No matter how you mask it, the Amarr are religious conquers that enslave people. While the Caldari are large government people that control their citizens with something akin to janisariers and serfdom, as well as their leaders are large corporate capitalists.

To go beyond that you would need to make explanations for the Caldari and Amarr much more lengthy.

When you start to get more into the story the lines between right and wrong start to blur, but even then the Caldari and Amarr are still seen as somewhat bad guys.

I know I was originally going to choose Amarr, my thinking was, "These guys are like Crusaders in space, on a mission from the divine... o.O". Then I read they enslaved people and I said "**** that, I hate social injustice like that.".

Then I read about the Caldari and thought "Wow, space Communists! Cool!", BUT!- I then did EXTRA research online and realized that they weren't communists at all and thought "These guys aren't even trying to really help people, they are just what would happen if Japan was administered by Wal-Mart and they all decided to look like grey communists".

The CaldarI and Amarr just aren't appealing unless you want to be an antagonist, or possibly if you want to be a reformer, IE an Amarr that wants to free the slaves or a Caldari that wants more social liberties.

But let me ask you True, how would you have written the descriptions?

smells like propaganda to me

Yeah, because how dare anyone say there is any right in religious slavery

Did you even read it? Or just instant "WINmatar, trust in rust!"

The Amarr attacked the Jove with the intention of conquering and enslaving them. The Jove are neither violent or primitive. The Jove have few numbers and the Amarrians perceived them as weak and easily conquerable.

Gallente is like sex.

Even bad sex is good.



Yup, even that kind.

I could tell you all the wrongs in this post but then you'd learn something & I wouldn't have a warm feeling in my heart knowing one day you just can't hit and quit all them kittens

I'd rather you didn't tell me everything wrong with your post either, I can see just fine from here.

If Gallente could only go left, they'd still be right.

Just some working ideas on new descriptions. I'm no writer but nonetheless I think it gets the point across that each description needs to start out positively, tread on some negatives, then return to some positives.

Amarr
The Amarr Empire is the oldest and largest of the four empires. Based strongly around their religion with their mighty Empress at the head, they believe it is their responsibility to unite all the people of New Eden. To achieve this, they search for primitive worlds and guide them as parents to modern education and standards of living. Part of this guidance involves hardships, which some brutally take too far. In the end, the captured race is welcomed as full citizens among the Amarr Empire. This mass unity of peoples has brought great stability to New Eden.

Minmatar
Once a tribal and primitive people, they were captured by the Amarr many years ago. They believed their parental guidance to be more of a slavery, and rebelled against their oppressors. Through foreign aid, they were able to break free of their bondage with the Amarr Empire and form their own Minmatar Republic. To this day, they still hold onto their tribal ways making them quite aggressive in diplomatic affairs. They have won their freedom against all odds and proudly carry forth their culture into these new days.

Gallente
The second largest of the four empires, the Gallente Federation represents the only true democracy of New Eden. As they took to the stars, they actively searched for all other signs of life and liberated them from their old ways, spreading the ideologies of freedom and individuality across New Eden. With such a large democracy, some corruption has taken root such leading to terrifying treatment of POWs and accepting civilians as collateral during war. Regardless, the Gallente Federation remains the last hope of democracy in New Eden.

Caldari
Caldari State is a capitalistic society run by a number of megacorporations. Once a member of Gallente Federation, the Caldari seceded as they believed the Federation was unfairly taking advantage of their fiscal gains and taking away their cultural identity. While a society run entirely by corporations presents a cold and harsh reality, their culture is founded around the ideals of honor and duty as well as their motto, "All For The Good Of Many."

The Caldari is perfect. The Amarr needs to show that they actually enslaved the minmatar. The Minmatar just need a few minor word changes. And the Gallente needs to be more noon friendly I honestly still don't know what POWs means.

POW's means prisoners of war.

Why are you here? Go to the Intergalactic Summit.

Nobody but other RP'ers care, everyone else is just going to use the race that has the best equipment. (Minmatar, at the moment, that's why we win all the FW matches.)

See and this is what I think CCP needs in their descriptions, all sound positive, all have one or two negative points which counter balance the good.

The PoW thing is a worrying thing though, glad I brought that to light for everyone.

The issue I have with the Caldari is that somehow they are big capitalists but all their products are made extremely practical and they do not attempt any sort of marketing to appeal to the masses, there is no competition. The Government is a collective oligarchy that somehow gets things done really easily.

It just sounds so implausible, it is like a society that depends on the fact that everybody just agree with each other for the better of everybody. Which begs the question, what do the CEO's do with all the money they get? I'm under the impression that they either agree to pay very high taxes or they voluntarily pump it back in the state. That's the other thing, they somehow have very low corruption despite having very lax rules about business.

I know they were going with the whole "Space Sparta" deal but even Sparta had a ton of slaves to fuel their economic needs. There biggest similarity is that both Caldari and Sparta were dependant on constant warfare to survive.

The Amarr are alright I guess, but I just personally don't like slavery, but as I said that is my personal issue.

But they did enslave anyone that opposed them, they didn't treat them better because they were more advanced they treated them better if they didn't resist.

Also the way they go about releasing slaves is that it usually takes countless generations of people and the finding of a new race or races to take their place. Although not as evident now, the Amarr economic system used to rely on constant expansion and capture of slaves to fuel their massive Empire. So it was more than a religious desire it was a necessity to expand, conquer and enslave. Not really different from most large Empires in human history; Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, Safavid Empire, Mughal Empire and even the Aztec (te-he) Empire; just to name a few.

I would like to reiterate that this is all my personal opinion.
