The issue isn't whether it is theoretically possible, it is whether it seems reasonable for a player to write explicit CONCORD corruption into their backstory.

[Samira Kernher]

Of course they are not immune. But one example doesn't hint at a generality of bloated corruption, especially since here it points at a few moles and corrupted agents, where wardecs and the likes are bureaucratic mechanisms involving the whole CONCORD administrative procedures.

I was responding to Katrina, who was claiming that they are completely incorruptible because one article says so.

[Katrina Oniseki]

Fair enough. I probably misinterpreted it. Perhaps the article I linked was saying the DED as a whole is incorruptible, rather than the individual agents. Systemic widespread corruption is simply not possible, for whatever reason.

You shouldn't care so much about canonicity.

Or rather: you should care as much about canonicity as you do in real life.

What is canon in real life? Wikipedia, what you read in your history books, what your priest tells you, what your parents told you, what you see on YouTube?

Just apply the same principle to EVE, and you'll have a lot less to worry about. EVE is not a religious order after all, its a virtual world.

Agree.  Just like I tell my kids when reading history books or news articles, consider the author and the point of view/agenda they may be trying to push. [Eve source comment moved to that thread]

Also, just as any egregious disregard of what should or should not be possible according to the PF will be rejected (and therefor policed) by the RP community so will a relatively minor transgression be allowed in the pursuit of good stories and fun. PF is not complete and sometimes unclear or outright contradictory but it is also like the Pirate Code, more like guidelines than actual rules. Nobody will sweat the mistakes that don't matter and everybody will help to correct the ones that do. In the end it's more about fun than adhering to an absolute and unquestionable canon.

[Lyn Farel]

It's all relative. To some fun is the opposite of following the canon. To some others, fun is found in following the canon. vOv

This sounds so Amarrian.
