Just to make it clear, i have no intention in my post to either insult France/Frances History, nor depict any sort of racism towrads french people.
Im just pointing out the obvious.
''France and Greece have nothing in common history-wise nor anything-wise, other than the fact that both entities lie within europe, as i stated earlier.''
And to reply to someone who posted above that ''the game'' makes it rather clear that the Gallente are just of French origin, but nevertheless, every other sort of link is lost between the French and the Gallente, then why do 90% of Gallente NPCs still carry French names? :)
Maybe, before the big kaba-boom in EvE universe, before the gates collapsed, maybe, the Greeks had dominated the world or something, hence the Gallente and the Amarr and the Caldari are influenced by Greek History/Names/Mythology. And the minmatar just existed, as a flaw of nature or something.
That would make sense, but i find it highly unlikely something like that to have happened. But we dont know, since we dont have much pre-EvE background on our hands.
And Gallente have lost their true link with the frenchies eh? Well, what happened then and they got so influenced by the Greeks then? Especially after the re-creation of EvE-Society like as i estimate approx. 20,000 years *after* the ancient greeks actually existed. They remembered them now? How? All links to Earth were lost due to the said big-kaba-boom.
That arguement doesnt stand, nor makes any sense.
As to the peep who did the first reply in this topic :
Saying something among the lines of : ''It's an inside joke of Oveur and TomB'', would make much more sense and be more persuasive than what you wrote my friend :)
And guys, please dont get this topic locked cause of your stupid jokes/links about the french. If a Forum Moderator is watching this, please delete the french-jokes-related posts. I dont want this to de-reail into that and succumb into a flame fest.
Despite my posts being ''funny'' and humourous in a way, i still expect a decent answer from someone. Im just making them seem as humourous, so they are more plausible to read through :)
though I like your nationalist sentiments the french and greek DO share a common heritage: the greek were the first to run their state on the ratio and found a democartic rule (albeit only adult free sane men could vote), and US and the french were also the first to throw off the yoke of the aristocracy and priesthood, claiming again the ratio as a basis to run a state on. Human rights, a chosen government etc etc etc.
Perhaps the french originators of the gallente named their ships in honor of the greek myths, to commemorate the fact that the gallentean roots stem from the greek in first place, then the french and the US. (the US lost the human rights thing after kennedy was shot though, arcing more towards military industrial caldari notions.... lol)
tbh honest though you sound more like an angry nationalist greek than someone looking for a real answer. change your tone and people might take you more seriously.
also, as for the names, if all the gallentean agents were called papadaparappaslappamappadopolis I would have become minmatar.
