Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2005.11.07 20:21:00 - [61] Originally by: Takitoo But what about the consistency ? I've tried it, and you can't make a darker Brutor as fas as I know. Variation is fine and dandy, but all Brutor are mulato. As for the behavior patterns: We don't have any information on that. And even if we did, we couldn't lead it back to todays society. Behavior patterns can change vastly during 1500 years. And I'm sure the stranding on one planet for several generations altered that as well. So really, the only lead we have is looks. The problem with the attention grabber is more a personal one. I've been at the receiving end of those a bit too often. that's why it irked me. Well, behaviour patterns are in the race descriptions. Minmatar are a "tribal", "criminal" group, while the Gallente uphold "freedom", and Caldari have "strong work ethics, and haughty detached demeanors". Also, current experts believe that humanity will inevitably meld into a homogenous "race", so we cannot call Brutors Mulato anymore than we can call Gallente French, whatever Mulato or French that was present has been mixed and mixed, then randomly mutated from seperation with the other races.
Ziom Luna	Posted - 2005.11.07 20:55:00 - [62] Originally by: HybridMiner Gallente = French Amarr = British Minmatar = African Caldari = America As you can see the British with their slavery took many africans under their control as slaves. Close, but I'd go for... Gallente = French Amarr = Americans Minmatar = African Caldari = Western European with Japanese influence. America was into slavery far far more than the Brits and continued to practice slavery long after most other countries gave it up... as with the Amarr/Minmitar situation in present day Eve. I always thought the word Amarr was some spin off from America anyway
JAG Solex	Posted - 2005.11.07 22:34:00 - [63] Seems pretty obvious to me: Amarr = Russian & Slavic (Roman Orthodox Religion) Caldari = North America & Japan Gallente = French & Europeans Minmatar = African & Middle Eastern -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [SOLST]<ASCN>
Ralus	Posted - 2005.11.07 22:37:00 - [64] I think that origionally the caldari and the gallante were one people: Originally by: eve chronicals After a while the Caldari agenda became clear - they were willing to sign peace if the Federation would return Caldari Prime and acknowledge the newly formed Caldari state.
Dyzz	Posted - 2005.11.07 23:39:00 - [65] Edited by: Dyzz on 07/11/2005 23:40:22 If the Gallante are clearly french then why dont Mega's Domi's and every other Gal ship have little white flags that fly from them ??
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2005.11.07 23:45:00 - [66] Originally by: Dyzz Edited by: Dyzz on 07/11/2005 23:40:22 If the Gallante are clearly french then why dont Mega's Domi's and every other Gal ship have little white flags that fly from them ?? Wow, funny... why don't you ask why the amarrian ships don't have bombs strapped to them, bigot?
Pinstripe Giamatti	Posted - 2005.11.08 00:00:00 - [67] Originally by: Dyzz Edited by: Dyzz on 07/11/2005 23:40:22 If the Gallante are clearly french then why dont Mega's Domi's and every other Gal ship have little white flags that fly from them ?? In 20K years, I think we'd also expect the evolution of some highly specialized, Gallente-only skills, like "Retreat," "Collaborate," and "Surrender."
Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2005.11.08 00:38:00 - [68] Originally by: Dyzz Edited by: Dyzz on 07/11/2005 23:40:22 If the Gallante are clearly french then why dont Mega's Domi's and every other Gal ship have little white flags that fly from them ?? And this is WHY we're not allowed to make IRL comparisons. I told you it'd degenerate into offensive racial slurs. Hopefully a mod somewhere is still awake and can delete them before it gets any further out of hand. Celt Corp - members of ISS
Dyzz	Posted - 2005.11.12 06:50:00 - [69] Edited by: Dyzz on 12/11/2005 06:52:46 Edited by: Dyzz on 12/11/2005 06:50:48 How could you possible see that as a racist slur when it is obvious that "French" is a nationality not a race. Humans are a race. Therefore no racial slur occured. And the reason I dont strap bombs to my Geddon is because then it really really would look like a Phallus. And even though i like to go around space screwing people i dont want to advertise it. Its just a bit over the top. Oh and pinstripe that is pure genius.

It's under the anti-racism act that you'd be prosecuted, if you said that in England. Celt Corp - members of ISS
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.11.12 08:42:00 - [71] i think real world comparisons cant be made - i think the devs took elements of human history and human behaviour (ie religious - slavery - democratic - ultra capitalists - rebels - slaves split from race - ultra technological advanced and xenophobic (Jove) = well moreso insular in not engaging outside gruopds to much I think probably the idea for the racial groups in eve probably came moreso from science fiction (star trek, star wars - battlestar galactica)
chingon	Posted - 2005.11.12 10:37:00 - [72] minmatars look like jamaicans with their dreadlocks and sunglasses lol :)
Obwi Stefano	Posted - 2005.11.12 10:55:00 - [73] how cares there all bastards
Quithlar Binay	Posted - 2005.11.12 11:00:00 - [74] I remember this topic in the Bloodlines section of the Shiva forum. One pilot (unfortunately I cannot remember the name) had studied the linguistic origins of the bloodlines, and come to conclusions such as: Achura - Japanese Amarr - Latin (Roman) Brutor - Afrikaans Deteis - Russian Civire - Finnish Gallente - French Intaki - Indian Khanid - Arab Sebiestor - Dutch If I recall also: Jinmei - Chinese ...and others that I do not remember. Hopefully the pilot will see and claim his work here. As for culture, that is more a matter of opinion than ironclad fact. None of the groups above maintained the same outlook for their entire history before the EVE gate opened, let alone 20000 years on. ------------ Quithlar Binay Instructor, Advanced Studies Federal Navy Academy
Tash Murkon	Posted - 2005.11.12 12:01:00 - [75] Edited by: Tash Murkon on 12/11/2005 12:03:38 Gallente: french.. Caldari: Germans.. Amarr: Anicent egyptians/arabs minmatar: chinese.. The scriptures remind me with the book of the dead.
Orvy	Posted - 2005.11.12 14:30:00 - [76] I remember it was posted somewhere about 8 months ago, don't remember the source though: Caldari - Americans and Japaneese (advanced electronics and missile technology) Amarr - Russians and Arab countries (Islamic zeal and efficient and cheap Russian technology - no ammo required for lasers) Minmatar - African and German (Tribal society from africa and great mechanics from Germany - therefore they use projectiles and in one story it has been mentioned that just before they were enslaved by Amarr they were about to construct their own Stargate with unique technology - it would 'shoot' the ship at great velocity using superior mechanical equipment) Gallente - French (the idea of liberal society, stylish ships, etc.) ______________________________________________ Fighting for perfection of sweets recepies
Meeko Gloom	Posted - 2005.11.12 14:33:00 - [77] Originally by: WolfGang H Saying they are all from America would describe them all. I love the great melting pot, don't you? USA USA USA ________________________________________________ Pls Dont Flame Me Cuz I DONT Give A **** Demons of Razgis

Time Killer	Posted - 2005.11.12 17:20:00 - [82] My 2p Amarr = cross between Catholic church and Roman Empire (not sure where the names originate from) - I have no idea where the heck people are getting 'American' from with them Gallente = french with a little of the rest of Europe influencing Caldari = Japanese attitudes and names with All-american marine looks Minmatar = tribal mix of Native American and African
Alucard Winsar	Posted - 2005.11.12 17:28:00 - [83] Heres my version Caldari - Americans, love missiles and explosions Gallente - French Minmatar - African Amarr - Catholics, still has minmatar slaves Jovian - Asians, more intelligent then the rest of them Ha Ha, I so witty.
