Ladies and gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure on this fine Monday to announce the arrival of a new player on the EVE fiction scene. Going by the moniker of Abraxas, he is our new in-house Chronicle and Short Story writer. His first story, "The Greatest Joke," a tale of death and pamphlets, has been published on the EVE Chronicles section of our web site for your reading enjoyment.
I am also happy to announce that as his talent is matched only by his output, we have Chronicles lined up for every Monday from now through the new year. We will still be accepting submissions from players, but only to a very limited extent.
Since our Chronicle pipeline at this point consists mostly of his works, I hereby, with much pomp and circumstance, hand over the weekly announcer's mic to him.
Brax, come out and say hi.

...is this thing on? Hello? Hello?
Hi, all. I hope this story and all the ones that follow will provide you with plenty of entertainment, and provide me with unfettered adulation, several marriage proposals and a string of illegitimate children.
The plan is that I'll be posting on both GD and the EVE Library whenever we publish something of mine. Comments are welcome, as are suggestions or requests for anything in particular you'd like to see written about. I can't promise they'll be heeded, but I'll certainly listen intently and look very interested, or at least as interested as this lovingly crafted exclamation mark avatar allows.

Inasmuch as it can be tied to any kind of game mechanic or background, this story is about exploration, a feature in the upcoming KaliOne patch. It references the Sisters, who, as you're probably aware, are more or less the EVE version of the Red Cross.
And one of the stories I'm working on is a fairly massive pirate faction one, though it won't get published this year.

In regard to our solitary complaint as Arthur C Clarke said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." and perhaps what we see here in an artifact of some kind (tech four anyone ).
There again perhaps not, the title is after all "The Greatest Joke". It makes one think and that alone, for me, is reason enough to like it.

Edited by: Corey Grim on 24/10/2006 05:08:30 Edited by: Corey Grim on 24/10/2006 05:08:21 simple request if i may.
what i would really much like to read is how minmatar accompished their ship technology to so high level. i mean matari is most skill intensive and coz of that most versatile race when speaking purely about ships. only race that armor tanks shield tanks shoots missiles and uses guns etc etc. IF it has something to do with spying other races it would still leave us couple of questions, example where did the superiour speed and agility came from?
there is lot of questions unanswered about matar technology.
anyway if these questions have been answered in some short story/chronicle plz someone point me to right direction
thank you.

Edited by: Ralitge boyter on 24/10/2006 06:28:00 You guys are telling me we get to read more of this great stuff every week.
So a pirate faction story is comming up sometime... soon. Guess I would like to ask for something on the ORE corporation and their reasons for releasing the mining barges and their T2 counterparts to the capsuleer pilots.
Then there is the question of the jump clones and their effect on the mental state of the pilots that are using them. What we have seen so far is that these pilots are more reckless and quicker to attack and kill other pilots then the once that refrain from using these "ebil" things.
Oh, yes one last thing I would love to see is a big story about the history behind the various long gone cultures that we see artifacts apearing from on the capsuleer markets. How are the various factions dealing with this? And the impact on their believes and cultures, could it be that these cultures where in contact with the Jove or might they have evolved into Jove? How do the various factions look at this?
ps, wonderful story looking forward to see a lot more of them.

Originally by: Vendrin Since when did we have psychics and spirit lines in EVE? The Euhundani or whatever were bad enough, give us more PF about the new bloodlines and new ships and the empires please.
There's always been a mystical element in EVE, as seen most clearly by the Jove and their offshoot the Society of Conscious Thought. The Sisters, obviously, are going to lean somewhat to mysticism, just as any religious order does simply by virtue of being religious. Don't worry, though; we're still a SF game and I take that into account when writing stories.
Originally by: Derelyk Are these short stories, designed to flesh out the game, give it background & lore?
Precisely. The stories usually have some secondary purpose - to explain a new game mechanic, to cast light on a particular faction, etc. - but first and foremost, their purpose is to lend verisimilitude to the game. The upcoming batch of stories are all related to KaliOne features. This particular story may end up having a 'real-life' counterpart of sorts, once the exploration feature gets implemented...
Originally by: Ralitge boyter Then there is the question of the jump clones and their effect on the mental state of the pilots that are using them. What we have seen so far is that these pilots are more reckless and quicker to attack and kill other pilots then the once that refrain from using these "ebil" things.
I'm very interested in the clone concept. However, so are a lot of others; I've seen a bunch of clone scenes and clone-focused stories in EVE fiction (including a good one in a past E-ON issue). As a result, I'm a bit wary of writing about it, because I don't want to tread old ground, or end up nailing down into canon some concept that the players like exploring on their own.
That said, you touch on something that I'd actually had an idea for and completely forgotten about: Leaving aside any possible psychoses or issues resulting from a botched clone job, how will this kind of effective immortality affect a normal human being? You still age, but you've pretty much eliminated the possibility of fatal accidents. It can't be long before people find some way of turning it into a sport.

They are usually a bit of both. The City of God for instance is an actual place in eve, as is the Serpent's Coil. Others like Myth of a Salesman, Silphy and Malaetu Shakor provide an idea of the levels of dealings in eve. The Crystal Boulevard and Dam Torsad provide places that you can't go to (yet), ie on the ground. Then you have chronicles about the factions and their powerplays or governemtn dealings, wars, relitions, political divides and so on. So they are a jumble and all together make up the background of eve called Prime Fiction. ------

heh, sport... to quote Warren Ellis from his MEK graphic novel: you know what the driving force behind all new technology is? sex. and if its not sex, its drugs. a pod pilot can lay waste to his or her reproductive and inner organs and get replacements without much effort, as long as the only thing that counts, the nervous system, stays intact. i'm pretty sure the pirate factions and syndicate residents are well aware of this and the pleasure hubs outside concord controlled space will propably offer things a non-pod human could enjoy/endure maybe a dozen times at most.
MEK brings me to another interesting point, as it is about posthumanism and implants, and there is also at least one short story from a Shadowrun (Cyberpunk RPG by Fanpro) publication that details the dehumanizing effect of artificial eyes, both for the wearers and those that deal with them. so i've been wondering how implants are viewed in the general non-pod population. do "normal" people use augmentations for everyday purposes (communication, work, sex, whatever)? are obvious implants a common sight in the streets of say... Amarr Prime, or is this limited to taskforce military types and high ranking caldari (who seem to have a lot of metal in their faces)?
personally i like to think of my characters implant heavy clone as a worksuit he has to wear, to him all the metal and plastic is more of a burden. he knows hes one of a chosen few who can deal with the stress of a modified body and pod-stasis and all, so he does it out of a sense of duty, but in his free time he would jump to a "clean" clone to go planetside. hes an intaki treehugger anyways, so he doesnt count

FINALLY new chronicles. And on a regular schedule, too. Even if it was only sort of regular, I'd still love it. The one area where Eve needs most loving is not necessarily content as in game content, but plot. Prime fiction is the basis of plot, therefore prime fiction is good and important to have.
I sure hope factional warfare will make an appearance in a near-future chronicle... and detail which factions are counted as factions, and which are not ______________ Join the Family |

Unless you're Bob Flanagan, I somewhat doubt that genital destruction would ever turn into a recreational activity. Even if you can grown them back afterwards.
As for the implants, it depends. As far as I recall, there's nothing in canon that says they can't be of several different types, ranging from miniature ones that you'd hardly notice, up to these exoskeletal monstrosities. The Amarr upper class use them as jewellery, so they'd have more elaborate constructs, but I suspect other races would go for lighter and less obtrosive stuff. In fact, one of my upcoming stories - the one exerpted in the news piece - has a Caldari man who's given an implant against his will, and the only visible effect is a small scar.
Originally by: Kakita Jalaan I sure hope factional warfare will make an appearance in a near-future chronicle... and detail which factions are counted as factions, and which are not
Factional Warfare will definitely make an appearance. I intend to write at least two chronicles about it, and may do more if I have time and a surplus of ideas. Don't count on the chronicles for too many details on game mechanics, though. I'll do my best to make them correspond to the game proper, but they're intended first and foremost to give the world added depth, not to serve as infodumps. Look to the forum stickies, dev blogs and feature pages for more concrete information. If there's anything we feel that you need to know, believe me, it won't just be hidden in a chronicle.

Interesting story.
Somehow while reading I felt like I was listening to the guy in the Max Payne (c) game who tells the stories in between (and yes that's a damn compliment !).
Very nice

Originally by: Aeaus Nice one, although too stream-of-consciousness for my liking.
Seconded on "nice one", not seconded on the rest. I like the new approach on storytelling to be honest. Gives more of a new-agey feel to the far sci-fi future.
Its so Serenity-ish, and it wins so hard for not only being a great Chronicle, but for being different.

The chronicle was interesting. I enjoyed but always whished the chronocles were longer. More than a 5 second read. oh well. Keep up the good work.
Would be neat to see more interactive chronicles..stories that tie into missions or even official events type thing...
more of an immersion maybe that way

I can't help but wonder how many more commas could be added to the story...
I don't mean to offend, maybe it's the style of writing, the suspect grammar or how it doesn't really flow, but i had to stop reading.

Realising that I didn't actually comment on the story in my previous post, I re-read it and have this to say:
1. There are clearly a lot of angles to flesh out in EVE, and the Sisters of EVE are definitely one of them. I'd like to hear more.
2. The man seems to me to be either Gallente or Caldari. The impersonalness around him suggests Caldari (the AI is a nice touch, and represents another angle that should be explored), but the pamphlets are more Gallente (I think). Because of several tiny flavour elements (the cafT, for one), I feel he's more Gallente. Am I right?
3. There's almost too much of a mystery here. Unless you write a follow-up, the balance between open-endedness and confusion is tilted too much towards the latter. It's a well-written piece, though. I just felt that it could have revealed a little more.
Oh, and re: previous post - please consider the bit about that space at the start of the paragraphs. They really are an eyesore. ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language."

Great story. Great flow, great concept, great thoughts. Applause. Paying Abraxas to do what he is meant to do instead of paying him to be yelled at by players in the GM department is definitely a clever move by CCP. Now I know where to look and what to do every Monday.

Proper paragraphs begin with an indent. I found it made it more readable, actually. The typical Internet facsimile of a paragraph--a block of test separated by a linebreak--is far more painful to read over the course of long treatises than a compact-but-indented style.
All else aside, an excellent move by CCP, and a nice story by Abraxas. Bravo.

Good question. He's Gallente, though the reason for that is mostly that he started off as a side character in a much longer story where he was identified as a Gallentean. I try not to explicitly identify people as members of a particular race unless there's a good reason to do so. It's way too easy to begin relying on stereotypes (Caldari as industrious drones, Amarr as religious zealots, etc.) and hyperbole, and while those have their place, they can at times do disservice to one's characters. Most people are too complex to fall neatly into racial categories.

No worries, there'll be more (though probably not this year). Think of this one as the opening salvo.

That pretty much covers my feelings on the subject. Any text of decent length will have plenty of paragraphs that terminate at the end of the right-hand border, which leaves it up to the indents to show the reader that a new paragraph has started. It's an industry standard, so if it annoys you, you'll be tearing your hair out at any paper-published book you read.
Incidentally, the next piece will be a horror story. No stylistic tricks, but there is an overarching metaphor, and I look forward to seeing how many readers figure it out. There's a good reason why the action will progress through three rooms ...

Very nice! I've been hoping for some new Chronicles for a while now as I can't buy EON. I was getting to the point where I was going to write my own and submit them (which I might still do actually...never say never)
For me it had a very William Gibson sort of feel to it, reminded me of Neuromancer and the lead character Case. I dunno, but I also got a bit of an Alastair Reynolds vibe from it cos of the writing style; but hey that's no bad thing as I'm a fan of both!
Anyway, I liked this Abraxas, and I can't wait to what you've got for us next!

Edited by: SpaceDrake Taleweaver on 25/10/2006 21:03:29 Extremely nice, though as I've said elsewhere I'm venomously jealous of your new job. If there are secret rituals involving goats that will get me a writing job at CCP, let me know.
For my part, I had no problem with the "mystical" element of the story because it's left open to interpretation. Are we seeing Teh Magikz? Is it some kind of technological illusion? Something else entirely? We don't know, and the text allows us to make our own conclusions. I liked that. It's no more "spiritual" than Ametat & Avetat, and that has certain technological explanations as well.
I also liked the AI doc (hooray for ranting at an auditory brick wall), and I agree with your thoughts about cloning - in fact, I had taken it a bit further. With guys who own their own cloning operations, like the infamous Salvador Sarpati, who says they even age? They can just produce a proper-age clone at certain intervals and hop into a new body at their leisure. It's something I'd like to see explored (or explore myself).
Anyway, I await more new stuff with bated breath. --- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?...

Yeah, someone pointed that thread out to me recently. Pretty much every conclusion drawn about me there was off the mark, but I didn't have the heart to weigh in and correct people. I'll be happy to introduce myself at the FF if anyone wants, so long as nobody tries to peek up my kilt or assassinate me to increase their own job chances.
As for the interpretation, good point. Like the man said, Any sufficiently advanced technology etc. For what it's worth, I intentionally wrote this story with overtones of mysticism, and for good reasons that'll become clear when I write the sequels ... but really, when you contrast the marbles with supposedly more 'mundane' elements in the canon, they really aren't that special. When you've got something like Vitoc in the game world, or even just something like Egonics, both of whom are amazing concepts, and when the level of man-machine interaction has risen to the stage where you can actually take a drug to enhance your ship's performance, it's a trivial step to assume that you can invent some manner of item that induces hallucinations, alters mood and causes synaesthesia.

That one's a potential minefield, though. I can't recall what the clone article says about this, but once you've introduced the option of substituting younger or healthier clones, you've effectively handed immortality on a silver platter to anyone with a clone contract and enough money. The Amarrians, who have a fairly theocratical society, would be hit hard by this.
Now, on the other hand, if you're a pirate like Sarpati and thus don't have to play by the normal rules, there's nothing that says you couldn't just activate one of your clones at whatever time you like, thereby doubling your administrative powers. Of course, you'd have to be prepared to deal with someone who was literally your equal, which is probably why the practice hasn't gained much traction among the more cutthroat factions.

This is an interesting point for me, and one which I had started my own "chronicle" around. I could be missing some background here, but my interpretation of the cloning system is this: the clone body is lifeless and the consciousness is 'transmitted'to the station by the pod at point of death. If this is the case then early activation of a dormant clone would just give rise to a dribbling lump of flesh. That's my interpretation of One Man Too Many and Doppelganger.

I hate to keep bringing this up, since it's really nothing to do with the story, but...
Shouldn't the indentation be more than just a single space, then? I mean, a standard indent is usually at least clearly two spaces, if not more. Typically five, in fact.

Standard indentation is two spaces, with the exception of the first paragraph in a chapter. Every indented line in this story has two spaces, not one. You can verify this by copying the text from the story, pasting it into the word editor of your choice and counting the spaces. If it looks like one space, that's just because of the font size and style.
If there's some place in the story where there are not two spaces in an indentation then I've made a booboo, in which case you're welcome to point out the offending paragraph.

It's okay, readability is important. The Internet is awesome, but has yet to match the simple and profound pleasure of a well-typeset book.
The traditional paragraph indent is 1 em. That's a space that varies from font to font, but is theoretically the width of the 'M' character. I think an indent width from 1 em up to the leading (the inter-line distance) works well.
Indents measured in spaces are from typewriting, not typesetting, and have been driving people with even a little typesetting experience crazy for years. :-)
CSS will let you specify indents in ems for web pages (or pixels, or points, et cetera), so you could set a 1 em indent and let it scale automatically with font and text size. I think that will produce more consistent results than any given number of spaces, but it varies by the browser's rendering engine.
The problem is that small indents don't work really well on a monitor (IMNSHO). I don't know if it's because a computer screen glows instead of reflects, or if it's the refresh rates or something, but computer screens are hard for a lot of people to read. In practice, fixes like larger indents or entire blank lines are used, but they don't look quite as finished as the older book-style look.

Well, while we're nitpicking, Abraxas wrote:
"With baited breaths, they course toward their fate."
I believe the word you want is "bated." If I spoke to someone with "baited" breath I would offer them some Dentyne. Quickly.
Beyond that? This was the strongest writing I've read in the Chronicles to date. I'm only 2/3 through them (starting from the most recent and working my way back -- hey! I'm new here!) but this, honestly, shelves you with EVE's best writers.
(And good luck with the whole weekly output thing . You've just invited a world of hurt into your writing life. "Whaddaya mean I have another one due? I just did one!")

-shrug- i didn't like it...
i hate to sound mean, but comments were requested..
I felt the story wasn't put together well..i get that it's about exploration, but it still made no sense. It wasn't well thought out, or executed..Dying man finds hope when he's plucked from his normal life by the sisters, to go hunt down funny colored rocks that make you feel good?....hardly worth reading...
The dialogue was difficult to follow in most places, as was the central narrative..and this is where i had the biggest problem...the central narrative was seriously lacking in tone and substance, and at times was just very lazily put together, having the appearance of having been simply slapped together with no thought put to a flowing, descriptive, atmospheric narrative...it was actually rather frustrating to read....the whole affair left me asking myself "what was the point of this piece?"
There were plenty of words, but no life....i didn't find myself caring about the lead, or about the events...all of the other eve chronicles were very well written, this one was not....i mean, it sounds outstandingly arrogant to say i could do better...but i honestly belive i could..
at any rate..i realise he's just starting at this, so i give the benefit of the doubt...maybe he's a really good writer, and this piece was just a fluke -shrug- who knows...
was i really the only person who didn't like this one?

Well, it started out as a biweekly plan, but we eventually got to the point where it'd take a year simply to publish what I've written and outlined so far. We'll stick to the weekly schedule until the point where I start to burn out, by which time Gnauton will have me tossed to the sharks in the harbour.

Go for it. Seriously. I disagree with your judgment - I feel the story displays a depth and pathos that won't easily be equalled - but if you think you can write a better one, you should absolutely do so. Either you'll find, whether by your own opinion or that of the masses here, that it really isn't as easy as you thought, or you'll find that you were right all along, in which case Gnauton will probably have a brain aneurysm from the sheer joy of having discovered you. It's said that a lot of good writers started off their careers by reading something and thinking, "Hell, I can do better", so if you're one, this could be your catalyst.

At the risk of being dangerously snide, it would help those of us on the "outside" if Gnauton would at least dash off a brief reply to our emails when we do send them in... Even saying "you suck, go die in a hole and never email me again" is better than meeting a wall of silence.

The guidelines are as follows: * Keep the story clean, or at the very least not too grubby * Ensure that it's at least as good as what we've already published * Don't massively violate canon
Apart from that, it's up to you. I assume that you've written enough to develop some kind of personal style, so there's no point in telling you to use a certain tone, emphasize a certain mood or pick some particular subject matter.
Note that I'm not offering you a free ticket to instant publication; you'll need to send the piece to [email protected] and take your chances like everyone else. There's no guarantee that you'll receive a response - it's not up to me to decide or enforce submission policies - so if your main goal is to get feedback and peer review, you'd be better off posting the story on the EVE Library and anywhere else where EVE stories are reviewed.

Don't worry, it's coming.

I know this is almost necro, but I only just got round to reading this, and I have to say the line "-It's a choice between living and dying, the AI said, and he understood." is genuinely beautiful, even if I had to stop and think about it for a second to sort it out. Respect.
