lynaie	Posted - 2004.01.06 15:24:00 - [1] where do the gallente ppl stand? so far ive seen numerous amarr vs minmatar. just want to know why they aren't rping as much.
Maud Dib	Posted - 2004.01.06 15:34:00 - [2] Gallente roleplaying is more of the naughty schoolgirl/nurse kind. It's really all most of them are good for.
Miso	Posted - 2004.01.06 15:42:00 - [3] Its a good point. I think that the Gallente race has the greatest scope to do as they please RP wise. Minmatar tend to RP freedom fighters, Amarr religious zealots, Caldari over testosteroned corp war mongers (and that includes the women), leaving Gallente free to be a mix of any of the above. As an Intaki, I RP as an Intaki seperatist with a slightly kinky demeanour and heavy Minmatar sympathies. Maybe not slightly, but you get the idea So, Gallente are pretty much free to absorb most ideas/conflicts/persona's. Which is nice. -------------------------------------------- Dead

Only the insane prosper, only those who prosper can truly judge what is sane... Try TXI's Cal-afeÖ - That Caldari Power Taste! and now.. Tri-StarsiÖ - Power, Wealth & Revenge!

Silphy	Posted - 2004.01.06 16:28:00 - [8] lol keeping the peace... All i ever hear about amarr doing is causing trouble. If u understood the minmatar dream of freedom and left us to it then that would be keeping the peace. ----------------------------------------------- The Only Way To Stop Violence Is To Kill Everyone
Cavtrooper	Posted - 2004.01.06 16:51:00 - [9] I like to think of Gallente as space hippies....well there is more to them than that...but space hippies is a good generic stereotype for me. It would be nice to see some strong Gallente corps to emerge... AWM Homepage, become a #*%^ Flinging Monkey!!
Jade Constantine	Posted - 2004.01.06 18:50:00 - [10] Edited by: Jade Constantine on 06/01/2004 18:53:08 First off, I don't like to be a wet blanket, but this isn't really the right forum to discuss roleplaying motivation on, since its supposed to be ic. Still, that said, you have a point about the difficulty with the gallente background, in that there isn't an obvious cultural stereotype to plug right into. I think the thing that most defines Gallente is the political radicalism inherent in the background though. Its a national culture that has been through periods of fascist extremism and back to liberal democracy again. There are also dangerous elements of misguided scientic philosophy that can show the perils of unguided pure research environments. (experiments with AI and rogue drones etc). As a rule I would say Gallente is for creative anarchists, fashionable terrorists, anti-establishment guerillas, political radicals, psyops professionals (takes a bow) and various grades of special operations troops for commercial fashion outlets. More definitively. Gallente background is the closest Eve culture to the look and feel of the Ian M Banks "Culture" novels. And is closest in actually to a technological utopian vision. (at least in the making). If you are into individualism and freedom with a blend of hi-tech espionage and "special circumstances" interventionism then Gallente is the culture for you. The difficult thing is that individualism makes for poor national identity. The Caldari have their pseudo-materialist (80's Japan) Statehood, duty and corporate loyalty thing going on / mingled with the "unfinished business" of the homeworld they lost. The Amarr have their pro-slaver semi divine imperial paradim. And its easy to fit a Dune-esq game of houses style reality in that. While the Minmatar have the wonderful tribal freedom fighters angle. *** I would say to be Gallente is to be a free spirit, and to appreciate the freedoms that the Federation have earned by long struggle with their own conscience. I really can't give any better advise than to read some descriptions of Gallente culture in the backstory, have a look at some Gallente corporations, and to consider the interaction of political radicalism and high technology in your own understanding of far future cultural paradigms. For my part? Well, Jericho Fraction is a take on our understanding of political process and Meme conditioning in the long dark years since the closing of the Eve gate. We gained a pespective and enjoy the freedoms of permissive Gallente culture, but of course, part of the process of understanding "what is really going on" is to realise, that nobody and nothing is free from the influences of inherited sociodynamic political programming. In english? All governments are bad. But at least in the Gallente Federation there is the freedom to teach that in schools. And I, as a character, am prepared to shoot people in the back of the head for Federation Intelligence to preserve our children's freedom to call me a political murderer. That contradiction in paradigm is the essence of the gallente background for me. Hope this helps! JF Public Forum

johnathan	Posted - 2004.01.07 01:41:00 - [11] Aritcio Kor-Azor, the new head of the Kor-Azor family and son of the recently appointed Amarr Emperor, was involved in an unspecified 'incident' at an ancient cathedral on his home planet of Eclipticum last week. Aritcio, which has a reputation of enjoying the wild side of life, rented the cathedral for himself and a group of his friends to engage in some 'religious festivities', as he described it. These 'festivities' were abruptly ended when a resident priest accidentally walked in on them and witnessed the 'incident'. Following this 'incident' the cathedral had to be thoroughly cleansed and partly renovated, it has also been revealed that several valuable holy artifacts in the possession of the cathedral had to be destroyed. Naturally, this has upset the religious community on Eclipticum as well as abroad. It is also understood that a foreign exchange student from the Gallente Federation was involved in the 'incident', though it is not known to what extent or purpose. She has already been shipped back to the Federation for medical treatment. The public relations office of the Kor-Azor family has yet to release a statement on the matter, though one is expected in the very near future. gallante girls seem to be realy kinky omfg i think im going to see about shaag Bad command or filename.

Hodokie Seek	Posted - 2004.01.07 02:22:00 - [12] I have tried to role play my character based on what is written in the chronicels mixed with how my character might grow as an Intaki "Reborn Blood Line", orphan, posted how my character came to be in the Eve Library. The unfortunate part though is in RP'ing the Gallente you may be accused of rewriting history if you stray to far outside of how other folks may view them. Just my 2 isk. __________________________________________ Quote: [07:11:41] Hodokie Seek > k, will probably go in my Tristan. [07:12:18] xxxx > tristan? is it a hazardous area?

Pojo	Posted - 2004.01.07 10:31:00 - [14] What role do they play well that easy, they are there so Caldari have something to kill over and over and over and over again... "Caldari capacity for good is only exceeded by our capacity for evil"
Sforza	Posted - 2004.01.07 12:03:00 - [15] Edited by: Sforza on 07/01/2004 13:13:07 Quote: What role do they play well that easy, they are there so Caldari have something to kill over and over and over and over again... Ah, Mr Pojo, you've started to repeat yourself :-] As we discussed in Luminaire local one evening, we Gallente have very little to fear from you Caldari (Or McCaldari as I believe you will be called after corporate sponsorship).. after all, your attempts at warfare recently have consisted of bioweapon snacks. Of course, we Gallente live in fear of the day that you will invent a breakfast cereal that will leap from the box and strangle us! :-] But on the more general point, I pretty much agree with Jade's assesment, especially regarding the Gallente Federation being a proto "Culture". Apart from the obvious history with the Caldari, being Gallente means we can pick and choose those arguments we care about and disregard those we dont. In terms of the WEVE geopolitics as it were, we're aligned with the Minmaters (both in terms of sympathy for there struggle for the end of slavery and the fact that many Gallente citizens are of Minmater descent) which therefore brings us into opposition with the Amarr. Remember, Freedom of Speech.. its a Gallente thing. Regards Sforza CEO Vronsky Brothers and Sons Council Member Ushra'Khan

Y'know, I think you may have something there. I'll have to speak to my head of research, but I'm sure something could be arranged. I'll be sure to send you a free sample, seeing as you were the inspiration for it...

Now if you could invent a breakfast food cereal weapon that expands in the throat, having the effect of shutting us Gallente UP.. you might just have a marketable product Sforza CEO Vronsky Brothers and Sons Council Member Ushra'Khan
Cavtrooper	Posted - 2004.01.07 14:23:00 - [18] Edited by: Cavtrooper on 07/01/2004 14:23:49 Quote: Now if you could invent a breakfast food cereal weapon that expands in the throat, having the effect of shutting us Gallente UP.. you might just have a marketable product After speaking to AWM scientists this is not an option. As the shear volume of propoganda (was going to use a different word, it had to do with male cows and their by-products) created and expelled by the average Gallente spokesperson would surely dislogdge any blockage. Not too mention that even if a total disruption was possible, the ensuing explosion may injure any Caldari in the solar system. I would show you the equations that prove this, but the technology is still classified. We will continue to research this possibility, but the enormous volumes of "hot air" that you create make it difficult to block. AWM Homepage, become a #*%^ Flinging Monkey!!

Yes Vendris thats a very interesting method of supprise but not very efficient as you leave a very unsatisfied customer who depending if they have a clone may/may not bring anymore business our way. But how does this sound, how about start putting vitoc in Gallente breakfast cereal ? Then the Amarr can have all the Gallente slave girls we can sell to them it looks like a good market at the moment. Introduce the antidote into some other high priced product and bingo another instant high value market. - - - - - - - - -

Granted, we Gallente don't have a unified front the way the other races seem to. Instead, our common face seems to be that we have no common face. Quote: The unfortunate part though is in RP'ing the Gallente you may be accused of rewriting history if you stray to far outside of how other folks may view them. (OOC): Well, there isn't a great deal of background material to work with when it comes to Gallente. Personally, I think that's a good thing, as it gives us the freedom to come up with our own diverse backgrounds. And besides, just because someone accuses you of rewriting history, it doesn't mean that they are right. You can always consider them to be the Eve equivalent of a flat-earther... There's no meaning to life when you cling only to common sense

Celebon	Posted - 2004.01.08 09:48:00 - [28] Edited by: Celebon on 08/01/2004 09:53:02 as this is technically an ooc thread: ((nearly everything i've heard during the attacks when i've been online was along the lines of oooh Iteron V. ATTACK! MAIM! boom. got him! oops i'm dead again! Now, not all of the dudes were in ItV's but having a Noob in an Iteron V? think not. True, i wasn't there, but afaik, pojo wasn't targetting new players and he's been loosing a lot of ships. But as to the thread... yes I feel that gals have the widest oppertunity to do whatever they want. They aren't bound by a very heavy racial stereotype that bnds them into thinking one way in RP terms ie the caldari nationalists, ammar slavers, minmitar freedom fighters. Hell, you can much more easily get involved in any of the other races storylines IMO due to the presenece of intakis who fight for caldari, gals who fight alongside minms for liberty and well... kinda runs out at amarrs, excepting for love slaves but you get the point. i hope. chuckle Those parts seem to be already worked into their RP identity in the game.))

Gallente stand at the wrong end of a very big gun. I fear that your political and militaristic radicalism will cost your beloved "State" more than it will benefit. I applaud your spirit in trying to reclaim your home for I would do the same as well. However to resort to certain tactics you have and are employing to garner support will bring about the end you seek. It will only bolster our resolve to retain and hold Caldari Prime until the day we see fit to let it go. I implore you to seek an audience with the Federation Senate and present your case before your actions pull our two States into a bloody and unnecessary war. û Admiral Rinekar Koensayr Drive Yards [KOEN] Website
