First off sorry for making new topic without reading this one trough. thanks to Fi Vantage For the Link's lots of fun and lucrative information there.
Again then to my question regarding the ships and it's crew, Magnus Nordir mentioned a Frigate is = 0-10 crewmen and then upwards did he mean that a cruiser have up to 100 battle cruiser 1000 and upwards from there?.
second of. is there any larger Minimatar/gallente alliances that like the cva amarr one? i looked around and found one called ushra khaan but people i asked about them said they are just regular low sec alliance thees days. :( Read a story about the cva - khaan wars sounded like that must have been plenty fun :D
Thanks in advance and sorry for being a complete newbie with maybe to many stupid questions

Your sources misinformed you. Ushra'Khan are still around and a lot of them are based in 0.0 although they don't hold their own territory anymore and are working closely with the Against All Authorites (-A-) alliance.
They still try and terrorise Holy Amarrian Providence and the CVA still tries to stop them. Ushra'Khan seems to have enjoyed a bit of a renaissance recently and have had a growth in numbers and activity. You may find some of their recruiting threads in the recruitment section.
Hope that helps! ----- Alliance Creation/Corp Expansion Services

Okay, rather than post this in the actual thread itself, I'm going to post it here, in the only validly OOC part of this whole forum and link it.
I apologize in advance if what I say comes across as being a personal attack - I'm trying to shoot for "creative but very stern criticism" here.
@Magnus Nordir: I hope I can speak on behalf of the entire IGS when I say that none of us have a problem with you playing the insane megalomaniac bastard that you're playing. I daresay a few of us would prefer that you were a little more toned down at times, but at the end of the day, it's your RP, you're free to do what you like with it, within reason.
But alts? Alt characters popping up like goddamn mushrooms to back up your character's "theories" or present a different take on them? That is not within reason. I imagine that there are lamer practices, but I'm at a loss to think of one right now.
Deny it all you like, I see a thirteen-day-old School of Applied Knowledge character with no employment history and no reasonable way to have even encountered these "theories" before, let alone start calling you "Master" Nordir and whatnot, and not only am I automatically going to assume "Alt", I'm also going to be fething RIGHT in that assumption.
For God's sake man, stop being such an attention whore and just get on with the roleplaying. Find your niche, some allies, some foils, and try to let somebody else have the spotlight every once in a while. What you're doing with these alt posts is like entering a room full of people having pleasant conversations, then running around with a giant neon arrow strapped to your head, shouting "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!" through a megaphone and occasionally paying people to barge into the room and loudly discuss how awesome you are. It'd be obnoxious in a real-life situation, and it's obnoxious here as well.
It is NOT necessary to have characters like Paasio Hisokanen enter the IGS at random and start making threads about how Nordir's "Revolutionary ideas" are or whatever. We get it, you like your own RP angle and wish more people would agree with it ICly. That isn't going to happen so long as you insist on playing it so... coarse and unbelievable.
Tone it down. Leave the alts out. You don't need to adjust Magnus' behaviour very much, but you DO need to adjust it, otherwise all you're going to succeed in doing is alienating and irritating all the other RPers. We're here for social interaction between varied (and oft-times crazy) individuals with strong personalities. What we're not here for is to watch one charicatured "insane" clown attempting to parade around and be the center of attention with a gaggle of puppets to back him up. You could be trolling, in which case well done sir- you've gotten the response you wanted. Now please stop.
TL;DR version: You're being antisocial and annoying, and I'm sick of it. Stop posting with alts. - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain. |

Just thought I'd clear this up: I am not, and never will, pay for a second eve account just for forum alts. I have three characters on this one, yes, but the number of my "supporters" has somewhat exceeded two, wouldn't you say?

I keep coming across people on the IGS stating that CONCORD has declared AI research illegal. I don't recall seeing any reference to this in prime fiction, indeed a few stories have characters interacting with AI's in mainstream society.
Does anyone know where this notion has come from? Regards,

Ok trying to get some more info again :) regarding this with Crew in ships. been reading most of al the history storys now and from what i undertand there are ships with captain - crew the whole deal, but from what i also understand capsuleers are a but special and have there capsule from witch they steer there ship and can alos eject the pod etc.
So how does Eve RP community run? do you mostly RP's as normal captains / crew members or as capsuleers?
And is there an ingame chat for "help with RP" i stink at it and not sure how to where to start.

Would also like to know if there's an in-game channel for RP Help. I consider myself a pretty average RP'er, but theres till issues that I wonder.
Never really RP'ed in EVE before, only now am I starting to take an interest in it. I've written a bio, and have had it in my in-game character bio for quite a bit, but wanted to post it on the forum. Whats the general outlook on this? Is it more interesting to keep a bio quiet and let it unfold as I talk to people? So far, its in a state where Hriskarr seems to have collected all of his thoughts and retold his life so far.
Another thing, I've noticed that the in-game 'Summit' channel seems to be pretty quiet. Short of joining an RP corp, how else can I find people willing to RP? I've had people look at my bio before in-game, and RP with a few sentences, but never anything lasting.
Cheers.

There's a number of decent IC Channels around. The Last Gate, and the Skyhook are both pretty good. There's also an OOC Channel called 'OOC' where all the RP'ers hang out. Kinda.

Okay, maybe it's time to tone down on the historical references to Earth. Lots of people have been naming specific historical events and countries of late, and I think it's a little too far-fetched. Bear in mind that even the existence of Earth and the whole EVE gate story is at best a highly-credible and widely accepted archeological theory. That being the case, it's a bit anachronistic for people to be discussing the politics of the USA or the second world war.
Bear in mind that EVE is set further into the future than humans have had a written history for, and that's after the EVE gate collapse which was in turn several millennia into our future. Not only that, but our understanding of the political systems in our own countries prior to the 19th century or so are likely deeply flawed and inaccurate, so for a New Eden pod pilot to comment with any authority on the politics of America (for example) is... jarring.
My advice is to use in-universe arguments rather than using modern-day historical references. - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain. |

Edited by: Koronakesh on 10/04/2009 01:07:11 Mind you, Earth itself is known about in a distant, mythical manner. For instance, it's known in-character that the 24 hour day and leap year calendar are based off Earth's. Basically, Earth can be talked about, but in the same way we'd talk about a slightly more real Atlantis.

I quite agree with you, even though I am one of the guilty parties. In the case where I posted "real-world" information, I did try to frame in the context that it was mythology to make it less jarring
To be honest, the main reason for my post was to quiet down those who were taking the thread away from its relevant in-game purpose.
I think my post did quell the earth history discussion, but I wish I had hadn't had to make it in the first place.

I'm somewhat new to the game, and come from a background of roleplay. One of the tricky elements in trying to RP out of the gate in a new game, is trying to learn the game, but also roleplay from a degree of common knowledge (in terms of society and mythology).
That is, any character will most likely know of basic history, regarding the empires' political and economic evolution - as well as basic profession skill-sets. Also, there will be many references to New Eden culture. However, the player will be still very green.
One roleplay personality that would work is by portraying a character who is very serious-minded. A character that is reserved. That way he doesn't say or do anything that is contradictory to established lore.
It is an approach that has worked with me in the past with other MMORPGs. And I'm hoping it does for me this time around in EVE as well. And, as I become more confident in knowing how to play the game, I can start loosening up his personality and maybe do a couple of "personal quests" that help explain/justify the change in his demeanor/mannerisms.

Just something I'd like to point out to all of the newer RP-ers, and this may actually be a help to the people like Jigger.
The universe of EVE is vast. Incredibly so. No one person or even group could ever possibly know everything about the history and background of any other group.
For instance, it is impossible for me, as an Amarrian, to know of every tradition, custom, historical occurrence or reference, mannerism, etc. of the Gallente Federation. It's just too big. There would have to be far too much detail for anyone to remember or even fathom it all.
The same would hold true for members of the same society, even. A person born and raised on Aunia III (random example) would find the people of Dodixie V to be mostly similar (both being from the same general culture) but there would be vast amounts of information that the Aunian would not know. Everything from clothing style and architecture to food preference, to local hero's and famous persons would be different and new and, frankly, quite alien. Public greetings (shaking hands as opposed to waving hello) and mannerisms would also be different.
Trust me, I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, was first stationed at Ft.Hood, Texas, and thought I had stepped into another country until I got used to the people I was now living with. My first visit to Japan and Germany made me think I had gone to another planet. People from other cultures and societies are just plain weird. I may like a lot of them, and admire a lot of them, but they are still weird. They do things for reasons that arent the same as I would do or have, and that makes them alien to me. It can be disconcerting, but you eventually get over it, mostly.
So, if you want to RP as someone that comes from a planet in the Caldari State where they eat only with their left hand (random trait, feel free to insert something else) and consider belching at the table to be good manners, then go ahead and do that. If you want to RP as a Matari warrior that is cool and rational and calm, then do that, you can even say that these things are favored by your clan.
You can make up almost anything, really, with regards to backstory and history and family and such, and if its a bit strange, pass it off as being "one of those things" that your particular sub-section of your society does.
For example, my RP House has certain ideas about religion and slavery and such that frankly, do not jive with the stereotypical Amarrian mindset. I get away with this by claiming to be both relatively small and inconsequential to the Empire as a whole (why send a battlefleet to squash a House thats not really hurting anything and isnt going to overthrow you tomorrow, we have bigger fish to fry) and by having my House come from one of the planets on the fringes of Amarrian space (You know those frontier/backwoods/back-country people, crazy nut-jobs, every one of them).
This is actually a typical example of how even members of the same society can regard the customs and mannerisms of others in their own society to be strange, but acceptable. I also highly doubt that, since history tells us this is a prevalent human attitude, it will change much by the time EVE rolls around. So use it. I am really getting tired of the "cookie cutter" psycho's, madmen, and stereotypical characters running around. Please, for the love of whatever God you believe in, use your imagination!
