Recently CCP released a promotional video entitled:
Raise the Flag II: Amarr Victor: http://youtu.be/c5-b9TioIto?t=2m40s
This video prominently featured the catchphrase 'Amarr Victor'
This term is now widely used in EVE as a rallying cry for Amarrians.
What many of you may not know is where the term originated.
The first person to utter these now immortal words was Admiral Golan Trevize on PIE Inc fleet comms sometime in late 2003/early 2004 in the wake of a victorious PIE engagement with Minmatar terrorists. Despite the fact that Golan Trevize went on to abandon his Amarrian roots - succumbing to the temptation of the mercenary lifestyle - his catchy slogan was adopted by the loyalist pilots of PIE - and their allies in the Curatores Veritatis Alliance.
It made its offical forum debut in a post by the then PIE pilot Ethidium Bromide (who is still an active member of CVA over eight years later) relating to the Jove body parts affair: http://eve-search.com/thread/81292-0/page/4
It is fair to say that as CVA extended its grip on Providence through 'Operation Deliverance' ( http://eve-search.com/thread/121887-0/page/2#41 ) that more and more pilots in the EVE universe came into contact with the Amarr Victor slogan - until today it is one of the most recognised catchphrases in EVE...
I can obviously only conclude with:
Amarr Victor

I don't think that video is from CCP.....
Also, no mention of the phrase "Roma Victor"? There is a fine line between a post and a signature. |

My apologies - I thought it was a CCP video as spotted it via the CCP Facebook feed. Neverthless the 'history' of the term remains the same :-) |

I did not say that Golan was original - just that he was the first one to create the Amarrian version

You just made a post because you wanted to flash those boobs, or were expecting a nipple slip - right? |

influence and control are not the same thing
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Providence#sov
i know who -7- is.. old CVA allies (who like to shoot blues). i know who -E.E-'s (Raven's new alliance after the F.A. coup). Who is VOLT, 4th, SNF, C.F., TSOEC?
are they your blues? if not how can you claim to control provi.. does -A- still kick over your sandcastles? This High Sec vs Null sec pissing and gank fight is fracking up the economy.. stop being stupid people, miners provide the materials for the ships you fly. |

AMMAR VICTOR(Y)
Then, now and forever!
Its quite possible that Golan was drunk and forgot about the Y though and we just ran with it. - [img]http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/janus/ceosig.jpg[/img] [yellow]English only please. Zymurgist[/yellow] |

"Roma Victor" is terrible pidgin Latin, don't ever use it - "Roma Victrix" would be correct. An IPO guide (David H'Levi) | Towards a Positive Argument For Investing (RAW23) | Freighter Operations 101 (Kazuo Ishiguro) | Dominion market analysis (Akita T)
