing to see is an aged tyrant, and Heth is showing more than a little gray around the temples these days.

[Anslol]

The fact that Yanala's been gone a bit could raise concerns sure, but I have to agree with others here about flat out saying 'she's dead, Jim.' Speculation is one thing, but some times I see an outline of why people think she's dead that's basically an outline of the damned chronicle.

I mean in private between some people RPing is one thing, sure. But grand accusations on a major hub like Summit or IGS? ....eh. How hard would it be to even get files on what happened? Not even directly related, but semi-related. For instance...purchase order of the suicide tea to a station known to hold Yanala's clones, or perhaps a special transportation manifest with off exclusions, potentially hinting at a high level person being transported. Or what about absence of evidence?

"Hey Jiaasu, where's the records for that clone post-decant? I can't find treatment logs to file for her," said Viako.

Jiaasu gave his co-worker a quick glance from his side before forcing his sight back to his screen, hoping to continue his existence as a simple data manager and stay away from any unneeded politics. "Quarantined. Orders from our Supervisor. Check your mail and drop the topic.

Viako blinked before scrolling through his mail box on a separate entopic overlay. He furrowed his brow at the message from their boss, wondering why someone as strictly adherent to perfect record keeping would keep a record hidden. His stomach churned slightly as butterflies of anxiety fluttered within him. Goh never did anything like this, not even for Oritsuu. The young data entry specialist couldn't help but wonder what was going on. 'I have a bad feeling about this,' he thought to himself.

[Shintoko Akahoshi]

I've just gotten to the point where I treat all the "No, this is what happened! Really!" types as probably nuts. They're the Eve universes version of Obama birthers or flat earthers. Smile and nod and don't make eye contact with them.

Don't tell me you're one of those round-earthers. What a ridiculous notion that is. Can you honestly not understand that the people on the bottom of the world would fall off, that those on the slopes would have to cling on for their very lives, and that all the oceans would drain away?

Try pouring water on a ball and see what happens to it. Does it coalesce into tiny oceans or lakes, or does it run off, leaving at most a very thin layer of moisture that quickly dries up into nothing? There's your round earth theory.

Ah, but see.  What if it was a sponge ball?  Would the water run off, or soak in?

[Esna Pitoojee]

Regarding the actual posting of chronicle links in the thread: There is an ISD (I think it's LackofFaith) who patrols the IGS for that kind of thing and has made it abundantly clear in the past that 'private' chronicles are exactly that - private. Reporting it will probably get that taken care off, at least.

[Makkal]

Problem solved.

[Morwen Lagann]

Problem solved.

Problem solved? Not quite. Two months is a ridiculously long time for them to sit on their asses before revealing such a crucial piece of information that they should have had in their hands almost immediately. All it does at this point is feed into the conspiracy theories.

The CEP investigation will probably reveal that she actually did clone successfully two months ago - and that is when the shit will hit the fan.

[Makkal]

I meant the specific problem of characters knowing she was dead without sufficient evidence.
