Ah, there is that too.

And even funnier, pushing it a bit more far and you basically can't explain scriptures to someone ICly since it would imply using your own words and sentences to describe them. Even literally.

[Nicoletta Mithra]

Of course. All that there is to be said about Scripture is what it does say itself, according to EVE: Source. :< *derp*

I don't really like replying to threads that I've formally backed out of, but this one apparently isn't dying.

Though I largely support Source, on that part I agree that it's a bit iffy but I'm not sure if we want to read into it too literally. Definitive source or not, people make mistakes and there's a few areas where that's clearly done in the book. Especially glaring is the mistaken date of Midular's assassination, where the book claims it was in 113 instead of 115--I don't think anyone here would argue that that was an intentional retcon of the date. It's probable that the writers didn't really think about the implications of that line.

Has anyone asked one of the writers for clarification on if that was the intent? Source is intended to be the baseline moving forward, but it's very, very easy to write something thinking it means one thing only to have it imply something else entirely. I've considered sending a PM about it myself, but I'm not sure I'd be able to phrase the issue as well as other people have.

Of course, if it was intended to be read that way then I have to agree that it was a bad change to make.

That one is great!

I have pointed out the complications of this line (and others) to a CCP employee asking for opinions on Source while Falcon sat next to him: It got ignored.

[Samira Kernher]

I'll try sending a PM then. Maybe I'll get better luck.

[Nicoletta Mithra]

As I don't have contact to the CCP employees responsible, I'd appreciate that. One can always try. Crossing fingers for you, here.

[Samira Kernher]

Well I don't have any special contact or anything, just PMs on the official forums. Falcon at least definitely had involvement with Source and answered my previous PMs, so I'll send one to him.

I got mine today, in hardback. Having not read it yet, I can only give my opinions of the physical object and god damn CCP know how to make a sexy book.

[Nicoletta Mithra]

The physical book isn't at all what CCP made. ^^ If anythin, CCP knows how to choose someone who can make a sexy book. <,<

Any luck, yet?

[Samira Kernher]

Haven't gotten around to writing it yet. Been a bit busy this week.

[Nicoletta Mithra]

Okay.

Nothing about Kameiras

I still love my book though.  It was nice to have Aya's political assertions and ideals confirmed in source.   

The capsule stuff came as a bit of a shock though.
