Well Doriam Kor-Azor has been crowned.
The heirs and Jamyl Sarum accepted Doriam's position as Emperor and committed ritual suicide.
This is the proper way of things! They have acted in the interests of a strong and unified Amarr Empire.
It is now beholden on all Amarr to pledge their loyalty to the new Emperor and cease the sniping that has taken place from the sidelines.
Doriam Kor-Azor is the legitimate Emperor and he deserves our support as long as he acts within the guidelines laid down by Amarrian holy scripture.
Let us unite now and deal with the many threats that face the Emperor in the shape of the ongoing campaign of Minmatar terrorists and the mulitude of pirates that are plaguing the Empire's spacelanes!
Long Live The Emperor

Because some people enjoy playing Eve beyond shooting at things or mining them. Besides, Amarr foreign policy will change, and that'll have great effects.

I am severely disappointed in CCP. When we got events in Asheron's Call, they consisted of GM-run Ultimate Bad Guys interacting with the players, worldwide invasions, and epic battles.
Maybe AC1 spoiled me, but IMO this was a pathetic excuse for an event.
anÀtiÀcliÀmax n. (1) A decline viewed in disappointing contrast with a previous rise: the anticlimax of a brilliant career.
(2) Something trivial or commonplace that concludes a series of significant events: After a week of dramatic negotiations, all that followed was anticlimax.
(3) A sudden descent in speaking or writing from the impressive or significant to the ludicrous or inconsequential, or an instance of it: ôWaggish non-Yale men never seem weary of calling æfor God, for Country and for YaleÆ the outstanding single anticlimax in the English languageö (Time). - - - -

Edited by: Negotiator on 29/11/2003 21:01:41 Edited by: Negotiator on 29/11/2003 21:00:11 omg...how can people not see one thing - THIS IS NOT A PLAYER EVENT. The player event was the actual championship. This is just a GREAT continuation of the storyline, thanks to the Devs. Huge events like these will not be player-driven because of the lag and the fact that such great number of people will not be able to take an important role in events. IMHO the devs got it right - have Aurora project do smaller-scale player events that arent announced 2 months before hand. They need to start doing more of those events, but at least they are doing something. Would you rather have this event written in the peek of the week? Retarded... Im kinda sorry i didnt have a chance to be present at the actual ceremony, i would have loved to see this whole thing play itself out.

I've actually passed the point of hoping for good stuff to be introduce now and have cancelled my subs becuase I'm fed up of "soon(tm)"...
Eve has all the potential there yet it's being squandered by what CCP thinks an "event" is... They go on about how wonderful their system is to handle 10,000 online at the same time yet when more than 100 arrive at an event it kills the servers. To be honest I've just got past caring now.
If CCP ever finally do get content added to the game and consistantly add more (not one event per quarter) then I'll probably come back but as it is, Eve is going downhill fast. -------------------------------------------

For now. What about the rogue Sarum forces, especially now that they're leaderless (no heir, remember?)? I quite like the twist, and it was nice watching it play out. Also, thankfully, in this game we don't have Ultimate Bad Guys on one side and Jesus Christs and Captain Americas on the other.

Thankfully???
That's what is missing the most in eve... Goals!
Things to work for... right now, there isn't much goals in EVE except personal one like buying a Battleship, but once you got one, what's left?
I would really appreciate to have some very evil NPC to hunt, with big rewards on their heads, and high political figures that "evil" players could murder and influence the history this way...
Players were supposed to be able to influence the events deeply, but 'till now, only a very small number, a very select few, have managed to do 1 event that would influence things...
1 Event in 7 months of play!
And for the last month, what have we got? no POTW, not much news, no patch, not much in fact...
How can CCP expect its player base to stay if things keep going this way...
Right now, Research is very disapointing, i had big hopes for that, hoping to improve items with research, making weapons fire at longer range, do more damage, or use less CAP etc... reverse engineering rare loot, and then researching them to improve them even more, etc... but what do we have? BP that are mostly only useful to research up to ME 5 and researching PE is worthless, then, what do we have left? copies... making more and more copies! pfff...
It would take only a few changes to make this game go from "so-so with great graphics" to totally awesome, but these changes aren't coming, and this is too bad!

I would like my corp to have a Titan or a Starbase, that's a goal, but i can't have such a goal for now... i could have a Goal of being a well know scientist with some of the best highly researched BP around, but that's not possible for now... so what?
I could have a Goal of being the bigest Podkiller in the universe, that would do, but i'm not a pirate...

You guys really think sarum is dead, comone this is the old diversion trick. iam 100% sure that she is still alive that's why she didnt designe a heir this would make this much more complicated for her.

Edited by: Shadowblood on 29/11/2003 22:49:42 I see lots of complaining the GM's who were local even hinted there is more to the Sarum aspect of this then you people understand. Sarum forces attacked and now have No leader. So you'd have to imagine either they will fight amongst themselves for leadership or they will nominate a leader and possibly go tack to attacking amarr. I think way to many people have ADD around here.
Also unless sarum has a clone she's very much dead.

No, that's a tool. While I do agree that many things are missing from the game atm, there's still ample possibility for content (like the Venal wars & the creation of the NVA - that was IMHO great stuff), and with the release of Castor, it looks like things will improve significantly. Bottom line, there are no CCP-created Lex Luthors and Lucifers here; instead, players are given tools to create their own empires and realize their ambitions, and inevitably this will drive them into conflict. That's the premise at least, and things are definitely (if slowly) moving there, and as I said, even with the sparse tools we've had now there's been some great stuff (as mentioned above; also, the original and creative Drink Starsi r0xx0rs j00 and every Caldari should apply. ).

There's more to setting goals than merely acquiring stuff or doing some random GM-provided quest. Look at Jera. She seems to have the goals of working up the Caldari people and getting them to drink Starsi. She's also a pretty staunch opponent of the various anti-Sukuuvestaa privateers. She can have all sorts of fun working towards those goals: political intrigue; black market dealings; battles with her opponents; the list goes on.
Look at PIE. They've got all sorts of goals that don't involve piling up stuff and doing quests. They've been having fun working towards those goals for a while now.
Look at yourself, Zoltaris. Surely you've got something that you'd like to do that doesn't involve filling your hangar or doing overblown agent missions. Pick something. Anything. Pick a goal out of a hat. You say you're not a pirate. Pick the goal of being the best pirate hunter in Eve, then. Maybe you would like to carve out a little empire for your corp. Do that. Others are doing that very thing right now. The point is that you need to pick your goal yourself. CCP can give you an arena in which to work towards your goal. They can't find you a purpose. You need to do that yourself.

Jamyl named no heir and Sarum's Military is a large part of the military as a whole. Something has to be going on and may lead to infighting of her forces hopefully.
And who knows, maybe she aint dead

There were a few players that had acquired some information regarding Doriam and who had been trying to present it to House Sarum and the other Heirs for days prior to the ceremony and during the ceremony and by email. No response to the email, every attempt to initiate conversation rejected, and one of us apparently was told by a GM that no talking to the Heirs or other officials at the ceremony would be allowed. So basically in this desert of lack of content, a player initiative to get something going even if it be just having a RP conversation with someone official has been totally blocked and rejected.
I have been in a total of 4 events since EVE started, and so far like all the others this one suffers from being scripted to death. There was literally 0 interaction as the script played itself out regardless of whatever the players wanted to do, even to change the outcome ever so slightly or to put new twists upon the situation. Take the DED operation of several months ago. Those that participated were not exactly pleased because that event was a failure because the players didn't do what the script had expected and the organizers failed to adapt when their plans didn't come to pass.
Obviously there can't be utter derailing due to player actions but right now there is little point in calling these "events." Last night was not an event so much as a play, in which every little bit of player action was totally blocked from really doing anything. It might as well have been filmed and put up as a video file or a peek of the week for all the interaction there was. I literally sat there hands off keyboard for almost 2 hours while the script played out a scant few km in front of me.
When EVE started, me and my friends were a dedicated group of 5 RPers. Between us 5 we have participated in about 5 events since EVE started. Due to the dismal way things have been handled for months now, 1 quit EVE altogether, and the rest quit bothering with RP and events after the failure of the DED operation. Now this latest deliberate attempt to block all player initiative and relentless execution of their prewritten script regardless of any and all player action or words means they've probably lost me as an RPer and event participator as well. Given the continued attempts to make players into puppets or bystanders in these "events" and the flaws elsewhere in the game (yes I've tried nearly everything else at least for a bit), I probably won't be renewing my subscription either.

( Lord Zeppe : i always use brackets when i'm talking ooc (out of character).
Zoltaris : a ship (even a battleship) is not a goal, but a tool. It may be a needed tool to reach your goal, at best. If you want to have a glimpse to what my goal could be, check Drink Starsi ingame website. )

Events that last 2 hours and are planned way in advance with no chance of changing them wont cut it anymore. There’s no way for the player base to start any fighting, it just doesn’t work since there’s nothing in it for them to start with. Pathetic events that appear like "chase the group of naughty pilots" which I'm sadly expecting to happen with this scenario will not attract my attention anymore since they lead to nothing.
What is needed is the possibility of daily interaction and progress were people can actually make a difference no matter how small in a factional or " Pick a side" way with advantages and disadvantages. Sadly I can see now that Ccp plans to tell us a nice story over the boards and offer us no other way to effect it other than a few select events were only a few can participate and ultimately there is no goal other than personal advancement. I wonder what this game would be like if people actually felt they were working for something bigger than themselves. But since this post will never be read by a dev most likely I hardly expecting anything.
I’d love to rp but I’m slightly annoyed and let down as you can probably tell

I throughly enjoyed this event, I travelled from deep within the Stain region to attend this event, and I believe it was well worth the journey and risk.
It was great to watch the Imperial starships of the royal heirs stroll into the ceremony, and the ceremony went smoothly albeit with a little lag...
Before we were allowed into the event, we had to remove all our modules, and I was a little uneasy at this... my battleship would be defenceless, even without a shield booster!
Well my fears were realised when the Sarum warships warped into the ceremony and started attacking the new Emperor!
I felt helpless yet I still locked target on the aggressors, and was a little conserned when their battleships engaged my naked Apocalypse!
I was relieved when Lady Sarum called cease fire, but I was willing to sacrifice my ship if it meant some of the firepower was redirected at me rather than our glorious Emperor!
Thanks for a great event, and I pray long life for the Emperor!
