Madamoiselle Akahoshi has a point. People tend to jump to conclusions and criticize when they feel threatened. Don't be discouraged with negative statements. There are people out there who support and agree with what you're trying to say.

Edited by: Butrus on 29/09/2003 17:07:00 Thanks Shintoko and Dorian - you've re-energised me just enough for another reply...
In my naievety I was hoping to receive an enthusiastic response to my basic idea, and then start bouncing ideas off like minded people. I confess I don't have a roadmap to unity planned out in convincing detail and feel exposed suggesting one for fear of further pot-shots, but here goes anyway by way of a straw man:
1) Establish, moderate, and support a channel ("Gallente") for general discussion of Gallentean topics. Nothing secretive, other races welcome as long as they're constructive. Could evolve for military use at some point if required. Most channels die due to underuse sooner or later, so serious commitment from leading corporations sought. [I can implement this, but will need active support].
2) Organise and support a regular (but not too onerous) Gallente mining event. Idea is for a massive turnout in a fairly safe sector. More social than serious. A kind of experiment in mass cooperation. [Any volunteer could organise this, and publicise via the Gallente channel]
3) Start up an informal Gallente trading cartel. Rules would be simple: if you join you undertake to offer a 5% discount to all other members of the cartel in return for the same deal when buying from them. [Would need an in-flight website which displays current list of member corporations. Complaints and membership would need to be maintained and processed by a volunteer. I have no web skills or would take this on myself]. ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite! Join the "Gallente" comms channel...

Your ideas sound good. Start up the "Gallente" channel in-game and things will start to happen.

Edited by: Shintoko Akahoshi on 29/09/2003 20:51:41 Well, there you go... 
These are some good initial ideas. I especially like your ideas for a Gallente-specific channel, and a Gallente cartel. I don't know how successful an organized Gallente mining event would be, but maybe that's just because I'm both cynical and hate mining...
I'd like to both offer my services in maintaining a web site for a Gallente trading cartel/alliance, and suggest that it also be open to Gallente-friendly corporations. For instance, I work for a multiracial corporation with an Amarr CEO. It is, however, Gallente-friendly. I'd like to think that it would be able to participate in the cartel.

Fantastic - thanks Shintoko and Dorian.
I'll start up the channel and hook up with you there. Please start to spread the word.
Shintoko - I think a website could really cement things. How would you feel about creating some sort of "Coming soon - the Gallente Cartel" or something similar, using some of the content in this threat to whet the appetite?
I'm starting to get excited again  ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite! Join the "Gallente" comms channel... Browse the Gallente Union website... |

I'd also be happy to help contribute to the construction of a website, if that gets put on the to-do list.

OK Gallente Channel is here! I'm mostly on from about 19:00 Eve Time but don't be discouraged if the channel looks empty for the first little while. It will take time to grow and if you keep it open by default then wonderful and surprising conversations WILL happen... ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite!

Butrus and I have met in the new 'Gallente' channel. It has been agreed that to spread the word of this new meeting place, like-minded Gallenteans should advertise it in their sigs.
In this world there are do'ers and there are joiners. Which category do you fall into?

I don't believe in any united galletean cartel is good for us, that will cause instability in galletean space and soon others will follow and create other "united galletean" to keep up with the Gal-cartel benefits and their beleifs.
I believe in a free galletean space without any general guidelines for the people. I believe that in any event of aggresion against us, will will unite and fight. I beleive in individuality.
Have always been free...

Savlin, I agree with the points you made.
In my view, a 'Gallente' channel will simply be a good general meeting place for us, where no pressure will be exerted to do anything the individual does not want to. -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation

I have created a web site for us to use. It is running on EveWiki, a wiki engine ported to support the in-game browser (A wiki is a sort of communal web site that is designed to be easy to edit. All editing happens from within the web browser. Linking and page creation is pretty much automatic.). Go nuts...

Now things are getting INTERESTING Shintoko - many thanks. Fascinating ideas and great useful material - I particularly liked the links to alliance maps which I haven't seen before, and the way you've reproduced the original discussion thread (not "threat" by the way!).
I think I'll be changing my signature right away to publicise this!
Many thanks... ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite! Join the "Gallente" comms channel... Browse the Gallente Union website... |

Oh P.S. would you be able to plug the "Gallente" comms channel on the first page of your website please so it really hits you full in the face?

Done. The spelling thing must have been a freudian slip, considering how many people see veiled threats in this...
You can change any of the pages yourself, by the way. Click on the "QuickStart" link to read how to do this. It's quite easy...

Very interesting. I haven't met anyone in the Gallente channel yet, but I've only checked a couple times and that was late at night.
By the way, exactly what is the signature text that is going to be used?

Shintoko - the thought of an evolving collaborative website (wiki) is a great one and I look forward to having a play around very soon.
Dorian - far be it for me to impose a signature, but I'd be delighted if you and others made a gentle plug for the Gallente comms channel and the terrific website Shintoko has prepared for us.
Regarding the Gallente channel - I would like to suggest an informal meeting time of 18:00 (Eve Time) every Sunday. Hopefully that will avoid disillusionment caused by repeatedly checking an empty channel. If that time is good I hope to talk to you then...
I'll also post this as an "event". ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite! Join the "Gallente" comms channel... Browse the Gallente Union website... |

I must say, this web site looks very promising. I've taken the liberty of adding a few nuggets to it, and will be continuing to add a broader range of subjects and pages in the future. -------------------- Lord Eidolon The COSMOS Corporation

I hope that everyone who has contributed to this thread so far will support the new website and add their details to the Visitors Book.
In time, I see this evolving as a kind of directory of Gallente services, corporations, and individuals - another step in the direction of a "liberal" and "free" form of Gallente Unity. ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite!

From this it sounds like we're all joiners...

... and more are joining every day!
Latest resource that is helping to unite our ideas is the Gallente Portal, part of the excellent website that Shintoko set up for us.

The Gallente Portal is looking pretty good now - including a place to trade, a place to post personal and corporate information, a very comprehensive list of in-game browser addresses, and of course the Encyclopedia Eveica.
Check it out and let us know who you are, fellow Gallenteans... ________________________________________ People of the Gallente Federation unite! Join the "Gallente" comms channel... Browse the Gallente Union website... |

The Gallente Unity web site has moved. Due to numerous problems with our... uh... galactic hyper-hosting provider, I've moved the web site to another hyper-host. The new... uh... hyperURL is: http://www.narcosislabs.org/SoixanteNeuf.

Typical of our race.
Full of bigotry and childish humour.
There was even one fellow bragging about his Mother being a _Minmatar_! Sickening...
