As a veteran of the War on Terror, with multiple foreign deployments under my belt, where I actually put my life on the line to defend the freedoms of people who didn't even truly understand them yet...I find your accusations incredibly offensive. Your intent may be to advocate freedom of speech and individuality, but I'm seeing a lot of inherent prejudice in your statements that is at odds with this message.
Cut the patriot nonsense . If you had the brains to look closer maybe you would realize that the enemy is a lot closer to home . War on terror ? can one wage war on a tactic ? Cut the crap and get informed , the enemy of the American people is the American Government . What you think of my accusations is not relevant because i am not here to please anyone but to tell the truth as it is . Oh and one more thing : 9 / 11 Inside Job !

Yes i am the one who made the comments in the clown story , i was not roleplaying and i stick by them . I have praised the grim dark thing in Eve to a degree but like i said in a previous post : this one i did not like . Not all stories are the same i need not like the grim dark in all of them .

You have mentioned the fact that the chronicles are freely available , this is true however i ask you the simple question : Who is the target of the stories , who is most likely to read them ? Obviously the player base . My point still holds .
You stated that EvE is based on senseless violence , this is false . While it may appear so at first sight , fighting in Eve is anything but random for the big players at least . And of course you are ignoring the fact that EVE is what the players who play it decide it is . You have basically slapped the face of every industrial and miner character .
You accused me of a double negative , congratulation you have found a typo in my message , i have typed an extra word .
Diversity ? Again i remind you that things are not relative and will never be relative . Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder . If you want to embrace filth in the name of political correctness feel free to waste your money . Or maybe you would like to hire unskilled workers in the name of diversity and political correctness ? See how well that works for you ! People are not and will never equal . This is evident to anyone with two neurons to rub together , feel free to think what ever you wish about my character . Does it make me a coward to say 2 + 2 = 4 and not 5 ? Well then i guess i am a coward . People are not equal and will never be so , no amount of liberal / socialist nonsense will change that .
You asked if maybe is good that you insult crap too . Sure it is , but so far you are able to tell the difference between value and crap . What you do is so typical of the brainwashed masses of today : appeals to sentimentality , ignoring argument and snide remarks .
You are correct in saying about the good and evil remark that it was what i perceived . And i still do : you defended darkness as the way of the universe . As for what it may be saying about me , well no one is stopping you from writing just about any made up charge .
Fun is good , have fun , that is why we play Eve . If you truly care you will review my posts maybe you will understand some things , if not then you can go back to snide remarks , typo hunts and complete avoidance of serious argument .
Make sure to vote for what ever socialist candidate you desire , i hear Obama is not quite done ruining USA yet . ô Free Health care because all men are created equal ô just wait and see how well that works for you .

I think the Mark Twain reference is to "The Mysterious Stranger". It is a story of which several versions exist about Satan, a nephew of the famous Satan also called No 44.

I've seen freed slaves dying in happiness moments after disembarking from refuge vessels, on stretchers, on the cold floor of a for them alien station's landing dock. I can relate to 47's state of mind just before succumbing to the slavehound. Which he did, since the beast does not know compassion, only instinct. And hunger..
I can also see the true nature of the so called 'king'. The corruption and falsehood. The parasitic abuse of the very basic beliefs of his own race.
For me he is the true Amarr, revealed.

Bingo! It was oblique, mind; the Heart of Darkness references (particularly with the first paragraph of the story) were intended to stand out a lot more.
Edit: I read The Mysterious Stranger - several versions of it, since Twain never completed the story - when I was much younger, and I never forgot it. It's one of the first occasions I can remember when I read something and realized how immensely deep and strange literature could be. It ranks up there with The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren - the books are very different, but the darkness creeping around the edges is there in equal measure.

you know, I was starting to wonder if you people were only concerned with the absolute darkness of eve. Jita 4-4, Xenocracy, desert fathers (just too name a few) were solely concerned with the idea that human beings were cruel and would always be cruel. With no possibility of anything else.
But with chronicles like Rust Creeps, and the Rite, you get to see that human beings aren't just cruel people, who's sole reason for existance is to cause misery and suffering before they drift off to obscure death. Sure this king might be another form of control, but at least he gives these prisoners some sense of being/peace.
So bravo on the chronicle. Glad to see you fine people an ccp can write something more then chronicles about death, and destruction. __________________________________________________ HK-47: "Can I kill him master?

Ending is kinda, vague, like the "less is more" thing is going on here. I don't know it's ok. We really don't know if the slaver hound changes it's mind and eats old 47, do we? It's implied that the hound leaves him alone? So, so ending I suppose.

Originally by: kinky ho im not sure who writes these things but they all seem as if they are trying far to hard....if you know what i mean, they lack tallent and direction and give away to much too soon
One who lacks the capacity for impeccable grammar himself should not criticise the content, and general capacity of the author, when the critic himself likely has little to no grasp of the very story he/she is criticising.
What was the last book, or piece of writing you had published?
..... I didn't think so....

Ever get the feeling that Abraxas is one of those people you meet maybe 2 or 3 times in a lifetime? usually at 4 or 5 in the morning in a quiet corner of an after party - and they blow your mind?

Yeah, hi, and sorry for late reply. Just figured the last one was late enough to tag onto. :) Anyway, I must be at least as crazy as I think, cause I don't see half the problems with these stories that apparently stares so many others in the face. Forced? Nope. If anything, we should be worried at how -un-forced these tales of death, despair and survival is. :)
As for dark and gloomy....well, yeah. how fun would it be to read about someone living in a gallente highrise? Same thing as why the news are so scarce in the Real World(tm) about anything other than disasters and misfortune. why people slow down when going past a carwreck. Bad News are interesting. reports of people going about their business in a carefree fashion is not.
Anyway, King Slaver. Seems plainly evident to me that all those folks that seemed 'untouchable' were ones who'd already taken that trip to the King. Hence, most or all of them would have encountered a slaver. As for why the creature might not have attacked/eaten him....maybe it knew he wouldn't taste good? :P I don't know. I just can't see him fail to return to camp. especially if the whole thing is arranged to break him and his ilk down to size for reprogramming. Chances are that thing he was given to eat by the King provided some kind of signal, of sorts, warning the beast off...or perhaps indeed seeing him as a fellow slaver.
Thank you. Great stuff, folks. Haven't read a chronicle I didn't like yet.

I think this was a good story, and I enjyed it, but it was kind of slow paced.
On a side note:
When I saw the title, I thought it was similiar in-line with some EVE Fan-Fiction I am still working on, but semi-abandoned due to lack of ideas. It is kind of similiar, as it involves slaver hounds, but it is actually totally different in alot of ways. I would describe it but I am not sure that it is a good idea to do it in public. -- I WANT MY TAX REFUND! |
