The Amarr are the Roman church in space. They wear hoods so you can't see them leering at your children. Everyone knows that!

My time spent running with the Minmatar, though informative, has proven itself to be an error of youth; nothing more than a foolish act of animal rebellion against the order of civilization. I am older now, and wiser. Though there are individual Minmatar of whom I am still fond, most of the lot has proven themselves to be nothing more than traitorous, self-serving mongrels, allowing their own petty jealousies to divide them. During my time in the Minmatar Militia, the Matari spent just as much time shooting at rival groups as they did shooting the Amarr. It is only by sheer numbers that the Matari are able to hold any portion of the warzone. I was once impressed by the brash swagger and strut of a Brutor male; but now I see it for what it truly is - nothing but mere posturing. A true warrior, with true skill, needn't boast. ... I know very few Amarr who need pound their chest on the battlefield.
It is for these and many more reasons that I have moved my assets to Amarr space and look forward to serving the Empire on the battlefield; I know that my prowess in combat will only improve alongside my Amarrian colleagues, and I will be serving a just and noble cause for the glory of God.

LMAO... only reason you moved as LP at T2 is bad and you get higher LP by moving to Amarr which is higher.. I am sure you will see the error in your ways and return when the tide turns..

My former corp, Rifterlings, and Swift Angels lived in the same system; Sirekur. Our relationship was always cordial and supportive of each other. But now, behold the treachery of the Matari in this one's venomous words.
Believe it or not "senior moment", I still fight for the freedom of the Matari - to free them from the chains of the true slavery of poverty and darkness and to steer them on the path to God. Everyone vs Everyone Xuixien - Space Cat, Queen of Rens |

These words are coming from a pilot in a corporation who's leadership saw fit to leave Ushra'Khan simply because the executor said "I like Xuixien and the rest of Rifterlings." Such is the chaotic and egotistical nature of the Matari people. Everyone vs Everyone Xuixien - Space Cat, Queen of Rens |

No it was the right move regardless. I corp needs an alliance that stands behind it regardless of the executors personal feelings toward someone. DeT made the right move at the time and it is still the right move. It's a fine point. |

Could have sworn that this was going to be a thread about FW being fundamentally unbalanced by Cynthia's Quint-boxing.
Since we're talking from essentially an RP perspective -
Most of the Minmatar in FW (Electus Matari aside - but they live in their own personal bubble anyway) are extremists if not outright genocidal already. So I'm not sure what Zarnak was getting at with his proposition to make Minnies genocidal.
The Republic gets painted too nicely, really. Could even things out if more attention was given to the stories of the Republic race riots - the Minmatar inherently a xenophobic, fractured race - the beating to death of their fellow Minmatar who preach the Amarr faith, the razing of peaceful Amarr settlements, the constant failings of the Republic to look after it's own people, etc.
Remember - the Amarr and the Minmatar had signed a peace treaty. The Minmatar broke that treaty. They're the terrorists.

You essentially repeated my point. Minmatar and the republic are painted too nicely. When someone joins FW on this side they have a choice between:
Minority Ex-Slaves Rebels Nominal Republic
Vs.
Mostly white Religious fanatics Slave Owners Monarchy
It doesn't get more black and white then that. It shouldn't be black and white. Most players don't roleplay but it is hard not to be subconsciously affected. Quite a few people joined Minmatar first before realizing they really weren't the underdogs and switching sides- myself included. |

Reading comprehension fail on my part; yeah, got to agree. EVE is meant to be a 'shades of grey' environment, CCP really ****** the duck on that when they wrote the Minmatar/Amarr war. The grey is there, but your average player isn't going to search for it. Trading chains for shackles, I am free. |

Because all the cool kids in Null are using Napocs as a line ship for their fleet doctrines- so they are actually worth more than Minmatar Faction ships- so while plexing for Minmatar might have more LP available, plexing for Amarr has a higher LP/ISK ratio right now.

I thought the history was the Amarr invaded Matari space to bring them into the fold, and the Matar took advantage of a situation to rebel against their so-called betters. Or have I read that wrong? You can fool some of the people all of the time. You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can make a fool out of yourself anytime.

As a noob I can tell you that the only reason I chose Minmatar over Amarr is that the Min's ships look better (Firefly TV series style) and I was able to wear a Freddie Mercury mustache. But I must admit that I was tempted by ships with friggin laser beams. |
