Get your head out of your ass please.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your response. Nonetheless, my points still stand that the Gallente are only using the Minmatar as puppets of war, which we both agree on.
Well the Amarr are also playing the Caldari against the Gallante.
Neither the Gallante nor Amarr wat to be caught in a handicap match, neither want a 2v1.
The Minmatar can't really powerplay and the Caldari don't have enough influence to seriously manipulate a larger opponent.

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.) They are convinced that the Amarr and Caldari have a harder time winning in FW because of the way CCP markets the factions. To be honest it should be backward, more hardcore players should be more prone to pick Caldari and Amarr. So this all circles back to the fact that most people want to be Gallante and Minmatar while Caldari are third popular and Amarr are the least popular. My theory is that there's something fundamental in the attraction the Ammarian race has for players who don't have the heart for a real fight. Whereas on the Minmatar side, we're just getting warmed up.
That makes little sense considering those of us serious about it are getting beat pretty soundly in a lot of matches due to the blueberries and awox but keep coming and keep trying to recruit more soldiers.
You're the one using ez mode, I'm afraid. If I were you, I wouldn't pat myself on the back too hard... unless of course you happened to be the person funding all the awox/griefing, like Kirk and his suicide squads. Even then, best not to claim it's due solely to the skill of the actual soldiers involved!

Aero Yassavi wrote:John Demonsbane wrote: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. 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.
Let history be your guide, Aero:
Many 19th century european imperialists felt they had a "Divine Burden to reign God's Empire on Earth."
The White Man's Burden by Rudyard Kipling
Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden--
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go mark them with your living,
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden--
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought he us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your gods and you.
Take up the White Man's burden--
Have done with childish days--
The lightly proferred laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!

I originally got into EVE back in 2006 as an RPer. I still love the EVE lore to this day and I am glad you DUSTers are discovering this for yourself as well. |

the Minmatar torture for purpose and reason
the amarr torture for traitors, spies, agents, etc.
the Gallente torture to make examples of in the most brutal and horrible of ways Just glossed over the torture articles now (would never have guessed such entries existed). The Caldari kind is so subtle; definitely my favorite. Gallente style makes sense for special circumstances. I found the other two rather boring. *sniff* I'm so proud to be a Caldari right now. Well, my main is.
See? Caldari are subtle in their torture, the others are opulent (more or less.)
@Aztec: What are you talking about, Caldari don't have the influence? If our military was as large as the Gallente or Amarr, we'd have the strongest one. As it is, pound for pound, we are stronger. So strong that we fought the Gallente to a standstill with less than half the troops.

Freedom is delicious. No matter how well you treat your slaves, they're still slaves.
In life, choice is more important than quality. If you don't have choice, you're not really living.
Capsuleers and mercenaries are all about freedom, so I thought you would understand...
What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?
The pile of garbage looks nicer.
