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.) Indeed and that is why FW has failed, there is no market to then show people how valuable Amarrian imperial content becomes. In EVE in circumstance like this many free lancer then switch to the losing side and farm LP and sell the FW items for massive profits until the other sides content becomes valuable. I believe the real problem lies in the fact that CCP decided to release FW 2.0 with out adding a p2p market.
If we had this, then everyone would just trade the gear that they don't use for gear that they do use; irregardless of LP store.
Use Combat Rifles over Rail Rifles? No problem. Just trade your RR and get a CR.
It's exactly like the last FW event, but reversed. Which is utter BS.

The PoW thing is a worrying thing though, glad I brought that to light for everyone.
Just so everyone is aware, each race has their own ways of dealing with information gathering from prisoners. There have been several interesting chronicles written about this, for example here is one about the Amarr: http://community.eveonline.com/backstory/chronicles/methods-of-torture-the-amarr/
However as far as I know not other empire champions justice, fair treatment, and human rights so much so as the Gallente, and yet we see examples of physical torture against the male Caldari captured, and **** amongst the women.....
That is a very clear sign that not all in the Federation is the shining example most people seem to have of them. If the Gallente truly do believe in equal right and fair treatment they have no excuse of this poor display.

This is my point. The Amarr aren't nut jobs, they just believe in a God, which is not better or worse than anyone else's beliefs, whether or not you agree with faith you cannot condemn it.
Ever man or woman can choose to have hope.
(IRL I could understand why people believe in whatever they do, its a pretty nice way of looking at things, to have hope that things can always be better. I simply don't, doesn't mean I think they are crazy or foolish....I'm young and there are a lot of things I don't understand, it would almost be too easy to call them nut jobs....)

I don't give 2 ***** about the "brutal" culture of the minmatar, but caldari and gallente are the same from what I understand. Just the caldari are honest assholes, while the gallente are assholes with masks on.

That's pretty much it, what we know as slavery is something entirely different, our social climate abhors it, but several hundred years ago it was what it was, several thousand it was necessary, tribes and clans would fight, make slaves of their enemies ( might I point out like the Minmatar did in antiquity) for the continued cycle of their existence, as warriors protected them, women produced the finished good of the raw materials the slaves would harvest.
New Eden isn't like our world its equally as brutal and violent as those ages of antiquity were.
The only moral compass we can draw from is our own we have developed IRL....but that is not cut out for life in New Eden. Basically I figure if we, as we are now, lived in New Eden we would all be dead within the week, or worse.

Copied this from another thread:
I always wish I could edit those descriptions, even if only to add the following TL;DR's to relate to the real world;
1) Amarr: I'll go with the above part about Rome, etc. (In another post of the original thread they mentioned how the Amarr were like ancient rome who assimlated other cultures into their own and tried to bring them up to "roman" standards)
2) Gallente: Herp derp freeeeeedom. Think George W. Bush's America with even more drug cartels, torture and paternalist imperialism, but less religion. (Maybe calling it DIckCheney's america would be even better, lol)
3) Caldari: Pure unabashed capitalism, rebelled from the Gallente because they were treated like second class citizens or even illegal immigrants
4) Minmatar: A brutish race ruled by tribal customs forced to work as indentured servants by the Amarr in a heavy-handed attempt to "civilize" them.

But that's the value of creativity, even as an Amarrian I could choose any theme I wished to from new eden and theme a character in that sense, I could have made him positive towards the Gallente, seeing the merits of diverse though as opposed to uniform thought, and since the Amarr celebrate individuality it would have been cake to slip True in there.
Frankly speaking every racial group has endless opportunities to expand in New Eden.

Though I understand if you personally have a hard time distinguishing the difference between Amarr "slavery" and 16th/17th century slavery on Earth. Hint, one of them is only called "slavery" by their enemies to attack them, when in actuality the "slaves" are given proper education, proper health care, infrastructure on their homeworlds, rights to retain their culture, respect, and are usually freed within one generation.

But yes, the negatives of Amarr is that there are those slave owners who treat their slaves brutally and don't get caught, but that is not representative of Amarr in general.

Do a little research on them. They had immense amount of freedom and even power back in middle east. Yet despite that they were still slaves.
My real issue with the Amarr is not so much slavery, it is why they enslave and how they feel about everybody else. I just don't like the way they act and how they believe they are so superior.
For example I like Sansha's Nation, had they been a playable faction I would have chosen them without a second thought. I also like the Khanid, they enslave anybody they can, not for religious reasons or because they feel superior, no they do it because they want to make money. The Romans for example did not enslave people for the reason that they wanted to change or convert others, it is true that they enslaved people because they were "barbarians", they did it for the purpose of labor, a necessary evil of sorts. I suppose that the fact that the Amarr don't admit that is a turn off.

For everyone's education.
Slavery for a long time was not the slavery we had in America. Read up on Portugese slave codes, which is where we adopted them from. Slavery in Africa, which is where the majority of slaves were bought from, was not about race, it was about spoils of war. I capture you in tribal fighting, you are now my slave. Also, you weren't a slave for life, you were a slave for a set period of time. And any children you had were not slaves, since they had not been captured. They were as free as any other nonslave.
The Portugese, needing a perpetual work force to have labor for their sugar crops in the Carribean, created "slave codes" which stated that slavery was based on race, you were a slave for life, and slavery was inherited from the parents.
Originally in America, we had no idea how to treat slaves. There are documents showing that some slaves were able to sue their masters for mistreatment and win. But then we adopted the slave codes of the Portugese to have labor for growing tobacco and after that, cotton. Thus we have the idea of slavery as this awful thing, which it truly was. But it wasn't always the way it is shown now. We turned it into that.
The Amarr treat their slaves better than we have ever seen slaves treated here on Earth. Hell, the Anmatar liked them so much they joined up with them.
It isn't clear-cut in New Eden. Each race has their own damning and redeeming factors. |

The Amarr's slavery is just as terrible as it sounds. They used to enslave absolutely everyone they came across that didn't immediately accept their religion, often times not even asking them if they would before beginning the process of enslavement. Not only that, they aren't required to free their slaves. They're encouraged to release their slaves when they feel that their slaves have properly embraced the faith, but they get to decide that, plus the slaves are forcefully converted, too. Most slaves are never emancipated unless they act like loyal dogs to the Amarr faith. Other than the Amarr's views on slavery and their dogmatic approach to religion, they're not so bad, though.
I've never viewed the Caldari as evil. They're just highly capitalistic. Of course, having the State run by corporate executives... there's just so much wrong with that idea. Despite that, the Caldari are pretty fair. I actually like the Caldari for the most part, especially now that Tibus Heth is gone.
The Gallente act like Americans. Highly individualistic, a lot of focus on personal liberties and entertainment, with a constant internal struggle between liberty and security within the Federation itself. For the most part, the Gallente are the most fair when it comes to civil and personal freedom, which is why I like them the most.
The Minmatar Republic is full of corruption, perhaps even more so than the Caldari. Their tribal views are also in conflict with the rest of the cluster, and they are deeply motivated by retribution. They're willing to attack their own allies to achieve revenge against a single man. The only reason I can tolerate the Minmatar is because they're allies with the Federation. I sympathize due to their former enslavement at the hands of the Amarr, but that's all. Other than that, I have nothing but contempt for them.
What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?
The pile of garbage looks nicer.

Its not nearly as terrible as it sounds. Slaves are cared for and treated better than most of those in Gallentean slums could ever hope for, they are educated in the ways of the Amarr, which is not such a bad thing, considering most lessons would be on Amarrian culture and history, it also makes sense because no racial groups educations systems are impartial.
Holder's aren't required to free slaves though they consider it their sacred duty to strive to have those under their care accept the Amarrian faith. Again not so bad, eventually exposure to one cultural group or another rubs off one people (we are now exception IRL) most Minmatar slaves spend their lives being educated this way, much like many free Minmatar come to the opposite conclusion. Such is just how you were raised. There are no lies in this education, in the same manner Amarr are educated so too are the slaves.
Do you wish to mention that there are example of Minmatar returning to the Republic, holding their ceremonies because they continue to embrace the faith being abused and killed for their choices?

Yeah, I think the American south is a much worse parallel to the Amarr than say, Ancient Rome and their assimilation of other races and "romanizing" them. Although, the best analogy is probably the misguided but non-malevolent "white man's burden" of the Victorian-era British empire.

Although, the best analogy is probably the misguided but non-malevolent "white man's burden" of the Victorian-era British empire. You probably shouldn't use terms such as "white man" when describing the Amarr as such terms are mostly used when discussing racism, which the Amarr are certainly not. In fact, the Amarr Empire is very ethnically diverse, second only to the Gallente Federation. Contrary to popular belief, the Amarr are very accepting of other races and culture practices, of course the catch is they are strict on religious views.
However, at least there are no tensions between the various races in the Amarr Empire, except maybe between the True Amarr and Khanid which is only a very mild tension. Meanwhile in the Gallente Federation, tensions have never been higher between Gallente bloodlines and Matari bloodlines (those Matari that are Federation citizens). Quite frankly, most Gallenteans don't like, or even hate, the Matari immigrants.

This was definitely a disgusting travesty to be sure, and I assure you, I too am equally enraged with my ancestors treatment of the Caldari. To actually assume them to be sentient creatures capable of complex thought was wrong of us, and for that, we deeply apologize.

And this is the prime example of the standard Gallentean.

As many people have said to me, I shall adjust my comment for you...
"No one wants your (Faith) Freedom!"
Comment is an insult as well, scum like you shame the Gallente.
People like Arkena, Jakar, etc those are you Gallentean elite...the rest of you are disappointments.
