mazzilliu	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:09:00 - [1] seriously "interStellar Kredits" as opposed to "InterStellar Credits" ever since i saw it spelled out in the tutorial it's always bothered me. I know "ISK" looks better then "ISC" does but still... i even used the search bar and no explanation Or is this a different-sort-of-type-of-english thing? I speak/write american english, do people spell it 'kredits' on the other side of the lake? ---------
Moss Pharmacy	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:10:00 - [2] Kredits just loks more cool. ------------------------------- I am Laopwn lick my boots. ████
Shadowbrood	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:11:00 - [3] Because ISK is the official currency in Iceland
Kira Natel	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:12:00 - [4] Its also Icelandic Krona (ISK) the real money of the CCP overlords
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:12:00 - [5] Because ISK = Icelandic Kronur Not the same currency, true, but...
mazzilliu	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:15:00 - [6] i didn't believe it at first, but then i looked it up. hahaha CCP ---------
GC13	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:31:00 - [7] Darn it, too many other people gave a correct response before me. Oh well, I'll give my snide remark anyway. Because it's Krona, not Crona. --- New to Eve?

kieron	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:34:00 - [8] There are a number of 'Easter eggs' in EVE that come from Iceland or Icelandic history. ISK is just one of the more obvious. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

KaraThrace	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:36:00 - [9] I rather ISK as it is.
Calshim	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:38:00 - [10] Cause the Icelanders never got to grips with the letter "C" ? ------------------------------------------ BiteFight

mazzilliu	Posted - 2006.05.27 01:49:00 - [13] easter eggs are awesome. Must find more. Too bad I don't know much about iceland ---------
Riddari	Posted - 2006.05.27 02:06:00 - [14] ISK is in fact the old code for icelandic kr=nur. Today it is IKR. ¼+¼ a history
Jaruk Talis	Posted - 2006.05.27 02:08:00 - [15] Also, if you think of star wars, the currency is "Credits" Spelling Kredits with a "k" is an easy way to avoid any legal trouble. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. -Albert Einstein
Sovy Kurosei	Posted - 2006.05.27 02:10:00 - [16] Man, I wish soft C was replaced by S and hard C replaced by K. I get confused when I try to write a word like concise and wether I got the C and S mixed up. Bloody English. ___________________
Kazim	Posted - 2006.05.27 02:23:00 - [17] Many minmatar ships have names from Nordic(is that right?) history. To name some of the top of my head is Huginn and Muninn, Which are the Icelandic names for the 2 ravens Odin had. That's about all I can think off, don't know if everybody did know this (us natives know this of course .
Clementina	Posted - 2006.05.27 02:29:00 - [18] Edited by: Clementina on 27/05/2006 02:30:19 Here's a role play I made up right quick if you desire it. Sometime between now and the collapse of the Eve Gate Iceland became a world power. Well not so much as became a world power, but rather was able to sustain their standard of living during the great oil crunch due to their development of geothermal power and their to maintain a positive balance of trade throughout the economic crisis due to their selling of a certain service over the internet. As they rose (or more accurately, as others fell) the Icelandic Republic was able to count for more in world affairs. They made the United Kingdom a protectorate at the conclusion of a series of naval wars. They were also instrumental in the construction of the land bridges. They facilitated commerce, which was then taxed by the International Seaways Division which they created after the naval wars. They decided they needed two land bridges. Other nations protested, but couldn't really do anything about it. Because they became extremely wealthy due to their control of the landbridges in general (and due to their having two such bridges) Their currency, the IceLandic Kronar (ISK) because a reserve currency for every nation on earth. Some countries even ISKized their economies, dropping their own currencies and adopting the ISK as theirs. This was probably the legacy of the Icelandic nation. the initials ISK stood for stability and prosparity, and stood for it so strongly that it reputation survived the collapse of the Eve gate, survived the dark ages, and was exploited by Concord when they decided to create a new world wide currency, the InterSteller Credit, which they decided to label, the ISK.
The Slayer	Posted - 2006.05.27 03:19:00 - [19] I landed in Rejkyavik (sp) airport on my way to florida last year and noticed the ISK thing. I loudly proclaimed in the main concourse "Dammit, I have over a billion ISK at home, I should have brought it with me". Brought some strange looks from people. __________________________________ Your Dual 250mm Prototype I Gauss Gun perfectly strikes Estamel Tharchon, wrecking for 187.6 damage.
Joerd Toastius	Posted - 2006.05.27 07:49:00 - [20] Originally by: Jaruk Talis Also, if you think of star wars and 90% of all SF settings known to man, the currency is "Credits" Spelling Kredits with a "k" is an easy way to avoid any legal trouble. Fixed. Seriously, I don't think Lucas would get a look-in here.
Heather Drauls	Posted - 2006.05.27 07:55:00 - [21] Originally by: Shadowbrood Because ISK is the official currency in Iceland Nah they just used to read Karrang magazine in the 80's.
CrayC	Posted - 2006.05.27 08:08:00 - [22] Originally by: Mishima Ginnungagap = Big hole in Norse Mythology where south and north / cold and hot met, or sum. Actually Ginnungagap was the empty void wherein the entire world now lies. And there are indeed a loooooot of reference to Icelandic and Nordic mythology in this game, mostly on the minmatar side. A few more examples: Mjolnir (EM torpedo) is the hammer of Thor, the god of thunder. Ragnarok (minmatar titan) is the final battle between good and evil. Doomsday if you like. Fenrir (minmatar freighter) is the Fenris Wolf. Really big wolf! Naglfar (minmatar dreadnought) is the ship in which the residents of "hell" travels to battle the gods on Ragnarok. Nidhoggur (minmatar carrier) is a giant snake that encircles the world, lives mostly in the sea. Hel (minmatar mothership) is Hell. And at the same time, the name of the leader of Hel. Sleipnir (minmatar command cruiser) is Odin's 8-legged horse. Odin is the highest of the gods. Huginn (minmatar Recon cruiser) and Muninn (minmatar HAC) are ravens that Odin uses to spy on the world and find out what goes on here and there. This is just the ships section (and a torpedo, oddly enough the Amarr one), I know there are lots of other things, places, modules, that refer to this great mythology, but does it really matter what things are called? As long as they work, right?
Lucre	Posted - 2006.05.27 09:22:00 - [23] Originally by: Shadowbrood Because ISK is the official currency in Iceland Before I knew that, I was working in Excel and found 'isk' amongst the list of cell format currencies available. As you can imagine I did something of a double-take...
Flyyn	Posted - 2006.05.27 09:48:00 - [24] Because its funny to here them say "iskies" on TS or Vent. The other way would sound like "iceies" Dont mind me I am just trying to catch up to DS and HK on the boards....
Kalppis	Posted - 2006.05.27 10:34:00 - [25] Originally by: CrayC Huginn (minmatar Recon cruiser) and Muninn (minmatar HAC) are ravens that Odin uses to spy on the world and find out what goes on here and there. So, Odin was a caldari?

Wrangler	Posted - 2006.05.27 11:02:00 - [26] Originally by: CrayC Nidhoggur (minmatar carrier) is a giant snake that encircles the world, lives mostly in the sea. No, Jormungandr is the name of the Midgard Serpent, or World Serpent as it's sometimes called. Nidhoggur is a being, maybe a dragon, and it eats from one of the three roots of Yggdrasill, the World Tree. (Though to be fair, some people think Nidhoggur and Jormungandr could be the same creature) It's also worth mentioning that Hel, Jormungandr and Fenrir were the Children of Loki, God of mischief and Angrboda, a giantess (female giant). Sorry, I just love norse mythology. [Read the Rules!] - [Contact us]

Valkazm	Posted - 2006.05.27 11:04:00 - [27] Edited by: Valkazm on 27/05/2006 11:05:24 They named systems after words commen to nordic people and even some nordic gods i think .. edit i only read page 1 ignore me

Tsual	Posted - 2006.05.27 12:17:00 - [30] Matari A lot of ship names have interesting meaning or origin. (For me the hardest was maller until I found out that is etymological near to miller.) ******************** Those without a tribe can only keep their word.

I'm gonna go watch that movie and 'die' in my bed. PS. I'm drunk. I'll tell you where you can find this, Black Monolith, for 1 million isk... It is at Dead End, Planet 5 Moon 5. Worth taking an Iteron V down there for some pictures, kind of makes a good "Discovery" substitute. Visit the Eve Gate while you're down that way, in New Eden, plus plenty of crazy asteroids and carved stuff on the route there. Worth a days road trip for an Eve Holiday. :D Rovers Chronicles

ISK is just one of the more obvious. Anybody find any more? I have indeed =). Nonni for example is an icelandic name. There are ALOT of systems named after icelandic words/names =)
Goberth Ludwig	Posted - 2006.05.27 13:48:00 - [34] How do you say "lag" in icelandic? Does it translates to "jita" by chance? - Gob [IXC] Admiral Goberius

Nidhoggur is a being, maybe a dragon, and it eats from one of the three roots of Yggdrasill, the World Tree. Ah yes, my bad. Originally by: Wrangler It's also worth mentioning that Hel, Jormungandr and Fenrir were the Children of Loki, God of mischief and Angrboda, a giantess (female giant). I actually thought about writing that too, but... Naaah... Wasn't important. Besides, we're talking Easter Eggs here, not mythology. Originally by: Wrangler Sorry, I just love norse mythology. You are not the only one...

So, Odin was a caldari? Considering that Caldari have that "nordic" look and he is a nordic god, then.... Maybe
Raem Civrie	Posted - 2006.05.27 15:45:00 - [37] Minmatar comes from the icelandic term "minni mßttar", which means underdog (or in the context of EVE, "lesser people"). Their ships and locale's often borrow Icelandic/old-norse terms, such as the resident black hole Ginnungagap, Naglfar, etc. There are more, but I can't remember them right now. ---- Cultural Advisor of the Omber Administration
Turiel Demon	Posted - 2006.05.27 17:47:00 - [38] You've got to have ISK for InterStellar Kredits so you can have ISC for InterStellar Cents. Those little thingies behind the decimal point have to be called something. ---- nothing to see here, move along nicely now, is that a pink dread out there. aaww you just missed it -eris It's not an Eidolon with 5 Basic Miner's on it, that's for certain.(FF04) ~kieron No love for me? :'( - Wrangler If you can't beat Eris, join her, hmmm that sounded so much better in my head - Cortes Cuddles Eeyore.

Kilo Paskaa	Posted - 2006.05.27 18:46:00 - [41] Its ISK because i can shout ISKIES FOR MEH. Shouting ISCIES FOR MEH looks stupid tbh . -------- As you can see, i pwned Kieron for iskies.
Doddy	Posted - 2006.05.27 19:58:00 - [42] So, we should look out for new ships called Loki and/or Angrboda then?

Mishima	Posted - 2006.05.27 20:15:00 - [44] Originally by: Wrangler It's also worth mentioning that Hel, Jormungandr and Fenrir were the Children of Loki, God of mischief and Angrboda, a giantess (female giant). Sorry, I just love norse mythology. Sleipnir is also Loki's "son", but not "son" of Angurboda. Gjallarhorn and Ragnarok go hand-in-hand in eve and Norse mythology. I love x-mas :D

CrayC	Posted - 2006.05.27 22:05:00 - [50] Originally by: Derelus The Minmatar fighter drone is called "Einherji" which is Icelandic for "Loner" Einherji is also the fighters of the gods, fighting each other every day, training for Ragnarok. They are brought to Asgard by the Valkyries, which are also drones...
Elaron	Posted - 2006.05.28 02:03:00 - [51] I'm surprised noone has mentioned Gjallerhorn yet - the Minmatar superweapon. In Norse mythology the Gjallerhorn was sounded by Heimdall to herald the approach of Ragnarok. Quite appropriate, really. Elaron It is never too late to correct the mistakes of the past.

FooB2	Posted - 2006.05.28 10:04:00 - [59] im just gonna copy/paste this from my other locked thread cos im lazy. aside from the obvious ISK one, the only one i ever thought was an easter egg was the naming of "Pax Amarria". how it shares an obviously likeness to "Pax Imperia", which was a 2d space strategy game where you picked a handful of races, researched technology and tried to conquer the galaxy by populating all the planets and killing everyone else. it had a lot of things in common with eve, but i cant find my game disc so i cant stick it in and check. im suprised given the demographic of this game, noone has pointed that out sooner. or am i just wrong? also, if there are a lot of systems named after icelandic stuff in eve, what does "G.ayar" translate to? (forgive the . but the profanity filter will own its own system names :( ) www.EVE-Gamers.co.uk - YOUR community for EVE Gaming
Francis Verdictio	Posted - 2006.05.28 10:23:00 - [60] Originally by: FooB2 "Pax Amarria". how it shares an obviously likeness to "Pax Imperia", which was a 2d space strategy game "Pax Romana" was also the Roman Peace, enforced by the might of the Roman Legions in the early years Anno Domini in most of southern-middle europe, pushing out previous populations to the North or assimilating them into the Empire. Vikings were originally a germanic people who migrated up to Scandinavia (and from there to Iceland) to be away from the conquering Romans.
Kingdoc	Posted - 2006.05.28 10:37:00 - [61] IÆm surprised that we havenÆt seen a minne ship called a drakar yet. Anyway, enough history, what about Easter eggs? Like is there some code in the stars in morse code or something? And has ANYBODY been able to figure out how to read shiplogs yet? Where is all the other hidden cool stuff? P.S. Scotty the station manager has nothing to do with Scotty from star trek. Scotty was the name of the landlord in the small building where CCP had their first office many years ago, hence ôstation managerö. PPS I made that scotty crap up.
Tyrrax Thorrk	Posted - 2006.05.28 10:51:00 - [62] Edited by: Tyrrax Thorrk on 28/05/2006 10:52:06 Einherjar is the plural version, Einherji singular. 5 Einherjar, 1 Einherji http://eve.klaki.net/

Streetrip	Posted - 2006.05.28 16:31:00 - [70] Alot of this might seem recognisable to you if you played ragnarok online the MMOG as it too has several links to norse mythology such as the yggdrasil tree. On Easter Eggs, another quite popular one is that in one of the types of stations, there's a billboard which displays a screen which says "YOU MUST PLAY EVE YOU MUST PLAY EVE YOU MUST PLAY EVE" Look up the named target painters under variations...check out the abbreviations, PWN, PWND, PWNED, PWNAGE etc
Croesus	Posted - 2006.05.28 16:51:00 - [71] Edited by: Croesus on 28/05/2006 16:51:58 I was once told that the name Minmatar comes from the word minnimßttar which translates to "of lesser power", or something to that extend and is often used over children and others who can not easily defnd themselfs. Minmatar=Minnimßttar.
Minthos	Posted - 2006.05.28 17:51:00 - [72] I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Thor torpedo yet? Also, there is a system named "Balle", and I'm not sure if it's the same in Icelandic, but in Norwegian it's a word for an unspecified part of the male reproductive organs (closest literal translation is "ball", but its use varies). I remember from Anarchy Online, there was an NPC named "Stolt Jensenberg" which is just a rearrangement of "Jens Stoltenberg", the norwegian prime minister.

I think we need to make it a requirement that anyone who wishes to post here reads the rest of the thread first, people keep saying things that have been said already. And if this person had read the link he posted, he wouldn't have needed to post it. --------------------------- Signatures are for the weak.
mazzilliu	Posted - 2006.05.29 03:42:00 - [79] Edited by: mazzilliu on 29/05/2006 03:42:57 the picture is messed up, but it says "WARNING BEWARE OF THE SIGN" http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v85/elsakoo1/2006.png in the item description it says "why?" also the "YOU MUST PLAY EVE YOU MUST PLAY EVE YOU MUST PLAY EVE" appears in the 'pleasure hub' station. Below it is the scrolling message asking someone to undock at station 42. Also in the same station is a flyer on the side of a pillar saying "this is a pointless babble", and a hologram of a naked woman somewhere else in the station. Enable 'load station environment' and right click-drag to point your camera away from your ship so you can see all this stuff ---------
