There are no corps left in EVE outside of militia, who roleplay Amarr supporters.

Did CVA join the amarr militia?

-+Our fight against tyranny is hard but our cause will never die

Everyone wants to be freedom fighter. Just as we have more Brigadier Generals, than grunts, we have huge number of "freedom fighters" harassing the tyrants and their lackeys who are not only a minority, but practically extinct. You can travel through Metropolis and meet many kind players who are staunch supporters of the Minmatar Republic, even though not enlisted in FW. There are no corps left in EVE outside of militia, who roleplay Amarr supporters. Of course, the real question is when will CCP make Amarr a "pirate" faction whose only purpose is to provide NPC targets.

then left




really cva should be in the milita and UK should be in the other...

Storyline could be better. Make Minmatar genocidal or something.

Well, then there are corps left in EVE outside of militia who roleplay Amarr.

Didn't I see you station camping in Hek yesterday?

Hmmm... That has awesomesauce written all over it.

Roleplaying a wealthy, handsome and charming slaver is so much more fun than pretending to be some poor, scruffy looking slave with shackles around his wrists!

Calling my corp Federal Docking Union and use it to awox frogs does make me a gallente supporter?

i gave it a try and posted something similar in the RP area a few days ago. I got a block of text as reply basically saying that slavery is indeed bad but the amarr way of slavery is cool since they are special or something. I read it twice but a am still unable to take anything positive out of the backstory.

Except you're forgetting the fact that Minmatar are pretty much the Al-Qaeda of EVE.

RP ....rly? orly? zomfgrly?

FW is isk farm now ... nothing more nothing less

Lowsec is da place

Just because we're no longer wage slaves, refusing to pay the mortgage company and barricading the doors and windows against the bailiffs doesn't mean we're scruffy. We have style.

And no we're nothing like Al-qaeda. That is a lazy fatuous analogy.

So, are you accusing CVA of not being Amarr roleplayers?

Or are you just adding a completely unrelated comment to distract from the fact that your statement is false?

Your part of FA, you live in an isk farm.

Not to mention cultured and technologically advanced. And better fashion sense. And bathed.

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.

Amarr Victor!

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..

Right.

Don't worry people Xuixien is the matari equivalent of Cynthia, except more treacherous and low life.

Yes, especially since that turned out to be the right move. Thank you for proving our point.

I believe it was the reasoning for the decision in question, not the unintended outcomes. It's a fine point, and I don't blame you for missing it.

Thank you.

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.

Like an insecure husband who gets mad whenever his wife speaks to a male coworker. I said the Matari were a jealous, self-serving people, and your words here have proven it for me nicely. Thank you.

I am not going to continue this tit for tat. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Storyline could be better. Make Minmatar genocidal or something.

Concession accepted.

I'm pretty sure the amarr kidnapped our legion of plex farmers. Half the people I run out of plexs are stabbed and have a cloak.

I think the critical mass goes to whichever faction can create the best habitat for the farmers.

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.

Everyone wants to be freedom fighter.

Wouldn't they all join Minmatar then?
More ISK per LP and way more plexes to run.

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.

RL isn't black and white but most people in RL see the world in black and white.

Amarr Victor!

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.

Wait, is the RP talked about in here real or hyothetical? To be honest one of the reasons i joined eve was because of the rp potential between the empires, yet sadly, i have found little rp. If it exists i would definitly be interested in finding it

In my mind, i treat the amarr like the imperium of man from warhammer 40k. Makes them far more fun to play.


Dang shoulda read the above post first >.<

The big turn off people joining or supporting Amarr is due to them being the religious nutters in the game.

It makes no sense to a new player that immortal people who can travel in space would believe in magical space fairies.

Why not, after all the largest and most powerful space empire in the game bases its whole civilisation on it, whats wrong with a few podpilots decidng its good for them too.

We here at MAMBLA believe that roleplay has a great role to play (no pun intended) in bringing Amarr and Minmatar together for fulfilling and deep interpersonal interactions. Whether you are a carefree young slave, oiling your dreadlocks with Dr Bubbles Patented Cotton Tonic and pondering the emptiness of your life lived alone on the spacelanes, or a spacefaring warrior bishop with underwear troubles in need of a special hug from his special indentred servant, we here at MAMBLA can provide you with ideas to spice up your pod life.

Trinket alt??

Cause immortal people would really care about an afterlife....

Don't forget that capsuleers make up less than 1% of the population of New Eden. For the vast majority of people in New Eden permanent death is a very real and extremely likely fate.

I'll keep this in mind the next time I roll an Exotic Dancer as my New Eden character.

"Buzz Aldrin, a Presbyterian, was the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the Moon. After landing on the Moon, he radioed Earth: 'I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours, and to give thanks in his or her own way.' He gave himself Communion on the surface of the Moon, but he kept it secret because of a lawsuit brought by atheist activist Madalyn Murray O'Hair over the reading of Genesis on Apollo 8."

Amarr are just the designated 'bad guys' in Eve's lore, and the being bad is very popular with gamers...
