I'm afraid that I have to disagree with Hardin. It was definitely Bobby Ewing who rose from the dead in Dallas.
I can agree with other stuff he said though!
As I've said elsewhere...
I think that what annoys me here is that:
* Last year Ginger went on the record stating that the delay in FW would not delay a new Emperor showing up. We now see that that was wrong.
* After the Tetrimon arc was leaked CCP said that their policy was to abandon story arcs that were leaked. Fair enough. But longer term players may remember the rumours going around in 2004 that there would be a crisis in the Empire and that Jamyl would return to save the day and then be crowned. Rumours of Jamyl's survival have persisted since then. Now my memory's not totally clear on this, but wasn't one of the main people spreading that rumour also involved in the Tetrimon leak?

Heirs aren't allowed to use clones.
The flesh of the Emperor must be pure.
It's in the chronicles.

So the farce that is the Amarrian God and the Royal Court is coming to an end. Deal with it. Let CCP take the story where they want.
But why bother writing all of the old PF just to throw it out of the window?
And who's to say that they won't just throw out the new PF when they decide that it's also inconvenient?
Why should any of us bother incorporating any of CCP's backstory into our RP when they're going to re-write it when the mood takes them?
The way things are, I may as well have been RPing a hobbit all of these years. It would have made as much sense after all of this ret-conning. |

This just in: Jamyl (pictured second from left) celebrating with the rest of her friends and advisors.
 Please visit your user settings to re-enable images.
When asked about her abrupt return, she replied with a sullen, "braaaaiiins."
Is that Stavros on the right? |

Long winded complaint about Cannon.
Do I really need to point out Khanid refused suicide, broke away and formed his own empire? Jamyl easily could have faked her suicide and simply was in hiding until the time was right or any number of things. You dont really expect the royal heirs to follow the rules and be obiedent to tradition when it means they and those that support them could lose out, do you?
That's the point though - Khanid didn't end up as the Emperor. |

Another question surrounds Jamyl's racism.
IIRC she only allowed Amarrian wingmen to fly for her during the Championships. As such, she clearly believes in the supremacy of the Amarr race. It seems that her views on inter-racial harmony are akin to Josef Goebels'.
And yet, who here expects her to kick non-Amarrians out of the 24th Crusade if she takes power? From a game balance point of view, it's not very likely is it?
So the question must be - what changed her mind? |

Now you have to get out there in space and prove your worth. You have to look to newsfeeds and story items to help justify your IC faith. Sucks to be you having to now act like everyone else in EVE.
I've been out in space proving my worth since before I joined PIE, thank you very much. |

If the Jamyl plot were transplanted into the real world, we'd have something along these lines:
The war in Iraq takes a turn for the worse.
Onoes! Mahdi Army paratroopers are landing in New York!
George W Bush goes missing.
Ronald Reagan takes his old desk in the Oval Office, says "You ain't seen nothin' yet" and nukes Basra.
The only people to comment on this are Barack Obama and John McCain who say "Reagan for President!", even though he's ineligable. And dead.
TBH, I've seen better plots in a Jeffrey Archer novel.

There's been plenty of hints in prime fiction over the years about Jamyl still being alive too...
For the benefit of the newcomers to Eve PF, perhaps you'd care to provide links to some of these hints?
