Of course CCP will not allow the Gallente to actually lose. Nothing significant will ever happen based on player FW fights, anything you do will eventually be overruled by the official story, written months in advance, that you just get to read over downtime on the next patch day.
This is of course one of many reasons why FW is a complete failure.

Blaster sig removed for now, pending those "changes we've been working on all day". CCP, don't screw this up.

I just wish that the Gallente could consume the Caldari. . . . I started playing Caldari before I read the story line, Now I want to be all life, liberty, and the pursuit of freedom, with the Gallente. . . But even though its not a terribly large sum of SP Im not gonna throw away 4 mil SP just to make a Gallente char. . . So I guess I'll just have to take my Caldari Faction Gear and go fight the good fight with the Gallente :P
Yeah, freedom in the hypocritical American sense: you're free as long as you use your freedom to do exactly what we want, otherwise we just kill all of you. Read the background material on the Caldari/Gallente war and tell me the Gallente really care about freedom.
Get used to it: there are no good guys in EVE, only different kinds of evil.

Silly kids and your modern politics... I wasn't referring to the Iraq war with that comment about "American hypocrisy". Go back a bit earlier in history, and look at all the various incidents during the Cold War. American policy was essentially "Yay freedom! Yay democracy! Unless you're a dirty commie!". How many governments did we overthrow because the people used their freedom and democracy to elect someone we didn't like? Or how about the Gallente giving weapons to Minmatar terrorists freedom fighters, just like we did in Afghanistan against the Soviets?
The Gallente attitude towards the Caldari attempt to leave the Federation is so close to Cold War-era American policy that I really have to wonder if CCP intentionally borrowed from that part of history in writing the background material. Despite what the Gallente fanboys want to think, the Gallente are NOT the all-perfect good guys. There are no good sides in EVE, only different shades of gray.
